REVIVAL MEETING.

The Williams-Hicks tent meet
ings continue with unabating in
terest, from 1000 to I, 500 being
about the audiences. The singing
is fine and the preaching and lee
lures are the fruits Of long study
and much travel and research.
Every meeting is really good and
no person can afford to miss a
single one. Especially fine and
instructive was the address Sun
day afternoon to men only. One
point the speaker made was that
the moral and religious people are
responsible for the existence OF
the saloon in Mt. Sterling. Log
ically it follows that these same
people are responsible for the
present conditions here coming
from the saloon-the vulgarity and
profanity from the drunken beast
that staggers on our thoroughtares,
breathing insults to our women
and children; the destitute homes,
the half-starved, ragged and illit-
crate children; drunken fathers,
sons and son-in-laws and some
times mothers and daughters
murder, theft and all manner OF
crime. 1t should be the business
OF the church and moral people to
destroy the saloon and to save
their keepers. The ADVOCATE
stands pledged for higher social
and moral standard and to this enc
the saloon must become known
only as an account Of the black
period, when men sold intoxicants,
young and old men drank them
and were allowed to associate with
the pure boys and girls and thus
to influence them for bad. Count
the ADVOCATE for the fight against
the saloon and call time at any
moment, the sooner the better. On
next Sunday a more important
meeting will be held for men only
end every man should be there.
The information received into hon
est hearts will prove Of great good.
There are some men fighting
against this crusade against sin,
and some are offering inducements
to get members Of their families
away from its influence. Woe
will come to such creatures.

CAN'T BE FOOLED ALL

years more leeway-two years
more license to loot the peoples
pockets-two years at 81 900, 900, :
600 a year. And what then7
Publicity. That's all. and more
than all, for it is entirely optional
with the President whether any Of
the facts gathered by this bureau
are ever published or not. But
the facts, when published. are to
serve only as basis for 'conserva-
tive" antitrust Legislation some
time in the dim and distant future.
President Roosevelt fighting the
trusts? Rot. He is their best
friend. He. as no other living
man, knows how to tickle them
and at the same time make the
multitude, who sees his fierce face
and vigorous gestures. believe
that he is mauling the immortal
ichor out of them. The trusts
have great need Of just such a
man at this juncture to save them
from the wrath Of an outraged
people. 1t is part OF their game
that Wall street and the trusts are
to be against Roosevelt this year.
Next year, when the campaign is
on, it will be found that the G. O.
P. is getting financial support from
its old-time friends-the trusts.
How long, how long, will the peo-
pie be fooled.

TEN-CENT. GAMBLERS.

1t is said there are places in Mt.
Sterling where men of hard luck
are persuaded to go up against
some chance game. Gambling OF
the lowest kind and Of the same
grade as crap shooting. OF course
these unfortunates who may have
barely enough with which to pro-
vide the next meal are the losers
and the families are the sufferers.
Is this any better than robbing ?

REPUBLICAN PARTY PETS

AS corroborative evidence that
the leaders Of the Republican par
ty are standing in with the trusts
and they each understand the
game that is being played for the
edihcation of the gullible public,
the administration organ in Wash
ing, the Evening Star, not long ago
had an article attacking Governor
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, for his
speeches before different Chautau-
qua assemblies, in which he fierce
ly assailed the trusts of the coun-
try. This article said in effect
that Governor LaFollette was to
be disciplined for his heresy; that
he was jumping on the Republi-
can party and one of its pets in
his attacks on the trusts, and that
the leaders Of the Republican party
were becoming alarmed lest the
trusts should get the idea that
they really were alter them and
withdraw their financial support,
What stronger evidence that the
Republican party is the party of,
for and by the trusts, do the Peo-
pie want?

BRUTAL.

Miss Decrist was sent to the
Georgia prison under conviction
for stealing jewelry in Savannah.
She was filling the place Of stew
ardess, and because she complain
ed on account of having been re-
placed by negress, she angered
a warden's wife and the warden
had the prisoner brought before
him, barred 70 The waist ami neld
while he administered the leather
strap, plying it with such force
forty times that each one brought
the blood. She was then sent to
the field to work, tainted from loss
OF blood and great pain and went
into an unconscious state. Gov
ernor Terrill has ordered an inves-
tigation. 1t matters not what the
offense was, such punishment was
unnecessary. And if there is any
law for it such brutal punishment
as was applied to the woman
should be introduced to the inhu-
man warden to a degree that
would serve a lesson. Then he
should be removed, for such a
brute is without claim for any kind
OF preferment.

The soldiers of the Covingtor

The soldiers Of the Covington
Company who. while returning
from Jackson, got drunk in Lex
ington, took the town and engag-
ed in a general fight, should be
punished to the full extent OF the
law. Military discipline should
straighten these chaps. The
probability is that beyond being
arrested the matter will be
dropped.

A PREACHERS COURAGE.

Some time ago leading feature
OF nigh standing socially and COM
mercially died. He was a great
sinner but a favorite with men and
of great powers. We would think
him a lost man. He was a friend
Of Rev. Halcomb, but the man o!
God did the proper thing. He
reviewed his life There was in it
no evidencessof repentance toward
God or faith in Christ for saliva
ton. His was lost soul subject
to the horrors of an endless hell,
and insteadssof delivering an eulogy
of honeyed words the preacher
spoke plainly, lovingly, sympa-
thetically, drawing a lesson for the
betterment Of men. May the
Lord call many preachers into ser
vice who would honor God rather
tina fear men and serve satan.

TOOK RISK IN COUGHING.
Barber Used to Shaving Colorado Con-
sumptives Always Gave
Warning.

The man in the chair coughed suddenly
and unexpectedly, states the Philadelphia
Record. Don't do that again., exclaimed
the barber, with an unwarranted display of
irritation. The man in the chair resented
in somewhat lurid language this restriction
of his personal liberty and intimated that
he would cough whenever he felt like it.
"All right, then, cough your head off, but
don't blame me if l cut you, returned the
barber. There was no more coughing, how
ever, and the man in the chair made MS
escape without any injurr, But, as he paid
his check at the desk, he remarked to the
boss barber:
Say, you want to give some nerve tonic
to the fellow who just shaved me-"
oh. don't mind him, replied the boss.
ing consumptives.. He was telling me the
other day that he s been in the business for
over 20 years and has shaved everything
from a l6-year-old boy to an octogenarian
drunkard, but his nerve went back on him
when he drifted into Colorado Springs and
started to shave the consumptives who hang
out there. Ever since then a man with a
cough gives him cold chills. Out there, he
tells me, not day goes by that some Hunger
doesn't get a cash in his throat while being
shaved"

RECEIVES LARGE SALARY.
Nine-Year-OId Youth Earns 5000 Per
Week for Starring In
Melodrama.

Lores Grim, now taking a leading
part in the melodrama, "The Evil Men
Do" in New York, is the highest paid
child actor in the country, drawing a

dren's theater.
This little chap, now nine years old
is the son of prominent organ manu-
facturer of Cincinnati, and has been on
the stage since he was four.
In the last three years he has ap-
peared in all of Charles Frohman's pro-
auctions requiring the services of a
small boy. In the few years Of his stage
career he has saved enough money to
purchase a piece of real estate that
brings him a fixed income OF $50 a
month.
This Master Lores is permitted to
spend on clothes, for 1t has always been
his ambition to be the best dressed boy
on Broadway. For two seasons this lit
tie Beau Brummel has actually set the
fashion for boys clothing
At the Children's theater he was paid
$50 performance, which is a far great
er amount than is usually paid to grown
stars on Broadway. He also has an en-
vfable reputation of playing string in
struments by ear.
