MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS.

So many of our friends have written
10 us extend'ng congrat1.' ions an
expressing their sincere approval OF
the improved appearance of the Blade
and we now congratulate cur readers
upon the fact that We have been able
to make this desired change. y ragged
publication is as exasperating to the
publisher as to the reader, and there
may be abundant rejoicing at both
ends of the line. In fact we will con-
tinue to rejoice together and make the
pleasure more extended by making
each succeeding issue of the Blade
better than it's predecessor as far as we
can.
In this issue we have endeavored
to give a selection of the brief mes
sages of cheer sent to the Blade Office
since the change was made. These
will indicate the trend OF opinion.
Remember our columns are open to all
and we desire that every subscriber
shall give his or her opinion on the sub
ject: To do this yourself encourages
others to follow your example and this
is the forum of the people.
Future success will depend largely
Blue-grass blade., 1908-02-02
BLUE GRASS BLADE.

upon the quality and quantity of the
reading matter the Blade has TO offer
To enable our readers to better appre-
ciate this fact, we desire now to I'M
press upon their minds that articles
will appear from time to time in the
Blade from such skillful writer's as
Mrs. Henry, DR.. Wilson, Harriet Nj.
Close, John +. Clarke, DR.. Il. j.
Bowles, and we are promised a similar
favor from Nj. Grier Kidder. Add to
these the writings of +. Lewis, Susan
Peck, Claiming Severance, and others,
we have an array OF talent that any
journal could be proud of.
The next thing is to keep it up.
This depends upon the reader and it
rests largely upon the interest he or
she will take in the paper by assisting
in extending its circulation. We are
giving larger paper and it is being
printed on far better quality OF
paper. The pictures we propose to
give cost us good sum of money
each week in order to get the plates
made. Our editorial expenses have in
creased and with all this we feel emin-
emily justified in calling upon our
friends for their continued support and
favor.

PRESBYTERIANISM
AND POLYGAMY.

One serious question with which the
church, especially the Presbyterian
branch, is at present graphing, is
the issue of the polygamous practices
of its converts in the orient.
1t is reported that the ruling, or
governing powers of the Presbyterian
denomination, has issued a decree with
which all foreign missionaries are ex-
pected to comply, to the effect, that
converted polygamists must relinquish
all wives but one or he cannot be ac-
copied into the membership OF the
Lord s elect. Could the same author
ity extend that decree so as to make 1T
applicable at home there might be just
and reasonable grounds for its en-
forcement abroad While decrying
polygamous practices in foreign lands,
ostensibly for the sake OF consistent
impressions upon the pagan, not a
word of censure or reproach is uttered
against those of the home bodies who
openly support one wife and secretly
maintain a half dozen concubines.
True, Solomon, the Lords Amounted,
the wise, the sweet bard of Israel, en-
joyd the promiscuous dalliance with
one thousand damosels of which seven
hundred were frst-class wives and
three hundred only second-class wives.
Teach the pagan polygamist to read
the bible and let him turn to Solomon,
Blue-grass blade., 1908-02-02

leu lutu Itdu dUOuI 4NOdll, dho LOe,
and Abraham, and even Moses with his
Ethiopian wife, and the missionaries
will have a devil OF time convincing
the convert that his plurality OF wives
sanctioned by age and custom IN his
own country, is In any measure con-
trary to the will of God or the teach
ings of the bible. Ii word to the
wise is sufficient, would it not be well
for the missionaries to keep the bible
out OF the hands OF their pagan con-
verts.
Aside from the religious aspect OF
the situation another problem appears.
Should the convert, III obedience to
the Presbyterian decree, give up and
abandon all his wives but one, what Is
to become of the discarded members
of the plural family, and their Off
springl Polygamy being permissible
under the Chinese law it Is also COM
pulsory that each OF the wives shall
be properly and adequately provided
for, as is the law with Mormonlsm,
and to obey the Presbyterian law
means a violation OF the written law
of the land, there comes a conflict OF
authority, which is bound to result LII
a defeat for the missionaries. Chris
tianity may assail the religion OF
pagan peoples, they may laugh at their
gods, make fun Of their idols, desc
crate their temples, but when it comes
to an interference with legal and
long established custom the
missionaries find a snag. Pagan ma
lions are not going to amend their
statute law for the convenience OF
Christian missionaries and when these
are brought in conflict the missionary
will have to hunt other fields OF opera
ton. Their presence is tolerated and
their labor for Christ permitted, just
so long as they maintain an attitude
of indifference or passive submission
to the laws that be.
1t would seem, however, that the
missionary will have hard time con-
vincing the pagan converts that 1t Is
necessary for them to give up their
superhous wives, and this will be
heightened if the convert can by some
means or another learn of the innum-
cradle crimes being committed against
women hy Christian parsons in this
country
The discussion here is not upon the
right or wrong of polygamy, rather
reference to the inconsistency OF
Christian teaching and practice, ami
pointing to another OF those lnsur-
mountable obstacles that confronts
Christian missionary enterprise abroad.

SALOONS AND PREACHERS.

Realizing the twin evils, those ele-
mentary sources from which so many
of our social ills flow, Representative
Mcknight, of the Kentucky General
Assembly, introduced resolution pro-
viding that saloon men and preachers
be prohibited from taking part in pol
itics because of their businessJga9 N
tiles. Very little more than genera
ton ago a preacher could not hold pub
lie office in Kentucky and it was be-
cause of kind and indulgent people
that they were permitted to get back
to their former status. Mcknight It's
resolution came as a result OF the effort
to eliminate saloon men from politics
because of their business and knowing
that church and saloon were business
rivals, that the church made men drunk
on religion while the saloon got them
drunk on whiskey, he felt that if one
was put out Of the politics the other
should be. In measure the Blade
agrees with him.

Paine did more for humanity in a
week than the god the Christians wor-
ship have done since Moses is said to
have led the children of Israel out OF
Egypt. The bible god inculcated and
permitted slavery. Paine toiled and
wrote for freedom. The bible god
devastated people with plague and
pestilence. Paine wrought peace with
liberty.

A Gard From Mr. GOufdin.

TO the Democratic Voters of Will
liamsburg County:
AS is we'll known the primary held
on the 25th ult. resulted in putting
Mr. John S Graham and myself In
the second primary for the third rep
resentative.
MIR Graham received more votes
than l and had two boxes come in
which were withheld until too late
for the official count, his lead would
have been increased to such an ex-
tent as to elect him, very nearly.
However, under the constitution and
rnles my name cannot be withdrawn
from the second primary.
Mr. Graham is man for whom
I have the highest regard, both per-
sonally and politically.
He is a much older man than l.,
and according to the course of ma
ture has fewer years in which to
receive honors from and serve his
countrymen.
appreciate to an extent that is
inexpressible in written language
the support given me in the election
and assure each one who honored me
with his ballot of my warmest graft
tude: yet in view of the facts above
stated, l earnestly request all my
friends and supporters to vote for
Mr. Graham at the second primary,
and TO regard my name upon the
ticket merely as a legal formality.
Respectfully,
THEO B GOURDIN.

Maybe He Would.

Bill Jones he likes to sit around
And tell what he would do
If he were only president
For just a term OF two
He'd drive the grafters from the land
And give good men show
And have an honest government.
Perhaps! Wen never know.
Were Bill Jones but a congressman.
You bet the fur would fly.
The troubles of the crooked rich
Each day would multiply.
He'd give the nations treasure bog
A chance to overflow
Ii he were there a-running things
Perhaps! Wen never know.
He wouldn't let the ship of state
Sail any way but straight:
He wouldn't make all grand reforms
Out in the lobby wait.
And every bill would have to be
Exactly on the square.
For there would be no monkey work
II only Bill were there.
It seems pity that we can't
Get statesmen of that sort
Some men of whom when they were Their,
We'd hear but good report
Bill Joneses Turk on every side,
But, really. what's the use
Since no one rises up to say.
