JUNGLE SAM"
SHOULD QUIT.
BY George M. Hammell.

Between the United States Govern
nent and the Liquor Traffic, in all OF
its phases, there exists a relation
which is as condemnable as the traf-
&c itself. In fact, the Government is
even more guilty than the traffic
for, while on its coinage it proclaims
Its trust" in God" the liquor traffic
makes no boast Of faith in the AL
mighty It's ground of confidence lies
in its adroit play of Federal govern
ment" against Estate government"
and In its ability to confuse issues be-
tween the commonwealth and the ma
ton.
Despite irrefutable decisions Of the
Supreme Court against the retail
liquor traffic, and in denial of claims
made by manufacturers of intoxicants
in. prohibition States, the Congress
Of the United States and the Chief
Executive persist in colluding with
brewers, distillers and retailers, for
the sole purpose of collecting rev.
enue. All the churches have protest
ed against this persistent collision.
Representatives of the best sentiment
OF the American people have de-
nounced it in the press, and on the
platform. And yet, as stolidly defiant
as the Russian Car, the so-called
"Frederal Government" sends its
agents to Maine, Oklahoma, Alabama,
Georgia, North Dakota, Kansas, North
Carolina, to collect United States tax.
If the Supreme, Court-the organ
lied conscience of the nation-had not
pronounced the traffic the most pro-
life of all sources of crime and mis-
cry, there might be excuse for this col
fusion between government and the
liquor trafic-but neither Congress
nor the Executive can plead ignorance.
They are defiantly guilty OF contempt
Of court-contempt of conscience
and defiant of sentiment, which de-
mands consistent moral attitude on
the part of the National Government.
The liquor question is national ques-
tion-only the articles Of acute politt-
oiars and liquor dealers make it
State" question.
been an argument for liquor tax which
appeals to moral intelligence. Russia,
in collecting tax on opium-and the
United States in collecting tax on In
toxicating liquors have descended to
the black level of mercenry ministers
of superstitution, who take share OF
loot gathered in crusades against the
unbeliever. Stripped Of all fine
phrase, the liquor tax is blood-money,
as John Wesley once said. The Ma
tional Advocate, in its issue for No
vember, expressed the thought in
nutshell when it gave as caption for
the annual report Of our Government
al Report for Internal Revenue on
Liquors to June 80, 1908 ($1S9,966,-

President Fairbanks did but a short
time before. 1t will open his mind
to consider that side of the Roman

his post-campaign utterances would
indicate he had done. The Catholics
were the pea juice then with our

As a religious sect we accord to

Talking comes quite naturally to

opportunity was afforded us to being
thrown into the company of one who

and was 30 eloquent as to enjoy the
title of the silver tongued orator of
the commonwealth which claimed him
for a son. We were astounded and

the man was gone, and he only
made his thoughts known with great
difficulty in halting distressfuI

his failing to use his talent for the

The State of Mississipps hangs her
head in present shame for the dis
graceful revelations that have come
out of the bribery investigations.
We recognized at the outset that
so large a body as 175 men would
have some crooks in it, and a Sen
atorial election in such q legisla-
ture was calculated to draw out
the latent rascality of those so bent,
but we had not thought that SO flag
rant an abuse of the legislative vote
would have been practiced in the old
Magnolia State, but as 1t has evil
dedtly been done, the probe should
be applied, somebody punished, the
skirts ofthe commonwealth cleaned and
a wholesome sentiment created which
will have state-wid sweep against
such INSCRIPTIONS characters going

be the lesson that only men of the

PerniciOus indeed is that doctrine
which some well informed speakers
inculcrte into the minds of budding

successful speech is to depend upon
present inspiration to pointedly meet
the needs of the occasion. For men
whose minds are we'll stored with
knowledge and whose memories are
rich with varied "reminiscences OF
personal experience md observation,
such a method is probably quite all
right, for the preparation was made
at some time back when the study
was undergone and the experiences

vice into practice is but to bore i'm

FRIDAY


Certain considerations are due
from any speaker to that audience
which gives him a courteous and re-
spectful hearing. To come before a
group Of intelligent and patient au
ditors with mere empty moralizlngs
or platitudes is the height of plat
form presumption and discDurtesy,
and were it not for the hurt that it
would do 10 themselves, many a time
such an assembly would hiss down
such q presumer, but the good
training of the hearers asserts itself
and they tolerate for a span of tine
what to them is durance vile.

JENNIE SARAH BYRD.

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs Joe Byrd and took
from them tkeir little grand-daugh-
ter, Jennie Sarah Byrd, aged two
years and, one month. She was born
Feby. 23rd 1903 and died March q,
1910, after an illness of twenty-three
days ofpneumonia of the lungs and
abcess of the head. Bro. MeSenren,
the pastor of the Richton Church,
conducted the funeral service.
Chalmers and Fate Freeman, Char
ley Byrd and William Brewer were
the paIl-bearers. Little Jennie Sa-
rah mother died when she was
only three weeks DID, then she was
taken to the home Of her grand-pal-
Cnts, where she was loved and cher
ished and treated with the tendereSt
care by all the family. She was ii
bright, beautiful child and loved by
all who knew her. 1t was sad TO
give her up, but when God calls one
we have to submit.
Dear friends and relatives know
how impossibleit is TO silence your
grief with words, for | have had the
same trial. The heart pleads for
utterlnce in tears, and let it speak
thus. We bow in sorrow at the
taking of Jennie Sarah, feeling that
while the ripened fruit may be gath
cred, it seems cruel that the bud
should be- taken before it has even an
opportunity to unfold its blossoms;
but in nature fruits fall and so do
blossoms and buds. In the way of
kind nature this. is perhaps best,
although 1t does not seem that way
with us. We know that all the Lord
does is best, we know that. when he
taxes one of orr little ones He gives
1t home of eternal happiness and in
taking from our arms this little one
we will try to accept the cross ana
bear it, believing that the bud will
vet blassom and bear fruit in the
angel land whittier the spirit of little
Jennie Sarah hes Sc early flown.
She was q spirit of light that fit
ted in and out like a CLEAN of sun
shine. No one can fill her place IN
the home, nor can anyone fill her
place in their hearts. 1t will be a
sacred thought in the years to come
to the family that. she shed radience
in the home as long as she did; il
will be a blessed recollection that
she stayed with US two happy years
to love and be loved by those who
will ever so ienderly cherish her
sweet and p2re memory.
She was the baby daughter OF a.
e. Byrd and was loved and petted
by all who knew her.

PANAMA EDITORIAL TRIP.
Letter No. 20.

The thing OF which we were leading
up to speak in our last letter, was
this: the negroes pushing up to the
postoffice window for their mail in
one line, and the whites in another, a
policeman seeing that the racial lines
we're separately maintained. In Tact
the colored folks entered and depart
ed at a separate door from that which
the whites did. What makes this
you query? / believe It was local
public Sentiment. The Canal Com
mission does all it can to make it
pleasant and agreeable to the employ
ces in order to keep them on the Zone.
Probably they tried it the other way
and found the effect hurtful to the
labor problem. If Public Opinion on
this question could be heard by the
Federal Government in the South,
the same thing would be done there
to the better happiness OF both
races.
While in this place (Empire) we
went to the Y. NJ. C. A. building at
the suggec ton of the rather boyish
depot policeman, to rest and while Oft

mated this building, which is quite a
nice one for that climate, to the Y.
NJ. G. A. in order to have its young
men employees have the beneticient
influences that are. supposed to go
out from every such building that that
Christian and humane association
maintains. We were little shocked
in being shown over the building by
the courteous young secretary, who
was typical product of the modern
American college life, to have him
tell US that the Chapelroom which we
we're inspecting had been used the
night before to have Ball in and that
they had lovely time dancing until
the small hours. About that time he
had delivered himself of the state

Alcohol is a poison.
It is claimed by some that alcohol
is food. If so, it is poisoned food.
The daily regular use Of alcohol,
evend in moderation, often leads to
chronic. alcoholism. =" IS
