The Bucklin New Era from Bucklin, Kansas • 4

-rT Ti rvv THE BUCKLIN NEW ERA FOR SALE; Failure of The Statehood Bill. The ne-uspayers of Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico, and Arizona are naturally very indignant over, the failure of the Statehood bill'. Some of them denounce it as a coldblooded conspiracy to keep the West in subjection to the East, and they are quite violent in their denunciations of the jealousy of the little dinky States in the East behind that littie ridge called the Allegh any Mountains. Some of the Indian Territory papers, lowever, take the view that while they vere anxious enough for Statehood, and willing to be united with Oklahoma, they do not want union in the way that was proposed by the Quay bill. They do not want to be attached to Oklahoma in any wav, but insist that the Indian Territoryshall have an equal voice in the new State.

They propose to be represented in the Constitutional Convention, man for man, to participate in the division of the public institutions, building for building, and for offices divided office for office.

He has announced that he will hereafter tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in his seimons at funer-ab. If he persists in this unique re form, we fear that someone will fee called upon to show him, even while he is vet in Missouri. It seems too bad that parents should tr in these days to bring up a family of children and deny them the benefit of plenty' of good wholesome reading matter in the home. Yet some do. We know of families where a story paper of the trashiest sort and filled with off color advertising matter is the only literary food given- the children.

When this fact is understood in all its bearings, it is no wonder where all the suckers spring from. Furnish the children good reading matter for the-home, no matter what it mav cost. Ei- J.L..

In our best state we great need to watch and pray. Prov. 20:29: Who canay, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin. This passage, is intended to reprove the boasting pf a selright-eous, conceited Pharisee, who not only claims a goodness he does not posess, but ascribes his fancied purity to himself. If God put in the heart of David, as every other -fi quest hqart, to pray, Create in me a ean.

heart, God I Will he not answer? He alone is able to purify the soul. Jobs prayer was answered, and Lord who eUnnot be deceived, gives His favor. Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none, like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth Gad and esclieweth evil? 1 John 1: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. It is evident that this refers to the natural condition of man. The apostle is speaking about the power of Jesus blood to cleanse ft i all sin.

It is those who, falsely and dangerously trusting.to their own morality, say they, do pot need Xo be cleansed from sin. The Apostle intends this verse for such men. But after we have -been convinced that we are sinners both by nature' and practice, he assures us.that,. If we confess our sins he 4s faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. These, we believe, are the strongest passages ever brought forward to prove the' necessary continuance of sin.

Look at them candidly, and you will be satisfied Ijt God looks -on sin with no degree of allowance. Reader, ask yourself the question, Am I at the present time, saved from sin? "You may have been once, but that does not help you now. It only makes your condition still more de-; plorable if you are still, enslaved by sin. Seek deliverance at once. Give po quarters.

Let every sin -die. Salvation from sin can alone secure- salvation in heaven. F. R. CLINE.

Most everything is seeded. to and land for spring crops is scarce. A man with a tired look on him and one hand in a sling called at the-back door of Taylors restaurant the other morning and asked for a meal. He said that he crippled but could work, the latter no doubt being true. He said he would clean up the yard in exchange for some necessaries of life.

But he was a bad foxy man, for after he had eaten and drank large amounts and had also gotten possession of a good sized sack full of good edibles and while T. J. was gone1 after a hand rake, the ungrateful wretch hied himself off and hit the road. T. J.

face wears an anxious, puzzled expression now. as if he feared he had at last once cast his bread upon waters whence it would never return, and his faith in human nature is on the wane. True politnes is to do and say The kindest things in tUe kindest Let the children use their company maimer ever day and use your own every day, too. Children learn as much from copying the grown-ups as tlky do from being taught things. Courtliness is coming into fashion again, and it is well it is-so.

Nothing oil the machinery of the world so well, the business world! the social world, or, greatest of all, the home life as true politeness does. Not sickisb flattery, but genuine courtliness. Therefore, as soon as your boy is old enough to have a cap that is not tied on, teach him to lift it to his aunts and cousins, too and to you and his sisters. Many boys who knowenougli to lift their hats to strangers do not know that tltey sltould do the same to members of theirown family. Allot lie thing that your boy wants to learn, and to have practice in, is that li-should open the door for his mother and sisters, as well as strangers, an I stand aside so that the ladies may pass first.

And teach him to rise and place the most comfortable chair for grandma whn she comes into th' room, and he should know that a gentle.min never remains seated while a la-Jv stands. An I have him walk at your left foml whn you are oa tlx streS- together, so as to save moth from bumps when tlvrr- is a crowed sidewalk. In a big city a man who walks thus saves a woman from many a hard loump. Do not wait until your boy is old enogl to pick up this kind of knowledge for himself he will be self-oon-scious then, an-l every little, act of politeness will always be more or less of an effort. True politeness springs- from the heart, and practiced constantly at borne will make that borne a wonderfully pleasant place to live in.

Girls usually learn social rules instinctively, but they, too. need help in learning to say thank you and if you pleas? and Ibegyourirurdon, -and in order to do it easily th-y nerd home practize in it. Tims the horn-practice serves tfr double purpose of making home more pleasant and enables the young folks to be at ease when strangers. Ex A man was killed in a prize fight in Connecticut last week.

Yet whm pn? of them is killed vJ? rendered a physical wreck, it is an 1 accident. And still the deadly, dualizing, worse than useless science goes on claiming its victims: making the successful fighter richer in money, perhaps, but poorer in manhood, and robbing of both, the people who are foolish enough to pay for the privilege of witnessing a spectacle that all civilized beings, should know better than to engage in, and which could not evist as an avoeation, without the patronage of the public.

-i. m-j Rotten Respectability. Revelations connected With the murder at Baff ilo are startling. These revelations involve what is known as the smart set of that city. The statements of some who to know what they are talking about are almost incredible.

Tit society' of Buffalo and of all other comuiuuitie-should be shocked. But the sa fact i'lthat it does not appear to be shocked to any extent. The smart set will go right on in its smart ways. Th same round of gayeties will be indulged in. The same low standards of morality will be maintained.

The most revolting thing about the revelations is the loose tions about personal purity and flu sacrednes pc the Jiome which seem to have e.uihil, and that without protest from society leaders. Virtue does not seem to ha re been essential to respectability. Men of bad morals have found ready access ito th most exclusive set. and th fact that a woman was suspected of social improprieties has been no bar to soeial recognition. This Buffalo situation can be duplicated in other American There are Buropeancountries Scot-1 nd is on-, Germany is otic, Holland is on wlim-e infidelity to the vows of tit marriage alter, no matter what-th rank of th dWinqivmt, means instant I a ad irrov'ocabe social ostracism- Th Van who in tills regard offends makes h.mself -a social pariah.

First the Edwards county delegation hotted for ITic-tor, then things went his way with a rush and a whoop, resulting in his nomination on the first ballot. When Mr. Murdock returned home, Wichita went wild. The crowd at the depot gathered him Up in its arms and carried him around with the greatest enthusiasm. Bands played for him, people yelled for him.

Then they took him off and feasted him with lots of pomp and other good things. But Wichita may as Well show herself proud of him.

Every awakened soul longs to be delivered from sin. No one can be rescued from its power and guilt without feeling lie is brought into bondage by it. But does the Bible teach, that we can have every wrong propensity of the soul destroyed? We are aware that some passages look at first as if the continu ence of sin in the soul Is unavoidable. Let us examine some of the more prominent of these parages. The first to which we call attention is In 1 Kings 8:46.

If they sin against tliee for there is no man that sinnetli not, In the. orignal Hebrew the word that Is translated sirtrleth is in the future tense. This tense says Htuart in bis Hebrew grammar page 307, designates all those shades of meaning which we express in English the auxiliaries taay, can, must, might, could, Would, should, etc. Thus Gen, 3:2 We MAY eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, The term may eat is, Itt the original in the future tense. also, 1 Kings 8 HO That tltey may fear thee, The phrase may fear is in the fufure tense in die Hebrew-.

The same is true, of -the phrase -may-know, in 43rd Verse, That itll the people of the earth may know thy name, Hence a literal translation of ehe 46th Verse Would read If they sin against thee, (for there ia ttef man that may not sin,) This teaches, not that every man does actually necessarily sin, but that every one is liable fo sin. There is a possibility, but not a necessity ihat fee should sin. tfo, also, the supposition, if they sin implies that they might sifi, or that they might hot MOst of the above remarks will apply to the passage found la EccL For there hot a mas upol? the earth that doeth good and sirfffeffe not.
