A Railroad Deal.

send Ballinger into the mayors office,
as postmaster and Sam Piles to the
United States senate, is nothing more
or less than railroad deal They fur
Their assert that George Stevenson, the
the greater part Of last week in the
city, is in a gerat measure responsible
for the deal
Virtually all those opposed to the
candidacy of Judge Ballinger have ex-
pressed the hope that state politics
will not be drawn into the city fight,
and yet when questioned along that
line they all admit. reluctantly. that
it looks as if the state issues would
play most prominent part.
While many will regret it. if the
state fight is drawn into the city cam
paign. it is said that there is little else
for Gov. Mcbride to do His friends
and supporters in this city assert that
even should he show his hand in this
city in the BSllinger-P Parry squabble.
he would not be any worse off in
King county than he is now. even
should he meet with defeat. On the
other hand, it is argued. if the Nc
Bride forces enter into he city fight
and win the naming of a mayor and
chief of police, it will strengthen their
fences no little for the fall elections.
Those politicians who think they
have the best interests of King county
at heart. say that the entire Ballnger
move is big play into the hands of
the railroads. They say the local pol
iticians who assisted George Stevenson
in arranging the deal, are willing to
sacrifice the only congressional repre-
sentative King county has in order to
accomplish their ends.

To CONSIDER PROBLEM
GENERAL METHODIST CONFER
ENCE AT LOS ANGELES DIS
CUSSlNG MANY QUESTIONS.
Principal Ones Are in Reference to
Theater- Going and Card Playing
by Church Members.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Are theater-
going. dancing and card-playing COM
patible with truly Christian life?
This is a question which has long vex-
ed authorities Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and which will be sub
mitted to the general conference at
Los Angeles next May for settlement.
If the sentiment prevailing in New
York city We're to dominate the con-
ference. there would be no doubt as
to the issue, but in the rural commu-
mites there is still strong feeling in
favor of retiring from the church
those who indulge in what are termed
worldly amusements. When the OPP
posing forces are lined up it will be
practically the city delegates against
those from the country.
Clergy Favor Repeal.
AS far as can be determined by in
terviews with prominent Methodists
the clergy of New York are quite as
much in favor Of repeating the 'amuse
ment paragraph as the members of
their churches, although in most in
stances they are c;:reful to state that
this does not indicate that they ap-
prove Of the amusements forbidden
but that they disapprOve Of such an
arbitrary and unfair ruling on the
subject.
Said Rev DR.. Willis P. Odell. pas
tor of Calvary Methodist Episcopal
church.
The rule forbiddng certain forms
OF amusement or diversion does not
belong to the rules laid down by John
Wesley, and regarded as binding by
the church. 1t is only sort of by
law. 1t pretends to make catalogue
Of things that must not be done, and
yet it is wofully incomplete. For in
stance, horse racing and circuses are
included and bull fights and cock
fighting are not. A church member
might thus keep this rule and evade
the law which laid the whole matter on
the individual conscience.
The Wesleyan rule forbids buying
or selling spirituous liquors or drink
ing them, unless in cases of extreme
necessity: the putting on of gold or
costly apparel; the singing those songs
or reading those books which do not
tend to the knowledge or love of God:
laying up treasures upon earth and
borrowing without probability 'of
paying"

This rule was adopted by the gen.
served at that time that certain
amusements. such as dancing. theater-
going and gaming, We're gaining fast
hold on the young people. The Meth
matter in hand, and paragraph 24S
was evolved as the best judgment Of
the conference after mature dellbera-
ton. Will anyone say that the moral
tone of the theater is more elevated
today than it was in 1872, that dane
ing is less perniciOus or that games
of chance are lifted to d higher plane
of morality"
. Dr. Ballard makes no discrimination
in favor of theaters where So
called moral plays are placed on the
stage. He believes the play may teach
moral lesson, but hat he theater
itself is sinful in it's environment and
influence.
Other Opinions Disagree.
The Rev. DR.. Louis Albert Banks of
Grace Methodist Episcopal church,
said Of the amusement paragraph:
1T ought never to have been passed,
and l think there is a general senti-
ment among Methodists that the mis-
chief ought to be undOne."
The Rev. DR.. Wallace McMullen of
the Madison Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal church belongs to the younger
generate of preachers and has a diff
ferent outlook on life.
RI. McMullen believes it would re-
lieve the church OF an incubus from
which it has greatly suffered if the
rule were rescinded.< 1T will not mark
a change of sentiment only a change
Of method" he asserted.
Can't Be Enforced.
At the preachers meeting the other
day the Rev. j. A. Hensey of Pater-
son, n. j., spoke in favor of striking
out the mooted para graph, saying that
such paragraph, was not only OPP
posed to the spirit of the times, but
that it never is and never can be en-
forced. He declared that he did not
favor the prohibited amusements, but
that be urged the repeal of the amend
ment on the grounds of reasonableness
and consistency.
