Rebukes Preachers i'm Politics.

-
ebuke Preachers in Politics.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-The overwhelming victory Of
the Democracy in the city of New
ARK alone should convince EVERYDAY
that political tactics in the pulpit
have no more place there than !
monkey at the organ Of a church
loft.
we all respect a sanctuary of anv
denomination and the ministers of
the gospel should have at all times
the profound reverence of everybody.
SO long as religion and the beautifuI
teachings of Him who spoke as no
other man ever spoke are kept ever
lastlngiy alive for the benefit of hu-
mainly.
The sermon on the mount and the
golden rule, with the doctrine of hopa
for the future, are more nyigorating
than a cheap, noisy clamor with 2
iot OF local politicians in the peus
OF a church urging on Islander and
nasty remarks from a clergyman who
should know better.
Born IN Newark, 1 have seen so
much of this political humbug in
churches and seen and known SO
often the downright failure of such
movements L wonder at the same,
with utter establishment.
Mostly the agitators are new-com-
ers in town, and in days of old I
can call to mind several of them
who's stay was brief and some who
left under clouds which were very
dark as the railroad locomotive sped
from the stations.
While not a saint myself, unless
a good, honest Democrat of long
standing can be classified as such,
believe me when I say I have the
most profound respect for all Chris
tianfty of any faith, but politics in
the pulpit is a snare. a scarecrow,
and all sensible Christian men and
women should know it and learn the
severe lessons of the past.
We all want decency. and the city
of Newark will get it, and there is
no need for alarm nor excited man
i~festations in any sanctuary dedi-
Gated to the Lord of hosts and to
tie Redeemer of every living mortal.

REFORM IN LAWMAKING.

MANE good result of the judicial decision in the case Of the
W embarrassing bill will be to put a stop to the legsla-
tive practise of crowding the most important work of a
session into a few days prior to adjournment. 1t also disposes
Of the device of a recess to retain CONTROL of passed bills. Leg
isative sessions average about twelve weeks in length, and the
first eight or nine weeks are dawdled away. Important bills
that should be reported and voted upon within the first few
weeks are held back until adjournment is in sight. Committees
neglect their duties or deliberately withhold bills. Every year
q reform is promised and every year the promise is violated.
The court decision should have some effect in bringing about the
Reforms next winter

PATTERSON, Nov. 11.-Dr. Frank J.
Van Mort. the defeated candidate
for the office of sheriff here, Is so
certain he was robbed of votes that
he will spend $25. 900. if necessary, TO
prove his right to the office. He has
already put up $500 to insure the
county of Passaic against any loss
from an action he has started.
Van MORT, who lives in 1893 Main
street, possibly is better known than
any other physician in the city. He
ran on the Democratic ticket and was
beaten by IS votes out of approx
mately 10000. He was sheriff of this
county from 1906 to 1909.

PRETTY SOON

Pretty soon north winds will blow, bringing with them sleet and snow, and such goods; pretty soon the wintry gale will go whooping through the vale and we'll hear it moan and vail in the woods. Pretty soon the spring will come, singing gaily hmty-tum lumty-loo: spring.. with all her wealth Of charms, sheafs of flowers in her arms, spreading o'er the towns and farms skies of blue. Pretty soon the summer days will come sizzling down the ways, till man fries; and he'll sally forth once more as he's sallied oft before to demand the scalps and gore of the flies. Pretty soon the flying years will have led Us, by the ears, to the end of the long and hilly road, where we've borne our little load; then we'll reap what we have sowed, o my friend. Pretty soon this little life with it's foolishness and strife will be done; have you made fair renown? Do you figure on a crown at the final going down Of the sun? Pretty soon we'll be asleep and the willow boughs will weep overhead; let Us therefore put up grass while the days of sunshine pass for we can't do much, alas! when we're dead.-WALT MASON.
