There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together. and until the last few years
was supposed TO be incurable. For a grea,
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. SCI
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrll

JUDGE M'CLURC
WILL QUIT BENCH

Jackson, Miss, Aug, 21.-During
the judlcia y con erence at the state
house Judge Monroe McClurg of the
fourth district announced that he in
tends to submit his resignation at an
early date to Governor Brewer and
resume private practice.
The announcement caused consid-
cradle surprise. 1t was brought out
when Judge McClurg was nominated
as permanent chairman of the body.
He then suggested that some other
Judge be named, as he intends to re-
tire from the bench, because of the
fact thar the salary of the office does
not justify him in serving.
Judge McClurg, it will be recalled,
resigned from the office of attorney
general OF Mississippi for a similar

authority of Mr.. Horner himself for
saying that the life insurance conf
panies ARE babes in the wood IN
the method of training and appoint
ing agents." The states are equally
lax and unscientific in licensing the
agents that the companies appoint.
The proper and adequate purchase Of
a life insurance policy calls for a pro-
fessional service personally rendered
by a trained individual possessing in
tegrity and intelligence OF the highest
order.
Life insurance, it follows from the
foregoing, is a public, or, at any rate,
a semi-public, utility. But it can be
carried On by private initiative,
energy, and administration under
government regulation better than by
government ownership and operation.
In other words, the relation of the
government to life Insurance should
be analogous to its relation to the
railways.
If the principle of government regu-
lation as opposed to government oper-
alton of life insurance is accepted,
insurance managers and insurance
policyholders should agree on certain
features of the business which are
subject to government regulation and
should unite in seeing that regulation
is just and efficient.

CHJn LABOR


All, who are these on whom the vital
bloom
OF life has withered to the dust Of doom?
These little pilgrims, prematurely worn
And bent as if they bore the weight OF
years?
These childish faces, pallid and forlorn,
Too dull for laughter and too hard Tor
tears?
Is this the ghost of that insane crusade
That led ten thousand children long ago.
A flock of innocentS, deceived, betrayed,
Yet pressing on through want and woe
To meet their fate, faithful and unafraid
Nay, for a million children now
Are marching in the long, pathetic line,
With weary step and early wrinkled
brow;
And at their head appears no holy sign
OF hope in heaven;
For unto them is given
No cross to carry, but cross to drag.
Before their strength is ripe they bear
The load of labor, toiling underground
In dangerous mines, and breathing
heavy air
OF crowded shops; their tender lives are
To service of the whirling, Gathering
wheels
That fill the factories with dust and
noise;
They are not girls and boys,
But little hands, who blindly, dumb
ly feed
With their own blood the hungry god
of Greed.

THE TEMpERANCE QUESTION.

4
| Not so long ago William Randolph
| Hearst's newspapers suggested a solu-
| ton of the temperance and liquor prob
lem, which was properly characterized
| by them as one of the greatest nation
al questions. They urged the 10000
newspapers of the country to join
hands in educating the people to de-
| mand legislation that would place
| whisky, gin and other concoctions hav-
| ing a high percentage of alcohol in the
same class with opium, morphine and
| other destructive drugs and poisons;
and, on the other hand, permit the
sale, under reasonable regulation, of
mild stimulants" such as beers and
light wines that contain less than 8
per cent alcohol. 1t was argued that
indulgence in such drinks was prac-
tically harmless, as was evidenced by
the real Temperance" that prevails in
such countries where this indulgence is
general.
But almost coincident with this sug-
gestion from MI. Hearst came the news
from Germany that Kaiser Wilhelm
had become a teetotaler because ne
had become convinced from personal
observation and experience that the
drinking of any kind of a beverage
with alcohol in it is harmful, that it
is injurious to the individual and an
obstructive factor in the development
of a nation.
Since the beginning of it's modern
history Germany and beer have been
considered almost as being synony-
nous. To think of a German in his
20 hi
is almost to picture an anomaly. Beer
drinking bouts, instead of football and
baseball like in this country. have ever
been the chief sport among the cadets
and students in the German institu-
tions of higher learning. Until re-
Gently Kaiser Wilhelm has been a mod
crate drinker of alcoholic beverages
himself. 1t wasn't so many years ago
that he gave voice to the sentiment:
THE German must always have a lit
tie alcohol" And the German people
as a whole have always been famed for
being a nation of moderate" drinkers,
the bulk of them touching nothing
stronger than beer and the hghtest of
wines.
But even this sort of moderation"
leads to drunkenness and its attendant
evils, as some statistics recently gath
cred in Germany demonstrate They
show that more than 60 per cent of the
insane in that country, 50 per cent of
the epileptics, As per cent of the GRIM
inals and 50 per cent of the immoral
women have been born of drunken par
ents. Further, these statistics show
that drink in Germany, where "moder-
atom in drinking rules, mind you, is
the cause annually of 1000 suicides,
300 accidents, 10000 cases of delirium
tremens and insanity and 100000
crimes.
Perhaps it is these rather startling
statistics that have had something to
do with convincing the Kaiser that the
so-called moderate use of beer and
light wines is not as harmless as it has
been generally believed to be-
