DON'T REPEAT HISTORY.

Nevada win entertain the Missouri
National Guards this week at Camp
Dockery, when the annual encampment
of the organization will he held. Every
thing indicates that pleasant and prof
table season In camp will be enjoyed by
TIE soldiers.
Yet It seems hardly out Of place to
issue note Of warning to the officers in
charge OF this weeks encampment.
Practically the same corps Of officers as
last year viii be in charge. The roster
ef soldiers will be changed very little.
For that reason it is not out Of order
to recall that last years encampment in
Springfield was not what Missouri ex.
pected.
Senator Ramp Of that city, when the
appropriation for the militia was being
considered At the last session Of the Gen
esL Assembly, took occasion to tell the
citizens side OF the encampment. A
few soldiers from the encampment acted
ina manner that cast discredit on the
cattre gathering. Senator Ramp called
he encampment . reign Of terror"
While taking all proper pride in the
bravery Of the boys In the National
ssnards Of Missouri. 1t is only fair TO ash

ence Methodist Episcopal Alliance was
organized year before its absorption.
May IL, 1889, is the birthday of the
Epworth League, the Central Church OF
Cleveland, o., having the honor and good
fortune of being the birthplace. The
name Of Epworth League was taken i'll
commemoration Of the village of that
name. where the Wesleys lived. Urged
by the Bishops and leaders of the
church. representatives of all the young
peoples societies mentioned were pres
ent. The constitution of the Oxford
League was taken for temporary use

One year later the Board of Control
elected Bishop James n Fitzgerald
president and Doctor W. II. w. Rees
secretary. Two thousand chapters and
100000 members We're enrolled. The

To-DAY's PRAYER.

There is every probability that the
proclamation OF Governor Dockery set
ting aside to-day a. one Of prayer and
tasting will be generally observed, es-
pecially in those parts of Missouri that
have not been favored with relief from
the drought during the past week.
Properly enough. the day may be re-
garded as historical date in the history
Of the State. Only once before has such
a proclamation been issued by Gov
ernor OF Missouri. It is a public recog-
milton Of the fact that an overruiins
Providence has the affairs Of men in the
hollow Of His hand, to do as He wills.
To those who believe in the efficacy of
prayer this day should call forth an ex-
preston Of their faith. If there has
been q tendency to murmur thanks for
blessings In spirit that lags because of
1loutine repetition, the tone Of to-day's
petitions should be more earnest.
!. aside from the material results that
may accrue from an answered prayer
THE spiritual growth should be commen
;sxsate with the faith shown. To some
tie results OF prayer are chiefly in the
Inward grace bestowed by contrite
hearts supplication to the Giver of all
good things. Whether or not rain fol
lows this days worship, the men and
women who ask for relief from tn,
drought will have showers of spiritua
blessings bestowed on them. That alon,
is worth the effort.
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-07-21
FOR PURE WATER.

st. Louis can i'll afford to let the in.
vestigation Of the water supply cease for
lack Of funds. Having gone thus far
with the injunction proceedings against
the Chicago Drainage Canal, it would be
the height Of folly to drop the matter
especially since every turn Of the suit
has been to the advantage of this State
aud city.
Mayor Wells appreciates the impor
fance Of this matter. as his advocacy Of
an additional appropriation for the pur
pose indicates.
; AT the last session of the General As
sembly a bill was passed appropriatins
$4,000 for the purpose of prosecuting
the suit on condition that st. Louis con
tribute at least ss great a sum.
St Louis, as the most vitality affected
part Of the State by the flow Of sewage
from the canal. can hardly do anything
less than continue the fight. There is
need for further investigation in ordel
to make the case before the Supreme
Court stronger. St Louis is not in 6
losing battle. The health of the city de
mands that every precaution be taker
fer purifying the water supply.
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-07-21

J. G. Johnson. chairman of the National
Democratic Executive COMMITTEES. expresses
these views concerning the action of the
Ohio State Convention:
"The Ohio State Convention IS the first
that has been held since the commencement
of the newspaper talk about {, reorganiza-
ton of the Democratic party in the interest
of a certain class of men who seem to glory
in the fact that they helped defeat 1t in the
two last national campaigns. They seem to
have made the issue at Columbus neg
alive condemnation Of men and measures
which they opposed in 1895 and in 1900 which
is. in effect an Endorsement Of their course
as bolters in those two campaigns
"As this seems to be their policy. am In
favor of recognizing 1t and OF MAKING
this an issue in every official gathering OF
Democrats from now on. Those Of US VINO
believe that We had an ideal Democratic
pIatform and candidate in 1900 should insist
that that fact be recognized. as a matter Oh
party policy. at every Democratic conseh-
tion. do not mean by this that new issues
should not be emphasized1 or thar olo issues
which new conditions have restored to
leading places. should he neglected. but

Of the fundamental principles OF Democracy.
unanimously adopted by our last National
Convention, the Kansas City platform can

tions of every important gathering OF DEM

course should not be abandoned at the die
tnt,on of men who will only agree to be

will. inferentially at least. indorse their

the fact that. had they done their duty in
1896. or even in 1900. we would have had an
administration that would have settled that
is. ue in favor of the Democratic conten-
tion.
Trusts and the Tariff.
"They demand that antitrust be made the
hattie cry. We do not forget that the trusts
have seized the business Of the country
under an administration which they helped
elect. They tell us the tariff must be sub
stituted for Issues on which We have lost
twice. We do not forget that we have lost
on the tariff issue ever since the war. and
that although we have fought it for forty
years the tariff is to-day higher and more
unjustly discriminating than 1t ever was.
They would have US turn back to the
straddling issues on which our only presi-
Dental candidate since the war was elected.
We have not forgotten that he only car

EPWORTH LEAGUE.

This years convention of the Epworth
League in San Francisco marks an
epoch in the history of that erganiZa-
ton. Though only twelve years old Of
ficially, an attendance of 10000 dele
gates is certainly large enough to arouse
all the enthusiasm that young followers
of the doctrines of John Wesley could
reasonably hope to contain.
Just as the Christian Endeavor Society
is the chief medium through which the
work Of the young people In the Pres
byterian. Christian. Congregational and
other denominations is done, so the Ep-
worth League stands in the same rela-
tion to the Methodist Church. As a mat
ter of fact, the Epworth League has
| robbed the Christian Endeavor move
| ment of about million and half menu
bers.
Many societies were gathered into the
Epworth League. Perhaps the chief Of
| these was that part of the Christian En-
deavor Society which held n mass Of
young Methodists. The Church Lyceum,
| founded in 1872, and recognized by the
! General Conference four years later.
was succeeded by the oxford League.
The League was founded by Bishop Vim
cent and at the birth of the Epworth
League contributed 800 chapters.
Another of the component societies
| afterwards absorbed was the Young
Peoples Methodist Episcopal Alliance.
| which was formed AT the Despiaines,
ILL.,. camp-meeting in 1883. This organi-
zation had for its chief tenet the Wes-
| leyan doctrine of entire sanctification.
At the time of its absorption. 40 socie.
1 ties were enrolled. The Young Peoples
Christian League was organized by the
late Reverend Doctor !. Ii. Twombly in
| 1887 in an effort to concentrate the work
/ of the Methodist young people. 1t quick.

opinion yesterday to Supervisor OF Light

of Frank l. Johnston to erect five poles.
