special reference to the liquor and
pharmacy laws, and all laws pretain1ng
to women and children.
When the people intelligently under
stand the injustice and infamy of
some OF their laws, the labor of BRING

States are being made for our next
Legislature. Urge the Union to do all
in their power to secure the nominal
tion and election of a pure, and able
man, who is thoroughly committed to
prohibition and equal to suffrage, to
represent your country. Also the
town and county election must be
looked after, and prevent ii possible, a
bad man from getting any office, how
ever insignificant it may seem to be.
1t is impossible to enforce prohibition
unless our county Attorneys, Sherifs,
deputy Sheriffs and Justices of the
Peace are prohibitionists.
Your first thought perhaps is, show

Union Of Washington Springs, the
mother of us all, according to custom,

Country any History Of American
Politics, the cost 81 all told, and de-
pend on the generosity of some Of our
W. G. II. Y. brothers-in-law of the
legal fraternity for the use Of the Con-
stirution both Of the United States and
the Dakota Code.
Ii you hold "NIother's Meetings"
which you surely should do, and read
the liter ature especially for that de-
partment, and of Social Purity you
viii soon be led to see your duty plain,
to not only study and understand the
laws, but to also have a hand in max
ing them.
Yours for equality before the law.

A correspondent of a farm paper. who
is bewailing the eXtravagant eXpendi-
5ure of money in salarying men to go
about teaching farmers at the insti-
tute how to do their work says that
one OF the Minnesota lecturers by his
own confession made a failure OF farm

credit OF this lecturer, it is his highest
He is honest
enough to confess failure, and willing
to admit that he does not know every
thing. 1t is the men who know it all
n their own estimation Who are
dangerous teachers. The question is
lot whether a man has failed but
he made good use Of his fail
lre. 1t is not the one who failed but
he one who keeps right on failing
