LET'S RATTLESNAKE
BITE HIM; IS DEAD
Believed Religious Faith Made Him
Immune.

Tuscumbia. Ala, July IA TO ex-
emplify his faith in hfs religion and
in the power of the Almighty to save
those who put their trust in Him,
Cleveland Harrison, 80 years old, a
citizen of Colbert county, is dead,
after two days of intense seffering
from the bites OF a rattlesnake at
meeting Of the so-called 'Holy Roll
ers" near Tuscumbia last week.
During the evening services the
minister in charge stated there was
in the congregation one who had
such great faith that he would allow
a rattlesnake to bite him, feeling
sure he would be immune from the
poison, as st. Paul at one time was
immune from TIE bite of a serpent.
Harrison came forward and a box
containing a rattlesnake measuring
three or four inches around was op-
ened in. view of the congregation.
Harrison caught the snake just be-
low the neck, and it struck him five
times in rapid succession on the arm
between the elbow and wrist.
The minister stated that there
would be no harm as a result of the
bites. Harrison became i'll at once.

no avail Harrison, VINO was far

Baltimore First Dry Saturday

The Baltimore police courts have
found out that no booze, no work"
signs have come true so far as han
ding the drunks are concerned. Ex-
perience everywhere has proved that
with the going of the saloons go
most of the druuks and very large
proportion of ether criminals.
The Baltimore Sun, in comment
ing upon the first dry Saturday night,
says that the total number of ar
rests made by the police OF the city
was So Marshal Carter, who had
been in the police department for 35
years, and who when as a lieutenant
often recorded as high as 900 cases
at the Eastern Police Station on
single Saturday night, was amazed
at the change brought about by clos
ing the saloons. He admits that he
did not believe the change would be
so quick in the general behavior of
certain classes Of men who had Civ
en- the police an unlimited amount of
trouble. The chief is quoted as say
ing that rs per cent. ofSthe general
work of the police department in re-
cent months involved drunks, disor-
derly persons, assaults and robberies
where whisky was the chief cause.
We have never heard statements of
this kind from these sources before,
and we are glad to know that with
the passing of booze the officers of
the law are brought face to face with
these facts. And no wonder the Off
GERS noticed a change in conditions
when the number of arrests for the
last wet Saturday night was 337.
Quite drop to so, and ONLY FOR
DRUNKENNESS
Where is the man who would say
that it is not much better for a city
to have 287 fewer arrests on a sin
gle Saturday night? Where is the
man who would say it is not a good
thing for 287 homes to be free from
such humiliation and disgrace as has
become commonplace during the
past? True it is that there are few
people whi would make it appear
that this great difference is good
enough and that we should not push
for anything more at the present
time. Such claim, of course, is
made solely to Eelp the brewer. We
do not believe that man who holds
the welfare of his city and its homes
at heart would, for a moment, after
seeing the good effects of partial
Prohibition, want to stop short at
the real kind that will make the Sat
urday night debauchery an entire

Harmony Disturbed
(From the Washington, D. c., Post,
July 6, 1919.)

| (From the Washington, D. c., Post,
July 6, 1919
There seems 10 be slight rift in
the lutte OF Republican harmony in
Congress. Judging from recent de-
bate in the House and Senate, there
exist in both branches differences or
opinion among the leaders as to poll
cies and as to the adaptation of them.
At the beginning of this Congress
when the Republicans took over con
sumed responsibility for legislation,
they announced specific policies upon
which there was concord and declar-
ed these policies would be carried
into effect. Chief among them was
economy in public expenditures,
promise which called forth applause
from the entire country. Retrench-
ment was to be the watchWord; the
public treasury was to be protected;
war expenses were to be reduced.
The House committees on military
affairs and naval affairs in framing
the appropriations for the army and
navy made reductions far below the
estimates of the departments and
gave promise that the policy of econo
my would be carried into effect most
satisfactorily. But when these bills
reached the Senate hundreds of mil
IN iofI addnd IN
them, thus very materially weaken
ing the Republican claim Of econo-
my. And in conference agreements
We're reached with respect to them
which left the perfected bills lower
in their totals than fixed by the Sen
ate, but many millions greater than
the House had voted.
Consequently the conference re-
ports were opposed by Floor Leader
Monde1l and the House witnessed the
spectacle of the Republican party in
Congress very SpiritedIy divided on
the question OF war appropriations,
with the party leader in open critl-
cism of the work of two of the prin-
cipal committees. This lack of har-
mony was the course of great glee for
the Democrats, whose divided ranks
in the previous Congress had been
the theme of frequent and caustic
comment by Republicans.
In the Senate a similar situation
developed when the conference re-
port on the sundIy civil bill was un-
der consideration. The conferees
had eliminated d $4,000 appropria-
ton to pay the expense of an inves-
view to the adoption Of this system
! by Congress-, another of the policies
to which the Republicans had plight
ed their troth. Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, one of the militant liberal Re-
publicans, took occasion to criticize
this omission very pointedly and tc
call attention to the solemn pledge
which had been ignored. He re.
ferred to the summarizing" of this
movement for budget system by
the Old Guard, and intimated it
would be better frankly to state to
the public that the party had no
intention of carrying out it's pledge.
These and numerous other incl
dents cropping ont in the course of
debate indicate lack of complete
unity of purpose among Republicans
which may eventually have an impor-
tant bearing upon the forthcoming
presidential campaign. For if the
