VARDAMAN'S HEALTH?

!. The anti-Vardamanp press is very much disturbed over the
failing of the former Senator's health, which, it is said, has not
been good lately. On the other hand, not a few of his enthusi-

Therein lies the supreme folly of mot a few of his enthusi-

coupled with a disposition to stand by him regardless of his
mental deficiencies and his political inconsistencies. Notwith-
standing his proven inability to get out of a very limited intel

publican Senators on party issues, and Notwithstanding the fact
that no Senator ever sincerely attributed to him any element of

Much writing makes most men think serious, long thoughts.
Inc newspaper game carries awful responsibilities. It is a
terrific life to the one who really wants to serve his day and
generation Wel-and most newspaper men want to do that.
Indeed we believe that 90 per cent of humanity wants to render
a good account of its earthly stewardship, but as already in

one at the Judgment bar makes editors strive all the more for
the right. M.
But what rewards does the editor get here below who has a
spine, and who cannot be bought or bullied? His ninety and
nine newspaper kindnesses and deeds are forgotten in the one
failure or one disagreement. And while this, for the moment,
sometimes makes his heart bleed and staggers his faith, yet the

not give a d-m. Still ever and anon Shakspeares words as to

JAP PEARLS.

A small speck of sand gets inside

noys the oyster, like a cinder in your

substances, covering the sand with
many coats. That makes the pearl.
Japs are fooling the oysters-open-

But leading jewellers in Maiden
Lane, New York, announce that these
artificial pearls lack lustre and can
be easily distinguished from the real
thing, by an expert.
If the Japs perfect their process,
pearls will be cheap. Then no one
will want them. Why do we all have

SHOCKING, IF TRUE.

On Friday night, June IS, there was a big law
ana order meeting of jackson citizens. The meeting was made
up o many Il the best citizens and leading business factors of
Lnatc ety. FROM newspaper reports there was manifested a
E[yStahzed determination to capture the boot-leggers and run
She gamblers out of Jackson. Many citizens made talks giving
1helr views on the righteousness of the boot-legger business and
ne eVlS growing out OF 1t. But DR.. j. P. Wall, a prominent
surgeon and one of the owners of the Jackson Santorium. is
creoteo with having made a statement that is shocking, if true,
yer What ne states Is In absolute accord with conditions as
oeIlcted almost all over the land, as a result of mothers and
fathers allowing their daughters to do promiscous auto-riding
at all hours of the night.
Or. Wall is reported in the Daily News as follows: "Young
slrls come to him every week, he declared, to get him to use his
surgical skill to get him to negative the results of midnight
parties where the participants were drinking liquor"
All OF which brings up the question that is being asked all
