BRUNETTEs CAN DRINK MORE
Have Better Staying Qualities Than
Blondes With Booze"

Washington, Aug. 12.-As tipplers
blondes are outclassed by brunettes.
Army medical officers have arrived
at this conclusion as result of two
years observation Of enlisted men in
the Philippine Scouts, the Philippine
Constabulary and the Manila police
force.
The reports show that while fair
men are the equal of their dark com
rades in ability to withstand the tropi-
cal climate, in vitality, muscular
strength and intellect, they are lacking
in staying qualities when it comes tc
battling with John Barleycorn."

PAGE SEVEN
THE DICK INFAMY.

Perhaps the most far-reaching
and Infamous work that Roosevelt
was guilty of while holding the
Office of president was authorizing,
by his signature, the Dick military
law. Under the provisions of this
law every able-bodied citizen be-
comes subject to military duty, and
the State militia is added to the
national guard. This reserve may
be ordered by the president to do
duty anywhere in or out of the
Union, though contrary to the Con-
stitutional provision that the mill
tia cannot be sent out of the coun-
try. Under the provisions of this
bill the militia of one State may be
ordered by the president into an
other State to shoot down strikers
where there is not likely to be SO
much sympathy as at home. Under
the provisions of this law any man
who refused to obey orders is sub
ject to court martial and death
without civil trial This law was
not in operation until after Roose-
welt left the presidential chair Per-
haps his desire to again be presi-
dent lets IN the realization That now
the law is effective and if he becomes
president he will have almost abso-
lutte power in his hands. Roosevelt
is man of blood. He has always
advocated large army and navy.
He boasted of having shot Span
lard boy in the back during the
charge at Kettle Hill. The excuse
exists now for a war with Mexico
and those who know his character
cannot doubt but that were he pres
ident he would force it. 1t is the
hopes Of winning territory through
him that prompts the steel trust to
back him. Morgan does not care
how much he may boast Of favoring
the people just so he himself can
get the goods. Roosevelt will give
him the goods, all right, if he is
accorded the power.-Appeal to
Reason.

FROM A TEXAS READER.

Dear Sir: Progress and reform
is the principle political slogan and
watch words Of the day. With all
it should be onward to a perfect and
complete Democracy. But this can
not be without equal rights and
suffrage to all honorable citizens
alike, regardless of sex, color or
nationality. Suffrage is the anchor
and hope of our country. This be-
ing the fact, the more honest and
intelligent suffrage of the COM
mon class the better for this govern
ment. Our prospects are now good
for the testing of the moral and
civil strength of the ballot. May
this great nation escape disaster and
war through the honest and moral
use of the ballot, in the hands of all
its intelligent adult citizens is my
cincere desire and prayer to God.
We may do it if we don't mince the
work there are enough brains to do
it. We need all the available help,
and the spirit and the bride say
come.
Yours truly,
! G. P. SALYER.

A TRIBUTE FROM JACKSONVILLE

Dear Friend: Though unlearned
and valueleSs my opinion may be,
still, my heart will know no ease
till I have, at least, expressed this
opinion to you, as | have often done
to my acquaintances. In justice to
our illustrious figures of American
history, and with neutral compliment
to each, 1 find it a duty, which I
with profound pleasure discharge, to
name you among the renowned
group, which will ever be wreathed
around with the ever green laurel:
George Washington, Thomas jeff
erson, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lin
coin I trust that in this group no
names appear which are objection
able to you. If so, please pardon the
error, as no lack of compliment to-
wards you is intended. Vertically,
Mr.. Watson, I deem you to be our
second Martin Luther, and when
ever history learns to appreciate
civic righteousness, and the victo-
ries of peace more than those of
war, you will then be given your
proper place, as one of the most
emminent of Americas noble states
men. At present, l accord you to be
our leading American statesman,
and this year, [ would, that l were
to vote for you instead of Wilson.
For about year past, l have
been making a study of your writ
ings, especially those directed against
that most hypocritical evil before the
civilized world-the Roman Hier-
archy. Please accept my highest
recommendations and know that Won
have my constant and pervent pray
ers for you and your work, and also
that l am ever ready to stand by
you in any way whatever, to the bit
terest end. AS / fear the next five
or ten years will see the need for
young men who can speak with all
knowledge and thorough under
standing upon the works and his
tory and schemings of the church
of Rome; and realizing that we need

FROM DEAR OLD sEAB WRIGHT

FROM DEAR OLD sEAB WRIGHT.
Dear Tom.
Away out here in this Western
town, have been sitting in the hotel
lobby listening to a man talk about
q speech he heard you deliver, many
years ago, in Osceola, Nebraska. He
declared it to be the greatest speech
ever delivered and insisted you were
the greatest living orator today.
finally told him I was from Georgia
and knew you we'll. We afterwards
spent a pleasant afternoon together.
I did not ask him his name because
he said he did not know you per-
sonally.
| write you this because sometimes
it is pleasant to us to know that
things we have done in the years
gone have made lasting impressions
on men and mended, in a way, their
lives.
I suppose you fellows beat my
friend Hooper badly, / have not
heard the result. All the same
Hooper is a good man and would
have made Georgia fine governor.
Roosevelt is exceedingly strong
out here and while it looks now as
if Wilson would be elected, no one
can tell what will happen. con-
fess to great admiration for the
man.
1 hope to be at home for the sum-
mer in short time.
Yours truly,
SEABORN WRIGHT.
Cherokee, Iowa, Aug. 20, 1912.
Comment:
The speech referred to was made
for the w. ]. Bryan campaign, in
1895.
l stumped his State for him, while
he was dawdling away his time up
in New England.
He would not remain in Nebraska
while l was there working for him.
He never sent me a word of
thanks.
Yes, Seab, we had to beat your
friend Hooper.
1t was dead easy to do.
