Even those who do not support the
churches would find this a mighty
aard place TO rear their families If the
doors Of Gods houses were closed for
twelve months. The religion OF Je-
ms Christ is the hope of the world.
It and it alone can solve the great
problems that confront our social
our political and our commercial life.
And the Methodist preachers are an
important and an honorable part of
this great army of workers for the
moral regeneration of the world. And
as they go to their new fields Of la
Dor let us hope that they will carry
with them the inspiration and the in
fiuence which the conference has
generated. The spirit of Almighty
God hath abided with it's sessions.
They have witnessed mighty outpour-
tngs of His spirit.
Bishop Kilgo, one of the greatest
scholars of the church, is also one of
its greatest leaders. Possessed 20 an
unusual degree of a splendid fund Of
common sense, having the keenest
sympathy for all mankind, sweet
spirited, eloquent. intensely earnest,
diligent in the work of the Lord he
aas left his impress for good forever
upon the conference and the people
of Columbia who have attended its
sessions. His sermons have been ell,
oquent expositiCns of the word of the
Master, Seldom does it fall to the
good fortune of any people to hear
more stirring or inspiring appeals
thar fell from the lips Of this conse-
rated man of God. May he be spar
ed many years of usefulness and ser
vice in the church of his choice.

CLEAN OFFICIALS.

Too much cannot be said in COM
mendation of Gov. Hooper's action in
he Warden Fry Case. 1t may be
nd doubtless is true that officials OF
he former administration were al
owed to parade the streets of Nash
lille in a drunken condition, that
hey were granted special immuni-
les by the police that are not ENJOY
ID by the officials named by Gov.
Hooper, but that fact does not ex-
,use the misdemeanors of the latter's
official family. Gov. Hooper is cor
ect in his charge that politics was
responsible for the arrest of Fry, but
Ne also recognizes that if Fry had
walked the straight and narrow path,
ad not gone where the finger of sus-
picion could point to him, the dirty
little scheme of the enemies of good
government would have failed.
AS we have stated before the pris-
IN of all the institutions of the State,
should have clean officials. None
hut those whose walk in life is an ex-
ample to their fellows should be CIV
% positions of power and responsible
ty at the prison. They should teach
the conyicts by example the blessing
If a good life The fact is that a
nation that processes to be Christian,
that bases its laws upon the COM
mandments that were Numbered from
Mount Sinia ages ago, cannot afford
0 tolerate immoral and unChristian
officials in any station. They should
have no place in the affairs of State,
county or city.
And the people expect high NOR
al standard from the administration
of Gov. Hooper. Had one of Patter-
sons employees committed the offense
Of which Fry was guilty and been ar
rested the matter would have caused
little comment. But the people have
a right to expect the official leader of
the moral forces of the State to set
a high example in the appointment of
his official family. We all know that
Gov. Hooper walks correctly before
men and he should exact the same
rigid adherence to the moral laws
that he practices from those whom
he names to places Of responsibility.
There is no place in the present ad-
for those who are i'm
moral and unworth.

fit place for good men and yirtuous
women to abide.
And We cannot close without a
word in behalf of the reform press in
Nashville. No city is hopelessly lost
that has two such splendid opponents
of civic righteousness and good gov
eminent az the Banner and the Ten
nessean. 1t is true that they did not
win their contest. But wrong has tri-
umphed more often than right, albeit
the victories of the latter have been
more abiding. Let us hole that these
two great tribunes OF the people and
fearless opponents of the right will
continue the battle so gloriously won
until the civic life Of Nashville Is pu-
rified and those who have dared to
set themselves up in opposition to
the moral laws of God and man shall
be driven from public places.
All hail to the Tennessean and Ban
ner and the 5000 unpurchased and
unpurchasable citizens who followed
them to a glorious defeat. They are
the salt of the earth, the hope OF the
nation.

sulting adversely to the women. The
victory this year coupled with a SINH
lar victory in the State Of Washing
ION last year shows that the tenden-
cy of the times is decidedly in favor
Of equal suffrage.
That the liquor forces and so-c; lied
liberal elements feared the power
Of the ballot in the hand Of righteous
women Is shown by the vote of San
Francisco where the amendment was
beaten by nearly 10000 votes. The
rural communities saved the day for
the women. And one can hardly
blame the liberal" elements for their
opposition. The recall of a falthless
and recrelnt mayor in Seattle in the
neighborine State by the votes Of
women was notice of the power and
efficiency of the ballot IN the hands
Of good women.
Woman's suffrage now exists in
some form or another In a large ma
jority of the States. Kentucky is
ready to confer limited suffrage
upon her women. In six States Of
the Union me women enjoy equal suf-

THE CONFERENCE.

It is seldom that Columbia has the
privilege Of entertaining for a week
- splendid a body Of Christian gentle
men as compose the Tennessee Annu.
al Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South. With one &C
cord we believe that the people OF Co
.umbia will join us in saying that ve
are glad that this privilege was &C
corded Us. The stay Of the minis
ters among us has been good for our
people. It has given many Of them
q higher appreciation Of the noble
qualities Of the men who make up the
ministry of Almighty God.
The conference has been a bless
ing to this community. 1t has awak.
ened an interest in the work OF the
kingdom of God on earth that has not
been manifested recently. Their stay
iu the homes has been benedicLion.
Not every Methodist preacher in a
scholar: not all Of them are good re-
contours; not every one Is an enter
tainer. but the vast majority are men
who are striving with all their might
to walk worthily as becomes ambas-
sailors OF God the Father. They are
men of grace, Of sweet spirits and OF
self sacrifice. They point the way to
higher and nobler ideals. Their pres
ence here has caused many to think
more seriously of those great Ques-
tions of life and death and to ponder
more earnestly the subject, What
shall the harvest be! They are an
earnest lot of workers. Many OF
them receive but pittance in the ma
terial things Of life for their year Of
toll and self sacrifice, but most OF
them are happy and content. For
they believe that they are doing the
will Of their master and that 10
recompense that canont be measured
In dollars and cents.
The churches and their leaders are
the great moral forces Of the land.
