Show Forty saloons were voted out of existence in Illinois last week, in various township elections with some former ''dry'' territory reverting to license. li-cense. The net result of the election seems to show . that the state now has thirty-five absolutely dry counties, with many counties wet only in one or two towns. A vigorous fight was put up by the saloon interests, and the temperance forces were somewhat disappointed inasmuch as they had expected ex-pected more, basing their expectations on the result re-sult of the elections three weeks ago. State-wide prohibition, it is expected, will be an issue at the fall elections. A dealer in wigs and switches may not be a bad citizen, but he surely is a tress passer. Immigration into the United States in March was C2.517, as against 139,118 in March a year ago. The financial panic seems to have some compensation, com-pensation, after all. Statesmanship consists of getting on every side of a question, and, when experience demonstrates which side is right, forgetting all you ever said on the wrong side and having all you ever said on the right side printed as a campaign document. This, we say, is statesmanship. Once a man experiences the changes wrought in his heart by the holy spirit of God, he knows what has made Christianity the vital force it has been in the world for nineteen hundred years. You can enter en-ter into arguments with him, dispute with him upon the merits of his position, but you can't change his opinion in one essential, for he knows. On almost any moral or religious question as well as on questions ques-tions in no way connected with religious thought, an alert mind can produce arguments attacking or'de-fending or'de-fending the position of others, but the wisest dis putant, while he may shake the intellect, cannot alter the opinion of the man who has had the love of God shed abroad in his heart.. God knew better than to make the scat of intellect the abiding place of faith. Faith lies in the heart the seat of the emotions. The intellect dominates the unbeliever while the faith of the Christian becomes, a part of knowledge unto which the unbeliever never can attain. at-tain. Logicians who have not experienced the influences in-fluences of divine grace cannot understand the absolute ab-solute impregnability of the Christian's position They do not know that the inner experiences can not be driven out by argument , 77 "" . .
