THE REAL CoMPLAINANTs.

New Bern Journal.
1t is not railroad companies that have
the real cause for complaint, in the mat
ter of State taxation 1T is the great mid
die class of the people, whose real and
personal property always gets listed for
its full valuation, and who have to pay
their taxes promptly and with no oppor-
tunity of seeking any redress for griev-
ances, if they believe themselves paying
full rates, while the corporations and
wealthy people escape their just burden.
But the time for an equalized tax-rate,
based on just property valuations, can
not be much, longer delayed in North
Carolina.

said, be offered to the government at
a fixed price. The idea behind this mcdi
tated move is not that the government
will accept the offer. but that, having de-
clined it. the combination will oacnpy Il
better position before the public. In
other words. it will be able TO argue that
the Government ought not to claim con-
troll of a business of which it refused to
become the owner. The fact that such an
offer is contemplated betrays the con-
sciousness of the railroad kings that in
the last resort the power of the people is
greater than theirs.

This paragraph by Mr. Walter H. Page
has excited some of the brethren
War, poverty, illiteracy, epidem
les and tornadOes have all done less
hurt to the South (be it said with re-
spect to all men of breadth and toier-
ance) than the politicians and preach
ers. For those have been the con-
SENATORS of outworn opinions and
creeds, and they have suppressed in
tellectual independence. II IS they
who are to blame for the loss to the
nation of the old time Southern force
and character since the war. They
have suppressed thought and prevent
ed growth--these unsecured colonels
who wear long hair and whites ties
and long frock coats, and these doc
tors of divinity who herd women by
the most stagnant waters of theology.
Walter II. Page, in Worlds WorA.e
In the above there is an assertion, toe
clear to require reiteration of two classes
of our citizens-the politicians and the
preachers.
Is it true of the politicians?
We answer that it is true of nine-tcnths
of them. They have not given the people
anything to think about and they have
not tolerated the men who thought they
might have something for the people as
citizens and voters to think about. We
have been permitted to think about cue
questionable negro. At last we have
taken up education and civil rights.
But some have actually grown so used
to their limitations that the President ct
the Teachers Assembly and some of the
papers cry out, I'VE have always had
liberty Did we not whip the British?'
The press has handled only one ques-
the Charlotte Observer-have broken
out for efficiency in office, economy in
government, and reasonableness in place
of hatred in politics, it has received tine
brand of prescription. We speak from
experience. We have received it for do
ing just these things. And the whole
State is witness
There are good and sound pupiic men
in North Carolina; but for the most part
Mr.. Pages estimate is correct as 10 the
politicians and the political organs. There
is nothing more hopeful now than the
fact that some of these papers--notab.y
the Charlotte Observer-have spoken
their bonds and are receiving the penalty
of their deliverance. They are making
way for new set of public men ard a
new era of public thought. And they
have reached a point where triumph is
assured.
Is his statement true as to the preach
ers? Have they suppressed lcuGnt!
Have they herded women by the most
stagnant waters of theology? We thinE
not. We know many preachers in Nr"'F

of them are not highly educated. Some

POLITICIANS AND PREACHERS

But '"Thnks'' it Not True as to
Preachers.

Mr.. Page, since he has the advantage of
profound education and varied and extern
siye experience. But they are not mar
row or intolerant. They 41pea" more
narrow to one who does not know them
than they do to one who has lived
amongst them. They stand for their de-
nominations. Undoubtedly that seems
narrowing to Mr.. Page. But he is too
broad a man not to respect them for their
convictions or to deny that by denomina-
tional unity Christianity has done its best
work.
They have not embraced the new the
ology. But that is not because they are
narrow. Nor is it because they are con-
sentative by nature. They will not aban-
don their faith in the Scriptures When
the last word has been spoken it will be
perceived that they were right. Their
protest against rationalism is deeper
than any mere prejudice, and means much
for the world. They will not quic their
advocacy of the spiritual life Ii this is
herding women by stagnant waters in
Nh Pages estimation ii is because he
has not drunk of the water OF life. Pro-
found though his education is and varied
his experience, if he has not had deep
religious experience, he can not under
stand our preachers.
They will become more highly educated,
and more of them will become educated.
Their views will be broadened as their
experiences increase, just as other mems
views do. Their ability to think, to i'll
terpret and to lead will improve like
wise. Their eyes are open. They know
what is going on, many of them, in the
theological realm. And if any good thing
is to be garnered for their .eoplc, they
will not miss it. But meantime they are
busily employed in saving one spot in the
world against rationalism and faithless-
ness. The freshest stream in this world
is the stream of living water that flows
in the heart of him who has faith.
Mr.. Pages paragraph is worthy of bet
ter than contempt. 1t will hurt no one
to read it, We people in North Carolina
do glorify ourselves in the name of the
State and blind ourselves to our faults
too much. Mr.. Page wrote with good
intention, although it is very unhand-
somely expressed. He is a son of North
Carolina and doubtless felt that allow
ance would be made for unfeelng Ian
guage. We hope the politicians will read
it. We hope the preachers will be warned
by it to study to lead, to beware lest
they should become susceptible to such
a charge. They will save themselves
against it not by getting angry with Mr..
Page, nor by going ever 10 the higher
criticism; but by studying TO give their
people the best that is in them, by preach
ing what they believe, by being free and
without fear and striving TO give their
people the same spirit This is, at any
rate. the Baptist spirit. Freedom is the
child of Truth and Faith is mothc" CT
them both. The man who fears truth on
any ground or prefers ignorance fer any
reason is an agent of slavery and an or
ponent of real religion.
