Address to His Brethren NJ
Templar Conclave Held IN
Amdnlus1a.

.Andaiusia. May f2.-(Specia1)- -There
was n large attendance upon the for-
ty-ninth annual conclave OF the GRAND
Commandery. knights Tempiar OF Ala
bama. held here.
Eminent Grand Commander snyder OF
Birmingham presided over the con-
clave.
Tonight the Reverend and Eminent
Grand Prelate, Sir Stewart Mcqueen OF
Montgomery. preached sermon to the
knights.
The sermon Of Mr.. Mcousen was as
follows:
This is a remarkable and profound
saving which EcclesiaJtes. or the
Preacher, gives US. 1t recalls fa-
miiiar claim Of modern science to the
eject that everything is the conse-
ouence Of what has gone before; that
what 10 to come is bound UP In what Is
now, In word. the present Is the re-
suit of the past, the future Is but the
unfolding of that which is EMBODIED In
the present. This Is simply another
way OF saying everything is Joined TO-
gether and upon analysis we find that
whatever lies about us/is linked to past
cuases and to future results. or to put
II In short and terse form. the great
principle Of the universe-always pres
ent and always at works continuity.
As you Of course know. upon II rests
the theory Of evolution which many
are wont to regard as the supreme in
teieotual discovery Of modern times,
and as altogether new. But Ecclesiastes
expresses substantially that principle
in the words. That which hath been.
is now. and that which IL to be. hath
already been" But. we are concerned
with it..not as doctrine Of science,
but as a supremely practical truth
hearing intimately, profoundly and con-
tinuousiy upon our daily lives and
acter.
Consider first. the assertion. "That
which hath been, is now" See how the
law of continuity, which they express,
applies 10 the making of character.
Recall. also, In this connection the fact,
Mature knows no leaps" q truth which
obtains likewise the growth OF char
acter. There--as Christ Himself taught
tho law is. FIRST the blade. then the
ear. and after that. the full corn in the
ear. This 10 but another way of set
ting forth the truth that we gradually
become what we are. Achievement Of
whatever sort, the winning of power or
position the making Of character. Is
never sudden. II must always be pre-
coded by the necessary training, that
is. by the operation OF those elements
which make them. And so the present
of each one OF us Is the fruit of his
past. Back OF what we are--whether
pure or impure, lofty or lowly. noble
or ignoble-iie the causes. the forces
which made US. They have been inces-
sanity at work. and study of them
reveals our life story. The associa~
tions, the acts, the training, the think
ing, the reading. Of the past all ex-
press themselves in our present ways

constituted Pharisees' begin to lift their yellow eyes toward Heaven and to smite upon their bodies wherein hangs their white livers and cry alas. alas. alas.!!
 I wish to state to Mr. Taxpayer that I have not abondoned the pulpit, nor cast my Bible aside. I am preaching two and three times each week. Be- cause we help men to get to Heaven is no reason why we should not work to help people while here on earth. While in the pulpit work to keep the devil out Of a mans heart: in the legislature I work to keep a thief out of his pocket. And my dear Mir. Taxpayer, I don't have to ask your permission to do such work.
 And now wish to state that I did not call our county officers a "dirty dozen.o There was not dozen of them asking for a raise of salary. In the second place I do not think them dirty. I think We have splendid set Of men for county officers. I voted for them in the election. I never vote for fellow if I think he is dirty But that is only trick of "Mr. Tax payer to try to turn the officers against me But I think his effort is in vain. The boys thought they ought to be paid more money. I asked the people what they thought about it. The ma- jority of the people did not think they ought to have it. As the people elect ed them and elected me, and as the people pay the money in, 1 don't see how any honest man can blame me for letting the people decide the mat ter.
 Now, Mir. Taxpayer, let me say to you few calm, cool words. 1 was not bothering you when you putin. If you lad not smarted out and stuck your finger in the pie, you would not have been burned. If you had not acted the coward and kept hid from view when you struck at me; if you had had the backbone to have signed your name to your article, like honest white men out to do, I would have answered you in different style. Unless you can get up courage to let Us know who you are, don't think l will give you any more notice than I would a yellow cur.

 "Away Down South in the Land of Cotton is where the banks appreciate the value of advertising and up-to-date publicity methods-possibly more so than in any section of the county.

ANSWERS TAXPAYER
Representative J. L. Brown Speaks
 Plainly as to His Position

TtdiHtf d& tO f3tS Ooitott Little Rock, April = This day brings to me the thought that this is the proper time to answer some cor respondents that have been shooting ink at me through the Guard and The Journal. neither have time nor inclination to waste much ammunition shooting at such game, for after the feathers are off thier back and the quack out of their craw, there is but precious little left.
 Mir. Taxpayer in the Guard would have us know that he is not drunkard. I am glad to hear that. l am glad to find that he IS better man than thought he was. I have known some good men who, unfortunately, were whisky drinkers; and l have known some very shabby fellows who, fortu- nately, did not drink.
 Mir. Taxpayer states that he voted for me in the election, but intimates that he is now ashamed of it. Well, that makes me think Of the story of the boy that went home with girl. When they parted at the gate she said Don't tell anybody that you came home with me tonight ; 1T won't, " he said, "I'm as 'shamed of it as you arep
 He would have me stop writing dog gerel lines. We'll, Mir. Taxpayer, thank you for your deep wisdom (?) and great advice (?) but let me say thnt so long as I am dealing with a dog I think it is all right to use dog gerel.
 So if you want
 To dodge this law,
 Quit your barking
 In the straw;
 For if you don't,
 It's sure to follow,
 I'll kick you hard,
 And make you holler.
 The folks all know
 When get your scalp
 They know the hit dog
 By his yelp.
 MT. Taxpayer says, "Get your old Bible out of your saddle-pockets where it is temporarily laid aside while you are engaged in more weighty matters. ' This shows that Mr. Taxpayer does not want a preacher to help make the laws that govern our state.
 Who are the fellows that kick against preachers in politics?
 It is the men who oppose moral Legislation. Such men will ofttimes vote to put drnnkard in office. Why? because they can influence him with & jug of whisky to work for most any kind of law they want. Sometimes they claim it is their deep interest in religion in general, and in preachers in particular, that makes them oppose preachers running for office. But if you will only think for moment, there is not one out of three of such men that ever go to church or help pay the preacher. The preacher can blow corn, cut saw-logs, pick cotton, or do most any kind of manual la Dor, and they make no note of it. But let the preacher come out for office or be elected to office then these "self-

Increase OF divorce In the United
States cannot be attributed 10 IT, In
fluence Of aliens. It must be recog-
n!zed as ona OF the developments OF
national life for which the nativeborn
American must accept responsibility.
II statistics are 10 be believed. In
the February Dclineator. Charles A..
Ellwood. professor Of sociology. Uni.
verslty Of Missouri. says:
Divorce Is not an evil which the for
dgn-born and the negro have brought
10 US, for It especially characterizes
the native white. that Is. the pre-emi'
nently American element in the. popu'
ton. |. Is about twice. as high
among the native whites as among the
foreiEn-horn. This leads one to sus-
pect that divorce has something to do
with the !ndivIdualism Of the Ameri.
can people. the tendency among US for
each, one to do as he pleases, to be q
| law unto himself. This Is borne out
by, the FACT that. IN those sections Of
Ile country IN which 1ndividualism Is
most highly developed. the divorce
rate Is highest, namely, In New Eng
land and tho Western States. It Is
borne out also By the fact that divorce
Is more tnan four times as common
among Pedestrians as among Catho-
lies. The Protestant element In the
population Is the Slement in which In.
dlrldualism Is more highly developed;
besides. the Roman Catholic Church
refused to sanction absolute divorce
upon any ground.
Finally, twothrds OF all divorces
are granted upon demand OF the wife.
This suggests tina: thu. standards OF
morality OF the male element Of the
population are not what they should
be- and that husbands too often give
ground for divorce by immoral con.
duct. Higher standards OF morality
are necessary as civilization advances.
and conduct which the wife overlook.
cd in the husband half-ccntury ago,
or bore in silence. now becomes a
ground for divorce. 81.
This last statement suggests anoth.
or cause for increasing divorce in this
country. and that IL the emancipation
of woman. Woman mas now almost
equal rights with man. and has
achieved her economic. intellectual
and moral MS we'll as legal independ.
ence OF man. This has been a good
thing In Itself. but many women have
used their fNedom to emphasize their
rights rather than their duties. and
consequently have rendered the family
life less stable. In so far as the move
ment for "womans rights" has been
simply an expression OF growing lndi'
yIdualism or selhshness on the part OF
our women. 1t has tended. like MI in.
dividualIsm. TO destroy the home.
