he is two fold more the child of hell
than themselves" They can neither
make nor receive an argument; and as
food for pot-housc politicians they are
as appropriate as carrlon is for the
crow.
But not so with Bishop Galloway.
The misfortune with him Is, If mis-
fortune is the proper name for 1t, he
has spent his life in the study and
work of the ministry; and his prohl-
bition ideas have been absorbed from
his heterogeneous environments. He
has never made Il critical examination
of the basic principles underlying the
question. his political associations and
surroundings have been calculated
to enormously impress his mind when
in the passive state with regard to the
question, and what he is doing for
Prohibition is prompted more from
his strong sense of duty to fight every
evil that comes before him than from
thorough study and II profound
knowledge of the nature of the fOnn-
dation upon which the evil rests. And
yet our Southland, and our country
generally could perhaps suffer from
no greater misfortune than this. With
his uprightncss of character, life of
purity, honesty of purpose, faithful
ness to duty, earnestness in effort,
in, ,rn,ly nrnfnnIjfv n
theology, ability on the platform, and
strong social prestige wherever known,
what might he not do for the cause of
Prohibition if he would just stop long
enough to probe the question to the
bottom. Thus Fighting himself up,
he could swing Mississippi under the
banner of Constitutional Prohibition
in spite of every opposition that
might come up. He could cause his
eloquencc and logic to even penetrate
the political shell of our Senior Bish-
OPP and startle the Nation b.v an open
declaration on his part in favor of pc
litical Prohibition for the politica
features Of the politically legalized Ii
quor traffic He could start the ball
in motion that would soon bring the
Methodist people, South and North,
together under political Prohibition
banner, without their dahbling i'll or
having any more politics than they
dabble in and have already; and hav-
ing brought these two organizations
together along these lines; il Prohibi-
ton groundswell would follow among
all other Christian denominations that
all of the liquor manufacturers and
dealers out OF hades would be impo-
tent to check.
There is not a straight liquor journal
published in the United States that does
not admit that snch a increment as this
would sweep the business from the COM
try: and the only papers that do not
admit it are our Democratic and Re-
publican papers, and some of our re-
ligious journals. Believing this, and
being unable to find any one who will
try by argument to controvert it, let
others do as they may, shall contin-
ne to work for it, pray for it and vote
for it while the good Lord lets me
live, and try to influence my children
to follow my example when am gone

traffic.

Now let us see how that works. When
it comes to the enactment of laws, the
State and not the County is the unit;
and it is Just as much the duty of the
collective legislative body that repre-
sents that unit to protect one good
citizen in u county against the evil
practices of others, as far as it can be
done by the power of the State, as it
is to protect majority of good citi-
zens in county; and i'll the case of
any other evil except the beverage Ii
quor traffic that is the established pol
icy and practice of our government,
both State and National. Then how
in the name of right, and justice, and
humanity, and Christianity, and or
gained government can Bishop Gal
loway reconcile and defend this dis
crepancy in the interest of the bever-
age liquor traffic, and leave helpless
minorities to suffer all of its diaboli-
cal consequences, when and where he
would protect them by the strong
arm of the State against the practice
of any other evil, whether the county
contained majority IN favor of or
against such evil? If such exception

Ia the following way: When Pharaoh
summoned Abraham and reproached
him for his untruth IN saying that
Sarah was his sister, Abraham prayed
for the King, and Allah healed the
King, who now gave a Abraham many
rich presents, and among Others an
Egyptian slave named Hagar. She

undecided until commanded by Allah
to obey sarah In all things Yet he
entreated her not TO cast on her
bondmaid and her son. But this so
exssperated her that sh, declared she
would not rest until her hands had
been imbrued in Hagar's blood. Then
Abraham pierced Hagars ear quickly
