THE TRAGEDY OF DRlNL

Every feature of the drink evil in tragic. From the youth who ,oses his moral courage and | takes his first drink, to the o.d man writhing in de,irium trem- ems.
 But there is one feature that to us is worse than al. It $ not all the things that follow the drink. the murders, the poverty the insanity, the lock-stepped columns of criminals in our jails made so by the drink It is not these that make the real tragedy These are fearful things, but the real tragedy, in our mind, is the deatliuctiOn in young men, of perception.
 Long before the drinker be- comes a drunkard he loses his seH-respect; long before he be- comes a criminal he loses his moral perception; long before he becomes a murderer he loses ev- cry instinct of pity The cea, tragedy of the drink is that it kills character. There are wreck ! on the sea of life because the drink has lured them on the rocks of laziness and evil assoc iations, but who are not yet drunkards, criminals and murd- erers. So let us without delay end this tragedy of the drink by prohibiting it's manufacture and sale for beverage purposes Oh voters, can you longer delay? Can you longer sit idly by and see the thousands of young men throughout the country decorate our saloon corners, and lead pur- poseless and useless lives? Then to the rescuel!l
 Throw your voice and vote for statutory prohibition when the legislature cOnveneS. Do not put it off. Your boy. may fgo down while you wait. My boy boy may. It is your solemn duty to protect and preserve the we,- fare of our citizens. And any influence as demoralizing as that of the drink should be put un- der the ban of the law and not not protected by it.

THE lMPERILED PEANUT.

Is the peanut in peril? Judging rom the fact that a de.egation cl friends of the go0ber recent y appeared before the ways and 1 means committee and asked for more protection we should say It's future Is seriously jeOpardized.
 It appears that the American peanut has to compete with the pauper peanut of Europe and u1- leSs the tariff IS increased the the home-grower poduct may sui Ter Merely to state the situa- ton ought to be sufficient to e. yoke the remedy.
 We must not permit Over-conf.- dence to prevail :n this matter. The peanut is popular with all classes, It is the nut;est of all the nuts. Nobody can adu.terate 1t. The nerviest Connecticut in- Ventor would not dare to put a wooden peanut on the market Party lines could never be drawn with regard to it, for thel pea nut has warm and devoted friends among the politicians of ali parties. When the life of the Amerlcan gOober is once known to be imperiled, party lines are ob.terated and Democrats. Re- publlcans. POpulists, Prohibition ists and Socialists all are peanut politicians.
 Mr. Roosevelt has only a little over two months to serve as nres ident. but in that time we trust ne will prepare a good strong message on the subject and score foes Of the goober as they de- serve to be scored.
 The most beautiful trait of this wee, modest. succu,ent nut IS It's intense Americanism. It is a nut that grows upon you. The more you eat the more you want to eat, You almost get nutty yourself when you begin eating 1t, Childhood's primal joy, it is old ages last solace.
 A special session of congress is to be called by the new president to revlce the tariff, and we trust he will devote a separate paragraph in his call to the goober. This is one instance where the tariff should be re- Vlsed upward. We do not say this because the peanut IS a pro- duct Of the Sunny South. The war is over. and we are reunit- ed people. We champion the cause of the goober not because of geo. graphical considerations, but for its own sweet sake.
 We permit ourselves the priv Lcge of expressing the fond hope that those Kansas and Missouri preachers, who on Thanksgiv!ng petitioned the thrown of heaven ly grace to so guide the heart of congress as to put a duty on zinc ore, will enlist also in the cause of the peanut and set aside a special day Of prayer for it's further protection by the con- gress of the United States
