TO PATRONS OF THE STREET
RAIL WAY.

In the process of the reconstruction
of the street railway plant and the
reorganizing of it's business, it was
found necessary to discontinue the
sale of street car tickets, and, con
fident in the fairness and justice OF
the public when the facts are thor
oughly understood, the management
takes this opportunity to give the
reason for such action.
We believe that almost everyone
realizes that the street railway bust
ness is conducted at loss in town
of this size, and this is becoming
more serious on account of the con
slant increase in the price of all ma
terial and supplies that enter into the
cost of operating a street car line. The
effect of this is to make it extremely
difficult to get the necessary money t.

Either the Rest Cure or iona
Vita Will Build You

If you are nervous, debilitated, and
run down in health, there are two
things you can do to bring back your
strength and vitality. You can go to
sanltarium and take the rest cure
or you can secure the great modern
tonic "Tona Vita" and let 1t build
you up and furnish new nourishment

If you knew what wonderful re-
suits have been accomplished by
iona Vita since physicians first in
troduced it in this country you would

DURUM WHEAT
A Most Valuable Food.

The original Durum wheat was
grown on the banks of the Blacy Sea,
and because of its richness in gluten
has always been used by the Italians
for making macaroni. The U. s. Ag.
ricultural Department imported some
of the best specimens of this Durum
wheat and tested it out. When they
found the right soil and climatic con
ditions they produced the finest Dur
UNI wheat in the world.
From this wheat, SO rich in nourish
ing elements, Faust Macaroni is
made. For this reason Faust Macar
oni is the most nutritious food Of all
and, best of all, it contains tina,

gested form, 1t is all food, good food

PUBLIC OPINION.

To the Editor of The Gate civ.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
There is very widespread agitation
at the present time in behalf of civic
righteousness and for laws designed
to express more clearly the will of the
people. The cause. for this agitation
is said to be the unrest and uncertain
lty which prevails throughout the
world. But in the proposals to ac-
complish certain reforms, men con.
tinue to differ In opinion as to the
value and constitutionality of meas
ures which are designed to ameliorate
conditions.
Legislation which will conserve the
inherent rights of ALL and at the same
time control malefactors of all
classes, high and low, rich and poor.
seems difficult to construct. History
affords abundant evidence that stat
utes designed for good from the view
point of their original proponents,
have been used to prosecute dissent
ers, especially is this true of laws af.
fecting religious relations
/ A religious convention was held in
New Orleans, November, 1910, at
which the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the congress of the
United States be earnestly requested
to amend section 1893 of the revised
statutes of the United States relating
! to the mailing of obscene, lewd, and
| lascivious' literature so that the same
| shall include the mailing of books,
papers, writings, and prints which out
rage religious convictions of our citi.
zens, and contain scurrilous and
slanderous attacks upon faith
| At a convention held last August in
Columbus, Ohio, the same resolution
was endorsed and re-enacted.
/ Considering that the present law
amply covers the subject of improper
immoral literature, does not the pro
posed amendment, if adopted by con
gress, put within the grasp of some
religious sect weapon by which the
freedom of speech and of the press
may be stified and would not this be
contrary to the spirit and letter OF
the first amendment to the constitu-
ton, which provides: Congress shall
make no Law respecting an establish
ment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof: or abridging the
freedom of speech OR of the press?"
Thomas Jefferson in letter to
Elbridge Gerry, 1893, said among
other things: 81 am for freedom OF
religion and against all maneuvers
to bring about legal ascendency OF
one sect over another; for freedom OF

dist church of Donnellson, choosing
for his test: Let not your heart be
troubled. We believe in God believe
also in Me- and in a manner com
forting to the living, spoke of the as
surance which comes to the believer
in Gods promises to the faithful. Mrs.
Hamilton had reached the advanced
age of 50 years, months and Is days;
sixty-six years of those years were
spent in Lee county. AS she was grow
ing too feeble to live alone her daugh-

December and took her to her home
in Old Monroe, Mo-, where she was
tenderly cared for until the summons
came to her Masters presence.

the press and against all violations of
the constitution to silence by force
and not by reason the complaints of
criticisms just or unjust of our citi-
zens against the conduct of their
agents.
In letter to Washington in 1892,
Jefferson made this comment on the
subject of the press: Nature has
given to man no other means of sift-
ing out the truth either in religion,
law Or politics"
II congress shall accede to the
wishes of the society above mention
ed, it would establish by law an Index
Librorum Prohibitorum, which is man
Iifestly in opposition to the genius OF
our American system of government
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that con
gress will refuse the legislation de
sired.
