The writer attended church at
Wyatt the third Sunday, Rev. Bras
well preaching. Subject. "A Sewer
Went Forth to Sow etc. He said
that it was essential to future
state of eternal happiness that
everybody should belong to the
christian church, that there was no
excuse for him not TO, for there
were so many churches that if one
church did not suit him he could
find one that did and that every
body should belong to the church.
The writer, although a non-church
member, was very much interested
in his discourse. Women and chill
dren formed the bulk of the congre-
cation, the men folks being off at
work. The writer did not meet any
one with whom he was acquainted,
| We read with much interest the
| speeches of the two leading expon-
ents of the tariff question which is
now the leading issue between the
two great political parties of the
country and will be until after the
next national election and perhaps
until the end of time, If our govern
ment lasts that long, which we
think is very doubtful. 1t sprang
| into existence with the beginning of
our government and has been a
bone of contention" between the
| politicians ever since and is no
nearer settlement now than when it
| first began. The writer agrees with
Mr.. Bryan, of course, but he meets
other fellows that are just as strong
! for Senator Bailey. and thus it goes,
The people know that they do not
buy wood pulp as raw material, but
they do know that when they buy
/ bible, school books, or subscribe
| for a paper they buy it indirectly
land this is the way the tariff works
| throughout, and this is why the
people fail to understand it and thus
disagree. According to Webster q
tariff is table of articles on which
duties which are taxes are levied
and how high or how low the r;''t
and on what articles the tax should
be levied is where the disagree
Iment comes in. Senator Bailey fail
led TO notice Mr.. Bryan's statement
THAT all raw material used by tae
trusts ought to be placed on the FIRE;
list, and this seems plain enough
for all to agree on. The bible says
THAT "a house divided against itself
shall not stand" and this will apply
to political parties, as we'll as fami'
lies or anything else. The tariff Is
a political question, and as politics
lis the science Of government, II
ishould be studied by every voter.
If farmer was to hire man tt
work on his farm and give him in
distractions as to how he wanted the
work done, and he was to go to do
ling the work the way he thought
was right he would soon be dismis'
lsed The officers of our government
are servants of the people hired tt
transact their business, and plat
form is simply instructions by the
people how they want their business
itransacted, and when they go con
trary to instructions ought to be
discharged and others elected tha
will go according to orders. AS the
writer understands democracy il
means that a majority shall rule.
Claude Barry got well enough tt
look after his team at Dallas.
1t is pleasing to note the decline
