Desecratlon Of Sunday.

do not desire to put on any dicta-
torial airs, nor to be conscience for
any one else, but it must appear to all
thoughtful people who have thecause
of Christianity at heart that the Sum
day excursion 10 one of the most de-
moralizing institutions OF our day, and
if all who bear the Christian name
would cease to patronize 1t, it would
be done away with. 1t exists because
| the people ask for it. It deprives the
hard worked trainmen and station
agents of their Sabbath rest of which
they have little enough; it makes day
Of riot and hilarity of a period of time
designed for rest and worship. 1t
pours into a small town on the Sab
bath day great multitude of people
to disturb the peace of the community,
where many good people live who are
exercising themselves to preserve the
day sacred for themselves and their
children, and against their vigorous
protest, to favor few sports who have
an eye to the revenue derived there
from, and no care or even respect for
| Christian institutions. Secular games
! are provided for the entertainment of
the excursionists, contrary to the law
OF the state, and there is 3 mingling of
human elements never intended to be
| thrown together in the common inter-
course of society. ..s. Il. .
Going on such an excursion, or any
Sunday picnic or excursion made up
of miscellaneous people, is not like a
man walking out quietly alone or with
is family or taking quiet drive with
them on Sunday afternoon. It is an
entire perversion of the meaning and
spirit of the day and a dishonor to
Christ and every Christian institu-
tion of which THE one day is the
sacred memorial. The seculariza-
tion OF the Sabbath today is some
thing fearful to think of social pleas
ure, sporting and bargaining all come
in. Entirely aside from religious
grounds this strenuous pressure OF
modern life having no leisure even
for a Sabbath reflection BODIES no good
to US as a people. One of our great
teachers of our time recently said in a
great Christian conventions: 1.-THE
greatest foe to modern Christianity
is the American Sunday what we must
bring back is the American Sabbath.
1t is refreshing to read the TO low
ing statement of the officials of the
great Burlington and Union Pacific
railway lines: eve will not force our
men to carry excursion trains on Sun
day; they get few enough sabbaths
of as it is. Such expeditions are, in
addition, hurtful to the morals of the
community. The auditorium must be
built some other way"
Nothing is done on Sunday on the
Union Pacific line, an official of the
road said, except what Is absolutely
necessary to handle perishable goods
and the overland passenger service.
All local trains are at a standstill on
that day.

FEARsoME POLICY.

One of the last things John j. In
gals wrote was this brief tribute to
the daily newspaper:
In system of representative pop,
ular selfgovernment like ours the SUI
prame power is public opinion. From
the ultimate DEGREES of this tribunal
there is neither exculpation nor ap.
peal. Its organ is the press which pro-
tects minorities from the tyrannies of
majorities, the weak from the oppres-
sion of the strong, and the poor from
the eXtortion of the rich by appeal
to the conscience of the people, and
by condemnation of error, falsehood
and injustice. The august judge, the
despotic magistrate, the corrupt legis-
lator may be Indifferent to the penal
ties and sanctions of the moral law,
may care little for heaven or hell, and
less for God or devil; but he trembles
and covers and shirnks from the terri
flying publicity of the daily newspa-
per. No craft or subtlety can evade it's
sleepless vigilance, no hypocricy can
escape its penetration; no bride can
purchase it's verdict. With free
thought, free speech and a
free press our civilization will emerge
unimpaired from the tremendous revo-
luton through which the standard of
Spartacus will be raised in vain.
If it were not for the fear of public
lity through the newspapers this would
be much worse world than it now is.
To the wrong doer it is like the sword
of Damocles. Next to the law it is
the greatest restraining power The
influence of the press for good is
great. Fear of publicity through the
press keeps people from evil deeds.

graph at all favorably. The Telegraph
lis sure that some of the people who
are making the suggestion, as, for in
stance, Hon. H. G. Evans, temporary
chairman of the Polk county demo-
cratic convention, must be weak in
their memories. The Telegraph, puts
in a reminder, as follows:
The last time a democratic state
convention nominated the judge for
public office the party had reason to
regret it, for within a week there was
given to the public letter, written
by Kline prior to the convention. in
which he repudiated and discredited
democratic principles. The senti.
mcnts of the letter were in conflict
with the platform on which he was
nominated. yet he turned deaf car
to the general and strident democratic
demand that he withdraw and give
the state committee chance to put
u true democrat in his place He
neither retracted the declarations of
the letter nor got off the ticket, but
stuck to a nomination which would
not have been given him if his .olter
had been published before the con-
vention and thus helped to defeat the
state candidates, himself included. He
rendered such service to the republic,
an party in that campaign that Gov.
Shaw, against the protests of the dem
ocrats of Iowa and against the law,ap-
pointed him member of the board of
control, an office he still holds.
After citing the above, the Sioux
City Journal is Of the opinion that
Judge Kline will not do. The man
the democrats of Iowa need to unite
the party for the purposes of this elec-
ton is man who has never made a
record on any public question.

A HEALTHY REACTION.

A healthy reaction is making itself
manifest in the public sentiment of the
South. The law abiding, God fearing
element are beginning to realize the
fearful influence on themselves and
their children of the many barbarous
lynchings that have disgraced that sec
ton during the past forty years.
Ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones, Of
Alabama, spoke wisely when he said:
"These mob executions are brutaliz-
ing our children, bunting our relig-
ion and undermining our civilization.
Can any one in the sound of my voice
rise up and say that this is not SO?
We are undermining all noble ideals
Of duty and manhood. When We sur
render to any local public opinion,
sheriff is not bound to take any risks
even to loss Of life or limb in defense
of a prisoner, we abdicate all our past
and bow down and worship false and
base standards of duty. Why should
not the sheriff die at his post as well
as the locomotive engineer, or the
priest, or the doctor, or the soldier?"
Brave words well spoken, but they
are not better than one would expect
from Tom Jones, gallant Confederate
soldier, reform governor Of Alabama,
lawyer, and by word and
deed exponent of law, order and
economy in his state.
In order to more effectively stamp
out and put an end to these mob
murders, the Alabama constitutional
convention has adopted an amendment
giving the governor full power to re-
move a sheriff who fails to do his full
duty in defense of prisoner against
mob violence.
The reputation of Alabama has SUI
fered severely by reason of lynch law
and the cowardice or completely of
sheriffs is blamable for this disgraceful
condition.
