Pledges, Bryan and Foreign
Policy.

We believe that men should be tenn
perate in their eating, in their drink
ing and in their speech We believe
that the man who is not temperate in
these things will decline in physical
and mental and spiritual health.
Having this thought and belief in
mind, we find more than passing in
terest in contemplating the intemper-
ate speech and actions of the Secre-
tary of State at Philadelphia the other
day. Mr.. Bryan was somehow con-
nected with Billy Sunday meeting.
He spoke on the subject of drink. He
asked men to come forward and sign
pledge not to drink.
Of course, the fact that Mr.. Bryan
placed the signature on each pledge
had nothing to do with the eagerness
OF the autograph hunters; but, what
ever it was all about, there was soon
such jam and such a turmoil that
the police were needed to rescue our
shouting Secretary of State. The
country saw the spectacle Of the ma
tion's Prime Minister haranguing q
crowd, as Francis Murphy did many
years ago, appealing to emotion and
the desire for famous autograph
while the nations foreign policy al
Washington went hang!
There has been no such spectacle
in recent years, and we hope that il
won't be repeated soon. We are sorry
that President Wilson is forced te
take on the duties of the Secretary O
State, but we feel at the same time
that these duties are in better hand
than they would be if in the control o
a man who prefers the cheap supine
ness of a personal pledge, before ;
noisy gallery, to the foreign problem
of his. .country.-St. Louis Times.

New Facts Concerning the His
tory of the Earth.

New details are continually being
added by geologists to the known his
tory of the earth, including the de-
velopmeut Of plants and animals.
However, that history, which is re-
corded in the rocks, is still fragmen-
tary, like badly mutilated book.
One of the great defects in the record
in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
regions Of this country is the absence
Of the later part Of the Cretaceous and
the early part Of the Eocene chapters
perhaps s to 10 million years ago.
A report recently issued by the
Geological Survey as Professional
Paper 90-J, entitled "The Cretaceous-
Eocene Contact in the Atlantic and
Gulf Coastal Plain, by L. w. Stephen
son, discusses this missing part of the
record and shows that the break must
cover very long period Of time. 1t
is known that at that time the conti-
nents we're at least as large as and
probably larger than they are now,
and the oceans were accordingly
smaller. Any rocks that were then
formed in the sea seem to have been
weathered and washed away.
Hundreds Of kinds Of plants and
animals that lived before and hum
dreds that lived after this great period
are known, but not one which lived
during the period. Strange to say,

The Bubble.

Quite hullabaloo was raised by an
esteemed contemporary over the
fact that the detailed expense account
of Governor Major for two years
could not be obtained from the State
Auditors office, From the noise that
was being made the public was led to
believe that if ever the account we're
obtained startling disclosures would
be made. There may have been some
justification in the crusade against
withholding the public account, but
the big idea back of the crusade at
tacking the Governors policy of
spending State money for travelling
and other incidental expense was a
very small thing for paper that lays
claim to greatness to do.
Now that the expense account has
been made public there is absolutely
nothing startling in its details from
beginning to end, except perhaps that
the Governor gave position to his
son. This is not startling in itself; it
becomes interesting only in the light
Of the growing antipathy to the policy
of nepotism.
AS for the travelling expenses, the
sums indicated in the account are
small, parsimonious, stingy and trif-
ling when it is considered that they
were spent by the Governor of the
State of Missouri. The amounts al
lowed the Chief Executive for travel
ing should be doubled or trebled or
left entirely to. the discretion Of the
Governor. The fact that the accounts
must be made public is snfficient safe
guard against luxurious expenditure
by any man raised to the dignity OF
Governor. The officials OF every
State in the Union are allowed lavish
and unlimited accounts for travelling
or doing any other thing in keeping
with the high Office they hold. No
one questions the right Of officials to
spend State money in the legitimate
performance Of those duties which
the Office requires. Travelling about

Church and State.

tHot Springs (Ark.l Sentinel-Record.)
The recent trend to unite church
and state with the control of politics,
and through the attempt to dominate
public affairs through the influence of
the public, is condemned by Peter
Radford lecturer for the National
Farmers Institute, who said in part:
"The greatest peril to the church to-
day is politics. The temptation of the
ministry to throw down the cross OF
Christ and pick up the club of the
policeman, to substitute the penalties
of the law for the power of the altar,
and to legislate religion into human
hearts, never was greater.
| The world never needed religious
ministry more nor political preachers
less than it does to-day. We need
ministers to teach us how to live; we
know how to vote.
Politics and religion will not blend.
No free government can long exist,
or the church perform it's mission to
society, when preachers and poll
ticians temporarily exchange callings,
and a civilization that will coun-
tenance such conduct will soon de-
cay.
| A preacher can no more preach a
political sermon without converting
his pulpit into apolitical rostrum than
he could sell Intoxicating liquor from
the altar without converting the
church into bar-room. He can no
more purify politics by playing the
/ game than he can sanctify gambling
by running a lottery.
| 1t is my opinion that when this
world is saved it will be through
religious sermons and not through
political speeches. Salvation must
come to us from the Bible, and not
from the Statute Book"
So impressive we're these state
ments that the "Gospel Tempest re-
published the words of the lecturer
ana commenting thereon, added:
"The kind of ministry needed in the
world day is Spirit filled minis
try, having the welfare of souls at
heart; a ministry to VIII ON the king
dom of Christ is dearer than any party
or creed; a ministry not seeking
power, wealth, or ease, but rather to
be blessing to mankind by preach
ling Christ and by living the life de-
manded of every true Christian

Prohibition Run Mad.

In Birmingham, Ala, they have just
arrested on criminal charge Hiram
r. De Laye, one of the largest news
paper and magazine distributors in
the city. His crime is punishable by
fine of not less than $50 nor more
than $500 and, in the discretion Of the
Court, imprisonment at hard labor for
not more than six months.
The crime of De Laye consisted in
selling copy of newspaper publish
ed outside the state which contained a
liquor advertisement. The Alabama
Legislature passed, over the Cover
nor's veto, a law making this a penal
offense. Therefore the people of
Alabama will have to restrict them
selves largely to reading home papers,
and will have to abandon to a great
extent the habit of reading magazines.
The newsdealers Of Alabama have
tried to meet the situation by cutting
out the liquor advertisements before
putting the newspapers and maga-
zines on sale. "This,n says De Laye,
"means much labor, as handle more
than 500 newspapers" and when the
big Sunday papers arrive he will have
to employ a large force Of helpers to
handle the scissors. But this will not
bother him long, for his customers will
soon cease to buy remnants Of news
papers. The Birmingham Age Her
aid prints cartoon Of an indignant
citizen trying to read the report Of a
battle In Belgium, and finding the im-
portant part cut out because liquor
advertisement was printed on the
back.
"The. arrest of Mr.. De Laye,"
genially explains the Sheriff, "was in
no way in the nature OF making a
test case, but means that he will be
arrested every day, and possibly ev-
cry Ave minutes, II he keeps on vio-
lating the law" The Montgomery
Advertiser and the Birmingham News
have determined to ignore the law,
and an injunction has been issued
against the former.
This is prohibition run mad. It is
said to be the logical result Of prohibit
tion; ifit is, 80 much the worse for
prohibition. Granted that prohibition
is good thing, still there are other

fewsif any OF the species which exist
ed before the unknown period lived
through it. 1t is like a play in which
the places of one act remain the same
as in the preceding but the characters
are all new, and yet many of the new
players resemble the old ones so much
that one is compelled to admit that
they are close relatives. In each OF
the States bordering the Atlantic
Ocean, south of New York, and the
Gulf of Mexico, are layers of rock
which were formed before and after
the period whose record is missing.
In these layers are entombed sea
shells of many kinds, 'but apparently
not one species lived through from
Cretaceous to Eocene time.

interests in government and in human
life, and they should not all be sacri-
feed to this, as if it were not only the
most important but the only thing in
the world. Carried to its logical ex-
treme, this would permit states in
which anti-cigarette or anti-racirg g
laws exsist to add thereto the anti
liquor provision, and by the time all
these advertisements have been cut
out the customer would not get much
for his money
1t would appear that there is little
left in the way of insanity for the pro-
hibitionists to enact into law. One
thing does remain. They might en-
act law providing that if a citizen
takes drink in Tennessee and crosses
into Alabama he should be arrested
on the ground that he had carried
liquor into the state,-New York
