TIME TO ACT.
The B. G. Times Will Not Support
Man Who Will Not Make an
Effort to Help Himself.

The Bowling Green Time.
speaks right out in meetin' in the
following:
All means have been exhausted
along certain lines to save a mar
"a nominee Of the Democratic
party. He will not listen to the
entreaties of family and friends.
In fact the poor fellow seems un-
able to extricate himself from the
habit that is destroying him-that
has already hopelessly destroyed
him. God pity him. Those who
are on the inside Of the efforts that
have been made to save, we'll know
that the Times editor has used ev-
cry means to save him. He has
refused all Overtures-all proffers
OF help and is now unable to ex-
tricate himself from his perilous
condition. The efforts of loved
ones to save him have proved fu-
tile.
In justice to the man himself, to
his family, to his friends, to the
Democratic party, and to the
promise made months ago-before
the primary election-that the
Times would not support a man
who proved himself unworthy, we
this week take his name from our
columns. This is not hasty ac-
tlon. We do not expect perfection
from any source aad no man
man should be held responsible
for boyhOOd habits that have been
put aside-all men are frail, but
when a man, honored by the peo.
pie, persists in openly violating
the law he is sworn to execute, it
is time to call halt.
Censure the Times if you please.
Right here we will say that no
will do more tU help a man
get rid of habit than the writer.
but when one WILL NOT make
an effort to help himself, it is the
duty of the newspaper to throw
off the yoke and do what he thinks
is right.

er, Rev. Alfred Lockwood, of the
Episcopal church of his city. He
says the preacher in commenting on
the recent murder by boy of his
father, startled his congregation
by the following words:
Hear me as l utter my candid
and deliberate judgment that no
city our size in all this broad land
is cursed with weaker or more
inefficient administration than
Spokane,
According to our city press,
gambling, immortality, box rustling
drunkenness are as common for
the minor as for the adult, and
people with wealth, position and
influence, with their autos and
their carriages, with their dinner
parties, and l am not sure but
with their card parties, are iuclud-
ed in the class that is bringing
Sunday down to a level with, if
not below, the continental Sunday.
"AndNs far as the pulpit of
this particular church is concerned,
it is going to demand, from this
time on until the next city election
a change in administration that
will give morality chance.
That is what the church is to
fight for; but it stands in society,
saying its prayers, hugging its
creed, singing its hymns, and let's
society go to the devil.
What have you right to ex-
expect when dens of vice. holes of
corruption and cellars of rotten
ness flourish broadcast all over the
city, Haunting their defiance in the
very face of order and de-
cency, with nothing said and moth

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Can't We Have It in This County
and Congressional DISTRICT


suggestion from an exchanges:
In the good days of Missouri
politics, which both sides glibly
quote and regret, it was the Gus.
tom of he candidates for Congress
in the several districts to hold joint
debates upon the issues before the
people, at least one discussion be-
ing held i4 each county. By this
means the people could see and
hear their favorites, get an intelli-
gent grasp of the political situa-
ton by hearing each side as repre-
sented by its chosen champion, and
thus make up their minds as to
whom to support at the polls.
This method of campaigning would
accomplish what both sides seem
to desire, tn at of arousing enthu-
siasm and becoming better en-
lightened as to men, measures and
conditions. If, as our Republican
friends insist, the people were bet
ter informed politically, it would
inure greatly to their advantage
and largely increase the Republi-
can vote in this state, it would
seem that they would be more anx-
ious to have the opportunity to
have the voters better informed
and, therefore, more liable to cast
their lot with the party which is
now under fire and which claims
it needs no defense.
Senators Stone and Warner,
representative champions of their
respective parties, could hold at
least one joint debate in each con.
gressional district in the state Eand
thus arouse all the latent enthusi-
asm in the minds of their friends
and insure full party vote at the
coming election. The democratic
and republican nominees in each
district could aud should hold
one discussion at each county seat
or most important town in their
respective districts, and thus give
all the people an opportunity
to see and hear at first hands the
men their delegated conventions
had named as their champions and
representatives.-Sen Stone
and Warner served together in the
house of representatives, they ran
against each other for governor,
and they now represent Missouri
in the greatest deliberative body
in the world, the Senate of the
United States. The very fact that
they were to publicly discuss po-
litical questions from the plat
form on the same day would in
duee such an outpOuring Of the
people as has not been seen in Mis- |
souri, in 60 years. Then, too,
when it was known that the two
rival candidates for seats in the I,
lower house of congress would hold |
like debates at the larger towns in
the district everybody would come
out and drink in the words of
wisdom and enlightenment uttered |
by the men chosen to represent !
them in the national Legislature,

FROM CALIFORNIA.
No Place For You if You
Haven't Money.
An Audrain Mans Peach
Crop-High Taxes and
Other Items.

Selma, CAL, Sept. 8, LOGGED
| IToR MESSAGE: have been de-
laying a renewal of my subscrip
ton with the intention of giving
you a brief description of this sec,
tion of California.
We are in Fresno county, 22C
miles southeast of San Francisco,
in the center Of the great San Joa.
quln Valley. The mountains are
in sight on both sides Of us. Those
on the east have snow upon them
all summer, and from this snow
melting Kings River is supplied
with water and from the River nu-
merous streams radiate thru the
country, furnishing the water for
irrigation. This land when well
w8tered is very productive. The
principal crops are raisins, grapes,
Of which there are thousands of
acres in this county alone; peaches
come a close second, also Eapri.
cots, nectarines, figs, table grapes,
plums, berries, melons, cante-
lopes and also alfalfa. Land is
comparatively high in price here
to what 1T is> in Missouri. Raw
land here sells at from $35 to $50
per acre. Land in bearing vines,
300 to $500; in bearing peach
trees even higher than these prices.
When rented for cash rent $50 per
acre is considered cheap rent.
The peach crop was light this
year, and those who were fortu-
nate enough to have any got 1Oc
per lb. Dried raisins are bring
ing 31ac. j. l.. Crouch, an Au-
drain county man here, sold the
peach crop off of three acres for
$500. Another gentleman who
owns a 20 acre vineyard tells me
that he will have % tons of rails
ins. So you see this land is not
high in proportion to what it pro-
duces.
The country is very thickly set
tied here. There are churches of
all denominations, good schools,
free high schools, and good roads
the year round.
The population is made up of
Missourians and people from other
Mississippi Valley States. Japan
ese are numerous, together with
representatives from every nation
in Europe and Asia. But right
here around Selma and Sa niger are,
think, more native born Nilsson
rians than you now have around
Mexico. To the man who has 5 |
to 10 thousand dollars in money
and wishes to live easy, in a coun-
try with all the advantages l have
mentioned, this country is good |
place to locate in, but would not
advise any man to come here with |
less than $1,000. l forgot to say
that there are very few insect |
pests here. Flies are about the
same as in Missouri. Mosquitoes
are some worse, ANTS are numerous.
Very few poisonous insects. No |
ticks, chiggers or snakes, rats or
moles.
On the other side a man may
buy land full of alkali aud his
trees and vines will die. He may
get land too high to get ditch
water upon it. and many other
are to be watched for, and
last. but not least, the taxes are
very high. The levy for state pur.
poses this year being 511Sc.
Yours truly,
II TnAfpRINs
