George II. Earle, Jr.. of Philadelphia,
renewed his attack upon former. Presi.
dent Theodore Roosevelt last week before
the House Sugar Trust Investigating
Committee. He was especially denuncia-
tory of Mr.. Roosevelt's alleged failure to
institute criminal prosecution Of Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company officials
after the Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery
deal was exposed in 1906.
Mr.. Earle spoke with such emphasis
that he offered TO apologize if the CON-
.mittee thought Mr.. Roosevelt's inaction
was not reprehensible.
Mr. Earle declared be had offered to
debate the issue with Mr.. Roosevelt last
fall. but that the latter declined the OPP
portunity to "overwhelm' him. He
said he had approached Mr.. Roosevelt
with the feeling that he was "the great
est man in the universe" Now, how.
ever, be wanted, he said. to submit his
case to the people of Kansas, who still
think" of the former Chief Executive as
he once did.

When ths World Mas Drunk.

Nowhere in all the world today eau
be found as many confirmed drunk
ards as there were among the Thra-
clans. the Iberians, the Celts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer. The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury Of the Persian feasts The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. 1t
was a saturnalla. Caligula owes his
niche in the hall Of fame TO the drunk
en- banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excuses made
fashionable by such potentates as Lu-
cullus, Nero, verres, Tiberius, Caligu-
la, yitellius and Domltian really began
in the days of Pompeii, and they mark
the beginning of the end of the repub-
llc.-Argonaut.

BASE BALL AND BAKE
Married Men Too Much For the
Single at Jacobs Farm.

Married Men Too Much For the |
Single at Jacobs Farm.
The baseball match and clam bake |
held in Phil Jacobs woods by the |
sporting farmers, of the West end on
the second of July was well attended
and was decided success all who at
tended being loud in their praise OF
the good time enjoyed.
The game was called by the umpire
Michael Dermondy at IL a. m, and
his craftsmanship was demonstrated
by the able and up to date manner in
which he called the balls, strikes and
outs.
The single men were first at the
bat. The battery for the married
men Frank Jewett and John Scully
were certainly in training. After
Frank was given a few minutes TO
warm up, the ball opened, only one
man reached first in the inning and
he was walked on account of frac-
tured rib caused by one of Franks
in curves, his fade away ball could
not be found by any of the single
men, the game though scientifically
played throughout was really won in
the second inning by the battery of
the married men. Scully knocked a
liner through short-stop Frank Casey,
and while fielder Mulqueen was look
ing for 1t the batter easily made sec
ond. Pitcher Jewett was next up and
drove the ball some where over the
Saunders Farm. Scully ran to third
and rolled over catcher Hummer at
the plate, he had not recovered when
Frank walked home, the ball had
not been returned to the pitcher at
this writing. These were the only
runs made in the game and ii closed,
score two. nothing in favor OF the
married men. 1t is the intention of
the team to form a three cornered
league next season with Potter Hill
and Woodford City. Let the sport 60
on 1t may be the means OF Scully and
Jewett putting on little flesh and
enable them TO get out OF the feather
weight class.
The bake was done to a turn and
there was enough and TO spare OF
everything even to the liquid refresh
ments. After all had satisfied the in
ner cravings and the batteries were
recharged, speeches were made by
several of those with powers in this
line. Michael Dermody spoke on
baseball as a scientific and health
promoting exercise. He was follow
ed by lack Parrock, lack opened up
on several current topics. especially
those relating to the general moral
uplift OF the community. Patriotic
songs as well as hymns were sung by
the quartette, which were composed
of two singles and two doubles. John
Storey first base, Patrick Mulqueen
second base, George Hummer, bari
tone and Charles Richmond, tenor A
solo was rendered by the baritone, en-
titled when the clans begin to
open. This was appropriate to the
occasion and we'll executed. The on
ly sentimental song was sung by re-
quest by John Scully, 1t was Fairy
Footprints, or the Dream OF Other
Days. and was rendered in a very
touching manner by the singer.
The company broke up at shutdown
after giving a vote of thanks to the
chief chef and his worthy assistant.

No Watered
Stocks in Georgia.

Georgia's railroad commission has
decided that no corporations doing
business in that state will be allowed
are necessary to finance their under
fakings and enterprises. The old
practice in vogue in nearly every part
of the country might have had some
advantages, but respect for it's old age
appears to be the best one, and the
example set by Georgia WIFI probably
be followed throughout the United
States.
Oftentimes the report goes out that
no more railroads can be built because
no money is obtainable If rates are
lowered or the service is to be i'm
proved. These very statements argue
eloquently in favor of forbidding cor
porations to issue watered stock, for
railroad stock ought to and would pay
handsomely for the money invested if
the watered stock was not paying
dividends.
In commenting upon the action
taken by the railroad commission the
Savannah Morning News endorses it
and uses the steel trust as an example
of immene profits made on watered
stocks. Says the News:
There has been a vast amount pub
ltshed in the last few years about wa
tered stocks, and the consensus of
opinion seems to be that it is an evil
that should be checked. 1t has been
alleged time and time again that the
common stock of the steel corporation
at the beginning of that great corpo-
ration was practically ali water, and
no doubt the belief that it was had
much TO do with the opinion that it
was violating the antitrust law In
order to make its earnings pay divi-
bends on that stock. 1t is claimed
that but for this watered stock steel
products would be sold at much lower
prices.
What is true of the steel CORPORA
ton is true of many other corpora
ftons that have issued stocks and
bonds in amount far greater than the
value OF the properties on which the
stocks are based The policy of the
railroad commission may be death
blow to some projected enterprises.
but it will make others that NAV be
established financially stronger and
win have the effect of increasing con-
fdence IN the securities of corpora
Sions and companies. Investors will
not feel when seeking investments
that they are in danger of buying
something that has little or no In
trinsic value and which may turn out

SPENT HER MONEY WELL

On beautiful Sheridan avenue, in

she was almost a wreck. Writing of
her condition at that time she says:
Last winter I was completely run
down and felt fagged-out all the time,
was nervous, and had indigestion.
One of my friends advised me to
take Vinol and it has done me great
good. The tired, WORKOUT feeling is
all gone and 1 am strong, vigorous
and well. The stomach trouble soon
disappeared and TOW I eat heartily
and have perfect digestion. l wish
every tired, weak, nervous woman
could have Vinol, for I never spent
any money in my life that did me so
much good as that I spent for Vino"
Thousands Of women and men who
We're formerly weak and sickly owe
their present rugged health to the
wonderful strength creating effects of
Vinol. If you are pale, weak, nervous
and upset you owe it to yourself and
your family to try Vinol. 1t will build
you and make you strong. II it does
not We give back your money. Whites

Where Crime Is
Made Alluring.

Chicago people are aroused against
the cheap shows that make crime al
Turing to the young.
There is movement to put out Of
business the theatres in which no
torious criminals are represented as
heroes.
The Shows" objected to principally
are moving pictures. showing train
robberies, lynchings, safe blowing,
BLACK hand" conspiracies and all man
ner of violence and bloodshed.
Every day after school hours these
places are crowded with little boys
and girls, until late in the evening.
Not long ago fe:znd boys in my
school who carried revolvers," says a
school principal when L asked them
why the carried weapons, the boys
answered that they wanted to be
brave like the heroes they had seen in
IN the pictures in the scent theatres.
The effect of these shows on the
children is demoralizing. Many of
the children have become so bad as
to be incorrigible.
Two schoolboys after seeing a bur-
giary show obtained a glass cutter
and broke into a jeweIry store.
A half dozen boys. coming from a
iynching show. We're preparing to
string up an inoffensive little negro
boy. when neighbors intefered.
All this happened in Chicago. It
could just as easily happen in Pensa-
cola. The class of shows referred to
should be cut out here as well as else
where.
Nothing can be said in favor of such
entertainments.
Their whole effect and influence is
debasing.
They ought to be wiped out of every
city in the land.
Boys lives are shaped to their ideals
The boys ideal is to his course in life
what the compass is to the ship al
sea. If it be true and steady, the
course will be straight; If 1t be not
true, there will be shipwreck.
The average boy idealizes heroism
above all things else; but if he learns
TO look for it only in brutality and
crime he is deceived into accepting a
very spurious article.
The mind and soul, as we'll as the
body, grows according to what it feeds
upon.
And poisons are as disastrous to the
bne as to the other.

ACQUITTED OF CHARGE OF
LYNCHING MEXICAN BOY
~ ASSOCIATED Press.

Cameron, Tex, Nov. AZ. T. Gore,
Jr., was today acquitted of the charge
of the murder of Fernando Gomez, the
Mexican boy lynched at Thorndale,
Tex, June 10. The trial lasted seven
days. After the Gore verdict. the
cases of Ezra Stephnes, G. P. Noack
and Harry Wuenche, also indicted on
charges of Gomez murder, were call
ed.
The main point in Cores defense
was an alibi. He said he was near
the scene of the lynching. but did not
participate. Other witnesses supported
his statement, contradicting the tes-
timony of the 1ynched boys guards.
