Louisville, what had I to lose or 10
fear by voting against the Webb Ken
yon bill?
Have Supported Temperance Legisla-
ton.
In nearly twelve years Of service I'm

all measures demanded by the temper
ance people. voted against the army
canteen and against G. o. ID. ship
ments Of whiskey. Mr. Beckham talks
about his fight imposing a tax Of IA
cents a gallon upon rectlfed whisky.
In 1906 | introduced an amendment
to the pure food act forbidding the
manufacture Of rectiied whisky with
out branding it as such, and spoke in
favor Of that amendment. When Mr..
Beckham imposes a little tax of IA
cents a gallon he is a'hero, and when
/ attempt to abolish the business | am
a serf and a tool My whole life as a
public servant stamps as utterly false
the charge that | voted against the
Webb bill from fear Of the liquor In
terests. You have before you the
same proof that Clay was a slave to
the abolitionists, that Benton was a
traitor to the people Of Missouri and
that Davis was the secret emissary OF
the north that is here offered as proof
Of my subservience to the whisky trust.
On June S, 1896. there was introduce
ed in the Twenty-fourth congress
resolution almost identical in charac-
ter and purpose with the Webb-kenyon
bill This resolution was intended to
prevent the shipment of abolition lit
erature into the slave states. At that
time It was unlawful to sell or expose
for sale any book or pamphlet attack
ing the institution of chattel slavery,
the only difference between these two
prevent the shipment Of Objectionable
literature into a state prohibiting its
publication and the other was design
ed to prohibit the introduction of liz
uor into a state prohibiting its sale.
Benton. Davis. Webster and Clay all
refused to support the resolution on
the ground that it was palpably un-
constitutional Mr.. Beckham has the
same right to charge Webster with
prevarication. Benton with cowardice.
Clay with subservience to the aboli-
tionists of the north and Jefferson
Davis with treason to the southern
states to whom he gave the best en-
ergies of his life and for whom he en-
dured the cares of Office, the perils OF
war and the pain and privations of
Imprisonment.

Justice Neil on Webb Bill.

Mr. Beckham says, "Of course it Is
constitutional and no court of COM
petent or final jurisdiction will ever
decide it otherwise" The courts of
many states have repeatedly declared
this act unconstitutional or imperative
Just sixteen days before he blandly
assured us that no court ever had or
ever would question the constitutional
ity Of the Webb-Kenyon bill, in the
city Of Nashville and in the prohibl-
ton state of Tennessee, the chief jus
tice of the supreme court of the COM
monwealth in the case of Walter o. Paler
versus the Southern Express company
said:
1.-The general contention of the COM
plainant may be thus summarized: That
certain provisions of the act are void I'M
der the constitution Of the United States
because they regulate interstate COM
merce: . THAT THE RECENT ACT
OF CONGRESS KNOWN AS THE
WEBB-K ENYON ACT has no application
to the case and THAT IN ANY EVENT
THAT ACT Is VOID.

ABLE TO PERCEIVE ANY SOUND AN

~ well established is the proposition that
the right TO send liquors from one state

denies such a right or substantially inter-

Wilson's cablnet On Webb siIL

Does any man believe that Woodrow
Wilson would take into his official fam
lily, would intrust with grave and respon-
sible duties involving the security and
honor of his party and his country a
cowardy and subservient tool Of the
liquor interests? Mr.. Beckhom has the
same right to charge the president with
packing his cabinet with emissaries Of the
whisky trust as he has to charge me with
being such an emssary. Three members
OF the federal congress who voted on this
measure are now in the presidents cabi-
net, and out Of the three two Of them vot-
ed against il because they believed II to
be unconstitutional. Hon. W C.. sRedheld,
secretary of commerce and labor and
Hon. A. s. Burleson. now postmaster gen
eral Of the United States, voted just as
did when | did and for the same reason

Webb Bill Unconstitutional.

The sage OF Monticello, with the audac-
ity of genius turned his back upon all the
precedents and fine spun tallacies of 1000
years of civilization. lie took a man,
simple citizen, endowed him with inherent
and inalienable rights, clothed him with
all power and authority, crowned him with
a ballot, and the trembling monarchs OF
the world covered before the towering
creation Of this mighty American.
This plan, original and sublime In it's
severe simplicity Crystallized into law
became the priceless legacy Of succeeding
generations, "the sheet anchor OF our lib
critics" the constitution OF the United
States.
The constitution is the only enduring
barrier to the ambition OF rulers. the ar
rogance Of courts. the excuses OF popular
assemblies swayed by the passions and
prejudice OF the hour. II is the sanctuary

EVIL EFFECTS OF MOON RAYS
Scientists Admit az = Fact Whit Has
Long Been Regarded al Mere
Superstition.

Moon rays are said to make men
go blnd and mad, and to turn food
stun bad. There is even quoted by
the London Lancet a death the cause
OF which was officially stated to be
exposure to moonlight. Apparently
the food most seriously affected by
the moons 1adiattons is fish, and
seemingly trustworthy statements
have been made as to the Ill effects
produced in persons who had partak-
en- OF fish which had been freely ak.
posed to moonlight. q. q. Bryant,
writing from Port Elizabeth. South
Africa. suggests that q possible expla-
nation might lie In the well-known
TACT that the light Of the moon, being
reelected light, is more or less polar
lied, and possibly polarized light may
exert q peculiar chemical action. Pc
larized light was obtained by him
from = powerful metallic flament
lamp. the light being polarized by
means Of q pile Of sheets Of plate
glass backed with silver and placed
at he correct angle. The experiments
showed certain marked results when
hsh was submitted to this light. When
two slices cut from the same fish were
hung, n In the direct light and the
other In the polarized beam Of light,
the latter invariably began to de-
compose before the former. though
h temperature OF the polarized
beam was several degrees lower than.

MAN GUIDED BY HIS IDEALS
If Clean and Definite, Success in Life
May Be Said to Be Assured
From the Start.

A human being without ideals is as
worthless as a ship without a rudder.
AS surely and confidently as does the
rudder guide the ship, so do clean,
definite ideals guide and shape and
complete a successful career
There is never any progress without
an objective point.
II you are building a business, and
have carefully formulated honest
ideals toward which you are to pro.
coed, there can be small question as
to your success. Failure may mark
the way, but your ideals will keep
you In the right direction where ulti,
mate winning is certain to be reach
ed.
AS soon as you learn the ideals of a
man, you know the man.
1t is impossible to find a really
great man or woman or business that
does not literally reflect in all direc.
tions. for every worthy ideal seems
to be gifted with millions OF rejecting
rays.
We are each Of us responsible to
society and the world in general for
our ideals.
Worthy ideals, earnestly sought and
sincerely carried out, credit a man on
INTO p~osterity, but unworthy ideals
ciscredit and unharness a man here
ana now. Formulate your ideals with
others IN mind. Measure moi success
in the immediate, Make your ideals
SO nigh that they will o only lead
you on and up, but all about you.

Thursday, August 9th is to be
the Fruit and Flower day for Bon
!, Homma county school girls. This
| will be held in connection with the
annual normal institute and W.
M. MAR, of the state college, will
be present to give demonstrations
to the girls On the subject of can
ming and preserving fruits. Suit
able prizes will be offered to the
girls exhibiting the choicest speci-
mems OF fruit and the best collec-
ton of flowers.
There were but five applicants
for First Grade Certificates last
week. We were considerably dis
appointed in this matter because
we know that it is impossible to
argue with school patrons for bet.
ter wages when the teachers as a
class do not show sufficient pro-
fessional spirit in the matter per.
tanning to certiication. A first
grade certificate is practically a
life certificate in that it is renew
able time after time SO long as its
possessor continues as a success
full teacher. !
The annual program given by
first four grades of the Tyndall
city schools was rendered before a
large and appreciative audience
last Friday evening. The teachers
in charge were Mrs. Everhart and
the Misses Merrill, Dresselhuys
and Mitchell. The event was in
celebration of Washington's birth
day and the program consis ted of
folk lore songs and drills. Each
teacher is deserving of much credit
for the careful training which the
pupils exhibited during the even
ing. The proceeds will be used to
enlarge the school library.
We ran across an interesting
humor The other day and it was
not found on,the childrens' page of
the Ladies' Home Journal either
Here it is:
Teacher-How old is your boy,
Johnnie?
Patron-His birthday comes the
26th day of January and he will
be seven years old on the 9th OF
February.
This little incident is not the
product of a fertile imagination, |
but is founded absolutely on fact.

ment that one half the teachers IN

CLIMBING UP SUCCESS LADDER.
Darlington Wiser and Fred Miller Make
Good with Linotype Plants

1t is always a pleasure to note the
success of those trades union;sts of any
craft who leave the ranks and engage
in business for themselves, and it is
going to be the happy lot of The Bulle-
tin from time to time to say o kind
word for those who are making good,
without cost.
Carrington Wiser, of the Rapid Brief
Printing Company, is an old union
printer who was washed out of Gal
weston, Texas, by the flood and came
to Denver and worked at his trade of
linotype operator and printer, and was
good workman. Tiring of that mode
of life he secured Merganthaler and
proceeded. He had q number of years
of hard shedding and now has fine
plant of three uP-to-date machines; has
lots of business, and can take day
off without fear of going to the poor
house.
Another printer who grew tired of
drawing a pay envelope each week is
Fred G. Miller, who has the big linotype
plant at williamson -Haffner's. He for
merly worked in the government print
ing office at Washington. was trans
ferred to the same in Manila and made
circuit of the globe in the doing. The
complexion or order of the bellies of that
section didn't suit him, SO he came to
Denver some years ago, liked the town.
worked while at the trade, branched
out for himself on a shoestring and now
signs the checks for number of work.
men.
All of which goes to prove that nerve.
sticktoitiveness and fair dealing will
make any man succeed. Success to
friends Wiser and Miller and may many
men of other trades follow their exam
pie.
