COUNTY FAIRS.

interest.
An interest in what2 In the fair or

edY If in the pool selling. it is sad
commentary. indeed. And If "all the
people" took like interest in the
fair and the pool selling, it would be
interesting to know how the observant
editor of the Democrat could so easily
ana so quickly distinguish between
church members and non church
members.
Continuing the Democrat says
uSome NAV be inclined to question
the propriety of pool selling or horse
racing. but if they did object they
either left their objections at home OF
mt their consciences aside for the DAY.
We could not but notice the great
difference manifested in interest over
there among those good people, ana
the indiffere zee or lethargy OF the
neople of Columbia and Maury coun-
ty."
That difference, )" we take It,
exists for good reasons; the people OF
Columbia and Maury county, rather
than leave their objections at home,
prefer to stay at home with
them; and rather than put their
consciences aside for a day, prefer to
put the pool seller, ana the pool bet
ting gambler, aside forever.
If, to promote the breeding ana
development of fast horses. we must
put our consciences aside and encour-
age the soul destroying habit OF
gambling, we greatly prefer that
Maury county should have nothing at
all to do with the industry. II, to
raise race horses or other fine stock,
we must raise a race of gamblers, let 6
po ont of the horse business and let 1t
severely alone. And no one, we take
it, will deny. that gambling on the
races is gambling, in the full force
and meaning Of the word. as much
as gambling at cards, or gambling at
craps.

Russell Sage, the cold, calculating,
far seeing old skin-fint that he is,
SAWS that combinations Of all indus
tries are menace to true government
and are the oppressors of the people. .
He even says that if the combinations
continue there will ultimately be a
revolt against them, and that there
will be financial ruin the like of which
this country has never So n-or any
other.' But little Teddy Roosevelt
saws we should be careful how we
allow our jealousy and ENVY to
constrain us to interfere with the
prosperity of others, lest we bring
harder times upon ourselves. When
Roosevelt thought he had Mckinley
to 70 against, then he courted favor
with that wing Of his party which
believed in laws to ''shackle cunning
as we have shackled force. But
now he is the apologists where NC
Kinley was the oracle.

aIP THIS BE TREASON

The Omaha Bee. a republican paper,
says: The Standard OIL trust has
advanced the price Of gasoline cent
a gallon. That would seem very in
significant. The railroads proposed to
advance the wheat rate / cent per
1000 pounds. That also seems a triti-
ing increase. But when these pennies
all drop into the corporation slot they
will mount into millions and mil
hons" That is true and these mil
lions and millions" come out Of the
POCKETS OF the people. And that is
how the rich are becoming richer and
the poor poorer. And it could not be

line and railroad business

Tobacco in any form is injurious to
boys, and the cigarette habit is par
ticularly pernicious. Educators are
giving attention TO this matter and
find by carefully compiled statisti 5
that the use of cigarettes impairs the
boys physical, mental and moral
character. This statement, however.
will do little good with boys who
smoke. The facts to impress on boys
are that athletes do not use tobacco
or alcohol when they are In training,
and that boys are always in training
for their life's WORK.

More than a year ago the Louisville
e. Nashville Railroad Co.. was indlct-
ed for failure to furnish a passenger
station at Columbia according to legal
requirements. The case has never
been tried yet. If it heo been an in
dictment against a. poor and friendless
individual, it would have been tried
long ago. That is the difference be.
tween a poor and friendless individual
and a powerful corporation before the
courts.

PANAMA CANAL.
Title of Company to the Property
Thoroughly Investigated by
ATTORNEY General Knox.

Paris, Sept. 10. Attorney General
Knox informed the correspondent OF
the Association Press today that the
only thing that can now be given out
regarding the proposed Panama pur-
chase is that he has under considera-
ton many questions Of law and fact
bearing, or supposed to bear, on the
title of the property.
"The intelligent diligence of Mr..
Russell" Especial United States AS
sistant Attorney General said Mr..
Knox. "has greatly cleared the
ground. lido not anticipate that many
days will now be required to finish
the work necessary to the preparation
of my report and opinion to the Presi-
dent, which will not be undertaken
until 1 return to Washington. The
questions of the gravest Importance
are those relating to the legal charac-
ter of the old and new canal COM
panies and their relations to the
French Government, il any, and to
each other, the nature of their title
and dominion over their respective
properties and the legal bearing Of the
liquidation of the old company upon
the affairs of the new compa ny.

Since the trusts obtained absolute
and almost undisputed control of the
affairs of this government, eminent
statisticians say that the price OF
coal has advanced nearly 1909, meat
250S, and other provisions about 4o96,
and wages 1917. And that is what
our Republican friends call prosperity
A laborer who a few years ago was
receiving 81 per day is supposed to be
very happy indeed when he contem-
plates his raise Of 30 cents And he
would be, except that he finds from
sad and painful personal experience
that the AZ. 90 he is now receiving lacks
about 80 cents Of going as far
toward the purchase of clothes and
provisions as the ~ did.

Our news columns report the mar
row escape of Mr.. Allison Webster
from a wild bullet fired at a negro
fugitive by police officer Hooten.
Officer Hooten had no more right to
shoot at that negro than the negro
had to shoot at him. 1t is no excuse to
saw that he only meant to scare him.
He had no right to shoot at all. The
law forbids the shooting of fire arms
in the corporation limits. and no
exception is made of officers. And the
very purpose of tile law is to prevent the
accidental killing Of citi zens who have
the right to walk the streets in peace
and safety. If the ball had reached
two inches lower, it would have killed
Mr.. Web ster. Why hazard the life OF
innocent people by shooting at escap-
ing prisoners, who, if guilty at all are
guilty only of petty offensesY 1t is
not only unlawful; it is not only I'M
becoming an officer, but it is inexcus-
ably reckless. 1t Is not the first time
such as this has occurred; and will
not be the last unless the Board takes
some action. But it does seem to us
that the Board should issue general
and special order forbiding such con-
duct upon the part Of their officers
10 as to give to the citizen the pro-
lection he has right to expect.

The Philadelphia Record is an old
time Republican sheet. But the
Record is not fool, and doesn't want
to be taken for one. Or perhaps 1t
was in an unguarded moment; or
maybe an irresponsible subordinate
was at the desk. Anyhow this staid
and staunch old Republican authority
says:
There is not a housewife in the
land who does not know that the cost
of living has increased in the past few
years, and that the increase has been
at a higher ratio than any increase OF
wages. When the republican congress
sional campaign committee affirms
that the cost of living is not greater
than formerly. it evidently refers to
the necessaries of the trust magnates
or millionaires. Perhaps if we con-
slider automobiles, diamonds, Paris
dresses, divorces, hot birds and cold
bottles, and the like, as among the
things which people must have, the
aggregate cost is not greater than
formerly. When, however, the ques-
ton is limited to the needs OF people
of moderate incomes, it is found that
the chances of saving something out
of the wages or salary have been
diminished. This is the conclusion
of the bureau of statistics in Massa-
chusetts which has made a practical
and thorough examination Of the sub
iect. 1t is unfortunate for the repub-
lican committee that the report could
not be suppressed. for it will go far
toward blocking the trust defending
campaign.

few individuals as well, who criti-
cised Mr.. Bryn for making campaign

these same papers and people are now
praising the president for the dignified
course he is pursuing In making politi-
cal speeches In behalf of his party and
his own denomination.

guides secured from the range tribe
While making his exploration he
travelled $50 miles by canoe and afoot,
and his discoveries have had the ei-
feet Of blasting most Of the po2Nar'
but vague ideas regarding the rssion.
He says: Il first conceived the
idea of exploring the Mount st. Elias
range region when travelling by
steamer along the coast. It was then
an unknown region. Previous to the
last trip had made two journeys
from Yakutat bay to Dry bay, but
both times followed the ocean beach
all the way. Last spring | resolved
to penetrate the region. / hired two
guides, James Ned and Theodore NJ
Italio, and procured provisions for
two months. We plunged along the
interior and in the journey to Dry bay
crossed the Ancow, Gee Tuck, An.
clean, Dangerous. ltalio, Ackway and
Twin rivers.
I'VE remained at Dry bay a week
inspecting the lakes and rivers,
watching the salmon migration. and
visiting the spawning grounds. We
then started for the Ackway noun
tains. We went first to the Twin
river glacier in cfossins Ackway
mountain. The weather was dry and
exceedingly hot From the mountain
we viewed the ocean, Mount Fair
weather and Mount ST. Elias. and the
grandeur Of the scenery Of this region
Is unexcelled anywhere. The noun
tains are majestic and beautiful On
June 2s we camped at the western
falls Of the Italio river. and next das
cut a trail across the first mountain
range. We were now in a strange
region. We camped in a beautiful
valley. near an unnamed mountain
