William Mckinley is kind of
fetch for Republicans to worship.
But, really, what great thing has he
ever done or said? He is not credited
with ever having performed an act Of
real statesmanship. He is little
more than figurehead. He never
made but one strong speech in his
life, and that was in advocacy Of the
free and unlimited coinage of oliver.
Let some one Of his blind worshipers
point with pride" to any great act or
speech besides this one.-Wabash

"The Poor Mans Club"

The Rev. Walter B. Vassar writes as fol-
lows in the Pittsburg Christian Advocate:
The social side of the saloon Is the deadliest
and most dangerous phase OF il. Just ut
the most dangerous period in a young
mans life, when he Is apt to form false no.
tions of the restraints of home, the saloons
open their doors and bid him enter. The
estimate is made that ninety per cent Of
all drink cursed lives began the career of
the drunkard at the bar of the saloon.
Very strangely, we think, there are some
who, with false pity for the poor are will
ing to uphold 1t for the sake of making
what is called "club" for the lowly. If u
tree may be known by its fruits, we may
not be charged with bearing false witness
when we say the institution which is the
rem iezvous of crooks, which is the center
of every influence which makes for the de-
moralization of civil government, which
makes it impossible to pass sufficient laws
for civic righteousness, has no right to live.
He who condones its presence in COM
munity is either blind to its effect or NOR
ally on u level with it.

The MissIonarles and Te,nperanco.


The fact of tho advance of total absti-
nence among the missionary body in India
received striking confirmation at dinner
party on the Queens birthday, given by
the collector of the district, when of the
nine missionary guests present all drank
to the health OF her majesty In cold water.
was the subject Of much comment by the
rare to find missionary Of any nationality
In India to-day who takes liquor In any
form, except for medicinal purposes. Even
the German brethren, who indulge in their
beer at home, do not make practice, we
are told, Of using 1t in India. The change of
sentiment In this matter during the last
quarter Of a century has been most
marked. 1t is noteworthy that the Ameri-
can missionaries had the honor of being
the pioneers in bringing about so desira-
BILE II result. There was time when they
were looked upon as extremists and fanat-
les by the other missionaries Of other ma
tionalities, and were subjected to no little
ridicule. firm. uncompr lmising attitude
has had its effect. The influence on the
native church has likewise been whole
some. The vice of intemperance has un-
doubtedly decreased among native Chris
tians OF Madras during the last twenty-five
years, when we consider their numerical
growth during the same period. Not that
the drinking habit has by any means been
entirely abandoned; but 1t is not the re-
proach Of the community that it once was.
1t is u matter OF rejoicing that our own
mission has taken an untiinching stand
from the first on this question: Mangla

One of the surest ways of ending ones
days in a madhouse Is to stimulate tagged
brain by constant "nips'' of spirits. Over
Indulgence in spirits Injuries the memory to
an incredible degree. In years gone by no
person who was known to be of intemper-
ate habits was permitted to appear as a
witness in the Spanish Courts of Justice,
the authorities maintaining that alcohol
ism was so prejudicial to the brain that 1t
was unsafe to accept the testimony of an
inebriate. There Is singular instance on
record OF merchant who grew so accus-
toned to jogging his brain by brandy drink
ing that unless he could procure "nip'
he was utterly unable to work. Needless
to say he generally left his office in state
of intoxication. The day that his brain
collapsed he went home and insisted on
putting every member of his family to bed,
under the impression that they, too, hac
drunk not wisely but too well.

Depopu latiOn of Ireland.

In 1916 the decadence of Ireland
began in earnest, aud it has kept up
ever since. In that year the popula-
ton was s,295,051, the high water
mark. On the 30th of last June it
was 1851, ,051, the lowest ever known.
While emigration has been robbing
the nation of its vigorous sons and
daughters, the birth rate has been in
sufficient to fill up the gaps thus
made. The marriage rate has been
only 5.S per 1000 at best for the last
ten years, while just now it is 0.3
under the miserable figure. The
population decreased ID, 0s4 between
the first Of April and the last of June.
1t is estimated that in II years it will
be only 1900, 000.-Victor Smith in

The Crusade i'm Brief.

Saloons are sin and disease breeders,
but while our Board of Health tacks up
notices of contagious disease, the Board Of
Excise tacks up license to sell drunken
ness.
Medical science is more and more dis.

treatment Of disease because other reme-
dies, most Of them posons, are safer and
more effective.

Science Must Not Claim Too Much.

1t is we'll that science has come to the aid
of temperance. But science cannot win the
battle alone. To say that alcohol acts so
and so upon the body makes no impression
upon the average mind. He needs the APP
peal to the heart. He needs the burning
words of women who have felt, and the i'm
passioned appeal Of the reformed. He
needs the recital of the sufferings OF
those whom the drink traffic has damned.

Dissolyes Pastoral Relations Between Rev.
w. K. Thompson and the Roney's Point
Congregation.
The factional relation existing for 6
years was yesterday dissolved between
Rev. W. r. Thompson and Roney S
Point congregation. This relation has
been one fruitful of good-the congre-
cation having advanced in Crganiza-
ton and numbers until it is now one
of the strong, active congregations OF
tho Presbytery.
The Rev. Mr.. Thompson has been
active in the young peoples work IN
the Presbytery, and has been the Sab
bath school superintendent Of the
Presbytery for a period of years. He
is secretary of the Board of Regents OF
Muskingum College, ana is at present
the moderator of the Synod of Ohio.
Having been identified with the relig-
ious interests of this section for a
period of II years, his resignation is
generally regretted.
The congregation, at their meeting
on Saturday, expressed by a series OF
strong and earnest resolutions, the
high esteem in which he is held and
the regret felt at the proposed resig-
nation. These resolutions were pre-
sented to the Presbytery, and were an
earnest testimony of his worth as a
pastor and Christian gentleman.
Rev. Thompson has number OF
matters in prospect, but has not fully
decided on his future course.

MORE ABOUT VACCINATION

Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Having noticed irs the Sunday Reg
lister an article urging compulsory vaccin-
ation and setting fol%h reasons why
vaccination should be compulsory, I wish
to state that | am opposed to it: and sub
nit the following to sustain my position:
First-Vaccinaton does not protect child
rem or adults from smallpox or varioloid
Second-It sometimes iInparts to healthy
children a fatal and loathsome disease;
Third-No law can compel man TO sub
nit against his will, to any surgical
operation whatsoever;
Fourth-No vaccine virus is entirely free
from disease:
Fifth-Vaccinatio ton is unscientific;
Sixth-Physicians cannot guarantee one
against injurious effects Of vaccination.
Under misplaced confidence in the fads
of medicine, persons are often induced to
innoculate themselves or their children
with the filthy virus, obtained from dis
eased cows, with the hope that in some
mysterious way they may be protected
against smallpox They thus voluntarily
contract one disease in the false hope that
they may escape another which they
would never contract should they closely
observe the laws of health The enforc-
ement of rules of Boards of Health par
takes strongly of despotism. In matters
of health it is well to advise. but not COM
pei. The people need sanitary education
but not compusion. I challenge the medi-
cal profession to show a single reason or
any kind of proof whatever, that is
worthy of intelligent consideration, that
vaccination ever did or ever can benefit
the human race, or any member of it in
the slightest degree; or that healthy
children are in any degree dangerous to
any one. on account of not having been
vaccinated.

President Mckinley's message was
very favorably received, except OF
course By partisan opponents. and
they have offered very little Logical
opposition to it. The newspapers
and statesmen OF other countries,
notably Germany and England, com
mcnt fayorably upon the message.
Among the important coAsidera-
tions Of this very important state
paper are: An official demonstra-
ton OF the general prosperity 50
evident everywhere. in increased ex-
ports, condition OF national finances,
OF trade, labor etc. The president
recommends the existing gold stand
ard, enequivocally. He says that
trusts or combinations to engross
or control markets are obnoxious,
and should be handled by congress.
He wants Cuba to be'free, and says
the Filipino rebellion will be put
down, and the islands given proper
government. This, message is the
official expression of some very in
teresting history and possibly is the
beginning OF a wider scope OF inter-
est in the worlds doings. The world
seems to recognize this country's
larger sphere of action, and accord
he Presidents message ain impor-
tant place in the affairs of the world.
