The new M. E. church Of which

The first religious service will

The stained glass windows are
models of taste and beauty and
reflect great credit upon the firm,

cost was $3.50. The windows in
the main body Of the church are
used for the memorial individuals,

for society memorials. Among
the first named are William

A State Saloon Failure.

The State Liquor Dispensary of
South Carolina has collapsed. The
people had voted for prohibition
and Tillman proposed that as pri-
vate saloons were an evil the
State should keep a saloon and out
of the profits pay all taxes. That
idea of the profits paying taxes
caught the gullible and the smell
of liquor caught the guzzlers and
the state dispensary was popular
with both temperance people and
drinkers. IT'S only opponents were
the prohibitionists. 1t resulted
IN most disgraceful condition of
affairs. The state officers bought
all liquors and it is said that they
secured rebates as private profits
or brides, ting to 100000
a year. What finally killed the
whole thing, was a decision of the
United States Supreme Court that
the law was unconstitutional IN
that it forbade the importation
OF liquor from other states. The de-
cision breaks the monopoly there
fore and outside dealers can now
sell Gun broken packages" ofliquor
in the State. Hence private COM
petition kills the socialistic mo-
nopoly. We are glad to record
the failure of the experiment, for
two reasons; because we consider
it an outrage on decency for a
state government supported by
the taxes and loyalty of civilized
and respectable citizens to be nc
better than keeper of brothel,
dispenser of that which is at the
bottom of nine-tenths OF all
crimes committed by men. 1t is
standing illustration of what Il
paternal government may become

Normal Notes.

The Literary Society assembled
in special meeting las Wednesday
afternoon and passed by vote OF
'26 to motion to regulate the
attendance at the regular meetings
of the society. The meesinss are
open as before to all members of
the Normal school. All other
persons who wish TO attend are
requested to apply for that
privilege to a committee consist
ing of one member of the faculty,
Prof. Clark, the president of the So
ciety and one member of the socie-
ty in good standing for the present
term, Miss DeLap. Applications
may be made at any time during
the week to any member of the
committee which will meet on the
Friday afternoon preceding each
regular meeting of the society and
consider the application a received.
This measure as adopted by the
society has the support of the
entire faculty and has in view the
better preservation Of the public
property used by the society.
The appraisers Ct the Normal
school property destroyed by fire
have come and gone and all busl-
ness has now been completed prior
to the meeting of the board of
regents which will take place this
week. There can now be scarcely
any doubt as to what the deci~.ou
of the board will be. Even some
of our sister towns who were at
first clamorous to secure the prize
are now joining in the request to
}have the school rebuilt here,

the ladies of River Falls have
shown an unusual interest in the
grand work being pushed forwar
by her. Her object is to raise
dressmaking out of the old ruts
to a higher and more practical
plain. Her book, methods and

harmonic with any system OF
dressmaking and is applicable to
any new changes of styles that
may be introduced in the future.

The HOusekeeper.

We take pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers to this
admirable woman's magazine, re-
cent issues of which have been
more than ordinarily attractive.
1t has just entered upon its
twenty first year, and the publish
ers are celebrating the event by
offering to send the magazine for
six months on trial to new sub
scribers, and with it a beautiful
pin set with a ruby stone en-
circled by six small pearls, both
for only 80 cents. Anyone not
satisfied with their bargain can
have their money returned. This
is certainly remarkable offer
aud will doubtless attract thous-
ands of new subscribers.

home companion, Astounding in
bright things. No other edo
nestle" magazine is so prolific of
practical suggestions along the
lines of home and social endeavor.

ing in all it's branches. 1t dis
cusses both the ideal and practical
sides of home life in the most
entertaining and instructive way.
It's department devoted to mar

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

In last Sundays Chicago Tribune
we notice that Judge L. S. Gull has a
column and a half communication. in
reply to an article in that paper against
the government ownership of rail
roads, and the paper dcvotes nearly
two columns to answering the Judge.
While we have never been fully con-
WINGED that government ownership was
the proper solution of the railroad
question Judge Gull presents an argu-
ment that seems to bother the Tribune
railroad editor to answer. for the reply
is certainly inconsistent in contending
that 1.-THE operating expenses would be
greater" while there would be .sno add
vantage tothe employees" and that they
'would not he we'll managed" These
premises can not all be we'll founded.
Judge Cults argument for the acqui-
sition of the railroads 10y the govern
ment is by right of eminent domain,
paying for actual value, issuing bonds
therefor the same as is now done.
This is II problem that is entitled to
thorough discussion, and we c%ongratu-

ton that at this time is least popular.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY.

Touching upon the merits of the cam
didates for judge of the Seventh circuit.
the Pi~oneer-Times in a recent issue
says: 1.-The judicial campaign in the
Seventh is interesting. MIR. S. Il. Will
son. of Hot Springs. an able lawyer and
Il man of high character and standing,
is the nominee, and Levi McCiee, of
Rapid City, is the choice of the popu-
lists. Nothing be said against
Judge McGee. as a man, except that he
has wasted too much time in politics,
and in the production of a%ntipoverty
lectures. This has been done natur-
ally at the expense of his legal studies.
Ii in both districts the voters would
look up the records of the candidates
in the court calendars and records.
their choice would be simplified. 1t is
urged against Judge MCGEE that he has
had practically no experience before
the courts. Asone witty delegate put it.,
MCGEE will never have to call in an.
other judge, he can't be disqualified as
he has never had a case before the cir.
cult court. How can we expect men to
make good judges who have yet to
show that they are even fair lawyers?
MIR. Wilson should have a decisive ma
jority in the Seventh district, if quail
%tications are to determine the result"

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

The writer has frequently reiterated
the view i'll print and has enunciated
1t upon every platform upon which he
has spoken upon political subjects,
that no voter should expect greater
personal honesty among republicans
than III amy other party: that the men
comprising ali parties are of the same
stock, moved by the SAME impulses.
prompted by the same motives of
honor q. of greed; and that no party
could reasonably undertake to answer
for the honesty of the individuals sup
porting it. or even of its candidates.
III short, that II party is not more
worthy of support than another be-
cause its adherents are more honest
than the adherants of other parties,
but because its general policy is wiser
and more conducive to prosperity and
general happiness. We have ever de-
plorcd what. to us, appeared the mar
row method of party warfare which
holds the democrats or populists re-
sponsible for every lapse of a populist
or democrat, and the wisdom of our
views ome home very strikingly at
this time when the air is rife with the
eXultant charges that the downfall of
Anderson is the natural fruit of repdb-
lican supremacy. 1t is but human ma
ture that the populists should luxuri-
