Good Government
{'an we have good government? Il is doubtful
until our people catch a higher vision of principle
and less attention to policy.
The country has drifted into the hands of con
testing and contending |x»lituians, whose apjiarent
principal business is to hold office.
We find the two principal features in American
politics are, first, get into office; second, stay in of
fice. This generally keeps our officials so busy that
they never do much thinking for the people.. The
whole mind and M>UI of large numbers of officials is
"What is |>opular?" and not "What is good?"
In the present political crisis, nothing is ai is
sue that means a cent's profit to the jx-ople. And
/et politicians are going the rounds stabbing each
other and calling themselves crusaders fur good gov
ernment.-
Good government is a long way off and will
never come until the people become sufficiently wise
enough ii"! to pei nnt ollu i lioldcrs and oftkeseekers
to trouble and muddy the political waters and obscure
the fundament,isl that promote and guard the govern
mental rights of the people.

The Immigration Problem
With a big immigration, who will hold the jobs
in this country ten years hence? It is estimated
that about a half million foreigners are being bpot
legged into the I'nited States each year. Most of th m
are working men. This number, added to the half
million foreigners ritei'vetT through the legal channels
makes about one million foreigners added to our pop
ulation each year. Naturally our imputation is also
gaining from the crease of births over deaths, and

that added to the list of those who come in from
tion in our country.
With work by machinery taking the place of hu
man labor, and the slowing down in our' foreign mar
ket demand, we will soon have a lot of people in this
country with their toes, on the bread line,
j The flood of foreigners to this country means the
loss of jobs by the negro and white laborers. The
| oversupply wf labor will naturally force prices down
and the fight will come between the American white,
the negro, and the foreigner. I hen the man who can
overwork and underlive will get the job. This will
certainly eliminate the American white man. He may
be able to work along the side of the negro and the
: foreigner, but either can underlive him.
"Liberty" and Bigotry
I •
"liberty" which calls itself a "magazine of re-
I ligious freedom," seems, according to some opinions,
J to have the very -fault of which it acuses others,
"bigotry." . ■
The magazine like all other contentions arguers
I has a lot to say, but unfortunately every word is
against the general trend of the Christian system,
practically segregating sin .to earth and Christianity
to heaven. The magazine seems to lose sight of the
fact that the church was organized and ordained of
(iod to set up a kingdom of righteousness on earth.
Net it would deny the Christian to speak in any mat
ter affect ipg the State. It is another case of trying
to push justice and right alar off, so the world may
wag on in its own patl)s without molestation.
The magazine seems never tti have heard of the
many cases When the |>ower of God came to earth
and destroyed the unrighteous and those who refused
to obey the laws.
In the new era, when He sent a greater love to
lead men and changed His manner of dealing with His
(reatares, there arises the same old spirit and calls
itself "Liberty." .False liberty. It is only another
case of men's boasting of their right to sin.
They are not mindful of the fact that Jesus Himself
denied robbers the right to enter the temple and de
file it and overthrew them and kicked them out.. And
if Jesus gave the church any great duty, it was to put
sin out of the world.
But "liberty," in its rights of speech and press
would fleny everything done in the name or spirit of
Christianity that would restrain men. It is like its
brothers—it wants Christianity to stay a long
way off;'

A Department To Be Proud Of

Somerset, Ky.—Telling how he had
known of the merit of Thedford's
Bla k-Dr»ugkt since he was a boy,
Mr. Albert Garland, of this city,
recently said:
"I used to work in tho. mines,
but lost quite a bit of time on ac
count of the sick spells I had. 1
would get to having a bad taste
In my mouth, and a very dull, tired
feeling and ache. I would have dark
spots in front of my eyes, and I
would be so dizzy I would stagger
like I was drunk.
"I took medicine, but didn't seem
to get any better.
"My mother told me to try Black-
Draught, which I did, and after a
few doses I felt much better. Now
I take It as soon as I feel the least
bad. and I don't get down. I cer
tainly cap say that It has done
more for me than any other medi
cine I have ever taken.
"I never get without Black-
Draught. If Igoon a visit, I take
a package along in my suit-case
My health is better now than It
has been In years, and I believe It
Is the use of Black-Draught thai
did it."
Black-Draught is prepared from
medicinal root* and herbs, of high
