That preacher up in Kansas who re-
signed from the ministry because. to
use his own explanation, it is impos-
sible for a minister of the Gospel to
lead an honest life. did the right thing
when he resigned, A man who holds
such an opinion has no business in the
ministry, and he did 1t a service when
he got out of IT, He is now a street
+ car conductor and it would be safe
bet that he doesn't ring up all the
fares he collects. If he found it i'm
possible to be honest while he was a
preacher the street railway officials
will do well to watch him. Even a
minister may be tempted and fall, but
that is no reason why he should in

profession for which he himself was
plainly untitled.

Speaking recently of Colonel MUIR
fees opposition to the constitutional
amendment a former student OF his,
whose hair lie now tinged with gray,
tells this interesting little story
1T was on the opening of school at
the old Howard when that school was
located in Marion and hazing had been
carried to the excess of dragging boys
from their rooms and plundering their
trunks and furniture. These extreme
acts reached the ear of Colonel Murfee
and he Immediately assembled the
student body in the chapel ana made
them this speech:
"'You men, for ages it has been
the unwritten law that a mans home
is his castle and even the King of
England cannot enter the lowliest hut
in his kingdom unlimited. Your room
in these college buildings is your home
as long as your are student here.
and he who dares to enter there un-
heralded and UNLIMITED to modest your
privacy or to maraui. IL you are true
American boys, you will throw him
from the window even at the sacrifice
of breaking mis- neck
ut is useless to add" the old
student continued, that there was no
more such hazing INDUCED in" And
1t is this principle that now bubbles
up in the veins of the old Colonel and
numbers of his old students, when
laws would be enacted encroaching
upon personal liberty and the sanctity
of the home.

The mention of the negro. ex-Con-
gresham from South Carolina. who
was a scoundrel when he misrepre-
sented that old State. and who is to
be brought back and made to answer
for some Of his crimes, brings wildly
back to some of us the conditions that
existed in Alabama in the early seven
ties. We remember when a large mi
nority of the lower House OF the AL
ALBANIA Legislature was composed OF
negroes as ignorant, uninformed and
in every way as unified for the
place as any that ever worked in the
fields of the South. These semi sav-
ages represented some of the best
counties and cities Of the state, and
their white leaders took delight in
noting the disgust with which these
men of Alabama who had to asso-
ciate with them.
These negro members of the Legis-
lature were specimens of what was to
be found in other positions of trust in
Alabama, and they were put in office
by the Republican Party. Thus II
comes about that party has not been
able to obtain much standing or fec
ignition in the South, and IL some OF
the elders among us still retain some
prejudice against the name of the Re-
publican Party and those who COM
pose 1T. the explanation is found in the
fact that memories OF the past are
slow to die, and that they survive even
to the extent of doing injustice to the
living in many cases. The time when
negroes without either character or
fitness could control the affairs and
destinies Of any State In the South has
gone, never to return, and let 1t be
hoped that the bitterness of those
days will also pass, and that the men
of today will not be governed or in
fiuenced by what was done against
US by those of a former generation.

PAST AND PRESENT.

Referring to recent item of news
printed in the papers, The Norfolk
Landmark grows Retrospective. and
says:
Southern Republican of the newer
generation Is discouraged by what he
calls the prejudice existing, in the
South against the name of the polit-
ical organization to which he belongs.
But never did prejudice have strong
er foundation, and never was peo-
1t. The South knows what it has
passed through and 1t is slow about
taking chances. A new era has
dawned in the nations politics, but 1t
and by that time the Republican Par
ty will probably have split as the
Democracy did in. 1895.
The news to which we refer is dis
patch from Sumter. $. c., to the effect
that Governor Ansel has authorized
the local Sheriff to guarantee the ex-
pense of bringing back to the State a
negro ex-Congressman who is under
sentence of three years in the peni-
tertiary for a serious crime, with 9TH
er serious charges untried. That the
former Congressman is n dangerous
scoundrel is a notorious fact. The cir
cumstantial evidence is that he was
Just as much OF seoundrebl H., wren senr sne
and sent him to Congress to represent
a great Southern state, running
roughshod over the conmunttys feel
lngs.
1t is fortunately true that much
of the bitterness and hard feeling en-
rendered during the days of recon
struction has passed away. A new
generation has come on the scene, and
to them the happenings of something
like forty years ago are little more
than a tradition with which they have
nothing to do. The Republicans of
today, with rare exceptions, had moth
ing to do with the Infamous era OF re-
construction, and cannot be held re-
sponsible for it. There are yet some
to be found in the South who be-
longed to the aggregation which did
such grievous wrong to this section,
and contemplated even greater in
famies than they were able to carry
out, but for the most part they have
ceased to be leaders of their party.
And So while it is well to draw the
mantle of charity and forgiveness
over the past, 1T is impossible for
many of the survivors of that bit
ter era to forget some things. If they
have a prejudice against the word
"Repuhlican" 1t is because all the
wrongs that were Inflicted on our peo-

WHICH DOES HE STICK TOT

1t must have appeared to those who
read reports of the speeches of Gov
ernor Conner in Gilmore and of Judge
Weakley in Tal1adega last Saturday
that the same sort of light had pene-
trated their brains. 1t may have been
an inspiration that struck them at
the same moment. or it may have been
the result of consultation. At any
rate they both declared that a man
could load up his home with
whiskey and invite everybody in to
drink until they would he I'M
able to control themselves. This they
claimed was allowable under the
Weakley- Fuller bills. They have been
arguing for protection of the home,
but now go the whole length of drink
Ing and argue that they have pre-
pared laws that will allow every home
is strange sort of arg ument to be in
dulged in by men who have put all
stringent laws which they whipped
through the Legislature. At Hunts
vile Judge Weakley stated that it
would be unlawful to make black ber-
ry and scuppernong wines and cor
dials and that the good women of the
country would be willing to give up
that right in order that whiskey
might be driven out of Alabama. IN
Talladega he turned right about and
said that under the proposed amend
ment it would not be unlawful to
make blackberry wine IN Alabama
These are certainly very contradictory
statements. The people have walked
up to the tyranny that is covered up
in these laws and this proposed
amendment and those who favor them
