Mr.. Rosenberger is an earnest Popu-
list and an ardent reformer; has been
connected with the Knights of Labor in
Chicago and several other cities. He
believes in voting for principle rather
than party or creed-is firm in his con-
victions of right and wrong-and would
hew along the line, even though the
chips were to fly in his own face.
He has been firm believer in and sup
porter of Populism since 1892 Against
his wish and conviction he supported
the fusion ticket in '96, and, like many
others, has repented in sack-cloth and
ashes.
Mr.. Rosenberger is also firm believer
In government paper money, claiming
it to be the only scientific money. He

WHAT SANCTIFIEs THE LINKS:
Why Is Sunday Golf Raised Above the
Level of other Gamess
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Sunday golf is now played openly all
the links in and around Chicago. What is
more, 1t is played by church members in
good and regular standing.
There is not word of complaint at Lake
Forest. in Evanston or in Lake View
against this condition, although three
years ago each of these suburbs protested
vigorously against Sabbath dissertation"
by the golf players. So complete has been
the revolution in religious circles that 1t is
North-side suburbs take their golf outfits
to church on Sunday morning, stand them
in the Hobbies until services are over, and
then proceed directly to the links. where
they dine and pass the remainder of the
day either as players spectators of the
noble game. 1t seems that the pastors
have come to accept Sunday golf either as
a necessary evil or an innocent recreation,
or both At all events, the absence of all
pulpit criticism is evidence OF the fact that
they have ceased to contend against it,
There is nothing harmful in Sunday golf,
as the golfers see it; not thing. The rec
reation is is innocent of guile as any game
could possibly be. 1t is healthful from both
a physical and a moral viewpoint. But
precisely the same is true of Sunday fish
ing, Sunday hunting. Sunday baseball, Sun
day bicycling and Sunday horse racing.
Those who find pleasure in Sunday sports
of any kind or all kinds are unable to see
where there is any harm in them. There is
really no harm in Sunday game of eu-
chre, whist or seven-up from the card
players viewpoint. OF course, they can be
made harmful but respectable people who
like Sunday game of cards will not con-
fess that the particular game they like
could by any possibility be of itself HARM
full.
Yet, of all the Sunday games, Sunday
golf is the only one thus far recognized.
passively, at least, legitimate by the
church. Church members are no longer
chided for going to the links or for re-
naming there for returning from the
links too late for the Sunday evening serv-
ice. Sunday golf seems TO be quite right
in their estimation. Why ii should be
raised above the level of Sunday baseball,
bicycling or horse racing we do not know
We have not learned. There may be some
special reason why the Sunday links are
sanctified while the Sunday race track or
baseball diamond is sinful. but no pulpit
has thus far taken the trouble to explain
to us what it is. We hope, however, to be
enlightened in due time.

The evangelist who conducted ii devoted
most of his attention that evening to the

what they must do TO win their way to the

over, their duty in regard to others He
told them they must endeavor earnestly to
bring all their friends to the light

whom any of you would be willing to
leave behind? Fathers, mothers, brothers,
sisters-would you want to leave any of
them out?"
His remarks seemed to the congressman's
small daughter to be directed pointedly at
her. She is a very conscientious child and
she felt IT incumbent on her to say some
thing.
"Is there anybody in your family you'd
be willing TO leave?" repeated the evan

Yes" piped up the congressman's
