Liberty Union, at its last meeting,
passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t is custom and often q
great stronghold of old political parties
to bind all the voters possible by their
primaries, as all who take part in them
are considered bound to support to
the ticket.
Resolved, That we deplore the Gus
tom of our people in so pledging them
selves and look upon it as great me-
mace to liberty and free government:
and we earnestly implore all honest,
well-meaning citizens OF Scotland eoun-
ty to hold themselves free and untram-
eled, to study the situation as 1t is, and
act honestly and conscienciously In the
coming struggle for pure government.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to the great principles OF equality and
will put forth oil our efforts In supper,
of the demands of our organization.

From everyone comes praise for the
way the n. f. conference has been
handled by the home pastor-B. NJ.
DanfOrd. While much of the work Of
the conference has fallen on other
shoulders, still Mr.. Danford has GER
tainly borne his share. 1t devolved on
him to provide free entertainment to
the hundreds of ministers in attendance
on the conference, and while the citi.
zens of Memphis responded literally in
this direction and is probably the only
city of it's size that could and would
handle the crowd, there was much to
do by the home pastor. 1t was re-
markable the ability shown in many
ways bv this good man. Knowing
nearly all the ministers personally, he
made it a point to send pastors to
friends where their stay would be
pleasant to themselves and their enter
tainers. Mr.. DanfOrd seemed to be
present wherever needed and able 10
meet any emergency. This has been
hard work for him. especially
when it was placed on top of managing
the building Of the grand NJ. E. church
building in this city. He deserves q
vacation just as long as that gentleman
wishes for his grand work in both in
stances. The praise he is receiving is
very gratifying to him, no doubt, but
we are inclined to believe that it will
be long time before he wishes another
conference held in the town where he
is stationed.

The young man who did not care
cent for home and parents. bound to
see the world, is an important make
up of human nature. After spending
few weeks out in the world he returns
home, looking as though he had seen
the world and had a russell with an
elephant. and glad to return singing
that old song, Home Sweet Home
The only way to do with young man
when he gets the big head and knows
more than his parents, is to fire him
out on the world and let him sink or
swim. He will find in the course Of a
short time there is no one to care for
him like his mother. Most boys think
at certain age, that their mother
abuses them especially if she gives them
any timely advice or corrects them in
the least. But, take head of what yOul
mother tells you, and if you do, there
will be l.ss young men sent to states
prison and jails than there are at the
present day.-KahOka Review.

TARIFF AND BUILDING SOCIETIES.

The statement is made that over 4OO,-
600 houses have been erected III the
United states through the agency OF
building and loan associations. This Is
n very remarkable achievement. 1t Is
well TO bear In mind that their useful
ness and success are due to the eeono-
mic policy which has developed the
great resources Of the nation, covered
the country with shops, furnaces and
factories and afforded employment to
millions of men and women at lucrative
wages. Had these conditions not ex-
listed the record Of building and loan as
sociations would have been something
entirely different.-New York Press.
Obviously this is true. Plenty of en-
ployment and fair wages enable the
prudent and industrious to secure homes
Of their own-to get on in the world.
And as an auxiliary Of this praiseworthy
purpose, building and loan associations
are remarkably efficient. These organl-
cations are essentially for wage-earners,
and their earnings must exceed the bare
cost Of living before they can avail
themselves of the opportunities AFFORD
ed. 1t is proper to presume, therefore,
that the enforcement of wise protec-
tive principle against European cheap
labor competition has powerfully pro-
NOTED the prosperity of these assocla-
tions during the last few years.
The ignorant clamor for cheap goods
on the part of people who do not know
what they would involve to the masses
here and the selfish demand for them
by rich people who live on fat incomes
and care little whether labor is half
paid or not, should be resisted by tollers
whose wages depend upon the economi-
cal policies OF the government. There
are but two ways to get cheaper goods.
OHe IL 10 IlltiiNt u ncuNy cut III tilS Wpbua
OF American worklngmen, Food and
clothing were never cheaper than to-
day, but people who are never satisfied
want prices still lower. The other way
Is to adopt free trade or wisconsin,
This would open our ports to the prod
ucts of pauper labor abroad, and give
our people cheaper goods by dlscharging
or diminishing the employment of hun
dreds of thousands of wage-earners
These two ways are in effect but
single way after all. With n policy of
adequate protection guaranteed, wages
will not be dsastrously reduced II OBJ
llterations Of or radical reductions in
duties on importations are made, either
loss OF employment or cut in wages is
inevitable. These propositions are so
plain that any thoughtful wage-earner
ought to understand their strength and
reasonableness.

ADAMS NAIvETE.
A Woman Defends the First Man From
Charges of Cowardice.

A Woman Defends the First Man From
Charges of Cowardice.
And the Lord said, "Hast thou eaten
Of the tree whereof l commanded thee
thou shouldst not eat?' The man said,
"The woman whom thou gavest to be
with me--she gave me of the tree and l
did eat" This, it has been held for cen
turies, was Adams great sin, for which
he was driven out Of the garden and
his descendants, even to the present gen
Grafton, compelled to work for living.
In addition to bearing the consequences
Of his error Adam has been denounced
through all succeeding centuries for his
cowardice and lack of gallantry in try
ing to throw the blame upon the woman
who had been given to be with him
Goods first, best gift to man."
We are glad, therefore, that even after
5000 years Of unmerited condemnation
which the memory of our great pro-
genitor has had to bear there has arisen
one person who dares to speak for him.
And it is all the more fortunate that
that person is q woman-a member Of
the sex whom Adams words, by
wrong Interpretation, were held to have
maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline
F. Corbin, distinguished authoress. In
her latest book she says of Adams plea:
"This is not tho expression of cow
ardice, but Of the innocent and native
belief that anything which this lovely
being, fresh from Gods hand, proposed
must bo right, and right or wrong
must be done. 1t is trait which has
come down in unbroken continuity Of
inheritance to the latest born Of Adams
sons"
The thought is new one, but there is
not a man alive and capable Of appreci-
ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will
not indorso it. Where is thero q man to-
day, barring few crusty old bachelors,
who wouldno have dono the same thing
under like circumstances? The woman
was beautiful, the apple was good, and
Adam was an unsophisticated, ingenious
young man unaccustomcd to the little
social arts and deceptions that the
daughters of Mother Eve have learned
from her example.
We insist that Adam is vindicated,
and that Mark Iwain's tears over his
grave were deserved tribute. Now,
let the building of his monument pro-
ceed. And let it be recorded thereon
that she was a kind loving and obedient
husband. Troy Times
