Answer to Charges Made Against
the Church.


In. reply. we say that they are
true in part, and 1t is shame that
| must confess it, burt the devils are
SO numerous that they grow without
being planted. and they sweetened
their. tongues with deceit and chatter
with angels, and do deceive the very
elect of the church. The question
that now confrOnts us, Who Is to be
blamed? we will leave to the public
to decide. At this writing, We must
confess that there are men occupying
our .pulpits pretending to be ex-
Founders of the gospel, that no de-
cent person should allow their fam
lilies to hear the gospel SO expound-
ed
We will herewith give a category
of the men we condemn: The man
who Is guilty of rape or even allows
himself to be accused should not be
leader IN anys Christian society,
and thet people and the church should
cry Away with him!" And he who
is guilty of breaking up mems fam
lilies and he who has a public rumor
after him of being immoral, and the
man who has to be moved from
place to place on account Of such ac-
cusations should not lie supported by
the people, for even the vilest sinner
is better than he. Ministers who
have two living wives should be dis
regarded as, Christian leaders. The
public would be justified in the sight
of God in withholding their support
from such men, and the voice Of the
righteous Is the voice of God. AS
soon as the better class Of citizens
and Christians denounce these out
RACES; so soon will the church take
its place as the greatest promoter OF
Christianity and civilization in our
land; but If the church covers up the
scoundrels, how much better Is the
church than the world?
In conclusion, we say stand for
the pure Christian church and
against the immoral wrecks of the
church.
Yours for God and the church and
race, REV. T. II. TYSON.

IAN Unwieldly Name"

Editor Independent: Your issue of
February is at hand. 1t was to be
expected that objections would be
raised against a new political party
and new name. Conservatism always
objects to advancement. There are
always difficulties in the way of any
progressive movement.
Before we can elect a president We
expect to gain control of many states.
and have legislation to suit the de-
mands and the necessities of the peo-
pie. What ] suggest is peoples par
ty. This is the initial work. aud the
members of the peoples party need
not change their designation to CO.
operate in this movement. and ought
to encourage 1t instead of fighting it.
My thought is to maintain the In
tegrity Of each party.
The name of the peoples party may
be fixture in our language, but on
Its present basis and voting capacity
1t will never become a fixture in the
control of this government If you
cannot draw voters from the demo-
cratic ana republican parties sufficient
to carry the elections without ques-
ton. you will never accomplish any
thing.
This, II seems 10 me, is evident on
the very face of the situation. There
Is no comparison between the early
Christian and the populist party.
That was religious movement. This
Is social and political.
A better comparison Is this AZ the
outbreak OF the civil war OF iSfl-h
there were FIVE political parties. There
were the Douglas democrats. Tho

Everett men. the old line aboltionIsts

night"
Perhaps it was well We did loaf a
little after our work was fin1she0-it
saved a human life without doubt, un-
less the man dies yet as the result OF
his injuries. 1t must nave been the
hand of fate that directed us.
Just as we were debating whether
to go to bed and catch few cat maps
before going out on the morning
train, we heard a terrific crash in the
hall. 1t sounded as if some person
had fallen through a skylight. In
reality large, heavy man had fallen
down at least one fight of stairs
possibly two-and was lying in an UNI
conscious condition. DR.. Burdick,
with that seeming elaboration which
marks the quick work Of the skilled
surgeon, soon brought him to-" as we
laymen say. 1t was a def piece OF

before that, the nan would very like

which could no longer be withheld
have been reluctantly granted. Spe-
cial privileges and vested rights have
always yielded as last resort.
The famous document known as
Magma Charta," the great charter of
English liberty, was the result of
compulsion by the barOns. When
King John was asked to sign the
charter he refused, and endeavored to
oppose force with force, but finding
his banners almost deserted. finally
consented to hold a conference and
on the 18th of June, 1915, a meeting
was held at Runeymedc. Here the
King was Obliged to sign the charter,
granting TO the people that which he
could no longer withhold.
The codifcation of Roman law by
Justin, the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, the emancipation of the slave
traffic here and elsewhere, with the
present labor reform movement, are
each and all striking illustrations Of
that ever active guest Of the human
mind. for its very own, it's lnalienab BILE

sentative meaning, not separate uni

From the time God spoke to the

| in the north Of some democrats and
| intense abolitionists with most of the
southern people in favor of secession.
All others fell in line for the Union.
There was a compromise. TIE aboli-
tionists said, "A half loaf is better
than none. so we will Join in for the
non-extension of slavery. Tie deH-
ocrats said, Prefix the word Union
| to your party name, and we will come
in under the word UnIoL." This was
done; and in effect new party was
formed called the Union republican
party. And it was this that saved the
Union.
No sacrifice of principle was made.
1t is all buncombe to say that the re-
publican party saved the Union. 1t
was the coalition of the four parties
that maintained the integrity of our
national government. And this is the
only possible way in which We can
possibly bring about the changes we
desire in the legislative, judicial and
executive departments of this civic
| government This is evident. it seems
TO ME, to the simplest comprehension.
Whats in a name" Much every
way. 1t is poetical to say, "A rose
| by any other name will smell as
sweet" This Is true. But we do not
make roses, yet We do make political
parties, and herein lies the difference
between the works of nature and poll
| tics. There IS talismanic power in
a name. The ancients knew this and
so gave significance to all their names.
There is a vast difference between
the terms SCALE" and gent" be-
tween pop and rep"
The length Of the name is not an
Objectionable feature, necessarily. P.
D. r. is not tedious The Peoples
Democratic Republican Party has but
five words. Compare it with many
Other appellations, as '"The American
/ Sunday School Union" '"rhe Ameri-
can Tract Society," "Tne Young Peo-
pies Society Of Christian Endeavor,"
"Thet Methodist Episcopal Sunday
School Union etc. and our sugges-
ton does not suffer in compal ison.
If we are going to follow Mark Han
mas political philosophy as to name,
why not adopt some Of his other va
carries? Why stop on a mere name?
If We are going to "let we'll enough
alone :" let us stop right here, save
our money, time and labor, and just
/ let things drift. There is no sense in
1 keeping up fight for nothing
4 1t ought to be palpsble to the COM
monest comprehension that the pop
ulist party, in its present attitude, ssan
1 never gain control of this government.
4 We must assume a basis that will at
i tract the masses, and defy the most
ytsopposition. Tt is no small thing.
Those, who have studied the SITUATION
know the difficulties in the way. Or
! ganization, education, patience, per-
sistenee, watc'fnlness, wisdom, and
i the utmost discretion are necessary TO
win the day. It is no trifi,ng task.
