SHOULD TAKE HIS MEDICINE.

The Jail sentence of thirty dJys
imposed upon one Max Heilbronner
a Memphis millionaireliquor deal r
by the Circuit Court of this county,
at its May term, and which was
confirmed by the State Supreme
Court few weeks since, after, a
warmly contested fight between the
best legal talent of the state, should,
in our humble opinion, be allowed
to remain unchanged by his excel
lency, Governor Frazier,
In this opinion we may differ with
a goodly number of good people OF
this section, but know that a ma
iority of the citizens of this city
hold to the same opinion as do we.
The fact that a sum of something
like $500 was willingly donated by
the people here to employ attorneys
to assist the Attorney General and
to defray other expenses connected
with the prosecution, we think,
more than proves this point.
The petition circulated here this
week bore the signatures of some
of our best citizens, but the petition
will come to nought it the Governor
follows the old custom and refuses
to take action on the document UNI
less the petition is signed by the
presiding judge and the prosecuting
attorney. We have it from good
authority that this petition for
clemency does not and will not con-
tain the names Of either of these
gentlemen.
Besides this, we don't believe that
Tennessee ever did have, has now,
or ever will have chief executive
who could read the evidence given
IN this case by Mayor Walker and
other gentlemen who testified that
Hellbronner openly announced his
intention to violate the law and
boastingly declared that he had a
half-million dollars behind him and
would "give the officials and town
authorities a race for their money"
and then say that he was not guilty
as charged and sentenced, or that
the court here stuck him one inch
too deep.
He defed the law; he laughed at
the wishes of our pastors and our
people; he sneered at the advice of
a dozen of Obion county's best law
yers; he played the bully, and now
we think he should swallow the
physic. He should be taught that
the laws Of the land are to be
'obeyed by the rich as we'll as the
poor.
The people applied the law, they
have paid the expense of the prose
cution and they expect this defiant
law-breaker to be punished.
Sock it to i'm, Governor.

Making the Gospel Popular.

Are not some pulpits rather too
nervous lest the Christian religion
is not made sufficiently attract
i've" to Indifferent men, women and
children! 1t is beginning to look
that way. We have had for some
time the anxiety over the men;
just now the worry is for the boys.
We are told in the most nervous
way that the preaching and the
teaching isn't interesting the boys;
that actually they prefer going to
the circus or playing baseball to
attending church, and that, there
fore, we must mend our ways and
solve this ''problem with all
speed, otherwise the church will
"lose its hold" on the youngsters.
Well, when did the church ever
compete successfully with the cir
Gus for boys choice? Was the
preaching one, two or ten genera
tons ago more carefully addressed
to the adolescent mind than it is
to-day? Were Jeremy Taylor,
Jonathan Edward Bellamy and
the rest of those old fashioned
preachers noted for their hold on
children?
We venture to assert that the
pulpit of to. day is far ahead of any
previous epoch in seeking and
reaching children. No doubt there
is still much room for improve
ment. But it seems to us absurd
to claim that church services in
1903 are less attractive to boys, or
to anybody, than they were in
1858 or in 1903. Some people are
to think that the ''prob
Iem'' is right at that point, to.wit:

entertaining quality an act of pub

form.-The Church Economist.

In Sympathy.

Editors Commercial: In las
weeks issue of your paper we reac
the sad intelligence of our beloved
friend, Campbell Garth.
To our family the news was &
source of great grief; especially so
as we had known him intimately
since his tender boyhood. His was
the last hand l clasped in goodby
when l left home in April. Looking
through the window of the ticket
Office he said, Il hope you all will
not stay long, there are so few of
us left" referring, of course, to the
old families.
This brave and tender man in
every storm of life was true. He
was the friend of all heroic souls.
He climbed the heights in every de-
partment OF life to which he was
called, and while resting there on
his brow fell the golden dawntng
of a grander day. He sided with
the weak, and with a pure hand he
faithfully discharged all public
trusts. To the heartbroken father
and mother will say, it's enough to
have reared and given to God such
son. To the loved and lovable
companion he has left an heritage,
a pure life, which will be to her
little ones a glory forever.
Alas! too many of us know what
it means to look for the last time
upon what is mortal of those we
love best. And if this, nv dear
friends, ended all, we could exclaim
with the prophet of old, Woe is
me, !" but thanks be to Him whom
he loved and served, it is only be-
ginning of a new and better life.
Campbell lives. We shall see him
again.

Mayor Walker is right. The Law
should and must be enforced.

The little bootlegger who peddles
his pizen by the drink on the sly
should be prosecuted to the bitter
end, but the millionaire bully who
brazenly defes the law and sells at
wholesale and dares the law to in
terfere, should be pardoned. This

His Last Hope Realized.
[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. ]

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1882 the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy as a last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground iii
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect OF
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
