your virtue? Fetch it out. Put a
! price on # and name a figure. Knock
! It down to me. And the Christian
voter puts price on #. We call it
a license fee-a low license fee I'm this
Territory, a high license in Chicago
We put price upon the public virtue
and hang IT W in window OF the
city hall and hawk II I'm the city
purlieus and markets. once year
the saloonkeeper buys #. He says I
will take it off your hands. 1t is for
so much money payable every quarter,
for revenue with which to pay our
teachers, etc.
I'm a land of culture and religion
this condition ought not to be true
You say the Christian voter cannot
help it. He can. He can keep his hands
clean, and that Is why / want to speak
TO the strong element Of this city, the
strong young men. There is a theory
that there is one kind OF virtue for
the pastor and another for the legis-
lator; that man may shed his reli-
. gion when he goes into politics. He
may be as good as an angel I'm his
house or business, but he may be as
crooked as dogs hind leg in politics.
l repudiate that proposition.
"The gospel is as good for politics as
for business or the home.
There is no hope for the baId-head-
ed man to try to sell a hair-restorer
Before you try to reform your
neighbor, reform yourself.
Before you try to cleanse your poll
teal organizations, wash your hands
of any completely in wicked things.
Il would rather ascend from a mon
key than descend from the Duke OF
Anybody if by descent / am not a true
man.
While a citizen is willing to let the
revenues from a city's shame be paid
out as salaries to teachers. while the
church is at the end Of the civic pro-
cession, there IS need Of taking heed.
''If we ran the churches like they do
the saloons, would we not make things
hum? The saloonkeeDer takes an in
terest In his business. If the police
man is at the front door he opens the
side door If the policeman is at the
back door he peddles liquor I'm the al
leyway. He watches the bartenders to
see they they do not drink too much
and watches to see they they make
change He knows how each legislator
stands on the liquor question. You
never find him hurrying around shock
ed and chagrined to find that the leg
islature put a bad bin through. He
knows how every preacher prays and
votes. He's up on these things. He
sees TO it all the time, while the church
languishes I'm American politics AS
TO elections, what does a Christian man
need to do. / know that John C. Wool
ley carries himstf like son Of God
after an election. ] have TO keep my
hands clean, keen my heart pure and
my head clear The way for the Chris
tian voter to do Is to bank on this
one thing How can / go through this
election and keep myself undehled'
