Our prices on opera and field glasses annot be equalled. . A greatly esteemed friend of The ' Ganette-News, who often offers help ful suggestions, out of an abundant experience and deep wisdom, and be cause' of a desire that The Gazette News may neglect no opportunity in its field of public service, asks if the .paper cannot, on Saturdays, publish a sermon by one of the able Asheville ministers. It is suggested that this if Jthe more desirable, since printed ser mons regarded as unorthodox are reg ularly accessible to the people. Tbe unorthodox teacher does manage to keep thingn In more or less of a stew. I and has caused some good ministers and laymen tribulation of spirit. How ever, in a community as large as Asheville, there are a certain number of people, many of them excellent cit izens and earnest men and women, who may be described as naturally prone to the unorthodpx. They pre fer to receive their spiritual sus. tenance from some remote source, u-ather than to accept the teachings 'of men whom they know, and know to be of good repute, and educated In theology. In a time of personal crisis it is conceivable that most of them might be glad enough, 'to have: the comfort and counsel of Dr. Byrd, Dr. Campbell, Mr. Waller, Mr. Saumenlg or whoever Is the duly ordained shep herd of the flock to which they be long, rather than the utterances of what might be called, from the stand point of orthodoxy, a quack theology; however, in good health, and with no cloud on the horizon, there is a su perior value and special virtue that attaches to goods that have come from afar they stir the Imagination. Before someone objects that these are i not matters a newspaper is qualified to discuss, let us back to the subject Borne years ago a formal tender of the columns of . The Gazette-News was made to the Ministers' association. It was pointed out that when the asso ciation had anything to say to the general public, here was a platform from which they might address an audience much larger than that of a great many churches put together. Circumstances existing at that time prevented the acceptance of this ten der, there was then about to be un dertaken the publication of a Journal which should not only convey to the public messages from the clergymen in a purely ministerial relation, but was to address Itself generally to con ditions from the points of morality and citizenship. However, the ten der was received with the most cor dial expressions, and a relationship was established between this paper as a newspaper, and some of the minis ters ss Individuals which has proved of mutual satisfaction and has result ed in good. We puss our friend's suggestion up to the ministers. This paper does not on Mondays usually carry reports of Sunday's sermons for two reasons: first, a longhand report of a sermon, as often ss not, carries little of the sermon as dellv.rtd, and often carries matter never contemplated by the preacher as part of his sermon. Sec ond, this Is a secular newspaper. It undertakes to print the news of the world, and advertisingas much of these ms three linotyps machines can set. Thing move In such- a whirl . nowulHys that the slx-days-a-week paper finds Itself with a vast task on hand the morning after the day In which no paper Is I snood. We trust our position In this matter will be un . derstood. There are religious publl cations, and the members of every de nomination ought to take some of tnelr church papers. In addition to all this, however there la aiwsys some local religion vf.nrern that ought tu be treated of in the local press from an authoritative point of view. And many of th. r.-a.l.-rs of this ppr. including those who are unable to rl0 rhun h, would like to have the prlvii,.,,. flf rending s. rmon by an Asheville miiilHi. r vu v ' k.

' . As we suggested to the Ministers' association boiui-e, here is a field and an opportunity. The sermons that ire delivered in the churches could be supplied, or shorter sermons, spe cially prepared tor the larger and moro diverse congregation. . As to church happenings and the doings of the various organizations In the churches, these things are news; the sort of Information for whose pub lication the newspaper primarily ex ists. This is good news, as opposed to certain other sorts that may properly be classed as bad news, but for which there Is public demand. The news staff gather all the chronicles ,of the churches and church societies that they can. Some of these societies have a publicity organization, some members whose duty it Is to furnish the papers with reports of their pro ceedings such as may be of general interest, and this is an excellent Idea. Something of the sort Is almost neces sary in these days of recognition of DUbllclty value. There Is, for Instance, the regular aad systematic! publicity work of the T, M. C. A. , .

The Gazette-News hoids no brief for the majority of the house of represen tatives who passed the Sherwood pen sion bill, nor for any of those who voted for It. It was passed u a mat ter of political expediency, and Its wisdom from that point of view must be determined by the future events. There was apparently little difference of opinion among Democrats of the Democratic house, as a whole. Tak ing their position upon a somewhat Indefinite platform declaration, a ma jority blithely went on record. Criticism by Democrats and Demo cratic newspapers, however, cannot with any measure of consistency be directed toward Mr. Gudger, or Mr. Clark, or Mr. Uoyd. or any other Indi vidual who voted in the affirmative on this -measure. The position of any of these as party men is unassailable. Any criticism to tbem Is essentially criticism of the deliberate action and policy of a majority of the party In the house. It is Just possible, for aurht all know, that Mr. Gudger may be under some obligation to the chairman of his party's congressional committee. or that he may some time need the support of this committee, or the speaker of the house, for some meas ure that Is of importance to his own constituency that IS neither her nor there. The point Is that criticism of any member's action in this matter become criticism of the party, a fact which is gradually dawning upon a number of the brethren. The academle question of right and wrong in tnts particular bill Is no longer debatable on party lines, what ever one' Individual opinio about It may an. , - Berger, the lone 'socialist In eon gress, considers the passage of the 8herwod pension bill by the Demo cratic house a good stroke of polltl cal business.' .And Berger is ho mean Judge of politics.
