WITH OUR LAW MAKERS

Little Rock, Feb. 10-Repre- sentative Grant of Jackson has the reputation of being one of the practical jokers of the House, as we'll as not being a corporation champion. Just before adjourn ment Saturday, he introduced a
 privilege resolution" to the eff feet that beginning with today, the House should hold night ses- siOns at least three times a week, in order to catch up with the To- cal bills. His resolution did not meet with a second.
 Representative Wescott, of Hot Springs, whose $40,000 appropri- ation bill for the Arkansas State Fair was turned down by the Agricultural Committe, does not feel discouraged by that fact. The bill is to be amended by rais- ing the item of $25OO for the pre- paration of county exhibits to $7, 500, so that each county may get S100. Mr. Wescott will then tal,a his hill to tho floor Of tbn House, and make a fight for it, where he hopes to win.

lie WOMAN OF II.

Those who read the newspaper from
day to day are aware of the prominent
parts that women play in the affairs of
the world, and now they come across an
item concerning womankind that is out
of the ordinary. A news item of this
sort comes from Youngstown, o., where
a woman has sued her husband for ali
mony and separate maintenance, her
chief complaint against him being that
he made her walk five miles to church
when he could have furnished vehicle.
While there is a lack of detiniteness
as to whether this woman wanted to
travel the five miles to church in a taxi,
a carriage. buggy or a wagon, it is as
plain as the wart on the end of long
nose that she did not trouble herself
about the high cost of living, inasmuch
as she would have saddled upon her hus-
band the expense of hiring a vehicle to
take her to church. Perhaps the poor
man has been trying to retrench by cut
ting down his daily expenditures for to-
bacco and beer, or some other luxury,
counting every nickle thus saved as a
nickle earned, and if such be the case
it is no wonder that ne declined to
PONY up" for a taxi, or a carriage, or
a buggy or a wagon. Perhaps he offer
ed to transport his wife to church in a
wheelbarrow, but if he made such an
offer the scorn with which it was reject
ed can be imagined without any strain
on the mind.
Apart from the necessary expense
that the woman insisted upon here is
another phase of the affair that deserves
attention. Women have within the past
few months distinguished themselves
and greatly to their own satisfaction
and pride by walking from New York
City to Albany and from the same start
ing point to Washington, D. Gall for
the purpose of presenting female suf-
frage petitions to the statesmen-yet
this Ohio woman objects to walking five
miles to church, But that is the woman
of 1t. The chances are that she would
have insisted upon walking if her hus-
band had urged her to go in a vehicle.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Gospel Temperance a Law.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Does this Gospel temperance that /
have been speaking of harmonic with
the Bible?
If so it must be accepted for the Bible
is the only rule of faith and practice for
the world. | know that many will not
agree with the ideas of the Bible, but
the loss is theirs. The word of God en-
dureth forever. We shall be judged by
precepts and principles. l have shown
that Gospel temperance is based on such
an efficient restraint imposed on our
selves as shall keep US safe from the
temptations and dangers which attend
their use. This restraint in regard to
alcoholic drinks, to be etfectual and GER
tain in securing Its end cannot be any
less than total abstinence. On this
principle all parts of the Bible which
relate to this subject are harmonzed.
The object of this law is absolute safe
ty and duty requires of us is to make
1t permanent.
Gospel temperance is fundamental
law, and to it the use of wine and strong
drink must be subordinate. There are
nice questions IN regard to the Sabbath
though many church members seem
to think there is no question so far as
they are concerned, as they can do as
they please, break it or keep it at pleas
ure-theft, falsehood etc. as to what
really constitutes a violation of divine
law. Yet every man of good Judgment
must admit that course of unquestion-
ed right is better than doubtful one,
and If we can follow the right course it
is our duty to do it. Apply this to tenn
perance if you please. That restraint
which is sure to prevent any and all
evil by putting Intoxicating liquors en-
tirely aside is, without doubt, the right
kind, because it leaves no uncertainty.
OF two courses in any matter of moral
or religious duty, we are bound to take
that which is free from doubt To say
that moderate drinking is doubtful. is to
state it too mildly. Is there absolute,
perfect safety for the moderate drink
ers? Multitudes of drunkards come
from their ranks. If experience counts
for anything, and every sensible person
is persuaded of its convincing power,
then anyone who tries moderate drink
ing must confess it is doubtful what
will become of him. He is mot one
whit stronger, or better able to resist
this appetite than others who have gone
before him. No, there is only one safe
course to pursue and that is to obey the
injunction of the Bible, touch not,
taste not, handle not. But some men
seem to think they are law unto them
selves and hence defy the law as far as
they dare. Some men swear allegiance
to the law of God. then openly set it
aside and defy the Great Law Giver
Himself as well as the laws Of the land.
Does the law of God or the land recog-
nize favorites, or grant special privi-
legeS, to few? The law of God does
not, and the law of the land has no
