M0ki31g Best of it

IT is my custom when I have
L. pulled some fearful mistake to
smile cheerfully at my partner and
remark: We'll, after all, it's only
a game What's the swing of a
few thousand points between
friendS?"
Unfortunately this doesn't work.
My bland acceptance of the bludge-
oning of fate and forgetfulness
merely drives any luckless associate
bit more frantic. And yet I'm
right. 1t is a game, and a hundred
years from now the world hardly
will remember whether held the
spade or the diamond
Something of the bitterness OF
bridge must be set down as newt
able because of the natural cussed-
ness of man. But I would indict
the experts for fostering and cult
waiting this spirit in contract. It is
their stock in trade to set up the
illusion that social disgrace and
ostracism are the fruits of incorrect
bidding and unscientific play.
They have taken up where the
mouth wash man left off. Indeed,
they have gone a step farther by
insisting that even your best friends
will tell you if you bungle on q
two-demand bid.
But we need not pay much atten-
ton to them, for it is all too obvious
that they themselves have not at
tanned serenity and peace Of mind
and love for all mankind.
I intend to go on playing just ss
badly as do now, although I sd-
NIT that it may take a considerable
effort to maintain this standard.
And I'm afraid I shall have TO
give up golf. I broke the course
record again yesterday. I'm getting
much too good.

WEDNESDAY, july 10. 1888.
10 TO 0

EVEN Dixie! Down where they liked their
~ liquor but talked dry, the prohibitionists
promised to stop the repeal wave. They failed
Alabama and Arkansas have jumped into the
wet column, along with every other state that
has voted so far-whether east, west, north,
or south.
The score now is 18 to o. Repeal has
eighteen more TO go for the necessary thirty
six states. Victory is certain.
When? That is the only question If the
drys can delay action in enough states, repeal
may be put off until 1884 or 1885. But that is
improbable.
The dry delay tactics failed in Ohio and
Missouri. Evasve methods are close TO failure
also in Virginia, Colorado, Oklahoma and Ken
tucky-au of which are expected to vote this
year.
In addition to those four probable states,
the number which have voted Or fixed dates
total thirty-flve. In two more-Utah and
Montana-the Governors have power to fix
dates. That makes a possible total of forty
one states to vote this year.
With forty-one states, even tbirty-nine,
voting this year, the chances Of ratifying the
repeal amendment before Christmas are very
good indeed In fact after the example Of
Alabama and Arkansas, the drys can not be
certain of single state. Tennessee doubtless
will bolt the drys Thursday.
The basis of the repeal landslide is, of
course public recognition of the failure and
folly of the prohibition experiment. Two other
causes have operated. One is the depression
deficit and tax burden, and the need of rev.
enue from now tax-exempt bootleg liquor.
The other is the pressure of President Roose-
velt on Democratic Governors and party
leaders in the once arid areas of the west and
south.
When historians come TO the Roosevelt adj
ministration, they are apt TO point to rapid
ratification of repeal as proof Of the Presi-
dents political courage and skill

The physician who examines a
patient with typhoid fever makes his
diagnosis from the history of the
case and from the appearance of the
symptoms and also by careful STU

1t is possible to examine specimens

the use of a test, called the Vidal

covered it, whether the condition
certainly is quite typhoid fever.

enforceable prohibition law shall be
directed into a steady education for
temperance.
Evolution has been in progress
We recovered from a fever Of emo
tionaI insanity that produced the
legal ban on intoxicants. Next we
endured, because Of it, economic
and moral chaos. We suffered racke-
teering and crime and poured
streams of money into the pockets
of raScals.
Now we are ready for temperance.
We want our children to be neither
vets nor drys, but creatures who
can exercise self-control and curb
their appetitss. AS We teach them
not to be gluttons, so we shall teach
them not TO be drunkards.

The Union State bank in RosSville

most generously of contenders in
their own class. Ball players will
admit that the Babe is a marvel

sing the praise of some rival who
is not regarded highly by the public

Hurts Farmer

By Farmer
T SEE that Indianapolis has sad
Il died another tax on the
farmer by passing the poultry
sales tax law.
No doubt, the ordinance will
serve its purpose of pouring more
money into the city treasury, but
it may help defeat the national
purpose OF encouraging the farmer.
The new ordinance forced every
farmer to pay 81 for the privilege
of selling his own poultry produce
on his own land. Retailers, I see,
must pay a tax of $25, and timer
ant peddlers will be assessed 5000.
The whole proposition is, to my
mind, discouraging to the help
the-farmer movement.
If the final goal is to pay the
farmer more for his goods, why
take away the profit in taxes?
This has been the habit of the
state OF Indiana for a long time,
and now comes this localized poul-
try tax.
T. Why pick on the poor man all
the time?
