"A corkscrew will never pull a man

Enough said.
Tbe Law of Intoxicant
As many times as Israel had tribes,
even to the number of twelve, has the
supreme court of the United States de
clared that the saloon is a crime-producer!
Yet it exists.
My countrymen, if a tree does not
bring forth good fruit, why is it not
hewn down and cast into the fire?
Whose duty Is it to lay the axe, stren
uously, to the root of the tree, hew it
down and cast it into the fire?
Yet the corrupt tree bringing forth
corrupt fruit stands.' Down with It.
Further than that every state su
preme court has declared that the sa
loon is a crime-producer. Therefore,
the issue becomes not only a national
one, but, it lies, through the decision
of the state's highest tribunal, in the
power of the jurisdiction of each and
every sovereign state.
But still the bay tree spreads, and its
leaves are not for the healing of the
nations. It is the tree of the red
dragon, under which Eve paused, and
Cain walked, and Isoah reeled. Let it
be consumed! There is double author
ity for it.
"Producer of crime," says the nation.
"Producer of crime, echoes the state.
And the baby nation and the baby
state et down on the nursery floor of
Uncle Sam, with their rattlers, to "rat
tle" the same tune together. Like the
parrot of Long John Silver they seem
to have a sort of ditty swing t6 the
song. The "Pieces of eight," Pieces of
eight," of that famous bird of Steven-
sons lambent genius, has altered to:
Producers of Crime! Producers of crime
Drink and the devil and wine.
What eare I for 2.000 fools dying a day.
There are 2,00 others to fill up the line
Tomorrow!
According to Richmond Pearson Hob
son 2,000 men die daily from the ef
fects of alcohol, in the United States.
And yet their widows fail to draw a
pension.
Would you class this as apathy on
the part of nation and state? Oh, no!
Teetotal, absolute, inexcusable, unde
fensible, moral depravity.
And yet, if the war drum's throb
was heard, in the deep silence of some
silvery night, and news was .flashed
along the wires that the swords of the
Samurai were glinting-, omniously, be
bond the orchar pillars of the golden
gate national honor would..be imme
diately omniscient, omnipresent, and
the great term defended, to the last
drop of every true patriot's blood.
But, national honor about national
law, or state honor about state law
bah! those are terms of peace. And
peace means peace. The bugle's shrill
note does not urge to the charge, or
the band play "The Star Spangled
Banner," about these, questions. So,
the baby nation and the baby state
roll on the floor of their Uncle Sam's
nursery, murmuring. "Producers of
crime the saloon. Producers of
crime! Let us sleep."
"In the afternoon I came unto a land,
Where it seemed always afternoon.
All around the coast, the languid air
did swoon."
Suppose we adopt Tennyson's "The
Lotus Eaters" for a national hymn, and
drone it o'er and o'er, in the place of
"The Star Spangled Banner." It would
be so much more appropriate you
know, so much better adapted to our
national attitude toward "The Law of
Intoxicants."
There are more than 2.500,000 hard
drinkers in the United States. 120,
000 die every year. If the same num
ber of pigs were to die each year,
poisoned to death by something put
into their swill, the government would
at once order an investigation to save
all pigdom from destruction. Are not
men much more than pigs?

Terrible Aeeldent to an Excursion
Train on tbe Seaboard Air Line.
Five Killed and Store Injured
Hamlet. N. C, July 28. An excur
sion train on the Seaboard Air Line,
bound from Durham, N. C, to Char
lotte, rushed head-on into collision
with a freight train in the yards here
yesterday.
Five persons were instantly killed
and the wounded number between
fifty and seventy-five, many of whom
are believed to be fatally injured.
The excursion train was coming
into Hamlet at a considerable speed.
The freight was standing on a side
track to allow the passenger train to
get by. It is supposed that the switch
was either open or defectively locked.
The swiftly moving passenger train,
with its hundreds of pleasureseekers,
hurled itself against the heavy freight
train.
The noise of the Impact could be
heard for a mile. The two big loco
motives were hurled from the track
into a jumbled mass of scrap iron and
the light passenger coaches left the
rails, piling up on one another in an
awful jumble. For a brief moment
there was silence, then the cries of the
injured rent the air.
The work of rescue was at once be
gun. Tender hands removed the in
jured as fast as they could be gotten
at, and doctors were summoned from
every available source. A temporary
hospital was created. It is believed
that the final count will show at least
ten fatalities.

Washington. July 28. President
Taft signed the Canadian reciprocity
bill at 3:10 o'clock yesterday, Secre
tary of State Knox, Secretarjof Com

the President Hilles and Representa
tive Littleton of New York, several
newspaper men and a battery of pho

the photographers a chance, the pres
ident went through the motion of
signing the act again a few seconds
later. He was snapped wearing a broad
smile.
Instructions for the administration

until the whole agreement is ratified
by the Canadian parliament were tele
graphed to customs collectors along
the Canadian border today. The new
regulations provide for proper indenti-fica-tions
of the imports to prove they
are of Canadian origin, and the state
department has been asked to instruct
consular officers in Canada to add
their certificates to the declarations of

II IN 110 BREAD
I Seventy Per Cent, of a Loaf But
the II on )e Democrat May Think
Differently Regarding;
Wool Tariff
Washington. July 28. The Senate
wool compromise bill, offered by Sen
ator LaFollette of Wisconsin, being a
modification of his own bill and the
Underwood House bill, passed the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon by a vote of
48 to 32. through the actions of the
democrats and insurgent republicans.
The measure adopted reduces the
duty on raw wool to 35 per cent, ad
valorem, with corresponding reduc
tions in the duties on articles made
from wool.
The compromise - measure will now
go back to the House, and its fate
there is problematical. The Presrjent
Taft has to be taken into considera
tion. It has been semi-officially stated
from the White House on a number of
occasions that the president would
veto any tariff legislation on wool or
cotton that might be passed prior to
the report of the tariff board on these
matters.

President Taft's recent message sug
gesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of in
gredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical profes
sion itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are In
tended to counteract. For over three
decades Foley's Honer and Tar Com
pound has been a standard remedy for
coughs, colds and affections of the
throat, chest and lungs for children
and for grown persons, and it retains
today its pre-eminence above all other
preparations of its kind. Foley Kid

STOP THAT DANDRUFF
Before it kills your hair. You know
dandruff is a germ disease and it leads
slowlv and surely to baldness and
there is only one way to cure dandruff
and that is to kill the germ that causes
the trouble.
Greasy salves will never do this.
ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP kills the germ
and are guaranteed to cure dandruff,
itching scalp and all other germ dis
eases of the skin and scalp.
ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP are the true
scientific remedies for these afflictions.
To show our faith in ZEMO and ZEMO
SOAP we have instructed the druggist
selling them to refund your money if
you are not satisfied with the results
from the very first bottle and the very
first cake of soap.
We can afford to make this offer be
cause one bottle of Zemo and one cake
of soap are sufficient to show their
healing qualities and if used according
to directions, they will effect a perma
nent cure.

scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu

constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca

constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10

III SPEAKS
Mr. Taft Say He l RepnIhle for
the Controller Bay Withdrawal,
and Given Ilia Reaaonn
Washington, July 28. In a message
of considerable length sent to the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon President Tafl
shoulders the entire burden of respon
sibility in the -matter of the Controller
bay lar.d withdrawal. He states that
by his act alone, and only after full
est investigation, was 12,800 acres of
the Chugachi national forest in Alas
ka withdrawn from that reserve and
opened up for settlement and develop
ment. It was the withdrawal of this
tract from the national reserve that
gave rise to the new famous Control
ler bay controversy.
Furthermore, the president, speak
ing for his brother, Charles P. Taft of
Cincinnati, whose name has frequently
been drawn into the affair, declares
that Charles P. Taft has not at any
time been connected with or - interest
ed in the matter. He says Charles P.
Taft has no interests in Alaska. As to
the appearance of the name of the
president's brother in the now famous
"Dick to Dick" letter, he says his
brother knew nothing of that affair,
and was in no manner interested in
the lands or the companies now evolv
ing development schemes in the terri
tory, hie asys the alleged postscript to
the letter from, Richard S. Ryan of the
Controller Bay Railway and Navigation
Company, which Miss M. F. Abbott
declares she found' in the files of the
department of the interior, is not to
be found in such files.
Coming to the, purpose of eliminat
ing the 12,800 acres in the Controller
bay section from the national reserve.
President Taft says he ordered It
thrown open to settlement-because he
believed it to be necessary to the de
velopment of Alaska, and that it was
not done in the interest of the Con
troller Bay Railway and Navigation
Company, or any individual or set of
individuals. Furthermore, he declares
the Controller, Bay Railway and Navi
gation Company is not owned or con
trolled by J. Pierpont Morgan or the
Guggenheim's, nor are they interested
in the company.

Former Forenter'n Criticism of Presi
dent Taft Explanation of the
Controller Bay Affair
Washington," Jily 28. Gifford Pin-
chot, former government chief forest
er and now president of the National
Conservation Association, has Issued a
statement declaring that President
Taft "leaves the root of the matter
wholly untouched" in his message to
the Senate denying there could be any
monopolization of the waterfront of
Controller bay, Alaska. Pinchot opens
his statement with this charge:
"The president's defense of his
course in the Controller bay affair
shows how hard it is to make a good
excuse for a bad mistake." Conclud
ing, Pinchot states: "It is unfortunate
that the friends of conservation, In
their efforts to bring about the de
velopment of Alaska for the benefit of
the people are continually obliged to
expend their strength against nen who
ought to be protectors of the people's
property. It looks like a necessary
duplication of work when we must
first fight policemen before we can get
a chance to stop looting.
