Governor Hooper of Tennessee has
said: eff 1 could sink one thought
deep into the minds of the people
it would be the truth that there can
I've no peace between the whiskey in
terests and the law until the law has
completely triumphed. The whiskey
traffic is essentially lawless. If you
regulate it it violates the regulation.
If you segregate it sneaks across the
forbidden line. 1t sells to minors
and drunkards in violation of the
law and opens the back door when
the front door is ordered closed.
When we had the legalized saloon it
was the center of lawlessness. 1t
was the curse of the rich and the
poor, the high and, the low. 1t de-
based manhood, defled womanhoodi
and filled the state with widows, or
phans and outcasts."

FED HIS HENS ON PEROxIDE.
Now He Has One Old Rooster Left.
Wanted to Make Eggs White.

John B. Cramer, president of the
board of education of Pennyan, N.
Y, had a fine flock of chickens he
wanted to sell. He was told by a
prospective purchaser, who looked at
some of the eggs, that they were not
white enough for the New York mar
ket, to which he was shipping.
A friend advised him that small
doses of peroxide of hydrogen fed in
water or mash would aid his hens to
produce eggs of the proper degree of
whiteness. He tried the experiment
and the eggs grew whittier, but not
fast enough to suit him. He then in
creased the doses, but his hens soon
stopped laying eggs of any color, and
week ago one of them died. In a
few days all that was left of the flock
was one old rooster.

Great moral issues take their rise
in such nebulous, uncertain things
as a mist.
No bigger than mans hand is the
little, fleecy cloud when it first ap-
pears, just a speck floating in the
ethereal blue. Little, yagrant wisps
of mist, condensed from the unseen
vapors that passed from the earth to
the cooler atmosphere above, have
collected to form it. Gathering size
and form as it approaches the zenith
the cloud grows denser and more
threatening until it blots out the
sun. Like the rustling of the winds
in the mulberry trees is the murmur-
ing of the rising breeze. The wealth

Darker and darker it grows. Omi-
and then a faint flashing of lightning
appears on the horizon. The heav-
ems are enveloped in inky black
ness. Louder and louder thunderS
heavens artillery until its crash and
roar are continuous. Corruscating
flashes illumine the skies. Nature
bows before the fury of the tempest.
Man fears. From horizon to horizon
is no sign of blue, everywhere terri
flying evidence of natures power.
And then the torrent! The gates
of heaven are opened. The waters
rush as in a flood. They overflow the
old channels and make for them
selves new courses. They break down
distractions, they tear up existing
things, they change the face of the

At the dedication of the Evans
monument, in Boston, DR.. D. G. Will
COX said: 1.-The dispensing of alcohol
by retail is no longer question OF
temperance and morals alone; it is
a question of public health and pub

and like all other preventable dis
eases it must and shall be eradicated.
1t behooves physicians, preachers, ed

IN SHADOW OF GALLOWS IS YEARS
Mrs. Edwards, Who Was Convicted
With Negro For Numbering Hus-
band, Freed by Gov. Tener.


READING, Pa.-Mrs. Kate Ed
wards, who has been in the shadow
of the gallows for nearly thirteen
years for the killing of her husband,
was released from the Berks county
jail today under a pardon granted by
Governor Tener and secretly taken
from the city to begin life over
again. She was convicted of first de-
gree murder in 1901 and sentenced
to be hanged, but four governors de-
clined to fix day for her execution.
After her conviction petitions were
circulated in many parts of the coun-
try and were signed by thousands of
women protesting against the execu-
ton.
Refused Communication.
Mrs. Edwards case was several
Zines taken to the board of pardons,
0ut Communication of sentence was al
ways refused. Last month, however,
the board recommended she be par
doned, provided she would not be
victim of notoriety. She was releas-
ed before dawn today. 1t is believed
she will be taken to Philadelphia,
where she will be placed in an insti-
tuition. She is nearly 60 years old.
Mrs. Edwards was convicted of the
murder along with negro who was
employed with her husband in a
quarry. The husband was found dead
with his head battered in.
She later confessed that the engro
was innocent of the crime and he
was granted a new trial and acquit-
ted.

Contrary to the German report that

an actual invasion of German terri

that an increase in the number of

Malloy was charged with having
murdered Prentiss Moore in Marlboro

death sentence for murder was in
1iCted by hanging. Before his trial
the State passed a law changing the
manner of imposition from hanging
to electrocutiOn. Malloy's attorneys
contend that he can not be hanged
now because that method of punish
ment was abolished and that he can
not be clectrOcuted because that
would be imposing an additional pun
lshment on him and therefore, would
make the law lex post factO" within
the meaning Of the constitution.
