This Week in
Thought and Religion
By Robert L. Moody
The Temperance Problem

1t has been quite inspiring an
convenient to follow the trend o
our current Sunday school studies
Our present thought deals will
the old subject of Temperance
We readily think of drinking liquor
and strong drinks. We do have
specific reference to the liquor evil
but generally we include all forms
Of indulgent behayiar when we say
Temperance"
In recent years we have repeal
ed what was known as "prohibi-
tion." This repeal has had its good
results and its bad ones. We are
not primarily concerned with these
tions' who are sons of God should
results but rather whether Chris
patronize legal or bootlegged sa-
looms.
The good effect Of repeal is that
people should be free to do right
or do wrong. This freedom has
shown up the moral courage of
many protested Christians. Many
probably refused drink during pro
hibition because it was against
state laws, or fear of being caught
slip unseen into these places.
The burden of this article is to
both appeal and announce hat no
true Christian drinks Intoxicating
liquor or practices any form of in
temperant conduct. This stands true
regardless to what church organi-
zation he or she claims to belong,
for 'he that committeth sin is of
the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this pur-
rose the Son of God was manifest
ed, that He might destroy the
works Of the devil. Whoseever is
BORN of God do not commit sin. In
his the children of God are mani
fest and the children of the devil;
Whosoevr doeth not righteousness
S not of God" I John 3:8-10.
We are taught "be not drunk
With wine wherein is excess; but be
filltd with the Spirit" Eph. 5:18.
No two objects can occupy the same
iody at the same time nor same
pace, neither can a Christian be
Tiled with the Spirit of God and
be filled with the intoxicants. Whe-
her you are free to buy WHISTLES
Or not, let the sinners have your
space in the saloons and %taverns.

of 'em don't know anything
about what it is that they are
gonna fix, but they say it is
great stuff to fix it. And they

And if something they are

And some Of the pereo.,- r.

They just start some new spasm

Highly significant was an cpl
sode occurring on the last day in

crat Of Pennsylvania, has openly
suggested that the President use7
his influence TO defeat Democratic
senators opposing his measures in
TIE next primaries. Four senator's
rose and poured, in the words Of
an AP dispatch, walls Of contempt
md danunciation' upon Senator
Gufrey. The four were Senator's

they disagree ON many issues, are
considered to be among the ablest

Houston Carrier Is
Restored To Job

Houston, Tex, Sept. arthur
S. Hames, veteran letter carrier of
this city, has been reinstated fol-
lowing persistent efforts in his be-
half by w. j. Johnson, a white at
torney here, the Houston branch
of the NAACP, and the National
Alliance of Postal Employees.
Of all the fantastic frameup
charges which are brought against
many colored postal employees of
the country, the charge against
Hames was the most ridiculous. It
Was said that he stole five samples
of chewing gum out of envelopes
and ehewed the gum himself in
stead of delivering it to the people
ito whom it was addressed. The al
legged "crime" is said to have oe-
Cured June 13, 1895, and Hames
was dismissed from the service as
of May %, 1896. The "proof" of
the crime" was that gum wrap
pers had been found on. the side
walk and in a vacant lot near a
white public school. Hames is sup
posed to have been seen tearing
the wrappers off the gum and put
ting it in his mouth at the spot
indicated.
Hames was never arrested, in
dicted, or tried in federal court and
no charge was ever preferred
against him for alleged "theft of
mail"
The whole story is a long one of
intense persecution of Hames dat
ing back many years. The real
reason was that Hames originally
passed the examination for postal
clerk twice and was assigned sub
stitute clerical work during a holt
lay mail rush. When the rush was
over, however, he was called in
and informed that it was an UNI
written law at the Houston post
)ffice that no Negro could serve
Is a clerk. He was then transferred
70 carrier duty without an examin-
alton.
Resentment of one white en-
oloyee over the fact that Hames
nee worked as a substitute clerk
With him caused this white en-
oloyee, after securing a promotion,
20 "make it hard" on Hames in
very possible way. A relative of
his white employee lived on Hames
route and it was this relative who
manufactured the cock-and bull
tory about the gum wrappers.
Attorney Johnson was rebuffed
repeatedly by the post office de-
partment in Washington which told
him it would not reopen the Hames
case. However, Mr.. Johnson ran
down every so-called piece of evi
dence against Hames and secured
affidavits from the gum company
and the people on the route which
proved that they had the gum
through the mails. He also proved
that the chief government witness
who declared he had seen Hames
the gum out of the mail,
employed on an oil truck dur
ing the day and could not have seen
Hames making his deliveries. With
these affidavits before Them and
the backing of the NAACP and the
the post department finally
consented to reopen the case and
then Notified Hames of his rein
statement.

Association annual convention by flip
ping mud on Promoter Mike jacobs
monopolistic tactics, illustrating the
evils that could occur If a fistic czar
is created.
JACOBS hardly is quivering, or even
slightly jittery over the matter.
At the present moment the amazing
New York promoter undeniably is Mr..
Boxing. Things will be altered II
the voice in the wilderness succeeds,
since the N. B. A.. at the suggestion
of the local group, seeks to nullify
the contracts through which Jacobs
obtains exclusive services of fighters.
The local commission has
taken the attitude of "better
commission be dead than i'm
potent"
Conditions here probably are more
conducive to honest boxing than any,
where in the fistic realm. Thus far
the District commission has garnered
about as much glory as blocking
back, but some day it may be allowed
to carry the ball.
The District commission rules over
the smallest area in fistiana, but, by
the same token. it functions more
smoothly Possibly there have been
occasional crooked fights here. but the
risk is greater. Some day the baby
may vail loud enough to create con-
siderable trouble. 1t may be spanked,
but, on the other hand, it may spank
questionable characters in the national
realm.

FOX IS TOO CLEVER
FOR CAPITAL HUNT
Riders, Hounds Fail to Run
Down Charley in Meet at
Normandy Farm.

"HE Riding and Hunt Club held
its opening meet of the formal
fox-hunting season yesterday
Il at Normandy farm, near
Potomac, Md. where a field of ap-
proximately so riders gathered to be
led forth by DR.. Fred Sanderson and
Harry Semmes, joint M. F. H. of the
pack
After short hack to a covert near
Glen road hounds were cast and
they shortly started a fox which
persisted in sticking to the big woods,
turning the chase into game of
round and round the mulberry bush
for about half an hour.
Hounds Get Exercise.
A FTER making more reverse spins
than a light-footed halfback,
hounds were lifted and cast again in
a covert near the Dossett farm. This
time Charley broke into the open in
full view of the field, made quick
turn east with hounds in full cry
after him, and led them on a brief,
but hot run until they came to loss.
Meanwhile members of the field
who were doing bit of hill-topping
nearby viewed another fox that had
been stirred into the open, although
this line was not picked up. Finding
again on the original line, the pack
drove back toward the Clagett farm,
but came up short at loss after a
short burst.
Fox Too Tricky.
HAVING been out for about three
= hours and having seen so many
foxes that some one suggested the
pursued might be ganging up on the
pursuers, the riders turned homeward
and adjourned to Freres farm, where
a hunt tea was given by the masters.
Among those in the field were Maj.
Gen. Leon B. KRONER, chief of
cavalry; Col. t. j. Johnson, chief of
the United States Army Remount
Service; Maj. Frank Whitaker, man.
