Total Abstinence and Physical En-
durance.

Mr.. Keeble, the noted Temperance
advocate, has become quite lion among
the Temperance and church people.
He completed yesterday in the city one
of the greatest featS of physical endur-
ance on record. Its accomplishment
was undertaken for the purpose of
proving to the world that the physical
system of sound man who never uses
alcohol is capable OF sustaining greater
and more protracted fatigue than is the
physical system of an equally sound
man accustomed to its use even in
moderation. Mr.. Keeble had in most
of his Temperance lectures insisted
upon this point, and generally chal-
lenged his opponents to undertake a
test with him. Being man of fine
physique his challenges were not &C
cepted. He then determined to exem-
pity in his own powers of endurance
the virtues of Temperance by feat of
endurance in walking, choosing that
because he had no experience either as
professional or amateur pedestrian,
and regarding walking as the complet-
est form of physical eXertion. He
undertook to walk 1000 miles
within 445 hours, and to average
during the entire period two and
one-quarter miles per hour. No person
but himself believed he would ever sue
coed, but he said he would, because he
meant to in the interest of religion and
humanity. Yesterday he finished his
1,000th mile within the allotted time. and
ended apparently fresh and certainly in
excel ent spirits and health. A dispute
arose at the completion Of the next to
the last mile, growing out of the decimal
difficulty in adjusting the time in
the last mile to the total distance to
be covered, and Mr.. Keeble continued
walking until the dispute was settled.
1t was referred to the sporting judges,
who happened to be at the time in an
other part of the city, and before the
decision, which was in favor of the pc
destrian, was delivered on the premises,
Mr. Keeble had walked 456 hours, and
covered a total of 1.025 miles, finishing
in good condition. An admirer of Mr.
Keeble has offered to back him against
any other pedestrian in the world in an
attempt to walk $500 miles in 1000
hours, and make two and one-quarter
miles in each and every hour.-London

The Four Pillars Of Temperance.

The pillars of Reason, of Science, of
Scripture and of Experience are shown
by Kirton to be the true and sufficient
supports of the Temperance reform.
The nature and effects of drink; the law
of self preservation; the peril of tip
ping and other considerations confirm
the reasonableness of abstinence. The
overwhelming testimony of chemists,
physicians and surgeons, indeed that of
all unprejudiced Psychologists, goes to
show not only that alcohol has no diet
etc value, but, as a beverage, is iniu-
rious to body and mind. Equally
abundant and conclusive are the Bible
arguments for Temperance. But, if
anything more could shed light upon
the subject, the lamp of experience is
at hand. Facts and statistics are unan-
swerable.
Hon. Chief Justice Noah Davis, who
speaks with the careful forethought of
a Judge weighing well his words, says:
''Ihere is an average of more than two
persons murdered in New York City
weekly; that there are $1,000 persons
arrested annually for crime, and that
nine-tenths of the crimes committed,
were traced directly to the grog-shops."
He says, further; Il have sat on the
bench twenty-six years, and have SEN
fenced to death many and the poor
wretch had no other excuse but Il was
drunk Our laws make that an aggra-
walton of the crime, while it legalizes
the drunkard- makers"
While the wisdom of third party
may not be admitted by all friends OF
Temperance, no one can fail to see the
imperative need of urging the four-fold
argument referred to; thus q basis is
laid which will strengthen and vitalize
public sentiment, out of which, in time,
will grow Legislation adapted to the ne
cessities of the e.-Bapttst Weekly.
The Sons of Temperance in London
numbering about $500 have a sick rate
of forty per cent. less than other bene-
ticiary societies and death rate of five
a year per 1000, about half that OF
others. The advantages of total absti-
hence are not fully shown here, for
many of the Sons have injured their
health and shortened their lives by pre-
vious Incorporate habits, and many
have inherited imperfect constitutions
1919 PSA"uS PsVASh'of phuo uIC
death and sick rate of the Sons is in
creased, while on the other hand at
least ten per cent. of the members. OF
other societies are either sturdy abstain
ers or very rarely drink. That reduces
the sick and death rate of those socie-
ties. Life and health will be wonder
fully improved when the rum pestilence
is ended. San Francisco Rescue.
THE recent Florida enactment for
bidding licenses for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, except upon a petition
of a majority of the voters of the cleo.
ton district, has been considered by the
Supreme Court and the constitutional
ty of the act affirmed. The people in
any election district may hence declare
absolute, prohibition if they choose. In
many sections of Florida liquor can not
be obtained for love or money. 1t will
not be ten years until the States of the
South will lead all the States of the
Union ON the Temperance question.

WHO WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES?

There are those whom Fame has crowned;
There are those whose brows are bound
With chaplets; and they're standing
'Mong the great ones of to-day;
Our leaders, our commanders,
Our Caesars, Alexanders-
All! who will take their places
When they are called away?
There are those supremacy good,
Those who covet angels food,
To whom the world is debtor
Every hour of the day:
The patient, meek and lowiy, Y
Unseltish, pure and holy
All! who will take their places
When they are called away?
There are those our hearts hold dear
Friends of many and many year.
Who move us and who mold us
By Loves magnetic sway:
The fond and the forgiving,
Who make life worth the living
All who can take their places
When they are called away
Somewhere they are IN training,
Full soon they will be reigning,
On thrones as bright with splendor
As those we see to-day H..
Their noble gifts displaying, t.t
Their hearts behests obeying--
And these will take our places
When we are called away

didate as the democratic party has named
for representative Of Lincoln county in the
person OF Judge +. =. Hill, Jr, il is the
duty aud should be the pride OF every
democrat 10 see that his majority ia rolled
up TO the highest number. Judge Brown
beat Judge Lylle 5i5 votes in the lals
county election and there is no reason that
Hills should not greatly exceed that; on
tue contrary there are many reasons why
it should. Lytle represented the republic
can party and is a man Of standing both
socially and financially. Bobbitt repre-.
sents nothing, is everything to every man
a sort Of political hermaphrodile, ready to
assume either OF both characters to be elect
ell TO the Legislature. His election, ifsuoh
thing were possible, would reflect no
honor on any body or any party, whereas
Judge Hills advancement would not only
be compliment 10 one Of our most de-
serving young men, but be credit alike

man Of convictions, with courage to ex.
press them, he has shown in the present
canvass his ability 10 hold his own in ar.
gument and We guarantee that his record
at Frankfort, next winteI, will be such as
