ECHOES OF RECENT ELECTION
Pointed Comment on Some Re
cent Political History
Well, the suspense and agony is
over with some, but with others
the agony is just beginning to take
effect. But it won’t kill—i. e. phy
sically,—it may kill politically, and
that is not as bad as to die, and be
no more in these low grounds of
sorrow. I lost some good men, and
won out on some. And it is a fact
we can’t always get what we want.
If I was sure that no dirt had
been done I would feel better.
That any man, or set of men, can
stoop so low as to do the dirty
thing in politics, is a mystery to
me. I think such men ought to be
punished just like any other rascal
who willfully and studiously vio
lates the law\ And why men will
lie like unmentionable cur dogs is
another problem. I wonder if it
would not be more charitable to
say this about such men: “I know
not what the truth may be, I tell
it as ’twas told to me." May be
they do not aim to lie like a dog.
But I am becoming more and more
confirmed in the belief that the
people’s will is not allowed to de
cide who is who in every case.
This hnnnf»n*»/t tact vpar nr'f'nrrt.
ing to the tale that was told. The
people put Mr. Brundidge in but
the politicians put him out. And
it is the belief of many that this
has happened again, with Clarke
and Kirby. A man who will steal
a vote will steal anything else he
can get his hand on, if he can con
ceal it. Some things can be very
easily stolen, but concealment is a
question, and there is the rub.
There are three perils that face
us, Hum, Romanism and dirty
demijohn politics. Rum is on the
run and on its last leg, and may
that leg soon give out. Romanism
is getting bolder and more impu
dent. I am a Democrat, but I do
not think it any credit to Presi
dent Wilson (being Presbyterian)
to have a Romanist as his chief
ecr etary. We all know what that
means; that nothing antagonistic
of Catholicism will ever come un
der the eye of President Wilson—
Mr. Tumulty will stick it in the
stove, and ashes tell no tales. In
Romanism would stop at being a
church, though they claim to be
the only one, it would not be con
sidered so bad, but they want
church and state combined, and
let the Pope rule all. Bishop
Chandler says, “Romanism is our
TO ENTERTAIN S. S. DELEGATES

Little Rock, April 15.—Arrange

national peril.” Dirty politics is
another. I see that Elder Spur
geon, a Baptist preacher, was kid
napped by Roman Catholics in
Colorado not long ago and ms
whereabouts are unknown. He
held a debate with a priest at
Morrillton a short time ago. This
looks like a bid in the part of Ro
manism for bullets, battle and
blood. This is their record, and
Rome does not change. Rev.
Spurgeon was to have delivered a
lecture in free speech, and Rome
can’t tolerate this.
We are having some cool
weather, the “cut worms’’ para
dise. Our people are behind with
the farm work; not much land is
broken yet. But the good day has
always come, and it will come
again, so Mr. Grouch sit up “took
nodice’' and don’t sit down and
die stone dead, all because you
have not gotten your way about
it. Jas. F. Jernigan.
