Easier to De Good Or Radq

Is It easier to be good than to be
bad? It has occurred to an eminent
minister to assert that it is. And he
IS quite right. Indeed. it is strange
that the world has not found It out,
and become sinless.
AIuch-everythin -conspires in Ca
vor of being good. The first thirst
for applause. the desire to strut with
inflated chest the memory 0f virtues
rewards previously enioyed--all these
drag the helpless victim into the
meshes Of goodness. The wonder is
that sin does not become extinct, like
those functions of the body which
were used before simians stopped
climbing trees and became men.
Really. isn't il a wonder that after
innumerable years Of experience with
the inevitable penalties OF badness and
with the highly desirable rewards Of
goodness people gsll 20 on misbehav.
ing themselves? Pious or pagan, the
facts are obvious to all, and a well.
developed business sense ought to be
enough to make everybody virtuous.
For virtue fits in with the way the
world is built the pagan would say
that virtue is virtue because it does
fit, and that vice is vice because ii
doesn't. The pious would say that
virtue fits because It IL virtue, and
that vice does not tit because 1t Ia
vice. But pious or pagan, we all admit
that virtue fits and that vice does not;
and then We all alike try to make vice
ht when We know it won't
This is the great business era Of
the worlds history But we are as
slow today as ever 20 learn the great
est business principle ever known to
the world-that virtue IS easier to
practice than vice, and that virtue is
an profit and vice all loss.-Syracuss

Tonight his body, lying in the death
chamber, is surrounded with flowers.
Messages of sympathy have been receiv-
ed from King Victor Emanuel, high Of
ficials of state, diplomatic representa-
tives and from many personal friends
in all parts Of the world.
The death Of Mr.. Morgan was not
known in Rome until several hours after
it occurred, owing to the desire that Mr..
Morgan's son, j. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.,
who is in New York, should first be ne
titled.
Mr.. Morgan's daughter, Mrs. Herbert
L. Satterlee, who has been IN constant
attendance, was at the death bed.
j. Pierpont Morgan, banker and fnan-
cier, was born at Hartford, Conn, April
II, 1897.
His father, Junius Spencer Morgan,
and his mother, Juliet Pierpont, were
descendants of old New England stock.
Both were from noted families.
He was educated, first in the public
schools of Hartford, later graduated
from a Boston high school, and finished
his studies at the University of Goet-
tingen, Germany. He was an ordinary
scholar, evidencing no brilliant streak,
of mentality.

THE CAIRO LEVEE
NOW THREATENED
1000 ACRES ARE IN IMMEDIATE
DANGER OF INUNDATION.
THE CITY ITSELF IS SAFE
Every City in Southeast Missouri Warn

Since 1875-Levee Below Birds

Cairo, lll.-The Big Four drainage lie.
wee protecting about one-third Of the
Cairo drainage district, composed of
about 1000 acres of land above the city
is leaking considerably and a break is
likely to occur at any time.
1t was rumored that this levee had
broken, but this proved without foun-
dation, The report vas due to several
slides and the fact that the water is
running over the embankment in several
places.
All efforts are now bent toward saw
ing the city itself. The situation at
midnight was declared by those in
charge to be well in hand.
Within the district which would be
flooded in te event Of q break in the
drainage levee is the village Of Future
City with a negro population Of 1900,
a number of farms and factories.
The breaking of this levee would not
affect the city of Cairo, as the big food
gates at Subway protect the city proper
from the drainage district. Every pre-
caution is being taken by Cairo, how
ever, to take care of the approaching
floods. Thousands of workmen we're
busy all day placing sand bags and bulk
heading the %leyees, and so rapidly did
the work proceed that Mayor George Par
son issued the following statement:
Prospects are that the approaching
floods will be successfully taken carr
Of by Cairo. We expect the stage OF
the river will greatly exceed the high
mark of 1912, providing the levees be-
low the city hold"
The Cairo drainage district was aban-
doned by the levee workers. The water
is steadily running through the levees
in many places, and it is believd it is
only a matter of hours until the entire
district which was engulfed last year
will again be filed up.
A serious slide occurred which was
promptly checked, but it was seen that
the task of protecting the district was
too large against the large amount OF
water still above.

COLD In
THE HEAD
Is the First Chapter in the History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history Of disease and deaeh.
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples Of it.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to conlne a vigorous person
to the house. AS a rule, it ends In
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
In the head as of no Importance. It il
a terrible mistake, however, to pass
by a cold In the head as trivial mat.
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that q few doses Is sufficient to re.
move every vestige Of the cold. How
much better 1t is to treat q cold In this
way than 1t 10 to allow 1t to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for O cold In the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head IL in reality O
case Of acute catarrh. It ought to be
called 50, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
q large per cent. Of cases cold In the
head will end in chronic catarrh. Un.
less properly treated with some such
remedy al Peruna, perhaps 80 per
cent. Of cases Of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very rel a tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack IL
more serious, to keep strictly In the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
a teaspoonful every hour.

Explaining the Needle.

A typesetter in a printing house be.
came very adroit in explaining the
large number of misprints for which
he was responsible. Even when he
changed his work and became a wait
er in a restaurant, says Das Echo, his
skill did not forsake him.
One day he had served a guest with
q plate Of soup, and was turning
away, when he was called back
sharply.
This Is an outrage!" cried the in-
dignant dinner. Il ind a needle in my
soup! What does this mean"
Just a misprint, sir" explained the
former typesetter. 1T should have

SUE BREWER FOR
100000 DAMAGES
Three Penltcntiary Trustees Allege De,
lIberate SANDER.
VIII Probably Make Answer Immediate
ly Upon Returning-C, C. Smith,
Leroy 7. Taylor and W. A.
Montgomery, Plaintiffs.

Jatk~ou-A new chapter vas written
in the Official and legal history OF the
state ot Mississippi when suits OF SUI,
was instituted in the Circuit Court Of
Kinds County against the governor OF
the state hy men who, ike him, hold
their position by virtue OF the votes OF
the electorate. The statement made by
one OF the parties to the suit some
some weeks ago to the effect That we re
gong to sue Earl Brewer Tor a quarter
Of q million dollars, for deliberate and
williul SANDER" appears to have been
made good, and in fact, improved upon,
for the three penitcntiary trustees, IN
their individual capacity, bring suit IN
the sum of 100000 each against Earl
Brewer, also AZ against the individual,
and not az the chief executive.
The style OF the new suit is {. {.
Smith, Leroy T.. Taylor and W. A. Mont
gomcry, plaintiffs, VI. Earl Brewer, de-
PENDANT, 1t was prepared and filed by
V. Y. Montgomery, Jf, OF Edwards, ne
phcw OF Col. ". A. Montgomery, one
OF the parties of the first part. In the
declaration, which ~ made up OF iour
counts, it is aycrrcd that neither OF the
plaintiffs has been "cycr accused OF
wrongdoing or crime, yet the aforesaid
Earl Brewer, well knowing the premises,
aud greatly envying said plaintiffs IN
their good name, fame and credit, III
their official position AS trustees OF the
state penitcntiary to bring them into
public scandal, iniamy and disgrace,
caused it to be suspected and believed
that the said plaintiffs were guilty OF
fraud and dishonesty, and OF cheating
and imposing upon the State of Missls-
sippi, with the intent to Cypress ana
ruin them
There ale several counts in the de-
claration, in which alleged utteranccs
of Gov. Brewer, either spoken outright
or submitted for publication, eriticilzns
tho penitentiary trustees methods o.
disposing of the Parchman cotton, are
quoted from. These remarks, it is
claimed by plaintiffs, have caused them
TO be brought INTO public disgrace; that
they have been and are stunned and
avoided by diverse persons and greatly
injured.
Premises considered, plaintiffs ask
Judgment in the sum Of 100000 each,
or 100000 altogether, to be recovered
of and from the said Earl Brewer.
Directly after the filing Of the suit
summons were placed in the hands OF
sheriff Middleton, who himself called
at the governors office to find that he
was not in the city, Secretary Buck
stating that he believed GOV. Brewer
was out of town for the day.
1t is stated by those close to GOV.
Brewer that he has been waiting on
just such action as the above before
coming out with certain information
which he has in his possession, and no
doubt is felt that an answer will b.
Forthcoming in due time.
