Good for the Apple.

"The use of apples as an article
of diet will very much diminish,
decrease, and ultimately abate
the appetite for alcoholic stimu-
lants," declares DR.. Samuel Bail
ep, of Mount Ayr, Iowa.
AS a rule the hibituaI user of
alcoholic stimulants is rarely a
lover or consumer of apples.
There seems to be a peculiar pro-
perty in apples that allays the
irritation or so-called appetite,
produced by the use of liquor. |
am thoroughly convinced" says
the doctor, that any man who
is lover of whiskey and is in a
coalition that ne thinks he must
have a drink, if he will eat an
apple before he takes the drink,
will find that his appetite for the
drink has been materially lessen
ed. if not entirely abated for the
time" The doctor suggests that
honest trials be made of MUNICH
ing on Ben Davis, Spitzenberd or
Jonathan apples.
The advice is doubtless good so
far as Spitzenberg and Jonathan
apples are concerned, but we be-
lieve that even total abstainer
would be driven to drink if he
made regular practice of eat
ing Ben Davis.

Death of Mrs. Williams.

The death angel visited the
home of Mr.. Burlie Williams Sat-
urday July End, 1910, and claimed
for its victim, Mrs Laura Will
liams. She was a devoted wife
and mother.
Consumption was the cause of
her death. She had been linger-
ing along for some time. A few
days before she died she called
her husband to her bedside and
told him that she would soon be
gore from him and that he would
see her no more on this earth,
but that she had a home over
yonder when she left here.
She called all her children to
her bedside and talked to them
and had them promise to meet
her over yonder. While talk
ing to one of her boys, Russell,
he became almost lifeless and
was carried out. He said he
could not bear the pain of giving
up his mother, but that is a pre-

Gen. P. Watt Hardin.


the Eleventh Congressional Dis.
trict, where Caleb Powers anc
Representative d. G.. Edwards
are now fighting it out for the
Republican nomination for Con.
gress. The primary is not going
to be held until the middle OF
September, but already both can
didates are making precinct
canvass of the entire 10 coun-
ties. Men whose judgment in
reference to political matters is
usually good say that it is almost
an impossibility to predict the
results at this time. They say
that one week the people of the
mountains are convinced that
Edwards will be a winner and
the next week along comes a
tidal wave of sentiment for Pow
ers, which for the time being
makes him appear to be a GER
tain winner. At this time, how
ever, it appears that the country
folks in the mountains are for
Powers, while the town voters
and county seat politicians are
lined up for Edwards. Over two
months of campaigning is ahead.
In the meantime both the can
didates will try to visit practi-
cally every precinct in the whole
mountain country, and in that
time changes are apt to come
and go so rapidly that it will be
hard for anyone to forecast the
result. There are many, how
ever, who are confident that
Powers will land the prize. While
this struggle is going on within
the Republican ranks there are
many Democrats who would like
to see Gen. P. Watt Hardin, of
Williamsburg, nominated for
Congress on the Democratic tick
ct. 1t will be recalled that Gen
eral Hardin was candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor in 1899 when William
Goebel was nominated in the
celebrated Music Hall conven-
ton. After his defeat for the
nomination General Hardin re-
tired without a murmur to the
mountains, where he has since
lived quietly. He enjoys a good
law practice and has hundreds
of friends. His defeat never
saddened h m nor embittered
him. 1t is understood that he
has no political ambitions, but
many of his Democratic friends
want him to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress
in the Eleventh District. Pow
ers' history is familiar to all, but
it would be peculiar coincidence
indeed if Powers and General
Hardin, after all these years,
should be political opponents, in
asmuch as Powers was the man
held a prisoner for so long, ac-
cused of completely in the MUIR
der Of the man who defeated
Hardin f or the gubernatorial
nomination after t h latter
thought he he had the prize in
his grasp. And it would be very
much stranger if General Hardin
as the Democratic nominee for
Congress in the Eleventh Dis
trict, should be sent to the Ma
tional House of Representatives
by the vote of a district that has

The headquarters of the Anti
Saloon League gives it out that two
years hence the question of statewide
prohibition will be the issue. As it
requires the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment to get the ques-
tion before the people we do not see
how the managers OF the League can
speak positively as yet as to the matter
being an issue before the people.
There is no doubt that the statewide
prohibition would have secured a
greater vote than county option secur-
ed on the Sth inst, but it seems to us
the League is coming before the
people with its questions little too
often. There is such thing as wear.
ing out even a good thing. Statewide
prohibition, if submitted at the next
election, is doomed to defeat in ad
vance. The friends of that movement
will do we'll to mix little Judgment
with their enthusiasm and work up
an organization and public sentiment
before having the question submitted.

JUST at present the standpatteTs
are taking slap at Roosevelt by say
ing that wherever he touched the
campaign directly, victory went to
the other side. This is quite largely
true. and to the unthinking makes a
great hit against Roosevelt. But the
truth is that wherever Roosevelt
touched the campaign directly it was
in those sections where the hardest
fights were on, and where democratic
victory was almost a certainty before
Roosevelt returned from Africa
Possibly New York is an exception.
In that state the corporations OF
Enonied interests practically control
led, and when the progressive element
secured control of the republican epn-
vention and nominated the ticAet,
the standpatters threw their influence
to the party nominating ticket they
could control. The time was too short
to make a thorough progressive cam
paign in New York where the move.
rnent is only few months old. The
influences that caused democratic
victories in states where Roosevelt
entered the campaign were influences
that resulted from conditions over

THAT man Grafton, superintendent
of the Anti-S Saloon League, in state.
ment given to the public, says those
papers that published the Home Rule
advertising against county option
were bought by the liquor interests.
Grafton tried to graft free advertising
for the Anti-Saloon League, and in
some cases succeeded Where he was
forced to do so, he paid for his adver
tising, and we suppose he considers
that he bought" such papers for
county option. The Independent sold
space to both sides to the controversy,
we treated both sides alike; mer-
chant can buy the same amount of
space at the same prices, but he does
not buy the paper by any means.
There is no reason why newspaper
should give the only commodity it
has to sell any more than farmer
should give his crops or other pro-
duce to such movement, and you
will not find many farmers who are
willing to give 20 to 80 per cent OF
their crops tothe Anti-Saloon League.
even if they do favor county option.
We do not think the farmer who re-
fuses to do that is bought by the liquor

them is putting a premium upon per.
sonal extravaganza. If the govern
ment clerks do not want the positions
at present salaries, let them give up
their jobs and offer their services on
market. Their are plenty ofmen who
would like the positions at the salary
now paid, and who are in every way
as competent. There is no more rea-
son for a pension for government
clerks at government expense than
there is for an old age pension for
every man who is now compelled to
offer his services on competitive
market

1T is given out from Washington
that President Taft will recommend
in his message to congress pension
system for superannuated government
clerks. 1t is to be hoped that the re-
port is untrue but we fear that it is
true. There is no call for such apen
sion system except from those who
would receive direct benefit thereby.
There is no good reason why man
who has drawn a greater salary from
the peoples treasury than his services
would demand on the open market
should be allowed to continue TO draw
from it the balance of his life. Govern
ment clerks receive better salary
for their services than the same ability
is paid in any private business. They
should be compelled to provide for
the future the same as their more un-
fortunate brethren. A persion for
superannuated government clerks is a
graft pure and simple. The assur
ance that such pension is awaiting

THERE is just one way in which the
democrats can handle the tariff situa
tion and turn it to their advantage,
which is by amending the present law
one schedule at time. Such plan,
if opposed by the republicans, would
place the latter on record as opposed
to practical revision of the tariff.
On the other hand, it is probable the
republicans would accept such a
revision, and then it would be an
even break politically. But if the
democrats attempt tariff legislation
in any form, it will probably be by
the old barter and sale plan, and that
will not be popular with the people.
With success comes responsibility,
and the democratic house of repres-
entatives will find that its party will
be held to a strict accounting.

market because the brewer is willing
to pay him price that makes it a
more profitable crop than any other
he can raise. Following his line CT
reason Grafton must think the farmer
who refuses to divide his crops with
the League is bought by the liquor
interests, and to follow it still further
he must hold that the farmer who
raises barley for the market is part
of the brewery trust. Grafton should
change the spelling of his name a
trihe and he makes a poor one at
that.
