In discussing the liquor quest! >.i
in the Commoner Mr. Bryan says
the liquor dealers, recognizing that
1 their very obvious pecuniary interest
f would lessen the weight of any ar
gument which they might publicly ad
vance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting to
represent those who use liquor.
Many, well-meaning men-have been
misled Ifcto believing that every at
tempt to lessen the evils of intem
perance is a "fanatical attack" on
"personal liberty.**
It is time the phrase "personal
liberty" were defined.
What is meant by "personal lib
erty?"
Does it mean that a person oas a
right to drink in any quantity, at
any time, and in any place, no mat
ter what injury he may inflict upou
others? If not, with whom rests
the right to fix limitations?
A drunken man is a menace to
the lives and property of those about
?him; hav?-his- neighbors no-right
to protect themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and chil
dren, and he may finally make his
family and himself a charge upon
society; has society no right to pro
tect itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to the
brothel and the gambling hall; it is
a rendezvous for the criminal eio
ment and the willing tool of the
corrupt politician; has not the body
politic a right to protect itself from
the demoralization which the saloon
works?
The right to drink does not ne
cessarily include the right to de
mand the establishment of a saloon.
The right to drink Is sufficiently
protected by any arrangement that
permits the reasonable use of liquor
under reasonable conditions; and it
must be remembered that the right
to drink, like any other right, can
be forfeited. Nothing is more sa
cred than the right to life, and yet
one may forfeit his right to life If
he uses it in such a way as to threat
en the life of another. So, the man
who drinks to excess may forfeit
the right to drink; even the moder
ate drinker may forfeit the right to
drink In moderation if, not content
with reasonable regulation, he in
sists that liquor Bhall be sold under
conditions that constitute a menace
to the home and the State.
The man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with those
who seek to reduce the evils of drink
to the lowest possible point, instead
of allying himself with those who
ignore the evils of intemperance and
resist every"'effort pub forth for the
protection of society.
Foot Ball.
Several recent de?ths while play
ing foot ball, and the abrupt termina
tion of foot ball schedules by several
schools and colleges have brought
about a crisis in the history of this
game. The great defect of foot bail
as now played is its emphasis upon
mere physical force. The man who
weighs 200 pounds, other things be
ing equal, makes a far better player
than the man who weighs 150. This
advantage to mere avoirdupois is not
consistent with the spirit of good
sportsmanship, which everywhere
gives an advantage to dexterity, skill,
'agility; alertness'" and eelf-control.
Through these qualities base ball,
for instance, places the man who
weighs 150 poundB on a level with
the man who weighs 200. A game
in which mere weight counts so
much must run in rather brutal
channels, until means can be found
for reforming the game, so as to
make the finer qualities count high
er. As the game stands today, it is
too costly of human life and health.
But it is too deeply related to our
athletic life to be cast out altogeth
er. It can be and should be reform
ed, so that the undue advantage
given to brute force shall be cut out.
WORRIES OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Two Unique Notes From Parents
, About, Their Boys.
Every mother who has a boy at
school is .naturally interested In both
the progress he makes in his studies
and in the manner in which he is
treated by his teacher.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain-Dealer
gives an illustration of the latter
part of tho above proposition by the
publication of a note written to a
public school teacher of that city
who had charge of the mental de
velopment of her hopeful, In which
the lady expressed herself in the fol
lowing words of complaint aud s ug
gestion.
"Pardon me for calling your at
tention to tho fact that you have
pulled Johnie's right ear until it is
getting longer than the other. Please
pull the left ear for a while and
oblige his mother."
The Charlotte Observer says
unique as is this letter, it can be
capped by one received by a lady of
Wilmington?a teacher in the pub
lic schools of th.it city?from the
mother of one of the boys in her
department. That boy owned a goat
and was in the habit of devoting
much of his time out of school hours
in playing with the animal, his chief
amusement being to t?.ke a goat
back ride every morning before
school, which fact was forcibly im
pressed on the teacher and members
of his class through their olfactory
nerves on his entrance into the school
room. The teacher wrote a note to
the mother of the boy, requesting
that he be required to change his
breeches after riding the goat be
fore coming to school. In reply the
boy's mother sent the following note
to the teacher, which, we under
stand, is filed among the "archives
of gravity" in New Hanover county:
"Dear Ma'am?Johnny ain't got
but one pair of pants, and besides
he ain't no rose anyway and 1 esides
that Johnny is sent to school to be
learned not smelt."
Here was shown the Independence
of the American who paid taxes to
keep up the public schools and who,
therefore, was above any and all
petty school regulations.

After
La Grippe
"I had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. It felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits."
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
Dr. Miles'
Restcative Nervine
should be taken for some time
to thoroughly restore nerve
strength.
Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold by all drug
gists. If the first bottle does not benefit,
your druggist will return your money.
