These citizens as a rule are very active in anything they think will better Syracuse and it seems absurd that they would set the example of patronizing foriegn merchants. Though possibly they do uot realize it, nevertheless, they are inflicting an injury against the town they pretend to support. They recall to mind the old saying “Penny wise and pound foolish," Syracuse Is very fortunate in having a body of water that does not exact its toll of life and damage every spring. All over the state comes news of loss of life and damage to property. We have the pleasures of maritime pursuits without the horrors that generally attend. Young Men, more than anyone else, have probably noticed how the waist line changes nowadays. To. day when hugging their girls they are likely to choke them —tomorrow they are liable to trip them up.

A Criticism The Editors comments on the different kinds of men have been very interesting and we beg to go into a deeper study of the moral coward with him. He says: “This species of the human family is rare, usually; just at this time, however, the coining election has developed quite a few. We can’t exactly blame them in this particular instance, for verily, it is better to be a prosperous coward than a bankrupt business man.” We beg leave to differ from him about the rarity of the species, because any circumstance or condition requiring a sacrifice for principle will develop a surprisingly large number of them. Os moral cowards there are at least three classes: the man with the “shoestring” backbone described by the editor, the man who keeps in the middle of the road and the hypocrite who good and acts bad. The fellow with the “shoestring" backbone is the one who is easily influenced who has no real deep convictions regarding anything but allows those with whom he associates to think for him, environment has everything to do in determining what his life shall be, but he will never have a great deal of force for either good ; or evil, the fellow who talks religion when with Christians and against it when with uoti-Cbristians, who is wet with the 1 wets and dry with the drys is a good example of this class. He reminds us of the ’ people described in Rev. 3, 16 “So, then ’ because thou art hike warm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my ’ mouth. The next fellow, “the middle of the road” man is a little more of a man, he has a little cartilage iu his moral back- > bone, but it is composed of selfish ambition. Many men look only at the success of their own individual business without regard to the influence that their business and conduct have upon the community, losing sight of the fact that the welfare of the nation is the business of every man in it. The man who for. fear 1 of losing a dollar refuses to stand for what he believes is right, not only robs the cause of right of that much strength, but robs his own character of that same a mount of moral strength and the cause of right can usuallv stand such a loss better than the man’s character can. The great question comes to us, “For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose bis own soul,” (character)? Math. ( 16, 26, also Luke 16, 13, “No niau can serve two masters; Ye can not serve God and Mammon.” The hypocrite, the fellow who talks one thing and lives another is quite well known and found everywhere. Afraid to face adverse public opinion, he seeks to hide what he does, from the world for getting that what he does writes what he is so legibly upon his character that the world may read as it runs. As Job. 27 . 8 says, “What is the hope of the hypocrite though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul.” In studing History we find that Adam was the first moral coward of which there is any record, when he sought to shift the responsibility for disobedience upon Eve, he set an example to the race of men and more men seek to justify themselves by quoting Adam, than ever even think of standing iu the strength and courage of the Great Teacher and saying, “Get thee behind me. Sa an,” as described iu the fourth chapter of Matthews. Oue of Gods unchangeable laws is that “What so ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” Gal. 6,7. Now this is uot religion, it is science, natural law and it is also spiritual law. A man who sows wheat will reap wheat; whoever sows Canada thistles will reap Canada thistles, so will his posterity. No more can a man sow cowardice or treason without reaping the same kind with a proportionate. J ust as surely as Jacob of old sowed the kid’s skin to deceive his poor old blind father, and reaped the kid’s bk>od years later in the deception of his own sons, so surely will the fathers of today reap what they sow. If they sow the seeds of intemperance, avat ice, lust deciet and dishonesty by their lives just so surely will they reap the same with the increase;_and not only they, but their children even to the third and fourth generation. “It is easier for heaven and to pass than for one tittle of the law to fail.” Luke 16, 17. Dear Mr. Moral coward, live superficially, deny'-the truth of God’s word if you will, you can not change the fact of God’s laws working in the natural and spiritual f world’s anymwre than you can shut yourself up in adark room at noonday and establish the fact that the sun is not , shining. The Editor says; It is better to be a prosperous coward than a bankrupt business man. Yes, if the present were all there is. of life, but what about the ; reaping? Who knows what a day may bring forth. Benedict Arnold sold the plans of West Point for gold, but with the plans went his character for truth, his courage and picture him in a foreign country reaping his harvest. Judas Iscariot was from all accounts a successful business man, until he went and hanged himself. These men once stood where we stand today, with the right to choose between the gratification of selfishness or facing the world in the battle for the greater good of the race. They made their choice and the world remembered it, so we make our choice and while it may seem to be forgotten, God never forgets and in later years we will reap the the fruits of our choice, whatever it be. And the fate of the moral coward? Luke describes it in the 16th chapter of Luke, “And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments.” It is not necessary to die to be in hell, when a man gets to the place yvhfere no one believes what he says, no one cares for him except as they can use him to further their own selfish purposes, no one can trust him, hell has already begun for him and many a man has turned on the gas, took carbolic acid or cold lead in order to get away from the conciousness that he cannot escape, that will follow them through au endless eternity. The only escape from such a fate is to will to have courage to stand for Truth. According to John 8, 32, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” f Mrs. Darr. —Boys two-piece underwear for 25 cents a suit. A. W. Strieby & Son.
