If there is clause in Vcrmont's
prohibitory law making the posses
sion Of a United States liquor license
prima facie evidence of violation of
the law it should be enforced-let us
have the whole law or none. 1t is
pretty late to begin prosecutions
under that particular clause, but
nevertheless prosecuting officers in
their present zeal cannot very con-
sistently overlook any loop hole
through which an offender, or one
who is getting ready to commit an
offence, may escape. Give the pub
lie all there is in this remarkable
prohibitorv statute; if there are any
doubtful clauses it is not for prose-
cutting attorneys to determine their
constitutionality.

FOR NEGRO CHILDREN.
Rev. Carroll's south Carolina Indus
trial Home Dedicated.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. So.-A great work
of unlifting negro children was i~naugurated
TO-DAY when "the South Carolina Indus
trial Home for negro boys and girls was
dedicated. This undertaking was started
last April by Rev. Richard Carroll, a negro
Raptist preacher, late chaplain Tenth I'M
munes. The home is designed to give ne
gro waits rudimentary and Christian edu-
cation: ito teach them habits of tidiness
in household work and of thrift in farm
work or at the lathe or bench. The Tus-
kegee Booker Washington's school does for
the grown negro what Carroll proposes to
do for children.
Last spring the Rev. Carroll received a
donation from Judge Z. II. Little. or
oOmfe Pa. With this he bought Car

Judge D. y. Carpenter, near this city: In

en-, but with the wind 1t is gone. As to
our text: Here is taught no doctrine or
self-display. 1t is rather q plain teaching
of self-effacement. Let your light so shine
that men shall See-not you. boaster-shall
see your good works and g~lorify-not you,

live and gives you power and opportunity.
But wherefore should a man praise God?
Is not a mans life his own, and of his W
ordering? If there be any glory in IL.
should not that glory accrue to him alone?
On the contrary, l believe that the success
full ones in life attain their success simply
by standing fast and holding on to things
that come to them from outside them
selves.
And so it Is true that If any man has
been successful in life, his success has been

that have come to us? Things come to us.
Very we'll, then, God sends them. Let us,

DR.. Nj. l.. Haines Speaks Of "Our Her
itage-the Middle West"

The union Thanksgiving services of the
Presbyterian churches were held yesterday
morning in the First Presbyterian Church,
where Rev. NJ. l.. Haines preached on Our
Heritage-the Middle West" taking as his
text the words: THE lines have fallen unto
me In pleasant places; yea, l have a goodly
heritage" DR.. Haines spoke briefly on
Palestine, the Hebrews land of promise,
10 which the text referred. and which.
though limited in area, was always desired
by the nations around 1t because Of its
peculiar facilities for sustaining life while
developing industry and manhood.
But" said DR.. Haines, 'if the Hebrew
people were commanded to recognize and
appreciate tfe excellencies of the domain

when we. the people OF this central basin

regarding it. They are facts which give

lies that are now crowding on US as never
before"
The middle West, the speaker said, covers
about one-fourth of the total area of the
United States, and In his opinion there is 10
domain of like size which matches this
in situation, climate. soil and variety of ie-
sources. He then referred to Gen. George
Rogers Clark, who wrested all OF the mid
die West from the hands of the savages,
yet whose name and achievement are rot
even recorded in IN Of the standard en-
cyclopedias. General Clark was. he said. en-

made in Denver to-day when a bunch of
twelve Hereford steers. born and raised in
North Park, COL, was sold by Clay Robin
son & Co. to the Colorado Packing Com
pany for 1913 per 100 pounds. The steers
averaged a weight of 1852 pounds each and
brought the owners $685. each. They were
bred from range cows and registered Here
ford pulls and were three and four years
old. They were bred by Monte Blevens. OF
North Park. Col, and were the property Of
his children. The highest price recorded in
TINS country this year on grass-fed cattle
was $50. paid in Chicago recently. The
price paid here would be equal to $6 per 100
pounds in Chicago. This is the highest
price paid for range cattle anywhere since
1852. The steers in question were fattened
on the range and have never eaten anything
but hay and grass.
