From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Observation-Disclosures Gessner stands out
as the champion high priced wooer Of
Baltimore. according to the testimony
read before United States Commissioner
Bond.
Gessner, according to the testimony of
Miss Lulu Stephens, Of Carlisle. Pa, got
from her by his promises, by his heart
throb letters and by his frequent visits
to her home as much as $z7, 900 in the last
four years and $500 in the last year.
Although he has a wife and family,
Gessner, according to her testimony, had
promised to marry her, but decided to
postpone the ceremony until he had COM
pleted his education as a physician. This
education, according to the letters which
were submitted. was Of the most expen-
sive kind.
Other witnesses have testified that
Gessner had not studied at any medical
school and that he has used at least part
Of his advances from his Harrisburg
sweetheart for supporting his own fam
lily here, having quit work recently when
the money began to come in large sums
from Miss Stephens.
Some of the largest items Of expense
which made up the alleged $4,000 contri-
buttons of last year were bills from DR..
Finney and DR.. Chalmers for difficult
operations.
Gessner was released on $1,000 bail.

JUST WHAT IS AIN
ADVER TISEMENT.

Washington, d. G., Sept 2l.-
"What's an ADJ" This question is
pulling the government officials, as
"What's whiskey" did several years
ago. In the new postoffice bill, there
is provision that all articles publish
ed in newspapers for which the newspa-
per receives "valuable consideration
must be marked advertisement" The
designation "ad'' which is printed at
the end of many reading matter arti-
Giles, will not do. The word "advertise-
mentn must be spelled out.
In other words, if book is sent free
to newspaper for review, under the
strict Interpretation of the new law,
the review would have to be marked
ADVERTISEMENT" but if the publisher
pays for the book, the designation can
be eliminated. 1t is claimed that the
book in itself sent free for review
constitutes valuable consideration. y
There are some who are claiming un-
der this law that theatrical criticism
when tickets for the show are sent to
the critics of newspapers free of cost
will also have TO be designated as "ad-
vertisement." Postmaster General
Hitchcock is out of the city and IL
has not passed upon the question 81

Strict enforcement of the law may

with half a peck of apples, couple Of

asks the editor 10 write something
about them. The editor always does
SO, but hereafter if apples, cabbages,
peaches and potatoes are excepted,
they may be held as constituting "val-
liable consideration, and the article
would have to be designated as an

DENIES STATEMENT
MADE YESTERDAY.

| Noticed in yesterdays Staff tina
had been designated one of com
mittee on reception TO meet Governol
Hooper, when he arrives in our city
on his campaign speaking tour for re-
election.
Under other circumstances, or if ii
was merely visit from the Governor
on non-political basis, l would deem
the appointment as an honor; but
since it is otherwise, and to some,
might appear as if / was supporting
or going to support Gov. Hooper, l
must enter my objection.
Governor Hooper has done nothing,
absolutely nothing, TO enforce the
prohibition laws; and, nquestionably
being cognizant of their violation, /
cannot understand why he can have
any claims on the democracy of Tenn
essee.
If | understand Alright, the Governor
has the right TO remove any sheriff in
the State for MaIfeaSauce in office, or
for fragrant violation of the duties of
his office; yet, Gov. Hooper has never
made any effort whatever, toward re-
moving the sheriffs in any of the
counties, Davidson, Shelby, Hamilton
or Knox, when the prohibition laws
are openly violated, | believe the con-
tinuance of Governor Hooper in the
gubunational chair, and the continu-
ance in power of the republican party,
under any pretense whatever, is detn-
mental and inimical TO the interests OF
the Democratic party in the State.
Tor that reason intend supporting
the honorable Benton McMilin.
Yours for Democracy,
