Is there any special call for a
law to prevent our christian
science friends from practicing
their method of healing. Has
the practice of the healing art,
under their system, become so
successful that it IS interfering
with other methods, or is there a
decline in the demand for drugs
that call for radical measures.
Why interfere with the person
al liberty of the family in q mat.
ter of choice in such case. Does
anyone question the right of the
family To call in an alopath, a
homeopath or an eclectic. We
may question their taste or their
Judgment in such matter but not
their right of choice. Then why
prevent them going further and
deciding that they will have none
of these but will try another and
altogethr different method. Most
medicines are little else than di.
luted poisons and as a rule the
less taken the better. IL is q

There is no use making them the

port.

THE TRIBUNE acknowledges
the receipt of the very interest
ing report of State Treasurer
j. F. Gmelich for the biennial
period ending Dec. 81, 1906.
During the two years covered
by the report the State has re
ceived as interest on deposits,
1853, 285, nearly 80 per cent.
more than was ever paid before
for a like period. AT all times
the treasurer has been able to
pay warrants issued by the
State Auditor promptly on pre-.
sentation, on any of the state
funds. Taking all things into
consideration the State Treasury
was never in better shape than it
is just now. The State Treasur.
er makes a good showing, and by
so doing reflects credit upon his
party and upon the State.

Republicans of this county can
now safely begin to question
their Democratic neighbors as to
how deep the late Democratic
county court run the county in
debt. There is a record of 5000
outstanding warrants in the pro.
ceedings Of the county court and
we have had an intimation that is
not one.half of it. These out.
standing warrants are a good
deal like those state school ceIti.

Democrats of Bates county are

Psnalons Of Conrcderatss.

-
It has not been many years ago
since Southern orators and poll.
ticians proudly boosted that tho
Confederate veteran received no
pension, and scorned to receive
money for having served his
country as q matter of duty and
patriotism. That sort of high
sounding talk has been silenced.
Every Southern state pays PEN
sions to Confederate veterans
and it is entirely proper that they
should. But what a change in
sentiment the years have
wrought! A change, also in the
financial condition Of many vet
Grams and in the physical condi.
ton of all of them.
Tennessee pays $3.50, OOoa year
in pensions for Confederate vet
Grams, and $3.50 DOC a year in wild
lows pensions. In addition it
maintains a Soldiers Home, for
which the state made an original
appropriation of $25,0OO. Later
it gave $40, 900 for fences, cabins,
etc. Individual subscription
amounting to over $4,000 have
been made, and the present value
of the property is about $4,000.
There are ia inmates of this
home, and they are maintained
ct q cost of $135 per capita, or
about $4,000 a year.
Tennessee pays the best rate
of pensions of any Southern
state. Its lowest pension to men
is $50 a year, or S.. a month, and
its highest is $500 a year, or $25
a month. Widows of the highest
class receive $72 a year, and wild
ows Of the second class $50,
Only a few states pension widows
and none pay over $50 a year, or
half Of the lowest rate in Tennes-
see.
In Alabama most pensions for
men run from SIC to SIS a year,
) and none over $50. In Virginia
the average pension is $50 a year
and in South Carolina the major
ity of pensions paid are $ls.s5 a
year. In Georgia a pensioner
who lost one finger is paid $3.50
a year, or a fraction over 20 cents
a month. The average pension
in Georgia is $50 a year. In
Louisiana the majority of pen.
sions are $50 q year. In North
Carolina the average is S25 a
year, in Mississippi it is so, and
r in Arkansas 500 a year. In Tex
/ as pensions range from 81 10 SIS
a year. II will thus be seen that
Tennessee pays a higher rate Of
pensions than any other state.
Yet Tennessee has a much larger
state debt than any other south
ern state, except Virginia.
. While Georgia pays much
, smaller pensions than TenHesseC
it leads in the amount of pension
appropriation -$eoo,o 900 a year
1t has II 600 pensioners. Ala
bama pays S25o,oOo a year, anC
has about 1900 on the pension
roll, among which the apbropria
. ton is equally divided. Virginii
gives $25O,O 900 and North Carroll
ma $200, 900. Kentucky gives NJ
pensions, But maintains a Sol
diers' Home, with a per capiti
of $l75 a year for inmates. Tex
as gives $25o,OOO, the same a
y Tennessee, bat Tennessee give.
in addition $4,000 a year 70
