Drowned In the OpeQuOn.

John Fravel, well-known Berkeley
county farmer, residing four miles
southeast of Martinsburg, met "a tragic
death while bathing in the Opequon
near his home in company with his
son and another man last Sunday.
The party were in the water at com.
parativelY shallow point, but Mr..
Fravel went farther down the stream
where the water was deeper. Before
he realized it he was in hole where
the water Is about eight feet in depth,
and when he attempted to swim out of
the deep water, he was seized with
the cramps and sank. Realizing the
peril of his father, the son went to his
assistance and made a heroic effort to
carry the drowning man 10 the bank.
In this, however, he was not success-
full, and his struggles exhausted him
and he too sank with his father. The
other man in the party then swan out
to the drowning men and succeeded
in getting the son to the bank, but
was unable to save the father. Mr..
Fravel was well-known in the south
eastern part of che county, where he
had resided for many years. He was
good swimmer but was attacked
by cramps while in the water and rem
pered helpless. He was aged 65 years
and was Union veteran of the Civil
War. Surviving are FIVE children,
all residing in Berkeley county.

VIM announces that he will begin a
crusade which he expects will e1ter-
inmate rats in st. Louis. He has
discovered new virus which he be-
lieves will eradicate the pest. Rats
from several parts ofthe city will be
inoculated with the virus, and if his
theory works, he says, rodents will be
unknown there in few months. DR..
VIM will inoculate several live rats
with the virus like persons are vaccin-
ated. The virus will cause the TO.
dent to become very sick and get
high fever. The fever will cause it to

Mrs. Groves complaints was that her
husband did not go visiting with her,

be glad that a divorce was refused.

Legislators, evidently proceeding upon
the idea that responsibility could be
! legislated into a business Inherently
wrong, have sought by various and d.
yers methods to control the traffic and
make it a decent and legitimate bust
ness. But at last the people saw the
futility of such efforts; they discov-
cred that the only way to control the
saloon was to kill it and proceeding
upon this theory the legalized liquor
traffic as a local institution has been
banished from three-fourths of the ter
ritory of this nation
The same methods were for time
applied to gambling. No one has ever
sought to defend gambling, that is no
one whose opinions are worth quoting,
but certain forms of gambling have
been legalized and hedged about with
Legislative responsibility" upon the
idea that they were necessary evils.
The last class of this species of gamb-
ling to survive the enlightened moral
sentiment of the twentieth century is
book-making on the races. Despair
ing of all hope of properly regulating
the evil the Legislatures of practically
every State in the Union with the ex-
,eption of two, have outlawed the vice. !
In Kentucky, however, unique
scheme was devised for its regulation.
\ Commission to regulate and control
he business was established. In 9TH
II words the State embarked in the
;ambling business, just as the State
# South Carolina embarked some
ears ago in the liquor business. But
he scheme would not work; the
amblers who have contempt for
he laws of God and the great moral !
lws of the universe, refused to be !
egulated. The gamblers at Latonia !
ave openly defed the law. In the :
nd the gamblers will lose, of course, a
ut they will have themselves to +
lame, for the people of Kentucky i
i'll learn from bitter experience that A
trade so nefarious must be abol- n
he'd, it cannot and will not be reg V
ated. Just as the saloon has long s
20 sinned away its day OF grace; so

REGULATING VICE.

Our laws have never proven more
impotent than when enacted for the
purpose of regulating vice. Businesses
which are in their nature immoral
have never been successfully regula
ted and controlled by law and they
probably never will be. It has been
conceded almost from the beginning
of time that the liquor traffic was es-
sentially an immoral business, but for
years 1t was tolerated in all parts of
the country under the delusion that
It was necessary evil" AS a mat
ter of fact there are no necessary
evils" The idea that thing must be
legalized and encouraged merely be-
cause 1t Is necessary, has been long
since exploded. II has been consigned
to place along side the one time but

Because Bishop Hoss, one of the
greatest divines in the protestant
church today, had the courage and
the good judgment to protest against
the reign of lawlessness in this State
and to appeal for the supremacy of
the law and obedience to constitut-
ed authorities, venomous articles at
lacking him are given to the public
by the Nashville machine organ. In
the course of his sermon the Bishop
very properly condemned those off,
cials who have been recreant to their
duty. Some Of the machine defend
ers would make it appear that in do
ing so he was attacking the Demo
cratic party. If there are officials of
this character the fact that they are
Democrats should not and does not
palliate the offense.
