of this country, the farmers, the wage
earners, the merchants and the bank
ers and the manufacturers.
1t is most unthinkable that there
should be in this nation bankers who
have achieved large measure of
prosperity because Of the favors of
Americans, so treacherous and so un-
patriotic that they are willing and
anxious to cripple our business and in
dustries in order that they
may help to perpetuate a militia
ry despotism in the old country. If
their affection is so great for Germa-
ny they should go there and fight its
battles, not remain in this country
and carry on a reasonable conspira-
cy to injure ITS business and prevent
its prosperity. America has a rare
opportunity. If this loan can be float
ed billion dollars will be immediate
ly taken from the overcrowded vaults
of the country and turned loose
among the farmers, the merchants
and the factories. Every one will Sc
cure some of the benefits from this
stupendous expenditure. We have
the products to sell and all that we
need is the market. Opportunity
knocks at our door; it must not be de
feated by unpatriotic hyphenated citi
zens.

UNPAT RIoTlC.

In opposing the proposed loan of a
billion dollars to the allies in Europe
the pro-German element of bankers
show most unpatriotic and un-Amer-
lean attitude, one that is altogether
unworthy Of those who have made a
success in free America. Every dol
lar of the proposed loan will be spent
in America and for products that
American people grow and manufac-
ture. 1t will bring additional prosper
ity to this country. If arrangements
for this loan are baked by the un-
American and reasonable course of
those who love Germany better than
they do the country of their adoption
much of our foreign trade will stop.
America has already suffered from
the upheaval in Europe. The business
of this country, especially of the
South. has been injured by millions
of dollars. II we cannot find any
market for our surplus products there

aid. 1t is convincing. 1t shows by
the record that Senator Lea is the
pioneer among the temperance adVo-
Gates of the state: that he and his
paper have consistently stood for the
great cause at all times and in all
contests.
Senator Webb is a pioneer in the
fight against the liquor traffic in Ten
nessee. Like the Apostle st. Paul he
bears upon his record the marks OF
the contest that he has made for CIV
&c righteousness in Tennessee. 1t has
cost him something to stand for tenn
perance in this state as the people of
Maury county will testify. He is a
competent witness upon the question.
He knows as few men do, who have
been true to the cause, who have
borne its burdens and sacrificed for
II.
Senator LEAFS record as a temper
ance advocate is clear. 1t is such
rs should commend him to all who are
genuinely in sympathy with the
achievements which have been made
for prohibition in Tennessee. II 1t
were not so Lea would never have the
unqualified approval of Sawney Webb.
The very fact that the Grand Old Man
of Tennessee certifies to LEAFS devo
ton to a good cause is sufficient to
convince a large majority Of his good
faith and unfaltering devotion. AS
long as Lea's record commends itself
to veterans of the contest like Sena-
tor Webb assuredly the latter day
converts, who we're never heard from
In the days that tried mems souls,

RECITATION FAILS.

For years, always almost, the IL
quor traffic has been recognized as an
evil. 1t has been placed for a long
time in the category of necessary
evils" as If there could be such a
thing. Everywhere efforts have been
made to minimize the evil. High
license, segregation, strict regulation,
and in fact practically every restric-
ton short of absolute prohibition,
has been tried. But every where
the result has been the same Regu-
lation has failed. tt is traffic that
refuses to yield to regulation; it is
essentially a lawless business.
In South Carolina the people de-
cided to make liquor state mono
poly. Dispensaries, to be strictly
regulated and in fact run by the
sworn agents of the state, were es.
tabished with the hope that thereby
the evils of the traffic might be elm
mated and yet the effort to enforce
absolute prohibition would not have
to be made For more than twenty
years South Carolina has tried the
system. 1t has failed it failed just
as every other effort to regulate tn
traffic in intoxicants has failed.
BY a majority of more than two to
one the voters of the state have de-
clared in favor of state wide prohibit
ton. On and after Jan. the liquor
traffic in any form will be prohibit
ed. The voters realized that while
the dispensary might be decided
on the open saloon 1t
had failed to solve the problem, that
as a matter of fact there could be
no compromise upon the issue. The
people Of South Carolina discovered
just what the voters of Alabama
found out. In the latter state every |
devise was tried, but after all the
people returned to state wide prohi
bition. 1t is the only solution of |
vexatious question.

ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain the
body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
inter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine. but
IN many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next hest
means OF getting rid Of these impuri
ties which often break out all over the

me surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authori-
fy, is to get from any pharmacy about
TOUR ounces Of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of hot water |
each morning before breakfast for one |
week This will prevent the formation
OF toxins in the bowels. 1t also stinh. |

TERRIBLE TURK" IS
NOT 50, AFTER ALL
EXPLORERS FIND THE OTTOMAN
A HosPiTAsLE KIND OF
a PERSON.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-Con
stantinople, metropolis and capital o
the Turk, and Mecca, the sacred cit!
and lodestone of Mohammedan religi
GUS life, are, probably. the two mos
definite conceptions OF the westernel
concerning the Ottoman Empire. He
has thought of the dome-and- -minaret
sprinkled city of Golden Horn as one
whose glories were past. as one few
cred through and through with the
disease of mismanagement, ignorance
and kismet lethargy. He has thought
of it as the husk of a once mighty and
brilliant city.
There are other elements and Other
people in the wide sweep of Ottomali
power, however. In a careful consid
oration Of Asiatic Turkey, prepared by
Stephen van Rensselaer, Trowbridge
lor the National Geographic Society,
the writer advises us to remember
that the individual Turk possesses
many admirable qualities of hospitali-
ty, courage and fidelity that in many
parts of the Ottoman lands in Asia
strong physiques are developed by
rugged country and bracing climate
and strong characters as well. He
continues:
Although still in the dark ages as
regards science, although under the
handicaps of religion which runs
athwart all our modern civilization,
although well-nigh ruined by the
vicious despotism of the Red Sultan
AbdulHamid; although fanatical and
ruthless toward his Armenian and
Syrian subjects, yet it is my strong
conviction that the Turk has in him
good material for manhood. The quail
tiles of fortitude and friendship are
not lacking. The consciousness of
God is in his heart wherever he goes
and whatever he does Among the
peasantry especially there is q Spar
tant spirit of endurance which COM
mands admiration"
The reason that the people of the
West seldom think of the vast lands
n Asia in connection with the Otto
man nation is, Mr.. Trowbridge indi-
'ates, because all fruitful, historic ter.
itory has slept a sleep of centuries
lnder Turkish administration. Con-
has been the sole point of |
contact for a waking outside world. |
In the provinces the Turks have |
'uilt no monuments which will abide" |
ie says. Their seven centuries Of |
have served to demolish |
many stately ruins of ancient archi-
ecture; but as for constructive work
lot even roads and bridges have been
,uilt."

lonal life of vital world interest, are
