AGAINST BOOZE.
THE Medical Society of Detroit,
composed of practically every ply
stefan of good standing in that city,
voted last Monday in favor of prohi-
bition. In explaining to a reporter for
the Detroit Journal why the society
did this, DR.. Hugh Harrison said:
ain the United States six hundred
thousand persons die annually from
alcohol, more than are killed by wars.
year in and year out. But physicians
don't need statistics to show them the
terrible evils of alcohol and the saloon.
We see it every day. The awful
crimes committed against their child
rem by men who drink are too ter
rible TO brood over. The moderate
drinker is weakening himself to an
extent that his children may be born
without a fair physical or mental
chance in life. Such children die at
the first attack Of disease"
There is a large Significance in this
vote Of the Detroit doctors. The ply.

In the petition Mr.. Acuff states
that on the fourth day of last May,
while employed as a switchman in the
yards here, he was caught between the
switch engine and a freighet car and
received injuries which incapaciated
him from work. He states that his
left leg was broken and crushed. his
right leg bruised and his back wrench

THE MExICn CARNIVAL

WHEN the business men Of a town
go into partnership with a collection
of travelling side shows to hold up their
neighbors and farmer friends they
certainly must be in dire need of the
cash or in ignorance as to what the
public calls entertainment. II is a
plain insult TO the public for any
town TO employ the talent Of a car
nival company for the purpose Of
their entertainment and it is a great
er insult for them to enter into a con-
tract with one of these companies for
the per cent Of the cash they swindle
from the public. Whenever these
companies come TO town and are pat
ronized they carry away thousands Of
dollars from a community and 'eave
much less than a mail-order house Of
which these same merchants are 50
opposed. The most noticeable thing
hat a carnival company invariably
leave in their trail is the art of gamb-
ling which nearly every young boy in
the community becomes an expert. -
Ma~rtinsburgg Oracle.
As a matter Of fact, the Mexico
Street Fair was not just what il was
expected to be by the citizens Of Mex
leo. The carnival company seems to
have been all right, and the trouble
was that We should have had a lot Of
first-cIass free attractions.
The best carnival Mexico ever had
was the first one, when there were
several high class free attractions,
and a splendid exhibit of farm pro-
ducts with no side shows. That is the
kind Of street carnival the Ledger and
most Of the people Of Mexico have al
ways wanted.
Mexico is going to have Fall Fes-
t~ivities every year and we believe that
in the future the Objectionable features
will be done away with. You know
We live to learn. and experience is a
dandy teacher.
