Fighting Against "Isms''

In a recent special dispatch TO his
paper, the Richmond correspondent
of the Washington Star thus com.
ments on the congressional fight in
the Ninth district:
lone feature of the campaign has
been that the word Republican is fig.
uring very little in that section. 1t
is always Slempism, Cannonsm and
standpatism. The changes are being
rung on these lines. Mr.. Stuart is
making his fight on the conditions in
which the people of his section find
themselves. They are being asked
what has been the gain to them as a
result of several years of Slemp in
Congress. 4"
All this is true and the CORE
spondent might have added a number
of other "isms" against which the
Democrats are fighting.
=, They are ringing the changes
very properly upon Slempism, A"
"Cannonism, - standpatism, - cal
drichism, " ''bossism" and the rest
of the "isms" that are now affecting
the people, because they have swal-
lowed up, monopolized and superseded
the old Republican party, and de-
stroyed whatever of good was claimed
for il in the past.
The standpat leaders of the Repub-
lican party have, through their selfish
ness and utter disregard for the inter
ests of the plain people, brought
about a condition of affairs in this
country, which demands plain talk
and the calling of spade by its
real name.
Still wearing the livery of a party
which in other days made some pre-
tensions, at least, of friendliness to
the rank and file they have surrender
ed "bag and baggage" to the great
private interests of the contry, the
result being that cruel and grasping
trusts are allowed to dictate policies
of government, and to amass inord-
nate and unreasonable fortunes out of
the hard earnings of the men who
toll.
1t is time therefore to "ring the
changes and to warn the people that
unless they wake up and take control
of their affairs, free government will
shortly become but an empty name.
They have been warned in truthful
and timely manner, and it is believed
they will heed the warning and annil-
hIlate the isms' at the election in
November.
Henry c. Stuart, the peoples can
dldate for Congress, stands as
straight as ramrod," and not
merely as "a string" against all
these "isms" and in favor of the
broadcast liberties and best interests
of the people.

A PET TERRIER.

There was a little Scotch terrier
on the farm who was fond of the So
ciety of boys. and with whom we had
great deal of un. This dog had
several peculiar merits. For instance,
he could climb tree. 1t must be ad-
mitted that in order for him to do
this several conditions were neces-
sary.
The tree must be an apple tree
with branching limbs not far from
the ground, and the trunk a good
deal inclined; there must be cat in
one of the topmost branches, and
there must be some boys to urge the
shaggy little beast to his utmost en-
deavor. There were a good many
such trees on the farm; there were
always cats willing to sit in safety
upon an upper branch and give q dog
lessons in tree climbing; and we con-
fidently believed that with continual
practice the terrier would be able in
time to emulate the squirrels.
But there was something this lit
tie dog could do better than tree
climbing. Down by the river there
were great meadows where the COWS
were pastured, and here the land lay
30 low that at high tide II would be
overflowed were It not for high banks
which were built along the river
shore. These banks became the homes
of large number OF muskrats who
dug through them long holes and gal
leries. sometimes undermining and
injuring the banks to such an extent
that great gaps were broken in them
by the rising tides. and the meadows
we're inundated.
OF course II was very desirable to
kill as many muskrats as possible,
and at this business the little ter
rier showed great ability. He was
SO small that by some scratching and
pushing be could go into the muskrat
holes and follow their windings for a
long distance, and attack the enemy
In his inmost strongholds.
Sometimes the little dog would be
inside the bank and lost to sight for
half an hour, and when at last he
came out It was impossible for his
admiring young friends who awaited
him to put limit to the number OF
muskrats he had killed whom lost TO
our view. He never boasted, but we
did that for him. Frank r. stock

They had hopeo for It, They had
dreamed about 1t. He wrote II with
His own blood. He wrote II so clear
ly that the world could not mistake
its meaning. 1t blazed out with a
divine intensity and illumined a very
sinful and weary soul. IL was the
divine word forgiveness.
We little realize what this word
meant to the world In that day Their
gospel had been IAN eye for an eye
and tooth for TOOTH This word
struck a new note in their religious
life. Jesus mounted upon the cross
and with one mighty sweep Hei
brushed away all the trappings of the
Mosaic law. Its ceremonies and puri-
fyings now became dead letter. He
burst open the Holy of Holes and
made 1t possible for every repentant
soul to approach God. lie revealed
that for which the centuries had been
looking. He manifested that for,
which the heart had been hungry
the love of God. Never again need
the world doubt Gods love. From
every valley and hillside and hamleti
| see the weary, burdened people,
pushing their way toward the cross,
to find refuge under its shadow and
to seek forgiveness through its sub
lime sacrifice. 1t is the greatest mes
sage of the ages.
How much this forgiveness means'
to the world to-day! 1t touches every
phase of our lives. 1t comes to the;
conscience and places the enormity OF,
sin by its side and shows it's estimate,
in the light OF Biblical standards. It
comes to the intellect, and. with the
authority of Him who made the in
tellect, reveals the true way to the
Fathers heart. 1t comes to the heart
and with an infinite pathos and poweii
shows the love and mercy of the in
finite God. 1t fits every side of our
lives. Christ forgives every mean ac-
tion, every sinful deed. every neg
lected duty, and every unklnd word. I
He forgives the sins we have CONF
mitted against ourselves, against our
brothers and against our God. Ha
blots them out so completely that
neither our own fearfulness, nor our
strong enemies power, nor our self1
reproach can reveal them. He buries
them so deep that nothing in heaven
or in earth can ever resurrect them.
Dig down as deep as you can and YOU
will never find even the skeleton of
the lifeless dust of your sins. The
evil heart which is the fountain Of
sin will be purified and made white
as the snow, so that forever after
there will issue forth pure and right
eous actions. The old familiar hymn
states the Christians experienced
beautifully:
NV God is reconciled.
His pardoning voice ] hear,
He owns me for His child,
| can no longer fear,
With confidence I now draw near,
And Father, Abba, Father cry.
