Scores Virginia Republicans.

The Republican party of Virginia has
degenerated into but little more thar
an organization Of officeholders, said
Mr.. W. J. Showalter. of Harrisonburg
Va. in the lobby of the Ebbitt last
night. Repeated defeats have demor-
allied the rank and file of the party to
such an extent that they are not caring
very much one way or the other what
happens Except in few of the west
ern counties of the. State they have no
show at the polls. and they have grown
weary of voting against a majority.
But it really seems that the leaders
do not want the party TO win. They
have Just enough offices to go around
among themselves now, and are salts
fed They know that they are very
unpopular with the voters of their own
party, and that 1t is Tery much easier
to hold their jobs as bosses by putting
up no fight at all than II is by putting
up a stiff fight. Consequently the lead
ers simply call a meeting OF the com
mittee and the committee decides to
nominate no candidates That gives the
rank and file TO opportunity to depose
them from their self-erectcd thrones of
political bossism.
But | think what the President said
the other day is going to make the lead
ers do little real hustling for once.
Teddy can't be bluffed by the bosses.
and he will make them inject just lit
tie strenuosity into politics.

convention. | think all who have
watched the workings of the constitu
tion will agree that 1t is fundamental

EVIL OF Journalism IN

are in the army for one purpose-tc
wage eternal war against sin. and we
are kept too busy with the essential:
to bother about the outward forms ol
rituals.
Everything connected with our wor,
ship is simplitied on purpose to APP
peal directly TO those whom we desire
TO save. We approach them with the
tunes they are accustomed to heal
upon the streets. and with the COM
monest and most telling instruments
we can find-the drum and the GYM
balls, the trumpet, the tambourine and
the accordion.
We try to show them the truth, too,
in the simplest, most straightforward
manner possible. We have no costly
churches and beautiful ritual. Our
meetings are held in the open air on
the street corner. Our aim is to at
tract the attention of the people and
to win them to church in the quickest
manner possible. For THE World

large field.

after. We are not here to tickle their

outward forms must of necessity be
drying up inwardly. That the mere
conformity TO Journalism must of il
self curb naturalness. Journalism is
not spirituality. God acts through his
ent-individual man-and the SIM
piest, the most natural expression of
the Godhood in man is the strongest
and most powerful.
Ones creed should be basis of
good living, not building in which
we are forever housed. Christ taught
the abolition of form rot only by his
word. but by his acts. He rebuked
the long prayers of the Pharisees and
taught the people plain. simple truths.
He taught everywhere, too-in the
market place, on the hillside, or by the
sea. Wherever he saw sin he Crap
pied with it and overcame it: and he
did II i'll the most virile, most simple
fashion. We are told to follow him.
and we aim to do so. humbly seeking
his guidance.
And what is true of religion is also
true Of life: for ones religion should
be ones life; and surely ones life
ones living-is ones religion.
Now. in life it is simplicity that
counts. Naturalness outweighs for
mality. Outward pomp and form
often celebrate victory. but they
never won battle nor founded an
empire. Journalism is the curse of to-
day. 1t saps energy and uproots SIN

makes life itself lie The men of

THE BUSINESS OF BEGGING.
BY L. L.

Two Young PhiladelplIians have
made business of begging funds
for charities. 1t is queer call
ing, and one which obviously
would be suited to but few. but at
present the field is not overerowd-
ed. and they find it lucrative.
Their methods are as original as
the idea itself. They find out
whether an institution is desper-
ately in need of. say, two or three
thousand dollars, and they go to
the authorities or trustees, or the
latter apply to them. The profes-
sional solicitors of funds-that
sounds better than beggars-as-
certain all the facts about the in
stitution. the kind of work it is
doing. the history it has had. the
number of rich and benevolent
people who are likely to give
something to it. the interest which
it commands among people in
general. and everything else
which can possibly have any bear
ing on their task. OF course. they
visit it in person. They then state
the percentage of their gains
which they will expect as fee.
which may be 10. 20 or 30 per
The Washington times., 1902-08-23

cent, according to the amount Of
money. time and labor involved
and the chances eff getting what
they want. 1t is estimated that
they make over $4,000 a year
apiece.
At first sight this looks rather
like a swindle, and some benevo-
lent folk would squirm at the idea
of giving their money into the
hands Of professional solicitors of
this description. But. after all,
everything is systematized nova
days. so as TO take less time, and
WY not this?
The professional solicitor finds
it to his interest to make himself
agreeable to those from whom he
expects to secure donations, and
that is more than some of the vol
untary pleaders are able to do.
Moreover, one can say frankly 10
such a visitor that one does not
care to give, while with personal
friends evasions are sometimes
necessary. The scheme probably
benefits the charities, or they
would not put their business into
the hands of the young men; and
so, after all, why not?
