Southern Delegates Were Received.
Rev. DR.. Moffat in his morning address
said that he brought greeting from the
young people of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church of the South. Il
thank you for the help and the inspiration
which you have given to us in the young
peoples work. This is a work in which
all through the Southland, and es-
pecially in our own church, the people
have taken hold of very slowly and we
find it difficult to get our young people
to enter into this work heartily. 1 think,
while this work in our own church is
new and not in the shape we would like
to have it, yet l believe what this work
is as far as we have gone, is owing in
no small degree to what has been done
in the United Presbyterian Church. In
fact, your influence, the influence of your
young people, is being felt throughout
all our churches to-day We have now
your name, your constitution. and we hope
very soon to have the spirit and efficiency
which characterize the young peoples So
cieties of your church. Some thirty or
forty of us have journeyed from the South

in the Bible where Christ Journeyed TO

THE DEBS INJUNCTION.

Following is Bradstreet's comment ON
Judge Jackson's perpetual injunction
of Debs, which our pop friends 80 yio-
lently criticise. When it 10 remem-
bered that Brodsreet's is a commercial
and no, political organ, its utterauce
is all the more signiticantand weighty:
The Injunction lately granted
against Debs and others on the appli-
cation of the Monongah Coal Company
was made perpetual by Judge jackson
in the United States Court for the
district Of West Virginia on Monday
last. He referred to the public strict
ures upon the original order, and said
that some OF them were due to the fact
that the order was not understood.
The decision was, he said, founded on
good law, good morals and Justice.
Nearly two hundred years ago courts
OF equity in England issued restrain.
ing orders to protect the citizen in his
rights Of property. There was, in fact,
no reason why the rights OF property
should not be protected by the courts
The owners in the case before HIM had
invested large sums of money in their
plant at Monongah, ana the bill pray
ing for an injunction alleged that the
defendants we're about to do things
that would lessen the value OF the
property and possibly destroy it. The
rule was that where an injury
WAS threatened for which the
law afforded an adequate rem.
edy the courts Of equity would in.
terfere to prevent such injury. The
case before him was such one. The
injunction abridged no right Of the
miners, did not interfere with the
right Of free speech, and was a care.

A NIPPLE FROM WHITE LAKE.

There has been some discussion
among the newspaper boys of South
Dakota recently as to who is the best
poet the state affords. The Sioux
Falls Press and many others award the
palm to Mortimer c. Brown, OF the
White Lake Ware. Mr.. Brown Is not
only q poet OF no mean accomplishments
but he has clear headed and sensible
ideas on the temperance problem as
we'll. Last week he published the fol-
lowing, which it will be timely to re-
produce in full just now, no doubt, as
We and probably many other news
paper men have just received the same
proposition. The editorial is entitled
''Who Takes the Risk?' and reads as
follows:
We are in receip pit Of u letter from the
Hayner Dlstilling Co.. begging the
privilege OF sending to US, securely
packed In y plain, unmarked box, four
quart hotties Of pure seven year old
double copper distilled rye whiskey.
The write- generously offers to ship
the stuff with all charges prepaid,
allowing us to remit after we have
sampled the goods and found them
satisfactory. I'm other Words" our
kind friend goes on to say, ''the re-
sponsibility is all ours, you running
absolutely no risk"
Is this statement true? Let us see.
You ask us to receive this stuff into
our house, to taste and try its qualities.
We know and you know that many q
once respected man has been reduced
t. the level OF beast by the appetite
for strong drink which you SO cordially
invite us to acquire. There is q strong
chance that II we accept your offer we
may some day be one of their number.
Who takes the risk?
You ask Us to put this liquor on our
sidebOard, to be used by our family at
meals. We have two bright eyed boys
who are ever on the alert to pick up
something new, and who firmly be-
lieve that whatever their father does
Is right and proper for them to do.
Thousands OF boys as promising rs ours
have been consigned by their heart
broken parents to drunkard's graves,
as result OF habits formed In just such
a way a. this. If we take up with your
kind offer few short years may see
our boys thus brought low. Do you
take this risk or do we?
On every hand we see the rxvages OF
rum. Wives are left destitute, mother
hearts are broken, homes are made
des0late, all from the love Of this ex.

supreme court of Wisconsin in case
involving the right of citizens TO pub.
lish criticisms OF the official action Of
judges. 1t appears that lawyer Of

which was published by the editor of
h paper in the same city, charging
that II Judge who was u candidate for
reelection was extravagant in the
management OF his court, was partial
and unfair in his official conduct, add
was Influenced by corrupt motives.
The same criticism was also made in
an editorial article in The paper. The
Judge in question at first instituted
contempt proceedings against his
critics and subsequently made an order
adjudging them guilty Of contempt for
having filed affidavits alleging the
truth Of the statements made by them.
The supreme court held that this
HCOIOu was III cAcGSS Ol the court q
jurisdiction, and said that it must be
a grievous and weighty necessity
which would justify so arbitrary pro-
ceeding whereby a candidate for office
could become accuser, judge and jury,

punish his critics by Imprisonment.
There could, the court said, be no
more effectual way of gagging the
