The Annual Hold-Up.
STOP THE SOURCE OP MISERY, SAYS SEC
RETARY BRYAN.
"You are doing a great work,” ex
claimed Hon. William J. Bryan, in his
address before the i’resbytcrians of
Chicago recently, “with your rescue
missions and your relief stations, but
much as my heart has been moved by
what 1 have Been, 1 want to suy that
we must stop the sources of trouble and
misery. It is not enough to cure the
consequences; we nviBt put uwiiy the
causes. There used to be an old-fash
ioned lest in doubtful enses of insanity.
The patient was put in a tank of water
which hud an open faucet and a pump.
If the man tried to pump the tank
empty without closing the faucet, he
was called cruzy. If he shtiL oir the
water and then worked the pump he
was pronounced mentally sound. What
shall wo suy of the people of Chicago
if they leave more than 7,(Kill saloons
open and then try to pump out the mis
ery which these saloons are pouring into
the city? Turn oil' the faucet or, in the
language of the street, pul on the lid.
1 have been called names for my tem
perance position. I have been laughed
at, denounced as a weakling for turn
ing down my glass; hut 1 have tried
the temperance habit for llfty-four
years and am getting along all right.
Even if I knew that J could sip wine
along with the rest of them without
any danger of acquiring the liquor hab
it, 1 would not dare do it for fear of the
effect of my exumple upon the young
men of the land. Paul said that he
would not eat meat while the world
stood If it t-ndungored the welfare of a
fellow-man. So 1 feel about drinking.
"The saloon keepers are organized,”
continued Mr. Bryan; "the brewers are
organized; the distillers are organized.
Organization must be met by organiza
tion. Let the Presbyterians and all oth
er Christians be organized into a com
pact body—a solid front against the li
quor power. In Nebraska the saloon
forces organized and defeated woman
suffrage lor feur that the women would
vote them out of business. We must be
equally alert, equally determined.
"Last night ut Ann Arbor 1 spoke to
5,000 young people, mostly young men.
They had sent me an invitation signed
with thousands of names, and they had
said, 'We, the undersigned.’ It made
me feel that we were in u kind ot mu
tual covenant; and so in the midst of
my speech 1 did an unusual thing. 1
made a digression and asked all those
who wanted to take a stand with me
against the liquor evil to rise. In an in
stant nearly every young man in that
great throng of students was on his
feet. ”
Cuthlwrt Leader.
Elsewhere in this paper fs published
the special tax ordinance for the city,
which is adopted each year with little
change. It appears to be one of the
necessary evils of our civic life to call
on every line of business for the pay
ment of a fee to permit business to be
done. We hope to see the day when
special license taxes will not be required
excepting from outside interests who
come here in competition with the resi
dent business men, who proportionately
support the city government through
taxation. In other words, we hope to Bee
the day when the expenses of the city
government will not exceed the ordin-
nary revenues. It is not consistent,
neither is it right, to require a bank to
pay a special license fee, when without
banks we could not do business. It iu
not right to tax the newspapers, when
without newspapers we would indeed
be in a sorry plight. It is wrong to re
quire grocers and other merchants to
pay for the privilege of selling what
the people must have to live. How
ever, it appears to be necessary, and
we ure not kicking. The city fathers
should see to it, however, that every
requirement of the city shall be filled
or supplied by the business houses of
Americus, so far aB it is possible to
supply them. The home business men
who are taxed special license should be
given an opportunity to supply the mu
nicipal needs every time and all the
time. South Georgia Progress.
The Leader heartily indorses the
above. For years we have protested
that the theory of forcing every legit
imate business in a town to pay a spe
cial tax is eminently unfair. The only
excuse is that which could be advanced
with equal propriety by a burglar—the
need of money.
In order to obtain new industries fre
quently cities will exempt them from
taxation for a certain number of years.
That is offering business an inducement
to locate. To make enterprises that
help to build up a town pay for doing
ho a sum of money, in addition to muni
cipal tax, looks like holding out induce
ments for them to move.
This tax is said to give protection by
keeping down competition, but in the
majority of cases it does not work that
way. «
It is not the amount collected by
special taxes The Leader objects to, but
the principle. Why not levy a sufficient
ail valorem city tax to cover all necs-
sary city expenses? That would be
y
fair, and bear proportionately on all
property owners.
When the Mother Instinct Fails.
France* Frear*. In Leslie's.
A mother who doesn’t love her chil
dren is an unnatural woman. A lot of
people don't care for children in gen
eral, hut when a woman declares that
she doesn't love her own children we
need to prepare for the worst. In this
particular instance, (that of a divorce
proceeding in which the mother was de
nied the possession of her children,)
the worst was that, there was no room
in the mother’s heart for her own off
spring, because ail her affection was
lavished on horses and dogs. True, she
saw that her children were well cared
for by servants, but while the children
were left to sleep in an adjoining room
in charge of a nurse, she kept two pup
pies cuddled in the cozy corner of her
own room, subject to her personal care.
This is an extreme case. It is not of
ten that a woman is so untrue to the
maternal inBtinct as to love a dog or a
horse, however intelligent or faithful
either may be, more than her own
child. Such a woman should be out
lawed from society and allowed to live
with her dogs and horses.
There are women by the hundreds
who show more enthusiasm and inter
est over horses and dogs and automo
biles and cards and social functions
than they do over children. There are
a lot of women whose husbands have
become suddenly rich, or who have
been caught in the mad whirl of extrav
agant living that characterizes our
day, who turn their children over to
servants altogether. There are moth
ers who never had the joy of nursing
their babies, who never bathe nor dress
them, who never play with them, who
utterly fail as the children grow older
to enter into their lives, or to have any
sympathetic relations with them. If
there is anyone who needs to hear the
call to simple living it is such mothers.
A DEEP
SEATED GOUGH
Public Demonstration!
And Sore Lungs Were Over
come by Vinol—Mr. Hill
man’s Statement of Facts
Follows:
Boys’ Club Meets at Home.
The best type of boys’ club in the
world meets in the home kitchen or in
the living-room. The evening lam]) is
the home’s light-house, and the hour
lifter sunset is the Sabbath of the day.
The evening hour and the home ought
to be made so that the children will love
it. The parents should provide bookB
and papurB and magazines and games
for school day evenings. On Friday
ami Saturday evenings extra social af
fairs may be held, an occasional party
and a meeting of the crowd (or the
•gang”) in some home under CBreful
supervision. The boys and girls ought
to meet together on these evenings, and
there should be an understanding and a
neighborhood standard for going homo
in time, so every mother would know
Just when the children would be at
home.
Do you know your boy’s friend? Do
you ever take time to bake an extra
loaf of raisin bread, or an extra pan of
ginger bread, so your boy can share
with his friends, who will by that to
ken know that mother ia also their
friend?
Two negro men were employed in
tearing down a two-story brick building.
One negro was on top of the building
taking olf the bricks and sliding them
down a narrow wooden chute to the
ground, thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them up and piling
them. When the latter was stooping
over to pick up a brick the former acci
dentally let one.fall, striking him direct
ly on the head. Instead of falling dead
he merely looked up, without rising,
and said, "What you doin’thar, nigger?
You made me bite my tongue."
Boarder —"Here’s a nickel I found in
the hash."
Landlady — "Yes, 1 put it there.
You’ve been complaining, I under
stand, about lack of change in your
meals.”
Camden, N. J. — "I had a deep seated
cough, a run-down system and my lungs
were awfully weak and sore. I am an
electrician by occupation and my cough
kept me awake nights so I thought at
times I would have to give up. I tried
everything everybody suggested and
had taken so much medicine I was dis
gusted.
“One evening I read about Vinol and
decided to give it a trial. Soon I noticed
an improvement. I kept on taking it
and today I am a well man. The sore
ness is all gone from my lungs, I do no
have any cough and have gained fifteer
pounds in weight and I am telling un
friends that Vinol did it.” — Fran- :
Hillman, Camden, N. J.
It is the curative, tissue-building i
fluence of cods’ livers aided by the blow
making, strength creating properties i
tome iron, contained in Vinol, that mad
it so successful in Mr. Hillman’s case.
We ask every person in this vicirdf-
suffenng from weak lungs, chronic
coughs, or a run-down condition of the
system to try a bottle of Vinol on our
guarantee to return your money if
fails to help you.

Do you know what we think is the
best story in the bible? It may sur
prise you, but it is the one about Noah
and the flood. We say this in the face
of educated folks who turn up their
noses and declare this flood story a
fake.
You remember Noah had to work a
long time on the ark. It was up-hill
business, too, to go on sweating and
toiling day after day, building a boat
away out on dry land, where the local
Hammer and Anvil Club sat around
spitting tobacco juice, whittling up his
soft pine with old jack knives, and tell
ing him what a big fool he was to ex
pect rain in a country that was too
dry to raise alfalfa. But he kept at it;
and every mother’s son of the croak
ers was drowned. This is the only in
stance that we know of, either in sacred
or profane history, where a bunch of
knockers got exactly what was coming
to them.

To the Housewife.
Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments most likely to lead
to serious diseases. A child is much
more likely to contract diphtheria or
scarlet fever when it has a cold. If you
will inquire into the merits of the va
rious remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will find th it
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of the people
who use it. It is prompt and effectual,
pleasant and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired when
a medicine is intended for children. For
sale by all dealers.
Love is often blotted out by a tiard
answer. What a dream of happiness
our home lives would be if every angry
retort could give place to a soft an
swer! The divorce problem would not
be agitated us it is to-day, if a soft an
swer had prevailed. The angry spirits
of children are not curbed in their in
fancy, but are allowed growth. With
out doubt it is a difficult problem, and
therefore requires great strength of
endeavor to solve the best mode of
managing the individuality of each
child. Let us all strive to Bttain that
control over our spirits which will en
able us to give a soft answer in return
for an angry taunt. Then when this
goal of perfection is reached, how
peaceful and happy will be our influ
ence in our journey through life!

Let This I H C Engine Do
Your Work
N INE years ago I H C engines first appeared
on the market. Men who bought them at
that time report them still doing an honest
day’s work. They are always ready to run, they
have more power than you pay for, and they develop
that power on very little fuel.
When you buy an I H C engine, it is set up and
tested on your farm by experts. If anything hap
pens to it any time, we have repair parts right here.
The longer life and lesser up-keep expense of I H C
engines makes them cost far less per year of service
than inferior engines. That’s why we sell I H C
engines.
