is neither clever nor in good taste.
We are not guilty OF the offenSe, nor
was there anything in what we said
to which the charge might be hitched.
The element OF citizenship" the
News Democrat represents is daily
outlined in its policy.
Perhaps that was considered a
political master stroke at the Office
Of the News-Democrat; but it looks
TO US more like an unmitigated in
suit, calculated to produce immeas-
urable distress in a world, where,
God knows, centuries sometimes have
rung with the echoes of an idle
word.
Pity the miserable, shriven soul
that conceived that horrid retort!
The diabolical hate that inspires :
peated aspersions on one set of men,
who have consecrated their lives TO
the uplifting of humanity, does not
hesitate to insult any other good
people by thrusting them between it
and well merited rebuke.
We cannot help it if such animos-
lty deliberately misconstrues our de-
tense of one set of good people into
an attack on another; but We simply
lay down this rule of conduct, that
whenever We wish to assail Jew or
Gentle. Greek or Barbarian, we will
call that one by his name and never
mention his race, creed or ancestry,
lest we fall to the level of the News
Democrat.

ON BATTING THE PREACHERS.


ON BATTING THE PREACHERS.
Our esteemed morning contempo-
rary apparently failed to take to
heart the rebuke administered it in
an open letter June 9 last, by the
Rev. G. T. Sullivan, who began: CAS-
president of the Protestant Pastors
association l feel constrained to write
an open letter and inquire of you the
cause of your continued ugly atti-
tude toward the ministers of our city.
Your filings at them are certain point
ers to your prejudice. You call them
political parsons and remind them
of neglect of duty, and point them to
fields where they are constantly at
work If you mean all Of us-more's
the pity. If you mean some of us, is
it just or brave to get behind the
quill and vent your spleen and not
call the names of those you mean?"
1t was that Characteristic ambi-
guilty of style In its attack on minis
tiers yesterday, which the Evening
Sun resented, and this morning in a
labored defense, the News-Democrat
replies: sit is when a minister of
God so far forgets the dignity of HIS
high calling as to step down to the
level of a political trickster, it is
then he stands in the position of the
crowd about him and at all times
susceptible TO public criticisms.
Iyfubt tbaro 4. a ronatftiou - t1o
very offense complained OF. When
the News-Democrat sees a minister
of the gospel degrading the cloth.
why does not the News-Democrat call
that minister by name, instead of
heaping abuse on a straw man de-
nominated a minister? As DR.. Sulli-
van suggests, "Your filings at them
are certain pointers TO your preju-
dice" Peaders of the News-Demo-
crat may be heard to say, wonder
who it is driving at" wonder If It
means the Rev. So-and-sO." And
suspicion turks in every congregation,
and confidence is shaken in the pull
pit itself so far as that papers in
fluence reaches. II affords the op-
portunity for shallow-minded per-
sons to dlscredit the whole ministry,
Just as the Ners-Democrat probably
desires.
Surety that paper does not set up
before God one standard of morals
for the preacher and another for the
layman. In the sight of Jehovah,
surely the layman is just as response
BILE for misconduct as the minister,
who. too. is human and liable to err.
II the News-DemOcrat were honest in
its criticism and actuated by that
same spirit of charity and forgive
ness which II sets up for the pulpit,
would It not, If deemed best for the
community, call the minister to bar
by name. not as a minister, but as
man. and give him a chance TO de-
fend himself, instead OF making Il
necessary for the president Of the
Pastors association to take up the
defense for the whole assemblage Of
pastors?
The outrageous attempt of the
to turn our flank by
openly charging The Evening Sun
with insinuating that the News-Dem-
ocrat in It's attacks on the ministry
represents any non-Christian peoples

marks that he objected to disregard

his company into the discussion. lie

into the affidavit OF w. L. Bower
in detail. He told how Mr. Olphant.
Mr. Bower and a bunch OF county
officials were together the night OF
August 3. and how the following
morning in an outburst of conf
dence Mr.. oliphant let the state
ment slip from his lips. In clear
tones he explained how necessary
Il was for MIR. Oliphant to deny the
statement. because he has not had
his work accepted and not received
his money,
Mr.. Haze!ip showed up Mr.. Bark
ley's hurry TO settle the Smedley
shortages. and said that clnched the
matter that MIR. Barkley was a mem-
Der OF the court house gang. To the
tax payers he told how Mr.. Barley
rushed in and got few figures from
a defaulter's books. and then hur-
ried TO the bonding company. which
was eager TO settle and get a blanket
receipt Mr.. Hazelip used the state
ment OF a member Of the grand jury
to the effect that Mr. Barkley. as
county attorney, did not assist IN the
prosecution of Smedley. and stated
To the jury that he wanted II under
stood that he was not taking part
in the returning OF the Indictment.
Mr.. Hazelip said he proved IL. by not
complaining when Smedley walked
the streets four months before his
arrest.
Mr.. Barley used his jokes 10 keep
the audience amused. and with his
comedy slid around the issues as II
on a toboggan. Splendid attention
was given Mr.. Hazelip except, by a
few young fellows. who gave shouts
for Barley and interrupted Mr..

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This
Remedy mt Our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease of the mu-
brane is, one may say, the interior
lining of the body. Catarrh there
fore may exist in any part of the
system.
When the catarrhal poison at
tacks the mucous membrane, in
Illumination and congestion are pro-
duced and nature fails to throw off
the accumulated poisons. The organ
which has been afflicted ceases to
perform its proper function as ma
ture intended it should. The result
Is, complication upon complication,
which may lead to other even more
serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from
the prescription OF an eminent ply
stefan who made a long study of
catarrh, and his great success with
this remedy was an enviable one.
We want you II you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persist
ency for reasonable time, then IL
you are not satisfied, come back
and tell US. and without question or
formallty we will hand back to you
every cent you paid us. This is
certainly the fairest offer that any
one could make and should attest
our sincerity of purpose. 1t comes
in two sizes. prices so cents and
$500. Remember you can obtain II
only at our store.-The Rexall Store.

The Electric MaiIinu Machine.

A new electrical device seals stamps
and counts letters before depositing them
in the mailing basket and it does the
work better and quicker than the best
office boy ever did. The new electrical ue-
vice will attend to one hundred and fifty
letters a minute. The machine will rea-
Oily perform its various operations on
one hundred and fifty letters a minute.
and may be speeded up to turn out con-
siderably more when required
The letters in punches are held against
an automatic feed. which permits only
one envelope at a time to pass its flap
over metal disk which revolves in water
AS the envelope advances the stamps are
fed forward, cut Off moistened and rolled
on the passing letter After the envelope
flap is moistened, and the stamp sinful
taneously attached, the letter passes be-
tween a series of rolls under pressure
and then energies and is automatically
stacked. A counter records each stamp
as it passes on the envelope, and thus
furnishes a check on the amount spent
for postage. Moreover. the stamps can
not be removed from the machine ex-
cept by the clerk to whom the key is in
truSted.-Electric News.
