RICHMOND'S ARGUMENT AGAINST
the SALOON
Mo- Redeeming Feature.
BY Ex-Mayor Woods


"The American saloon has not a
single redeeming feature" says Henry
Watterson, whiskey's chief apostle.
Then in the name of High Heaven,
why should any community have sa-
looms, and in the light of our expert
fence in Richmond, why should we al
low saloons to return? l have been
called a crank" because hate a
saloon like the Devil does Holy Water
The very creatures who compliment
me thus have stained the court records
of Kentucky with all the crimes from
gambling to murder, have been the in
struments of tearing down instead
of building up society, the city or the
state, and yet they have their weight
in shaping the destiny of our govern
ment, though they can point to moth
ing in their careers that adds lustre
to their reputation as citizens.
Who Petitioners Are.
Fifty per cent. of the saloon vote Of
Richmond. judged by the names on
their recent petition to vote back sa-
looms. have been in our Jail or peni-
Tertiary. 1 challenge contradiction Of

Over twenty-five per cent. of these
petitioners could not read nor write.
challenge contradiction. The petit
ton itself proves it.
Over twenty-five per cent. of the pc
titioners pay no taxes, not even the
tax to VOTE, their poll tax. The
records prove. Half of the 400 pc
titioners were negroes-to the shame
of their better element. And what is
equally astounding, ALL the petition
ers combined, 400 in number, COM
rrising SO per cent. of the voting
population of Richmond, do not pay
ten per cent. of the taxes of the city.
Lcounty or state. Let that soak in,
taxpayers. have had TO contend
With such secret enemies of good
government and have earned their
distinguished hatred, their secret OPP
position and the complimentary title
of "crank." l wish now, publicly,
to say that IL the shoe am here
making pinches their feet they must
wear 1t.
Three Years VS.. Twenty.
1t is a damnable outrage against
the helpless minors of the city
, to have the criminal, illiterate, non
taxpaying element of our population
override the standing up, clean and
hardworking element by voting back
saloons here next March IL. 1t Will
never come to PAST God will not
punish a city for doing its duty.

CHAPTER VIII.

CHAPTER VIII
Tom Gordon-rhomas jefferson now
only In his mothers letters-was past
Is, and his voice was in the transition
stage which made him blushlngly self
conscious when he ran up the window
shade In the Pullman to watch for the
earliest morning outlining Of old Leb-
anon on the southern horizon.
Homesicllness returned with renewed
qualms when the train had doubled the
nose Of Lebanon and threaded its way
among the hills to the Paradise por-
tai Gordonia, OF the single slde-track,
had grown into a small iron town, with
the Chiawassee plant nanking q good
half-mile of the railway; with Gin
derry street or two, and a scummy wave
Of operatives cottages and laborers'
shacks spreading up the hillsides which
were stripped bare of their trees and
underground.
Toms eyes filled, and he was Won
dering family IL the dosolating tide of
progress had topped the hills 10 pour
over into the home valley beyond, when
his father accosted him. There was a
little shock at the sight Of the grizzlod
hair and beard turned so much grayer;
but the welcoming was like a grateful
draft of cool water in a parched wilder
ness.
Wei, now then! How are ye, Bud
dy boy? Great land o. Canaan! but
you've shot up and thickened out
nightly In two years, SON."
Tom was painfully conscious Of his
size. Also of the fact that he was
clumsily in his own way particularly
rs to hands and feet. The sectarian
school dwelt lightly on athletics and
such purely mundane trivialities as
physical fitness and the harmonious
education of the growing body and
limbs.
Yes; I'm so big it makes me right
tired" he said, graveIy, and his voice
cracked provokingly in the middle Of
It, Then he asked about his mother.
She's tolerable-ouly tolorable, Bud
dy. She allows she don't have enough
to keep her dom in the new" Ca
leb pulled himself up abruptly and
changed the subject with ponderous
attempt at levity "What-all have you
done with your trunk check, son? Now
I'll bet a hen worth fifty dollars ye've
gone and lost it,"
But Tom had not; and when the lug
gage was found there was another IN
uovation to buffet him. The old buggy
with its high seat had vanished, and
in its room there was a modern surrey
and a negro driver. Tom looked ask
ance at the new equipage.
Cant we make out to walk, pappy?"
he asked drODniUg uupOUgriOuSly into
the child-time phrase.
"Oh, yes; 1 reckon we could. You're
not too young, ana I'm not so terr'ale
old. But-get in, Buddy. get in; thereU
be trampin' enough for ye, all summer
long"

A writer who was very intimate with
Frank R. Stockton says that when the
Stockton family lived in Bucks coun'
ty, Pa, Frank and his brother had a
dog which they trained solely to hunt
eats. The brothers were overhauled
one day by a farmer whose cat they
we're chasing. To placate the farmer
they gave him a dollar for a pig,
which they took home. BY driving
away their fathers pigs at feeding
time they soon made their own the
fattest pig in the pen and sold him at
a profit Of $500. Frank R, Stockton
always considered the deal a tribute
10 his business acumen.

Cardinal Kohn certainly sounds
odd. Still, 1t may be reserved to the
twentieth century to bring us such a
novelty" say the American Israelite.
CDR Theodore Kohn, son of full
blooded Jew, was in 1898 elected arch
bishop of the Austrian diocese Of Oh
muetz, one of the most prominent epis-
copal sees Of Christendom, which had
occasionally been occupied by mem
bers of the imperial family, and which
for three hundred years had been re-
served to members of the highest aris-
tocracy. In 1904 charges were filed
against him in Rome, and, while the
material was not sufficient to try him
for malfeasance, Plus X induced him
to resign. The stipulations Of this
compromise were never made public,
but 1t was understood that he would
be given a cardinalate. There seems,
however, to be a hitch somewhere, but
the archbishop insists on the fulfil
ment Of the promises made to him"
