THE CHURCH POLITICIAN.

THE CHURCH POLITICIAN.
Charity and Children.
Nothing is more contemplate than to
see man or his friends pulling for office
on the ground that he belongs to some
particular church that happens TO be
strong where the votes are needed.
The Statesville Landmark, which is
much given to making sensible observa-
tions, has the following in recent issue:
The Landmark never concerns itself
about what church man elongs 10
provided the man is all right, for we
know by experience and observation
that there are some mighty sorry white
folks. as well as good folks, in all
churches, and the mere fact of church
membership counts little of itself. In
fact we always suspect man VINO So
licits support for anything on the
ground that he is member OF some
particular church.
This is well said. Some people bank
nightly on the figure their churches cut
in politics, but that is not the sphere in
which the churches do their work. A
good Baptist. and one of the wisest men
We ever knew, used to say that the small
number OF Baptists who have held the
higher offices in North Carolina is the
highest compliment that could be paid the
denomination, and yet it sets some small
men wild if a Baptist happens to get
elected to some little office. The same
thing is true of others, but, to the credit
of our folks be it said, they have not been
chronic office-seekers. The Lord forbid
they ever shall become office-seekers
For our part, we endorse the sentiment
of the Landmark and repeat that man
discredits himself who goes about trying
to lift himself into some political office
through his church. 1t is a good sign
that he is too small potato to fill any
fofice We hope the terms Baptist Gov
ernor,' Presbyterian Judge Methodist
Senator" and such like sayings will fall
into disuse, or they indicate a narrow
spirit and small mind

THE SOUTH LOVED HIM.

The love of the people of the South is
beng poured out in the remembrances of
the gallant Gordon, who has passed over
the river to join the hosts of the grey who
preceded him into the unknown.
He wa sa leader whom the South loved,
for nobly he did service in those trying
days from 81 to 60, leading the men under
him as CALAMITY and bravely as did the
knights of old.
And the people Of Georgia loved General
Gordon, not alone for his life during the
war, but for that which he has done since
the war. He had their respect, but more
than this, he had their love.
Georgia is sad because of his death. So

A LAWLESS MIND.

A student of Rooseveltism is Henry
Loomis Nelson, of the Boston Herald,
who in his study of the present occupant
of the White House declares that Roose-
welt has lawless mind. Here is how he
discusses the President:
He does not posses the faintest con-
ception of the great principles of civil lib
erty which are at the basis of govern
ment here and in England, and which have
made the individual a free citizen. For
example, he does not know what due pro-
cess of law means and would determine
charges against d citizen after the fash
ion of the Car of Russia. He does not
know what free speech signifies, and
holds that those wro oppose any of the
jingo-traitors, and he believes that they
ought to be suppressed This is rough
way of indicating what mean by saying
that Mr.. Roosevelt has lawless mind. /
mean that his mind lacks reverence for
the fundamental principles of law, for the
majesty of the law in which he does not
believe las well as of that law which has
his approval. and for the orderly processes
of the tribunals of law. This vice is
common one, common to those who act
from impulse and are not instructed in the
lg history of freedom, and because it is
nmon it is the more essential that those
o have to do with the execution and in
probation of law should feel that venr-
on for those ancient privileges which

to ask the Legislature of this year for

We most respectfully refer the editors

Writing of the troubles of New York

ture Of 1904 should signalize itself by the
enactment of the long deferred and sorely
needed bill amending the libel law so as
to prevent predatory attacks upon rep
utable newspapers through settlement
suits To this suggestion we give q
hearty second The necessity for such an
amendment has been repeatedly urged in
these columns, and that necessity has
never been more apparent than it is to-
day. The law as it stands constantly
