The y h.skey Quesu.n.

represent those who use liquor.
Many wsll-meaaing mea~haye been

personal liberty"
It Is time the phrase personal
liberty were defined.
what ls meant BY personal lib

Does 1t mean that a person mas a
right to drink in any quantity, at
any time. and In any place. no mat
ter what injury he may infict upoI
others? II not. with whom rests
the right to AZ limitations?
A drunken man Is menace to
the lives and property OF those about
him: have ehise ueighbors no~right
to protect themselves?
= A drunkard robs his wife and chill
dren. and he may finally make his
family and himself charge upon
society; has society no right to pro-
tect itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to the
brothel and the gambling hall; 1t Is
a rendezvous for the criminal ele-
ment and the willing tool Of the
corrupt politician; has not the body
polite right to protect itself from
the decentralization which the saloon
works?
The right to drink does not ne
cessarily include the right to de-
mand the establishment of a saloon.
The right to drink is sufficiently
protected by any arrangement that
permits the reasonable use of liquor
under reasonable conditions; and 1t
must be remembered that the right
to drink, like any other right, can
be forfeited. Nothing is more sa-
cred than the right to life, and yet
one may forfeit his right to life If
he uses it In such way as to threat
en- the life of another. So, the man
who drinks to excess may forfeit
the right to drink; even the moder-
ate drinker may forfeit the right to
drink in moderation If, not content
with reasonable regulation, he IN
sists that liquor shall be sold under
conditions that constitute a menace
to the home and the State.
The man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with those
who seek to reduce the evils Of drink
to the lowest possible point, instead
of allying himself with those who
ignore the evils Of intemperance and
resist every effort put forth for the
protection of society.

WORRIES OF SCHOOL TEACHERS
Two Unique Notes From Parents
About Their BoYs.

Two Unique Notes FROM Parents
About Their Boys.
Every mother who has a boy at
school is naturally interested in both
the progress he makes in his studies
and In the manner in which he is
treated by his teacher.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain-Dealer
gives an illustration of the latter
part Of the above proposition by the
publication of note written to a
public school teacher of that city
who had charge Of the mental de-
velopment of her hopeful. in which
the lady expressed herself in the fol-
lowing words Of complaint and ug-
gestion.
Pardon me for calling your at
tention to the fact that you have
pulled Johnie's right ear until it Is
getting longer than the other. Please
pull the left ear for while and
oblige his mother"
The Charlotte Observer says
unique as Is this letter, 1t can be
capped by one received by lady OF
Wilmilgton-a teacher in the pub
lie schools Of ta!: city-from the
mother Of one Of the boys in her
department That boy owned goat
and was in the habit OF devoting
much Of his time out of school hours
in playing with the animal, his chief
amusement being to take goat
back ride every morning before
school. which fact was forcibly i'm
pressed on the teacher and members
of his class through their olfactory
nerves on his entrance into the school,
room. The teacher wrote note tc
the mother Of the boy. requesting
that he be required to change hi!
breeches after riding the goat be-
fore coming to school. In reply the
boys moth her sent the following note
to the teacher. which, we under
stand. is filed among the "archive!
of gravity" in New Hanover county
"Dear a'am-Johnny amt go
J but one pair Of pants, and besides
he amt no rose anyway and beside!
that Johnny is sent to school to b.
learned not smelt."
Here was shown the independence
OF the American who paid taxes t
keep UP the public schools and who
therefore. was above any and al
petty school regulations.

After
La Grippe !

II had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was heavy weight
on the top Of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
| dozed off would awake with
a sudden jerking OF my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number Of
friends have since realized the
same benefits"

The after effects Of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

begun in a personal controversy.
When Mr.. Taft was Secretary Of War
he took offense at a remark made by
Reveridge in the Senate one day
while Mr.. Taft was visiting there and
enjoying the privileges of the floor as
Cabinet officer. He was Sitting be-
hind Beverage talking to senator
while Beveridge was trying to make
speech. Beveridge turned and gent
~ reprimanded the Secretary of War
on account of the interruption and
Mr.. Taft left the floor Immediately,
his face red with anger. Beveridge's
action In the tariff matter served to
accentuate the difference of opinion.
Some of the senators and repre-
sentatives resent the speech which
President Taft made on Saturday to
the Census Supervisors from num-
Der of states, who called on him in
a body. The President warned these
officers that they were not to play
do the bidding in politics of senators
and representatives. In view of the
fact that Hitchcock, the political boss
Of the administration, dictated the
appointments and ignored the recon-
mendations of senators and repre-
sentatives, the Presidents warning
Is regarded by senators and repre-
sentatives as an unnecessary re-
Election on them. They say that 1t
comes with poor grace from the Pres
ident, whose brother employed Hitch
cock to nominate Mr.. Taft and paid
him a specific sum of money to-
gether with a promise of a place in
the Cabinet, to suggest that politics
may enter into the Census enum-
Grafton, through the initiative of
senators and representatives. Hitch
cock organized the postal service as
a great political machine and dangled
it before the eyes OF Charles p Taft
in order to secure the Presidents
wealthy brother a contract to manage
the campaign. And there is abundant
evidence that the postal service was
used then and has been used con-
stantly since, as a great political ma
chine, by Mr.. Hitchcock. Some of the
senators and representative feel so
much resentment over the Presidents
gratuitous fling at them in the Gen.
SUE matter, that they are talking of
introducing a resolution to investi-
gate the political activities of Hitch
cock and their relation to the postal
service, before Mr.. Taft's nomination
and since his inauguration.

Sterilizing Water Supply.

For sterilizing city's water supply
the novel plan is proposed of using
powerful mercury-vapor lamps with
quartz tubes, which should be so
placed that every particle of water
should remain two minutes within
few inches of lamp. The large pro-
portion of ultraviolet rays was shown
in 1906 to have great germ-destroying
properties. Recently Courmont and
Nogier have proven that most disease
bacteria in water within IL inches Of
a lamp are destroyed in one minute,
and that much contaminated water Is
completely sterilized in two minutes
