The following is clipping taken
from the Delmar, Iowa, Journal rel
ative to the death of Patrick Nc
Meel, father of B. S. McMeel of
this city.
On "Wednesday August 8th occur
red the death of one of Delmar's
esteemed and respected citizens
Patrick McMeel. This good man
had been failing and in poor health
for the past year, surrounded by
loving relatives and friends, most
tenderly cared for by loving
daughter and devoted sons, all
doing everything in their power to
make life happy and prolong his
days, yielding to the inevitable hand
of death, giving up his noble soul
into the hands of his maker.
Patric McMeel was born in
County Manhan, Ireland, on March
18th 1890. His youthful days were
spent in in his "Dear Old Ireland"
where he drank in the faith of St.
Patric which bloomed and blossomed
in the Irish youth, and rlpened into
sturdy Christian and true Catholic
manhood. At the age of FL we see
him leaving the land of his birth
and coming out here to America,
the land of his adoption in 1851.

"Who's Lumkin?" asks t he New
York Sun, which goes on to say: "A
man of that name is, or thinks he is
a candidate for the post TILED since
1895 by the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Till
man. Lumkin is a colonel but that
tells US nothing. Lumkin's uncle
was g Chief Justice. That throws
no light on Nephew Lumkin. Lum-
kin's brother is or was a judge of the
State Supreme Court. How Goes that
help US to get a nearer view of Brother
Lumkin? The grandfather of Lumkin
was Governor of Georgia. How much
closer do we get to the business and
bosom Of Grandson Lumkin thereby?
Is Lumkin running ona grandfather's
clause? Does he march with all the
images of his illustrious relatives
against Captain Ben, the dol of the
Palmetto citizens who don care TO
live on the imputed merit OF their an
cestors and have thrust from power
the fine and frilled patrcians that
useG TO -wn and boss South Carolina?

and why is Lumkin?

What o Waste OF Money.

The annual military expenditures OF
the several great powers of the world
are enormous. A recent issue of the
British Bluebook says the United
Kingdom spends for this purpose each
year s157, 100000; India, 100000, 600;
France, 1927, ,OOC, 900: GermanySlb1 ,00O,-
600; Austria Hungary $4,000, 600;
Italy s5S.0oO,OOO; Japan $4,000, geo;
Russia l94,0O0,000; United States,
These amounts do not
include the amount paid in pensions
by any of the governments named: The
United States, in addition to the Sll5!
O,0OO named above, pays each year.
$40, 100000 in pensions to her old
soldier. Including what she spends
for pensions, the United States spends
more than any other government, for
military purposes. Our military bur-
den is the heaviest born by any nation
in the world. When we contemplate
the vast sum which the so-called
Christian nations Of the earth spend
in.Itraining soldiers, building ships,
guns and other engines to DESTROY men
we are almost forced to the conclu-
sion that our profession of being fol-
lowers of the meek and low]y man
who had not where to lay his head
while on earth is false. If we were
His followers in fact we would have
no use for these things and the money
spent; for them could be used for
other and nobler purposes. This vast
sum Of money properly used would
Danish poverty from the ealth and
would bring joy and happiness to the
world instead of death and destruction
as it now does.

AS every body knows Kansas is
one of the three so-called prohibition
States. but it will be seen from what
a Kansas paper says below there Is no
trouble to get whiskey out there. A
man by the name of G. S. Jewel, of
New Castle, Pa, wrote to the Appeal
to Reason, weekly paper of large cir
culation published at Girad, Kansas,
the followiug!letter: s;....->"
"Prohibitionists here say that out in
Kansas they have no use for jails since
prohibition has been adopted. Is that
so?
The Appeal to Reason replied Is
follows:
This will be news to Kansans. II
prohibition rules In Kansas it has not
been discovered. In this little town
we have five open saloons and there
are some fifty or sixty saloons in the
county. Our jails are just as full as
in Pennsylvania. Just asfong as profit
can be made selling liquor it will be
sol1-according to law or in violation
of law. In Kansas prohibition does not
prohibit. Our saloons are really a
greater menace than licensed saloous
When it is known that about three
thousand people in Kansas hold Unit
ed States Internal Revenue licences
to retail whiskey and other liquors
the statement of the Kansas paper
can easily be believed.

Bonorabie Exceptions.

Some time ago the Columbia Record
stated that all the members OF the
dispensary investigating committee
except Mr.. Blease had taken pay both
as committeeman and as legislators
for days during the recent session Of
the general assembly when meetings
were held bo,h by that body and the
committee. The Record attempted to
verify that report before publishing
it. but was met by refusal of the
chairman of the committee to answer
proper and legitimate questions as to
records of which he was the custodian.
The Record realized that because
of the way in which the matter was
first published, other members of the
committee who as we'll as MI. Blease.
had not taken double pay, naturally
felt a hesitancy about defending them
selves, as to do so would seem to cast
imputation upon the motives of those
members who had seen fit to take
double pay. So The Record put the
question squarelyIto each member OF
the committee, as to whether he did
or did not take double pay.
Mr.. CASTOR has replied fatty that he
did not. So, adding Mr.. Blease there
are two members who did not take
double pay. While Mr.. Fraser de-
clined to answer the question, for rea.-
sons which he gave. his home paper
publicly and some of his friends pri-
vately to the Records reporter have
entered a denial for him, which must
be taken as true. The Record openly
and publicly apologies to Messrs. Gas
ton and Frazer and requests those
papers which copied it's article as TO
double payt to give circulation to the
denial that they took double pay.
>As to the Others, Senator Hay de-
clined to answer the question present.
ed to him in writing and in person.
Mr.. Lyon returned without answer or
comment the letter oil The Record re-
questing a statement from him.
Messrs Christensen and Spivey have
net replied to the letters addressed
to them on that subject. The public
will draw its own conclusiors as to
these gentlemen.

Both of these growing ard progress

while both of them have suffered Sc
verely, we congratulate them that it

built even better and more substan-

The Brownsville correspondent OF
the Pee Dee Advocate, which IS an
out and out opponent Of the .dispensa-
ry and all other forms of whiskey
selling and which is published at
Bennettsville, in the county Of Marl-
boro which has been prohibition
county for over thirty years says:
This thing of getting drunk and
reeling and rocking from one side OF
the road to the other and hollering to
the annoyance Of the Sunday travel is
becoming somewhat Of nuisance.
And wien in this condition a man is
ever ready and on the alert for a
chance to raise a disturbance with
| 'peaceable and law-ab ding citizens. A
stop should be put to this thing before
SOD ething serious grows out OF it.. a
word to the wise is sufficient"
This is a bad state of affairs surely
in prohibition county, but that does
not surprise us in the least. 1t only
shows that prohibition does not pro-
hibit. 1t is the same way every
where. Men will have whiskey, and
it seems when they get it in an unlaw-
full way it maFes them more reckless
and troublesome. This is natural,
because the people who sell whiskey
in violation of law generally sell the
very worst liquor they can buy so as to
make as much as they can out of IN
illegal business for the riak they run
in carrying it on. 1t IS a great pity
that probition does not prohibit, but
it seems to be a fact that it does not.

Iris not surprising to see such con-
servative papers as the Washington
Star, the Baltimore Sun and the Chi
cago Tribune urging South Carolina
to send BENZ. R. Tillman back to the
Senate. They assert that the Senate
not only needs Tillman, but needs more
OF them with Tillman's ability, patri-
otism and immunity from corruption.
Tillman is the greatest statesman in
the Senate today, and he cannot be

some of the real, honest prohibition
ist of that city but DR.. Broughton is
one they can't fool. He knows that
the real object of the liquor men is to
