For the Common Walfare The Western Christian Advocate, one of the group of very able newspapers published in the interest of the Methodist Episcopal church says editorially: ‘Categori party politics lly, the church should keep out of Imperatively, it should keep in national politics, for it cannot keep out. All the great moral issues arise to the Jevel of national politics. They have to be dealt with in that re- gion. How can the church deal with the enforce- ment of the prohibition amendment to the fed- al constitution if it keeps out of politics? How t going to stand for national righteousness, ter the door of the political arena? it is true that the church cannot sit y while the National conventions of the at political parties gather, build their programs and nominate their candidates, “The nation must make way for the influence of the church, While they are separate “in their enterprises and independent in their policies, they work toward the same goal and must con- sider themselves as yoke fellows in promoting church than more interest in pol »parently does at present. That is in certain ons of the country. For instance, along the border line between the North and South, the ason-Dixon. dead line. In the days following the Civil War on to the end of the century the Methodist church was deeply interested in pol- ities. And those living in the sections named have no difficulty in recalling the political wis- dom and the courageous ptterances of political conviction of the pastors of that day and gener- ution. These gentlemen of the cloth excelled the ave e stump speaker of that day and they were believed the more readily. They knew a. great deal of practical politics, too for men who did not make it a business. They obtained their prac, tice in the old district ‘conference, ruled over by a presiding elder when the practice was that a ininister was compelled to” go to a new charge y year, and in no case could he be retained rge of the same church more than two The.members of the Methodist church grew to know something of convention matters also, for the leading members of each church in the dis- trict attended the annual conferences as regu- lar as they came around, and log rolled to re- tain a favorite minister another year, or log rolled to prevent his return as the case might be. Yes, the Methodist church ought to take more interest in politics. So had every other church for that matter. Not as church bloes with de- mands, but as citizens representing the better and more wholesome things of public affairs. It would create a better atmosphere in political affairs, elevate politics from the low plane to which it has decenced, and in everyway make for better candidates and better government. The influence of churches and church members is a most desirable thing for the good of the nation. The United States hopes it is a Christian na- tion. We all individually hope it is. We all de- sire it to be. The only way it can be made so, and kept so, is for Christian citizens to perform their plain duty by taking their-part in selecting good-men for public office and in supporting them in the work expected of them, Because of the neglect of the churches and their adherents, the saloon and its adherents once gained more or Jess control in various cit- ies of the land Now it is the low and vicious ele- ments of society that seeks mastery, When it comes to the business of fighting the devil we know of no more able and sincere peo- ple than church people. They should take a larg- er and more aggressive part. There is no possible danger of injuring politics by leavening it with morality and the church people are the ones to do it. ‘Twentieth Century Crime Modern crime has at command all of the ac- coutrements and convenience created for other and more honorable purposes, Automobiles air- planes, tear bombs, automatic revolvers are fac- tors. They were the tools that made possible a recent wholesale mail robbery by bandits in the vicinity of one of the largest cities of the coun- try. The thrill of the dime novel of former days, and the detective story dope by this sensatior well-equipped ¢ iodical of today, is out- dventure of modern, nized criminals. The in- cident constitutes an arming manifestation of the lawless spirit which marks our time, and dramatically emphasizes the helplessness of the law-abiding when crime takes advantage of the instrumentalities which progress has placed at its disposal. The imperative necessity for adopting ade- quate means of protection and defense against such attacks as this is obvious. If a band of dar- upuloug men can succeed in such within close range of a great city, in illusion.
