the shop watching us print the

would say again, as we oft have
done before, that the HERALD
considers the good women of of
this land its constituents of the
first rank. They are the power in
the homes, the salt of the earth, to
them we owe much, much. They
are our friends and defenders in
season and out. Our headwear
goes off respectfully every time
the thought of what they are to
this paper, and how they have aid
ed in its upbuilding: courses
through mind, and its frequents
God bless the ladies. What would
become of this old country If t
were not for their benign presence.

One of the most dangerous types
of blind tigers is embodied in the
locker clubs which are engaged in
the sale OF Intoxicating liquor. They
are specially dangerous to large
class OF young men who escape the
ordinary blind tigers. There are
many young men who either from
personal pride and self respect or
other causes would scorn to go into an
ordinary blind tiger, and yet will fall
readily into the snarcs of the buffet
of the so called social clubs which
flourish in spite of the fact that they
are operated in violation of the law
In these organic tionS these young
men can usually find intercourse with
congeniai friends. They can pass the
time pleasantly They can usually
find u sociable card game where they
can crafty the desire to gamble.
This is q combination of tempt atiOns
a young man can scarcely resist.

look at directly, but first lets view
the glory of the orb Ito carry out
the figure.) A writeup of the
evening is given in the language Of
another in this issue. In the main
we consider it a good production
one in which the recitations were
we'll recited; the dialogues and
monologues we'll delivered and en-
acted. The most captivating fea-
lures were the drills. Here was
most dazzlingling shown the deft
hand that painstakingly and thor
oughly prepared the pupils for
their several parts. The measured
tread of their feet as the manouvers
were made over the rostrum had
the real military ring. The only
vulnerable point that our eye dis
cerned for the critics dart in the
program, was in that part of
the play Picked Up Dinner, :"
where beer and wine are represent
ed as recognized condiments for
the table; and where there was a
profuse punctuation of the cast of
one of the actors with bywords;
Both of these could have been cut
out without any violence to the
Characterization of the piece and
in considerate harmony with the
recent Temperance movement and
the choice language crusade, when
the large per cent of impression
able (young) auditors are taken
into the reckoning. Be that as it
may, however, we must say that
the Recital was carried through in
a very successful manner, and our
commentator is extended for the
esprit de corps, both of the clever
trained entertainers and their
very competent drill master. 1t
must be remembered that this
work was done gratutiously as
school benefit and that after the
cost was counted and paid, some
dollars went into the Golfers of the
school thanks to these generous
labOurerS.

The Union Advocate without Tom
Haynie as its editor loses the snap
and pungency characteristic of his
writings. Whether or not the or
ganization of negro farmers into
unions is politically wise, it must be
admitted that success of the holding
movement is imperilled by the un-
controlled cotton the negroes raise.
This cotton added to that CONTROL
ed by the advancing merchant make
in the aggregate so per cent of the
crop-a quantity sufficiently large to
materially affect prices and to render
the holding movement of doubtful
virtue.

"plumed knight" in the bitterness

''Mediocrity and expediency ruled

many leaders who now dance at

have passed him by on the other
side. The Parker experiment has

Sunday ball is played in most Of
the larger cities of the North, but
has never been popular in the South,
where a majority of the people have
different ideas as to how the Sab
bath should be observed. The North
contains large foreign population,
whose ideas of Sabbath observance
do not accord with a majority of the
native born citizens, of which class
the South holds decidedly the larger
proportionate number. In some of
the larger Southern cities this amuse-
ment is INDUCED in, especially in
those communities where manufac-
turing industries exist. 1t will be
long time before the agricultural
districts of the Southern States will
accept the idea that playing baseball
on Sunday is just the proper way to
observe that day.

In the October number of the
North American Review the editor
said " We are convened that the
time has arrived when the welfare OF
the Nation would be most effectually
conserved by comforting upon women
the privilege of voting and holding
office. Today we are satisfied that the
Intellectual equipment of the average
American women is quite equal to
that of the medal man. Morally, it is
admitted, she is his superior, and
therein lies the basis of our convic-
tiOns, that as matter, not of right,
but of policy, she should be taken III
to full political partnership.
The three evils most menacing to
the country today are. % debasement
of moral standards in politics and
business, GU absorption by few, at
unwarranted cost to the many, of the
commonwealth, and (3) unreasonable
and violent expression of resentment
by the multitude.
With each of these perils the Amer
can women is quite us compe tent to
cope US the American man.
Beginning as q demand for rights,
the right TO education, to business
opportunities, property rights, the
suffrage work has more and more be-
come plea for power to help in
righting wrong conditions.
A republic can not afford to dis
franchise its mothers, for disfranchis-
ed motherhood means u lack of patri-
Otto training for her sons and daugh-
tiers. Herein lies the explanation OF
the fact that so many good men scorn
Olitics.

Moran Earns Draw.
San Francisco. Cal, Sept S.-When
Owen Moran and Abe Attel had COM
pleted their 90 rounds of fighting at
the Mission street arena yesterday af-
ternoon and Referee Jack Welsh rails
ed the hands of both featherweights
in token of a draw, he gave the only
decision he could have rendered.
Attel had the class and scored the
more effective punches, but he let
Moran do most of the leading, content
ing himself for the most part with
countefing. Neither fighter was dis
tressed at the close, and although
Moran showed the marks of Attels
gloYes where the American had jabbed
and cut him about the face, he was
still strong and rugged. To have Civ
en- a decision to either would have
been doing an injustice to the other.
1t was largely the fault of Attel that
he did not win the verdict. He was by
far too cautious, not willing to take a
chance when he saw he could land.
There were but few times during the
fight that he let himself loose. His
lack of aggressiveness and his willing
ness to let Moran do the leading is
what threw away the verdict and long
end of the purse.

Boston, Sept. S.-Harry Lewis was
given the decision last night at the

thought this award of the referee was
about right. for INK was in distress

opponent.
