CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

In the August number OF the Century
Magazine there is an instructive article
on "wesley's Days OF Triumph" by Pro-
lessor c. T. Winchester, Of Wesleyan,
University, In which mention Is made OF
Mr.. wesley's influence on the political
morals Of the day. At that time 1t was
considered by many to be entirely proper
to buy and sell goods, that had not paid
the duty It was not thought immoral.
as everybody did It, but Mr.. Wesley told
his people plainly that they must put
this abomination away or they would see
his face no more. THE records of the
excise show" says the writer, that
Smuggling thereafter almost ceased on
the Cornish coast. So. too the universal
ley denounced as impossible for Chris
tian man; he had the satisfaction to learn
In many instances that members Of his
socicties would not even eat or drink at
the expense Of the men for whom they
voted, and that the Methodists came to
DO recognized as almost the only incor-
ruptible class Of voters in England
That Is something for the Methodists
to be proud Of. and we wish that there
were more John wesleys in this day and
generation. We do not believe In mixing
politics with religion. but 1t Is the duty
of g. religious man to mix his religion tho
roughly with his politics, to mako his re-
ligous creed his guide in his political
conduct Something may be done by law
to purity our politics to prevent cheat
ing and bribery and other forms of cor
ruption, but II there Is to be genuine
reform 1t must be brought about by the
people themselves. and not by the law.
At least, the people must see to it that
tho laws against such practices are rigidly
enforced
First of ALL the candidates themselves
should obey the law In the spirit and
in the letter They should refuse abso-
lutely to use any money or any other
means contrary to law in securing votes.
If they will do this there will be no
hribe-taklng, for there can be no bribe-
taking without brlbe-givins. II the cam
ddates will not do this, IL they insist
upon using doubtful means. 1t is the duty
of all righteous voters to refuse to sup
rort them. The righteous voters OF the
state of Virginia. are largely in the ma
iority, and II they will, they may have
only righteous men in office. 1t Is their
own affair, and If they elect corrupt men
1t is their own fault.
The trouble is that many righteous
voters do not attend nominating conVen-
lions or primaries, do not take the pains
To find out the moral standing of candi-
dates, do not take the pains to get the
best In pursuing such course they are
leaving undone those things which they
ought to do. which in case like this Is
scarcely less reprehensble than doing
those things which they ought not to do.
1t is almost as bad for the righteous
voters, through neglect. to allow corrupt
men to get into Office as It Is for them
to support corrupt men at the polls, 1t
is the duty of every qualified voter to
vote and do his best to put good men into
office. II he falls to do his best In this
direction, he falls short OF his duty, and
neglect of a. hounden duty Is the next
thing TO committing a positive wrong
