the PISTOL ToTER.

In one day last week three persons
were hurt. one Of them fatally and the
others seriously, by accidental ais
charges of pistols in Mississippi. A
few days before child was Instantly
killed in New York by playing with
pistol. This is just part OF the weeks
record of the destruction accidentally
wrought by pistols. Add to this the
lives deliberately taken by these little
instruments of death and the record
would be appalling. Just as long as
the law against packing pistols" is
indifferently executed and people go
about with murder In their hearts ana
an arsenal In their hip pockets we
may expect the country to be drenched
with human blood.
But there was little or no excuse for
the deaths of the two persons killed
by the accidental discharge of the pis-
tolls or for the serious injury of the
others from the same cause. In every
case the pistol had been placed under
the pillow and In removing the sheet
II had been discharged. Some people
are apparently so fascinated with the
death dealing pistol that they must
needs carry them to bed with them.
They are not satisfied to parade over
the country with q forty-four during
the day, but must take this "trusty'
weapon to their sleeping apartments.
There IL little doubt that some peo-
pie have the pistol mania. They put
all reliance In their hip pocket arse
nal and none in their own manhood !
and courage. The man who relies al
together upon his hip pocket, Is In
many cases an arrant coward. Al
though there are those who think that
packing weapons is sign OF courage
and manliness the contrary Is true.
The brave man, in this land OF civil
xation, does not need pistol and he
would scorn the suggestion to tote"
one. II Is the men who have thirst
for human blood or who lack courage
that pack the pistols.

DEMAND FOR MEN.

There has never been a time in the
history of the world when there was
such a demand for men. The world
needs strong men, men of vigor and
strength Of character. They are need
ed in all the walks of life as they have
never been before. In church and
state, in business and social life there
is a clamor for men with the ability,
with the courage and with the integ-
rity to meet and solve present day
issues. New problems are to be
solved every day. Changing condi-
lions present new issues. For their
solution strong men are required.
There has never been a time when
the world placed such high premium
upon real stalwart manhood, and 1t
would seem that the supply would be
greater. But there is always a place
for the man of action, of initiative
and the courage of his convictions.
The world has a work for every man
of this description. Modern life
brings new duties, added responsible
ties and an Increased strain Upon
manhood, but 1t also brings its reward
to those who are equal to the de-
mands' made upon them.
There is a clamor in public life for
men who are willing to fight for prin-
ciple, for virtue, temperance, morality
in the administration OF government;
for men who have the courage to
stand at all times for the right no
matter how great the opposition; for
men who never count the cost where
honor is involved; men who will not
hesitate where principle is at stake.
What the world wants Is strong men
who place principle above power and
whose walk In life Is guarantee OF
he sincerity OF their declarations.
The time server in whatever walk
II life may fnd temporary success;
lie may for a time profit through sub
Ierviency to every passing clamSr,

Who would scorn success won other

The PRIMARY.

There is no institution so purely
democratic as primary, and having
tried it once, people wonder how they
ever stood as long as they have, the
convention, and the wire-pulling boss,

fraud and the ward heeler's methods)
have so often overriden the popular
choice of the people.
Following the Southern idea of
direct primary-one of the many dem
ocratic plans forced on the South by
reason of the race question-comes
the same idea from the North. Illi-
nois had to make two efforts before
she shook off the rule of the conven-
ton boss, and now winning and es-
tablishing a general primary Of the

claims It "a glorious victory for the

THE PAPER TRUST.

Republican papers, because of the
recent advance in the price of the
material upon which they are printed
are loudly demanding that congress
place this article on the free list 1t
Is contended that the paper trust is
responsible for the arbitrary advance
in price, which is out Of proportion to
the supply and demand. 1t is, how
ever, admitted that the increasing
scarcity of pulpwood caused by the
tremendous demand for paper on the
part Of the great metropolitan dailies.
has been in part at least responsible
for the high prices.
Even the most incorporating pro-
lection papers are insisting upon pulp
wood going on the free list. The ad-
mission Of Canadian pulp wood would,
II is admitted, very materially reduce
the price Of paper and would enable
the publishers to give the public their
periodicals at quite a saving The
problem OF furnishing papers and 9TH
err periodicals at the prevailing cheap
prices because OF the increased cost
Of white paper is one that is giving
the publishers a great deal Of con-

ty policy I'm an orderly manner by the

controversy of any sort
Every patriotic citizen of this proud
State should hang his head in shame
when he reads the account Of the pro
ceedings OF the mob at Nashville yes
terday, called by courtesy the conven-
ton OF great political party. No prin-
ciple was at stake. no nomination to
any ONCE of power or profit was made,
il was all an unseemly scramble to
be first to the next Federal pie coun-
ter, yet citizens OF worcestershire
men and many Of them respectable
citizens Of their respective communi-
ties,-fought like demons. Force was
substituted for the ballot: riot super
ceded order and chaos reigned where
decorum and parliamentary usage
should have been enthroned.
Men forgot their dignity; they lost
all self control, decency was shamed
and violence prevailed over party law.
The property of the State was de-
stroyed and defaced; the historic cap
itol, the scenes of former grandeur
and glory, was made the arena for
personal encounter and physical tests
of strength and endurance. To call
such an assembly a convention is to
play with the English language. And
it was all over a few measley Federal
Offices.
The spirit which dominated the con-
vention at Nashville Wednesday was
the spirit which makes the night rider,
the white capper and the negro burn
ing mob. Law was defied and estab-
ished authority was spat upon; the
rules and precedents of the party for
lime immemorial were laughed to
scorn. What had been intended for
an orderly parliamentary assembly
vas nothing less than a riotous mob.
What this country needs in the court
house, in the convention, in every
Organization for the protection of So
.iety Or the advancement of good gov
,rnment is respect for law and an
obedience to lawful authority.
Fortunately, however, we shall new
r again in Tennessee witness scenes
imilar to those which have disgraced
he State and outraged decency. The
text Legislature will enact law that
will put an effectual end to the con- f.
ention and all future contests will

IAN this. The day of the machine, of

al bully and boss is gone forever.

L. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chemically deranged by mod

orally is the result.
In recent interview. while intro
ducing his medicine in u leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said There is just one
way, In my opinion, TO maintain gem
elal health. and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jorty OF Americans today have weak,
iiabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations OF
over feeding and lack OF exercise, until
today the entire civilized race is af-
fected. This is the true cause Of most
OF the i'll health of today Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
IS once more brought back TO normal
conditions.
