RIGHT TO FIGHT LIARS.

Our Governor has no patience
with the political methods peculiar
to Old Guard Democratic pol

methods occasionally employed in
Republican politics. He believes
In open, irAnk aud Auussl ,n-thods
The Montgomery tribune., 1910-03-25

for winning the votes and the con-
fdence of the people. In his Cape
Girardeau speech last week he
made a telling hit when he said,
81 have never believed in a party
or an individual following the
practice of turning the right cheek
when the left was smitten. favor
instead the policy of Isaiah, the
prophet of old, who taught that it
was right to "fight liars"
Doubtless the Governor, like
most men familiar with the or
thodox Interpretation of the teach
ings of Jesus, takes the admon-
ition to "turn the other cheek"
literally. 1t needs an explanation
with which few are familiar.
Among the Jews of Judea it was
the custom, when challenging an
adversary or before making an as
sault upon him to smite him upon
the cheek with reed or with the
open hand. If the person thus
smitten ON one cheek turned the
other and was again smitten he
was then free to assault and even
to kill the challenger without fear
of the law. Turning the other
cheek was notice of this liberty to
the assailant and a warning to
"cool OFF, or prepare for serious
trouble. "Turn the other cheek"
was fair, manly christian admon-
ition to people who understand the
customs and laws of Judea; and its
spir it is all right-it is the spirit of
Governor Hadley and all manly
men. Missouri Republicans have
followed that Christian spirit to-
ward their Democratic adversaries
but as both cheeks have been smit-
ten they are now ready to lick
their adversaries without restraint
or apologies.
