hlng HtcODOl III the Wnlte mouse,
means a social revolution. AL
ready the announcement has been
made that no wines or liquors shall
be served in the White House dur
ing the administration. Now comes
the announcement that Vice Presi-
dent Marshall and Secretary of
State Bryan, will permit no wines
or Intoxicating liquors, to be served
in their homes in Washington. Two
years ago, Mrs. Clark. the wife of
Speaker Champ Clark, announced
that no wines or liqnors would be
served in the Clark home in the
national capital. These object les
sons will be read by the civilized
world. It is to be hoped that other
members of the cabinet will follow
the example of the president and
his secretary of state.
! Several years ago when the en-
; bassadors of other nations were at
tending a banquet to Admiral Togo
and all had drunk intoxicants to the
distinguished Admiral, Mr. Bryan
was called on for a toast. AS he
arose he lifted a glass of clear,
sparkling water high above the
table, saying: Il drink a glass of
water to the man who conquered on
water!" That was one of the great
est temperance lectures ever deliv-
cred in Japan, and it was flashed
around the world the next morning
before breakfast
What wonderful thing it is that
the parents, preachers and teachers
of our land have three such men
as Wilson, Marshall and Bryan,
bright and shining lights at the pin
nacle OF lame TO point their emil
dren to. These men not only have
the brains to see the injurious ef-
fects of alcoholic beverages, but they
have conscience enough and cOur-
age enough to do what is best for
our people and our country. All
three of them are consistent and
active members of the Presbyterian
Church, and they are the ruling eld-
ers in their church.
May the God of Nations bless and
guide these men as they pilot and
guide our great snip of state.-Rev.

EIzea,

Thomas B. Elzea was born in
Ohio, March 8, 1887; died March 49,
1913, aged 76 years and 10 days.
He was married to Miss Nancy
Simms, Oct. ii, 1860. To this union
we're born six children, four of
whom preceded him to the better
world. Those left to mourn his
death are: Mrs Arrie Bynum, of
Fl. Smith, Ark, and Mrs. Mack
Green, of this city.
Mr.. Elzea united with the Baptisr
Church at Bethlehem in 1878. He
was a good citizen and a useful
man. No act of charity or need
was ever turned from his doors
Because he sounded no trumpets
and made no noise the world knew
but little of his charitable deeds.
One great characteristic of Mr.
Elzea was his desire to visit the
sick, whick he did as long as he
was able.
The funeral services were held at
the house Thursday afternoon,
March 20, 1918 at 3 o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. Bib. After the
close Of the services the remains
were laid to rest in the old family
burying ground, his six grandsoas
acting as pail bearers. Those left to
mourn their loss are his wife, two
daughters, one brother, one sister
niue grand children and five great
grand children.
Weep not that his trial are over,
Weep not that his race is run.
God grant that we may rest as
Calvary

A New Era in Government and a
Social Revolution.

government His inaugural ad-
dress will probably be read by
/ greater number of people than any
other inaugural message in the his
tory of our Republic. This will be
not only because of its brevity, but
from the fact that never before has
such a message contained so much
wisdom in so small a compass. 1t
will take its place alongside the
memorable messages of the immor-
tai Lincoln.
The phrase which rings clearest
above all the other finely modulat-
ed sentences, is We Shall Restore,
Not Destroy" and it is the sense of
this phrase which permeates the
entire address, as well as all the
Presidents written utterances. 1t
contains a complete political Cos
pei. There is certainly no sophis-
try in it, and there are no assur-
fances for the evil, and no catch
words fer charlatans. 1t expresses
an outlook, and a principle rather
than a method. Of course, it leaves
a free field for the manner in which
this method shall be brought about
but in the light of the Presidents
other utterances, it is not a glitter
ing generality" Clearly does it
mean that genuine popular govern
ment shall be, or should be, reStOr-
ed. 1t evidently means that GER
tain old American ideals shall be,
or should be restored, as a step in
restoring something like equality
of opportunity
1t means that all American in
dustries, and not a special few,
shall have greater opportunities
than ever before, 1t means that all
men shall be less handicapped in
their pursuit of liberty and happi-
ness, than in recent years, but it
means all men and not favored
few. Surely it means that the
forces of the government shall no
longer be employed for the benefit
and betterment of the few, but for
all. Truly it is an exalted program
and aims at something higher than
this or any other nation has yet
fully attained.
And there is cause for real rejoic-
ing that the man who gives this eX-
allied program, believes in it and
believes in himself, and believes in
the ability of the people to carry
out this program.
But after all, in this new era OF
our government nothing will be
more joyously welcomed and appre-
ciated than the exclusion from the
White House, of what might appro-
priately be termed Galvanized Pa
eanism, and the Reinforcement
in the executive mansion, of the E.
jected and dishonored NaZarene. The
Wilson family are known all around
the world as humble Christians and
earnest servants of the church. Car
the citizens of a Christian Republic
feel secure, safe and happy, so Ions
