Branding Drunkards

Recently, some half-baked scribe,
driven to death for copy" wrote a
proposal to end the drink evil by
branding drunkards with the letters
III. d. indicating "habitual drunk
ard
The idiotic suggestion is now go
ing the rounds of the newspapers,
to some extent.
Drunkenness is now almost uni
versally recognized as a disease. In
situations all over the country, both
public and private, have been insti-
tuted to cure this disease.
The newspapers all over the coun-
try carry advertisements OF physic-
ians and institutions who make it
their business to cure this disease.
Medical societies all over the
world are studying methods Of cur
ing the disease.
And while all this is going on,
most states deliberately license sa-
looms to spread this same disease
for a share Of the profit of the bust
ness.
The proposition of branding some
body is alright, but, don't brand the
wrong man. Put brand on the
chump who votes that the business
of spreading this disease be licensed
and protected.
Don't brand the man VINO is so
unfortunate as 10 acquire smallpox
or typhoid or pneumonia or tubercu-
losis. Put the brand on the man
who assists in spreading and propa-
eating these or any other diseases.
Don't brand the victim OF wrong
or crime; put the brand on the
man responsible therefor.

Mrs. E. Van Hood, Editor

lBy Judge A. b. Watkins. OF Texas
Why does the state so abhor the
saloon on election day? Absolutely
one would think il no worse to sell
whisky at one time than at another.
It knows only too we'll that this right
of free men and the sale of drink are
at hopeless war; that the liquor traf-
fic has always been the sworn enemy
of the honest ballot; that to furnish
the voter with whisky would be like
arming a mailman. IL the saloon be
the innocent and harmless thing its
advocates claim, why not unchain it
on election day?
But in spite of these and every 9TH
er precaution, the saloon is today the
gravest menace to an honest vote.
Not content with taking its place in
society as business simply, it is
ambitious to become ruler.
Who ever heard of drug store
ticket at an election. Who ever has
heard of the family groceries, or the
shoe trade claiming the right to
elect their officers?
And yet one hardly need inquire
for any man that ever lived in sa-
loon-ridden county or city that has
not heard of or voted for or against
the saloon ticket"
1t is always there. And from con-
stable to governor those lords of vice
demand that society shall bow to
them. Many have wondered at the
cause and asked why a simple bust
ness should not be satisfied to be
business simply. But the answer is
not far or hard to find.
The saloon seeks the election of
candidates who are willing Or pledg-
ed to do its bidding. 1t is needless
| for another business, for it follows
the law. 1t is necessary for the sa-
loon it defies the law.
Voter
Would you go behind a bar and
| sell liquor? Would you make money
| by supplying drug that you knew
would degrade your neighbor? Would
you personally amass wealth to sup
ply you with which children were
starved and weary mothers toiled
hard for living to the neglect of
their household duties? Would you
be willing to grow rich at the cost
OF the boys made drunkards. girls
driven to the street, homes broken
down and lives wrecked?
If man asked YOU to give him in
writing a declaration OF your APPROX
al Of his carrying on business which
produced results just set out, would
you write such letter for him. even
though he offered you the bribe of
helping to pay your tax bills?
Today, men say to you practically:
Give me your vote in favor of the
barroom system, that / may carry on
a liquor business with nominal re-
Responsibility, will you do it?

Announces Reply to Note OF
Niagara Falls MediatOrS and
Expects to Take Hand.
WILL GRANT NO ARMTTICE,
MediatOrS Are Not Liable To
Let Him In At This Late
Day.

Saltillo, Mexico, June 12.-Gen-
Carranza announced last night that
he had returned an answer to the
note of the Niagara Falls mediators
stating that he would appoint repre-
sentatives to the conference at NJ
agara Falls.
The names Of the representatives
were not made public. The note
gave simply the assurance that the
consti utionalists would be represent
ed and did not mention conditions
on which the constitutionalists would
take part. 1t was announced, how
ever, that the agreement to attend
the conference would not serve to
check the campaign now being waged
against the federals in any respect
and the advance to the south will be
continued with vigor.

Ready For Names.

Niagara Falls, June 12.-In a full
conference of the mediators and the.
delegates of both countries it was
agreed that the transfer of author
ity from the present administration
to the new provisional government
should be accomplished in some other
way than by General Huertas ap-
pontment of minister of foreign
affairs to succeed to the provisional
presidency.
Last nights conference lasted
more than two hours. Names for
provisional president were not mem
toned, but it is expected that at to-
days conference a beginning will be
made in this direction. Another al
most irreconcilable difference Of
opinion exists on the type of man for
the provisional presidency, the Mex
leans arguing for a neutral, " while,
the Americans want an out and out
constitutionalist.
One OF the individuals being talk
ed of informally is General Natera,
commander of the central division of
the cOnstitutionalist army. The Mex
lean delegates have heard that he is
a man of human disposition with no
thirst for loot or executions. Wheth-
err he is fitted for the political task
confronting Mexico is a point on
which there is little information.
Luis Cabrera, confidential adviser
of General Carranza, is another who.
is being favorably considered.

SETTLEMENT
IN SIGHT
Compromise Is About To Be
Reached In The Insurance
Middle.
MUTUAL CONCESSIONS MADE.
Gist Of The Proposition That
May End The Insurance
Blockade.

Louisville, KY, June 12.-Settle-
ment of the Kentucky fire insurance
tangle, caused by the wholesale with
drawal from the state of foreign in
surance companies following enact
ment by the last legislature of the
Glenn-Greene amendment to string
ent state supervision and taxation of
premiums, is predicted as result of
conferences here between represent
atives of several large insurance COM
panies and state officials.
A proposition submitted by the
insurance representatives is declared
by members of the conference to be
satisfactory to the state officials ex-
cept in few minor details, and
probably will receive official approx
al. Under this proposition the in
surance companies agree to the prin-
ciple of state regulation and will
return to the state at once.
The state officials are to suspend
operations of the new law and re-
frain from putting certain heavy
expenses entailed by the law upon
the companies. A test of the consti-
nationality of the measure will be
made.
A commission will be named to
frame a new bill to be introduced at
the next legislature to take the place
of the Zorn law and the Glenn-Greene
amendment. One of these commits
sioners will be named by Kentucky
business organizations. another by
the state insurance board and the
third by the insurance companies
The companies also agree to make
certain reductions in rates in accord
ance with orders issued by the state
rating board.

which have been carried on, that we
heartily indorse the conclusions which
have been reached; that we sincerely

The settlement of the differences
between the State officials and the
Insurance companies doing business
in the State, is a matter that will
cause general satisfaction through
out the State. The fair and conserv-
alive spirit shown by both sides is
greatly to the credit of all concern
ed. The Insurance business of the
State will soop resume its normal
status and a fearful menace to the
property interests of Kentucky will
be removed, at least for the time
being.

church edifice in the city. Rev. B.
d. Thomas was supply here for a
year, but there is no record of his
ministry in the Seasonal records.
Rev. F. G. Strahan came as Stated
Supply in Oct. 1853. and one of the
interesting relics that the Centennial
Celebration has brought to light is
Pulpit Bible presented to the church
in 1916, and on the margins Of which
Mr.. Strahan noted the texts from
which he preached so that it has been
possible to ascertain the subjects of
his. sermons for almost the entire
time of his ministry.
Rev. H. V. D. Vevius became pas
tor in 1859 and was here during the
entire period of the Civil War, not
leaving until 1867. 1t is worthy to
note that the records Of the church
contain not the slightest hint of the
strife that was being waged. and the
activities of its work show no signs
of interruption.
On July 20. 1876, when the church
was without pastor, was held con-
gregational meeting at which the
congregation, by vote of 20 to Is,
decided to separate, the majority
adhering to the Southern church and
the minority choosing the Northern.
The history of the local church is
closely wrapped up in that of the
Presbytery and Synod, and it played
a large part in the action which final
ly located the majority of the Synod
in the Southern, rather than in the
Northern Assembly. The Sessi n
was evenly divided and exactly what
was the proportion of the member
ship in each church it is impossible
to say, but the vote indicated above
would indicate that it was two to
one. For some years both congre-
cations occupied the building in turn
and it was not until 1879 that the
property was divided.
Rev. H. M. Painter was Stated
Supply from Oct. 1867 to Aug. 1869.
| In May 1870 Rev. Jno. c. Tate be-
gan his ministry here as Stated Sup
ply. and was installed pastor in Oct.
1876. 1t was during his ministry
that Improperly was divided, as in
Dictated above, and. what is W
known as Westminster church was
incorporated under the name of the
Second Presbyterian church, with
C. B. Alexander, c. L. Dade and Jas.
&c. Moore as the incorporators.
On June 81, 1885, Rev. w. l..
Nourse was installed pastor, and
his ministry was the longest and the
I'm os t productive of additions to
membership of any in the history of
the church. The town was thorough
ly aroused by revival meetings under
such men as Sam Jones, D. L. Moody
and others.
From Nov. 1903 to July 1907, Rev.
j. E. Fogartie, d. d., was Stated
Supply and pastor.
The present pastorate, that Of
Rev. c. H. H. Branch, began in Dec.
1907.
While mere figures will not indi-
cate the full work of the church, the
following totals for the Century will
be of interest. AS far as they affect
the membership, they are accurate
for the entire time; in the finances,
it has been impossible to secure re-
ports for some of the years, and the
total would be larger. Infants bap-
tized, 299; adults, 22O; added on GER
