Inc annual interest charge BY reason
of State, municipal and county debt, it
will be seen, is about the same a. that
Of the national debt. In other words,
shs total interest burden Of the country
is $13S, 1926, ,321, about 81 70 per man.
The debt Of course bears most heavily
In the New England and the Middle
States, where the bulk of the values are.
The average rate OF interest paid in
this State and local debt is SO per cent;
in the New England States, b,55 per
cent; In the Middle States 9 per cent;
in the Southern 81; in the Western
States Z per cent; in the Territories
"a per cent.
The purposes for which large portion
OF the debt was contracted were bene-
fcial ones, and likely to prove remuner.
ative. These varisus purposes hsrs
shown. With . debt per capita Of but
$13 43 and an interest charge Of but IS
cents for each citizen, 1t cannot be con.
sidered that the Southern States are
heavily handicapped for the industrial

A Fanatic Breeder.

When a steamboat on the Missis-
sippi river is wrecked, and seventeen
passengers, including men, womon
and children, perish in sight of land,
and the dreadful calamity is traced
directly to the existence of cargo
of whisky on board, out of which the
officers and crew of the ll-fated stea-
mer got drunk, and were unable to
manage the craft; and because they
were drunk, the steamer was wreck
ed, and her passengers drowned;
don't you, fairminded man that you
are, see what a devil whisky is, and
don't. you think it the duty of gov
ernments to fence out, and if needs
be, exterminate this devil? Suppose
you had been upon your bridal tour,
on hoard of this very steamer, the
Jennie Gilchrist, which was thus
wrecked 10y drunken crew near
Rock Island last month, and yo1 had
survived, and she had perished, would
you be fanatic if you cursed whis-
ky and the whisky traffic for the rest
,of your life? Down went the ILL.,
starred craft, and the innocent and
the guilty, the passengers and th'
drunken crow, all persisted together
and the man who owned the liquo
cursed thc drunken crew, ard mourn
ed-o,er the los, OF his wLiskoy

I" The OF Year.

BY the "of year. the Profession
al ssviors of the country mean this
year in which the ballot-boxing is
limited to electing somebody to the
local Offices. In this year the num-
Der Of those who participate in the
work of saving the country is gene
rally smaller than in the years when
national ballot boxing is done. The
reason Of this has relation to the in
alienable right of the voting man to
pursue happiness. Human happi-
ness, according to the Jetlersonian
understanding Of it, consists in elect
ing somebody, and the Americans
idea Of supreme or highest happiness
is to be continually electing some
body throughout all eternity. Some
philosopher has directed attention to
the very different (and peculiarly an
thropomorphic) notions Of heaven,
which are held by peoples of differ
ent religions. The heaven of the
christian, for instance, is a place
where angelic beings with wings oc-
cupy themselves throughout eternity
in hynn-singing and other bcatific
exercises. The Mohammedan's heav-
en- is place Astounding in voluptu-
Gus young women, without supera-
bundance Of clothing. The heaven
Of the Jew is city with street pave
ments Of gold, whore all the inhabit-
ants wear gold crowns on their heads,
and ouameut themselves with pre-
cious stones. Tho American Indian
thinks of heaven a. happy hunting
gromG Bot, 90 the American poll
teian, heaven is country where the
people are otcraaiW eiecting some
body; where every e'cctor is eligible
TO tle thrape Of the supreme Being,
and there sfe no of years in politics.
For, as the officers elected in the of
years are uot tire highest, the happi-
ness Of. the politician is not SO high
az that which lie is enabled to pur-
sue when a president or congress-
man Is to be elected. And herein is
the explanation of the phenomenon
of much smaller number of votes
given in the "oG years than in the
other years. Chicago Tribune.

New York, November 26. Dir.
Samuel &. Armor, dean OF the facul-
ty of Long Island college hospital,
Brooklyn, says in reference to Gui-
teau's condition that the world is full
Of Guiteaus, lily balanced mental
monstrocitics, compounded of badly
arranged intellectual forces, feeble
moral faculties and enormous self
conceit. Such people are kind OF
"missing link" between low and
irresponsible type of brain and the
supreme IDEAL Of perfect humanity
If such persons are pronounced ire
sponsible for their deliberately plan
ned purposes Of murder, society has
no longer any safeguards against
the very worst element of its popu-
lation. Compared with such charac-
tcrs, insane people are perfectly
harmless, for they are usually con
fined.

Cor. Iverson A. Jones, and other

Col. lverson A. Jones, and other
anti-tcmperance advocates make a
strong point of what they claim to be
a fact, "that the more that is done to
prevent men from drinking whiskey
the more they will drink" If that i.
so, how will they account for the foil-
urc of so many wholesale liquor deal
ers? For judging from the gigantic
efforts being made throughout the
United States to suppress the traffic,
we would expect to see this particular
branch of trade literally wallowing
in wealth. If "prohibition does not
prohibit it succeeds in closing some
of the big liquor houses, and the little
ones of Arkansas will follow suit on
the Ist. Of January. Put that down,

Dying Hard.

says the Searcy Beacon, "dies hard,
but it is nevertheless surely 'going,
going and the third stroke of the
hammer is nearly down, with the
glad news, gone attached to it."
The Beacon then recounts the result
of the legal battle at Osceola in the
County and Circuit Courts, and pre-
diets the speedy end Of the whisky
traffic in the state. 1t does seem to
us that the wonderful progress of
such movement in state like Ar
kansas, ought to be a weighty argu-
ment in proof of the fearful evils
which intemperance had entailed up
on our people. Rightly looked at,
what is known in this state as the
temperance boom, is simply the strug-
giles of high-hearted, generous peo-
pie to save themseles from the de-
structive influences of vicious So
cial custom. Those who had expe-
rieEced, or accurately observed, with
sympathetic feelings, the misery and
shame and mi-barbarism directly
following from our drinking habits,
at last felt urged by an irresistible
impulse, to rise and protest against
the power which was destroying
them. We well remember the time
when lawyer Of this place, in the
summer OF 1879, took as the key note
of a temperance address, the words
of Hosea, MY people are destroyed
from lack of knowledge" on which
occasion, a well known saloon keep
er of this place, (still in the business)
also, at the same time addressed the
audience, and drew a most ghastly
picture of the hideous effects of the
use of alcoholic stimulants on the
home circle, unexplained how men
would come to his saloon, and spend
their money for an article which kill
ed both soul and body, and ontailed
n its consequences unutterable suG-
feriug and social degradation ou in-
uoccnt families. The saloon keeper
spoke for nearly au hour, and the
audience plainly seeing that he spoke
as one having understanding of the
subject, took in all he said, accepted
his testimony as that of d competent
witness of the truth Of Hosea, that
the people were being destroyed for
lack of knowledge, and nearly all Of
them came forward and took the
pledge. No wonder, then, that the
cause should boom in this county,
when even salooa keeper felt him
self driven by an empowering con-
viction of the danger to our people,
from the use of alcoholic stimulauts,
to get up in church and lecture the
people against the sin of intemper
ance, and fgurativcly speaking, weep
and lament for their suffering homes.
Such witnesses in favor of temper
ance, make it perfectly safe to com
nit the case to the jury.

Natural Governors OfThe
Country.

Forney, John W.. has been a good
while making up his mind about it,
but he has at last come to the con-
clusion that the democratic party is
bound to rule this democratic coun-
try-that all other parties are des-
tined to fall to pieces. In late is
sue of Progress he says: "The dem
ocrats are the natural governors of
this democratic country. The re-
publicans are the offspring of one
of the exceptional intervals of
evil; the parenthesis of parties; nat
ural but wholly unnecessary in the
grammar of American history, The
mere fact that the republicans claim
ed to have saved the republic from
the rebellion and yet are whipped
out of their majority in one-third of
the union, and hold only a bare sal
wage in the other portion, show that
they are not only intruders, but in
competents. They have all the adj
vantages of money, place, plunder
and craft, and they barely save their
distance. Why? Because they lack
the chief expedient of sincerity.
They have no confidence in them
selves, and nobody has any conf
dence in them. That is the secret
of their suicide. 1t would be mon
strous il it were otherwise. The
democrats are as naturally the mas
ters of tins continent as real people
are the makers of real constitutions.
The republicans, or wings, or feder-
alists, are as spasmodic as contagion
born of bad times, bad weather, ac-
cidents and war, and Us logically
temporary, while the democrats are
the growth of history. health, reason,
and the harmony of things. The re-
publicans or wings of the United
States, like the tories of England
and the imperialists of France, never
win save by expedients or calamities |
of their adversaries. The democrats
of the United States, like the liberals |
of England, the people of Ireland,
and the radicals of France, are the
great body of the state, the founda-
tion and the superstructure of the
whole national ediGce; frequently OBJ
scured and overcome, and sometimes
mistaken, but in the end the supreme
power and ultimate dictator. Life
is no more eternal, death is no more
absolute than democracy. We trace
this stern axiom in the whole present
phase of humanity. The democracy
are the productive poor, the toiling
masses, the impulsive, generous, fire.

There is some good, solid sense
in the following paragraph which
we clip from the Monroe Co. Sun;
at is a notorious fact that when
ever a circus is billed to exhibit in a
town on certain day, the country
people for miles around will flock
together on that special day, and do
homage to the Snowman in the way
of spending every cent ofmoney they
have in getting on the inside of the
tent for the parposc Of seeing few
.somersaults, handsprngs, leapfrogs,
riding horses, and monkeys, yet
these same people when you talk to
them about their affairs at home,
cry hard times, uothing to eat in the
house, the children naked, and don't
know what to DO To remedy it. Our
town has been the scene Of two OF
these circuses that tramp through the
country in these lard times, taking
away good bard earned money from
the country people who cry hard
times. Hard times, nothing 10 cet
and wear are not thought Of when
one of them is in town. All Is Joy
and happiness for the time being and
when they go back home thinking Of
the fraud of a thing, they swear they
will never go to another; no not
until the next one comes along,
whose bills are more glaring upon
the boards. Our people do not re-
fleet enough in these trying times,
and we advise them now, to let cir
cuses alone, fox when you see one
YOU see all.
