A Judge to a saIOOnkeeper.

A saloonkeeper in Kansas City
was suing for divorce in the Cir
cult Court presided over by Judge
Park. The wife of the saloon
keeper was in the State asylum for
the insane at st. Joseph, taken
there as the result of excessive in
diligence in drink. Judge Park, in
delivering his opinion, said
"The salient facts of this case
are that the husband sued the wife
for divorce because of excessive in
temperance. He married her when
she was mere girl and soon after
their marriage he went into the sa-
loon business and is in it yet. His
testimony was that his wife drank
before he married her and that she
loved alcohol so well she used it in
her coffee. The testimony of the
witnesses for the wife tends to
show that the husband is not en-
titled to divorce. He took this
young and innocent girl from her
fathers home and made her his
wife If she was then addicted to
drink he ought not to have been
surprised at its development later
If she was not addicted TO the ex-
cessive use of drink when he mar
ricd her-and there is strong testi-
mony to show she was not-then
the fact that he is in the saloon
business tends to show that he is
responsible for her fall, and there
IS strong testimony to show that
he is.
"When a man is engaged in the
business of making drunkards, it
doesn't lie in his mouth to complain
IF the effects of that business come
home to him The divorce is re-
fused and the bill dismissed. -

time or the solving of the problem.
But it can readily be seen how
repressive these conditions are to
intellectual liberty and to political
independence.
The Democratic party, as has
been said before, in its origin, foun-
dation and mission, is set to the
interests of the great body of all
the people of America-the greatest
good to the greatest numbes. With
this alignment clearly established,
the Democratic party is now and
always would be the majority
party of this Republic, having in
its body and in its membership nu
merical majorities great enough to
sweep the ballots in every national
campaign and to hold and admin
lister the Government for just so
long time as it remains true to
the real spirit and purpose of its

To be Re-nOminated.

The Republican nominations in
Rowan county are to be done over
as the committee that did the nom
mating was not regular. The COM
mittee will be reorganized accord
ing to the rules and the nomina-
tions heretofore m,de will be GER
tilted by the new committee to the
County Clerk who refuses to accept
the certificates of the old commit
tee. Fifty persons compose the old
committee, when the rules plainly
provides for only one to each vot-
ing precinct, or seven for the coun-
ty of Rowan. No attention was
paid to the call last year, to reor-
ganize. The big committee also
endorsed for postmaster and this
will likely be done over too. There's
fun in Rowan --Grayson Tribune.

stand with and for the depressed
majority.
If this can be accomplished by
keeping these Republican Demo-
Gratis inside the ranks of the party
and subordina ting them and their
ultra-conservative creeds of privi-
lege and protection to the views Of
the real majority it is all right
or it may be all right in the end,
But let us be honest about il,
and let us put honest and genuine
Democrats to the front. Let the
people whose interest is vital in
these matters vote and talk this
year as icy never voted and talk
ed before.
Let the people challenge the
platforms and the candidates that
are presented TO them, FOR pass
words of principle and sound
policy. Let the things in which
the people believe be the things on
which the people will have chance
TO vote.
And if any of our ultra-"con-
servatives of privilege" are dis
satisfied with the platform or the
candidate of the people, let them
go with protest, hindrance to the
party to when they belong.
For every such deserter from the
Democratic rank there will be a
hundred recruits from the camp
which Roosevelt and reading are
setting free.

Sunday School Growth in Nation
the Fruit OF Systematic Mis-
sionary Methods.

The Sunday school movement is
growing to great proportions.
Probably the largest in all the
country is that Of Mr.. Wanamaker,
in Philadelphia. The largest in
the Methodist Church is at Bush
wick avenue, Brooklyn. This is
Nae of fifty-fve that numbers over
<oNO0 members. 1t now enrolls
5,275. OF these, 252 are on the
cradle roll, 533 in the home depart
ment, while the active list is PASS.
The average attendance IS about
500.
Why is it so larger Not be-
cause it is in large city, for there
are scores of larger churches with
smaller schools; but because they
have systematically used mission
airy methods, They have gone in
to the homes and given the people
personal and urgent invitations to
come. The Superintendent, Mr..
F. l.. Brown, a wideawake business
man, has been in the position for
eighteen years. Strictly business
methods are used in the conduct of
its/ affairs. A large committee
have their part of the city divided
among them, and they go from
house to house to visit the people.
They use great deal of printers
i INK ID v the form vi invitations, lei
ters of welcome, report cards of
various kinds, etc. Many of the
young people are brought into the
church, so that not only does it
grow, but by their methods the
school increases at the rate of about
fifty members month.

large influence, controlling in many
instances the columns of news
papers, the voices of public opinion,
and in the strenuous necessity of
their own commercial interest they
have stirred themselves to dominate
and to control the personal forces
which rule and manipulate politi-
cal contentious.
And we resolutely maintain that
these are the men who are drifting
Democracy from its moorings and
are essentially obstructive to the
success of the Democratic party in
coming to lis own.
To this extent let us recognize
our party disadvantage: That
the number and influence of the
minority element of the Democrat
ic party has heretofore controlled
the public expressions and actions
of theDemocratic party, and this,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1905-04-05

In our judgment, against the will
and preference of the people. Also
that these men themselves are held
in the party, not because they be-
lieve in it, but because those of
them who live in the South still
entertain the view that they can
not afford to divide upon political
lines and leave the negro as a pos
sible balance of power.
So, there you have the dilema
and the predicament of the Demo
cratic party in that section OF the
country, whose votes are always
recorded for its platforms and can
didates, and whose support of the
party is absolutely indispensable
to its success.
Now the question is, What is the
remedy for this lamentable condi.
tion of affairs2
So far as the South is concerned

we have had in our political ma
chinery for the past few years an
agency which clearly permits divi-
sion upon political convictions
without injury to the great ques
tion of white supremacy which
holds that section in it's grasp.
The white primary is the last bull
wark of free thought in the South.
1t is the last citadel of political
liberty to the people of that Demo
cratic section of the country.
With this refuge, it is not nee
essary that the South should lie
down any longer in the presence of
the negro and let politics go awry
and principle go hang because OF
this somber and shadowy "balance
of power" which hovers about us
Ii we cannot divide into two par
ties, we can at least fight out our
divergent convictions fearlessly in
the ranks Of our own party, and
submit freely to this tribunal the
arbltrament of the differences which
divide the old Democracy of Thorn
as Jefferson from the new Democ-
racy of August Belmont.
In my judgment, the Democratic
party cannot and will not fulfill its
mission and control the Govern
ment until the majority Democracy
either eliminates or dominates the
minority Democracy. How this
desirable result is to be accom-
plished is the problem set for the
wisdom and courage Of those who

FOUNDERS.
We repeat again unhesitatin2lY
and emphatically that the real
Democratic party has an immense
natural majority in this Republic.
But of late years there has crept
into this party an element always
minority, but of increasing wealth
and power and corporate alignment,
interested through personal mo-
tives in high tariff, in protected
industry in privileged capital; in
exempted incomes and in corporate
greed of accumulation. And these
influences have clearly disturbed
and unsettled the integrity of the
party in its political expressions
and the vitality of the party to its
political traditions.

of high business standing and of

The Sensible View of II.

N"9"huS VI Americans can
readily recall the collection of
herbs, roots and barks which grand
mother brought into use for nearly
every ailment Many a pioneer
home had no other physician than,
these same sensible, brainy, self
reliant women who prided them
selves on their knowledge of the
the treatment of common and even
complicated ailments and whose
gossip was oftenest the exchange of
proven recipes.
Those same self reliant home
doctors are practicing today all
over this broad land. The mothers
OF this and all other countries have

take care of the ordinary simple
ailments incident to every family
with their own favorite remedies.
Herbs, roots and banks are no
longer used in their crude state bv
these mothers, but the recipes
which the pioneer mother found
dependable have been developed
into proprietary remedies and each
home today has its little collection,
of proven medicines, which are
used judiciously and effectively in
nlnety-nine out of hundred cases.
For instance, when child is fever
ish and fretful, has a sour stomach
and constipated bowels, the we'll
Informed mother needs no one to
tell her that to get at the seat of

remedy which will sweeten the
stomach and gently move the bow

dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, a reliable medicine made under
the formula of well known phv-
stefan, from the same herbs which
have been used for ages by the
pioneer mother as we'll as by ply
sicians all over the world, with the
addition of Pepsin, the best of all
modern digestants.
Many a serious illness has been
"nipped in the bud" by the quick
use of some good remedy and the
family remedies are just as neces-
sary in well.regulated households
as food and drink. A remedy
which may be taken by every mem
Der of the family for the common
ills of every day life (such as the
one above mentioned) meets with
ever increasing favor in the Ameri-
can home, in spite of all that may
be said against "patent" medicine
as a class by self-appointed guar
dians Of the public health.
There are no doubt nostrums Of
Tered for sale which are deserving
of the frenzied attacks of the editor
of the Ladies' Home Journal, but
Mr.. Box should be fair enough to
admit that there are good medi-
cines as we'll as worthless medi.
cines, just as there are good doc
tors and pour doctors. There is no
more justice in CHASING all pro-

A Valuable Prescription.

Here is a simple and valuable recipe "a medicinal bath for the nervously worn and those who cannot sleep O nights. It is the prescription of an old physician. Take of sea salt four ounces, spirits of ammonia two ounces, spirits of camphor two ounces, of pure alcohol eight ounces and sufficient hot water to make full quart of the liquid. Dissolve the sea salt in the hot water and let it stand until cool. Pour into the alcahol the spirits of ammonia and camphor Add the salt wate", shake well and bottle for use. With q soft sponge dipped in this mixture wet over the surface of the whole body. Rub vigorously until the skin glows. When nervous or .blue" or wakeful do not omit this bath.

Household Expenses.

Whether it is the home of the multi millionaire or that of the humblest clerk in his employ, the amount of money to be spent on running the house should be carefully thought out and systematized. Many families pre- fer monthly payments, but for persons In moderate circumstances it will be found much more economical and there will be fewer temptations to run into debt if everything is paid by the week. No doubt the best method of all Is cash basis, but this has it's in conveniences. One cannot always find what is required in a shop, and the polite butcher or provision dealer as the case may be, suggests that there Is no haste about the payment; that he will get the article at the lowest pos sible rate for you. This Is a great ac- commodation in these days, when time 1s money to so many. Then often a little more is expended on the article than would have been necessary had the purchaser been present. A small matter of a few cents on pound seems paltry sum to fuss over, but a few cents on several purchases reach the dollar. mark very soon, and when the accounts come ill sometimes the results of such a system are ap- palling. If the credit system is fol- lowed it is very much better to let things alone when the price is an un certain quantity.
 It is difficult to form any idea of what household expenses should aver age each month, as the tastes and habits of individuals vary greatly. An estimate given recently, based on care full calculation, seems very fair one for an ordinary family's expenditure for table expenses. From the sum al lowed for housekeeping one-third goes ito the butcher, to the grocer one-ffth, the same to the dairy; the baker claims one ninth, while to the fish man and greengrocer is allotted one fourteenth of the amount.-Philadel- phia Ledger. tsg
