CIGARETTES UNDER THE BAN. The Madisonian congratulates the good people of Monroe in the cam paign they are waging against the deadly cigarette. We believe that the cigarette habit is distroying the health, lives and character of more young men all over the country than the drink habit. Why not let us wage a campaign in Madison against the cigarette? Can’t the good people of Madison get together on this matter, and by united efforts banish the cigarette from our city? Can’t we create a sentiment against sell ing them to minors? As we under stand it, it is a violation of law to sell cigarettes to anyone under 21 years of age, and yet this law is be ing daily violated in our midst. It is time for fathers and mothers in Madison to wake up on this import ant question. —Madison Madisonian, The anti-cigarette ordinance was requested of the pity council of Mon roe because the ministers, the local Woman’s Temperance Union and others saw that the habit was work ing great harm to the youth of the town, and thought that such a law would at least lessen the evil. The ordinance is not the result of any fanatical idea or unreasonable ex pectations, but was requested and passed in the hope that it might be of some benefit to those who are addicted to the habit in this town. Os course the conditions are no worse here than elsewhere. Our people were just a little in advance of other towns —that’s all. —Monroe Tribune. The ladies of the Woman’s Chris tian Temperance Union of this city are circulating a petition addressed to the Mayor and Council praying that they take the matter in hand and do something, if it is ever so little, to stop the scourge of dope and nicotine. Why do we say dope? Because the manufacturers put a drug in cigarettes to make the child ren form the dreadful habit, which twines around their helpless bodies and z souls like a poisonous reptile. /The ladies should have a dozen of these, petititions, andjshould circu late them with energy. The trouble with them is that they are too easily discouraged. When a man refuses to sign this petition, they can’t un derstand it, and lose heart. One good lady told us that Mr. had refused, and she was consider ably wilted over -the fact. There was one thing she didn’t know —a little thing,but it counts: That man sells cigs 'ettes himself. So do t get discouraged. You have reli \n, right, the home, and the salvation of childhood on your side, and with these, can’t you afford to ask the city Fathers to help you? So go ahead, good sisters; you do the talking and praying, and we will promise to sit up with the Mayor and Council and keep them awake. A Modern Father. Here is a contributed joke that we approve of, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The joke is old, but our cor respondent has taken the trouble to put it into new words instead of copying it directly from the almanac: ‘’Sweetheart, before we elope, I must think of everything. Every thing is ready—don't you think we would better fly before your papa awakens and follows us?” ‘‘Oh. no. Robert! There’s no tear ing hurry, really. Papa said he’d be ■sure to give us a good two hours’ start!” Changing the Rules. I A man who had been ailing for 'some time visited a new doctor, says the Cleveland Leader. After exam ining him and listening to an account of his symptoms the doctor said: “If you follow these rules I’ve writ ten down, you’ll soon be well.” “But I've been following them for a year.” replied the man after he had read them. ‘'They’re the same my old doctor recommended.” •‘Hand them over and I'll give you some others.” Suggestive. Rastus was ill and the physician i was visiting him. according to the < Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘■What yo’flt’ink is demattah wif < nie. doc.tah?” be asked. i “Oh. nothing much. " said the doc tor. ‘‘Only a slight case of chicken- i pox.” 1 Rastus grew nervous. “I 'elare doctah.” he said, earnest ly, “I hain't been nowhar whar I ould ketch dat!” 1 LOGK, LISTEN. MO HIE. I I Editor Eagle: Facts are stubborn things, far too stubborn for anything but a square i look and a strong grip. Face the following facts and get a good grip I on them: Man’s first duty is to seek God — get his heart right with God and man. His life should be clean be fore God and man. Every stain and blot should be erased. His robe of life should be white. We are commanded to be perfect, even as our Father which is in Heav en is perfect. God saves man through human instrumentality. Christ told His dis ci pies, Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. In other words, men are saved through the Christian influ ence of professors of religion. If they lose their piety, though they may still remain in the church in full fellowship, and hold the title of a Christian, yet they bear watching. Ye are like a city set on a hill. Man is in a conspicuous place, like a city. He should be shown, and is shown, to the world. Example is better than precept. Christ came to set us an example, that we should walk in His steps. We are setting others examples. On every corner of life the public are looking for an example. Men are inclined to pattern after their examples—in other words, do like somebody else. Our sons and daughters need the best influence thrown around them. Men, in their sinful nature, are like sheep gone astray. They need some one to bring them back and plant their feet on the solid rock, Christ Jesus. How is this done? How can it be done? By the good influence of Christian people of the various churches of their communi ties. Every son and daughter of the Prophets is an example. The seekers of examples are peo ple who want examples, indeed and in truth in its truest sense. Men are tired of talked religion, put on, only from the lips out, that never reaches the heart—always professing and never possessing— always claiming and never owning —always resolving and never doing —always worshiping God at church and serving Baal. at home, in our private, social, and every-day life. What we need is people filled with the Spirit of God in the truest sense of the word —men that are men in deed and in truth —men that will stand by the church and Sunday school and help support their insti tutions—men that will act every day alike —men that are good today, to morrow, next day, and all the. time —not good on Sunday and bad on Monday. We need men that are consistent —their every day walk alike. Then there will be changes made on every hand, and our churches would not rot down and their roofs cave in on account of the lack of attention. Instead of reading our daily news on God’s holy day, men would support the church and Sunday schools by giving their pres ence. Every congregation on Sun day morning and at night would be largely attended. The Sunday schools wouid be on a boom. We wouldn’t hear so much talk about the Sunday schools dragging. Par erfts would nob allow tneir children to loaf the street-i and woods on Sunday. On the other hand, par ents would dress their children and carry them to church and Sunday school. Our boys would not grow up in ignorance of churcii and Sunday' schoolwork. They wou.dn’t know I so much about blockading, drinking] whisky, using revolvers, going to i dances, theaters, shows, baseball' games, card pa: ties, pool rooms, throwing dice, collecting on street* coiners and telling yarns, meeting Sunday trains, taking long fro.ick iug Sunday buggy-rides, and going I to soda iouutains and drinking ‘-oca cola aad other stuff of the kind. After awhile,with all the unneces sary exposure they get, they break down in health. The doctor says it is tuberculosis, rheumatic trouble, or something else J but it could have I been avoided if all parties concerned had lived a different life-- And this is not all. It is said in the Word of God, “Ye are the light of the world.” But, reader, if our light Is gone out, and our life is darkened, how great is the dark ness ! At the rate we are now living.who will fill the places that are now be ing filled by the older people of to- i day? Sometimes some of us come short of out duty. Look at men on elec- ; tion day: Some of them will sell out very cheap. Some men can be bought with most anything, from a . drink of whisky up. Is that some body you or me? Look who they i will elect: men who will drink whis ky, get drunk, curse and swear. This type of men are put in office as I mayors and houncilmen and ollw 'offices of town,'county, and St,mV. Men who are guilty of crime theftl • selves are set- up to judge and Pun ish criminals. Many of our print eV l ly officers will be bought, and boug jt • cheap. They will work for part ; money, and for friends, regardle -s I of truth and righteousness. But I am glad that not all of oil’ officers and citizers are of this type. Many of them will work for truth and justice, regardless of money, relatives, or friendship. We will use Sheriff Spencer forjan illustration. I have never in,all iuy life seen a man that worked so fai n fully to get the right criminal, re gardless of party or whose kinfol ?s. He goes at it mildly and calmly! to get the right offender. We saw t >is demonstrated only a short time a io. The public remembers how faithl al ly he worked to get to the bottom of the murdering, that was done at < iur own doors —at the doors of Belli in, Georgia. He feed to find the i?al murderer —$he fcuilty person. *] he public how kind ®nd sympathetic hexwas. He din’t wit to accwse’Hhe wrong person, so|he wprked faithfully to get the guihy. While others were trying to convict the innocent of murder, he took it all fair and easy, trying to find the guilty. We are glad to say that others that were helping hirh were* of the same spirit, doing what they could to find the guilty, and. not al low the innocent to have to suiter in stead of the guilty. \ We are glad to say to the public many other officers are of the semi type of Sheriff Spencer. We oalv mention him because we have jlift seen his spirit shown in ouf 6>n presence, in our own town, an|ffiit our own doors. 'Many others arg as true as the ones that assisted in fijid iug the murderers. We only have reference to these two-sided people—these all sorts of people, that will work any Way> tell anything, and do anything, regard less of truth, justice, and righteous ness. Many of them are members of the various churches. They all claim to be civilized —in a couniry; but really can any m«j truthfully claim the M title of civilizaA tion unless he will tell the truth/ swear the truth when he is put ion the stand, act honest withyall Afen, and stand up for justice regardless of party, money, frWmjF ship, or kinship. ’ Two-sided people are whether in the church, in political or in the world. Men are tired or hypocrisy. We have all played that game long: enough. Reader, Sve need to reform; the best of us need to imf rove. I , The best thing that can be djpe for ourselves and all concerned is for all people, nations, and kind rod to consolidate in mind, spirit, and pur pose, as the people of Nineveh at the preaching of Jonah, and the Apos-, ties on the Day of Pentecost, and* pray for a reformation to take place in our own hearts, communities, counties, States, and the. world at large. ' This is the command/ of God: “Preach the gospel to every crea ture.” Let’s not be babes in Christ any longer. Let’s be_tnen,. We ha4e played with religion long enougm, We have been making oilt like we were Christians too long. Let’s get down to business, so men will know who we are, what we are, and what we will do. We have halted be tween two opinions long enough. If we are for God, let us say so by our Christian life. If we are for Baal, lot’s say so. Let’s be what we are, so men will know where to placets. Go.l’s Holy Book says He would we were cold or hot; and because^we are neither cold nor hot, He I spew us out of His mouth. ? I So .God wants men to be what tljdy |ar •. God wants men to have only j on i side, and He wants that side; to be good. / A great deal of talking is d me today about prosperity, institu tions, Methodism, baptism, and all kinds of isms. But the best ism We should study or. desire is a good sup ply of Holy Ghost baptism. Talk about good roads, paved streets and marble sidewalks! These make a desirable tovfn or commujuty. .Neither do thtiy mould character;' '* It takes a townjor ' community with good, neat churches and school houses, that are kept in good repair, where God’s people meet for worship; where they have a burningzeal for the Sunday school; where the members of the church and people at large are in love and charity with each other,- and will 1 pass and repass with each other, all parties intending to lead a new lil>, following the commandments «f | God, walking in the same all t!4 r days of their lives. | ( In days gone by it was an honor Ky a man to be a member of the church. Men could get credit that were men - ’ bers of the church, when no otheis could. Today it is not so. Mei have departed from God and Hs statutes, and have got into the idei 1 that I belong to the church and havi. 1 been baptized, so it doesn’t make s> f much difference what I say or do—l t Will be saved anyway. And they are teaching this idea to their children (some of us) by words, actions, and conduct. God wants busy people. We are taught in the Word of God to do His will. “He that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them. I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house upon a rock.” God wants people that will do something. Reader, we have talked what ought to be done long enough, and have done nothing. For Christ’s sake and humanity’s sake, let’s get out of our idleness and get busy. Then men will know us. Then we will have influence-for good, in church, in to>’m/commuuity, and State. f ' SincereSynlyqftirs, . -y A* ffifUzen c* Hellton.
