for tolerance—that cry is for political

under the garb of our tolerance set
up the Roman Catholic institution for

of Rome.

been tried—and the party was torn

A GREAT EDITOR GONE
Southern newspapers just now m;e
giving much space fo the life and
career of the late C. P. J. Mooney,
editor of the Commercial Appeal at
Memphis, He died last week—died
at his desk where his last cditorial
had just been written. This wag a
strong defense of morals and religion.
It so dealt with Henry (. Wells as
to cause vs to stop and read. This
dend editor thought about this writer
so nearly What we think that we
ave moved to spend some time upon
it. But first to the other features.
~ Characteristic of Mr. Mooney’s at
titude on religion ang morals was
lhis last editorial which appeared in
the Commercial-Appeal Sungay, the
day before death seized him, a doublé‘
column, ten-point declaration .\mdvr:
the heading: "“‘A? Species of Mmlm‘ni
Writing."” i, g R
In this, his final uxpresshin.: Mr.
Mooney attacked what he lnrlfiefi the
tendency of modern magazine gwx;iters_
‘aud novelists to assail the t:hur(;.li ang
to proclaim the decadence of n‘liixinus
institutions. Recug‘ni;ed as a cham
pion of fundamentalists’ beliefs, Mr.
Mooney probably would have declined
to enlist himself under the banner of
lcaders of that group.
The “tendency” he noted is a re
action, he believed, “from the sharp
fight of two years ago when there
was a contest between the forces of
the strict and the liberal interrreta
tion of the scriptures.” He deplored
the use of the terms fundamentalist

(and modernist tc gistinguish the op
lppsing groups.
“The modernist created a popular
limpression that a fundamentalist was
an ignorant reactionary,” the last pub
lished sentiment of the Memphis edit
or explained. “Many_fundamentalists
ingisted that the modernist was a
thorough atheist.
“A fundamentalist may be progress
‘'ve and a modernist may believe in
the inspiration of the scriptures and
personal diety.
“The line of leave hetween the hon
est people on both gides wag not
lsharp, but most of the pecple on
[each side became angry. They bhe
igan to call each other names and
a lot of ignorant people on both sidc;
‘began to write. A lot of smart-aleck
intellectual flappers took the maod
ernism end because in that they shcw
a mental pertness and flippancy.” |
Turning to the novelists, Mr. Moon-;
ey devoted the greater part of hi.‘l:
last editorial to H. G. Wells, whom
he called, “the Babbitt of modern%
literature.” He assailed the moral
tone of the English writer's recent{
work. \
“This man talks about religion asi
if it Svére a worn-out and worthlegs
thing,” Mooney said of Wells.',‘.‘lle‘
tafks about the ‘r‘élMion"M'hleni with
women as if meén’'and wormeh wcr_e;
oily fine animald. Hig world would
be cne without creed or religion, one
Without marriage, or at'least one in
‘whith the desive of 'sox is superior
fo all regulations.”
The average literary critic, M.
Mooney said, woulq not object to
these things which he objected to,i
but accept Wells' moral or rcligious!
views as a matter of course. 1
“The disheartening thing about Mr.‘
Wells’ book,” the editor cnntinued,l
“jg that he ig stupidly placid in his
views—This is the attilude of mind
‘of most of the authors who would
do away with old customs, old morals,
old religion and the old God.
“'l‘lley know little more than the
average man, bat they assume to
fmow much.
{. “Yet when these (authors’) offer
inzs are carvefully analyzeq and their
veal content is reduced to actual
%?g;lalfi‘é?n"ont it will be found that
‘tslm result—the sum total—is made up
:gf ignorance, vanity and conceit.
‘\' “It will be found often that thei
writer, conscious ‘of some defect in
:his own make-up, seeks to gratify his
feeling of seli-csteem by urging that
thig defcet is common to many.”
~ Mr. Mooney, pointing to the as
lsemhles of religious (lepomiuatimml
and institutions, announced their con-i
tinued growth in numbers of commu-l
nicants and in World influence despite
the attacks of so-called “intollcctu-l
als.

principally from that territory, there

we cannot expect to enjoy a very
large business.
“On Wednesday of this week there
was a large meeting in St. Louis of
representatives from the cotton belt
and from the western corn fields;

[hoth crowds with cne idea and that
to have congress p;'xss some legisla
tion to help the prices of cotton and
corn. It ig the writer’s idea that
congress and the government cannot
centrel or affect the prices of com
modities. We therefore have never
entertained very much hope of con
ditions heing remedied through legiz
lation.
“We, however, heartily subscribe
to the propaganda now heing put out
in the south to increase the popula
tion of live stock and chickens cn the
farms. We saw the other day where
according to ‘statistics 56 percent of
the southern farms have not one pig

cow, and 24 percent not a chicken.!

rests the future of the southland. It‘g
each farm in the south had some’
pigs, a cow and an allotment of
chickens, it would soon make a dir-l
ference in the presperity of that ter-§
ritory. i
“Ag an illustration of what gfmdi
can be done, we take pleasure in call-!
ing attention to what was done over |
in one of the counties in Mississ;ippil
last spring. The banks in the county |
got together and organized a Boys_‘{

You who live in the south and k:mv-:’
the work mnecessary for the raising
of a hale of cotton will apprcciate
the wsignificance of the price of that

“You will undoubtedly hear more
ahout the above figures as we un
derstand that the papers throughout
the south intend to encourage the
raising of live stock and chickens on‘
the southern farms.” ‘
