CEDARVILLE. OHIO, FRIDAY. JUNE 25, [90S. PRICE $1.00 A YEAR. L 10 SPRINGFIELD. RELIGIOUS CONFLICT. Thr man Interested in the Spring- field and Jamestown motor ear lino were ill town Tuesday having driven over the lino making an. inspection of the route. In the party were John Harshman, one of the pioneer eleetricruad builders in this part of the state, T. J. McCormick, a prominent young attorney oi .Spring- field, and Frank Torrence of the same city. The line will be in operation ac­ cording to the present plansin about sixty days.' The orders for the cars such as was told of in a former issue of the Herald, have been plaited and these gentlemen assure the pub lie that it is their intention to put thorn in use upon their arrival. The fare is said to bo about the same as that of an electric line and it is expected that an hourly service be instituted between this place and Springfield. Not only will passen­ gers be looked after but a freight motor car will be used also so that quick shipments can be made to any point along tlie line. The company will he incororated this week or the first of the next for $50,000, of which $80,000 has' already been subscribed. The balance, $20,000will be offered to parties along the line that want prefered stock -with five per cent interest,- The putting of such a line in oper­ ation is not like the.work of building an electric road costing $20,000 a mile and it can readily be seen that such a.tiling should be a good pay­ ing investment. . It is the intention of the company of putting the roads in a first class condition,, something in itself of greatvalue to the'farmer. The only objectional feature about’ 'the line that we have heard mentioned is that/there will he great dangers in persons meetingsuch machines with horses not accustomed to them. The same thing was true when the hicycle was introduded and is. true todayv. with the ordinary auto. Horse's will have to he educated just, as they are when first taken to the "city,';. RECEIVED CALL. £, Rev. Walter Condon, has just re­ ceived a call to a United Presby ter­ ian congregation at Tranquility, O,, and expects to talce’bhq charge about the first of August. Rev. Condon Is a graduate of the local college and of tile Xenia Seminary.. During the past year ho attended Princeton Seminary, finishing his work there just before ho ^vas extended the call.

"4 nmrow yfftrtraa anJ.tAiw* ft isnojtffrtustf head or IdfcCkflif tjhlr!i Idft What we have long foreseen is at hand—a conflict between the moral and religious, forces of Ohio on- one hand, and certain politicians on the other, who make party success par­ amount to every1other claim. If these politicians can make the promotion .of the temperance cause help their party, they will do so, and then claim, great virtue for it. If the churches and temperance people are willing to. dance attendance on their convenience, if the ..Anti-Saloon League of the churches can be made to come and go .according to their needs with the obedience of a spaniel hunting birds, or to fetch°and carry like a hod-carrier attending a brick layer, then, in their opinion, the Lea­ gue is “ calculated to effoct great good” . ■■v But as soon as the churches refuse to be a tall to some partisan kite; as soon as with self-respect and fidelity to truth they propose-to use their votes to answer their own prayers for the coming of God’s kingdom, that, to certain professional politicians, becomes “ dictation to our party.’ Cannot men see that sooner or lat­ er a conflict was bound to come be­ tween the churches and this type of politicians? Tt is simply impossible to •serve God and .mammon. We have to choose whether we will fol­ low our consciences and cast our bal­ lots as we please, or bow down to some political boss who tries to hold tlie church vote in one hand and the saloon vote in the other, that hemay beat his opponent and gain the offi­ ces. ■ We are perfectly well aware that there are some politicians who.: be­ long to church.. We do not need neces sarily deny a religious el,ement in their nature. We can understand how they may pray and partake of communion, We are not required to deny that they may sometimes con­ tribute largely to good causes—to building churches, to equipping the Salvation Army, to taking a certain pleasure at times in religious exer cises. ■ - Bubjwatch them when moral issues are at stake; it. .will go down every time before what they consider a iarger-interest, that of their patty They are politions first Christians afterward. They are nob men of sterling principles: “ policy” is their guiding star: Such men are bound sooner or lat­ er to come, into collision with the fthuroh. The church takes herstand upon immutable truth, which no parties, no times norseason, nomera expediency, can change. The church, by her nature can only.plant herself in the position that ’is right andlunswervingly mantain it, know­ ing that sooner or later the men of policy musfeome round to her, .be oause the breath of eternity is iu her ‘nostrils* while they are but for a day. . Wha.t-vwould the politicians" of Ohio—what would Govenor Herrick in his heart think of the church if she struck hands with him in concil­ iating saloous,,in order that certain Republican politicians might gain a victory? When the politician’ s cause is right, then the church can approve and good men can vote with him. -But when he condones evil and makes partnership with iniquity, then the church can only resist. The difference between the polit­ icians of principle and the politician o f mere policy is seen in a Folk, or a Deneen,.or a Douglas,or a Hanly,as contrasted with a Herrick. The foregoing men are politicians, but principle is first with them, Taking their stand upon immutable right, the community comes around to them and honors them, Has any­ body any idea that the conscience of Ohio is over going to approve Gov­ ernor Herrick’s battle for the saloon interest? In the very nature of things, oven though ho should gain a temporary triumph next tall, large­ ly through misleading tliepeople,tlie cause and method he represents Is. doomed to defeat at last. As long as the church repents her own form­ ularies of doctrine and her own pro­ nouncements against the saloon, she Cannot look with any degreo of ap proval upon the man who becomes its defender.—American Issue.

The R, P. de nomination at large lias given about $9,600. for buildingpurposes, current expenses and endowment. Tlie tui­ tion has.amounted to about. $16,000, The college has expended directly in Cedarvillo during the past eleven years nearly $60,000.00 in addition to the money left in the village by students who made their headquart­ ers. here while securing an educa­ tion, We cannot estimate the intel­ lectual, moral and spiritual blessings it lias brought to. Cedarville as its influence lias prevadetl the homes, schools, places of business and churches. ' Such are some of the fruits of the first decade of Cedar­ ville College. Its outlook for the coming year is encouraging. We are cheered to note the "interest manifested by our citizens in general and if the next ten years bring an increase relative to what the^past ten have furnished, Cedarville will be famous as a progressive educa­ tional center of our rapidly growing country. The college offers an inestimable opportunity KTevery boy and girl of tliiil community to secure an educa­ tion, which will enable thorn to stand at thoNmmmifc In tliolr own vicinity and to take their places in the fore-front of all honorable voca­ tions.

One of the worst storms of the season, visited this section between eight and nine o’ clock Tuesday even­ ing. The rain came in torrents and the lightening made the heavens appear as a mass of flames. The worst damage done was the burning Of the barn belonging to Mr, John Taylor, on.the pike westof town'. It was Struck by the lightening in the east gable and in almost an instant the building was a mass of flame. Mr. DaVid Tarbox, happened to be looking at the barn at the time it was struck. He immediately crossed the fields in the rain, thinking that possibly there were live stock in the barn. He found only .one horse nridit had brokenloose and wanted out. It was impossible to save anything other than the horse and some bar- ’ ness. The loss Includes jt number of pieces of farm machinery and j about eight tons of timothy hay. The insurance was placed at $1000 and will cover all loss. The extent of the storm of Tues­ day night seemed to her largly in this county. At Xenia there was heavy damage, owing to the high water in Shawnee, a small stream that passes through the city. I t was I the highest Tuesday night it. has |been since the May flood of 1886, Iwhen twenty-eight lives were lost, ■beside thousands of dollars of prop­ e r ty damaged and lost. .

I t McMillans. - Goveiior William L. Douglas, of- Massachusetts, who never held or’ sought publi.e office previous to his overwhelming election last fall, is weary of his joband declares lie will not be candidate for re-election. He says he has no taste for officehold­ ing anil that he only consented to the use of his name before because ho had no notion he could be elected. Here, then, at last, is theman whom tlie office seeks. A Democrat, ho re­ ceived 70,000 more votes than Parker in one of the solidcst Republican states in the union and carried it. Ho fairly had the office thrust upon him. And thorp are indications that the people of Massachusetts are going to thrust the office upon him again, whether he wants it or not. And ho will have to aceeptit. When a man’s state demands Ids services, in war or peace, he must consent. Govenor Douglas has had good reason to become dissatisfied with officeholding. All\ his life honest, liberal business man, ho now finds himself up-against the cunning and littleness of the professional politi­ cians, and the atmosphere is oppres­ sive. He lias discovered that the governor who is honest has a lmrd row to hoe. Governor Douglas lias not deen supported by the managers and politicians Of his patty nor by the Democratic members of the leg­ islature. IIe has been too business­ like and loyal to the interests of the people. He has vetoed hills for graft and spoils that his own party leaders had supported. Ho has dec.Unod to make purely partisan appointments,1 Homo soi*e politicians accuse him of treating Republicans and indepents. as though they really have rights under a Democratic administration. Ill fihort, he has found the office anything but a bed of roses, and he has had enough. But has it come this—that an honest man cannot persuaded Io li.old the governor­ ship of one of tli© oldest and most llghly cultured states in tlie union? •Dayton Herald, The county commissioners havo refused to allow a claim of $190 by the Peok Williams Company of Cin­ cinnati for a ventilator in the Gallo­ way property In West Main street while it was serving as temporary court house. Judgo Scroggy and members of tlie board of commis­ sioners in offioo at that time confer- od with the present body before it was decided to refuso the claim. It is held that the ventilator •was -worthless and.was ordered removed shortly after it was placed in.
