THE
NEW
POLITICAL FRACAS IN
YORK STATE.
At this writing - New York state has a
dual government. Governor Sulzer holds
or manages one set of officials and Lieu
tenant Governor Glynn holds another set
ander his direction.
New York state is the largest state
n the union, as to wealth and popula
tion. It boasts of greater commercial
facilities than other states. It has age,
experience and is known better than ant
other state over two hemispheres.
In spite of its commercial progress
And its magnificent opportunities and :
world-wide reputation, the political con
ditions prevailing in New York state are*
simply’ preposterous.
With men of intellect, probity and ex
perience all over the state, the business
of this great commonwealth is being
pulled about by a man who has no
fecommendation for public office what
ever. His following are men of the same
cflass, and the treasury is at the mercy
of this unreliable set of politicians. New
York state is made helpless by the gang
that rules in New Y’ork City and the
whole country is watching the contest
between two factions of Tammany poli
ticians and disgusted at the scuffle. And
It is by no means certain that the worst
gang will not rule and ruin in the end.
Character has gone out of all such
politics. No matter what happens, bad
men are powerful because they are suf
ficiently bad to be managed by graft
money.
Good people are not wanted.
To be available the bad man giust be
lettered or placarded, and none others
need apply.
When I think of Tammany and its
bold front at the Baltimore convention,
and its. indifference to the abuse that
a patriot would scorn to endure, it does
seem as if there must be a graft center,
a bribe center and vice center in the
metropolitan city of this union, that will
corrupt, and. degrade the entire federal
will question their responsibility as
parents to their offspring.
They will indulge in illicit intercourse
with women, and if by accident a, baby
is born, the unhappy mother is given
all the blame and yet that father has
been heartless enough to condemn his
own offspring to a life of shame, degra
dation and poverty.
She, poor sinner, must go through
life tagged with her disgrace and he can
go abroad to hunt up some other silly,
pretty creature to seduce and ruin. In
slavery times white men would doom
their own offspring to the slave market
by illicit intercourse with their own
slave. women. Unfit parents are the bane
of the various races of human kind,

UNFIT FATHERS.
With so much said and written about
the unfit mothers of this country, the
time would seem to be ripe for a few
words as to unfit fathers.
It is the general rule, with some ex
ceptions. that young people mate for
passion and not for love or desire for
children. Children come into life as a
sequence, not as a primal motive.
Royalty seeks heirs to the crown, but
the majority—the great majority of the
children are not longed for and are en
dured because it cannot be helped!
Modern life is not exploited for the
sake of the offspring. If it was otherwise
fathers would be diligent as to caring
for their own clean lives and the avoid
ance of filthy personal habits that ev
eryone knows are handed down to pos
terity a? a lineal inheritance.
While unfit mothers are continually
lectured as to their home duties—these
unfit fathers steep themselves in nico
tine (and too often drink), and no one

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Intended
as a harbinger of woman’s political
emancipation, Senator Jones, of Wash-
! ington state, has offered a bill setting
1 aside a space in the proposed plaza be-
! tween the capitol and the Union station
solely for the raising of statues and
memorials to women. He would have
it. known as the “partheno.”
“I suppose they’ll be erecting statues
to the inventor of the bloomers and lat
ter day slitskirt,” sneered an anti-suf
fragist house member “It will be a
pretty sight—a lot of female statuary
all in a clump. Those who don’t mis
take it for a marble reproduction of a
fashionable young ladies’ seminary out
for a walk will think its a female
burying ground.”
Senator Jones is earnest in his pro
posal. however, and he has the support
of other members of congress who come
from suffragist states. Any way the
bill has been introduced.

MR. BRYAN’S BLUNDER.
Mr. Bryan’s statement that he
“found it necessary to supplement the
salary which he receives from the gov
ernment—that salary being insufficient
to cover his expenses”—has greatly per
plexed the minds of his friends and
given a cudgel to the hands of his op
ponents to belabor him in the future.
He is paid $1,000 a month by the gov
ernment to fill the office of secretary of
stsltc, considerably more than twice as
much as Daniel Webster received for
the same service, and the people are
wondering where and how he feels
obliged to spend such a large sum as
expenses.
He accepted the office and the salary
and it is his manifest duty to stay in
daily service so long as he gets the
enormous amount of $33 1-3 per diem,
Sundays included, as a member of Pres
ident Wilson’s cabinet. If his expenses
(and it is understood to be living ex
penses) cannot be held down to that
figure, he should in justice to the presi
dent’s administration, resign and follow
chautuaqua work entirely.
It is not fair to Mr. Wilson and very
unfair to 'the people to accept a public
office and then neglect its duties.
If he was engaged to a Chautauqua
bureau at so much a night or so much
a lecture and failed to appear because he
found the pay inadequate to his expenses
his resignation would be quickly asked
for. A doctor or a lawyer who took a
retainer to serve a patient or a client
by the month or year and failed to
give requisite attention would be quick
ly dismissed.
It is rank injustice to the people of
the United States who are paying Mr.
Bryan’s salary of $12,000 per year to
find him engaged in other work for
which he is again recompensed in big
fees, and which compels his absence
from his desk in Washington.
It has flung a cloud on Mr. Bryan’s
patriotism and those who have fol
lowed him during the last sixteen years
and who have believed him to be a
friend of the struggling classes of the
country are disillusioned as to his real
motives or intentions in his salary
ideas.
It is surely a blunder!

The feud was Silly. Each woman in

in houses side by side and raise their

children with the benefit of the other’s
counsel. »
Three years later they were married.
They each had a baby girl a year old,
and when they passed on the streets of
the small city where they had grown up
together Anna Jerrod’s brilliant brown
eyes snapped with something perilously
like hate and Belle Tracy tilted her
pretty white chin to an angle that ex
pressed absolute scorn. And they did
not speak.
Each had a pretty cbttage—Anna in
the north end of town, Belle in the
south. Their husbands were casually
civil, neither having any dislike for
the other, but each debarred from mak
ing a friendly advance by his wife’s
attitude. Will Jerrod had been born in
the town and grown up with the two
girls. Everett Tracy had come in three
years before to take charge of the new
lumber yards. Will Jerrod was an
architect.
Each man made a comfortable but not
luxurious living. Anna knew that her
parlor was furnished about the same
style as Belle’s. Belle knew that w-hile
her piano cost a hundred dollars more
than Anna’s, Anna had better rugs. They
moved, in the same set. but hostesses
learned not to put them at the same
card table.
“They don’t speafc. you know,” Mrs.
Gillett, wife of the bank cashier, ex
plained w-earily as for the seventh time
she arranged the places at her dinner
table so that neither Will nor Belle nor
Anna nor Everett should be next*%r face
the other.
“Why?” asked the girl from another
town who was visitingr her.
“No one knows. And' they won’t tell.”
Of course they wouldn’t tell. Each
And after that neither would make an
advance.
Every week made the breach wider.
The months hurried into years. And
it remained. Each suffered, but neither
would have admitted it for the world.
Then the little girls were born. Each
looked furtively at the other baby and
was glad and proud that her own was
the prettier. The babies grew, became
three years old, five and six years old,
and started to school. By that time
the Tracys had moved north to be near
the lumber yard, so the children attend
ed the same school. Both were pretty
little girls who resembled their mothers,
and both kept the remainder of the
school in a ferment of envy over their
clothes. Dainty lace frilled dresses,
white bucltsin shoes, hair ribbons—Anna
was determined that her child should
outshine Belle’s and Belle was equally
: determined that she shouldn’t.
The teachers frowned thoughtfully In
private. The effect upon the other chil
dren, whose mothers had not the same
money or the same spirit, was not good.
One, younger and more impulsive than
the others, threatened at a teachers’
meeting to write plainly to Mrs. Jerrod
and Mrs. Tracy just what she thought
of them. But the others dissuaded her.
The years went on. Small Anna strut
ted to school a pretty picture. Small
Belle was a little peacock, and preened
herself with frank conceit. Both were
pretty, and when they were playing fast
and hard forgot vanity. Then they were
simply two gay children, spoiled, but
favorites in the playground, as their
mothers had been in that same play
ground twenty years before.
And while each at times reflected the
parental attitude, at times they forgot,
and, by some inborn affinity, sought each
other’s company and exhibited great sat
isfaction in it.

They met one afternoon on a de
serted side street as they passed the
high board fence of a vacant square of
ground much in demand by the school
children. It was time for the 3:30
dismissal, and each had come that way
to meet her small daughter.
Anna’s brown eyes, not so young as
they had been ten years before, but
still brilliant, flashed haughtily.
Belle’s chin, fuller and having lost some
of its young, soft curve, was lifted su
perciliously. They swished past each
other just as a shrill voice floated from
the other side of the fence:
"Say, Belle, all you have to do is to
tell your mamma that I’ve got a brace
let and she'll get you one right away.”
The words were consolingly toned.
Anna looked about quickly as she rec
ognized her daughter’s voice.
"I shouldn’t wonder,” small Belle re-
pied in a calculating voice. "And you
can work the same dodge for a new par
asol. Get a pink one as long as I got a
blue. Then we can trade part of the
time, and It’ll be the same as having
two.”
It was Belle's turn to start and crane
up to the top of the fence. Both women
bad involuntarily paused. "The little
wretch!” said Belle. “And using slang,
too!”
”1 never knew that Anna guessed!”
gasped Anna's mother. “Why, they’re
growing up!” She eyed Belle in panic.

DOZEN AFTER JOB OF
WAYCROSS POSTMASTER
“What is the Almighty that we should ; his freedom, and that, therefore, he can the forces of nature and denying

serve him? and what profit should
we have, if we pray unto him?” (Job
xxi; 15). That sounds modern enough
for the use of those in our times who
doubt the existence of a personal God
a d question the efficacy of prayer.
In another book found in the Old
Testament, we read of the singular
view of God held by the Syrians, who
said of Jehovah, “The Lord is God of
the hills, but he is not God of the val
leys,” referring to the divine ability to
deliver the Israelites when they occu
pied high ground and the inability of
the Almighty to do any thing for his
people when they fought on low ground.
This seems to be the theology of the
» present Governor of the state of Kan
sas.
The press dispatches report that
many people asked this Governor to
pr-claim a day of prayer for rain in
view of the blasting heat and blighting
drought which has been prevailing in
“The Sun-Flower State”; but he re
fused to accede to their request, saying,
“I believe in the efficacy of prayer,
but not in the case of flood or drout
Now, one con understand a man who
doubts altogether the efficacy of pray
er, however one may differ with such
a doubter; but what sort cf belief in
a prayer-hearing God is that which de
nies that prayer to him is of any value
in a time of flood or drought? A God
of that kind is certainly not to be de
sired in Kansas, where floods prevail
in winter and droughts follow^ in sum
mer.
But the Governor of Kansas has
plainly expressed a theory of prayer
which many others hold without tell
ing it. They believe in a sort of en-
fee .ed God, who is equal to doing lit-
• tie things, but who can not be depended
upon in great emergencies. There are
theologians, claiming to be men of
“advanced thought,” who are eVer try
ing to minimize the supernatural in the
Scriptures; they wish to retain the
miracles, provided they may reier them
to somewhat natural causes. For ex
ample, they can not believe that God
«... lJed the Red Sea and the Jordan
by miraculous intervention for the de
liverance of Israel, but they would ex-
pl'in that ordinary winds dried the
Red Sea tolerably dry about the time
the fleeing Hebrews reached the place,
do little miracles, but not big ones;
that he might dry up a spring-branch,
but would find a sea or a swollen river
too much for him.
These same men talk much of what
they are pleased to call “the subjective
benefits of prayer”, by which they seem
to mean that when one prays to God
he gets nothing out of his prayer except
a submissive spirit in his own bosom
by which he is prepared to accept with
out murmuring the inevitable. For any
objective benefit, outside a man’s own
breast, they deny the efficacy of prayer.
Whatever may be true of all this the
orizing, it is utterly at variance with
everything we are taught in the Scrip
tures concerning prayer; and it is such
that no human soul can rest in it at all
in moments of trial. When men pray
at all, they pray expecting that their
supplications will be heard and that
blessings will be obtained beyond the
mere composing of their own troubled
hearts. They cry with the Psalmist,
“God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble.” They do not
believe that they are helpless victims
of fate, but the children of a loving
Father whose ears are open unto their
cries.
The wide-spread fatalism of our day
accounts for the prayerlessness of many
people; and it explains most of the com
mon objections to prayer. It is sup
posed by some that fatalism has been
overthrown and expelled from philoso
phy; but this is a great mistake. Mod
ern materialism is fatalistic to the core;
and some/preachers who denounce in the
pulpit predestination, embrace more
than even the hyper-Calvanists believe
when fatalism comes to them clothed in
scientific terms. They talk glibly of
heredity and environment, and view
even the history of mankind as a fated
movement running down “the ringing
grooves of time”. They really leave no
place in thought for the fact of human
freedom, let alone faith in a free God.
There is not an objection to prayer,
as the subject is taught in the Scrip
tures, which can stapd for a moment if
we believe in a personal God who is
free, merciful, and powerful. But many
men nave lost faith in a personal God,
and have really deified natural pro
cesses. For example, it is said that Mr.
Andrew Carnegie was in Scotland a few

the existence of a free God, while posing
as philosophers and scientists.
But a free God still lives, and reigns,
and hears the prayers of them who seek
him aright. We may properly pray to
him for ain and sunshine, health and
happiness, or whatsoever is proper for
good people to desire. Our God is not
over-powered by floods or droughts,
as the befuddled Governor of Kansas
vainly imagines. He is not handicapped
by the natural world which he created.
Moreover, the privilege of prayer
does not belong to men of extraordinary
ability only; it isc the privilege of our
common humanity. This is the thought
of St. James when he says, “Elias was
a man subject to like passions as we
are, and he prayed earnestly, that it
might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three years
and six months. And he prayed again,
and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit”. (James v:17
and 18). Wherefore, St. James concludes
that “the effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much”; and out
side of the history of Elias there are
abundant instances of effectual prayer
to vindicate the correctness of the con
clusion of the Apostle.
Let men talk as they will, they are
going to pray. There is not a man
in all our land so sceptical and so wickr
ed that he would be willing to sell his
privilege of prayer or to pledge him
self never to pray again. Therefore saith
the Psalmist. “O thou that hearest
prayer unto thee shall all flesh come”.
(Pslams lxv:12). Walking and working
in a world in which we are beset with
trials and sorrows on every side, we
cannot cease to pray, nor turn away
from the mercy of our heavenly Fa
ther.
As long as men believe in God at all.
they will continue to pray to the God
in whom they believe. Says Guizott
“The universal and invincible instinct
which leads man to prayer is in har
mony with this great fact: he who be
lieves in God can not but have re
course to him and pray to him”. A
prayerless world would be a godless
world, in which no man of sense would
wish to live. The modern world, with
all its progres. whether real or imag
inary progress, can no more dispense
with prayer than the ancient world in
which saints were plentiful and money
more scarce than in our day.
Thomas Carlyle was a man the furth
est possible removed from cant, and
he said, “Prayer is rnd remains al
ways a native and deepest impulse of
the soul of man No prayer, no
religion,—or at least only a dumb and
lamed religion. Prayer is the turning of
one’s soul, in heroic reverence, in infi
nite desire and endeacour towards the
Highest, the All-Excellent, Omnipotent.
Supreme. The modern hero, therefore,
ought not to give up praying, as he has
latterly all but done”.
Blessed is the man who amid all the
burdens and cares and responsibilities
of his mature life, retains the faith
which he learned at his mother’s knee
and continues to pray to the God of her
so trivial. A rainy day when both felt
dumpish and Anna was irritated because
a dressmaker had spoiled a new dress,
and Belle had been cross because her
new shoes hurt her, and an ulcerated
tooth shot pain, and the rain had drench
ed a maline toque. They were in Anna’s
bedroom.
“I don’t think you look particularly
well in that green hat.” Belle had ob
served. Anna flushed. Usually she
never minded Belle’s criticism. But
her mother and brother and father had
remaked the same thing. And Anna
herself had hated the hat as soon as
she found herself outside the shop. And
also she had paid , twice as much for
it as she could afford. So she was
annoyed.
“I don’t particularly admire yours,”
snapped Anna.
Ordinarily Belle wonldn’t have been
offended. But she was cross. She
retorted; Anna snapped again; and five
minutes later Belle, her face flushed
with anger, was tearing through the
heav?^p.in to her own home. The next
day when they met at church Anna,
glancing up furtively .to see if Belle in
tended to be friendly again, saw a flush
ed, angry face. Belle glancing furtive

were remorseful. met two cold eyes.

SO POORLY
Could Hardly Care for Chil
dren, — Finds Health in
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound.
Bovina Center, N.Y. —“ For six years
1 have not had as good health as I have
now. I was very
young when my first
baby was bom and
my health was very
bad after that. I
was not regular and
I had pains in my
back and was so
poorly that I could
hardly take care of
my two children. I
doctored with sev
eral doctors but got
no better. They told me there was no
help without an operation. I have used
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound and it has helped me wonderfully.
I do most of my own work now and take
care of my children. I recommend your
remedies to all suffering women.” —
