THE SMOKING PREACHER.

Perhaps this editorial will stir up
another racket. Don't care if it does.
The Fool-Killer is an expression of
my w views and opinions, and if
other people don't agree with me.
that's none of my fault. As old John
Ploughman says, if you find a hoe on
these premises, weed your W gar
den with it. To change the figure, IL
the cap fits, yea it.
My text for this sermon is, THE
Smoking Preacher" and if my re-
marks happen to raise a few blisters
on your beloved pastor, don't come to
me about it-go to him. Next time
you see your smoking preacher COM
ing down the street with his nicotine
stove running at full blast, you go to
him and tell him what The Fool
Killer says. Tell him that smoking
is only one form of sinful dissipation,
same as drinking likker or cussing.
And any preacher who can't subdue
his sinful nature and cut out all such
habits is not fit to be entrusted with
the care of human souls.
| would just as soon have my
preaching done by a respectable
drunkard-one who wants to quit
and can't-as to have it pumped
through the tobacco-scented lips of a
preacher who loves his cigar.
How in the name of Tom Walker
can a poor sinner be expected to re-
form and cut out his pet sins, when
the so-called man of God who stands
up as his righteous pattern and
teacher is not able or willing to prac-
/ ficn what he nrnachaS2
If the preacher has a right to make
a smohe-house of his mouth and Q
chimney of his nose, then his congre-
cation has a perfect right to drink
likker, play cards and cuss-and they
genera lily do it.
Any kind Of smoking-whether
pipe, cigar or cigarettes a degrad-
ing hs bit, a worldly dissipation, and
the m; n who INDUCES in any form OF
it has not got loose from his sins.
His &C tons prove to the world that
he has not been regenerated and is
not fit to preach the gospel.

LIARS AND HYPOCRITES.

If all the liars and hypocrites of
the present day were suddenly jerked
bald-headed and snatched into Eter-
nifty, there wouldn't be enough peO-
pie left on earth to hold an inquest
over a dead dog. David said in his
haste that all men were liars, and
when he had time to think it over he
found that he had hit the bulIs-eye.
Jesus Christ was honest, and he
was not a ~hypocrite, and you know
what the world did to Him. Well, It
would do the same thing to-day to
any man who might attempt to live
as Christ lived. We have whole cow
pastures full of men and women who
call themselves Christians and who
claim to be following in the footsteps
OF Christ. But let me tell you-if
Christ should come back to earth just
?g tf2 used to be, these hypocritical
followers of His would be the first
to yell, Cruelty HIM" They will
get up in prayer meeting and tell
how they love the Lord, and how they
are looking and longing for Him to
come, and If the Lord should sudden
ly make His appearance in the heav-
ems, in power and great glory, it
would scare the last one of them to
death.
Whenever these hypocritical high
myers of the gold-plated church of
Mammon get to wanting the Lord to
come as bad as they pretend to, they
Will quit kangarooing around over
the community telling lies on their
nelghbors and making fun of their
b~etters.
L believe in a man protesting re-
llgion, and then living what he pro-
fesses. A religion that won't keeI
a fellow out of devilment in this

THE LASH MAN ON A SPREE.

THE LASH NAN ON A SPREE.
L. B. Laws, he prints The Lash,
And makes it awful sassy;
He tears his English all to smash,
And sometimes he talks Massey.
He takes delight in singing slang
At this great family journal;
And though he can't write worth a
dang
His yawping is eternal.
But let me tell you one on him,
As true as any Bible;
If he don't like it, then, by GIN,
Just let him sue for libel.
Into a clothing store one day
The Lash's daddy entered; 1
And on a dummy, by the way,
Was his attention centered.
He thought it was a lady's back
On which his optics rested;
But it was just a wooden rack
With human shape invested.
They have 'em in the clothing stores
To show their stylish dressing,
With all the ruf1es, tucks and cores,
Such loneliness expressing.
Now L. B. Laws this vision spied,
And he was sorely smitten;
He straightway hurried to it's side,
AS loving as a kitten.
He spake and said, Dear Miss, I hope
You'll be my little fairy;
1 love you; therefore let's elope-
Let's run away and marry
The dummy gave n frightened look,
And tried to say, "You trollop!"
And then with awful fear it shook,
And backwards fell kerwhollop.
Laws didn't like the looks of that
1t seemed SO awful tragic;
And so he grabbed off his old hat
And got away like magic.
He grinned and said, 1T amt no fool
I really didn't mind it,"
Then went and bought a kicking mule
And stood himself behind it.

PETER POORDEyIL's PRAYER.

Peter Poordevil went to church last
Sunday. The preachers text was,
Out of the abundance of the heart
The mouth s%peaketh.' AS soon ais the
sermon was over, Peter Poordevil
rose up and said: LET US pray"
When people are in church, the mo-
ton to pray is a privileged motion
and is mot subject to debate. So
there was nothing to do but listen,
and Peter prayed as follows:
20 Lord, I've got to pray or bust.
| know the people here don't want to
hear me pray, but / can't help it. The
preachers text has taken the muzzle.
off of my mouth. o Lord, I'm getting
awful uneasy about this here earth
of yours. Lord, / amt right certain
It's yours. That's what's a~-bothering
OF me | want to know if you still
own any property here, and if so,
I where is it? / want to know if you
ever come here on a visit any more?
They told me you was here and help
ed to run the prOtracted meeting last
winter and did SIGH a grand and glo-
rious work. But, o Lord, that work
has all gone to pieces, and I'm afraid
it wasn't yours. What / want to
know is. do you guarantee your work
not to rip, ravel or run down at the
heel? If so, / know you wasn't here
Hast winter. Sallie Perkins has done
travelled, Bill Jones is a-running down
at the heel, and a whole lots Of others
is a-rippin'.
o Lord, | just want to tell you this
because / know they are imposing on
you in these here diggins. It makes
me mad to see it. II there is any real
old-fashioned, blue-jeans Christianity
around here they never put it out
where a Teller can see it. O Lord,
amt that kind of Christianity gittin'
mighty scarce, and what are you go
ing to do about it?
O Lord, if these people about here
have got any religion, it has got SO
many fiounces and ruf1es, ribbons,
tucks and cores, that you wouldn'
know it yourself If you should meet
it in the road.
O Lord, one thing more and I'll
quit. | want to know if it is Christ
like to make fun of people because
they are poor and can't dress fine?
Is it Christ-like to back-bite and run
down folks in their absence and then
try to eat 'em up when you meet EN-
You never done that when you was
here on earth. did you? Which is
right, to go with the crowd or to be
on the Lords side?
Lord, you needn't answer this pub
licly here today, as it might break uI
the meeting, but if you feel like an
sWering it in some way, | wish you
would. Amen"

And now listen here if you please!
They do say that the doctors are
curing natural born thieves by oper-
ating on them. They cut open the
skull, end then the stealing bump
on the brain is whacked off, and
presto!-the thief is an honest man.
If they were to try that remedy on
some of our big trust magnates and
political grafters, doggoned if they
wouldn't have to cut their blamed
heads off.
The fool-killer., 1911-11-01
world will be a poor dependence in

world will be a poor dependence in
the world to come.
People these days get religion
and join the church because it is
fashionable to do SO, and they are
profaning the holy name of Christ
every time they do it. The man who
joins the church with no other mo-
tive and for no other reason than to
be in fashion would just as freely
steal a horse if horse-stealing were
in fashion. Such a man knows no
more about the saving grace of
genuine Christianity than a blind hog
knows about heaven.
When the final shake-up comes,
and the sheep are parted from the
goats I'm afraid lots of church letters
will have to be used as through tick
cts to hell.
Whoa, there, you old sanctiied
gossip-wagon and prayer-meeting
sinner! You had better pin up your
robe of profession with the pins OF
practice. If you don't do it you
will appear naked at that Great Day.

The one-ga1lus hill-billy who sells

that's no lie.

MERGE COURT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA victory
was won by the Lemon growers OF
California today, over foreign COM
petitors. and the railroads when the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
affirmed Its previous order. upset by
the new Commerce Court, reducing
freight rates on lemons from Califor-
MIA to all other points In the United
States from $l.l5 per hundred pounds
to 81.
The fight over lemon rates has been
on since 1902. and originally involved
the question OF competition with
Sicily. 1t has been bitterly fought
and became one OF the first causes,
of conflict between the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the new
Commerce Court.
When the commission originally or
.dered the reduction. its order was
stopped by the Commerce Court. which
held the commission had no right
to take into consideration tho ques-
ton OF foreign competition and re-
manded the case for rehearing.
The decision given today holds the
rate OF si,1b unreasonable and unjust
irrespective OF tho question Of COM
petition. and orders the carriers to
make effective the lower rate on Feb
ruary Is.
