HIS HORSE WON WHILE
HE PUT ON HIS GLOVES

That one of Marion county's COM
missioners is a former race horse man
and a parsonage Of considerable re-
spect in the minds of the old boys
who "druv' their trottin' hosses'
through the streets at every occasion
when they were banterCd for a short
spin to test out the speed Of the re-
speCtive animals was made known to-
day when Daddy" Beckwth, the rep
resentatiye commissioner from the
south end Of the county related an ex-
perence wherein he bested a contem-
porary in the town Of Independence
about thirty-five years ago.
According to the story told by Com
missioner Beckwith, he was at one
time a great race horse lover. While
dickering with other horsemen in In
dependence years ago and attempting
to stir up prospective buyers who con-
gregated about the town livery barn"
Mr., Beckwith accepted a banter from
an opposing horse owner for a race.
Mr. Beckwlth hooked up to an ordi-
nary buggy, he says, and while his
contestant was streaking it through
the then straight street of Independ-
ence and the city marshal urging the
race on, he Beckwith) jumped into
his rig and while putting on his gloves
preparatory to do some tall driving,
his animal passed the other and at
the end of the 'ten-block heat, was
about q hundred feet to the good.

declares the commissioner THAT boss
of mine just naturally out-legged the

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

1. It Is absolutely the only Appli-
anCe OF the kind on the market today,
and in 1t are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out Of POSI-
tlOn.
8. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der II clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
d." Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads, used in other trusses, 1t Is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
D., 1t Is small, soft and pllable, and
positively, cannot be detected through
the clothing.
6. The soft, pllable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the un-
pleasant sensation Of wearing q har-
ness,
T. There is nothing about 1t to get
foul, and when 1t becomes sOiled 1t
can be washed without injurlng 1t In
the least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruislng the flesh.
0. All Of the material of which the
Appliances are made is Of the very
best that money can buy, making 1t
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. Ny reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
llshed by an experience of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are so reasonable, my terms
80 fair, that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending free coupon
today.

The Problem Solved.
Editor Capital Journal:

Editor Capital Journal
/ respectfully ask for q little space
in your valuable paper to set forth my
observations regarding the immoral
conditions existing in Salem.
Not knowing where to place the re-
sponsibility will say that ! am not in
sympathy with the idea of crlticisng
the church for all the evil, as ! am a
church member myself.
Not long ago | called on some of the
gentlemen in authority and pointed out
some of the saloon evils that thought
they were accountable for, and they
called my attention to Paul's advice to
Timothy, where he said take. little
wine for your stomachs sake" That
brought 10 my mind an idea. Believ-
ing that | could put the saloon out Of
business by taking Paul's advice, so
started out to drink up all the liquor
In Salem, When ! started in | found
some Of the brethren entering the
back door helping me SO things looked
brighter to me for u time, but | soon
found that brewers and distillers were
manufacturing it faster than we could
drink it, ] also found, by reading
further in the scriptures that Paul had
no business to prescribe for Timothy,
for he was not a doctor his business
was to preach the gospel, but he pre-
scribed, and, in my Judgment, Timothy
took the remedy, for the next we heard
OF Timothy he was dead Not being
discouraged at this defeat, decided to
run for mayor believing if could be
elected mayor | could put the saloons
out of business, but on looking over
the city charter found the mayor was
compelled to sign the saloon licenses.
Somehow | could not make this con-
form to my obligation as a church
member, 80 | decided not to run for
mayor, for | could not serve II elect
ed, Therefore, | next cast about to
ascertain how many of the city council
were church members. After my in
Iyestigation | found the majority were
members Of the various churches.
Now, | said to myself, we have the sa-
looms on the run as these Christian
gentlemen will never tolerate saloons
in this beautiful city, where a large
majority Of its citizens are loyal
church members. | know this will
make many glad hearts, as the
churches and the municipal league
have been planning for a long TINT to
control the election of the majority in
the city council At last we have found
the solution to this great wrong We
know It is within the power Of tho
mayor and city council to abolish the
saloon, thereby making Salem second
to none as Il clean city.

The Rosary
Is Coming
Next Week

Every woman thinks she knows
low to keep alive the love of her hus-
band Wonder if the girls in this city
know that art? Sometimes it is said
they don't At any rate, they will
know after they witness a perform
ance of "The Rosary" which is coming
to the Grand opera house next Tues
day, January IA.
In "The Rosary" there are three dis
tinct love stories The principal love
affair is that Of Bruce and Vera Will
ton. This husband and wife love each
o'her with their whole hearts. She Is
deyout woman, but he is a born athe-
ist. Being a man of much business
interests, Mr.. Wilton neglects his
homo, and Vera resorts to the green
eyed monster to bring her husband
back to her She begins a Irritation
with a man named Kenward Wright.
| Circumstances bring Wright into the
Wilton home, where he falls in love
with Veras sister Alice. One night,
when he and Alice had arranged for
a secret elopement, Vera, entering the
room as the couple are leaving
| through an open window, is discover
ed by her husband. The result Is two
broken hearts; therefore jealousy is
an evil, and not an advisable way Of
keeping a man interested
The second love story Is between
Kathleen O'Connor and Charley Har-
row. Kathleen is a little Irish girl,
who believes that the man she will
marry must know the Irish history
thoroughly, Charley knews nothing
tf Irish history so Kathleen attempts
10 teach him. To keep Charley inter-
ested Kathleen uses the simplest of
language, dress and actions. Charley
is attracted to her by her simpleness
so It is shown that the simplest truth
attracts the man of the world and
Keeps him interested.
In the love story between Lesura
and Skeeters, the audience finds that
opposition to a mans vanity makes
him only the more interested In the
pursuit of the one thing upon which
he prides himself greater than all else
During the scenes Skeeters is very
proud of his ability to tell stories,
but It isn't until after an original sys-
EN- is employed that Skeeters sue
ceeds in getting Lesura to laugh. All
Of this love is in "The Rosary" and
with a competent cast presenting 1t,
the play Is worth attending,

CALL ISSUED FOR CHILD LABOR

The GOOO clcrgymcn who last year

being asked to speak on that subiest
Sunday, January %, For seven years
the National Child Labor Committee
has issued such an appeal, and the in

reminds clergymen that child laborers
