The complete success of the free bathing
beach during the summer season just clos
ing Is perhaps the strongest argument that
can be advanced in favor of more liberal
appropriation for this poular institution.
According to the report OF the superintend-
emf of the beach, recently submitted. 1851
bathers have registered during the summer
and all of this large number bathed safely.
lot only was there not a single fatal ac-
cident. but there was not a mishap worth
recording. This is a most satisfactory
record. That the free bathing beach is a
blessing from the standpoint of health and
cleanliness is evident, but it is from the
point of safety that its success can best be
gauged. m marked contrast to it's record
in this line is the fact that among the COM
paratively few who, in violation of the law,
bathed at other points along the river front,
there were eight cases OF drowning during
the summer. The moral of this is very
clear. that there should be free bathing
beach for the people and that it should re-
ceive generous and hearty support at the
hands of the powers that be.

Many of those who are deeply interested
in extensions of the liquor traffic within the
District of Columbia are planning another
assault upon the law which provides that
TO intoxicants shall be sold within an area
of one mile from the grounds Of the Soldiers
Home. That the movement will be success
full is far from probable, although powerful
influences will be brought to bear In its be-
half. No attempt will be made to touch the
limit lines on the north. east or west, but
Congress will be asked to amend the statute
so that those who want TO open saloons on
9Th street up to Florida Avenue may have
their desires gratihed. The interested public
will probably await with unfeigned curiosity
the appearance of the argument which
would be presented in favor of such a re-
quest. Congress has twice declared itself to
be in favor of the mile limit, and congress
sional wisdom in this matter is attested by
the conditions that have developed under
the laws operation. Why intending saloon
keepers on the north, east and west, should
be compelled to other lines of Industry while
their competitors to the south should re-
ceive special consideration is fa- from clear.
II Congress really wants to do the right
thing in this matter 4. will decline to
tamper with the acts of its predecessors.

EDITOR LEADER: | see on the head
of my last LEADAR these words: "Your
subscription expires with this num-
ber." I don't want you to put such
words as that on my LEADER again, so
long as it stands as it has stood for the
last two years--independent of rings
and monopolies, and for change in
politics, or rather publication in pol
itics, and standing on the broad plat
form for Prohibition. l have read THE
LEADER for the past two years and was
never better pleased with local paper,
so don't say subscription expires; no,
sir, but simply say, send on another
dollar. That will be polite enough.
Enclosed you will find some money.

The Logic of License Laws, and Christian
Responsibility.

The Logic of License Laws, and Christia.
Responsibility.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
The fact that two men, who are open
ly engaged in the saloon business, were
members of the jury which held an in
quest over George Smythe, of jackson,
deserves more than mere passing no.
tice. 1t reveals the fact that the time
has come in this enlightened age Of
the world, when the murderer may sit
as a juror at the inquest of one he has
helped to murder, render a true YER
dict and then not be punished for the
crime he has committed. Why is this
the case? Because his way of killing
men has been sanctioned, or made legal,
by the laws of our country-laws made
by men elected by church members
and ministers of the Gospel of Christ.
They admit that it is wrong to kill, but
if saloon keepers will pay for their Ii
cense they may kill as many as they
please. Truly those murdered with
whisky will never be avenged until the
great day of reckoning" because the
host of those who are guilty of their
murder. is so great, and including as
it docs, the legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive powers of this nation, no power
except that of God and his angels will
ever be sufficient to prosecute them.
Ever since the first murder was COM
mitted and God inquired of the muir
derer for the murdered and he answer
ed by asking, Am l my brothers
keeper" that same question has been
laundering down the corridors of time,
and eternity echoing the answer, ayes,
yes" And, my Christian friends, you
who give your influence and votes to
a political party that uphOlds the sa-
looms. unless you repent of it you will
wake up in yonder world to find that
the blood of those who have been de-
stroyed by whisky is upon your hands.
Thus sayeth the Lord, and the God
that pleadeth the cause of the people,
Behold have taken out of thine hand
the cup of trembling, even the dregs
of the cup of My fury; thou shalt no
more drink it again; but will put it
into the hand of them that attiict thee;
which have said to thy soul, bow down,
that we may go over; and then hast
laid thy body as the ground and as the
street to them that went over"
Friends, this is Gods word;now make
the application yourselves.

Murder in Lawrence,

A report comes from the Southwest
ern portion of Lawrence county that
a man named Morris was assassinated
there last Friday evening. The muir.
dered man was at his hog pen about
dusk and was fired upon and struck
with % buck shot by two men whom
he failed to recognize. He leaves a
wife and seven children. Our inform
ant says it is believed that Morris was
a member of the White Caps and be,
came the victim of some of the gang
whose displeasure he had aroused, OF
because it was feared he would give
away some of their secrets.

debtor, which was illustrated by bill
of Senasor Cameron's for the payment
of $205. 80 to the heirs of John How

of ''Home, Sweet Home" 1t seems
that when Payne died in 1852 at Tunis,

the sum mentioned upon his salary.
1t has been owed ever since, and nov
after forty-one years there is a pros

After spending many million poundl
sterling in the construction of monster
cannon and enormous war vessels,
England is now told by recipient of
some of the millions that o great mis-
take has been made. Lord Armstrong,
whose firm built the i'll fAted Victoria,
says ''the arguments against building
immense ironclads are unassailable. .
The same conclusion was reached by
the British Admiralty some time ago,
and no more unwieldy warshipsw will be
built for the British navy. 1t is for
tunate, thinks the New York News,
that no such mistake was made in the
construction of our new navy. We
have no war vessels of the larger type,
as compared with the navies of Eng
land, France and Italy. They are Of
about the type that practical expert
ence has discovered to be the best foi

Autumn.


The dying leaves fall fast;
Chestnut, willow, oak and beech
All brown and withered lie.
Now swirling in the cutting blast,
Now sodden under foot-they teac
That one and all must die.
This autumn Of the year
Comes sadly home to my poor heart
Whose youthful hopes are fed,
The darkening days are drear,
Each love once mine see depart
AS withered leaves and dead.
But is 1t all decay2
All present loss-no gain remote2
Monotony Of pain2
Ah,noi Ihear a lay
The robin sings-how sweet the note
pure unearthly strain.
And of all flowers the first
Beneath these leaves in spring shall blow
Sweet violets blue and white,
SO all lost loves shall burst
In springlike beauty, summer glow,
In heaven upon our sight.
