Large Salaries.

AN~A ASDe
The graduates of the Tyler Com.
mercial College, Tyler, Texas draw
the largest salaries Of any college
graduates - the >tate. The reason
is plain: This school gives the most
thorough, complete and extensive
courses of StenOgraphy, business
training, and telegraphy to be found
anywhere. With our ADVANTAGES of
the modern famous BYrne systems of
bookkeeping and shorthand, we re.
duce the time required for COMPLETING
course from two to four months Ov-
er what is required in other schools.
If Won are acquainted with the av-
erage business college graduate. Won
know they 90 ont and work in offices
as helpers, or where the work is LIGHT, |
at most any price to get start, many !
working for Sc and IS per week. This !
is not so with the graduates of the
Tyler Commercial College. Our thor.
Ough practical courses gives the stud
ent the training and experience that
enables him TO go into and hold the
better class of positions vacated nv
experienced help, and thereby draw a
good salary from the very! first. The ,
advanced salary that our students
draw over the salaries received by
graduates of other schools wouId
make it cheaper for the student to at.
tend our school and pay the full rate O
of tuition than to attend another Ii
school with tuition free. 2

WASHINGTON, October 9.-(Spec-
ial. THE leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League throughout the country are in
dulging in severe criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt because while at st.
Louis, at the reception rendered him
he drank a glass of champagne in
response to a toast. Newspaper clip

verse comments from temperance

mild, but many almost bitter in in

dents action.
A fair sample of the more moderate
criticisms is that of VIM. H. Ander-

Wave of Total Abstinenc.

Undoubtedly a great wave in favor
of total abstinence is sweeping over
the land The railroads and other
large industrial enterprises are de-
manding men who are not only tenn
perate, but total obstainers. There
is a clamor in army circles for the
restoration of the canteen. In my
opinion, it not only will not be res
tored, but restrictions will be placed
on the officers in the army as to the
quantity of liquor used.
politics is the only field of human
activity where the fact that a man
drinks toexcess is not a detriment.
Because of this it is difficult to get
any legislation in favor of temperance
much less prohibition.

A Beautiful Exhibition.

Such public exhibitions no doubt
will have a baneful moral influence
on the youth of our land, and must
be regretted 1t is distressing to
me to see a strong man, who has COM
plete control of himself, indulge in
intemperance which might be imi-
tated by others in emulation of his
example. 1t would be far more cred
liable, in my judgment, for man in
Mr.. Roosevelts position to have fore
gone the pleasure of the cup that
cheers on that occasion.
"The fact that an occasional drink
is condemned in Mr.. Fairbanks and
condoned in Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. j.
Pierpont Morgan is due no doubt to
the different creeds of their churches.
The discipline of the Methodist
Church is strict in regard to total
abstinence, while doubtless some of
the Reformed Church and Episcopal
clergy indulge in moderation. But
these are personal matters to large
extent

After Speaker Joe Cannon.

For instance, the Littlefield Car
mack bill has been before Congress
for the last five years, but has been
kept in the committee room largely
through the efforts of Speaker Can
non. Judging from his actions, no
doubt, he has no scruples in serving
wines at diner nor partaking when a
guest We are building good-sized
fire under Mr. Cannon and if we are
not badly mistaken there will be quite
an explosion in his camp when Con-

because of the fight we are waging
against them.

SUPERIOR COURT
Only Business of Minor
Nature Before 1t

moving with its usual expedition in
the transaction of the business COM

AS usual there is considerable civil
business of minor character, while the
criminal side of the court is represen-
ted by cases of only a petty nature.
Webster county rejoices in an alb
sence of crimes of a grave charac-
ter, and, as a usual thing, four days
are adequate to clean the dockets of
all cases that attorneys are prepar-
ed to go to trial with.
The Grand and Petit Jurors.
The Grand Jury at this term of the
court is composed as follows:
Messrs. ]. R. Stapleton, foreman;

To Enforce State Dryness.

"The bill provides that all packages
become subject to the State law as
soon as the border line is passed.
Whenever a State votes for prohibi-
ton it is an outrage for its object to
be defeated by license granted by the
Federal Government. 1t is a matter
of giving to each State its right to
govern itself and the police power to
enforce the State law.
Democrats throughout the South
are in favor of the Littlefield-C -Carmack
bill, and if the Republicans are not
careful they will be found outside the
breatswork on this question, which is
one of vital Importance"

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-07-30

1t was George AIDE who beat the rest
probably we would not have thought
of-that the cocktail follows the flag.
The Indiana author, had not the soul
OF wit compelled him to be brief, might
have enumerated many other things,
some more and some less admirable
than the cocktail, which have followed
the flag into the Philippines. Raymond
T.. Mason, former editor of the Manila
Times, writing for the London Com
meIcial Intelligence, states that in the
years since Admiral Dewey shot his
way into Manila bay" the once simple
minded Filipino has undergone many
decided changes. AS has always been
the case when civilization touches the
brown or the black or the red man. our
bothersome little brother" has lost
much of his picturesqueness in eX-
changing his centuries-old dress and
customs for the garb and habits of the
whites.
Slowly, but surely, as the Japanese
have done, Mr.. Mason states. the Fill
pinos are adopting European dress
and never does the ugly garb of mas
culine civilization stand forth so fully
revealed in all its hideousness as when
brown legs are clothed in Tapping
trousers and brown backs hunched into
sack coats. If, before modern mans
dress was supinely accepted by the
sex. it could have been tried on" some
fIee-limbed son of the wilds. the stern
er sex would have revOlted and might
even now be clothed in the toga of the
Romans or the graceful garb of the
Arab while the first tailor who dared
to fashion pantaloOns or frOck coat
would have been ridden out of town
httingly clad in a simple clinging gar
ment of tar and feathers. Alas, for
lost opportunities!
But to return to the Filipino: Euro
pean hats and shoes are now almost
universal on Sunday-even among the
lower classes-in the large towns
throughout the islands. OF course. in
the wilds the natives still cling TO their
primitive garb, but the street crowds
IL the town are rapidly losing that mic.
turesqueness that endeared them to
