By Private Leased Wire. Chicago. Ill., May 11.—Wholesale bribery of ministers and priests by agents or the Standard Oil Company was the sensational revelation made today before the interstate commerce commission. Letters and other documentary evi dence thht showed how the Ohio min istry had hot only accepted, hut in several instances had solicited insig nificant bribes, was brought out to the amazement of scores of auditors.

TOBACCO AND PREACHERS. The general conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church. South, in sear sion at Birmingham, has had presented to it a petition largely signed by wo men of the Holston conference asking for a rule requiring young preachers to pledge themselves not to use to bacco. These petitioners mean well, and are therefore to be criticised gently and generously. They feel that they will have accomplished something of last ing benefit to their church and the cause of Christianity if they can cause it to be said to every young man who would enter the Southern, Methodist pulpit, "You must not smoke, or you shall not preach.” Why should not a preacher use to bacco? Is it Blnfui? It It is, is it not sinful to eat or drink anything or to do anything, not absolutely essential to the maintenance of the human sys tem in health and strength and the performance of what may be consid ered our bounden duty? And this brings us to the point of demarkatlon between a religion that Is cheerful and a religion that is noL For our part we believe in the cheer ful kind. We believe that the Creator made the world a bright, beautiful and smiling place, intending that man should enjoy the brightness and beau ty, not Ignore It. Nature Is full of the wonderful, the glorious, the Inspiring. Its effect upon the mind of man is up lifting, and he is inevitably cheered rather than deptbssed by txmtediplat- tog what be sees about him. -We see nothing in the great open book of na ture Which can be interpreted as Warning to man that he is not to be ft cheerful oreature, and enjoy the bright and beautiful world given him for a home. It ts a great mistake to InveBt relig ion with that which will cause it to appear cold, cheerless and forbidding. That attitude of churches and sects re- polB too many who come to the doors and peep Interestedly in, and it will continue to handicap religion as long as the world lives and moves. The cry is going up in many quarters that there are too few young men offering for the ministry, und church authori ties assert that the Lord’s work is lan guishing at home and abroad because only Standard Oil to the exclusion of. a scapegoat of the clergy, competitive oils. Also, according to J the whole thing look like a disgusting farce, for it at once shows that the It makes! the letters shown, many of them gave "testimonials” to salesmen of the Standard Oil trust These "testimonials” said that it wduld be advisable for church attend ants to listen to the persuasions of the salesmen, and then buy only the Rock efeller product This evidence of widespread pur chase of ministers came through testi mony of an Ohio witness. It struck at representatives of every faith— Protestant and Catholic. Letters signed by the ministers were In the possession of Attorney F. S. Monnett, who gathered them as a remarkable coup on the oil trust reports, In this day of "muckraking,” trust building and trust smashing (we haven’t seen much of the latter, how ever), Is there to be no limit to the assaults upon personal and profes- slonal character by the press? If the above doesn’t amount to a wholesale slander of the Christian ministry of the country, then Chris tianity Is at a low ebb, and our relig ious Institutions muBt Indeed be In a bad way In this boasted Christian land of ours. : *, ’ ft Is announced that Hoke Smith | Will speak in Atlanta as soon as the! of the Increasing scarcity of material. b'lg religious revival that ts now going! Can this bo wondered at, In view of oq Is over. Wonder If he expects to fall In with the crowd and catch the hallelujah lick before risking himself before a homo audience? re Mr 5 Hepburn, of Iowa, yesterday paid his respects in the house to the odicers of,the navy who are responsi ble for the accidents to our warships. These complaints will continue to be ijlode until such time as the govorn- .rneut shall provide officers In sum- bleat numbers to properly man our ioneu-of-war. That la the way, and the only way, to render the navy more ef ficient than It already ts. such petitions as the one presented by the women of the Holston conference This Is but an Incident, but ns such it should be carefully noted and turned to profitable account by our legislative church bodies. • It gives a strong hint of tho cause of the shortage of minis terial material. That there is a Standard Oil Trust perhaps no well-informed person In the country doubts, and that the Inter state Commerce Commission couid And It If it made an honest effort to do so does not admit of reasonable doubt; but this attack upon the ministry is giving n direction to the investigation of the Oil Trust now going on under the guise of official authority a turn that Is absolutely pitiful. Instead of going after the real offenders and in vestigating those who deal ,!n the pro ducts of the Oil Trust and profit by It at the expense ot the consuming pub lic, the pitiful effort is made to make Investigators are not after the real of-1 fenders. It reminds us ot the sheriff j of a county or the chief ot police of a j city, who, when moved by a wave of reform in the community, starts out to break up gambling and passes right by a regular gambling den or poker room and goes out into the suburbs and pulls a bunch of negroes' for throwing craps. The Christian ministry needs no de fense at the hands of The Herald, and it was not the primary purpose of thiB article, to attempt to make one, but it may be said in conclusion that as a class or as a profession the men of “the cloth” in this country are, as a rule, men of high moral character, living and laboring more for others than for themselves and deserving more at the hands of their fellow-men than most of them get. And as for this Chicago story about the wholesale bribery of ministers by the Standard Oil Company, we Just don’t believe it The lives of 999 out of every 1,000 Catholic priests and Christian minis ters that we have ever known give the lie to it.

BECOMING A Mother Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child-birth. The thought of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women have, found that the use of Mothers Friend during pregnancy robs Lt - Savannah confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific Jiniment is a god-send to ail women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning sickness,” and other dis comforts of this period. ww * containing valuable information free.
