to have made the trip. II there is as
much increase in speed in travelling in
the next fifty years as in the past fifty
how fast will we travel. We will then

EVERY line in a newspaper" says
an exchange, costs something. If it
is for the benefit of an individual it
should be paid for. If u grocer were
asked TO donate groceries to II album
dainty able to pay for them, he would
refuse. The proprietor of the news
paper must pay for free advertising if
the man who is benefited does not.
And yet it is one of the hardest things
to be learned by many people that a
newspaper has space in its columns to
rent and must rent it to live. To give
this space away would be as fatal as for

Last Saturday evening a number of
relatives and friends of Thos. TOrton
helped to make his 38th birthday a
pleasant social occasion. AS is usual
neal election, politics entered into the
conversation when a Prohibtionist said
the women should be allowed to vote
and then we would have prohibition.
1t was proposed that tickets be written
and u vote taken to see the opinion of
the company. There were twenty-one
ladies present and four men and of
course prohibition would triumph by a
large majority. but when the ballots,
were counted this vas the result:
Grubb, 10; Lamont, 6; Albeit, l. 1t
would not do to give the women the
ballot according to this rs the Demo-
Gratis would get left every time. There
were known to be two Democrats pres
ent and the one who voted for Grubb
said she supposed Mr.. Torton would
not feel well if Grubb had not been
elected. Women need educating in
prohibition principles as we'll as men.
