Wednesday, Apr. 30, 1913.
Last Tuesday Davidson Coun
refused by a large popular
vote to approve a bond issue for
good roads for the good county.
We had hoped to see Davidson fall
i- ;i^e in this almost universal
:;K.'\eaient for better roads. It
Appears nbat liie campaign was
rather bitter .at some times. We
regret to see the v/ealthy county
(.>.f Davidson lose its riji'htt'ul pos
ition among the progressive
counties of the stafce.
Tomorrow is the last day’ in
which you will have to pay your
County Poll Tax so that, you can
Tote in the town electif.u! next
Tuesday. If you have a ^special
friend that is a ’eandi(i.:tj:e ?;t is
'ery importnnt that you bo in a
^mition to iAiHt your ba.llot. We

Tu'irai'ore we as well as
that the democrat party is daily
appealing in a very vigorous
manner to our progressive rep
resentative in Congress,to assist
them In passing the Un'derwood
Tariff Bill, by saying thau the
progressive party declared for a
revision of the tariff. We cer
tainly did declare for a revision
of Ihe'vtariff, but we iuive ne^?er
placed the seal of our approval
on a free trade poHey orf;ra
tariff for revenue only, so our
democrat brethern we are not
like you.
We shall however, live by our
platform and pledge and render
the best of service possible with
in our power iu our 'generation to
mankind. We declaro for a tariff
that will equalize the cost of
production abroad, with that of
the cost of production at home
and let quaiitv of the goods and
everything else that comes in
this class be sold upon its merits.
This will give a square deal j to
every one and special favors to
none.
Whenever your party " reaches
this high plain of industrial pro
gress you will not only have our
support, but the support o‘
every real progressive in this
great country of ours. Therefore
we suggest to you that you spend
your'time in studyieg the tariff
question so that you may speak
intelligently upon this great
question rather (than teljing some
other party what they should do.
When you have reached this high
plain of statesmanship you will
be a benefactor not only to your
party but to ail mankind.

A Division.
The Democrats of the first
ward are woefully divided as to
their choice for alderman. The

or ceremony nominated the pre

Many being dissatisfied, anothei'

Sulzer No SpO’i t
Albany, N Y, April 2S —A
hew «neriit' ot riuifj»lk County
was named by Governor Sulzer
today because the Executive does
not believe tha: 'a man who al
lows, his prisoners to attend race
meets and ball games, is fit to
hold such an office. He so an
nounced in removing Melville E.
Brush and appointing D. Henry
Brown as his successor.
Investigation of charges
against Brush, the Governor de
clared showed that the escape
from jail of a v^oman, prisoner
on the day set for^her trial was
due to “careless management.’^
The same woman, he says, was
entertained at Thanksgiving din
ner in the sheriff’s apartments,
whi[e jewelry of hers was rede
emed from a pa wnship.
Continuing th’e Governor’s
statement adds,
“It is simply proved by the
testimony that prisoners ser
ving time were permitted the
freedom t)f the streets outside
the jail walls. They cared for a
horse, the private property of
the sheriff in a stable some iis-
tance from the jail: and also for
the horse of a warden or turkey.
ThftS'j horses were used for racing
at the fairs and these prisoners,
acting as stable men and other
pri-soners attended these fairs;
cook care of the horses at the
race meet; were spectators at
baseball games, dressed up vio'
their Sunday Clothes, so that ir
was impo.ssible to ^distinguish
such prisoners from- reputable
citizens.
Break in
The Mail
levees.
?4ississippi
Natchez, .Miss,. April 27. —The
iong threatened break in the
Main lower xMississippi river
levees along the west bank in
upper Louisiana came at an early
hoLii Lhis morning, when the
I'jake St, John levee, 12 miles
fiorth of i^'erriday, La., went
out, turning the flood waters
loose upon the iinetarming lands
and villages of lower Tensa and
Concordia parishes.
Approxiniately 20,000 p.irsons
vvil! be dnven from t.jeii:' homes
-,v6 a result of this crevasse, which
will flood a territory embracing
aO'^ut 900 ycpiare miles. The
property damage will total sev
eral hundred thousand dollars.
rhe break in the levee at Lake
St. John developed at 3:20 o’
clock this morning. People liv
ing in the immediate vicinity of
the crevasse and in nearby towns
were advised to flee fully two
hours before the crash came.
It is not believed any loss of life
has resulted from the break.
Six river steamers and a score
of morto boats were dispatched
to the scene of the crevasse from
boats were Natchez and Vicks
burg early this morning for use
in rescuing people from the flood
ed district.

the boy and girl during iheir

that they would not have hum-

Jhemselves and offended their
maker. But rather than to do
this they added many sweet
smiles to their k)ving faces, and
A is supposed that they did
JtiiB to attract r.he attention of
*.he handsome young men that
occupied seats near by. If
this suppasiiitm be true it may be
that our rerKiurks are out of order,
however, we will just say wbat
we have wri-we have
written.
No
Marrage Without Medical
Certificates.
Not Ours.
We note from the daily prefes
sur?1ve. If it does survive and
dem':>crary continues its treach
erous acts as an organization,
may the great God who knows,
have mercy upon its subjects. It
is a very pathetic story to hear the
nngsters telling the opposition
what they should do in town elec
tions. We informed them from
tifne to time that we are free
moral agents not bound down by
the hand of political tyranny or
driven to the dungeon by^ a few
political demagogues. We have
no candidate in the field for any
office in Burlington, therefore,
we expect to vote as we please
and we accord unto every man
that same golden opportunity.
If there yet those in Burlington
who are steeped in ignorance,
bound by supersitition and blind
folded bv political tradition, we
pray that the day may soon come
1 when civil light in ail its power to
light their pathway to know the
right, and have the will ;o do it.

Cleveland, April 29.-No med
ical certificate, no marriage lic
ense, is the edict which Cleve
land ministers soon will announce
if plans of the Cleveland feder
ated churches do ’^ot fail. Cou
ples bent on being spliced will
not have to hustle for a marrige
license, but will have to put
down in the expense account
fees for examinations by physi
cians.
The executive committee of
the federation, which includes
all the Protestant churches in the
city, has decided to obtain pledg
es from Clevelani pastors t'at
they will not tie nupti;it knots
without the accompanying clean
h‘^alth bills. Rev. Dr.T. S. Me
William.^, of Ca • a y Pj ea »yteri; n
cnurch will introuuce a resolu
tion at the next meeting of the
federation exacting this pledge
ftom ministers.
“We are impelled to this course
because we believe it is time that
the seriousness of the
present situation be real
ized," said the Rev. C. E, Bur
ton, of the Euclid Avenue Con
gregational church, w^hois active
in the movement.
“The danger of a marked det
erioration of the race is imminent
unless some method can be de
vised to protect the community
from the marriages of the phv-

s. B. HARTMAW, M- D,
Is there any Intimate relation be
tween religion and jnedicine?
Yes, there is. The old-time healer
was also the priest. Theology and
medicine have not malnLained a sep
arate existence vei'y long-. They
tised to be one. Yes, tliere is an inti
mate relation bet-ween. religion and
medicine.
It is 'Vfell known of a person who
«ats with unthankfulness and ill-
natured spirit, that hi,g food will not
have the same effect as if he were in
a kindly mood. The same is true of
medicine. If a person srwallc ws a medi
cine with suspicion, has no faith Jn Its
action, is more or less afraid of the one
who gives him the meclicina, It cannot
do him as much good as if he had im-
waverlng faith in it.
^The mind has a wondsfful influence
over the body. Tho.^ie who believe that j
a loving: I*'stther controJs the destiny
of mankind are a #rrea.t deal better
prepared to nieet tiie vtci.^aitudes of

onf} who' has no such, faitii, A truly
roMgious map makes a better patient
than an frrelig'iouii nian.
In using the y.'6rd reiif.:.'!on I am not
referring to any particula.r kind of re-
Itgion.. The Jeiv and the the
Catholic and the Proiestant:, have

also agree in the essentifj.ls,
A. religious man may believe that it
i:? necessary for him to u.s.3 ever:.'
mearns in , his power to get well. He
may believe tliat it is pei-fectiy proper
for him to employ doctors ?.nd take
medioine.s. But he also believes? that
when he has dontT the be.st he ean
there is . a higher, power that ha.s
charge of his affairs, that a/bsolute jus
tice will be done him., tii.at no evil thing
can betali a good nian. IK; goes for
ward with con'fiilence, sick or weli, rich
or poor, and gels a great deo.l more
comfort out o^ life th.an the man who
has no religion,
I .have found myself sayisi;? many
times to, people who have a. chronic ail
ment, "You need religion aa well as
medicine. You need faith .in an over-
ruliiig providence that .guides every
thing to wijje ends;. that tJie a’ffliction,
of disease t'saches a lesson that every
one should strive to learn,"
This does not mean»that sick people
are to sit down and trust that an o ver
ruling providence will do everything.
Nothing of the sort. He is to use reme
dies guided! by his best .judgment, but
in the wse of them he can believe that all
things are weU and that in the end all
things will come cm .right,
■cine baa a better chianee to cure a man
who holds such a fa/ith.
Some men are so faithle^sa and tin-
believing, so restless and desperate,
their minds, so imsettled, that even the
best of medicine has little chance to
do them any! good. Therefore I say
that religion is often Quite ,aa neees-
