The Wall Lake Blade would make
it penal offense punishable by severe
penalties, for any person to buy
liquor and give tito adrunkard when
the latter is denied permission to buy
it for himself. Such law, the Blade
says, "would be blessing to many
men who are on the road to hell, and
would stop their friends from aiding
them to arrive at their destination
quicker than the regular time given

for every extra inch the money going

SETFrT GOOD MEN.

"It is always safe to put up the
best men for office" says the Gen.
terville citizen. "They may not be
elected, it is true, but in the end the
right will triumph and good men will
finally be placed in responsible posi-
tions. Let the Jeffersonian test be
applied First, is he honest? Second,
is he capable?-and if the answer to
both inquiries is in the affirmative,
put him on the ticket and leave the
responsibility of his election or defeat
with the voters Too much defer
ence has often been given to the
question of supposed availability in
making nomin ations, and men of
negative popularity have been NOM
mat. d-men who never did anything
and for that reason nothing could be
found in their record to criticise.
The result has sometimes been the
putting in Office of men of inexper-
ience who have made mistakes or
failed to act promptly and for the
beet interests of their constituents.
Too often is the man who has a poll
tical pull nominated and the tax pay
ers suffer. A city election Is soon to
occur and no doubt two or more
tickets will be nominated. Whether
the lines of politics are drawn or not,
the rule of putting the best men on
the ticket should apply. Let good
men be on all tickets and we cannot
fail to have good officials"

Knoxville Express: One of the
saddest things about the Sampson
Schley investigation is the poem on
the subject printed in last weeks
Indianola Advocate-Tribune. Two
stanzas will show the iniquity of the
"poem" better than any description,
and will let Kipling know that he is
to have no walkaway hereafter:
The people were looking
All looking for the news,
They wanted to hear of something
To drive away the blues.
And the news it came knocking at the
the threshold Of cur hearts
How Schley and our navy just busted,
battered, sunk.
The pride of Spain's great navy
Lay a wreck on Santiago's shore.
