CHRIST'S COMING AND DEMOCRACY
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

Dor, was to Him as tho it were done
for God.
When it is remembered that Jesus
was carpenter at time when the
philosophers declared that purchased
slave was better than hired one, and
when, in accordance with this teach
ing of the philosophers, half the world
lived behind prison bars, the coming
of Jesus into the home of humble
artisan and the living of His life for
thirty years in the atmosphere of a
workingman's home, becomes all the
more significant.
He lifted labor out of the pit in
which the so-called upper classes had
placed it. He gave the workingman
place in human society which he had
heretofore never enjoyed. The prin-
Iciples which he taught have since made
the workingman the equal of every
other man no matter what his voca-
tion in life may be. This is one of the
chief benefits of the coming Of Jesus
into the world, and for this service the
masses owe him a debt of gratitude.

DEMOCRACY OR PLUToCRACY.

The issue between plutocracy and
democracy cannot be compromised.
Democracy is man power; plutocracy
is dollar power. Either we must put
the dollar above the man or else 1--WE
must put the man above the dollar"
There are many cases in which we
can do both and there are not want
ing a goodly number of "old women of
both sexes" who are still confident
that this can be done permanently. 1t
was possible while the issue was cloud
ed by other questions. Inject the
tariff, or prohibition, or the religious
issue, or the money question and for
the time being this conflict between
the democracy and the plutocracy for
the control of the United States sinks
into position of relative unimport-
ance. The issue is there, however,
and it will remain there so long as
there is the difference, which the
profit system necessarily maintains,
between the contents of the pay en-
velope and the price of flour and
shoes.
The Mexican war took mems minds
off the slavery question in the forties.
The Mexican crisis and the European
war have taken mems minds off the
economic conflict today, but the CALLING
effect of high prices brings them back
to it, whether they will or no, and
when the spectacular military conflict
is over, the economic reaction that is
sure to follow will accentuate many
fold the ever-present economic issue.

own for a living on the other, is so
broad and so deep that even the "fools

existence. Once let it's presence dawn

"Lift the stone
And thou shalt find me;
Cleave the wood,
And there am l."

Altho not recorded in the Bible, this
is a quotation attributed to Jesus. Va
rious interpretations have been put
upon it, but whatever else it may
mean, it indicates that the presence of
Jesus is with the man who tolls. This
thought dignifies labor as nothing else
can. Men have sometimes made the
distinction between secular" work and
religious" work.
Jesus never made such distinction.
To Him all work was sacred. Even
before He performed miracle or had
begun His career as a preacher, Jesus
had this testimony from His Heavenly
Father: "This is my beloved son, in
Whom am well pleased" Jesus had
pleased God as carpenter. His daily
tasks were sacred tasks. The swing

sue came to a head in the United
States. The early agitators-like
William Lloyd suffered in
dignities and were outlawed by the
respectable part of the community.
The time came, however, when the
sale of men and women became an
issue so dramatic that none could es-
cape it.
The contrast between those who
work for living and those who own
for living has been indistinct in the
past. 1t is SO new, so unexpected in
this land of liberty, that the mass of
people do not yet believe in its exist
ence, or, if they do, they are confident
that it can be cured by an act of con-
gress. The time is coming-and that
right soon-when the American people
will see the issue. When that time
arrives, let the owners look to them
selves, for they will have no more
quarter at the hands of the outraged
democracy than the Shareholders re-
ceived at the hands of an outraged
public opinion that had outgrown the
idea of buying and selling human souls
for profit.

GRAPE GROWERS BOOT SALOONS

San Francisco Star: At meeting
of the Grape Growers Protective AS
sociation, in San Francisco, said to
have been the largest gathering of
grape growers that has ever been held,
it was decided to submit to the electors
of the state the question of the abol-
ishment of the saloon and the sale of
distilled liquors. The principle embod-
led in the Rominger bill, which was de-
feated at the last session of the state
Legislature, are to be presented in an
initiative measure for the disposition
of the electorate in the fall of 1918.
The grape growers realize that the
only salvation of the wine interests in
this state lies in the throwing over of
the saloon Jonah, and with the saloon
Will go the stuff that made Kentucky

When the Rominger bill went down
to defeat, it was asserted that the in
evitable result would be total prohibi-
ton in California, as soon as the vot-
ers of the state had an opportunity of
again voting on the question. The ac-
ton of the growers offers another
chance to preserve the wine vineyards
and probably the only chance. If this
measure fails, prohibition will follow.
