SPIRITS BRAVED
BY CITY COUNCIL
ANTI-LICENSE MEASURE is
URGED BY LEADER
LEGISLATORS NOT AFRAID
Daylight seance Brings No Fear to
Mortal Representatives. Of Eight
Wards, and Petition Is
referred"

shades-not window shades-but
spooks bumped up against the realistic
yesterday afternoon in the council
chamber. 1t wasn't dark, either. Maybe
that was the reason so many of the
councimen decided to take fall out
of the ghosts.
Harrison d. Barrett, president of the
National Association of Splritualists.
presented petition to the council
signed by 300 citizens of Los Angeles
asking that regularly ordained minis :
ters Of Spirtualism and regular me-
diums be exempt from taxation in re-
gard to licenses.
The high chancellor of the ghostly
kingdom was introduced by Houghton.
the representative of the Sixth ward,
who declared he had known Barrett for
ten years and that he was man of
high standing in his kingdom.
Barrett began to talk about spirits
Councimen began to dodge, for they
thought another anti booze petition was
in sight. A little further along thay
discovered Barrett was a deep believer
in spirits, and then the faces of eight
councilmen were wreathed in smiles,
for it looked for a few moments as #
free spirits was the prayer of the petit
TONER
In GhostIy Silence
Just before they granted the petition
| and adjourned to hunt up some of the
free spirits Barrett made a break and
somebody exclaimed "spooks." A
ghostly silence followed and in little
while the startled Legislators discovered
that the people whom the speaker rep
resented could bring back the departed
so that they could talk to those who
had gone beyond the land of sunshine" !"
and moonshine, added an irreverent
Legislator.
1--WE do not think that our ordained
ministers should be licensed" continued
the representative of the spirits. 1--WE
also think that our ordained mediums

| rs there any question any member
would like to ask? I will be most
happy to answer" concluded Barrett.
Suddenly 'rustling could be heard
through the room, soft, but penetrat-
| ing sound. What was it? A spirit :?
No. 1t was only the clerk folding up
the petition.
When the noise was located the coun-
cilmen looked relieved and declared
they were not afraid of ghosts anyway
and ordered the communication sent to
the finance committee, so that the
licenses on spirits might be doubled.

DR.. W. H. McElroy, Of Houston, Tex
as, and Mr.. J. P. Hull, of Chicago, have
been in the city a week for the pur-
pose of organizing a tribe Of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men. A sufici-
emit number have sgned to insure the
securing of a charter and the tribe
will be instituted in a few days. DR..
McElroy is past Great Chief Of Rec
ords of Texas, and only stopped of for
a short time in Mississippi while on 8
visit to the East to look after the In
terest Of the order in this state. The
Red Men lie one OF tie finest and Oldest
orders Of American origen in the coun-
try, and no man makes a mistake
when be joins it.
The South is moving up. One firm
in Birmingham made a contract for
advertising in the News, for which the
compensation for 1905 is $4,000. The
ame firm has made contracts with
two other Birmingham papers for adj
vertising and is besides placing ads in
papers 100 miles into the interior.
The result is, that firm is reported to
be getting rich. It would not be far
out to suggest that this one firm is
spending almost as much this year for
printers ink as all the business houses
in Mississippi combined. While this
state has some of the most effective
advertising mediums in the South and
yet the business nan who c~onfrOnts a
800 printing bill for a year, Is likely
to drop dead with heart failure.

Missouri Legislature, "it is the province
of the Governor of the State to keep
the public peace by setting disputes
between employers and employees, and
he should make it his business as far as
possible to Go 80 If the contest involves
the public interest in any way" Gov.
Folk is young, and his enthusiasm is a
good thing, but he should be careful
not to let the beneficence. of his desires
obscure the clearness of his vision.
The Governor who announces his pur-
pose of undertaking to settle the dis
putes between employers and EN-

limitless field, merging into an unex-
plored wilderness, never included in
any map of our democratic plan Of

PURE FOOD.
Pure Whiskey and the Effects of
Impure Whisky.

Unless tho rectifiers are too strong,
the present session of Congress lie 60
ing to pass a Pure Food bill and include
whiskey. If they do, and these recti-
fers are forced to put the Cross Bones
and skull on their products, no man
will .be foolish enough to buy it, al
though they do it now, and some with
the knowledge that it is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for this poisonous
stuff No one but the consumer him.
self. There are two reasons for this.
Some want whiskey thattastes pleasant
others want it cheap. To the first,
they should know that 100 per cent of
Alcohol is standard for pure liquor,
and 100 per cent of pure whiskey will
not drink as pleasant as water. The
Indians called it Fire Water. This was
before our forefathers knew anything
about the new way of making imitation
WhAoh01s ~ was ohA pAAb kuOug GuA19~
quentIy, hot, so it is to day when it is
pure. To the second, the tax on every
gallon of 100 per cent Alcohol is Ito,
and this alone is sufficient to make any
whiskey cost more than some want to
pay for it, and if whiskey IS sold cheap
tits sold mean, that is when it is sold be-
low the possible cost Of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent Of
Alchohol may be too strong for most
people,b but they always have the priyil-
eye in buying pure whiskey of adding
water to suit their taste, and not pay-
ing anywhere from $500 to $500 for
water, which is surely plentiful most
anywhere.
