SONS OF PREACHERS

A preachers son was arrested in
an eastern city the other day. He
had transgressed the laws Of the
state. and probably will be severely
punished by his fellow men.
Much notoriety was given the case,
although the crime was a most ordi-
nary one. other men have stolen far
larger sums of money, and many 9TH
er men have stood in the shadow Of
more severe punishment than awaits
this preachers son.
Other men can commit crimes, and
there Is no special reference made to
their fathers occupation, but let a
preachers son make a mistake, and
the gossipers are set going at once.
"What can you expect from a
preachers SOM" is so easily asked
by those who seem to expect preach
ers and their children to me immac-
ulate specimens of human beings.
II must not be forgotten that while
your minister is doing thousand
and one things for the spiritual and
material comfort of the members OF
his congregation on salary that
most brcklayers would dispise, his

AN INCIDENT.

Twenty-seven young Methodist
ministers in the Northern Iowa con-
ference have withdrawn from the
ministry, because the emoluments
are not sufficient to rear their fami-
lies in the most approved modern
fashion. The particular cases Offer
no difficulties OF solution. If the
young men entered the ministry. ex-
pecting to find the calling profitable
and were disappointed, they do well
In getting out. If the ministry Is
on a competitive basis with regard to
salaries, and they ascertain that
either they are not well enough
equipped to compete for the better
places or that their talents are better
employed elsewhere, no one can look
with sorrow or wonder at their de-
termination. There are many evil
dences all around us of readjusting
conditions; but that aspect of the in
cident would take us into a wider
range OF discussion, not profitable
just now.

Tenn. Opinions
Nashville Hammer.

Patterson's surrender of the nomi-
nation given him under the dubious
primary plan of June should in no
way affect the action of the anti
machine Democratic convention to
meet in this city on the 18th in
slant. The county conventions that
assembled that Monday mostly in
structed their delegates to vote for
the endorsement OF Hooper for gov
ernor and the nomination of Enloe
for railroad commissioner. That
ticket is the expressed choice of the
constituency that the convention will
represent and though there has
been no compact with the Republic
cans. and in the nature OF things
could be none binding on the con-
science of the independent voters
there is a moral obligation resting
on the anti-machine Democrats "a
support Mr.. Hooper. Without Re
publican aid the August victory that
defeated the machine judiciary
ticket and led to the conditions that
have forced the withdrawal of Gov
ernor Patterson from the contest
could not have been brought about
and the favor should in all fairness
be returned.
Besides all this. II is too late now
for any reformation of the anti-ma-
chine forces. A change of purpose
at this late day would result In a
division likely to prove disastrous To
the cause and bring confusion out OF
which. the still compact Patterson
organization could snatch victory
from defeat. Governor Patterson IS
withdrawal was manifestly planned
for this purpose and the independ-
ents should not allow themselves to
be SO ensnared.

RISE oF THE PEOPLE.

Arkansas has pronounced in favor
of the initiative and referendum.
Slowly but surely that system, which
throws upon the voters directly the
responsibility for initiating legisla-
ton and reviewing it, is taking the
country, and before many more years
ii will have become permanently
adopted in every state. Our friend,
William Jennings Bryan, has at last
found his proper sphere as an apostle
of pure Democracy. and record to
make his name great in history il
assured him IL he is spared for the
task.
There never was a time when an in
telligent. educated voting population
was not necessary in this country;
but with the adoption of the initia-
tive and referendum the necessity be-
comes more urgent. We predict a
revival of political campaigns of old
time vigor and enthusiasm when is
sues of immediate. practical import
ance are submitted directly to the
people. Journalism and oratory may
be expected to take on more digni-
fed style; for 1t is a truth today
that cannot be denied. many OF the
editors and many OF the orators dc
mot know what legislation is pro.
posed or the intent of II; nor do they
apparently. care to understand tins
import of measures and policies.
We can safely predict. too. tina
the first effect of the Initiative ant
referendum will be the rise OF tn
demagogues. Every crank with. I
lspecific for civic ills will pass arouns
a petition for referendum. Blu
this condition will rapidly adjust IT.
self; the expense and trouble of 4
special election will tire people o.
foolish issues. and the concentration
OF popular attention on the solutior
of administrative and legislativ,
questions will soon remove the evils
of our system and acquaint the citi
zens with affairs as they never have
been before.
At present 1t seems almost impos
sible to secure legislation of a purely
public nature that is not disfgured
by ignorance or emasculated by priv
ate interests affected by its opera
tons.
We have absolute faith in the will
of the majority, once informed. and
in the power of public opinion, In
diligently operating. We heartily
believe the only remedy for existing
ills required is to clear away the
distractions to the view Of the peo-
pie and the hindrances to the free
expression of their will.
This may be done by the short
ballot, direct primary under state
control. initiative and referendum.
the recall. and similar expedients, all
tending to place responsibility d.
rectly on the individual voters and
make officials amenable to popular
approval or disapproyal during ten
ure.

Many questions are being asked
as to what will be the result OF the
withdrawal of Governor Patterson
from the gubernatorial race. The
answer cannot be foreseen. While
many of the opponents OF the gov
ernor have believed he would with
draw, there seems to have been no
thought as to the result. His friends
have been firm in the claim that he
would not withdraw and believing
this, have not thought of what
would be done, though 1t seems
probable the administration commit
tee will be compelled to make the
first move, If any move is made. III
defeat seemed imminent TO the gov
ernor, 1t no doubt will be hard to
get some other man, who cannot
possibly draw around him the fol-
lowing that he had to offer himself
sacrifice to the caprices of a dying
element. What will be done cannot
be foretold, but it seems that the
governor has postponed his action
too long to restore harmony to the
Democratic party this fall
