r rill and D. T. Sherrett are all candidates
in the city council. . Their records are bad. They have
T been false to the people's interests and they have been
' on many occasions the willing tools of the liquor inter

' are now posing al the friends of the people and the pro

these pretensions. No man of common sense supposes
that it is from public spirit and disinterested motives that
" '" these councilmen seek another term. '
There are other candidates for the council whose

MINISTERS IN POLITICS.
So far as municipal elections are concerned, at least,
are full-fledged citizens, as wen as
is a moral and "an imrVioraTide -to
politics, and morality is a necessary ingredient or con
cfimitant of religion. Half the dishonesty and grafting
and skullduggery extant in a city is brad in -politics, rises
out of politics. It is the minister's business to combat
it is absolutely necessary, to interest
to sv certain-extent, and at least onf
. .. . , ,
Must the preacher's tongue be tied, his pen withheld
from the condemnation of great and dangerous wrongs,
because- they; spring from and are associated with poli
tics? Surely hot. .
Besides, in this municipal campaign a certain ticket is
the ticket of certain elements in this community sum
ming them all up in a word, the bad elements, those that
make for vice, and evil, and corruption and iniquity.
This beirlg known, must a minister still vote that ticket
because he is a Republican? Or if. not must he remain
dumb and inert, taking no part in the contest, lest he be
taunted with going into politict?
Since the liquor dealers as a body have gone into
politics, why should not the ministers of Portland do the
same? And why should not a leader among them pub
licly express his" opinions and give his reasons therefor?
iYe-re not teaching minister their -Jut y-'nor giving
