Real Reason Why LaFollette Failed

Carter and Scott acted as hosts to
Senator Stone and done their duty
nobly. Mr.. Stone had been delegated
10 aid Senator La Toilette in his NIL
buster against the currency bill, but
when the time came for him to act he
was not present. Neither was the
presence Of Carter or Scott noticed
on the floor OF the senate. Several
dispensers of "glad water" say they
know where the trio spent the greater
part of the day.
Senator Gore lost the filibuster be-
cause Of his blindness. Some time be-
fore he concluded Mr.. Stone slipped
into a chair beside him and said he
was ready to take hold at any time
Mr.. Gore said: "All right" and be-
lieved Mr.. Stone was present when
he sat down. Instead. Mr.. Stone was
taking a snooze in the Democratic
cloakroom.
JEFF Davis was also absent from the
senate. He had left Little Rock de
termined to save the country, but got
lost somewhere on the route.

THE real manner in which the La
i Toilette flibuster on the currency
bill was lost furnishes one of the most
amusing series OF incidents In the his
tory Of congress. The failure is due
In a great measure to Senators Scott
and Carter, who modestly admit that
they are the champion entertainers
of the country.
Senator Stone Of Missouri has been
shown" but has not yet given expert
testimony on the subject OF their
claims. Several dispensers Of refresh
ments declare that Carter and Scott
know how to buy. They eulogize the
princely spending powers Of the two
senators and will cheerfully give them
letters of recommendation.

II a saloon is a good thing why is it
that fathers do not recommend the bust
ness to their sons2- Yet there is not
saloon man who, if he had a son, and
cared for him, would advise him to
spend his time and squander his money
over a bar for liquor. And there is
not saloon man but will admit that
any man is better off if he will live a
sober life. The saloon men know that
whiskey will ruin any man, and we
have plenty Of evidence of this awful
fact right here in Troy. Theie bust
ness is to ruin men morally, physically
and financially, another fact positively
proven by scores Of men living in and
around Troy. We have honres made
unhappy children and mothers made
to suffer- and other evidence of the ss-
looms work, and yet for business rea-
son we have men who defend the sa-
loon. To them ruined homes mean
nothing; mothers tears mean moth
ing; the right of dimpled babes and
innocent children to sober fathers
tender care mean nothing. The fact
the saloon is the father OF crime, the
progenitor of vice, the direct cause of
untold poverty, sorrow and human
woe is nothing. The saloon makes
business, they allege, ard that is
enough. But when the evidence
shows that the saloon does not make
business, creates nothing, and gives a
community nothing, is it not time to
put these dens out OF existencea And
even if the saloon did make business,
which they do not, are they not an evil
OF such magnitude that any community
is better off without them? There is
not one argument in favor Of the saloon.
Noton Let us drive them out of
Troy.
