The Editorilum
of this great weekly re-
ceived a severe shock a few
days ago in the form of a little
carte postale, upon which was
written the most cruel words
that come to the sacred sanc-
tum of ye newspaper men.
Stop my p^per!
How those words, or words
conveying the same meaning
cut into the newspaper man's
conscientious ego.
The writer of the communi-
cation has been struck appar-
ently in a very tender part of
his anatomy, and writes us
like this:
kj"I can't stomach your soc-
ialist editorials, please rub my
name off your list."
Regrettingly we must erase
from the scroll of hard-earned
honor, this coveted name. It
has long days in the archives
of this great moral medium.
We hate to see yon go, but
you have so instructed. Good
bye! (Soft music and tears.)
*******
The weeping is over. We
will now dry our eyes and face
the awful charge that has
been made the reason for los-
ing one so precious to our sel-
fish vinculum.
We are sorry that our friend
is woefully uninformed along
the classification of editorials,
otherwise he might get in on
the "sensure bcreau" of the
Police Gazette. Most men who
criticise independent, progres-
sive ideas have good idea along
running a Russian bastile or
driving a chain gang
After a careful analysis we
believe that we have discov-
ered the patient's trouble.
Like many poor humans, he
is ignorant of his own personal
anatomy. He has undertaken
THE
PRODIGAL
JUDGE
3C
By VAUGHAN KESTER
F you want to read a
delightfully humorous,
essentiallyAmerican story,
with a hero and heroine
quite after your own
heart, you cannot afford to miss
the new serial we are about to print.
THE
PRODIGAL
JUDGE
is a tale that treat? of American
life and conditions of several
decades ago and is wholly unlike
anything else in recent fiction.
When the story is ended you'll find
that you have left a company that
you have come to know intimately
and, for the most part, loved.
BE SURE TO READ THE OPENING CHAPTER
the task of digesting with his
stomach, what was intended
for his brains. Like the old
Chinese philosophers, as well
their Greek decipies Dioegnes
and Chyirppos he shares the
idea that our mental machin-
ery is located in the stomach
—and they were in their hey-
day 500 years before Christ!
Galen, thenestor Greek phy-
sician and Plato exploded the
erroneous theory 700 years
later by establishing man's
reasoning faculties in the
brain, and yet we find people
1800 years after, who never
accept the later, and now es-
tablished conception, but con-
tinue to hold onto old antiqua-
ted ideas.
Funny some folks have nev-
er learned what their gray-
matter was intended for, and
undertake to digest heavy edi-
torials with organs that were
provided for grinding corn
bread and sow-boson. We can
not blame your stomach for
feeling bad, for it has been
mistreated, shamefully. And
now my friend if you insist
upon allowing your stomach
to continue as the mental gov-
ernor instead of your brains;
we would advise you to leave
the editorial columns strictly
alone, and confine yourself to
reading the thrilling adven-
tures" of "Dr. King's New
Discovery" its wonderful ef-
fect upon poor misused stom-
achs—at least this will please
your stomach better.
We have withheld the writ-
er's name because he is one of
only a few—in fact so few,
that have taken their name
from our list, that it would be
a shame to compare them with
the many who have added
their nanies since the change
in management, because of
the independence, which our
ex-subscriber so much dis-
likes.
deliberately planned and exe-
cuted such a diabolical crime,
to hide his own sin, after he
had wilfully wronged and de-
jceived his victim, we say nev-
1 er! It would be wrong, utterly
|SO.
! Taken out of the world in a
moment, unaware, Avis Lin-
nell had no time to atone for
the secret transgression that
this fiend incarnate had exact-
ed by false piomise. She was
a victim to the passions of a
vulture who has used the sanc-
tity of the church to hide be-
hind in perpetrating his hein-
ous practice. In her explicit
confidence in him she had vio-
lated one of the Command-
ments, and according to some
her soul is lost.
We cannot think so—it
would not be right. What a
travesty on justice for Richer-
son's soul to be saved, and
Avis Linnell's find its way to
the abode of the damned.
Porto Rico's New Wonder.
From far away Porto Kico come
reports of a- wonderful new discov-
ery that is believed will vastly beu-
efit the people. Ramon T. Mar-
chan, of Barceloneta, writes "Dr.
King's New Discovery is doing
splendid work here. It cured me
about five times of terrible coughs
and colds, also my brother of a se-
vere cold in his chest and more
than 2O others, who used it on my
advice. We hoqe this great medi-
cine will yet be sold in every drug
store in Porto Rico." For throat
and lung troubles it has no equal.
A trial will convince you of its
merit. 5oc and l.oo. Trial bottle

The Special
Senate Lorimer Commit-
tee have again given the Illi-
nois senator a coat of white
wash, after all the unmistak-
able evidence of his crooked
dealing. The main reason the
committee gave for staying
by the former vindication was
that "no new evidence was in-
troduced" and that the first
investigation was a "solemn
and deliberate one."
The special committee may
reinstate Lorimer in the U. S.
Senate, but it can never rein-
state him in the eyes of the
American people.
Richerson the
pastor-murderer, after tbe
last straw of hope had gone
glimmering, resigned himself
to his fate and met his death
composedly, early Tuesday
morning. In the last days
Richerson talked considerably
with those near him, and just
before going to his death, ex-
pressed his belief in a safety
of 5011I by saying: "God will
take care of my soul."
How a man with a heart so
black ttar.t it would cast a mid-
night pall over the furnace
rooms of hell conld expect
leintney, from God or devil is
beyond our comprehension.
A murderer who had com-
mitted his crime, while anger
or impulse hai the ascendency
over reason, is excusable to a
large extent, but one who so
My Sentiments
It I can write a story or a play
that will save that young man
from following in the footsteps of
of some man who is now called a
SUCCESS, but, if followed ten
years from now, with the moral
sentiment growing as it is. will
send that young man to the peni-
tentiary. I, even I, will be a great-
er Success than that man with all
his wealth.
If I can write a story or a play
that will save that young girl from
a part of the sorrows and dissapoint-
ments of this life anc( by the lessons
taught, make her lot contain a
little more of the sunshine and a
little less of the shadow, I will be,
even I, a greater Success than the
rich man. He, with his wea'th, can
cause the loss of a dozen souls, the
wrecking of a dozen lives, but with
his wealth, can not save one, or
make one happy.
With the assurance of this, then
my life has been worth while.
Is Money Success? then there is
No God! Oh Lord, how long
will it be until people shall cease
to worship at Mammon's Altar?
I may not have a place to lay my
head, I may not have the money to
buy a decent meal, but I bad rather
be that way and be able to scatter
a few ot the flowers of laughter —
than have the wealth of empire,
and a heart of flint.
