WHY is 1T so?

One can readily understand that as be-
tween politics and religion the grand, old
Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Blue Grass
State, known far and wide and whose praises
are sung in all lands, is in something hotter
than tepid water, but the Blade has supreme
confidence in the liberality of her people to
prevent any such Disaster Detailing. Why is
it that men will seek to foist personal feel
ing upon communities? Is not the welfare
of the majority of higher consideration
than the personal aggrandizement of the few?
Because a man has been put in pulpit that
does not imply any undue authority reposed
in his hands. Because man has been elected
to public Office it does not mean that the peo-
pie are subject unto him and his personal
whims. Cruel religious systems both main
and poison human life. Tyrant political sys-
tens breed anarchy and revolution. Men can
not think or breathe, work nor love at their
best because of the accursed, contemptible

ON WITH THE DANCE.

Wait until trouble meets YOU on your
own doorstep and you can better appreciate
what Others have had to wrestle with. Lib
eral journals have written, from time to time
concerning the religious busybodies in other
sections of the country combining for the
purpose of forcing their quack nostrums
upon the body socia, and polite. and the
Blade has joined in the throng of di .putants
and commentators. 1t now happens that we
to have fight along similar lines right
here in Lexington and while the Blade ex-
poets to assume part in it, as far as it is
capable of so-doing, we hope for victory.
According to announcement there are three
preachers in this city who aspire to give
us the indigo Sunday about which Mrs. Henry
forcefully wrote. These are Rev. |. j.
Spencer Rev. Charles Lee Reynolds and Rev.
L. b. G. Mann. We believe they all belong
to that Campbelite denomination which has
such reputation for meddling with other
peoples business. In any event, they, with
the aid of Secretary Tom johnson of the local
Y. NJ. c. A., expect to start a crusade having
for its object, according to the announcement
made, to close up every attraction that has
peeh III inc h"pi. vi opening OH SUNDAY,
including the grocery stores
1t j. well that both sides now understand
each other, but for information, Lexington
has a number of moving picture shows which
have been giving religious attractions on
Sunday. The Passion Play, taken from
Oberamergua, with the singing of the Palms,
by Sullivan, and the Holy City, have consti-
tuted these attractions. Nothing more or
thodOx could be desired but the public were
expected to chip in dime, fifteen cents,
the price of admission in order to see these
things. As. rule they have been well pa

THE POWER OF PRAYER.

Internationally, and probably without
thought the subject, prayer has been sub
jected to rather severe test in the Com
monwealth of Kentucky and as in all other
tests, it failed Could the anticipated result
have followed the news would have been
spread broadcast and Jehovah made one more
tally on his stick.
The country knows that for the past six
week. all efforts to elect United States
Senator from Kentucky to succeed Hon. James
B. McCreary has failed and that deadlock
has been hanging over the vote of the Joint
Assembly. The democrats want to elect
former Governor ]. c. W. Beckham and the
republicans desire the election of former Gov
emor W. o. Bradley. Both are estimable
gentlemen as far their respective political
associations will admit but as matters now
stand neither can get elected. The republi-
cans are in slight minority and there are
just enough belligerent democrats to prevent
Governor Beckham from getting there. What
the result of all this balloting will be one
seems willing to make a prediction but it
has little to do with the issue desire to
touch upon. The fact remains that several
Weeks DdlotlHS Has W elect, anu dS IL
court of last resort Senator Walker, of Gov
ington, introduced resolution in that cham
Der. that the Joint Assembly be opened with
prayer for once, which, being carried, Rev.
j. U. Brown, also of Covington, performed
the ceremony
Prayer attracts but very little attention in
these practical days and when politicians
sort thereto it is sign that the sit
uation has grown desperate. Rev. Brown
prayed. He prayed that the Joint Assembly
would agree upon suitable man for the
Senate. In other words he made appeal
to the THRONE of grace that god would touch
the hearts of the legislators present and cause
them to do something they had not done and
showed no disposition to do. The outcome
was that the press dispatches made the same
old announcement of no election.
No better test could have been applied.
1t was supreme moment and United
States Senatorship hung in the balancet
Beckham stood ON one side and Bradley on
the other, each secretly hoping that if the
petition was both heard and needed it would
be granted in their favor The preacher
made mention of no particular candidate, he
simply expected results. The results were nil
but one can readily imagine the breathless
anxiety existing in the hearts of those two
lspirants for the senatorial toga when they
Blue-grass blade., 1908-02-23

tronzed and this has aroused the envy and
jealousy of the preachers. These dimes must
90 into the church. The only way to catch
even a few of them is to close up these places
of anu ement. They constitute a rival bus
mess concern to the church and the church
must have the money, to hell with the people.
Appeals have been made to the Mayor, but
that official being practical man. as we'll
a religious man. objects to the interference
long as these places of amusement are
shut out from public view and do not consti-
tute nuisance within the meaning of the
law. Receiving cold comfort the preachers
resolve war If we are to have it,
let it come, and the sooner the better for the
end of it will be defeat for the churches and
with that defeat more open town on Sun
day will follow. Orthodox repression can
not last long. When the people wake up to
the situation the church will be down and
out.
Imagine three men of the variety named
seeking to control, rule, govern and dictate
to the people. If the people did not want
these attractions they would refuse to pat
ronize them. The very fact they are well
and literally patronized while numberless
vacant seats appear in the churches is prima
facie evidence that the people desire these
amusements more than they desire the church.
Reynolds and Mann practically new-com
ers in Lexington. They have no property
interests and being itnerants they have
regard for the material welfare of the peo-
pie. Spencer does own property but his de-
sire to be heard FROM has led him into CO.
NEEDING with the other two Secretary John
son has his salary to earn but let him seek
to force this blue Sunday on the city and he
will find his institution losing in membership.
Take warning, gentlemen. Lexington does
not fear the issue and when it is all over,
the church had best look out for itself.

the idea that both the per capita

high. Of course it is real
lied that if the people want good
roads they must 20 down into

them to have to go down so deep
