ment that would slay a negro or poor
white man for an insult, ari that is
willing to excuse the same insult II
offered by one who lives IN great dis

false and damnable, Tell me a man
In broad daylight. can without the

Of money and pretense is behind him

ground, "He is respectable?" And
further an officer who would brave

man in the ditch, be he black or
white. but because he has no influ-
ence. and arrest him. and allow the
drunken man who has influence to 20
without molestation, is q coward.
Let us not be men who are ever
ready to jump on the man who is
down and out and allow the mighty
to go free, even guilty of the same
sins! The mighty who sin are far
more dangerous to the community
than the other fellow! Give sin no
quarter, 1t deserves none!
There Is dangerous way in our
city. and no. false ideas of respect
for certain leaders Of crime or GER
tain forms of evil will do otherwise
but assist our people downward! Let
us make Anderson the "City Beauti-
full"
(2) Evils Along the Way.
There are many dangerous evils
along Anderson's downward road, but
| we can b1t nention few.
A--Sabbafh Dissertation.
God said: Remember the Sabbath
day TO keep 1t holy Six days shalt
thou labor and dc all thv work; but
the seventh day Is n Sabbath unto
Jehovah thy God: in 1t thou shalt
not do any work. ETC." Likewise we
have State law against this same
evil. and also q city law, protecting
this holy day. But how is this day
set apart for the betterment of the
whole man. and protected by law d.
vine and human, respected? Our
mayors said when asked about these
laws replied: "You may depend upon
1t that the laws the. are on the
books will be enforced" Yet we
have not heard OF God or the State
or city repeating these statutes for
| the benefit of few who desire this
day for traffic and financial gain or
for another class. larger. who desire
10 sp5s!i shu iay iii satisfying Inc
spirit OF loafing and shame. We have
been waiting patiently for the oath
NJ onr o:iicera ana their sacred word
| OF honor TO be fulfilled. But will II
be done? Let US hope 80. II Is a
! sad day when we decide we know
more than God and the State and nut
| our desires for the material things CT
the world and a love for the lower
appetites before the highestt Men
need not argue that mo Sabbath" is
best for the happiness and general
good OF humanity since God had at
heart the good Of his children in oil
his commands! The only sure snun-
| dation for permanent and real pros
perity for tho individual, or the city
or nation Is proper respect for and
proper obedience to the laws of
God and man. ~
Let us have law abiding citizen

B.-The Corrupt Appeal to the Imag.

| God said: '.fseep thy heart with all
diligence. for out OF 1t are the issues
OF life" What we see ia mighty
power In making Impressions on cur
hearts, Impressions that win rtpen
irfo orln,e or Into something holy.
Back of crime Is a corrupte., imagi-
nation. where the purposs Is develop
ed and the deed follows. The senses
feed the mind and heart, and this
food Is making character, good or
bad, depending upon the quality.
Along Anderson's dangerous way Is
q power poisoning and forever blight
ing the character OF the young and OF
SOME who are not young. mean
bad moving pictures and questionable
vaudeville.
Pictures composed Of fighting and
robbery and displaying false ideas of
life will often ripen into actual
crime. Not long ago we heard and
read with heavy hearts the account
OF two young men from good families
