Violation of Law.

Nashville, Tenn, June 3d.
From a thousand pulpits in Ten.
nessee to-day invectives were hurl-
ed upon the open saloon, and the
great campaign was started which
will be waged until the next Legis-
lature is chosen, to make Tennes-
see a saloOnless state. To-day was
the celebration of STAINLESS Flag
day, and reports from over the
state indicate that approximately
100, 900 citizens were present at
the temperance rallies.
At Nashville a vas; audience,
which filled the great Riman Audi.
torium, listened to Senator +. w.
Carmack deliver a powerful phillip
ic against whiskey. He was wide
~ cheered when he predicted that
the "time was near when men. not
now young. would live TO see the
day when there would not be a sa-
loon in any land where men go to
church and children to school,"
The rally in Tennessee to-day
means that determined effort will
be made 10 drive the saloons out OF
Nashville. Memphis and Chatta-
nooga, the only three cities in the
state where they operate. Within
the last six years they have been
driven out of 400 cities aud towns
In Tennessee. and Knoxville,
lClarksville. Bristol. Jackson and
Columbia knocked them out within
the last few months. The next
two years, it is predicted, will see
Tennessee a saloonless state.

pernicious meddling, by the whisky
interests. in the politics Of the state

Iation Of the law.

There is a growing suspicion
over the country that the green
bug is a myth and the green bug
scare was originated and sedu-
lousy fomented for purely specu.
lative purposes, says the Clinton
Democrat. We would not so
much object to dollar wheat if the
wheat wOs in the hands OF the
farmer, but the grain spectators
manage to bear the market when
the grain is in the farmers's hands,
and only when he has parted from
it do we find green bugs, rust and
weather conditions all conspiring
to make the cereal stored in eleva-
tors more valuable.

Foolish, Indeed.

The MESSAGE reproduces the fol-
lowing found in last weeks Far
Der Forum. II contains some
good thought for Christian and
non Christian alike;
Laddonia, Mo-, June %, 1907.
We came across the following in
last weeks Forum and it struck
us very forcibly as a great truth
and that it should no. be passed
over lightly;
A consolidation has been eff
fected between the two Presbyte-
rian church organizations at Van
dalia. The property of the old
church has been sold and one half
the proceeds, $413.95, turned over
to the remaining organization.
The Methodists should do the
same. The fool idea Of two Or
CARNATIONS Of almost identical
creed striving side by side in q
small towa should have been
abandonded long ago, and church
dignitaries should not longer hest
tate to act in that direction"
We think it is bad enough in
cities to have two organizations of
Methodists. but in small towns
where each one can barely exist
it seems foolish, indeed. Here in
our little town we find the two
churches striving along for exist.
ence, trying to sustain two leagues,
two preachers and their families,
and we fail to find wherein the
least Christian principles differ.
In union there is strength, and
we certainly believe it would give
strength to this already great de.
nomination. There are, perhaps,
a few Methodists who want no
union, and il may be they feel an
unchrisiianlike spirit to the other
church, bat they. like angels Wis
its. are few aud far between. Time
is.a good teacher, indeed il is the
best. and we will ali learn sooner
or later that this great Christian
body has outgrown this IittIeness
Of division, that IL there was ever
any use Of II, its use has passed
away. and that Christian work and
Christian ideas have gone so high

CHAMP CLARK.
Lauds The Bib1e-Bry-
an the Orator of This
Generation.

The Globe Democrat last Mon
day contained the following:
Several hundred men, women
aud children gathered at Mar
shall's grove yesterday to celebrate
the clearing of the debt of the Ma.
plewood Christian church, the.
fual payment of $500 having
been made last week, and also to
commemorate the anniversary of
the arrival of Rev. Frederick A.
Mayhall, the pastor of the church,
who preached his first sermon
there just n year ago. An excel
lent program of music ard ora
tory was enjoyed turnout the day,
the fine weather helping the cele-
bration considerably.
The feature Of the day was the
address made by Congressman
Champ Clark, who came all the
way from eastern Iowa to be pres
ent at the exercises. Speeches
were also made by the Rev. John
l.. Brandt aud Mr.. Mayhall, the
pastor of the church. Music was
provided by an orchestra composed
of local talent.
The Bible as a Literary Mas
terpiece" was the subject of Con-
gresham Clark's remarks. His
address was filed with anecdotes,
humorous sides aud dry hum or
that kept his hearers in a pleasant
mood from beginning to end, altho
the speech consumed nearly two
hours. Mr.. Clark discussed the
Bible from a purely literary stand
point without any admixture OF
the religious element. He COM
pared the st. James Version"
with the great masterpieces of the
world aud showed where in nearly
every case an author had tried to
paraphrase the Book of Ages"
had universally failed in his ef-
fort. The Bible, he declared. was
the fountain of all literary effort
aud without its assistance no mas
terpieees could be produced.
The speaker recommended the
Bible as q great aid to orators as
well as literary people. Webster,
Clay. Calhoun and other famous
orators, he declared, were deep
students Of the Bible and the first
named on several occasions at
tributed his great reputation to
his intimacy with the Good Book.
Mr.. Clark stated that in his
opinion Bryan was the greatest
orator of the generation, and
while he had made no speeches Of
the magnitude that Daniel Webster
had. the speaker had no hesitation
in placing him in the same Gle IS
with the latter. Webster, Clay
and Blaine, the greatest statesmen
of their time, had worked years
for the presidency and failed, re-
marked the speaker. and he init
mated rather strongly that the
great commoner would finally find
himself in the same FIX. Not for.
getting the Republican party, Mr.
Clark stated that President Roose-
welt knew more about things than
any man he had ever met. He
also placed the executive IN the
same class with Adams, jefferson
aud Garfield, the most enlightened
aud scholarly trio in the whole
list Of presidents.
