WAR AND THE
WORKER.
Let this European war last three
months longer and there will not be
a commercial center in all these
United States that will not be disas
trously affected by it. An ocean be
tween the two continents will make
little difference.
Already we are beginning to feel it
in Palatka and Putnam county.
The dusters of one nation, in
these days of quick transportation,
affects all nations, and the destruc
tion of property on one continent
prevents the exchange of goods for
goods with others.
So war in Europe means idle men
and women in America. The salva
tion of this country is in the fact
that 100,000,000 people are at peace
with each other, with no artificial bar
rier between them for the free ex
change of their services.
Xo intelligent wage worker can
contemplate with equanimity the ces
sation of the cxpnration of our manu
facturers. And that is what, a Eu
ropean war means. Here in Florida
our naval stores ami pho.-phate com

HI Mill i: PRIEST.
The late Pope Pius X lived labor
ing for tl." eternal good of the hu n
ble; he reigned ruling for the pre
servation of faith on earth, and died
praying for universal peace.
I'i-f as I'ius V was always a sim
ple, hair-sJiirted friar, Pius X was al
ways simple parish priest.
The world which knows the circumstance.-
will .-ay it was fortunate

"! ial - thai Cardinal Santo was
elected pope instead of a Rumpoila,
in.-teail of another statesman of the
succe .-ion of Pius IX, or Feo XIII.
Another stntcsinnn-pnpo might have
h-d the church more and more into
high politics, away from its para
mount mis-ion of preacher and teach
er of religion.
It makes a difference to the Chris
tian world what sort of man is elect
id to the papacy. Whoever is elect
ed becomes the head of one-third the
Chri.-t ian world.
J r. Siuto was prepared for his ot-Ih-o
in the simple and humble labors
of a lu.-tic congregation. He believ-
i'i nun il was. in numimy and sim
plicity that the church rose to
strength.
On that early purity and poverty
ot mind the parish priest dwelt, and
there it dwell after he had become a
bishop, a metropolitan, a cardinal, a
ope.
And when he undertook as his pa
pal work "to restore all things in
Christ," he undertook the task with
the unquestioning devoutness of a
child at his catechism, but with spi
ritual confidence.
Pius X would abolish florid music
and restore the plain chant of devo
tion. This was the desire of a de
vout mind, but it was enforced
throughout the world with the full
strength of the primacy.
Pius would abolish modernistic
speculation and re-establish the phil
osophy of St. Thomas. Many a
Simple and studious priest had de
sired this, but the pope did not hesi
tate to excommunicate any who re
sisted. Pius X made the faith of the simple
the object of study of the intellec
tuals. He made the creed of the par
ish catechism the only creed of car
dinals and bishops.
And no one can doubt that in this
life work he has added strength and
dignity to his church in its spiritual
mission, even if Rome enters less and
less into the councils of statesmen.
All his disputes with states were
judged and settled by him on religi
ous rather than on diplomatic
grounds.
Let us hope that the Conclave
about to elect his successor
may
make selection of one who will as who say "the St. Johns river is no j f overnorship. More important in it

John ('. Trice, literary and publicity
agent for the organized saloon inter
e-ls ol Honda, and who watches ev
ery opportunity to get a word in the
newspapers of the State with which
to bolster the waning influence of hi
employers, has a letter in this issue

ceptions to certain comments of this

'iblishcd concerning llind tigers. XI :
Ti ice is possibly entitled to the space
given him for reply. Whether blind
tigers are inoif numerous in dry than
in wet counties is not very important.
However it is a fact that the insti
tution is not peculiar to dry counties.
If Mr Trice will consult some of his
employers perhaps he could get a line
on the sales to tigers in wet counties.
They know.
Mr. Trice quotes some scripture and
asks our opinion concerning certain
biblical statements. For instance he
asks "Did Christ debauch the minds
or morals of the multitude when he
furnished wine f, r the feast?"
Our ans-.ver, most naturally is
"No," but not being atheol'jgIan, the
editor of The News will Lave to be
excused from un exegesis, but would
suggest that John take the matter
up with his regular spiritual ct'vUor.
We would, however, were we to make
an off-hand guess, say that had Christ
doled out the so-called modern
"booze" to the multitude, it would
have required another miracle to de
prive it of its sting. Without such
miracle we should say that He would
have been guilty of debauching. Mr.
Trice's effort at a quotation from Paul
is too funny and too inaccurate for
reply. We would suggest that John
hie himself to a nunnery and study
the Book, though as a matter of fact
he doesn't need it in his business.

the accuracy of your statement.

'daily to the language of my state-1
nient, viz: that saloons rid a COM-

Again, you charge me with de-

"The one only effect of the bever

1 presume you use the word "li

everything that will intoxicate. Then
I want you to answer, these ques
tions: Did Christ debauch the mind
or
morals of the multitude, when he f ur -

Is Paul's language debauching,
when he declared, "a little wine is
good for the stomach's sake?
I want you to answer these quef-
tions with reasonable logic, and not
blatant assertion.
I will also anpreciate 't if you will
answer them without reference to the
writings of Solomon, who outraged
every moral code known to God or
man and there is no evidence he le
pented. Nor would I apm-eciate any evidence
you might submit from the sayings of
David, who esteemed more the lust

Last week we were talking of

case, His faithfulness goes to their
help in their keeping.
"Who so safely kept as he whom

It is for this keeping that Gods
faithfulness engages. "The Lord

of the Divine keeping is sung out
in the Psalms: "The Lord is thy

Master's prayer for His disciples.
"I pray pot that thou shouldest
take them out of the world; but
that thou shouldest keep them
from the evil." And here is Paul
saying, "The Lord is faithful who
shall keep you from evil."
I turn to my lexicon again and I
' find that the Greek of Paul signi-
fiestosetor throw a guard about.
God is faithful to guard His peo-
nle from evil. And He needs to
be faithful for evil is as persistent

My boyhood's fiction hero was
Bunyan's "Great Heart," and my
puard is the original of Great
Heart. Where I toil or sleep He
stands sentinel. Where I go, He
goes before; and He is the rear-
ward of my march.
The evil against which God
' g uards His people comes in three
I guises. First, it comes as mis-
fortune. It was an evil day for
frj0b when Satan stripped him of
property and children. Evil comes
when joy goes. We are in pas-

evil endeavors to engatre us to do
its biddings actively. Would make
us its agents. We would then he
evildoers. Thirdly, evil conies in
the iruise of fearful personality
the Devil, or the Evil One. So the
American revised version of this
text is, "The Lord is faithful who
shall guard you from the Evil
One." Against evil in every guise
God is faithful to guard us.
