The Hon. L. P. Padgett, congress
man for the 18th congressional district,
addressed the citizens and voters OF
this city at the opera house Wednes-
day night. He had fair audience,
and his address from the Democratic
standpoint was one of the ablest ar
guments we have ever heard. There
was nothing ugly nor abusive in his
speech. His address from start to
finish was an illustration and explana-
ton of--the tariff and trust and he
made it plain to anyone that they
have the American people by the
throat with no intention OF letting
loose. The Republicans, while perhaps
they would not agree with him, yet
they could take no exception to his
address. Our people were very much
impressed with him.-South Pittsburg
Hustler.

Rev. John Royal Harris, Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
delivered an address Sunday night at
the Woodland street Presbyterian
Church, his theme being 1.-The Anti
Saloon Leagues Intention in Tennes-
see. - In the course of his remarks he
said: 1.-THE league has conferred all It's
forces upon one thing; that is the
extension of the four mile law to towns
of s, 900 inhabitants and under, where
the citizens vote to have it. = The
Herald has the satisfaction of knowing
that the Democratic nominee for Sena-
tor from this district, and both the
nominees for Representatives from this
county, will support that bill. If any
of our readers doubt or question our
information upon that subject, ask
the nominees themselves.

When the New York banks get into
trouble: when they loan out more money
than they should, or buy more stocks
and bonds than they should, or specu-
late and gamble and lose more than
they thought; when, for any of these
reasons the New York banks-which is
hut another name for the New York
bankers and brokers and money dealers
get into financial difficulties and dis
cover that they are short Cd ready cash,
the Secretary of the Treasury ut mat
tiers not who he may happen to be, so
he happens to be Republican, comes
to their relief. But when it rains too
much or rains too little, and the farmers
of the country get into financial straits
never bit of help do they get. In
making the laws, in constituting the
laws, in enforcing the laws; in every
way possible the Republicans favor the
corporations and the capitalists, at the
expense of the toiling millions. Not
with money system merely. Not In
subsidies only; but in every way possible
and every time, they favor the pluto
cratic classes against the masses OF the
people.

1.-THE adjustment of the army can
teen is responsible for deplorable
increase of offenses in general and
assertions in particular, according
to the opinion of Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston, who declares that the ousting
of the canteen bv act of Congress has
lowered the discipline of the army,
ruined scores of good soldiers and en-
riched saloon keepers, gamblers and
dissolute women" But the question
ia was Fred duly sober when he was
preparing his official reporty And it it
be true that the army has in its ranks
men Of such dissolute habits and low
character as he describes. then the
sooner they desert the quicker the army
will be rid of bad rubbish.

PLAYING AT POLITICS.

Speaking Of Mr.. Rooseveit's tariff
and trust ant, =. the New York Times
says:
THE lowest persimmOn hangs about
fifteen feet high. President Roosevelt
stands under the tree jabbing and
thrashing away at il with a nine-foot
pole. You see the pole bend and you
near il whiz. But it fans the empty
air. He never touches the persimmon.
OF course not. You can't bring down
a fifteen-foot persi mmon with nine
foot pole. SO long as the President
continues his assault upon the trust
persimmon with the nine-foot pole OF
a constitutional amendment, the owners
of all the persimmons on the tree VIII
continue TO regard his operations with
amused Indifference. But If he should
take up the long and effectual pole OF
tariff revision you would see them all
being to jump up and down anu
boiler. There would be instant ana
dire hubbub among them. for the re
moval of the Dingley duties ON trust
made products would revoke the fran
chise to commit extortion now prac-
ticed by many of the trusts and CON-
binations, and furnish a remedy for
some of the chief abuses from which
they make the people suffer. Then,
indeed, he would become the advocate
of something practical. Then, GER
tainly, we might expect to see within
the Republican party powerful IN
fiuences exerted against his nominal
tions.

The Nashville American does credit
to itself by the following editorial
comment. to every word Of which we
wish to subscribe our hearty endorse
ment:
Two men become involved In a
dispute, having its origin in a political
contest or vital importance to neither.
They meet on the village street. hot
words are uttered one draws the ready
revolver and shoots his unarmed an
tagonist. Result-one lies In his
grave. the other is murderer MS
hands stained with human blood. his
soul stained with crime, with no more
real peace or happiness on this earth
for him. Time cannot efface from his
mind the memory of that bloody
deed. The dead man is perhaps the
more fortunate of the two. But what
of the innocent who must suffer i'm
measurably as a result of the savage
outbreak of mems passions which they
were too weak to control-the families
upon whom the shadow of sorrow Is
cast; the wife and children of the man
who has darKened his own life by
taking the life of another; the wife
who has been widowed, the children.
the babes and innocents. who have
been orphaned and to whom great grief
has come through no fault OF theirsY
1.-THE man who kills another is apt
to shoot beyond his victim and hit the
heart of a mother, wife. a sister,
dependent child or somebody who loved
the slain. even as the slayer loves or is
beloved by those who are dear to him.
What shadow man must bring
upon himself when he Stays husband
and father, the family preao-winner,
and thus bows an innocent woman
in bitter grief and takes from helpless
childhood the natural protector OF
which it ever stands in need. Not
for all the gold in the world nor for all
it's honors could brave minded, true
hearted man consent to do such thing
az this. What unspeakable folly it is
for a man to permit brute anger.
aroused over a difference OF opinion,
to lead him into murder. 1t is more
than folly. 1t is the entrance to hell.
"To the criminal habit or practice OF
pistol carrying may be traced most
murders. The man who makes
practice of going about secretly armed,
falls short of the measure of GOOD
citizen. He is not only ready to defy
the law; he has already violated it. =

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 1~e-Cspecial Teie-

for all It was worth Omaha took the rrst
game from Kansas City today by a score Of
8 to 4. The visitors were outtattsd and
hits we're punched nicely on them in two
innings, but the Meaningless put up such
. wretched game in the field that II was
comparatively easy for the Omahans, who
gave their twiriers brilliant support. The
Rourke band played the fastest game In

Meaningless returned home and were
superb on the bases, stealing FIVE times.
Three OF these men would have been

inson frozen onto the ball when II shot
down to him at second. One Of the fea-
lures Of tho game was the batting Of Glib
son, who twirled for the locals. He ls a
notoriously weak batter, but today he de-
veloped a Lejoie form. and out OF three
times at bat made a single. a double and
q home run over the left-neld fence. His
home run came in the fifth inning. when
there were two men on bases. Up to this
time the locals had been shut out by AL
loway, who retired at the end of the In
ming on account Of a bruised thumb, owen
relieving him. The game ended IN a most
sensational manner. After Messlt and
Kemmer, who batted for Shannon, mad
been retired in the ninth Gibson beat out
q bunt and Ketchem followed with a hit
to center. There we're two outs and two
men on bases, when waldron drove a
double to center. Gibson raced home and
Ketchem, who is noted for his slowness
on bases. was also trying to cross tho
plate before the bali could be thrown in.
Carter relayed the ball in to Stewart, who
whipped the ball home in time to cptch
Ketchem in the act Of sliding, about six
inches from the plate, thus ending the
game, which looked for a moment as
though the score would be tied. Attend
