MaYaower Who smokad

From the Philadelphia Raccrd
The Withdrawal of Mrs. Russell Sage
from the Mayhower Society because
the men smoke at tbs annual INSET
ings has caused widespread comment.
The discovery that the descendants OF
this Mayfiower pilgrims are addicted to
smoking TO such a degree that they
cannot go through one meeting in the
year without Indulgence has led to the
charg'5 that lhey are degenerate as
measured by the standard of their sturdy
sires Many find IL incOngruOus 10 as
sociate the MayllOwSr and smoking,
and we are not surprised that a woman
of Puritan fiber should rebu1o 50 sad a
departure from the early principles.
All this arises from a common fall
lacy as to the character of the Pill
grims. Perhaps it is natural to sup
pose that as they were intolerant OF
people who did not accept their ideas
they were fanatical respecting carnal
pleasures. The evidence is all to the
contrary Severe as they were in en-
forcing obedience to their religious
land social regulations, they had q
lively appreciation of whatever would
contribute to the pleasure and comfort
of the body. Ale, for example, WITS as
common a beverage among them as coli
fee is with this generation, and the
long clay pipe came to be an essential
part Of every man's personal property.
1t was not until a century and a half
ago that any war was begun on drink
ing in this country, and the fight
against tobacco was much later 1t is
not long since the Methodist Church
ruled against the use OF tobacco by
ministers, while other denomination
are still tolerant as to smoking. In
deed. the Mayflower people knew how
To take their pleasures, their seventies
being aimed chiefly against other peo-
lple's forms Of indulgence. 1t is prob
able that the average descendant oi
the Mayfowsr pilgrims really practices
greater self-denial than did his remote
ancestors.

When you have convinced thinking

that it is just. you have gained your
cause; and what is gained by argu-

true, this being the appointed method
on which the ministry of the churches
must deDsnd, it follows that he who
speaks must have a free platform. He
must be allowed to speak truth without
fear or threatening. He is mot
always free to do so, possibly
because we do not all insist upon do
ing so. The ministry OF today has its
difficulties, as well as the ministry OF
past times. Ministers who preach

OF bows and smiles, coneiliatory ges-

ceedea to bow himself out with pro- |

broke into a broad self-appreciatiye |
smile and he said: Now, you gee, |
Lewis l am not always as ugly as

voice or interrupting his series Of bows,
Lewis answered: Impossible, Mr..
Speaker. Impossible! That would be
quite impossible" BY that time he
was at the uoor and gone. A guaat
laugh broke out at the Speakers eX-
lpense. His face grew red for an in
slant, and then Mr.. Reed laughed as
heartily as the rest of us.
The Speaker was strenuOusly op-
posed to interference with the Cuban
struggle for independence and equally
opposed TO war with Spain. After the
/ u. S. S. Maine had been destroyed in
the harho1' of Havana, and shortly be-
fore the report Of the naval board Of
Inquiry revealed that she had been
destroyed by an explosion from outside
of the ship, had a talk with Mr. Reed
on a street car one morning en- rowe

drawl, he inquired Handy, what do
you fellows want TO go to war with
Spain for? Whats your idea anyhow p
Mr. Speaker" ! said, Il never
wanted war with Spain, or any other
power, until Spain hlew up our bat
tleship and killed our sailors. Spain
began war on us right there, and
want to whip her quick and whip her
hard"
How do you know Spain had any
+ thing to do with destroying that shipT
he inquired, and then added: Maybe
a boiler exploded or n she'll burst in
the ammunition stores. Hsw do you
p know?"
