same old Judas that sold out Jesus.
They are found in large numbers
in both church and state.
It seems to be hard to keep a man
Christian for the year 'round. Al
most any fellow will count himself
worthy at the high peaks of the pro
tracted meeting, or at a funeral; but
he soon joses Tiis vnspiration when
the music starts up and temptations
begin to roll along.
So far as the liquor question goes,
too many good dry fellows drink
themselves. They seem to have a
low conception of their duty to live
up to their professed beliefs. How
ever, one of the greatest hindrances
in the way of liquor-law enforce
ment is the officer who sells out,
either for cash, liquor, fear of los
ing his position, or through pure
cowardice, because the liquor forces
play on every string in the harp,
and when they fail on one, they try
another.
Public Library a Great Opportunity
The public library is a great op
portunity; a college without entrance
fee or examinations; a club without
dues; a society of the best minds
where no introduction is needed; the
most democratic institution possible.
It serves all purposes of civil life,
industrial, social, religious and rec
. reational. It is available 12 hours
out of the 24, every forking day.'
It assists the education of the young
and completes that of the adult. It
enables those lacking knowledge to
become the equals of those more for
tunate. It is truly American, pre
senting to the citizens and the immi
grant our history, and the ideals of
our government. It is cosmopoli
tan, because it houses the works of
all nationalities, either in the origi
nal or in translations, and is thus
an admirable substitute for foreign
travel and intercourse.
It is hospitable to all theories of
life, and upon its shelves may be
1 found the record of human endeavor
and achievement from the earliest
times to the present. In contributes
incessantly to the welfare of the city,
offering to all a standard of intel
lectual values, and exhibiting every
phase of modern thought. The 1

THE ENTERPRISE
But statements or indictments a
gainst the church and the law are
false; because we all know that the
church is doing more today to car
ry out the commands and teaching
of the Master than at any time
since Pentecost. hos
pitals, orphanages, and charities
are found even unto the ends of the
earth.
So iff as liquor conditions go,
they are still bad, but not TiaJf so
bad as they were years ago, when
our streets and alleys were wallow
ing places for drunken men.
Of course, those who believe in
Christianity and soberness want to
see the hurch prosper and the law
carried cut, while those who are a
fcuinst them want to see both the
church and the law fail.
