IRRESPONSIBLE" GOVERNMENT.

! That scheme outlined in The Times yes
terday, in which the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress propose the organi-
zation of a kind of board of directors to
confer with the new President concerning
measures to which the party is definitely
pledged, suggests that the known desire of
Mr.. Wilson for the Inauguration of some
form of responsible, party government in
this>country is already finding understand
ing and sympathy. And it is possible that
the adoption of such scheme will be the
first step in some radical changes. The
President-elect has often in his public
speeches commented on the political irrespon-
sibility of Congress through which party
majority may secure election under pledge
to adopt certain measures and yet retain its
security in office whether it ignores or for
gets those promises.
Mr.. Wilson has frequently pointed out
the superiority of the parliamentary system
ir. this respect to that of the fixed-tem -sys-
tenn of our Congress, and the smoothness
with which the English people revolutionized
the character of the house of lords by the
simple expedient of two general elections
has emphasized the views of Mr.. Wilson in
the minds of many American students of
modern government.
1t is not suggested here that the
actual organization of Congress is at all like
ly to be undertaken by the Wilson Admins
tration; the present, ponderous method of
amending our Constitution makes that a
practical impossibility; but the idea that our
Government should be politically RESPONSE
bic as we'll as allegedly representative of the
wishes of the people is rapidly gaining
ground, and the board of directors expedi-
|ent outlined in this newspaper yesterday may
prove to be the first move in momentous
change.
Meantime it seems to be more than likely
that the President-elect, after his Inaugural
ton, will reintroduce the custom initiated by
Washington and followed by Adams of de.
livering his first message to. Congress by a
personal speech instead of through the un.
inspiring medium of transmitted" COM
munication.
All of which provokes the reflection that
those ingenious reactionaries who voted and
worked for Wilson because they decided thai
he was "safer" than Roosevelt may yet rea'
lize that no man who was not progressive
of some kind could possibly have secured the
suffrage of the people this year.

HEALTH OFFICERS WARNING.

At present there is so-called
meningitis among horses which
is killing hundreds of head in the
counties east of us 1t is work
ing farther westward and stock
men and others should take every
precaution against it. All horses
dying should be buried or burn
ed. This is an order by the State
Board of health.
AS prevention all horse own
ers should get the animal in as
strong condition as possible us
ing stock foods, pure water and
dry feed which is free from
smut, mold etc.
The germ is supposed to be a
fly or worm which gains entrance
into the head through the ears.
Turpentine and lard should be
poured in the ears every few
days. The bowels should be kept
loose with green fodder or oil or
EPSON salts. Some veterinarians
claim the disease is caused by d
worm found on the grass which
burrows hole through the in
testines of the horse thus caus-
ing death. They advise giving
internally .turpentine and lin
seed oil.

DOES SOCIALISM OPPOSE
CHRISTIANITY?
(By G. G. Wilkinson.)

future life. They know nothing of a
life to come.
Thus do those who speak with author
ity take the portrait of this :rising and
rapidly growing tyrant of the human
race. If these authorities whom have
quoted define correctly the attitude of
socialism towards Christianity and
Christian theism, then the utter antag-
onism Of the two systems is apparent
to all, and there can be no such thing in
fact as Christian Socialism. In closing
we ask what is the deepest need Of the
human race as revealed by the Chris
tian religion? 1t is the need of an "a
tenement for sin. 1t is that such an a.
tenement has been made by Jesus
Christ in his death on the cross. But
socialism, while in reality " religion,
knows nothing of an atonement for sin,
nor of the need of one. Thus these two
systems are necessarily in deadly con-
fiict.

Charles H. Poole, ex-member of the
New Zealand Parliament, who has
been lecturing during the summer on
the Lincoln Chautauqua course has
just sailed for England, on his way
home. Poole campaigned in this
country for the drys some months
eight years ago. This time, he is &C
companied by his wife whom he mar
ried in the meantime. Poole has
lot of friends in this country who will
throw up their hats whenever they
hear that he is to return.
On August 8, the New Zealand Par
lament rejected a bill which proposed
that in the future, IS per cent of the
electors voting be sufficient to adopt
any proposal submitted. The parlia-
mentary vote was 81 for and AZ
against. AS the law now stands, it
requires two-thirds vote to prohibit
the beverage liquor traffic. At the last
election, national prohibition was vot-
ed for by large majority but it fell
short of the necessary two-thirds by
a few votes.

The Georgia Anti-Saloon League is
going cunning after the locker clubs
of Atlanta. 1t expects to make war
on all such organizations as are not
following the law strictly. AS every
where else, it is believed that these
clubs are nothing more nor less than
blind tigers.
Because of the street car strike in
Jacksonville, Fla, the mayor issued an
order closing the saloons. There is
an opinion in that city that if it is
good to close the saloons at any spe-
cial time it is good to close them all
the time.
The synod of Oklahoma of the
Presbyterian church congratulated the
Anti-Saloon League on its splendid
work, pledged the Presbyterian pull
pits to the presentation of the League
propaganda, and urged support of the
Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
The superintendent of the Nebras-
ka Anti-Saloon League has filed pc
tition with Governor Aldrich, asking
that Sheriff McShane, of Douglas
county, be ousted from office. The
petition is a result of investigations
that have been made in Omaha during
the past several months. 1t charges
wilful neglect of duty, a conniving
at law violation and that the sheriff
has aided and abetted in the violation
of laws which he had sworn to en-
force. 1t also charges serious per-
sonal misconduct, that he had kept in
Office deputy sheriff who had visited
disorderly house in the city of Oma-
ha, that the sheriff had wilfully per-
mitted gambling on the carnival
grounds during the Ak-Sar-Ben and
that he had become interested in a
contract of E. S. King for furnishing
meals to prisoners in the Douglas
county Jail, and that said contract had
been signed by some other party than
said E. S. King

AMONG

two students of the University OF
Michigan, were recently arrested tor
being drunk and disorderly on the
streets of Ann Arbor Attempts have
been made through state legislation
and city ordinances and through &C
ton of the state board of regents to
prevent the sale of liquor to Univer-
sity students by the Ann Arbor sa-
looms. But all efforts in that dlrec-
ton have met with failure. The stu
dents got into street tight and one
mans nose was broken. The boys
were later compelled to leave the
University and return to their homes
But the Ann Arbor saloons will be
permitted, of course, to continue in
their business of demoralizing and
running boys from other homes that
are sent to the Michigan University
for education and development.
Saloon interests, it is declared, are
back of an effort to invalidate the
recent woman's suffrage in Michigan
by alleging errors in the count IN
many of the counties. The allega-
ton is made that in some cases the
amendment ballot was only partially
printed. Representatives of the suf-
frage party do not believe the ants
will gain their ends.

Twenty-Five true bills, alleging VIC
lations of the prohibition laws, have
been returned against men in Muir
freesboro, Tenn, by the authorities,
who, represented by Judge John Z,
Richardson and Walter S. Faulkner,
states attorney, are determined that
such violations must cease. num-
Der of soft drink stands have been
closed and ordered abated as nuts
ances Severe penalties are prom
ised.
Celebrating their great victory, the
drys of Grafton, w. Va, held big
meeting in the city opera house. Much
pleasure was expressed with results,
and the determination was made to
follow up the victory with needed leg
islation to make prohibition fully et-
fective.
Bristol, which is half in Virginia
and half in Tennessee, has its troubles.
The Virginia half is wet and the Ten
essee half dry The vets of the Tenn
essee portion would like to have that
section open itself to saloons and are
using the old license argument. The
drys, on the other hand, would rather
have even half of the town dry than
all of it wet. The vets seek the en-
actment of a law which will make
border towns wet entirely if half OF
them are wet.
