RELIGION AND
CHRISTIANITY.

Religion is a wonderful thing
There are several hundred different
kinds and brands of religion.
Christianity is power for goot
and no one would want to live where
the Christian religion is unknown.
Religion does not save a person
unless it is of the right sort of re-
ligion, it makes little odds how re-
ligious you are. The laws of the lane
can never be made perform the that
great saving power, which is alone
in Christ Jesus.
The religious lights cannot be sci
up by wicked hands and at the same
time have becoming influence upon
the unsaved. People are not saved by
tantilizing or harassing but by educat-
ing them. You cannot legislate
Christian religion into person, no
matter how POROUS he may be. You
rob a person of what he regards as
his rights and liberties and he will
prove a hard customer to lead to
Christ,
Our country is today filled with Re-
formers. The reform movements are
furnishing easy jobs for many, and
while they are all sailing under a re-
iigious banner, there are many differ
ent brands of religion represented In
our Nation.
While Jesus Christ was upon earth
we have no account of him lobbying
In the legislative halls in order to
get certain laws passed to save Souls;
He went about his way teaching and
preaching, sterring clear of political
reformers.
AS we stated in the outset we would
not live in country where the
Christian religion was unknown and
untaught, but we are averse to Sc
much of this so-called reform rot
that our law makers are trying to
stuff down the threats of the people
There are certain rights and liberties
that belong to the people and no SCI
of lawmakers or reformers have a
right to deprive the people Of those
rights and liberties.

ADVICE ON ALIGNMENT.

If your automobile tire starts to
wear out suddenly in the middle OF
the tread it would be well for you to
find out whether your wheels are out
of alignment, according to Mr.. Yates.
dealer in United States tires.
Bad alignment is one of the prin-
cipal causes of tire injury. The first
symptom of mis-alignment is rapid
wear in the center of the tread. Elk
animation of alignment should include
an investigation to see that there are
no loose bearings, for loose bearing
means a wobbly wheel, which is espe-
cially hard on tires.

FURTHER REPLYING TO
JUDGE z. Nj. STEPHENS
LETTER OF MAY %, 1922, TO
SENATOR VARDAMAN.


SENATOR VARDAMAN.
We notice, Judge, that you state in
your letter, after you had voted for
the negro Bruce for United States
Senator in 1874, that you -"were as
Eloater Representative from the
Counties of Pontotoc and Union in
1882, and only nine years after the
election of Bruce" That you were
elected Presidential Elector from
your Congressional District in 1884,
that in 1888 you were candidate for
Congress and carried four counties of
your district, and that in 1891 you
were elected to the Senate to repre-
sent the counties of Tippah and
| Union"
According to your own admission,
you were never elected to any office
after the year 1891.
Isn't it rather a peculiar coinci-
dence, Judge, that you and the Mis-
sissippi negroes quit politics together,
for General Georges famous addi-
ton to the organic Franchise of Mis-
sissippi did not take effect until the
first day of January, 1892. This
master stroke by Mississippi's rev.
cred Commonor put put the negro out
of Mississippi politics, and he has
never voted since.
1t does strike US as being just a
little bit peculiar, since you say that
you have always been a consistent
democrat, that you never have been
able to be elected to any office since
General George put the negro out of
commission.
Since you have forced US, Judge, to
dig back in the records to put the
test to your democracy, would you
pardon us if we called your attention
to the fact, and ask if you did not
vote for resolution offered by one,
Mr.. Sullivan, which is to be found in
House Journal 1874 page AZ to the
effect that all members of the United
States Congress from Mississippi be
respectfully, but firmly, requested to
return to their post in Washington
and perform their duty in voting the
infamous Civil Rights Bill, and Colo
mel H. M. Street, moved to table this
resolution, and you and "Mr. Ran
dolph," the negro republican leader
of the lower house of the Legislature
at that time, voted against this mo-
ton to table? And the record shows,
Judge, that when Senator Alcorn, in
response to this resolution returned
to Washington, but refused to vote
for the Civil Rights Bill, that another
resolution was offered and passed
the Mississippi Lower House of the
Legislature asking Senator Alcorn
to resign.
1t might be well, Judge, that we
state who Mr.. M. B. Sullivan was
the gentleman" who offered the re-
solution and which you SO ably sup
ported.
1t is generally known that this man
Sullivan was white man, who prior
to and during the war, drove a hack
in the city Of Chicago and was en-
gagged in questionable business.
After the war he came to Mississippi
and settled in Bolivar County and
turned statesman, as a means of a
livelihood. On the night that this
resolution passed the lower house Of
the Legislature, Governor Ames gave
the members of the Legislature a
blow out at the Mansion, and it
seems that Horace Greedy, who at
that time, was the editor Of the New
York Tribune, had sent bunch Of
correspondents to the Southern

the reports of several bicycle riders
being struck by autos reach the sta
ton and something has to be done
to curb these accidents.

Nfhtted iitneys from operating on

chased BICYCLES and they now ride
them to and from work When the

The above ordinance treats hi
cycles The same as an automobile
