THE BIBLE AS A SOCIAL FORCE

THE BIBLE AS A SOCIAL FORCE.
Leslie's Weekly: The late Grover
Cleveland said that the book which
he read oftenest was the Bible. Quo
tations from it are frequent in his
written and spoken words. To far
larger extent than the average per-
son supposes, the Bible Is powerful
force in the worlds political and
social affairs. In his address III the
Chicago convention, favoring Con-
gresham Sherman for the republican
candidacy for Vice-president, Speaker
Cannon made a quotation from the
scriptures The ssboy Absa1om.' has
often figured in Mr.. Bryanss political
SMILES. The familiarity Of GARFIELD
and Mckinley with the Bible was Of
ten mentioned during their lifetime,
I but especially at their inauguration,
The references to the Bible in the adj
dresses Of Calhoun, Benton, and
Webster, especially o fWebster, are
many. Who of the schoolboys Of
forty or fifty years ago does not re-
member Webster's magnificent pero-
ration In his reply to Hayne, In his
!" liberty inion-now- and forever
one-and -insep arable'' passage, which
opens thus. When my eyes shall be
turned to behold for the last time the
sun In heaven? A more familiar
passage OF the same tenor is that in
Gardeld's short speech in Wall street
when the news Of Lincoln,s assassi-
nation was flashed across the coun-
try: ellow-citizens, clouds and
darkness are round about Him. His
pavilion. is dark waters and thick
clouds Of the skies. Justice and judg-
ment are the establishment Of His
throne. Mercy and truth shall 90 be-
fore His face. Fellow-citizens, God
reigns, and the government at wash
ington still lives.'

ment that does not seek increasingly to foster
it's farming interests. The prosperity of
country is dependent upon it's agriculture
Mining and manufacturing, commerce and
transportation, all the wheels of industry re-
fuse to run when agricultural conditions Ian
guish. With the tremendous strides made in
other departments Of labor, the farm cannot
afford to stand still or to employ antiquated
methods. Hand and brain must be inteli-
gently directed that the products Of the
ground may be abundant and profitable. The
treatment Of the soil should be matter Of
careful study IF allowed to run down, effort
applied to its cultivation is little more than
time misspent It's preservation and up-build-
ing require as diligent concern as the care
and improvement Of stock, or as the proper
cultivation of the crops that grow.
All Of which goes to prove that our broad
est minded men and best thinkers, men whose
hearts are in the right place, and who look
upon farming as the great calling it really is,
still see but one side of it, the producing side.
What is said is good and true, but it goes only
half far enough. The fertility of the lands
must be preserved or there will come time
when people will get hungry. The most ap-
proved system Of cultivation must be adopt
ed and the latest improved implements and
machinery employed or farmers will grope in
the shadows Of the forgotten years while ev-
erybOdy else is working in the sunlight of
progress. But two bushels Of grain or two
bales Of cotton are not always worth twice
as much as one. Profitable farming depends
upon profitable marketing, and calls loudly
for attention to the selling side of farming,
the side that until very recent years has been
wholly ignored. While the State and the ma
ton are very properly adopting measures to
foster and encourage farming, the part of
farming upon which the income depends should
not be neglected. Helping farmers to raise
big crops, only to become the spoil Of greedy
speculation, is like leading flock Of sheep
into rich pasture while greedy wolves are
protected in every adjacent thicket, to rush
and prey upon the flock whenever there is
drop Of blood more than is required to sustain
life. The best service government could rem
der the flock is to drive out the wolves, or
at least to extract their fangs.
But farmers are not so helpless as the sheep
They can protect themselves if they will. Their
blood is their own, and so is their sweat, and
the wolves cannot get it unless it is voluntar-
lily surrendered. Cooperation and controlled
marketing make wall the wolves can neither
crawl through nor climb over-Up-to-Date

PRESIDENT
GOMPERS
Declares in Open Convention That
tic Will Go to Jail BEFORE He
Will Pay Fine in Contempt Pro-
ceedingS.

President Samuel GompcrS at the
afternoon session Monday for the
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor declared that if
he were found guilty and lincd in
the contempt proceedings against
him at Washington, he would go
to Jail before he would pay his fine
or before he would allow the tcder-
atlon to pay any fine for him.
lhlS statement was made by Mr..
GomperS during the discussion Of
the report Of the committee on the
trcaSurer'S report. The committee
recommended that immeuiately
following the adjournment of the
convention the executive com
mittce shall take up the PROPOSE
ton Of placing the funds where
they may beIcmovcd from danger
of attachment. The report
brought out Il political discussion
i'll which several members declared
themselves in favor of the for
nation of an independent political
party. Treasurer John d. len
non said he had discussed the
matter of safeguarding the funds
with good attorneys and they all
agreed that ii was impossible
without resulting at some time i'll
perjury by some persons.
