A New Deal In Congress.
REGARDLESS of the outcome of the con
gressional election in November, the
House and Senate, after March 4. will pass
under the leadership of a new group of leg
islators Primary defeats and voluntary
retirements will lake from the organization
of both bodies most of the men now respon
sible for the business of Congress, and the
country at large will find satisfaction in that
fact. ?
The men who have assumed responsibil
ity for the legislation of the past fifteen
or sixteen months have succeeded as have
no others in modern times of thoroughly dis
crediting themselves. It is perhaps not too
much to say that there is less public con
fidence in the leaders of this Congress than
in any other of the past two generations.
And, while the old game of passing the
buck from the Capitol to the White House
and from the White House back to ihe Capi
tol hus been the favorite pastime of the
present regime in Washington, this byplay
has netted tbo country nothing.
Even if tho Republicans retain control ?>f
both the House and Senate, and it is by
no mourn* certain that they will hold tho
House, a now order will be established in the
organization of those two bodies. I"or ex
ample. Chairman Fordney. of the Ways and
Means Committee, is about to retire with
out a fight to hold his seat. This means
that a new chairman of that highly import
ant committee will be named. Whether
Green, of Iowa, tho ranking Republican
and a protectionist of the Fordney school,
will be promoted or whether Longworth.

Mondell, the House leader, will pass out
in any event. He 1* seeking a seat in tho
Senate, but if his people examine carefully
tho miserable record he has made in the

him to the shades of private life. Mann,

SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARNER
Urunn't Mule.
There waa a niut> named Brown
Who owned a stubborn mule,
Half brother to a lunatic
And otherwise ? fool.
'Tw?s common talk among the folks
Who near liltn had to dwell,
That Brown's mule had the devils and
That he was full o* hell.
I
Brown's mule broke loose one day
And started for the town.
It seared the women on his way
\n.l knocked the children down;
And ? hen the men-folks came to catch
Brown's mule, the story goes.
They ?ot a fine view of his heels
Hut never saw his nose.
So long as Brown's mule roamed
All business was adjourned;
Nobody cared to travel out.
Nor for adventure yearned. ,
So Brown's mule owned the universe
I titII a bold one came
\nd stuck him with n snickersnee.
\nd stopped his kicking game
i> how the people cried'
"heir hero t hoy acclaimed.
And every baby for h year
Was for the hero named!
\nd in that burg the moral si.inds
In home, in church, in s.elioo!.

Echoes From Down Home
Whenever one expresses a doubt of the r^al
i! v of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde
pendence he raises the Ire of all Charlotte. The
following bit of sarcasm is from the I'harlotle
Observer. "There is nothing tho a \ <? r.ik ? new s
paper reader enjoys more than a hripht stroke
of originality and when the constituency of
Th? Ashevllle Times came across ill** brilliant
observalion. in Its Issue of July n. that the
V?cklenhurg Declaration of Independence is
a myth.' they must have voted It worth the
price of admission."
"The mails." moans the Greensboro News,
"now become cluttered up with picture post
paid*. a large percentage of which bear in
scription to the effect that 'The fire fee's crnte
f.11 in th?- evening, and we are sleeping under
two blankets every night'"
Says the Ashevllle Citizen' "Southein Ser.a
I >r> and Re pre.sent a 11 v <*s rightly ii.Mist that
t h?? Oyer bill is unconsitutiona!; hut they ar?
embarrassed in their argument? by those thirty
ljnchlngs in the South in the past *ix months."
"The Republican campaigners." says the
Kinston Free press "are in desperate straits
when they begin to wail. '1? you don't continue
use in power and manifest your approval of
our do-nothingness, the South will he in the
saddle." "
The Durham Herald, in the following, ex
presses sentiments that lots of people hold
jus! ahout now; "After reading that the tariff
hill, which Is soon to pass Congress, will
add one and one-third billion of dollars an
nually to the cost of living, we are almost
inclined to get sympathetic with hose follows
who are prtoesting against a -reduction in
wage*."
The Tlaltigh Xew.s and Observer. quoting
the headline. "Txrr.ocrats Hold Cy Plan of Con
gress to Adjourn." says: "This Is decidedly to
their credit. Congressman can at least stay on
the Job even If they don't accomplish very
much while doing so."
Sa* the Winston-Salem Journal "They say
that prohibition has already cost the coun
try between one hundred and one hundred
and fifty million dollars. It Is worth a great
deal inore than that."
This cheering news comes from the Greens
boro Record's editorial column: "The Pied
mont section has passed through another ex
ceptionally good crop-growing week. It has
been alternately rain and hot sunshine, and
one has only to (skti a look at .the corn and
cotton fields ta understand the good It 1ms
done."

Sermon
TIfIC EXAJII'LK THAT SIIT.
n y J. A. Knbnnk.
"Then went tho PhurinoeH. and look counsel
how tiny might entangle Hint Id His talk.
And they sent unto Him their disciples with
the Horodinns, saying: Mastor, we know that
Thou are true, and teachest tfie way of Qod
In truth, neither cereal Thou for any man:
for Thou regardest not the person of men. Tell
us. therefore, what thlnkeat Thou Is It law

Hun a penny. And lie salth unto them. Whoso
Is this liiiutp and superscription? They say
unto Him. Caesar's. Then salth He unto them.
Header. therefore. unto Caesar the tilings
which ar? Caesar's, and unlo God the thing*
that aro God's " Matthew xxll. 15-21.
The Scrlbs and Pharisees, the most invet
erate enemleK of the true kingdom of Ood.
and. therefore, the sleuths that dogged tho
footsteps of Jesus throughout His ministry.
11 ti t i t they finally accomplished His death*
without the shadow of excuse In law or jus
tice. made frequent attempts to Involve Him
In a discussion of political questions of tho
period. as upon the present occasion, fully
realising In their craftiness that such a
course on His part would Inevitably weaken
the force Y>f His ministry and possibly bring
Him into conflict with Roman authority.
The Jews were required to pay two kinds
ft tribute?the half-shcltel. which every .lew.
wherever resident, was hound to contribute
for the maintenance of the Temple; and the
ti\ custom, dues. etc.. exacted from them
!>v their Kotr.an subjugators for the mainte
?i..ncf "f the civil authorities. The former
, >s paid in Jewish. the latter In Itoman coil!
!' was the latter form of tribute to which
t Script tire \< e have quotfd has reference.
The Jews were very much averse to pay
n ? this tribute, since every timo they did j
m>. it nerved to remind them of their suh
? una ted condition Hence, feeling s-.tre that
Jesus entertained the national prejudice
a?:Cnat this tribute, they thought to entrap
Hint by procuring an expression on the sub
ject which they might use against His min
istry.
Hut Jesus unlike many well-meaning teach
ers of the present day professing devotion to
the cause that He c&mo to establish, was not to
be diverted from Ills purpose of bringing about
a reconciliation between God and man nnd.
therefore, preparing the way for the complete
r^igti of righteousness on rsrth. Jesus real
ized that He must constantly be about His
leather's business, the establishing of the
kingdom of Ood in the hearts of Individual j
men. and that to do so successfully He must
not Intermeddle with the affairs of Caesar.
In other words. He declined to be led off
into the discussion of political questions be
cause of the fact that there might bo a moral
side to them.
St Paul was quick to perceive the divine
intent, when he declared in his letter to the
Corinthians: "And I. brethren, when 1 came
to you. come not with excellency of speech
or of Kisdom, declaring unto you the testi
mony of God. For I determined not to know
anything among you, save Jesus Christ and '
llim crucified. And I was with you In weak
ties:-. and in fear, and in much trembling
And inv speech and my preaching was not
with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in i
d* mons'ratlon of the Spirit nnd o' power 1
That \otir faith should not stand In the wis- i
dom <>f men i,ut in the power of Cod "
If r\ tv one who has taken upon himself
the obligation to proclaim tie full gospel of
li.ve and promote the true kingdom of God
\wr* inspired by the like sentiment and
earnestness. we opine that there would bo
mori- peace in the earth toda \ The promise
Is "And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free."
In a notable sermon preached some year?
axo. Bishop Warren a Candler, of the
Methodist Kpiscopal Church. South, said.
"1 received a letter from a magazine editor
a few days i?K" asking what, in my opinion
reu'.il be d-iiie during the four years of the
new national administration to make this
nation better? I answered that letter yes
terday in New fWapq. and I didn't say any
thing about child labor law or those other
movement". T said. 'Oo back to first prin
ciples. K?> hack to and bring His spirit
to me*i \V> sro In danger of falling into
ti.al dcotn of nations who. not violently re
jecting God. simply forget and ignore Him."
liishop Candler has learned the truth;
hence. llVce Paul, he preaches "In demonstra
tion of the Spirit and of power." There is
wisdom for every one who wishes the world
to be made better in his advice. "Go hack to
Hod and bring His spirit t? ? men." It is the
compelling power of love, not the manifesta
tion of physical force, that must finally bring
about the fulfillment of John's vision where
in he declares. "And 1 saw a new heaven and
a new earth." and In th.s ? ' ara tor of work
all who "know the truth" may have a part,
however .humble it t>e.
Health Queries by Dr. Brady

M. H.
Answer.?If the ring Is. say, . .gliteen carat
gold. that means eighteen parts of golil In
twenty-four parts ?>f alloy Suppose the alloy j
metal is silver or copper; that reads with thfe
sulpliur compounds in the sebum and sweat, j
to produce a l?l(ick .sulphid of silver or cop
per. The finish, known as "oxidized" silver,
is really sliver sulphld. Washing with hot
toap and water or any of the household
scouring or cleaning powders sufficiently dis
infects a bath tub. My notion Is that a hath
tub is not very sanitary even if it ls strictly
private. A shower or sponge bath is prefer

Report ol Death "Premature."
To the Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch:
Sir,?The Issue of 'your paper of
June 21 contalnod a lengthy and In
teresting account of an article head
ed. "Boost Home Tor Dixie Sailors,"
resided over by Governor Trlnklo.
This artlclo contained some erroneous
statements which 1 think Hhould be
corrected. The prlnclplo speaker of
tho occasion whs Admiral A. O.
Wright, a former junior officer of tho
Confederate Navy, who Is reported
as s&ying that he had received mes
sages from the following out-of-town
commodores: E. M. Anderson. James
II. To tube and the lato H. 11. Mar
mudukc, in the advocacy of his
scheme for building a home for Con
federate sailors, and that the last
named commodore had. died since tho
receipt of his letter. Speaking for
myself. 1 will say that 1 wrote no
such letter and Mr. Wright knows
that I have never cncouraged the
project. In as much as It Is well
known that our aallors are admitted
to the various soldiers' homes In the
South on the same condition as tho
soldier. Therefore, I have been un
able to see the necessity for such
an establishment. Regarding mv
health. It Is a matter of little Im
portance, I repeat that tho admiral's
announcement of my death was pre
mature. Save a slight Impairment of
eyesight I am in the enjoyment of
excellent health.
In Justice to myself 1 should be
pleased If you will publish this short

note the wonderful change 'or the
better that the State road which run*
the full length of Essex County ha?
brought about, they would probably
undergo change of sentiment.
Where there was sand In some places
a foot deep In summer, and In other
places mud fully as deep in winter,
there In a firm roadbed. \\- M graded
and posted at every crossroad with
.signs for direction an I d!?'anc??s.

Just why tho Richmond merchant*

'for yours urged a railroad from Rich

Northern Nock. It seemed that every
effort wus futile. Anil now the hope
Is for a Htate road from Tnppahun
tiock to Richmond. That seotns to
be "dragging Its weary length (
along." i
When it will be completed Is a
matter indefinite, and very dtsconrag
I Ing. In the meantime, ttie steamers

goods for the numerous stores along
the river and near-by territory.
Heavy trucks, good ralentnanshlp and
a good road to Richmond \jould
work wonders. Uul wo must have
