A Professor Hart suggests to the
U. S. Senate Committee on Manufac-
lures the passage of law compelling
brewers to put upon each bottle Of
liquor the component parts of it's con-
tents. To our mind it is not so i'm
portant mat it should be stated what
is put into the bottle as what the use
of it's contents will put into man.

convention have modestly said to the
writer, Il can't do anything toward
the success Of the convention" Yet
the first and one of the deepest inn
pressions made upon the mind Of del
egate is the size Of the gathering. If
large, that fact engenders enthusiasm
instantly. The most modest man can
fill seat. We know some Prohibi-
tionists who can fill two.
A temperance professorship has
been founded in Berea College, Berea,
KY. out of the proceeds OF bequest
made by an Eastern minister who
saved the money out of his salary and
invested it with this end in view.
The first chair of the kind, so far as
we know, was established in the Tenn
perance University at Hartman,
Tenn. It was ably filled for six years
and until his death by Rev. w. w.
Satterlee, D. D., the honored founder
and leader of the Prohibition party in
Minnesota.
Our anxiety to hurry the printing
and mailing of this number prevents
the publication of a number of unique
features Of the convention programme.
We are glad to say, however, that
provision has been made to bring to
his feet on the convention floor every
delegate who is "bringable." Let every
delegate come determined to add some
thing to the interest and profit of the
gathering as well as to be interested
and profted There will be a session
of the Congressional district conven-
tion on each day.
The Prohibitionists of Minnesota
should be doing some tall thinking
just now. We must have platform
which will ably express our views upon
just the right number of issues. We
should, as far as possible, nominate not
only men of ability and prominence,
but campaigners also, who can COM
mand some of their time and who will
take the stump and tell the people of
this state why they should in this clos
ing year of the century vote the saloon
back to it's native hell. The candi-
dates for congress as well as those on
the state ticket, should be men of this
stripe. We have them. Let us bring
them out.
Are Twin City, and especially Min
neapolis, Prohibitionists awake to
their duty and opportunity to fill Cen
fury Hall during the convention? Do
they know that multitude have been
brought to our ranks under these cir
cumstances? Do they realize what it
means to let their old-party but saloon
hating neighbors catch a glimpse of
the splendid faces which appear at our
gatherings? Do they know what it
means to put them under the mind
winning and heart-stirring eloquence
of our royal national chairman, Oliver
w. Stewart? Can the Meneley Trio
and the st. Paul Prohibition Glee Club
fail to sing the Prohibition gospel into
their minds and hearts? This conven-
ton is the best opportunity we can
hope to have during the campaign to
win our neighbors to the growing
party Let us get to work!

Some greatly dread to have politics

The only question is whether she will

sometimes to represent county, at a
