T. McKfrahau.


z. McKfrahan.
Rev. M. f. McKirahan, pastor of the
United Presbyterian church of this city,
preached Sunday evening on the subject:
ssCan the Republican State Convention
Afford to Ignore Prohibition and Other
Moral Issues?"
1t was a strong sermon and it is unfor-
tunate that more could not have heard
him.
His text was from Proverbs: "When
the righteous are in authority, the people
all rejoice"
He prefaced his remarks by saying
that some ministers would not preach
political subjects because it was not right,
but he held that all things that concern
about There are no questions" said
he, ~either social or political but that are
of moral interest to man.
"a republic is where every man is a
part of the ruling power, and the office
holders are the servants, but when the
oficehoIders assume the power, the very
letter of the term republic is lost
eff public officials could be made to
think that they are the hired servants of
the public, just like we have hired men
and hired girls, there would not be such
a scramble for public Offices"
He referred to the causes of the war
and contrasted our present troubles with
those of twenty-nine years ago. He
said. @Here we are just about as troubled
as before the war"
Coming to the real subject of his ser
mon, he said: "ssust now there Is doubt
in the hearts of many lest those whom
we consider our friends, will give way to
the immense pressure of those who
would break down the institutions of our
country. Do they not regard the work
ingman? There are millions spent an
nuaIIy for drink in this country"
He held that if prohibition was made
national, there would not be need for

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
Republicans Discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of a
Non-Partisan Com IssIon.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The plan of a
non partisan commission to prepare a
comprehensive code of laws restricting
immigration, has been discussed at a
gathering of prominent Republican rep
resentatives.
1t was the general expression of such
men as Messrs Reed, Deliver and Nc
Gam that immigration should be wholly
divorced from politics. In order to ac-
complish this, it was suggested that CON
gress could create a national commission
of fifteen members, representing all
parties, so that the political effects of any
restrictive code prepared would not be
borne by any one party.
