Indictment Of Alcohol.

Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: Ter
rible, If true, are the evils ascribed
to the use of alcohol by Dr.. T. Alex
ander MacNicholl of New York, for
mer surgeon of the New York Red
Cross hospital, whom President
Roosevelt sent abroad to investigate
the subject of alcoholism and mar
cotics.
DR.. MacNicholl attributes to alco-
hol a degeneracy appalling in its
magnitude" In fifty years while
the population of the United States
increased $50 per cent. the number
of insane and feeble-minded increas-
ed $50 per cent. practically all of
which," says DR.. MacNicholl, "is
due to the chronic and excessive use
OF alcohol in one or another form,
and narcotics"
In five years the birth rate has
fallen of 331s per cent. '"This," it
is asserted, means the loss of a
million babies a year. "A hundred
different intermediate agents may
contribute to the undoing of the
race" the doctor says, ''but back of
them all stands Alcohol as the chief
degenerative factor. Statistics COM
piled by the leading insurance COM
panies, and presented by Sir T. w.
Whitaker in a report to the British
Parliament, show that out Of every
1000 deaths among the population
at large, 440 are due to alcohol.
This would mean a mortality from
alcohol in the United States OF
100000 a year.

THE FATHERS

We are reminded that Washington,
Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and other
worthy fathers OF the republic never
employed the initiative, referendum
and recall, and this undisputed fact
is presented as conclusive argu-
ment against these new political no.
tons Neither did these famous and
great old citizens ever use a tele-
phone, yet We have not heard their
negligence or Indifference quoted as
an argument for discarding the great
labor-saver Never one of EN- ever
suggested the regulation of corpora
tons or the equalizing of freight
rates They all submitted meekly to
whatever the traffic would bear, and
when the private mOnopolist put on
too much freight tariff they simply
ceased to traffic.-Tampa Times.
All true enough. Franklin, however,
toyed with lightning; Jefferson used a
copying press and invented plow.
The fathers believed in progress. Be
cause Christ rode into Jerusalem
astride of an ass it did not restrict
them to that mode of locomotion.
While this is true, they did not at
tempt to improve on the "old time re-
ligion." They did not attempt to al
ter, amend or abolish the ten COM
mandments or to enlarge or embel-
ish Christ's sermon on the mount
They recognized that there was a
vast difference between spiritual, NOR
al and material things.
Our representative, popular, consti-
tutional government has stood the
stress and storm of more than a cen
fury and a quarter; it has seen other
nations change their form Of govern
ment for better and for worse, but
for purity and stability none has yet
approached ours. 1t has stood the
test, it has fought a good fight and
we fain hope that the time is a long
way off before it shall finish its
course, and it will be if the standard
of "old time democracy" is held we'll
to the front.

COST OF COTTON GOODS

In the recent report of the tariff
board on cotton goods figures are pre-
sented to show that, although labor
costs in the cotton industry are in
many cases lower in the United
States than in England, yet the actual
hourly earnings in this country are
in most of the principal occupations
much greater. The conclusion is that
on many plain fabrics the cost of
production in this country is not
greater.
The report gives some figures
showing the difference in cost of cot
ton fabric at the mill and the cost to
the consumer Cloth sold at the mill
at eight or nine cents a yard reaches
the consumer at fifteen cents. Some
examples are given:
I'm 1908 quilt sold at the mill for
sixty-two and a half cents, was sold
to the consumer at ST. In 1910, the
mill increased the price to seventy
five cents, and the price to the con-
sumner went up $3.50"
The board argues, however, that in
some cases reduction in the mill
price might have no reduction for
the consumer. A study of compare
tive statistics seems to show that the
English consumer buys cheaper be-
cause there is less profit between the
mill man and the retailer.

Mr.. Hayes Lewis of Mariana is a

that the object of his visit primarily
is to promote Mr.. Millions campaign

from his platform, is particularly hos

does not practice what he breaches,
as he is mixed up with quite a num-

Milton favors working the state con-

Everglades, and he is issued a fairy
like statement that the proposition
will yield the state an annual profit
of something like three-quarters of a
Mr.. Milton to say, however, that grow

not one of the corporations in which
he is individually engaged We hope
that before he leaves some of our
citizens will show Mr.. Lewis the Ok

sugar cane was grown, and from
which a part of the armies of the
Confederacy were supplied with real
sugar. Growing sugar cane on the
Oklawaha river is a live, genuine,
fetching proposition.

WOMAN'S ARM IS
 SHOT OFF BY NEGRO
High School Boys in Demand at Pratt vile as Result of Labor
 Scarcity

Prattville, June D. Special )-Abra- ham Taylor. negro on Chambliss plan- tation, eight miles from this city, shot off the right arm of Maggie Pope with a shotgun yesterday afternoon. The sheriffs office was immediately noti- fled, but the accused made good his escape before the sheriff and his depu- ties could get on the ground, although they secured the dogs of Sheriff Hood of Montgomery county in just lew hours after the shooting. It Is believed the accused crossed the river and is in Lewndes county. The trouble grew out of Maggie Pope shaming Taylor about whipping his wife. He became enraged and secured his shotgun and the entire load took effect in her arm near the shoulder, almost entirely severing the arm from the body.
 Senator H. S. Doster is confined to his home from fever. He has not been able tc be out in nearly week.
 Labor in this section is scarce on ac- count of the number of new buildings being erected here at present Some idea of the demand may be judged by the fact that boys who have left the high school are employed at SIPS per day.
 The work on the new Methodist church building is progressing satisfac- tcrily at this time. The want of labor delays all work to some extent. Un- less some unforeseen trouble arises the contractors will have no trouble in fin- ishing this building by the first of Oc- tober. according to contract
