has taken little stock Ia the newspap-
er stories about the Presidents att
titude; it wanted TO be shown that
there was any danger Now that the
evidence has been presented, there ap-
pears little room for doubt as to what
Roosevelt win do. Under such cir
cumstances, more blame would attach
to the democratic party for keeping a
pledge than for breaking it in the high
er interest Of statehood; no reasona-
Bile man would demand the carrying
out the pledge if thereby we might
lose statehood. But the people have

church gave one Of their most success
ful socials last night in the pariors
Of the church. It was largely attended
over one hundred being present. A.
ter short program Of music, etc, the
entire company went to the parIors

gagged in in which those who had
brought pictures took part. About
forty had brought baby pictures Of

Miss Ruth Yale the least. The En-

CHRISTIANITY AND CHURCHIsM

Sunday again And this great NOR
al and religious illuminator wouldn't
feel that it had discharged the solemn
responsibility resting upon it as
"moulder of public opinion" if it did
not seek to draw the minds of the
thousands Of anxious readers, who
look TO it for spiritual nourishment,
to the contemplation Of high and holy
things.
The text today will be from the
first or second chapter Of the big
church Bible Of common-sense, just
as many verses as YOU want. "Christ
ianity and Churchism' is the theme
If you will permit the coinage Of the
latter term.
Christianity is Just the religion
taught by Christ; it is embodied in his
own words as recorded in the book
called the New Testament. The prin-
ciples Of this religion are very simple,
so plain that ''wayfaring man tho
fool need not err therein" They
are expressed in the form Of plain,
direct statements and illustrated with
smile and alegory. Anybody who
cares to study them readily discov-
ers that they furnish an easy guide
to a righteous life, and anybody who
lives according to them is a Christ
ian. It's the living Of them Of course
that is the important thing, not the
mere profession Of them.
Very simple. isn't it? Yes, it was
very simple at first with the primi-
tive Christians, till men began to
to philosophize and in the course Of
time invented theology and then
complexity arose. Aftelwhile arose
so much difference Of opinion as to
what Christ really meant by what
he said and what somebody else meant
by what He did and didn't
say and what somebody else
said He said, That divisions
AMONG his followers arose and
then sects and denominations came in
to fashion. Each Of these claimed to
have the only correct view as to
doctrines on the Bible and SO Jealous
did each become in promoting it's own
particular brand Of Christianity, that
frequently the real spirit Of the rel
igion was lost in acrimonious eontfo-
versy, and it was considered as great
a victory for the cause to win an adj
herent from another sect as to rescue
a sinner from the bonds Of iniquity,s
which was the real object Of the en-
tire movement.
Happily in these better days, the
fierce fires Of demonstrationalism
have somewhat abated, even If not
wholly died out, and with the free
dom Of thought that is accorded ev-
eryone, it is recognized that men may
differ in their opinions on great va

CRl ICISm OF OFFICIALS

unjust criticism of upright, con-
scientious officials probably does as
much to demoralize the government
of a city or state, as the active sup
port often given to political trickst-
ers or to men Of questionable reputa-
tions. -Times-Journal.
The point made by the Times-Jour-
nal is well taken. Indiscriminate
criticism Of officials, good and bad,
is harmful. It tickles the corrupt
Officer, when The clean, conscientious
man is denounced, and it has tend
eney to discredit the entire effort to
weed out wrong doers.
Criticism is proper and useful even
10 the good officer, but it should be
done in the right spirit. The con-
scientious official viii appreciate in
.sliiGs..:lt criticism criticism the kind
Ahat will show him where he makes
mistakes and point him to the better
way No officer is above criticism
and most Of them will be benefited
by the counsel Of their constituents.
The Express believes that press and
people should De perfectly free in
criticising officials, but it is one
thing to call man CRATER, thief,
incompetent" and the like, and quite
another thing to pass a sane judge
ment upon a mans official acts. 1t
is more Of the latter kind of criticism
that is needed.

JUST A MATTER or TASTE.


Brother Kayser Of the Journal
thinks the Express has the dumps
And he says We are getting ''fn-
icky."
The grounds for this serious in
dictment by Brother Kayser was COM
ment OF the Express upon an alleged
show that appeared at the opera
house, in which our dramatic critic
touched up the company for failure
to produce a bunch Of pretty chorus
girls, as advertised
Whereupon Brother Kayser's chiv-
alric nature causes him to resent this
reflection upon the ladies.
Well, maybe they were pretty. If
Brother Kayser says they were,
motion will be in order to make this
opinion unanimous, for who would
have the temerity to question the ver
dict OF so eminent authority on fe-
male loveliness?
After all, it's matter Of taste, as.
the old lady said, but perhaps from
his position in the "bald head row."
Brother Kayser had superior point
Of view and that reminds us Of an
ancient minstrel gag:
"Did you 60 to the show, Sambo"
Il suttinly did, an dem gals sho
war purity"
Didn't you see the paint on their
faces?'
"Oh hush up, man, YOU don't spose
I paid any tention to their faces, does
you?e
