Against the Saloon.

The General Association of Ken
lucky Baptists, in their recent ses-
sion at Georgetown-the largest and
most thoroughly representative ses-
sion of this body that has met in
years-took an advance position on
the liquor traffic that means much to
the cause of temperance, provided
the Association q. Hopkinsville next
year will make the proposed change
in the constitution with regard to
representation in that body. On the
first part of the report-the most
terrific arraignment of the saloon
business l ever read-there was prac-
tically no division of sentiment, the
vote for its adoption being almost
unanimous. 1t was as follows:
awe would put on record again
our unqualified condemnation of the
saloon business. Our opposition to
it deepens with the years. We be-
lieve that the business is sin against
God, disease in the State, a blot
upon our civilization, shame to the
churches, a foe to prosperity, men
ace to society, an adversary to the
cause of Christ, an enemy to the
home and destroyer of men, in
body, mind and soul.
"There is not grace that adorns
human nature, not virtue that gives
strength to man or to society or to
State, not talent that serves man.
kind, not an interest that pertains to
human welfare, nor cause that
looks toward human redemption but
what is blighted or weakened, or
perverted or hindered or destroyed
by this Satan of modern progress.
And there is not a sin or crime or
vice or shame known to our courts
that by it is not produced or
strengthened and widened. There
is not another enemy of cur people
that does not find in this it's most
faithful ally.
"Any completely with this busi-
ness is unchristian. To engage in
it as distiller, wholesale or retail
dealer, or to have it in connection
with hotel, to have money invested
in it; to loan money for it's support,
to rent property for it's use, to fre-
quent the saloon as a patron; in
short, every vital connection with
the business we look upon as incon.
sistent with the Christian profes.
sion" w estern Recorder.

These are some of the qualifica-

find out without formal examination
of the applicant for the position of
teacher. And, unless an applicant
have these qualifications, it is better
far that he were not elected to teach
the children of any community. The
education of the children can not
wait on the reformation of the teacher.
The first thing we should do is to
arouse a deep and increased interest

SIPERBLY COURAGEOUS.

Every one admiFes courageous
man, and especially is this true OF n
man who Is courageous IN politics.
The general public has seen so much
of the tendency among politicians TO
dodge issues with which they were
confronted. and upon which they
we're called TO give an expression OF
opinion, that 1t is "a wholesome relief
when a man who is candidate Tor a
great office meets an issue squarely
and honestly with candid expires
sion OF opinion, and il must OF neees-
sity appeal to every honest man,
whether friend or foe. In this con-
nection we declare that Judge Park
er's acceptance of she challenge hurl-
ed at him by President Roosevelt in
his letter of acceptance, in reference
TO his famous service pension order,
in which he defies the Democratic
candidate to annul she order, is SUI
perbly courageous, and has only been
surpassed in the annals OF political
history by this same Incompatible
leader himself when he electrified the
country by his famous gold stand
ard telegram to the st. Louis con-
yention. There Is nothing foolhardy
or indiscreet about Judge Parker :
political courage; it is the product OF
an honest heart, devoid OF spectacu'
lar features, but sublime withal, and
It must rally TO his standard thous-
snds OF independent thinkers, who
admire man who entertains con
victions OF his own and who has the
manliness and courage, in the face Of
all precedent, to give public express
sion to them.

THE FAIR.

The eighteenth annual fair held by
the Rappahannock Valley Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Society, which
closed ON the both, was in many re-
spects it's most successful exhibition.
The agricultural exhibits were gener-
ally conceded to be the finest ever
seen at any previOusfairs. The splen-
did display of vegetables was partly
due to the good seasons and partly
to the Improvement in the methods
of cultivation which the farmers and
truckers have adopted i'll recent years.
The marked Improvement in the dis
play of stock is due also 10 two
causes. first, to that friendly spirit
Of competition, induced largely by
the fair. and secondly by the immi-
grafton of energetic modern farmers
and stock Faisers from Other States.
These newcomers to our section
have done Us a double service. They
have not only given our people an
opportunity so buy high-bred stock
ut reasonable prices at home, but
they have excited in them a certain
domestic pride which has redounded
to their advancement. Is is difficult
20 estimate the amount OF good our
fair has done in the interests OF agrl-
culture alone, bus it is certain that
no other agency has been so inssru-
mental in bringing about agricul-
tural Improvement. Aside from the
exhibits, where the farmers can meet
