It is not everybody who finds
prohibition a dry business. The
solicitors of the courts in which the
violators of the prohibition law are
being made to pay such heavy
fines are finding it very juicy.
“If prohibition goes on the statute

says the Memphis Commercial-
Appeal. Quite right, the fight of
tho blind .tigers to prevent being
lined or sent to the gang. That’s
the way it was in Georgia.
Since the prohibition bill has

Pe Kind Vroi
The Preside nt-eleet got away
from Charleston yesterday morn
ing and is now well on his way to
Panama. His visit to the South
was a notable one in many respects
and promises'to have an import
ant hearing on his administration
and his future political career. It
was pretty definitely determined
during his visit that ther should
be a radical change in the 'method
of ^making appointments in the
South, and also in the kind of men
appointed. For the past forty
years a little syndicate of Re
publican politicians in each .of the
states has named the federal ap
pointees, the government at Wash
ington J knowing comparatively
nothing about them, except that
they were Republicans, and in
most instances, uot satisfactory to
the people. Judge Taft gave as
surances that he would use great
carain making Southern appoint
ments and that he wouldQndeavor
to appoint men acceptable to the
comm unties iu which the offices
wc
a. this policy is adhered to there
wi.l be a more kindly feeling in
the South towards Julge Taft’s ad
ministration than there has been
towards any previous Republican
administration. And it is safe to
say that there will be a noticeable
increase in the number of white
Republicans m'the SouthJ
No doubt Judge Taft came to the
conclusion to change the polioy of
Republican administrations in
making appointments after giving
the political situation in the South
a pretty thorough consideration
That he has acted wisely there is
no good reason to doubt. His first,
appointments in the South will be
looked for with a .great det i of in
terest.—News.*

Moral Cowardice Growing
New York is startled by the sen-
*at'onal statement of Bishop Greer
that the desire for lile among the
people, not only of that city., but
•f the wLele conatry is decreasing.
The bishop declares that men and
women are becoming Jess sensitive
to their, personal responsibility to
God, and lays the blame for the ap
palling wave ot self destruction that
has been sweeping the land during
the last tew months to a relaxing of
modern life on th. vital realities.
“The people are forgetting that
they are placed here to struggle,”
says the bishop. “Too many seek
only happiness, instead ot striving
to he worthy ot life. The aountry
may argue that all of these advance
ments and betterments are merely
natural progress. All right, let it
go at that; then you cannot deny
that prohibition does not affect
progress. You must not say any
longer that mun'cipalities cannot
prosper without a liquor revenue.
You must not presage misfortune on
account of prohibition when there
is progress instead of retrogression.
Jus-, he fair and admit that it’s a
whole lot better to reduce ciime in
the state and progress at the same
time than to progress with a saloon
on eyery corner and the police work
ing over time to make the streets
safe and reputable for tho women
and children.
Prohibition is not so bad, if you
will only look at it with prejudice,

Drunkenness And Insani
ty.
The following statement regards
ing the increase of insanity through
drunkenness, is made by Dr. Forbes
Winslow, one of the greatest Eng
lish physicians and authorities on
the subject of insanity:
“At the present day wh n an in
dulgence in alcohol poison is exert
ing its sa t but dreadful effects on
humanity, when our lunacy statis
tics show that the increase of insan
ity is really due to an increase in
thin vice, it behooves one to ncosider
briefly the question. The recent
publicat’on of the London asylum’s
committee’s annual report shows an
actual increase in lunacy in the asy

by the County Council of seven bun

“ Do you know of any woman who ever receive
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
pound ?”
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this, question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herts.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Finkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one ju«t received a few days ago. If anvone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—“When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. 1 had been
sick f;>r three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
“For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when T read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
“My iiui.ha:id get ine :.ae bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so mircli good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
' and enjoy the best of health.
“I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They won’t
regret it, for it will surely cure you.” — Mrs. Bessie L. Hick*,
819 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
