ReporUd for T" Whai.th Makiks by T. E.
Douglass, Jr.
Ai we draw near the close of the year
the question must becoming to many of
you: "How should we set to work to
apply In our lives the principles which
hare here bsen enunciated? What
practclal means can we employ in the
lotereits of social reform?
The question is a natural one and a
right one, if not used as an excuse from
solving; your own problems, and as such
is deserves our attention.
In the first place I wish to call your
attention to toe fact that the problem
before us is no less than this: "How to
chang the social sys'em itself. All
men acknowledge that the present
society is wrong, that it does not give a
happy or holy order of things, that it
causes increasing divisions rather than
associations of men; but most men, and
even motit reformers in the past, have
thought of society as incidentally rather
than radically wrong; they would recon
struct and charge conditions, but would
continue as the fundamental basis of
society tbe came wrong principles which
now prevail. French communism, Ger
mm socialism and our own single-tax-cr
all go upon the supposition that the
la'um faire basis of society must
still coutlnue under new conditions of
equality. Buch is not tbe position of
the Christian. The principles of mod
ern society are fundamentally wrong,
its very roots sink In poison and the
tree itself must bo made right be
fore it can bear good fruits. The in
dlvldualistio theory is in itself tbe very
negation of society, The idea of a
world of free competition even between
men of equal strength is fundamentally
unnatural and anti-Cbrlstlan. Compe
tttlon in any form is the foe of pro
gress flnd the waste cf life; it is boucd,
at its best, to build up a class of para
sites and middlemen who produce
nothing. We do wrong to tinker with
such a system. There is no honorable
competition in the light of Christian
ethics.. There must be a new birth of
society, a change of its whole nature;
we cannot reconstruct i, we must In
generate it. The proclamation of tbe
principles of Christ as apllpcable to pre
sent conditions Is like speech in an un
known tongue, so firmly are we wedded
to the old standards of moral measure
ment. We need new conceptions of
liocetty, goodness, justice, unselfish
ness. Tbe very terms In which human
relations are asserted belong to an un
known world and can never be under
stood till society is born again. We do
not know right and wrong by any of the
world's standards; we are densely ignor
ant of what is really honest and Chris
tian as fur as we rely upon current con
ceptions. Admitting then that society Is funda
mentally wrong as to its basis, the
practical question arises: how can we
lay down new principles in place of the
old one? how can we keep the good of
the pan and not the evil? how can we
preserve the real and actualize the
ideal? And first we must recognize
that what is built up on a fundamental
wrong cannot be righted by violence.
The land in America was stolen from
tbe Indians and that of England from
the Saxons. There is scarcely a foot of
land in either country which has not
been gained by robbery. Yet we can
not make it right by destroying all tbe
i great cities which have grown upon it
and reducing it to its former state.
Such a course would ba to commit a
still greater wrong. Goi himself has
never destroyed the wrong, but has
taken it and made the best of it all
along. All violent revolutions no mat
ter how great their gain are an awful
waste at well. The way of violence I
not the fundamentally dieina way of pro
grois. The children of Israel might
have crossed tbe border of the promis
ed land in a few days Ins'ead cf forty
yean. The Protestant reformation has
been the cause of fearful lnse In many
respects seemingly greater than the
gain. The French Involution I not
enueu; me wate otcastontd by H i
still going on, whilo tho soeilonal strife
which caused cua- civil war l still at it
htlght. Ii.it Jesus (Kilnu u t a

with those pursued by Johua, Crom
well or Wnahlegton we tee a gr.at aul
funtlaiuen'al dulerence, II ah. way
have prmiucrd gnat g,H4 ami some
times the choice between them I hard,
but If I declue to follow Jau I ahull
txoome simply a UutM to an unmcn,
dWla order, seeking to give to tho
world a new spirit t athp than Mm
forms, In fo.iowtog him I may leave

life may seeiu waited a h!i did. The
multitude would have md htm king,

struggle and toll eniy a few dM(ilr.,
llul ihej istura'tfd with h! spirit
and through it became the organizers
of a now world, overthrowing the insti
tutions and thrones of an old civlllza
tion. Now these two ways tbe exter
nal and Internal between wb'ch c
mustchcose differ most widely. On?
ia the methrd of force though the force
b? in a way moral the other is the way
of sacrifice, but in the latter I think is
seen the way of progress without wastf
tbe true adjustment of the real to the
ideal.
All of this touches on the relation of
the Individual to the wrong social sys
tem. After choosing between the two
ways he must define for himself bis re
lation to tbe order lit whfch he finds
himself; how to be in a competitive
system and not of it. This is tbe bard
est of problems and may only be solved
by taking into all that we do the spirit
which was in Christ. Let a man use
tbe property in his hand as Jesus used
his body; let him seek to make his
property the incarnation and revela
tion of tbe life of Christ, then can be
be in tho midst of a conpetitlve system
and not a competitor, but a brother,
Nay, his life and property can be
witness against the selfish, order and
may become a sacrifice which wll
purify and redeem it. It is never true
that a man is so caught In the snares of
a system that be is bound to follow it.
To assert, this is practical atheism
There has never been an Institution or
a soatal order so bad but that any son
of God can be greater than that system
He can live in it and be ground down
by it perbapi yet never b j of it and al
ways a wltnejs against it.
Tbe world Is always seeking a false
center of unity by which it may satisfy
itself with something less than the re
coenltion of the bond between men ai
sons of God and brothers of each other
The tower of Babel, tbe Roman state,
the Komlsh churcb, Feudal England,
American Democracy, have all been
brought forward as systems by which
men were to climb to heaven; but God
will have none of these false centres of
life. Hut there has been revealed to
tbe world a true center of unity,
spirit, a lire, and after l,uou yearr
though it may seem a commonplace
nevertheless it is the supremo truth
tbat such a center is found in the mlcd
of Christ and anything else is a source
dissension, selfoexaltatlonand eventual
anarchy. To reform society your first
work is to witness to those among whom
you era placed of the crucified Christ,
tbat Is to witness tbat there is nothing
of cocquerlng power in the world exoept
the law of incarnate self-sacrifice re
vealed in the life and death of Jeu
This is the only law that can unite men
and make a true society. This is not a
new gospel, and yet practically it is,
Creeds have been keeping us away from
Mjod; they have obscured his character
and checked the power of his spirit. If
Christ has been preached how is it that
we act as though there were no divine
princlplo of unity; as though lour city
politics were given over to the devil; as
though religious strife and sects were
inevitable; as though Protestant C brie
tendom must continue to teach to tbe
world tbe awful lesson of anarchy.it is
teaching today?
To end this anaroby no ecclesiastics
councils nor theological agreements
will avail, only the seif-sacrifictng
spirit of Christ. There is but one
ground of union in churcb, state, or
society; the sacrifice of Jesus; the mind
of tbe Christ received as the spirit of
ttbe world. And if there were la every
community a single man who actually
believed in Jesus the face of tho world
would be changed in less than a gene
ration. The church Is waiting for
apostles who have caught the Lord's
spirit and know its force to arise and
bear witness to tbat spirit ss the con
querlng power of the world.
We have always to meet tbat false
distinction between tho individual and
society, that conception of society as an
aggregation of fragments of things in
stead of person. There is no such dis
tinction. Individual salvation is not
apart from social salvation. To save an
individual is to socialize him; the sal va
tion of the world Is the t oclalizatlon of
world. If tnU social spirit, this mind
of Christ which is tbe mind of a ier
vant; if this incarnation of the Holy
Spirit could come upon society as It is
today, with all its selfishness, strife and
greed tho world would instantly be
transformed. The trouble Is not that
there are wrongs here and there In the
prewnt social system, but that It has
a wrong heart. Spirit, not system,
must, bo the bocd of unity; toclety ia
not a hut htm lira but an incarnate spirit
rut the ulvlne spirit Into aoy system
and the yten will bo divine. Th
mi st powerful agent of wrong can In an
Instant I "come ju-t a powerful an
agent of tight by receiving the Christ
spirit. Ojly a new aoclal spirit can
create a Christian society, I believe
thoroughly In p,-cUl reform and a
Wat program," but I do not expect
the salvation of the world to come by
these. Wa are to work hard to secure
tVe best system, butenly to secure them
a Instrument of the Holy Ghost. 1 1 1
your business to try u got the mind of
Chr!l Into j .ur city council, or school
board; but no ooll sitero will bring
about the localisation of the world. I
look for a saw and urti versa! l'ntoeol
Infinitely tuort ooinprehiiiulve than, that
of apostolici days. Then tbe untilai
power tf tho mind Of God was maalftu t
la the few occupant of that upper room
joining them In complete fellowship so
that no man called anything bis own
but held It for the common good. (They
did not irquare up and divide the pro
perty thus starting a ntw sysitm.) ' 2"
when tbat penteccst shall come upon
wotety great nations like ours shall
turn from their sins an J be born for
God in a day. And just because I be
lieve this I have no social program to
off r. All tbat there is for us is to get
ready not passively but actively ready
-for what God is going to do. We are
to prepare the world to receive tbe
spirit of God which may come upon it
at Its worst and make It the kingdom
of God. And without the descent of
tbat spirit the best system which God
could hand down ready-made out of
heaven would be the world's greatest
ourse.
All programs for social reforms are
useless unless backed with a great
moral purpose. A defect of most of tbe
education of today is that it falls to
inplant any strong moral and social
purpose. And as we finish such a
course of education and come to con
sider the things to which our lives are
to be devoted the questlen is most apt
to come as, "How can I make the most
of myself?" The real question should
be, ' What can I do for tbe world in
which I shall find myself?" The Indi
vidual has worth only in relation to
other lives. How shall I spend my life,
Is not aa individual matter, is Is a mat
ter of infinite concern to God, humanity
and the universe. Life is a social mis
ston and its call to each of us is a call to
a messlahshlp.

P. Duncau, Columbia. S. C.
Both tbe Democratic and Republican
parties have established bead-quarters
and ere today preparing millions of
campaign documents to be sent out dur
ing t.ls campaign.
It is the opinion of the shrewdest
politicians at Washington, tbat if the
People's Party takes advantage of the
blunders rnd infamy of the present
administration, there will be no trouble
in electing Populist members enough
to hold the balance of power in the
next Congress. It is alto admitted by
the closest observers among both the
Democratic ai Republican politicians
that the next election of president will
be thrown into the House,, which will
give the Populists the power to dictate
who shall be tb.6 next president of the
United States? The election in the
state bf Oregon comes off in June, and
in Alabama in August. We are al
most absolutely sure to carry Alabama,
and we stand an even chance with either
of tho old parties in Oregon. To help
to carry Oregon and Alabama is to help
put life and enthusiasm in our party In
every state in the Union.
The People's Party is composed of
the great common people of the country
who are poor and honest. It has no
millionaires, bank or railroad corpora
tions upon which to call for campaign
funds.
The National Committee has estab
lished head-quarters at Washington
whore it can procure aa unlimited
amount of campaign literature at a
small cost One thousand dollars used
n eur party will do as much work as a
hundred thousand dollars In either of
tbe old parties.
After carefully considering the above
facts and the bright prospects for our
party in the coming campaign, we feel
t our imperative duty to appeal to our
people everywhere to come to the aid
of the national committee In doing this
great work. In the lost election our
party polled more than a million votes
for president.
We now earnestly appeal to 1,000 of
that number to give us 13 each, 10,000
to give us II ea,h, 20,000 50 cent each,
20,000 25 cent each, and the teraatndrr
of the one million to give us 10 cents
and 5 cunt each. We also earnestly
appeal to all People's Party Clubs, Le
gion, and leagues toialse what fund
they can for the committee, by taking
up collections, giving entertainment
to. We make this request because w 1
believe It our duty to do so. If our
party ever attains success, eitch mem-1
beref tbe party must contribute to that
success cot only with his ballot

The Better Wyoming Lawa,
In the current number of tbe North
American Kevlew apprars an article on
Woman Suffrage by Governor Crounse
of Nebraska. Tbe article opens with the
following sentence: "At Its session held
ia J 881 the Legislature cf Nebraska was
induced to pass an act providing for the
submission to the people of an amend
ment to the State constitution extend
ing the elective franchise to women."
We presume he thought It unnecessary
to be so precise as to say submission to
the men people. Pwsslbly he ls'nt aware
tbat women are people and tbat there
is a wide difference between "people"
and ' voters. "The result." he savs.
"showed a vote of 25,750 for and 50,693
against, while 12 510 voted neither way.
It Is fair to assume that the 50,000 votes
against represented the women who
were willing to leave their ballot with
their husbands, fathers, and brothers,
whose good judgment they respected."
Now we think it is safe to say that out
of these 50,000 men who voted sgalnst,
a large number were unmarried, while
everyone knows there are plenty more
wbo wouldn't think of consulting their
wives as to how tbay should vote, and
many, many others who would not have
voted for it even at .the moat earnest
petition of their wives and mothers,
just as did one young man, a member
of the last legislature, whose mother
vainly begged him to vote for tbe equal
suffrage bills then pending.
H -3 then speaks of tbe good laws upon
oar statute books la behalf of women
and says tbat "every reasonable demand
seems to have been anticipated."
We would like to tell him how it
came that those demands were antici
pated." We would tell him that every
just law for women on any stttute book
has been secured by the faithful work
of a few liberty-loving womtn who be
ileved In equal human rights, btded by
a few noble men wbo could not see
wherein a woman was "bold," ' bad" or
"ambitious," simply because she did be
lleve Id, and ask for human equality
and justice. Fortunately there has been
a few such men and women in Nebraska
to whose efforts the comparatively just
laws for women are due. Mr. Crouase,
says the amendment was defeated be
cause tbe women did not want it. Now
bow was it proven tbat the wemen did
not want it? They did not have
cbance to express their legal opinion
on the matter. Why would It net be a
much more just and correct method of
ascertaining the exact truth of the
matter to subult it to a vo'o of tbe
women themselves Instead of the (men)
people But there were other reasons
why the amendment was defeated
which Mr. Crounse does not give.
Previous to the Republican state con
vention of 1832 everything looked
favorable for the adoption or the
amendment in Nebraska. The preci
had by a large majority expressed it
self favorably. Several Republican
c sun ty con ve ntlons t ad e idomd it and
requested the s'ate convention to do the
same. It was estimated tbat a good
majority of the delegates were not only
lavoraoic, out absolutely pledged to
support such a resolution, But tbe
hrst move of the chairman who did not
wish the party to be embarrassed by any
"side issues" was to appoint a chairman
o' tbe resolution committee wbo was
opposed. Tbe next fatal slip was con
curred In by friends who did not see Its
drift and the convention voted that all
resolutions must be presented through
the committee. The suffrage resolu
tion was presented, but held back by
the chairman. Wten the report was
made It wa adopted acd a motion to
adjourn was immediately carried. By
such political trickery as this did a few
defeat the will of the majority, and tbe
most Important Issue of that year was
thrown asldo. The result was that the
pre grew cold and tbe political orators
were silent and the woman suffrage
amendment did not tecelvo the illsous
skin and make tho Impression uxn tbe
mind of the voter which It would had
it been firored In theiUtform.
Th Republican havo Jmt ptayej
thUiarae trick Uxn the wom-n ot
Kaesas. .Just tu the same way hive the
two old partlr been hoodwinking and
d?eatinir the will i.f th,i in!..rtt. ....
t sort, of quettlous for years, and both
the mea and women people are beeora
lag very tired of theiu.
Wyou.bg with Nebraska and says that
the laws avalntt a-amblm
have a." iniaa
suffrage, Mr. Crounse bring forward
no Mt?r proof of hi aeuUn than aa
article by a Chicago paper correspon
dent, who say the charge I made that
1 not a single act of legislation aimed
at the betterment of the human rae
ba been passed throinh woman' In
fljenee," Agntn.t this oorresponJePt's test!
mony who bad very likely never com
pared tbe laws and constitution ot
Wyoming with those of other states IC
see wherein they showed forth any in
fluence for the betterment of humanity,
we place what ex Governor lloyi
said in 1873 In his official report:
"Attendance upon school is obligatory;
teachers are equally paid, male and
female alike for tbe same service."
Wyoming waa the first to adopt com
pulsory education and is now the only
state to pay teachers equally, without
regard to sex.
In another report he says:
"Under this statute (equal suffrage)
we have better1 laws, better officers,
better Institutions, better moral and
higher social conditions in general than
could otherwise exist, none of the pre
dicted evils, such as loss of native
dolloacy and disturbance of borne rela
tions has followed In its train; that tho
great body of our women and the best
of them have accepted tbe elective
franchise as a precious boon and exer
cise it as a patriotic duty."
Another governor said: "The only
dissenting voice against woman's suff
rage was that of convicts who bad been
tried and convloted by woman jurors."
And we could cite columns of tbe
same kind of testimony from judges of
supreme court, U. B. Senator and
other public men of the state.
The constitution contains aa educa
tional qualifications no one cio vote wbo
can not read the state constitution. The
oath of ofllce Includes the affirmation
ft at the officer has not paid or promis
ed to pay directly or indirectly any
money or other valuable thing to pro
cure the nomination or election, and he
is bound to promise tbat he will not
receive anything for tbe performance
of duties of the office other than the
compensation allowed by law.
Wyoming cares more for tbe protec
tion of its daugbters than any other
state. It requires parental consent for
the marriage of any girl under 21 . No
other state makes tbe betrayal of a
woman less than 21, under promise ( f
marriage, a well defined penitentiary
offence. It is a penitentiary offense for
any person to exercise tbe acts of a pre
curor over any woman under 18 years,
even with her consent, or over 18 with
out it. ,
Wyoming is alone in considering the
male and female babltuos of houses of
prostitution as guilty of the same
offence, but gives the male a double
punishment, a fine of tlOO and 00 days
Imprisonment.
The census statistics show tbat al
though the population of Wyoming in
creased between 1880 and '00 127.0 per
cent the per cent, of criminals had not
increased at all, There were in 1880, 74
criminals in the prisons of tho state
72 men and 2 women, while in 1890
there were 71 men and no women, the
"vicious woman In politics'' disappear
ing entirely.
The constitution and laws of Wyom
ing ro the first ia the world In the
formulation of which woman had a
direct Influence, and from theso few
extracts any fair mlndrl person can
judge a to whether, the legislation of
that state has not been aimed at the
betterment of humanity.
In his attempt to cast discredit upon
a woman suffrage state, Mr, Crounte
says: "But it Is true that in Lincoln,
the Capital City of Nebraska, a city of
more than 631,000 inhabitants, there are
no gambling houses, no houses of prostl-
titlor, and the few saloon' which exH
are held under the most rigid restric
tion," As to this statement the citi
zens of Lincoln are qualified to judge,
but in many of the other cities and
towns of Nebraska such a hsppy state
of affairs does not exist, possibly because
they are not headquarters for so many
old school politicians Even If it be
true that tho laws are not enforced
against gambling in Cbeyenne, that
can not be justly charged to equal suff
rage. The governor and his correspon
dent In their anxiety to lay everything
upon the worn in, seemingly forgot to
state that the mascultno Is twice as large
as the femlne population, and tbat the
women comprise only about one-third
of the voters. They teemed to thick
it fair to hold that small portion of the
voters responsible for the enforcemnt
ot tbe laws. Woven do not expect that
their influence, i vea if crystallized Into
law is going to do away with drunken
ness and vice at once. Tbey know that
these thlmrs will continue until man
evolves to it higher civilisation and
knowledge, until hebecomf convinced
that tbey are the greatest obstacles to
true and noble manhood.
