UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

Well, your Uncle Tom wrote Uncle
Sans naval boys and told them about
our sweet pretty girls and a young
Baptist preacher from Sequachee Val
ley, said, "Uncle Tom, you can't beat
our valley girls for good looks. " Now,
I'm not going to raise racket with a
young preacher about the valley girls
at all, but want him to understand
brainy young men wanting wives
come to Tracy City for them. Now,
maybe you think I can't prove it.
This young preacher refer to notice
sorter hangs around one of Tracy
City's fair daughters like sick kitten
to hot brick. So I guess he's be-
coming convinced that l am sorter
truthful and pretty good judge.
know an ex-Confederat soldier
down at Sewanee, who is a widower
and he thinks he is only about 35 years
old, and would you believe it, he went
to the reunion at Mobile to cut a dash
among the girls. Yes, and had the
impudence to tell me the other day
down at the Daughters Reception at
Sewanee, he wasn't much over 16.
NY my what an influence pretty
woman can have over fool man. l
told a young widow down at Mont
eagle how Tom was cavorting around,
and asked her how she would like an
introduction to him at the Confederate
entertainment in July. Her face
turned red and she lowed mighty
we'll. Now, l said man was a fool
about woman and so is the woman
about man, but the women won t
own up. saw girl the other day
buying a nice set of table ware, and I
said to her: ''Why, l didn't know you
were fixing to keep house." Her face
turned scarlet, yet she denied of being
guilty Why can't or don't woman
tell the truth about such things. Not
one in hundred will own up. l hate
to accuse them of lying, but that is
one thing they will do, lie to the last.
Woman is an enigma and no man
understands them. Today three or
four girls were lounging in the sun in
a nice grassy yard, and rode up and
began conversation with them, and
pretty soon the boy question came up,
or rather they asked me if I had any
good boys out my way l straighten-
ed up in my saddle in rather pomp-
GUS way, and said, Eyes, as good as
anywhere. Now, l don't like for
girls to be too pinted about asking
questions about boys out my way, for
Charlie is mine and mas baby, and
those girls had an eye to that, for one
sorter looked kinder impudent, as
much as to say, "Old fellow, I'll give
you trouble. - | didn't insist ON Wis

looking for some photos soon and when
l get them, I'll certainly let you see
them. UNCLE TOM.

SOME THOUGHTS FOR CONSIDERATION
DID WE GO TOO FAST?
SILENA M. HOLMAN

At the last, every state must inevita-
bly, come to the point where the power
invested in the people of the entire
state must be used to drive the traffic
from these last strongholds.
A MISTAKE
One error is continually going the
rounds in Tennessee. 1t is repeated in
the local option papers day after
day, and liquor politicians, among the
Democrats, talk it from every stump
in the state. They say that minori-
ty of the Democratic members of the
last legislature lined up with the Re-
publicans to secure the passage of the
law, and claim that this shows that a
majority of the Democratic party, the
dominant party in Tennessee, is oppos-
ed to our state wide law.
To one who has never been a parts
an, it would seem sufficient if a ma
jority of all the people wanted the
law, whatever the party they affiliated
with. But, by referring to the re-
cords, you will sac that majority of
the Democrats in each House of the
legislature, voted for the passage of
the law.
The truth is, majority of the Dem
ocrats in each House lined up with a
majority of the Republicans of each
House, to secure the passage of the
law, while a minority of the Demo
Gratis in each House lined up with a
minority of the Republicans of each
House to prevent the passage of the
law. Can any expert in ethics tell us
why the "lining up'' in the one case
was so much worse than the Ginning
up" in the other? ..H
OTHER QUESTIONS
Just now, in the politics of Ten
nessee, other questions seem to be forg-
ing to the front for early settlement.
Prohibitionists recognize the import
ance of these other questions, and are
anxious that they be settled right. We
only ask that in settling them. you
will not forget this one, so near the
hearts of the best people of Tennessee.
That you will resolve in your heart of
hearts that the prohibition laws shall
remain untouched on the statute books
of our state.
want to add that there is nothing
the prohibitionists want more than
they want to get the prohibition ques-
tion "out of politics. We want to
feel that it is settled, and will rejoice
when the question is no longer banded
like football from stump to stump in
Tennessee politics.

Didn't you people go too fast, Mrs,
Holman, in your fight for state wide
prohibitionP Would not 1t have been
better to wait little longer before
making a fight for state wide lawr'
askea someone of me one day.
I replied that we did not go too
fast. The fight against the liquor
traffic was no new thing in Tennes-
see. Our Four Mile Law was
growth of more than forty years. 1t
began by the passing of number OF
laws through the first Legislature that
met in the state after the close OF the
civil war, forbidding the sale OF liquor
within two or three miles of various
school houses, scattered here and there
over the state. Similar laws were en-
acted in succeeding legislatures. Then
a general--law the parent of our present
Four mile Law was passed IN 1877.
From time to time thelaw was extend
ed to take in more territory until the
saloon had been driven from the entire
state, except three cities, and one
small mining town. The movement
to stop the traffic in these last four
places was but the outgrowth OF the
agitation that had been going on In
the state for more than forty years.
Surely our people ought to have been
ready for the final answer to ques-
tion that had been before them for
forty years, especially when it had al
ready been settled in the entire state
except in the four places mentioned.
The only wonder is that the people did
not push for state wide prohibition
years before they did.
No state ever waited until so nearly
free from the liquor traffic before tax
ing up the fight for state wide prohlb-
ition, as did Tennessee, Georgia had
thirty four entire wet counties when
they began their fight for state wide
law and won. Alabama, Mississippi
and North Carolina each had many
entire wet counties when they began
their fight for a state wide law, and
won. Tennessee did not take up the
fight until the saloon was driven from
all but three cities and one small min
ing town. Judging from the action in
other states, we certainly, did not
move too fast in our state.
No state ever secured state wide
prohibition by voting it out of one
,,1ooa of q time No state will ever
do so. Always, the liquor men will
establish themselves in some last
stronghold, where it will be impossi-
BILE to dislodge them by local vote.

bate at Gamblers Trial.
Special to The Herald Republioan.

ogden. Aug. 23.-With Mayor William
Glasmann and the Rev. Noble Strong
Elderkin as principal witnesses. the
trial OF the first OF the gambling cases
resulting from the big raid of two
weeks ago, opened in police court this
morning. Eager spectators crowded
the court room 10 the doors and spilled
over into the corridors or the city jail.
The defendants in the case now being
tried are j. @. Watt, John Doe Johnson
and Richard Tyree, alleged TO be con-
nected with the Turf gambling house.
Mayor Glasmann and the Rev. Mr..
EldeTkin who has, time and again, bit
terly attacked the chief executive re-
garding the gambling question in
ogden, kept up a continual cross fire.
Mayor Glasmann prOfessed Ignorance
of the various gambling devices, nut
upon being pressed admitted having
learned what faro bank was some
forty years ago in Montana. The Rev,
Mr.. Elderkin was more intimate with
such things and exhibited a surprising
knowledge OF gambling house terms.
Efforts OF the defense 70 show that the
minister had actually operated gamb-
ling house many years ago in New
Mexico were calmly answered by him.
He told of having been in Mexico in
1901 recovering his health and there
became acquainted with gambling as
practiced in the wide-open towns or
the southwest. When the defense
asked how the witness knew that GER
tain money he had seen placed on a card
at the faro bank was really being bet,
the witness replied that IL was very
probable that the money was being
given TO the dealer as a present. The
witness was dismissed with nothing
gained by the defense
Aside from the mayor and Rev. Mr..
Elderkin other members of the better
ment league who participated in the
gambling raid were placed on the
stand. These were II. L. Griffin and
Heber ScOWcrOft. Both cOrrObOraIed
the testimony OF the Rev. Mr.. Elderkin.
The case progressed but little and was
continued at noon until tomorrow
morning. The defense is fighting every
inch OF ground and from present pros
poets the case will drag for many days

Brigham City, Aug. 23.-The residents
Of the southeastern portion OF town
were greatly astonished early this
morning by the appearance in their
orchards of two bears. This is not
bear country, and bears have never
before been seen within twelve miles
of the city. but last night an old bear
and a cub actually ventured down into
the city.
Last evening as Christ Hoist went
out to attend TO some irrigating. he
encountered a bear, that shifted and
ran. Later on in the evening the bear
and cub entered the orchard of Joseph
MOrtensen, a hardware dealer in this
city. Mr. MOrtensen. thinking stray
cows had got into the orchard, hur-
ried 10 round them up. He was greatly
surprised TO run right into a bear and
cub. Having no gun in the house, Mr..
Mortensen telephoned the police, who
arrived armed only with pistols. They
succeeded in WOunding the bear. but
not very seriously Early in the morn
ing the two bears followed a little boy
who was driving a horse and buggy
Later the bear was met by Henry Tin
gey and a rifle. and the result was that
| bruins visit to Brigham was abruptly
ended. The bear measured about six
feet as it lay on the ground. At a late
hour today the cub was still at large
but, of course, is being hunted.
