THE WHISKY PIMP.
[The Denison Review.l


The ineancst man in the community
is the man who furnishes whisky to
one who. on account Of his known ha-
Ritual drunkenness, can not obtain
liquor for himself. There are extenu-
ating circumstances about many
crimes. Some are committed at mo-
ments of passion and great excitement.
some are the result OF overwhelming
temptation. but the miserable, low
! lived sneak who buys whisky for or
! gives whisky TO the confirmed drunk
ard has no such excuse to offer.
The man who has been prescribed
at the bar is seldom in such affluent
| oircunl stances that he can offer a
| tempting bride. The cur who helps his
! friend" on the path to utter destruc-
| ton probably does il for miserable
! trifie, but for this trifle he is willing
to cater to an appetite which has al
ready caused the victim and his family
untold grief and poverty and shame.
! We have a great deal Of pity for the
victim OF the alcohol habit. We realize
/ that man is creature Of habit and
/ that sometimes these habits get be-
| yond the control Of will. We feel also
that such man Is tc an extent the
victim Of society. Every sane man
knows that whisky, brandy, gin ana
other liquors containing high per cent
| OF alcohol are dangerous poisonous and
| habit producing drugs. There IL no
more Justification for the indiscrimi-
nate sale of whisky than there liz for
the indiscriminate sale Of opium. So
long as society permits such sales 1t
must share in the responsibility for the
wreckage. the wrecked manhood, the
shame faced children, the unhonore1
drunkard's graves. Society can not get
AWAY from this responsibility so long
as 1t permits these dangerous drugs to
be sold to irresponsible people and to
be tossed OFF as beverages across the
public bar.
No man can safely drink whisky ex-
lcept as directed by physician. Every
imam knows this, but society permits
It, only stepping In when some mar
! has been overcome by the effects OF thu
terrible habit. Society does then try &c
protect him, and II Is at this time thai
the whisky pimp comes to the fore.
It is said that there are q number o.
lsuch rrocurefs In Denison. There mus
! be, for we know that men who can no,
. lobtain at any bar are able to buy Il
freely thru some agency. We believ,
the saloon men Of Denison are trying
, to live up to the law. We do not be.

told the writer about x Y z college.

and always have number Of gentle

go away to college. these things that

almost as disreputable, at XYZ" or
course this scribe as in duty bound
sympathized deeply with this 1s-yeAr-
old young lady. but then occurred to
him, perhaps the parents Of many girls
and young women attending * Y
purposely sent them there because "the
rules were so strict And then came
another think" Very few parents in
Iowa find it necessary to send their
girls to convent schools where "the
rules are so strict" In fact the corr
vent school is not reformatory. It's
the kind of education and finish" a
convent school gives to young woman,
that causes many protestant parents
to send their children to Catholic
school. Very much like peaceful cit

school. with no idea his boy will ever
get into the army. So when this young
j, lady reads these few words"-as per
asreement-she is welcome to all the
comfort there is in them.
Every year brings out a larger
Christmas trade for the big towns and
less for the small 'burgs. The writer
is IL a position to notice it. On some
of the passenger trains leaving the
larger towns from 5 to : o'clock in the
evening it's almost impossible to Get a
seat. The women and children have to
come in to the smoker to find a place
to sit down ard rest, and they are tired
ones as their features and converse :
ton shows. But the car is almost emp
tied at the first or second stopping
place, only to be filed liam up When
We come into the next county seat SO
big thing is this shopping business,
passenger trains are almost without ex-
ception from half TO two hours late on
every railroad lnie. this referring to
every day the week before Christmas.
And every one of these shoppers,
whether they do or not. figure they save
car fare by going to Nextown to trade.

The political friends OF Prof. P. G..
Holden got together at the Slavery in
Des Moines the other day and applied
a careful test to his gubernatorial can
didacy. 1t was found to sprout readily
IN response to heat and moisture. The
boys are in favor of planting it. in the
expectation that it will .ield bumper
crop OF votes at the June prim ary.
The professor has no, vet formally
consented, but so far as his friends

The Lawless American.
New York Tribune. ]

1t is pity that Senator Borah had
not read the inaugural address Of the
new mayor of Charleston, s. c., when
he expressed himself the other night In
this city on the subject OF American
lawlessness. That worthy's ideas OF his
responsibility as e public official sworn
to execute the laws would have fur
nished another piquant illustration or
the notion prevalent among the guar
dams as well as among the disturbers
Of order that there Is no moral COM
pulsion on any one to respect or en-
force q law which ne does not person

Of blind tigers" has become a habit
Of the people, Charleston has never
taken kindly to the dispensary or local
prohibition laws of South Carolina. and
the local liquor dealers have never had
any difficulty In keeping their places
open, even in spite Of the former state
6ispensary police. The mayor and the
city are now SO accustomed to the IL
licit saloons that they look upon them
rs venerable and deserving local insti-
tutions. to interfere with which
would upset ancient usages and ac-
quired rights. Perish the thought that
any one in Charleston should take the
prohibitions against the unlicensed sale
Of liquor too seriously! That would be

C~oolhaas, ffty-four years old, blew
out his brains on his farm at Machip-

II o'clock Saturday morning, He
went into a field for MONDAY water
and when he did not return within a
short time a search was made by his
wife and daughter. They found the
dead body with a revolver by its
side. Money trouble was given as
the cause.
Coolhaas came to this section eight
months ago from Jersey City, where
he earned considerable money as an
expert machinist. During the past
few months, however, the farm has
not lived up to expectations and sew

been evidently planned.
County Physician Edgar Carroll,

,er comprise the surviving family.
