The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1903-10-21

While at Fordsville on October II,
we had a pleasant conversation With
Edwin Forbes, of that town. Col.
Forbes has been q subscriber to the
News ever since it has been a paper,
has always paid his subscription
promptly and he is now one year In
advance with his payments He says
that the Breckenridge News is unlike
any paper he ever saw In many re-
spects That the paper is full of the
most pleasing and interesting litera-
ture that can be selected from all
sources and is pleasing alike for ali
ages of our reading population, and
that It's advertisements are so display
ed in it's columns that they are more
attractive and interesting than they
are annoying to its readers. That
he takes FIVE papers and that the
Breckenridge News contains more in
teresting and pleasant reading TO him
than ali the rest combined and that
it Is so sifted Of all rude or gay say
ings that it IS more like a religious
paper than a weekly issue of current
events. And now that its subscrip-
ton price is only fifty cents a year
he thinks that the News should be laid
on the table every week in the homes
Of all bona fide nousekeepers throughout
our land and that ministers and public
teachers should encourage the circula-
t,on of snch papers and condemn all
literature that is poisonous to the
youthful mind and offensive to old
age He says he is going to make an
effort to have the Breckenridge News
in the homes of all the farmers in
East Fordsville precinct, which, nc
doubt, will swell the poultry business
at Fordsvllle. The check for this farm
product is to be sent to the Breckep-
ridge News and placed to the credit
of the East Fordsville subscription
| list.

EDITOR SOM.HERS ,4R-
TICLE HIS TRUE RING

An article headed "Col. Welssln-
gers Mistake, that appeared in last
weeks Issue OF the Elizabethtown
News, has the true ring and should be
echoed all along the line until heard
from one end of Kentucky to the 9TH
er. We remember Col. Weissinger, in
his speech at Bowling Green, in be-
nalf of the Democratic party, give as
his reasons WHY voters should not
support Col Belknap for Governor
that the Republican candidate had
never taken a chew of Kentuc ky's
chief product and had never taken
drink Of whisky, another of our lead
ing products. The Elizabet htOwn
News is, as we we'll know, a strong
advocate of Gov. Beckham and the
Democratic party. Here is N substance
what it had to say of Col. Weissin-
gers opinion
"Col. Belknap's abstinence in both
particulars is to his credit and not to
his discredit and Col. Weissi niger is
the first man who ever proclaimed
from the stump that chewing tobacco
and drinking whisky were accomplish
ments of gentlemen. Such habits,
the News says, are deplored by Chris
tlan gentlemen and are never com
mended. The men who indulge in
these small vices have never urged
them as grounds for political sup
port The editor, to be more en-
phatic, adds ave want to emphasize
our condemnation of the foolishness
of Col. Welssinger, as. in his yea! for
our candidate, Gov. Beckham, he has
stepped hard upon the toes Of all NOR
al people of the State, who have no
patience with an advocacy of whisky
drinking or the filthy habit OF chew
ing tobacco. Score big victory
for our neighbor paper Rah, for any
editor who stands for clean life and
good habits and now let Col. Weiss
niger take the advice of this sensible
editor and "go way back and sit down
and keep his mouth shut. " |. for
one, would appeal to all young men
of high ideals and generous impulses
the young men who may some day
aspire TO political honors, to steer as
clear as posi- BILE of Col Weissinger' s
ideas of accomplish ments' The
work for every young man to do in
Kentucky is to vote for man of
clean habits and pure ideals. No
matter whether the vote be cast for
town, county. state or national can
didates. If Isaac Shelby, who is con-
ceded to have been our greatest Gov
ernor, could come back TO earth and
offer for Office and advocate drinking
whisky, every young man in the
State should vote against him at the
polls. No man, put by the voice Of
the people to rule over them, should
advocate or even tolerate intoxicating
beverages. If voter is against whis-
KY and saloons let him vote for the
man who opposes them. Whenever we
put man above party predictions
then, and not until then, Will we have
clean government. like that Good
Government League, picking its
candidates from the best church ele-
ment. l wish we had one everywhere
and then the whisky ticket would
be showed under. Mrs. H. B. Grinnell,
BrandenbuIg.

There Is no nicer young man in
this county than Sherman Ball. He is a
self-made young man. What ne is he
owes TO his own efforts. He was a mere
strapling, p green country boy when
he first went to Hardinsburg and
offered his services to the public. He
had his rebuifs and lack sets like all
other striving, ambitious boys. He
never faltered although reverses came.
He newed to the line-kept right
along doing his duty and making
friends and was rewarded by his party
and elected TO the Office which he
now holds. He has made good clerk.
His work speaks for itself. He has
been faithful to his duties, attended
TO the business of his Office and treated
everybody well and courteously. He
Is a Republican but not a mean parti-
san. Any man, be he Republican OF
Den ocrat, can vote for him. He's
not narrow and biggoted but broad
and liberal So remember him when
yOu cast your vote November 3.

THE .NEW'ER SURGERF
IND .HEDICI.NE.

When that genial philosopher, Mr..
Doolev, had occasion to discuss the i'm
portant them of sickne ss, he conclud-
ed that il made little difference
whether you called in a Christian
Scientist or the doctor-provided you
had a good nurse
Not quite so radical, but tending
much that way are the conclusions Of
DR.. Beverly Robinson in the Medical
Record He shows that we have had
too much surgery, and too much medi-
cine. Quoting DR.. r. H. Fitz, of Bos-
ton, who carefully analysed numerous
surgical operations, during a period
Of ten years, he says that many OF
them could not be justified if either
the immediate or remote results were
fairly con sidered In speaking Of
haste in operating for appendici tbs
Doctor Robinson invokes the authority
of Doctor Treves, who, it will be re-
membered, had charge of King Ed
ward $ case last year He says DIR.
Treves lays stress upon the fact that
the great majority of cases of appendi-
citis recover spontaneously without
either an operation or the formation
of an abcess; that the ultra-acute
cases are actually rare.
Doctor Robinson conclusion as to
surgery is: Examples might be
given which would 90 to prove that
what TO some seems advancement in
surgery of our day is in reality only
proof of too great hardness or of igno-
rance of the great purposes Of this
noble art. Why, then, allow il to 90
into most hazardous ways, and especi-
ally where the chances are very great
against any real or lasting success be-
ing returnedl We are prepared to
grant the immense triumphs of modern
surgery, thanks TO asepticism and per-
feet drainage. We only become scepti-
cal and inclined TO criticise and up
braid when, through the very impuni
ty which skill and opportunity afford,
1t shows a subservience to these fac
tors, when, with wider knowledge
and appreciation of general laws which
govern disease, surge ms would aDan-
don operations which are useless or
dangerous, or, perhaps, while involv-
ing only slight risk, may be followed
sooner or later by consequences more
lamentable than the original disturb
ance of organ or Of health from VIII ich
the patient primarily suffered. "
So far medicine is concerned the
writer approves Of the employment OF
hygienic methods and very simple
remedies rather than an iHdiscrimi-
nate use of strong drugs, which are
nearly always harmful. He in part
says:
Medicine has her great and noble
achievements also; likewise she has
manv dra wbacks The vast armament
tarium of new drugs foisted upon us
at every turn seems 10 be great i'll.
Among them only limited few are
really useful and relatively innocuous.
The powerful ones. and especially
those so used among the coal-tar de-
rivatives, do great harm unless used
with rare good Judgment and in
small or moderate doses at all times "
