THE EVILS OF INTEMPERANcE.

IR H. Morse Of Charlotte, n c., in The Conflict
If were fiendish enough to form CO.
partnership with the devil and enter into a
combination with hell to destroy the hap
piness of homes, degrade the character of
men, drag down to dishonor and dispair,
death and damnation, the youth of our
land; to blight the prospects and blast the
hopes OF the rising generation; to make
wives widows, fathers fiends, mothers mis-
cradle, children criminals and home hell;
to SOW depravity, spread immortality and
damage society, would run for office and
make laws and give men license to open
saloons in the pathway of our young men
and thus deceive and decoy, delude and
destroy our boys and brothers.
Let us judge the saloon by its results. If
it is a source of good we should support it;
if it is the cause of evil we should DESTROY
it. If l could only give the American
youth three words of advice they would be
to accept Christ, abstain from drink and
tobacco. Twill give any one S1OO that can
prove by the Bible how any one can be a
Christian and make or sell strong drink, or
make laws or give license or vote or help
to perpetuate the liquor traffic in any way,
and if cannot prove by the Bible that
any one that belongs to any church that
helps in any way to perpetuate it is
hypocrite, | will take thirty nine lashes on
my bare back and leave the United States
and never return as long as live.
You had better stop and think and act
before it is too late for you to shun hell,
where you will spend eternity with the
poor drunkards you are helping to send
there.

Some of the teachers in Baton Rouge
are growing tired of the Spectacular in
their avocation. They do not like the
employment of Miss Montana Hastings as
special teacher to give instruction in the
art OF teaching, and positively declare they
VIII not attend the meetings that are to be
held by Miss Hastings. No doubt the pro-
testing teachers are right. Ii they are
competent to teach they do not need a
"prompter. If the teachers are incom-
petent they should be discharged. The
school fund should be used in the emplov-
ment OF teachers to teach their pupils, and
not for special" instructors to teach the
teachers. Besides, the teachers, who are
no doubt as fully competent as their would

Well said by the Philadelphia North
American: "The people can rule if they

them if they choose to act. Popular gov
eminent is not a failure, but rather mag

Nashville American: The experience Of

speakers who rant about the dignity of
labor have mighty soft hands.
Chicago News: Many a man thinks
he's putting up strong argument when in
reality he's only making loud noise.

might have added Republican legisla-
tion.''

Brownsville Herald: Four and half
persons in each 1000 of the worlds in
habitants are either deaf and dumb, blind
or mentally afflicted.
Los Angeles Times: 1t will be favor
to the newspapers if the railroads will cur
tail the number of wrecks. Sometimes we
have other news that we would like to print.
Los Angeles Times: It will be no use
for United States Senators or Cabinet off,
GERS to come to Los Angeles while we have
the members of the New York baseball
club here.
Cadiz Record: A fellow in Wisconsin is
sixty'five years of age and boasts that he
has never kissed woman. Poor fellow!
We wonder what he has been living for all
these years.
American Farmer: We are to have free
seeds another year as Congress refuses to
cut off the graft. Strange that farmers
can't convince Congressman that they pre-
fer to buy their own seeds and know what
they are getting.
American Farmer; Congress has dock.
ed the railroads 81, 000, 900 for carrying the
mails. Now cut off the franking graft,
make everybody pay postage on what he
sends and the perennial deficiency in the
postoffice department will be leveled down.
Atlanta Journal: Acontemporary points
out one difference between the famous
murder trial now going on in New York
and the one in Virginia, namely, that it
has not been necessary to ask Virginia
ladies to retire from the court room be-
cause there was none present.
Los Angeles Times: After all, when we
get down to the root of the matter, Poor
Richards aphorism, Honesty is the best
policy" stands. The age may be material
istic to the last degree, but the Golden
Rule is pretty good one between man and
man and between corporations and public
in the present day. There is another
adge which rises in the mind: "Live and
let live." The man who wants to live most
comfortably and best is generally the man
who is most willing that his neighbors
should have chance to enjoy existence,
too.

PROSPERITY THROUGH THE HoG.-Says
the Union Springs Gala Herald: Prices
of meats would seem to indicate that the
prosperity OF this country hinges upon the
hog. If every farmer should cut out few
acres of cotton and devote it to the raising
OF those crops best adapted to the fatten-
ing of hogs, we believe it would fill that
long felt need of which we have SO often
spoken. Why, of all people, should we
depend upon the West for our supply of hog
meat? Everything is in our favor.

STATE RIGHTS AND MONOPOLY.
Monroe Star.l


President Roosevelt may be right in say
ing, as he did recently, that the States
rights cry is swelled by great monopoly
magnates who desire to interpose the re-
served rights of the States between them
selves and the kind of regulation he wants
to give them through Federal action.
This being SO, President Roosevelt only
strengthens the hands of these magnates
by his general assault upon the reserved
rights and powers of the State government
Monopolists did not invent the principles
of States rights and local self government
They have often been as ready as Mr.
Roosevelt himself to override these princi-
pies and to disregard State lines whenever
these stood in their way. But in every
section of the South, at least, the principle
of local self government is cherished as the
most precious inheritance of the American
people. Unbounded as is the patriotic de-
votion to the Federal Government, the
people will never consent to substitute its
power and control for State power and
control in the relations of life which the
constitution leaves in the hands of the
State governments.
The people desire the Federal Govern
ment to exercise the legitimate and consti-
tutlonal powers in any way and all ways
that may promote their welfare. But in
the last analysis they would rather side
with monopoly magnates shouting for
State rights than with a President who
practically denies the existence of such
right whenever they interpose barriers to
anything he wants to do. The President
will make fatal mistake if he encourages
resistance to his reform measures by push
ing too far the issue whether the States
have any rights at all which the Federal
Government is bound to respect.
