Senator Johnston's Death.

| Alabama is entitled to two votes in the
Senate, and both should be recorded on
the Underwood tariff bill Her attitude
| toward the measure is well known. 1t
bears the name of one of her sons. Sen
ator Bankhead will vote for it, and Sena-
tor Johnston would have done so had he
lived. For this reason successor to
Senator Johnston should take the vacant
seat at as early day as possible.
The democrats do not need this vote to
carry out their tariff program. They
have a majority-though a bare major
ity-without it. But no risks should be
taken. They should muster their full
strength for the occasion.
The democratic party is in power under
a pledge to revise the tariff, and the
country expects action. Death should not
be permitted either to defeat or modify
that action. As Objectionable as the
Underwood bill is to many business in
terests. it is the expression of party re-
sponsibility, and this is a government by
party. If the bill in operation as law
fails it can and will be repealed. Mean
while the democracy's duty Is to pass the
bill and the country's to give it fair
trial.
Ordinarily, the man above all others
for the place would be Mr.. Underwood.
He has won his spurs as a national leg
slator and stands high among the demo
cratic leaders. He is a clean, capable,
and conservative force in our politics. In
he Senate he would take place at once
n the front rank.
But he is needed in the House. In fact,
his partys need of him there is greater
now than at tie beginning of the present
session. He had no great difficulty in
putting the tariff bill through, but the
currency bill. which will not be his, will
be a trying proposition and require ex-
pert handling. Then the work of the
regular session will call for an expe-
rienced man at the helm, and Mr.. Under
wood, above all his associates, fills the
bill
Another point relates to the presidency.
Has Mr.. Underwood withdrawn his eyes
from the White House? In the circum-
stances, he made a remarkable showing
at Baltimore last year. He is a young
man-only fifty-one AS he did not at
first succeed, why should he not try. try
again? Presidential aspirants, with good
right, have long regarded the Senate as
a hoodoo. Is Mr.. Underwood super
stitious? If SO, he may confess the fact
without fear of injury in public estima-
ton. Superstition goes with politics as
with sport. 1t is a human quality, and
even attractive.

Drugs and Labor.
ON the New Orleans r1mes-Democrat.

bIOm the New UrIeanS T1mes-Uemocrat.
Washington, D. c., Is to make an ex-
pertinent that should be watched atten-
lively by the punitive authorities Of other
cities, for, if successful, the plan will give
a double benefit. The idea is to set good,
hard physical labor as a countermine to
the effects of narcotic drugs. The drug
user, henceforth, who falls into the laws
hands, as nearly every one does sooner
or later, will be set to work and by good
honest toll his physical system will be
built up until 1t will overcome the need
for nerve stimulants. and the man or
woman will be able to take a place in the
world with a fighting chance to win. In
cidentallF, the product of the labor will
go, in large part, to those who are nat
urally dependent on the drug victim for
support be they wife. children or parents.

1.-THE World Is
My Spy

and I pay the highest price for in
formation" said James Keene, the
wizard Of Wall street, when asked
why he succeeded where others met
disaster.
Keene bought and sold on the
best information he could get-he
won where others failed.
A true rule for stocks and bonds
is equally good for everyday life
for buying clothing, furnishings,
or for every need.
Information is not high. The
world comes to you through the
advertising columns of The Star.
It tells you where goods can be
had and what they are selling for.
1t gives true information, for the
merchants know they are judged
by what they say in their adver-
Using.
Read the advertising in The Star
today. This is the bargain month of
the year. 1t is particularly so this
year, because merchants and manu-
facturers are anticipating tariff
changes by lessening stocks.
The man or woman who makes
the dollars count is the one who
buys on the best obtainable infor-
nation.
There Is no better WHO'S WHO"
or WHATS WHAT" than the ad-
vertising columns of The Star.

"GOOD NEWS"

Say, friends, here is a piece of
news that may interest some of
you, especially those of you who
are inclined toward religious lit
erature. I have been running The
Fool-Killer for nearly four years.
[ have made a little money and
have had several wagon-loads of
fun out of it, but my wife (who
is a good modest Christian woman)
has always been sorter ashamed
of the fool thing. She considers it
a purity tolerable sorry excuse for
a paper and wonders why Sc
many folks are so crazy over it.
And so, in order to show me and
the rest of you what a real paper
looks like, Mrs. Pearson has turned
in and started a paper of her own.
It is a non-sectarian religious
monthly, and it's name is GOOD
News" The first issue has just
appeared. And right here let me
make this public confession-the
wilder has done got me skinned.
"GooD NEwso amt as droll and
funny as The Fool-Killer, but it
is ten times better because it talks
about better things. It is also we'll
written and full of fresh new
ideas. One issue contains more
Bible truth and spiritual uplift
than a dozen ordinary sermons.
know some of my readers don't
believe in religion at all, but there
will come a time when they will
wish they had. And so l invite
all my readers, no matter what
their religious views, to subscribe
for my wife's paper. 1t will DC
you good. The price of single
subscriptions is fifteen cents :
year, but in clubs of five or more
, it is only ten cents. Send money
by any safe method, and address
all orders to:

YE.

. All right, little 'uns, just be
still and your uncle will preach
you another sermon. Amt
thought of nary subject to preach
about yet, but maybe if I start
out the subject will come. So
here goes.
| am going to give my thinker
absolute freedom on this occasion
and see what kind of a caper it
will cut. Oh, goody, goody!-
there's my subject-Freedom!
This is going to be a Sermon on
Freedom. "Ain't that a jim-dandy
way for a Teller to get a subject?
I'll try that trick again sometime.
Wehave heard so many Fourth
of July orations on the subject
that some Of us have actually got
to believing that there is such a
thing as American Freedom.
Wonder where that fool notion
started from, anyhow? Our an
cestors paid a big price for free
dom, and they thought they got
what they paid for. But did they
get it? And if so, what has be-
come of it? There don't seem to
be any freedom lying around loose
these days. Possibly the million
aires have got it. They have got
most everything else. Sure thing,
the common people of this coun-
try amt burdened with freedom.
Their burdens are of a different
kind. They are actual slaves. Nc
use to deny that. The slaves OF
circumstance and the serfs OF
commercial greed. And no mar
can be a slave and a freeman al
the same time.
Take the average working
man, and examine his so-calleo
freedom. What does it consist Of
Freedom to slave ten hours a day
for a bare existence. Freedom tt
change bosses occasionally, ane
perhaps get a worse one than h
had before. Freedom to go hun
cry and wear rags. Freedom t.
live in a shack that a rich man.
dog would scorn. Freedom t.
supply the world with abundanc'
and take the scraps for himself
Freedom? Oh, yes, [ reckon
there is some freedom in Amer
ca, but the money sharks hav
got it. And they are going t
hold on to it like a puppy to
root.
Hurrah for american Free
dom!" Why don't you boiler?

Oh!
Ouch!
Geeminy sakes!
Did you hear that?

Dlu you near that!
And SO the doodle-bug sawsiety
of Grafter's Headquarters is 60,
ing to have the blessed privilege
of rubbernecking after a pair of
summer breeches as they go
straddling~ down the street with
an old Dominic Hen inside of
EN-! Won't that be ge-lorious? I,
can just imagine what great in
terest it will create. Woodrow
will come out on the front steps
in his sock feet, while all the
wheels Of government on Capitol
Hill will stand still to see the
breaches go by. Even the tariff
will be forgotten for the time
being, and the pie-hungry Dem
ocrat will have to suck his thumb
and wait.
The world is just beginning to
learn what magic power there is
in a pair Of breeches. We can
we'll afford to let everything else
go hang till we absorb all the
spiritual blessing that can be
squoze out of this momentous
event.
Oh, fudge! Now amt that
something to take on over? Why,
Mrs. Dominic Hen can haul on
one pair of breeches over another
till she gets EN- a foot thick all
over herself if she wants to. 1t
amt none of my business. I wear
breeches every chance I get, and
the entire shemale shebang of
Washington City can do likewise
if it suits 'em.
No doubt it was just as much
of a novelty when men first be-
gan to wear breeches as it is now
when the women are beginning
to take it up. And if it had just
happened in the early days that
men had begun to wear dresses
instead of pants, we would be
doing it yet and would think it
was all right. You see it is all a
matter Of being used to a thing,
and if we have got to accustom
ourselves to women in breeches
we might as we'll begin now as
any time. So just let Mrs. Domi-
: mic Hen and her brood alone.
Maybe they are the pioneers of a
: great reform. Who knows?
