instruction in care of the teeth
ought, says the School Jcuanal,
to be made part Of the elementary
school course in physiology and
hygiene. So much depends upon
cleanliness and health of the
mouth and the teeth that the rea-
sonableness of this proposition
will be at once recognized. The
decay of the temporary teeth may
work lasting injury. Digestion
is frequently impaired by imper-
feet mastication, due to defective
molars. The presence of food left
between the teeth is often the
source of serious stomach troubles.
Nervous difficulties of various
kinds can be traced to neglect of
the teeth, and the inference that
development Of serious lung dis.
ease has resulted from a neglected
mouth is by 10 means farfetched

JUST SUPPOSE

All the meat and lard consumed

hay, oats and flour, was raised at

burn?
That all the money that has
been paid out for mules to make
cotton since the war had been
raised in Georgia, the people
would have money to throw at
jay birds.
That if all or the greater por-
tion Of the cotton made in the
South had been manufactured in
to the thousand and one things
needed by the people, not only OF
this country but foreign countries,
we would be the richest people on
earth.
Suppose the thousands and tens
of thousands of negroes and white
people in Georgia and elsewhere
IN the South were at work instead
of loafing around eating and do
ing nothing, wouldn't the country
fairly roll in wealth!
We could suppose column ar

wonder that as people we have
any wealth at all?

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
LET 1T ALONE.


Some of the newspapers are,
since the recent election, insist
ing that local option shall be
plank in the Democratic platform
of the state, alleging that as the
only outspoken candidate for
governor favoring state prohibi-
tion was defeated, the people are
to be considered as having reject
ed state prohibition. in favor of
local option.
1t is to be hoped that the state
convention will not adopt this
proposition. The result of the
late election, SO far as prohibit
ton is concerned, afforded no in
dication whatever as to the will
of the people upon the subject.
All three of the candidates had
number of principles in their
declarations which each appeared
to consider as Of equal Importance.
1t is impossible look into the
minds of each individual voter
and determine which of the planks
(lf any at all) of Mr.. Terrell's
platform induced him to cast his
ballot for that candidate. In
point of fact Mr.. Terrell pledged
himself to approve, if he should be
elected, a state prohibition bill
in the event that it should be
presented to him. 1t cannot be
said therefore that in electing Mr..
Terrell the people repudiated state
prohibition. To have had the
latter result there must have been
in every county In the state, a
contest between declared local
option and state prohibition can
didates for the legislature, and
the majority Of the counties must
have elected the candidates of the
former class. This was not done.
1t is a moral certainty that the
majority of the white people of
Georgia favor state prohibition.
Else why is it that the "dry"
counties of this state, which are
perhaps four-ffths of the whole,
are constantly inveighing against
the whiskey counties for sending
spirits into the dry counties and
thus hampering the operation of
the local option laws of the dry
counties? Why is 1t such diff
cult matter to take a county from
the prohibition columns and place
it in the whiskey column? Dur
ing the last session of the legisla-
ture that body established dis
pensaries in a great number of
dry counties without submitting
the question to the qualified
voters of those counties. Did not
the whiskey representatives from
those counties know that to sub
NIT the question to the people
meant the defeat of the PROPOSE
ton? OF course then the people
of Georgia are so we'll satisfied
with the restriction of the liquor
traffic: do they not desire the re-
striction to be in a complete form
so that their own local option
laws may not be rendered inopera-
tive to great extent, by the
whiskey counties?
If the local option plank is
is adopted by the state convention
and anti-whiskey men are to be
silenced by the declaration of a
fragmentary minority that it is
un-Democratic to advocate state
prohibition, there will arise a
split in the Democratic party,
and there will probably be two
Democratic tickets in the field
two years hence, with the negro
as the balance of power.
If the approaching state con-
vention is wise it will ignore en-
tirely the prohibition question.

In his sermon to the graduating
class President Taylor of Vassar
College, talked very frankly. He
told the girls that society was do
ing an indefinite amount of harm
by its tendency to pleasure and
its extravaganza. 1t puts ideas
into the minds of young people
that turn them away from matri-
mony. The young men hesitate
to marry because they are afraid
they couldn't earn enough to
satisfy the wants of themselves
and their wives. They feel they
must do as the social circle in
which they move does, and there
have been such prosperous times
for a number of years, and there
IS SO much wealth, that there is
great recklessnegs in the spending
OF money. Of course the vast
majority are not wealthy, but the
percentage that is, is so large as
to have a decided influence on
society generally.

MGINNIs CAsHED.
Made a Killing on Tribes Hill, a One
Hundred Dollar Colt.

New York, Nov. 6.-When Tribes Hill
won the first race at Aqueduct Jack
McGinnis, the well known betting COM
missioner, was happy The colt. a g.
year-old son of Clifford-Garoag. was
once the property of S. Sanford & Sons.
but during the recent Morris Park
meeting ne was put up at auction IN
spite of William Easton's earnest re-
quest for bids, nobody seemed to want
Tribes Hill, so he was led out of the
ring. Somebody offered $25 for him, but
it was refused. Then McGinnis put in
$50 offer. but that was turned down.
TN give 800 for him rather than see
him go back to tie farm at Amster-
DAM said McGinnis, and Tribes Hill
became his property. When McGinnis
decided to Start the colt he also con-
cluded to bet on him A commissioner
named Harrison was sent into the ring
with 1926 instructed to bet $75 straight
and $3.50 to show He had no trouble
in getting the money down, securing so
to / straight and u to 1 third or 81. 500
to $75 and $4,000 to $3.50. Scott, the sta
bic boy, had the mount, and he rode
fine race Tribes Hill won by a head,
and McGinnis Docketed $1,000, in addi-
ton to $780, which was his share of the
purse, and all with 2 one hundred-dol-
lar colt. In the days of Gutenberg
McGinnis was struggling along in a
precarious way, but in recent years he
has amassed quite a snug fortune. He
won a barrel of money at Brighton

latter came home with 40 to l against

Court Docket for Trial.
One Hundred and Four Cases to
Be Disposed Of.

Oswego, Kan, Nov. 6.-The November
term of the district court will open 1or
business at Oswego this morning Inc
docket is large one containing 104 cases.
Six of these cases are demurrer cases, a
are court cases. "a are civil jury cases and
there are II criminal cases.
Among the cases to be heard at this
term of court are 20 divorce cases. num-
Der of cases that are on the docket for this
term are of more than usual interest The
case of Harry Troegle who is suing the
city of Parsons for several thousand dol
lars damages on account of injuries re
ceived in runaway. will probably be tried
at this term of court.
This runaway occurred on Crawford ave-
nue. at night and was caused by another
team on the street running into the horse
and buggy driven by Troegle. The claim
for damages in this suit is based on the
fact that the streets where the collision
occurred were not properly Hgnted anu
therefore the city is liable for the dam
ages caused by the collision.
Two cases of the board of county COM
missioners against John Mayer are also on
the docket. These cases are for total
of over $4,000. which amount is claimed
from Mayer for fees collected during the
two terms that Mayer was clerk OF the

A1baugh seems to be particularly fortu-
nate in his estimates. The reason prob
ably is that he is thorough organizer
and pays personal attention to all the de-
tails of the campaign. He knows the
local situation in nearly every precinct
in the state. AS a result he has never
been fooled the wrong way on his cstf-
mates since he has been at the head of
the Republican state committee.
When Albaugh was first elected state
chairman just prior to the campaign of
1898 the fusionists had every office in the
state house, all but one member of the
supreme court, a big majority in both
branches of the legislature, and every
mem bers of congress except Broderick and
Curtis. In the first campaign which he
conducted the Republicans gained the
state officers, the lower house of the legis-
1ature, all the congressman but one and
a majority of the supreme court. The
next time they added the state senate to
the list. Now, in the third campaign
which AIbaugh has conducted they have
swept the whole state. They have every
state officer, including all seven members
of the supreme court, a solid congression-
al delegation, brutal majority in both
branches of the legislature, and probably

OLD SOLDIERS VOTES.
Democrats Will Contest Counting of
Leavenworth Home Vote.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 6.-Chairman
f. E. Murphy, of the Dem ocratic county
central committee, said that he had not
yet decided what steps would be taken by
the Democrats to prevent the counting of
the Soldiers home vote. At a meeting of
the Democratic candidates whose election
depends the throwing out of this vote
conference will be held today to decide
whether or not to take steps at once to
contest the legality of the vote. 1t is prob
able that these candidates will ask Judge
Fitzpatrick to enjoin the county commits
sioners from counting this vote when they
meet Friday to canvass the vote of the
county.
Without the Soldiers home vote nearly
all of the Republican nominees are defeat
ed, but they believe that the courts will
decide that the vote is legal and thus save
them. 1t will probably require several
months for the courts to settle the Ques-
ton. and there will be some quarreling as
to who should occupy the various offices
in the meantime. Opinion as to the lega1i-
ty of the vote is about evenly divided in
Leavenworth. A majority of the local
lawyers contend that the old soldiers are
not eligible voters unless they are living
in regular homes, but a majority of the
members of the home claim that as their
permanent home.

STAYING OUT OF SCHOOL.
Parents Not Looking After Their
Children at Atchison.

Atchison. Kas.. Nov. 6.--The Globe
says: People are not sending their chill
dren to school as they should. The re-
port of the superintendent of the schools
for the month of October shows an en-
rollment of 1874, as against 1854 for
the corresponding month last year.
This falling off is surprising in view
of the fact that there are no vacant
houses in Atchison. and as there are
certainly more people here than there
were a year ago The decrease is ac-
counted for by school authorities in four
ways: the decrease in the enrolment
in the colored schools. the fact THAI
an unusual amount of work in every line
this fall interferes with the schools, the
increased attendance of private schools,
and an unusual amount of sickness,
which has been prevalent. There is
seating capacity for 1884 in the rooms
now open. and this could be increased
1874 by opening additional rooms. While
many children are out of school for
good reasons, many are running on the
streets who should be in school. 1t is
a fact that no effort has been made
for years to get children into school.
This partially accounts for Atchison's
small enrolment. but the number may
compare favorably with that of other
towns of Atchison's population when the
enrolment of the parochial and private
schools, of which we have IAN unusual
number, is added

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. with the big
Nebraska game only three days distant
K. us chances are anything but bright
The team can not hope to get into as good
condition as it was in before the north
ern trip. Peters is out of the game be-
yond all doubt, and will probably not be
able even to go to Lincoln The gap at
center is still causing trouble and the Of
Tense is not likely to be strong Every
thing seems to be against the Jayhawkers
but their grit is still there in large guam
titles. After the crushing defeat admin
istered the Indians last Saturday by the
Nebraska even were Kansas in good form.
The Indians are faster individually and
have a stronger attack than Kansas, yet
the Cornhuskers held the aborigfnes to
total of only about so yards gain in the
entire game. OF course. it was not Has
kells best team that went down TO defeat
Saturday and it is probable that Kansas
could win from the lineup that faced the
Nebraskans. Kansas plays fully as strong
a defensive game as Haskell.
