The Sober Man.

This is the day of the sober
man. The man who leads a
clean. honest temperate life may
not be brilliant, but he stands a
far better chance of succeeding
than his more accomplished
brother who chiIls his brain in
drink.
In every walk of life sobriety
counts. There have been men Of
genius who have startled the
world with their wonderful
achievements. This much they
have obtained, how much more
might have been possible had
they led clean and sober lives?
Men of practical business have
found after years of experience
that it is better and safer to have
about them men who are sober
and come to their work with
clear heads than to have experts
who cannot be- reIled upon.
There are poor, deluded men
who think that they can dissi-
pate all night and come to work
next morning They probably
cau, but the lack Of sleep and rest
imposes Natures penalty Their
wits are dulled. Their ability is
handicapped. They are not fit
for the duties before them, and
they are not the only ones who
know this. Their fellow work
ers quickly appreciate the run
down condition, and instead of
feeling Of pity, usually they
have feeling of disgust. because
they too we'll know the cause.
Of course, the keen employer
appreciates a man of brilliancy.
He values his services highly,
but when he must aacept the SER
vices Of such, a man condition
ally, when he sees him stagger
from the path of his duty, he
loses the respect his brilliancy
created.
The plodder may lack native
ability. He substitutes patience,
sobriety and willingness to do
his best.
There can be little question of
choice between the two. One is
a safe investment to the business
men. He may not pay as we'll,
but the pay is sure and certain.
With the other it is not.
This is why sobrlety brings a
premium iu the business world
today.
One thing has been conclusive
" demonstrated. No man can
drink and do good work at the
same time. He must either not
permit drink to interfere with
his business or he must not allow
business to interfere with drink
ing. 1t is another question OF
choice, and he alone must decide.
The sober man need never
want for work. He is sure of a
position somewhere and is pretty
certain to hold i5as long as he
wants it.-Commercial Appeal.

ASK APPROVAL OF
BREWERS TACTICS.
Latest Development in Mis-
sissippi's Political Tangle
Causes Stir at
jackson.

Jackson, Mss, Jan. 22.-The
receipt by different members
of the Legislature of a number
of typewriter letters signed by
constituents, all of the letters
being worded identlcally the same
and apparently written on the
same typewriter, urging law
makers to approve Gov. Brew
er's investigation of the peniten-
tiary and the expense of the
same caused something of a stir
around the Capitol today. Among
the legislators who received such
letters was representa- tative S. M.
Majors of Alcorn county, secre-
tary of the JOINT Legislative inves-
tigating committee, now engag-
ed in probing the affairs of the
penitentiary. Mr.. Nabors gave
one of the letters out for publi'
cation. The letter follows. the
signature being omitted by Ma.
bors.
Il approve Gov. Brewers in
vestigation of the State peniten-
tiary and the expense of same.
I sincerely hope you will assist
him in every way you can and
oblige very much"
Reply ing to this letter, Mr..
Nabors gave out the following
statement:
Ia answer to the above letter.
I desire to say that l have re
ceived in one mail this morning
fifteen letters all Of exactly the
same wording as the above and
seem to have been written on
the same typewriter and signed
by different people. How many
more such letters the next few
mails will bring to me l can't
say. But in answer to these
letters, I wish to say that the
JOINT penitentiary Legislative in
vestigating committee, appoint
ed by the authority of a House
concurrent resolution, is hard at
work endeavorlng in an honest
and honorable way to find out
the true condition of the peni-
tenJiarv affairs.
81 do not believe there is sim
gle man on this committee W no
is at present sufficiently inform-
ed so as to cast an intelligent
vote on the adoption OF the re-
port referred to.
IF any of the gentleman who
have sent me letter Of the
above wording, or any other per-
son have any information which
will be of value to this commit
tee in solving the great problem
before them, [ call upon you in
the name uf the State of Mlssi,-
slppl as secretary of the lnvesti-
gazing committee which conferr-
ed upon me the great RESPONSE
billty of appointing the House
membership of that commllie+,
and on which placed men that
are big enough. broad enough
and honest enough to put aside
all factionalism and bring in a
fair and impartial report to ap-
pear before this committee at
the State expense.
DO your State a great SER
vice by rendering the lnforma-
ton. l shall issue summons for
the parties who have instructed
me now to vote and let them re.
veal 10 the committee the infor-
nation on which they arrive at
concIuson. My decision in the
case will depend upon the facts
and evidence submitted to this
committee.
