A Common Sense View of the Temper
ance Question,

II Is fair to assume that many of the delegates
ana other IN attendance upon the recent State
convention Of the Third Party were governed
i'll their action by the very highest and pureSt
motives. Contrary to the convictions of many
Others whose love for temperance and right
eousness is equal to their own. they look pri-
marlly to separate political action as a means
to the accomplishment of their purpose, and
expect by forming party based on the prin-
clple OF prohibition to attain it. They seem to
forget that men cannot be compelled to act
against their will by a political party Laws
that do not command the assent of an over
wheming majority of community. cannot,
until human nature undergoes radical change
be enforced to the point of absolute correction
of the evil aimed at. We Law down this nro
position, that until public opinion is overwhelm-
ingly i'll favor of the prohibition of the sale of
intoxicating .liquors as a beverage, the laws
enacted to that end even if placed in the hands
OF party especially chosen to do the work,
like laws existing against other evils will prove
inadequate to entirely correct the trouble. If
this is accepted as true, it follows that moral
suasion has a large work to do before the end
desired by all good Christians can be reached.
Would not political party based upon prohibi-
ton, pure and simple, be drag on this needed
reformatlon? Would ii not be much more to
the purpose to keep this question free from en-
tangling political alliances, free from partisan
politics! There are temperance men in all par
ties, there are prOhbitiOnists in all parties that
is, there are men who believe in the principle
and who would be glad to see it embodied in
the legislation of the whole country, but who
recognize the difficulties in the way, above all
the fact that other issues more nearly related
to the concerns of government, and over which
parties are divided. necessarily take precedence.
Purely moral question, is it not better and
wiser to keep the temperance question in all its
phases out of partisan politics, and so labor to
make converts to sobriety and prohibition from
all parties, all sects all races? Portland Even

The $500, Road.

Special to the Globe
SALTWATER, Aug. 24.-Stillwater's
prospects are now better for securing the
800" road than ever. l.. W. Clark, city
engineer, has discovered route for getting
out Of the city via Perros ravine at Oak
park and crossing the Omaha track three
quarters of mne east of the junction,
running through ravine and parallel with
the Omaha some distance, then across to
Minneapolis. This route will necessitate
very little grading, and not only give the
800" direct route to Minneapolis, but
level one. Mr.. Clark says he will make
the grade below the city in making the cir
cult and this will make shorter and bet
ter route than the Omaha road has and on
less than a f0rty-foot grade. The road
would enter the northern part of
the city and run down to
the transfer tracks and have
no trouble in securing the right of way.
Hon.-J. N. Castle appeared before the city
council tonight and on Behalf of the citi-
zens' committee asked for the services of
City Engineer Clark for a few days to make
surveys on the route he suggested, saying
that the directors of the road would select
the route inside of Afrty days and what
was done must be done at once. On mo-
ton of Aid. W. S. Conrad the matter was
referred to a special cammttee of three,
which will meet Mr.. Clark tomorrow
morning and consider his plans and put
him to work at once if advisable. The
council was unanimous in its action and
the citizens are jubilant over the prospects
of getting the $500" The proposed route
fooni Osceola will shorten the road three
miles and will undoubtedly be adopted by
the directors.
