CARMACK ON SALOON PROBLEM
Believes Time For Halfway Meas
ures in Dealing With Whis
key Power has Passed
The following letter from Sena
tor E. W. Carmack of Tennessee
on the whisky problem, was re
cently published in the Memphis
T\ews-Scimitar:
‘‘I am heart and soul in s.vmpa- j
thy with the efforts of the Anti-.
Saloon League to rid the country !
of the wholly pernicious influence
of the saloon. 1 believe that we !
Lave come to the parting of the
ways with the whisky power and
that the time for half-way meas
ures has passed. The saloon lias j
tunned away its day of grace and
must be dealt with henceforth as
and incorrigible offender against
society. Whenever it has been
demonstrated that any business is
essentially injurious to public
morals, the public peace, the pub
lic health, or in any way to the
public welfare, such business
should come under the condemna
tion of the law.
“There are, of course, honorable
exceptions, but the rule is that
the saloon is an habitual lawbreak-1
er; disregarding repeated and sig
nificant warnings, it continues to,
be a center of political corruption
and to display a pernicious activity
in putting or keeping in office men
who will protect it in its unlaw- j
ful practice. There must be some
thing vicious in a calling which,
even to save its own life, cannot
separate itself from criminal asso
ciations.
“The absurd contention is often
made that the abolition of the sa
loon would injuriously affect the
prosperity of the community.
There are some arguments repug
nant, to reason that they do not
need the refutation of experience.
"Wealth is produced by the hand I
ai:d bruin of man, and whatever
impairs the effectiveness of both !
mind and body is a destroyer of
wealth. The tattered vagabond
wallowing in the gutter adds noth
ing to the wealth of the commun
ity, and neither does the man who
puts him there.
“The saloon, by its insolence,
its arrogance, its persistent law
lessness, has forced the issue upon
ti e people, and the people must
meet it. It refuses to be reform
ed; it must therefore be destroyed.
It has proclaimed by its conduct
that it would rather die than obey
the law. In doing so, it has left
but one course for self-respecting
ar.d law-respecting people.

SELECTING SEED
Selecting seed corn and seed cot
ton in the field is the ripest oppor
tunity of the year to take old Fath
er Time by the forelock and lead
him in ways we desire him to
tread next season. Do not wait
for crib selection of field corn.
The type of cotton or corn stalk is
worth as much in selecting seed as
type of boll and ear.—Farm and
Ranch.

THE SPEECH HE DIDN’T MAKE
A few years ago during a very
exciting congressional campaign a
man famous as an after dinner
speaker, agreed to deliver an ad
dress in behalf of a certain candi
date. He was a man of great
dignity and beloved to what has
come to be known as the “silk
stocking crowd" that is to say,
lie parted his hair in the middle
and sometimes wore a full dress
suit. It seemed the irony of fate,
therefore, that he should be intro
duced to a lot of Irish section
hands in a small, stuffy room as
the orator of the evening. The
introduction over, the “orator”
bowed, smiled and began:
“Mr. Chairman and fellow citi
zens—”
<io it oia sport, .veiled an en
thusiast in the front row.
The “old sport’’ forgot his
speech then and there. Seeking
to collect his scattered wits, he
poured out a glass of water, de
liberately drank it off and slowly
and impressively wiped his lips
with a very large and immaculate
handkerchief. Clearing his throat
he began again, this time with
great dignity:
“Mr. Chairman and fellow citi
zens- ”
But memory was Still tickle.
The carefully prepared speech
simply refused to come to mind.*
Therefore he took another drink.
Trying for the third time, he
had no better success, and as his
hand once more began to move
toward the glass, a small, squeaky
voice, which cut the air like a
knife shrilled from the rear of the
room:
“Take him to the lake I”
The speech was never delivered.

BRAIN LEAKS.
(From Bryan’s Commoner:)
No one ever wins by merely
wishing.
A clear conscience is a good cure
for insomnia.
The re pen tent prodigal never
criticises the bill of fare.
The wages of sin is death, and
the ghost never faiis to walk.
A task approached with dread
is usually doubtfully performed, j
A whole lot of men who think
they are independent are merely
stubborn.
Men who have the easy jobs are
the ones who have tackled the hard
work first.
Men who have succeeded best as
leaders have had long training as
followers.
Heaven would be a lonesome
place if salvation depended on do
ing instead of trying.
It is a mistake to think you draw
nearer to God by getting away
from your neighbors.
When you start out to look for
trouble it is a waste of energy to
take a microscope along.
Children move in the right di
rection much more readily when
led than when merely directed.
If the average man were as big
as lie imagines himself to be the
world would be awfully crowded.
How often you hear it said of
some professional man: “He is a
mighty smart man, but he drinks
so hard.” The latter part of the
quotation gives the lie to the first.
ARKANSAS DIAMONDS |
What has been declared to be
rough diamonds have been found j
in Pike county, in a vicinity j
where old lava, pumice and other!
evidences of a volcanic eruption
were declared to exist by a state
geologist some years ago. It is
stated that the stones found were
declared by a New York expert to
be diamonds of a tine grade. A
company has been organized to,
prospect the field. |
SALUTATION TO THE MAYOR
Whole Town Greets Chief Executive
in the Same Democratic
Fashion.
Every morning a image
drawn by two spirited horses |
dashes up to the Buffalo city
hall, writes Isaac F. Marmsson |
in World’s Work. A man with
white hair and heard and weal
ing a silk hat and frock coat
steps out. A newsboy rushes up
to hold the door and says:
“Good morning, ‘J. X.’’’
“Good morning, lad,” says the
man. Then In* steps briskly into
the big gray building. It is long j
before eight o’clock and the i
scrubwomen are washing the j
tile floors. As they see him they
sav:
<4
V
i
‘“Good morning. ‘.T. N.’ ”
“Good morning, ladies,” is the j
reply. It is too early for the ele- ‘
vators to he running and he goes
up the steps to the second floor
and enters a stately room hung
with portraits of Grover Cleve
land and other mayors of Buf
falo. Here a group of people—
peddlers, hucksters, merchants—
is already waiting and they, too,
greet him as “J. X.”—familiarly
but with respect.
“*T. N.” is James X. Adam, the
new mayor of Buffalo. Nobody 1
there bothers to address him or
to refer to him by his full name;
it is always “J. X.” Vet for 2o
years that name has been linked
with the highest commercial in
tegrity of the city and today it
has come to be a symbol for effi
cient city government.
Formerly tin* saying in Buffalo
was; “Go to M. X.' and get your
money's worth.” Now it is:
“Go to ‘.T. X.’ and get a square
deal,” and tin* people get it. ITe
has made a fortune in business
with dean hands; he has
achieved success in politics with
out being a politician.
Re has sacrificed a well-earned
leisure and comfort for the du
ties of an office that In* has made :
the busiest and most fruitful
perhaps in its history. Under
him the municipal government!
has become a great business
establishment with the citizens
as stockholders. There are no
“insiders."
