PARTY PRINCIPLES
Horn Discusses
Divorce Evil
(R. C. HORN.)
"And Jehovah, Goti, said, It Is not
j?ood that the mail should be alone."
Gen. 2:18.
Jehovah saw the wants of life,
Nor left man solitary here,
Hut gave hkn Eve for his wife
In lonely hours his heart to cheer.
A home prepared, their lives to bless
And food lor every taste,
Was Riven man. what happiness,
With woman's love so chaste?
There bloomed the rose and Illy fair
Among the evergreen's,
The former cheered the happy pair,
The later formed a screen.
I have, in rhyme, described the sur-
rounding* «t' the first pair which were
such as to make them very happy. Ood
Intended that marriage should bring
real hcfiplnes* to both husband and
wife, in all true marriages (marriages
where the two an made one) I think
this is true. Only sin can destroy this
happiness.
According to the pleas made In all
divorce cases sin was the real cause.
If the husband failed to discharge his
I'uty it was sin. If the wife failed to
perform the duties of a wife it was
sin. It adultery was the plea sin was
thi* cause. Divorces are the fruits of
unfaithfulness to the Kuiniage vows
on the part of one or both parties to
the contract. When marriage has its
beginning in true love, and that love
grows with the years of married life it
will abide until death brings the sepa-
ration.
The relation or husband and wife Is
« very sacred one and should not be
formed too hastily. Serious thought
on what it really means for future hnp-
piness and usefulness should engage
the mind* of both parties before vows
are taken. If marriage is of God then
"what God has Joined together let no
man separate." Our loose laws are
making separation e sy, and are caus-
ing hasty legal marriages. We need
an amendment to our national consti-
tution hat makes divorces more diffi-
cult to obtain and prohibiting r, second
marriage except fur the cause of adul-
tery. In cases of adultery the Inno-
cent only should be allowed to marry
again. Another prevention would be
n fee paid to the State, or county, so
large as to make It an expensive de-
cree.
The home Is the foundation of socie-
ty, State and church, hence there Is
rot hi tig of more Importance than to
protect the home. The sanctity of the
home Is being violated In many cases
In this fast age. Parental control Is
not what It should be, and too, Intlmn-
cy Is shown between the sexes. Tho
young are devoted to pleasure more
than to useful employment. It seems
that the moral pulso of society beats
very slowly. Solomon tells the youth
to go on this way If they will, but not
to lose sight of the day of accounts.
He says, "Rejoice young man In thy
youth and let thy heart cheer thee in
the days of thy youth, and walk In the
ways of thy heart, and In the sight of
thine eyes; but. know thou that for all
these things God will bring thee Into
Judgment."

Honey Grove, Tex., July 27.—tun-
eral service for Dr. James W. Hill,
pioneer Methodist minister, who died
at his homo at Honey Grove yesterday!
morning, will be held from the George j
A. Brewer Chapel in Dallas at 10 a. m. I

cluded at Oakland Cemetery this
morning, the Rev. E. W. Aldorson of,

and tho Rev. Charles A. Spraggins of,
Sherman officiating.
Dr. Hill, who was born In White j
County, Ark., June 23, 1854, caine to1
Texas with his parents in 1865. His
falher died tho following year, leav-
ing him to care for his widowed moth-
er. Ho attondod McKlnzle College at
Clarksvtlle and was afterward taught
Greek and German by private Instruc-
tors.
He was converted under the preach-
ing of tho Rov. I. B. Ellis at a camp
meeting in Lamar County in August,
lfc72 and two years later was author-
ized to preach. From that time he de-
voted his life to church work. He
ranked among tho leading ministers or
hts denomination. The following is
taken from one of his notebooks:
"I have built a few churches mostly
in the country, but I have helped to
pay several of tho large debts on
many of the city churches. I have
witnessed more than stx thousand con-
versions and have received nearly that
number In my church. Mny of them
have gone before mo to tho better
world nd I hope to meet them there
some day."
As associate editor of tho Texas
Christian Advocate, Dr. Hill Is said to
have written somo of the best articles
to bo found In the files of that publi-
cation. While he was engaged In edi-
torial work he published two books,
"The North Texas Pulpit" and Texas
Characters and Elso." Both books are
well known In the church world.
Dr. Hill filled the chair of church
history In tho Southwestern Univer-
sity for seven years. The degree of
doctor of divinity was conferred upon
him by the university in 1914. He was
at one time pastor of the First Meth-
odist Church of Dallas. At tho time
of his death he was pastor of tho
Methodist Church at Honey Orovo. Ho

of Dallas, and sister, Miss Nettle Hill
of Fort Worth.
He had been a member of tho North
Texas Conforenco of the Southern
Methodist Church about forty-three
years, and had served churches at
McKinney, Dallas, Penlson, Com-
merce. Whltosboro, Denton, Gaines-
ville, Paris, and at San Antonio In tho
Southwest Texas Conference.

McKinney, Texas, July 31.—I no-
tice In your Ihsuc of July 28 an article
from Mr. M. M. Crane in which he
discusses at length the two candidates
for Governor, Mr. Bailey and Mr.
Neff. Mr. Crane says his Idea of a
Democrat is one who believes in the
party creed and votes the party ticket.
But what is the party creed? If every
national Democratic platform from
1800 to 11)16 inclusive and the teach-
ings of Democratic leaders during that
time constitute the creed of the
Democratic party, then Mr. Bailey Is
a faithful disciple of the Democratic
party. For every one of those plat-
forms, either directly or Indirectly, de-
clared for State rights and no nation-
al Democratic platform ever abandon-
ed the doctrine of State rights except
the one of 1U20. Mr, Crane seems to
think the League of Nations and na-
tional Woman suffrage now form the
creed of the Democratic party, when
such doctrine is not four years old.
No national Democratic platform ever
dec tared for national woman suffrage
except tho one of 1920, and it had to
borrow the plank from the Republican
party, which adopted it a few weeks
before. And now Mr. Crane wants to
read every man out of the Demo-
cratic party who will not swallow that
Republican plank and who will not
forever tie the Democratic party to
the apron strings of the National Mili-
tant Suffragettes. Mr. Crane would
have us abandon the doctrine of
State rights, the light of the people to
rule and acquiescence In the wljl of
the majority, all for national woman
suffrage.
He says it is as Impossible for a man
to be a Democrat and repudiate the
platform as it Is to be a Christian and
repudiate the Nazarene. As General
Houston Baid to Santa Anna, "You
should have remembered that at the
Alamo and Goliad."The 1916 platform
upon which we elected Mr. Wilson
and both "houses of Congress declared.
"Wo lecommend woman suffrage by
the States," showing the partv still
adhered to State rights. And yet in
les* than three years we see that ad-
ministration repudiating that plat-
form. In addition to the platform. Mr.
Wilson said he was opposed to nation-
al woman suffrage and that Stute
rights was a lifelong conviction with
him. Yet that platform was treated
like a scrap of paper or like Ger-
many e treaty with Belgium. If the
present administration had carried out
that p atform and left the question of
woman suffrage with the States there
would be no division of importance
in the party now. Mr. Bailey thinks
the party ought to have stayed with
the i.latform and State rights, lie
also tl inks that 25.000 majority
against woman suffrage in ll)1.9
should have been obeyed by all tho
legislators and United States Senators
and Congressmen, or they should
have resigned and not collected their
salaries off of the people whose in
structions they refused to obey.
Mr, Bailey believes in the binding
force of platform when fairly adopt-
ed so as to express the will of the
people, and he believes In letting the
majority rule when they vote upon a
question. While Mr. Neff does not be-
lieve in the binding force of the plat-
form of 1916, for he indorses the nat-
ional administration for repudiating
it. Neither does he believe in major-
ity rule, for he indorses the State
Legislature for overriding the will of a
25,000 majority of the people on wom-
an suffrage. He is also reported to
have said that he did not believe
much in platforms, but believed in
settling questions as they arose.
Mr. Bailey stated in his opening
speech that if he was defeated he
would support tho nominee and yet
Mr. Neff is rfeported to have said that
there was one of the Democratic can-
didates that he would not support if
no other man was in the race.
Therefore, according to Mr.
Crane's definition, which of the two
candidates is the better Democrat?
Mr. Crane says Mr. Neff looked
across the ocean and saw our boys
tho people to buy bonds. He could
havt; soon the only two boys of Mr.
Ballev in tlie setvicc, one or whom
> hi the treaties with h's com-
rades falling around him and the
other in rosorve read;, whon ordered
to go forward. How i/iany hoys did
Mr. Neff send to the trenches? Was
it the Liberty bond speakers or tho
boys In the trcnches that drove back
the Hun? Was it the men who fur-
nished tho boys or the men who fur-
nished the advice that did tho most
to win tho war. Go ask the mothers
and fathers whose sons are sleeping
In I ranee who paid tho greatest price
for our victory.
Mr. Bailey has spent five times as
much time In Texas during the last
ten years as both Senators Culberson
and Sheppard and has shown himself
one hundred times a better friend to
Texas than either of them, for ho
would not have voted to force na-
tional woman suffrage upon Texas
against the will of her people Ilka
Culberson and Sheppard did.
If Mr. Bailey is tho nominee for
Governor will Mr. Crane support him
In the November election? If Mr. Bai-
ley is elected does Mr. Crane think
that the will of the people ought to
bo thwarted and he be denied his
seat as Governor because of tho tech-
nical claim of nonresldence?

Bumper Crop Tlds Year.
Wo knew that our fertile soil was
well adapted to wheat and in times
past have made claims for it that
might have appeared like exaggera-
tion, but this year the dreams of the
most optimistic are being realized in
regard to the production of wheat.
Last week wo reported yield of 47
bushels to the acre, and thought that
wo hat! surely reached the limit, but
on Saturday, fW. L. Megowan, one
among the splendid citizens and farm-
ers of the Cone community, was in
town, and tells us that much of the
wheat In that community is turning
out more than 50 bushels to the acre.
—Rial Is (Cosby County) Banner.
We understand that Jim Foy a Mc-
Kinney reared boy, lives in the same
neighborhood of the above mentioned
50 bushel per acre yield. We hope
that he had a good acreage and made
on a similarly big yield.
