Democratic party. For many years
Mr.. Mitchell has been the backbone OF

paper has upheld Democratic princi-

has been vigorous. independent. sg-I
gressive and always Democratic. Two
years OF Democracy in the White
House has been enough for Mr.. Nit

policies OF Woodrow Wilson has trans
formed him into a good Republican.
Democratic tariff have stricken the

BUILDING IN HARD TIMES.

The Southern ~Lumberman. in a
striking editorial. urges its readers to
build while building is good.
Hard times have their compensa-
lions. When work is hard to find.
workers will work cheap. When or
ders are scarce. merchants will sell
at small profits. At the present time
IL Is possible to build at considerably
less cost than a year ago. Particular
ly is this the case in rural localities.
Simply as a business proposition.
men who have building to do. and
have the money to do II with. may
wisely undertake improvements at the
present time. looking to the business
Of the future.

In an address at ConneusyiHe. Bish-
op Oldham. n Of the foremost mis-
~sionary workers in the Methodist
Episcopal church. declared that union
OF Protestant denominations IL rapid
~ approaching. There are many signs
that the differences which formerly
divided. and still divide. the Protest.
ants OF he United states are disap-
pearing. In no section do we see the
herce sntasonism on minor questions
OF polity and doctrine thai once were
common. The doctrines OF the Prot.
estant denominations are essentially
the same. Acceptance OF the same
Christ. OF the same means OF grace.
and the same communion with the
spirit prevail Undoubtedly the ef-
fectiveness as a working organization
OF the Protestant churches will be
largely increased by union. We have
too many small. weak and poorly sup
ported churches; too many half
starved pastors. and too many consre-
cations kept alive to crafty the per
sonsl pride and petty j~ealousies OF a
few men.
Modern Christianity recognizes its
opportunity in service. rather than In
the stubborn insistence upon doctrine.

WILL GIVE PUBLICITY

The IntelligenCer has come In for
some criticism because It did not pub
lish the names OF the offendeds who
were caught shooting crops a few days
ago, and 1t has been intimated that II
was because this paper lacked cour-
age to give publicity because those
involved we're respectable and PROM
inent young men Of the city.'' Now,
we do not believe that anyone will
give much credence to such statements.
We propose to publish the police court
proceedings without fear or favor, re-
serving, however, the right 10 sup
press any story we think deserves to
DO suppressed. Now we do not near
that We shall refrain from publish
Ing O story about some son of q wor-
thy sire. In fact we shall rather give
the preference TO these, because they
Will be SO much interesting. So
II fair haired Johnnie" does not wish
to see his name in print, he had bet
ter not 80 before Recorder Rnssel
or any OF the magistrates In the city.
II publicity is what Is desired The In
tellissncer shalt try. to give 1t.
Now, we are giving this warning
because we wish to BIO absolutely foir
IN the matter. and to put all parties on
neaeo as 10 what we propose to do.
So do not blame this newspaper II you
Insist on gambling ana getting drunk,
and your name should happen to APP
pear in the writeup OF the police court
proceedings. The Inteliigencer has no
desiro to do anyone an injury, and
we hope this publicity will prevent
crime, as we believe II will. for we
find that people mnch prefer the legal
