The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-04-06

''In all quarters of the state ministers
seem to have utterly abandoned the
preaching Of the gospel and taken to
delivering lectures to public officials
and seeking to secure the backing of
statutes for their sectarian ideas of
the social and moral life of the people.
1t is our humble opinion that while the
ministers ought to have the same inter
est in popular government as other peo-
pie, especially business men who have
long resided in their own towns and
cities, they should not insist on die
tating to the rest of the local popula-
tion what they should have. Clerical
domination is about as hateful as it
ever was when the church and state
were more closely linked together"
The above was undoubtedly inspired
by the ministers going to see Mayor
Badger about Sunday closing. Seeing
that their visit has resulted in the Gov
ernor's announcement, printed last
week, we look for louder wall than
ever from the News next time.
The next anti-clerical utterance is as
follows:
eve believe that preacher has
about the same right to an opinion as
to how the state ought to be governed
and what the people ought to have as
other people, but we fail to understand
why it is that they insist they are right
and all others are wrong. 1t seems to
be case of the People VS.. the Ministers.
If the people are let alone they can be
expected to do about what is right any
how. If the people are not to be trusted
certain it is that they do not want the
preachers to be elected their guardians
in matters social and moral"
Inasmuch as the ministers are uni
formly sustained in their present moral
attitude by the people, it does not seem
as if they had been assuming too much
Righteousness 1t is very decidedly
case of like people, like priest"
The third and last yelp of the News
at the preachers is rather feeble one,
as follows:
cit is barely possible that if the min
listers of the state would put little
more of the gospel of love in their dis
courses and cut out the hate they are
preaching against public officials, as
we'll as measures that do not meet their
approval there would not be the appar-
ent need of so much chatter about Sun
day laws and law enforcement in gen
eral.'

How foolish it is to expect officers

School nntas.

The first program was given by Litera
ry Societies Friday afternoon. The two
societies combined and rendered pro-
gram of unusual merit for the first of
the year. Readings were given by Mabel
French, Clara Morris, Mary Floyd, Ray
Trenoweth and Olive hampshire. The
essays by Laura Ayers, on "a Trip to
England" by Roy Campbell on Min
ing" and an original story by Gertrude
Flaherty proved to be very Interestingly
written productions. The debate was
on the question, "Is Foot Ball Beneficial
to the Health of the Players?" John
Jenkins and Harold Shuck persuaded
the judges that it is. Harry Garlick and
Walter Greaves were quite certain it Is
not and they found many in their audi
ence in sympathy with their view. The
program was frightened in number of
places by songs by the school and solo
by Gertrude Morgan. Mary Slattery
showed ability as critic n some very
apt comments on the different numbers
That the Central City High school
has alumni who are very much awake
and interested in its work was shown by
the presence and interesting talks of
Mrs McFarlane and MIR. Withrow. At
the close of his remarks Mr. Withrow
presented to the societies a handsome
loving cup" This cup is trophy pur-
chased by the Alumni Association to be
contested for each year by the societies.
The contests will be under the manage
ment of the association. The exact
terms have not yet been arranged but
are understood to be such as will pro-
mote excellence in original production
and public speaking.
Other visitors present were Mrs. Lib
bic Williams, Mrs. Shuck, Mrs. French.
Mrs. Swaggart, Mrs. Lake, Mrs. G. W

good story of himself and how he came
near missing train in Chicago The
company was en- route from South Bend
Ind, to Joliet, ILL., They changed cars
| at the Polk street station and had lust
two hours to lay over in Chicago, SO
Marion took advantage of the lay-over
and hustled up town to purchase IL few
articles in the line of wearing apparel
among which was pair OF shoes. He
strolled along, forgetting all about his
train when all of sudden he though
OF the time. He was now too far from
the station to walk and catch his train,
so he hailed a cab which Marron claims
did duty in Washington's days. He told
the cabby they had just ten minutes to
reach the Polk street station and jumped
into the cab. The driver gave the horse
whack and away they went. Marron's
"Si5ho anu Iue 5uuuen SJafG CT the
horse caused the bottom of the anti
quated cab to fall ous, and there was
Marion running for dear life inside the
frame of the cab. He stuck to it bravely |
until they turned into side street which |
was paved with cobble stones. Marion
conld stand it no longerl Shouting to the |
driver he said: "Please drive a little
slower, will you? have on new pair of /
Shoes"
The cabby turned to Marion with
look upon his hardened face that would |
freeze custard and saidl well, what has
your new shoes got to do with my driv-
ing fast?"
Marron replied: Well, when you start
ed this boat the bottom fell out and | |
have been running ever since"
He caught the train.
