Christianity and Politics.
Somebody has asked the questic

Somebody has asked the question,
which is now being very widely dis
cussed in the newspapers, Can a
politician be a Christian" If it
were true that politics is, according
to the formal definition, the sci
ence of government, the question
might not be difficult to answer;
but unfortunately. politics is not al
ways what the definition represents
Bossism, graft, and temptation in
many forms that make principles
subservient to interest are among
its characteristics. Yet politics, in
the best sense, cannot be said to be
incompatible with Christianity.
There are doubtless many Christian
men occupying political posts-men
of sterling principle, devoted to the
truest and best ideals and who can
not be. swerved from their concep-
tion of what is right. Such men are
among the leaders of thought and
action in every generation, and their
adherence to the teachings OF Christ
need not be questioned.
There are many callings of which
it can be said that their degration
or elevation depend wholly upon
the individual. We have Christian
statesmen, Christian soldiers and
Christians in other activities. 1t was
not designed by the founder of
Christianity that his followers
should keep themselves from those
occupations in which they might
occasionally meet with temptation,
but rather that they should remain
and by resisting temptation act as a
spiritual leaven for the whole. They
are to be in the world, yet not
worldly; sanctitied and kept from
the evils of the world, as He was
sancti6ed, that others may be led to
believe through their example. This,
then, is the real test of Christianity;
when a man can carry into his busi-
ness, whether he be a merchant, a
professional or day laborer, the
mode and thought and action that
are characteristic Of high principles,
it is his duty to remain there. Re-
ligion can never raise the standard
of nation or community if it is
to be exclusive. 1t is by doing our
duty wherever we may happen to be
placed, and by stimulating others to
do likewise that we can vindicate
our title. Christianity does not and
should not incapacitate any one for
any of the real tasks of life. If a
man is in business which he regards
as being in direct conflict with
Christian principles, then it is his
duty as Christian to get out of it.
But the good citizen is not an as
eetic, to withdraw himself because
dis surroundings may not measure
up to his standard, but one who does
a mans share of the work that falls
to his hands, and who in the doing
lifts and vitalizes all around him.
We need Christians in politics as
we need them in every other field of
ordinary duty, and the more the
better. Herald.

All Communication Tax Delin
quents, Read This From
Supervisor.

To The People of EdgeGeld
County: We find from the Treasur-
er's office that only $l770 of the
commutation tax has been paid in.
The total paid to same date last
year amounted to from $4,000 to
$4,000. The difference is due to
more than one reason, the main one
being hard times.
The Legislature has changed the
law and fixed it again at $500 or
six days, and people in all parts of
the county are willing to work rath-
er than pay. In those localities
where people so prefer, we will le-
gally appoint overseers, and parties
desiring to work out commutation
can do 80 under said overseers, and
will not be bothered with the chain
gang authorities as heretofore. The
overseers may work the delinquents
atsuch times, in their discretion, as
will best suit the farming interests.

Hands Should be Washed Be
fore Carrying Food to the
Mouth.

The hands carry great many
germs to the mouth, and thus to the
throat and alimentary tract, and
it does not occur to the owner once
in dozen times that he is anything
but clean. Just watch yourself or
any member Of the family, and you
will find illustrations of what l
mean.
Did you ever see tired farmer
come in, wash we'll, sit down and re-
mark that his feet are tired, and ask
one of the children to bring him his
shoes? He will change his shoes,
which may have come in contact
with any filth or Infection, give a
sigh of relief, peel and eat an apple,
giving morsels to the children.
A case has come to my attention
of doctor who got a bad sore on
his lip. He recognized it as caused
by germ not usually present on
clean living people. His little girl
had become infected from his kiss
ing her. He traced it to its source
and found that he took the horse to
the stable, came in, washed his
hands, and donued his slippers.
The stable man had been the source
of infection and they had been car
ried by the doctors hands from his
shoes to his mouth.
1t is a good plan to warn chill
dren of the value of washing the
hands after handling their shoes.
One of the first requisites of a
good nurse is to wash her hands
after touching one patient before
handing any food to another patient.
The religious ceremony of the He
brews which involved the washing
of the hanGs has gone a long way
towards making the Jews the while
race they are to-day. We can learn
lesson from washing the
hands we'll after touching the shoes
in any way is a sensible, protective
measure. Progressive Farmer.

The Patent Medicine Evil.

In trying to get away from alco-
hol one should avoid its most dan
gerous form-patent medicine.
There is "dcpe" for every symptom
known to the sedentary worker
for headaches, for listlessness, for
Indigestion, for nervousness, ETC.;
they bear different names, and look
and taste different, but most of them
have alcohol as their chief ingredi-
ent, several brands containing as
high as forty per cent alcohol, those
. containing ten and fifteen per cen.
being legion. Those which do not
contain harmful quantities of NOR
phine, cocaine and other drugs.
Proprietary medicines, indeed, are
absolutely worthless. They relieve
headaches and other pains that affect
the worker, but the relief is only
temporary; they remove the sensa-
ttion without at the same time re-
moving the cause; the headache goes
: on just the same, but our nerves are
benumbed and we do not sense it.
They seem to relieve fatigue, too,
but the real effect is to inject into
the system visulent poisons that
paralyze nerve and muscle tissue,
cripple the liver, kidneys, and other
organs, and work havoc with the
digestion, until ultimately the drug
habit becomes fixed and the victim
ends in a sanitorium, or dies,
physical, moral and mental wreck.

FOR MORE MIDDIES
SPECIAL PHASES
Being Investigated by Naval Acad-
emy Officials.
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS
Proposed Changes May Take in
Another Block Of City Property.

The Naval Academy officials are in
vestigating in a general way the facil-
titles at the institution for taking care
of considerably increased number of
midshipmen. as proposed in the sug-
gestion of the Navy Department Co
Congress
While all the officers who are inves-
tigating special phases Of the matter
have not reported, ir may be said in
general way that the buildings of the
Academy are sufficient for a substan-
tial number of additions and that
twelve hundred could probably be ac-
commodated. Bancroft Hail, the mid
shipments quarters, could be- arranged
to house this number comfortably now,
and the class rooms are also sufficient.
There is no doubt that there neces-
sarily be a considerable number Of ad-
diticnal officers and instructors. In
fact, the view is held by some that
there are now too many midshipmen
for the teaching staff. This would
lead TO the subject of quartering of
those attached 10 the Academy. Al
ready a considerable number Of the
officers attached here are compelled
TO find quarters in Annapolis.
There is no doubt that il would be
advisable to acquire two blocks and a
half in the city of Annapolis, which
is part Of the ground to be taken in
the Academy under the original plans.
and erect more dwellings for officers
upon it. This has been frequently
recommended TO Congress.
