CAN A GAMBLER BE HONEST?

The Louisville Courier-J ournal de- clares that it is just as fond of the gambler as of the preacher, and thinks it just as easy for man to be an honest gambler as an honest preacher and that it respects the honest gambler just as much as it does the honest preacher. The Memphis Commercial Appeal then reproduces the editorial and adds it's endorsement.
 Now, we are not surprised at the GOurier-J ournal and the Commercial Appeal thinking as much of the gam blers as they do of other men: because men of evil and corrupt motives, men of low ideals and of sour and perverted dispositions. whose sole object in life is to get money, regardless of how or where it comes from, are apt to admire the successful gambler, because he often, at one fell swoop, cleans up as much hard cash as the average man can make at honest labor in five or

identity.

The Newport Democrat attempts to lay the blame for all the murders re- gently committed in Jackson county upon the pistol toter. The pistol toter is an evil that should be suppressed. but if we mistake not, bad booze has been the cause of these murders. So far as we can remember, there has not been murder committed in Jackson county in number of years when the murdered and the murderer were both duly sober. In fact, our observation has been that there are very few mur- ders ever committed anywhere by men who are duly sober. When man gets few drinks of bad whisky in him, he is ready then, if he has fan cied grievance against anybody, to
 settle up old scores, and he no more

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907

The Journal heartily agrees with the Sharp County Record in the fol- lowing: Between Gawge Donaghey, Bob Robert McFarlane and William Friday Kirby this paper has absolute ly no choice. They are three evils, in either of whom a United States gov ernment search warrant could not dis cover a trace of broad minded, patrio- tic statesmanship. They are men with demogogic hobbies, whose thoughts run more to self and aggrandizement than to the welfare of this great State and the prosperity and happiness of her people, ''

ten years.
 Judging from the Courier-Journal and the Commercial Appeals own statements, they doubtless admire this kind of a gambler above all men, be- because he is able to claim possession of more money with less effort than any other man. On the same principle we might say the maggott admires the buzzard because the buzzard is able to take up more carrion than the form CT.
 The Journal has serious doubts about there ever being an .'honest' gambler, because the profession itself is not honest, any more than horse- stealing or bank-robbery is honest, therefore it is impossible for man to gamble and be honest. When gam bier takes money from hissfellow man he takes it without giving anything in return, and money secured from any source without giving adequate returns therefor cannot be honst money. The professional gambler and the profess sional bank robber are on an equal footing, so far as honesty is concerned: !: the only difference being that some people will take chances on letting the gambler get their money when they will not take chances with the robber.
 A man cannot follow a dishonest profession and be honest, and more than he can lay hold of his own boot straps and lift himself out of the mire, and when the Courier-J Joural announces that it admires the gambler as much as it does any other man, it only re- veals it's true self to the world, thereby lowering its own self in the estimation of honest men of all classes, and has not added one whit to the respectabili- ty of the gambler or his profession.

Some fellow who is ashamed of his daddy is contributing a series of ar ticles to the Batesville Guard. in which he professes to believe that there is a popular clamor sweeping over the country for return to the old fashion ed township and county conventions for nominating candidate for Con- gress. Funny, isn't it, what queer noises some old geesers can hear when they get their imagination oiled up and in good working order? We haten't heard single man express Himself in favor of such method of nominating a candidate for congress- So far as our experience and observa- tion goes, these old-faShiOned conven- tions are the very essence of fraud and the people became thoroughly dis gusted with them before they were abol- ished.

Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health as Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-

comes necessary to turn to some tonic or

and help them TO get on their feet and
put the body into its proper condition. 1t
is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the InyalldS'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
n. Y. discovered that by scientifically
extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce a medicine which was pIarvelOuSly
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as well as
n any other chronic, or lingering all
nentS. This concentrated extract OF
Natures vitality he named TGolden Med

putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation of food which

Uncle Sam is to be the shop-keeper
OF the world. More than 1000 leading
business men OF the entire country,
delegates to the National Convention
for the Extension of the Foreign Com

declared this. The Convention, which
was the greatest business meeting ever
held in the United States, has adjourn
ed after three day session here, dur
ing which time it was addressed by
President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and Secretary Shaw. While the govern
ment reports for the last fiscal year
showed that the exports of the United
States have reached the enormous
total of about 81, 300, 900, 900, neverthe-
less this National Convention declares
that it will not be satisfied until the
country'S exports aggregate three bill
lions annually. The organization is

Those who declare that the Panama
hat Us as much thing of the past as

that not less than $500 900 worth of
these hats were exported from Column
bia last year, the industry ranking in
Importance with coffee. gold, hides,
cattle, tObacco and rubber. These
hats are not made in factories, but are
turned out by the peasant women in
their homes, the women trading them
at the stores for household necessaries.
IT it is any satisfaction to the man who
pays $3.50 for a hat that costs So in

like to know that the hats are made
from the fibre of the palm known
locally as ''jipa-japa," the name of

heather of those parts as 'hippy-

Panama hat to the United States in

grown enormously and is likely to con-
tlnue to increase, according to Consul

Our Washington
Letter.
BY EARL w. MAYO.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-It re-
NAMED for proud Kentuckian TO es-
tabIlSh a precedent in the history of
House Committees this week. This
was accomplished by Representative
Sherley, VINO declined an assignment
to the Judiciary Committee by the
Speaker. This Committee is che of the
most important in the House and in
personnel probably is the most infuen-
tial. To be appointed to it is consider
I'd not only distinguished honor but
q recognition of the candidates legal
attachments. Mr.. Sherley declined the
honor emphatically, and the reason for
so doing was given by Minority Leader
Williams, who declared it was done be-
cause Mr.. Sherley did not care for a
position for which the Democracy did
not recommend him and that he was
not anxious to pose as q seeker after
political charity by accepting crumbs
falling from the Speakers table.

President Roosevelt will press the
button at the White House that will
set IN motion the machinery of the
Greater Louisville Exposition to- be
helu from March Is to 80. This promise
was obtained at the White House this
week when Senator McCreary intro
duced Fred Levy, vice president of the
Exposition. Mr.. Levy remarked that
the management would pay all ex-
penses OF the coming exposition, which
led Mr.. Rooselyt TO reply humorously
that this certainly was an innovation

Sleeping uneasily in the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors, is the resolu-
ton offered last week by Representa-
tive Morrell of Pennsylvania, that the
Congress of the United States make a
satisfactory appropriation annual for
the development Of watersways, plac-
ing the appropriation on the same scale
as the bills passed each session for the
army and navy. The resolution is
sleeping uneasily from the fact that
Congressman from every section of the
country are endeavoring to prod it out
for vote. While no Congress can
pledge a succeeding one, nevertheless
the adoption of such resolution will
go a long way toward shaping future
legislation. The resolution is one that
long has been championed by the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress.

to bring to the attention of the country
and the necessity for developing a new

failure OF the railroads to keep pace
with the wonderful commercial de-
velopment of the country has furnish
ed an added reason why this resolution
should go through at this time. The
question has the hearty endorsement
