If you don’t believe the world is

old pessimist.
The Journal has been asked if Taft
is a Roman Catholic. It has been
asserted that he is. but we do not know.
Who ran give us the desired informa

What difference should it make
whether a man’s grandfather served
on the bench as a judge or a shoe
maker, just so the man himself is all
right?
The Commercial Appeal is making
a desperate fight against the state
wide prohibition movement in Tennes
see. There are now only five towns in
Tennessee in which the sale of liquor
is permitted, ami it safe to orediet that
the Commercial Appeal will find itself
hopelessly in the minority after the!
battle is over.

DR. LAWTON ON PROHIBITION
Thinks it the Most Important Matter
Now Before the Public
Mr. Editor: I want to give three
cheers for the Jackson county Democ
racy, and also for the citizens of
Batesville.
The former should be eulogized for
the step they took in their county con
vention on state-wide prohibition. And
although our county did not pass such
a resolution, we will have two good
men in the legislature who will assist
in carrying out the movement for state
wide prohibition. Our senator, too.
judging from his acts in the last legis
lature. can 1h> depended upon along
the same line. Edmondson in the sen
ate and Thompson and Brown in the
lower house will make a good, strong
team on prohibition.
Why has Batesville not. taken steps
to rid herself of the. nuisance it' her
midst long ago? Just why the people
of our county seat, with all their in
telligence and refinement, have allow
ed the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cants to continue so long' in their*
midst, is a mystery to many thinking
people. It seems strange that two
such benevolent institutions as the
I Odd Felloe Orphans Home and the
Masonic Orphans Home should he lo
cated where, such baneful influences
exist. I am told there are over a hun
dred children in the Odd Fellows Home,
depending upon the charities of that
noble institution, which makes it a
home indeed for the children. But it
is sad to think that they should be
raised under the baneful influences
that exist so near them, when it might
have l>een abolished long ago by a
special act of the legislature prohrting
the manufacture or sale of intoxicants
with a radius of, say, ten miles, or
better still, within Independence coun
ty.
Now let Batesville take the initia
tory step next fall and start a petition
in every township in the county, ask
ing tiie legislature to enact a law pro
hibiting the manufacture or sale of in
toxicants of any kind in Independence
county.
But, you say, we will have state
wide prohibition. That is all true,
hut a local law will not interfere with
that.
No doubt we will have a state-wide
prohibition law soon after the legisla
ture assembles, and then an act pro
viding for ;m amendment to the consti
tution prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of intoxicants in the state.
But we cannot rely upon the Anti
Saloon League. The people\nust take
hold of the matter themselves. Mr.
Tabor, the state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, is quoted assay
ing that he believes Mr. Donaghey
will give the temperance people a fair
deal. I suppose he meant by that that
he would treat them respectfully.
Mr. Donaghey will be' compelled to
treat the temperance people with re
pent. When the Democratic state con
vention meets, it will be bound to
adopt a state-wide prohibition plank
in the platform, or some other party
will do it.
But it will not stop there. When
the national convention meets in Den
ver. it will be petitioned to put a pro
hibition plank in the platform, and if
they refuse, the Prohibition party will
put out a strong Southern man for ,
president.
There are already four Southern
itates under prohibition laws and the
Mhers are rapidly falling into line.
Arkansas will lie the next state to
pass a state-wide prohibition law.
W. P. Lawton.
OKLAHOMA BREEZES
We are getting out a paper under
litticttlties today. We had just gotten
;he press out of the hole in the floor
'hich had given way under it when a
fust of wind came through the crack j
md sent the stove sliding1 across the j
'oorn. We got that chained down just:
is another blast of wind blew the office !

TAX PAYING TIME EXTENDED
The time for paying taxes without >
he penalty expired last Friday, the j
Oth, but Collector Gray requests The j
Journal to announce t^at, owing to
he high waters, which has perhaps
>revented some from getting to Bates
’ille, he will extend the time until
Saturday, April 25tli.
Parties who have not paid their
axes can pay until-that time without
he penalty, but after that date the 25
ter cent } «aalty will be added.
MANY INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE
ADOPT WW THEORY
Statements from Followers of Cooper Ob«*
tamed Recently in Various Cities.
A number of statements from promi
nent people located in various cities
where the widespread discussion over
L. T. Cooper's new theory regarding
the human stomach has recently
waged, give an idea of the intense in
terest the young man has aroused dur
ing the past year. The statements are
as follows:
Mr. C. D. Mitchell, of 2412 Avenue
C, Birmingham, Ala., has this to say
with regard to his belief in Cooper’s
medicine: “I have been troubled with
indigestion aurl stomach trouble for
the past year. I had heartburn, bloat
ing after eating, gas on stomach and
bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain
in the lower part of my back, and
various other symptoms, and was a
victim of much distress. I tried many
remedies, but received little or no
benefit from them. I was advised to
try the Cooper preparations, and did
so. In one week’s time I was im
proved wonderfully—the first relief I
; had been able to obtain. Mr. Cooper's
| medicine does all he claims for it.”
Mr. J. O. Spradling, of 705 South
Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, Colo.,
says: “I was troubled with indigestion
for two years. It caused me a great
deal of suffering and misery. I did
not dare to eat meat at all, and every
thing I did eat soured on my stomach.
I tried various remedies, but found no
relief. Three months ago I started
taking Cooper’s New Discovery, end
after using the contents of three bot
tles I was entirely cured. I can now
eat and relish anything that my appe
tite craves. The New Discovery is
truly a great stomach medicine.”
Mr. Wm. Codier, of 408 Qraves
Street, Syracuse, N. Y., is very strong
in his expression of belief in the new:
medicine, and has the following to say
on the subject: “I have suffered from
catarrh of the nose and throat for four
years. It must have beSfi communi
cated to my stomach, for all this tim»
my stomach has given me a great deal
of trouble, and caused me much pain
and suffering. My stomach was often
sour, and my food did not digest. I
was bothered by a continual desire to*
spit, and there was a constant drop
ping of mucus Into the throat.
“The first relief i have been able t®
obtain is from Cooper’s New Discov
ery, which I have been taking fotr
about a week. My catarrhal condition
has been greatly improved and my
stomach is almost well. Mr. Cooper’s
medicine has benefited me more than
anything I have ever used.”
These statements are from reliable
citizens in various communities wh®
have tried these celebrated medicines.!
We sell them and will gladly explain
their nature to any one interested,

And seek a shad in a deep, dark hole.

But here come Bro. Kelley’s coffee pot.

Intakes more than legs to beat Tom T.
Jones thought he would take a little run
But the count says Jones just got one.
Jim Garner’s voice is weak and lower,
He comes whispering along, I just got

Uncle Bill then went on the track %
To give Tom T. a great big whack.
Tom’s the man that won the light,
What’s the reason you don’t treat him
right? — J. Qualls.
