D. Lowe Of Atlanta, editor OF the
Southern Trade Press, formed a close
friendship with the boy senator at
Emory and has in the intervening
years watched his progress in the legal
and political world with great deal
Of interest.
In speaking of the recent honor con-
ferred upon Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Lowe said
that Bryan was the best balanced man
for his years that he ever knew, and
he was sure that he would make his
mark in the senate, for, although ne
was young in years, he had an old head
on his body and an extraordinary
mind.
"In addition to his great mind and
balance he had a boundless gift OF elo-
quence," said Mr.. Lowe. when he
was at Emory he was the champion
debater and spoke on all special occa-
sions, delivering addresses that sur
prised all who heard him. Even as
sophomore he was not sophomore and
was free from bombastic utterances.
Judge John w. Akin heard him speak
at one time and remarked afterward,
Bryan is the most finished speaker for
his years that have ever heard and
the judge, q great orator himself, knew
one when he heard him.
~ shall never forget the ends to
which Bryan used his gift, and one Of
| the most remarkable was that in pre-
venting himself from being put of a
southern train by a conductor. He was
at Emory then and wanted to go to his
home at Kissimmee for the holidays.
The Cotton States exposition was just
| over in Atlanta. and he purchased a
| scalper's ticket cheap and got aboard
a train When the conductor came
around collecting tickets he told Bryan
that his wouldn't do and that he would
| have to put him off the train.
"Whereupon, with tears in his eyes,
the young orator got up on his seat
and related in his eloquent manner to
the car full of passengers his trials
and tribu,ations, how he did not have
| any money and couldn't get any and
how badly he wanted to go home and
see the folks. and so moved their hearts
1 with pity that they hustled the con-
| ductor from the car and swore that nc
official, no matter of how high rank
could prevent Bryan from continuing
on his journey. And he went home"

Archbishop .Messmer Predicts
Failure of Prohibition.

tBY PRESS COMMITTEE OF. THE
ANTI TT-PRoHlBTTIoN LEAGUEP
/ The Roman Catholic Archbishop
Messmer of the Milwaukee diocese,
in press interview, delivered the fol
lowing weighty judgment on prohibit
tion:
Il do not believe that we can re-
form men by law" said the arch
bishop. Prohibition, according to
many observers, actually brings more
liquor into the homes of the people
than the open sale of intoxicants un.
Ger the proper police supervision.
This is because in order to buy liquor
Under the prohibition, the people are
compelled to purchase in larger guam
titles than is necessary for their inn
mediate needs.
Perhaps, too, the natural inclina-
tion of us poor humans 10 do that
which we are forbidden to do, may
have some influence in making prohi-
bition failure in most communities.
Il believe that there should be a
strong legislation adopted, however,
which will put the liquor traffic under
proper restraint. And more than that
is necessary, for all the laws in the
world would be of no avail without a
sincere and honest enforcement on
the part of the authorities.
Il think there should be a law
which requires early closing, and the
law should be very careful as to the
character of the saloon keepers. A
bad man is doubly bad in saloon,
for he has opportunities for exercising
his evil influences there which he
would not otherwise have.
THE saloon problem is one of the
most important now before the peo.
pie, and | think it is hopeful sign
that thinking men and women are
taking it up.
'One thing has long seemed to be
necessary in Milwaukee and else
where, and that is the eradication
root and branch of the socaIled stall
saloons. These places are sinks of
iniqhitys a menace to. the moral
health of the city and as such should
be stamped out as ruthlessly as any
other source of public contagion"

SewaH and Son.

Harold Marsh Sewall of Bath
Maine, has announced himself as a
candidate for the republican nominal
. tIon in congress from Maine to sue
ceed Congressman LittlefieId at the
latter retirements Sept. 80, next -
II is not only interesting to know
that Harold Marsh Sewall comes from
that portion of his district where
there are large shipping interests, and
that he is a friend of ship subsidies,
but that he is none other than the
son of his father, a well known demo-
crat, who was candidate for vice pres
ident with Bryan in 1896. e
Young Sewall became republican
during President Harrison's term, and
obtained Office as result of his break
Ing the family political ties. He has
lad position in the consular and diplo-
matic branches of the government
service. He was consul general to
Samoa and minister to Hawaii under
republican administrations and has
been in the Maine legislature.
That he is man of great zeal in
the interest of ship subsidies natural
ly makes him desirable among sub
sidy-loving republicans in Maine as
a. candidate for congress.
Whatever of continued success in
politics and public life Mr.. Sewall the
younger may enjoy, he should not be
unmindful that he owes much to his
father, who was one of a long line OF
democrats
Father and son may sometimes part
I'M matters political And it is all
right that they should. though as a
matter of principle we believe the
elder Sewall was a better lesson for
his son than mere experience in ap
pointive republican office.
We laud the independence of young
men who think and act for themselves
who cling to the, politics of theil
fathers, not because their fathers
were democrats or republicans, but be
cause, after careful individual investi
cation they believe their fathers were
right.
The right thinker urges this indie
pendence in thought, investigation and
political economic research, and con
fidently believes the result will be far
more republican than democratic sons
Deserving their ancestral politics and
lining up for principles that are demo
cratic and right. Young Sewall's case
is an exception, yet an interesting one

E. W. Kemmerer. a Cornell profess
or of economics, in speaking of stock
exchanges the other night at Ithaca.
n. Y, said:
Exchanges are big insurance COM
panies in which every member of so
ciety is member and the spectators
are the managers. They assume great
risks. and their position requires abil-
ity, and therefore society must pay
them highly. Although there is un-
d6ubtedly evil in dishonest manipula-
ton, it is more than overbalanced by
the good which speculation brings to
society in the form of this insurance.
I'm obtaining advance information
as to the condition of crops and the
political conditions. the spectators
are able to keep prices firm and to pre-
vent sudden fluctuations and thereby
are insuring society against a sudden
drop or swift changes

There is no inherent right in a
citizen to thus sell intoxicating liquors
by retail; il is not a privilege of a
citizen of the state or of citizen of
the United States. AS it is a busi-
ness attended with danger to the COM
munity. it may, as already said. be
entirely prohibited, or be permitted
under such conditions as will limit
to the utmost its evils"

Rich, Church Makes False Report
Good by Feeding Hungry Mob.
Some enemy of the fashionable Sec
ond Presbyterian church in Pittsburg
recently played joke with surprising
Results by circulating story that at
the morning service good breakfast
would be served to $50 of the city's
needy. Long before the time set for
service the vestibules and halls of the
big church on Eighth street were
crowded with the worst looking lot of
people who had ever been inside the
doors. They were hungry and had come
10 be fed. though neither the pastor
nor any Of his flock knew what was
expected.
Pastor S. Edward Young soon found
out, however, and. starting the collec-
ton with dollar, which he said would
find breakfast for ten men, he went
through the church and soon had
enough to feed every one and have
surplus for permanent Sunday morn
Ing breakfasts. Now every one is in
vited each Sunday morning to eat in
the basement at the expense of Pastor
YOung's Breakfast Brotherhood club"

BOTH SIDES OF THE PROHI-
r. BITION QUESTION
Personal Liberty.
GBY THE PRESS COMMITTEE OF TIL
LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE.l

LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE.l
One of liquor dealers hardest
worked arguments is that all prohibi-
tory legislation is an infringement of
personal liberty" They are constant
ly crying out against "sumptuary leg
islation," which attempts to regulate
what men shall eat and drink.
One answer to this argument is to
point to the Pure Food Law" which
prohibits the adulteration of food and
the laws which require the inspection
OF meats. Do saloonkeepers and brew.
ers complain of these?
But the best answer to this shallow
plea for personal liberty in drinking
liquor is found in the decision of the
courts.
Decision of United States Supreme
Court.
In. the case of Crowley VS.. Christen-
sen, 137 U. S. Rep. Sc, the court. per
Justice Field (staunch democrat).
SAID in answer to the usual personal
liberty claim made on behalf of the
saloonkeeper:
1T is undoubtedly true that it is the
right of every citizen of the United
States to pursue any lawful trade or
business, under such restrictions as
are imposed upon all persons of the
same age, sex and condition But
the. possession and enjoyment of all
rights are subject to such reasonable
conditions as may be deemed by the
governing authority of the country es-
sential to the safety, health, peace,
good order and morals of the commun-
ity. Even liberty itself, the greatest
of all rights, is not unrestricted Ii
cense to act according to ones own
will
ut is urged that, as the liquors are
used as beverage, and the injury
following them, if taken in excess, is
voluntarily inflicted, and is confined
to the party offending, their sale
should be without restrictions, the
contention being that what a man
shall drink, equally with what he
shall eat, is not properly matter for
legislation.
There is in this position an as
sumption of fact which does not
exist, that when the liquors are taken
in excess the injuries are confined
to the party offending. The injury.
it is true, first falls upon him in his
Health, which the habit undermines; /;
in his morals, which it weakens; and
in the establishment which 1t creates.
But, as it leads to neglect of business
and waste of property and general
decentralization, it affects those who
are Immediately connected with and
dependent upon him. BY the general
concurrence of opinion of every civil
|ized and Christian community. there
are few sources of crime and misery
to society equal to dram shop,
where intoxicating liquors, in small
quantities, to be drunk at the time,
are sold indiscriminately to all par
ties applying. The statistics of every
state show a greater amount of crime
and misery attributable to the use of
ardent spirits obtained at these retail
