did Christ set men free Their OBJ
legation to him alone and their liber-
~ TO serve him in the ways that he
would make plain to them individu-
atty was supreme. Alongside OF this
no other mans scruples could stand
for minute The principle OF
Christian liberty is greater than any
detail OF practice. Upon this funda-
mental proposition Christian teach
ers should squarely plant their feer.
The modern tendency, happily grow
ing weaker every day, to regulate
the Christians life in matters Of de
tailed practice by ecclesiastical pre-
scripton finds TO warrant in the
New Testament One mans com
Functions may not bind another
mans conscience. Christ Is not hon
orcd by machinc-made and marked
disciples. Liberty Is essential to life.
1t was a grave responsibility, how
ever. which Paul placed upon the
Christians OF Corinth when he &C
corded to them this unprecedented
measure Of independence and liberty.
His safeguard was that he made clear
that liberty should be animated by
love. If each man thought first OF
the others welfare. and Of the profit
Of the many he could afford to live
by this royal law OF freedom. Paul

Social Law and Personal Liberty"
Any man who does utterly as he
pleases among his fellow men is an
anarchist The law rightly lays its
restraining hand upon such Selfish
ness is unsocial. He who serves him
self first cannot serve his fellow men.
When the rule i every man for him
self the result is not that the devil
gets the hindmost. but that he gets
the foremost. Prominence in SELF
seeking is supreme sin. Let it be
written plainly and beyond all mis-
understanding that whosoever IS
seeking his own ways, regardless OF
his neighbors welfare, Is an offender
against all laws, human and devine,
Christian liberty looks first to the
welfare OF its fellow men.
This opens the door to all legisla-
ton that is of late attracting atten-
ton in restraint of special privilege.
Nobody thinks that he can do as he
pleases with respect to smallpox or
measles or sewage or the keeping OF
pigs Neither can he do as he pleases
with respect TO strong drink The
enlightened Judgment of modern Sc
ciety is that the liquor traffic as I,
whole IS inimicaI to the community.
The local option successes that have
of late been recorded in all parts o.
the land are merely one sign of the
increased sociahzation of Our times.
They indicate that selfish and ii.di-
vidual personal liberty must Dc
subordinate to the prosperity ami
safety Of the whole mass OF mankind
In other words, the reign OF brother
hood is supplanting the reign of pre-
datcry sel6shncss.

TARIFF ON LUMBER.

The Augusta, Ga, Herald, a demo
cratic newspaper published in a strict
ly agricultural section, publishes the
following excellent editorial opposing
the reduction of the tariff on lumber:
Tariff revision has become a neces-
sity On this all men and all parties
are agreed. However, the way in
which it is to be revised is a point
in which there is no such agreement.
When 1t comes to this there Is the
widest disagreement, and 1t is this
that makes tariff revision such a diff
ficult matter. Everybody desires to
see the protective duties retained
which protect his business and put
the revision on the other fellow.
And so it happens that some of the
strongest states-in their votes In
congress-favor revising, that is cut
ting down the duty on lumber. In
the middle North and the middle
West practically no lumber is pro-
duced Such states as New Jersey,
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
produce no lumber, and therefore
they are clamoring for free lumber.
Not only are they inconsistent in
this, but 1t comes from them with
very bad grace. It is these states
which have been made rich by the
protective tariff. The Industries in
which they we're principally engaged
were protected when free trade would
have suited the rest of the country
better. And now, when tariff revis-
ion is needed and demanded, they
clamor for a revision of those du-
ties that do. in small measure, pro-

A NEWSPAPER SECRET.

The Forrest Register says: Editor
May, of the Brandon News, has in
stalled a linotype machine. There is
certainly some secret about the finan-
cial end of a country newspaper
which the Register editor hasn't got
as an inference, or an insinuation?-
Meridian Dispatch.
Editor May has probably achieved
success for the reason that he has
gone about his own business in his
own way, without the least curiosity
or concern with the affairs of other ed
itors in other towns-thus differing
materially from the course pursued by
the "Meddlesome Matte" who manip-
ulates the Forest Register.
The News hasn't forgotten the fact
that the Register man went out of
his way about a year ago to predict
newspaper funeral in Hattiesburg,
and 1t takes pleasure in informing
him now that the object of his wanton
attack at that time is now about to
install an additional linotype machine
to accommodate the business that has
come to it through a resolute pur-
pose to conduct its own affairs, in
its own way.
