"BLIND PIGS"
A Word of Advice in Relation to "Blind
Pigs" in Bismarck.

1t is hoped there is no foundation
for the report that n or more Of
those who have been engaged in the
liquor business in this city under a
license intend to continue under the
blind pig" system. AS an emergency
measure and in good faith a number
OF individuals have contributed regu-
larly to the city's and in re-
turn have had community support and
sympathy. This community has at
tempted to deal with the liquor oues-
ton in a practical manner Circum-
stances combine to defeat the contin-
uance Of the license system. Those
who now sell liquor contrary to law
are therefore running much greater
chances than those who sold under the
conditions existing prior to the first
of June. This community is not in
sympathy with "blind pigs that pay
no revenue to the city. If they get
into trouble-and they run an awful
risk-they will not have either the Off
Gals nor the sympathy of the COM
munity behind them. For that rea-
son it is hoped the former proprietors
of open saloons in Bismarck will let
some II else run the blind pig bus
mess. The county and city officials,
backed by the leading business men
of the community. have frankly told
the proprietors of establishments run
heretofore under a license system that
they cannot afford further protection
and therefore cannot continue to ac-
cept license money. This is fair and
just all around. 1t is hoped none of
the old and responsible residents of
the city will get into trouble through
a desire to accommodate old friends
and patrons no matter how urgent the
request or intense the thirst. There
is trouble ahead for those who do not
heed the warning. Equally guilty is
he who, presuming upon former con-
ditions, urges the dispensing Of liquor,
and thus contributes to the risk run by
the violater Of the law. 1t is but just
to those who'have been engaged in the
liquor business in this city under a IL
cense system for habitues of their es-
Establishments to refrain from encour-
aging them in blind pigism."

The RED A

The TlREDEST MAN.
tOld Story.)
Lazy Ben Shiftless may his name be
blessed
In song and story. for his love of
rest),
Once sat him down. a hot tear in each
eye,
With life disgusted and resolved to
die,
Not that in life was nothing he ad-
smired
But that the work of breathing made
him tired
Sighed that the muscles of his heaving
breast
Throbbed on and on and on and would
not rest,
So long the goddess of repose he
wooed,
Too languid he became to earn his
food.
The landscape wearied him, the run
ming streams
Clouded his days and haunted all his
dreams
Because they dared to run; regret but
lurked
For him in cider just because it
worked,
Nor would he drink of it.; the rustling
trees
He scorned because they rustled in the
breeze.
So tired and tired he grew, until at
length
His neighbors gathered. with united
strength.
Seeing that life to him was but a +,
curse,
Dug a deep grave, and put him in a
hearse,
Drove him away with solemn tread
and slow,
(Too weary he to ask where they
might go),
While they. with stern resolve, set out
to drive
10 the churchyard, and bury him alive.
Now Deacon Goodsoul with a curious
eye,
Espied the pageant as it passed him
by,
Made eager inquiry and asked the
cause
OF this fell disregard of mode and
laws,
Then solemnly to him the driver
spoke,
While Ben, asleep till now. heard as
he woke:
This is Ben Shiftless-he's too tired
to live.
He has no food and not a man will
give
Him bread; and we. his %neighbors,
think it best
To bury him and let him stay and
rest
Stay cried the deacon. Il will give
him corn.
An hundred bushels on this very morn, .
m that will serve his being to sus-
tain,
Halt, now, l pray and drive him back
again."
Up from the coffin then Ben pushed
the lid,
The fastenings that held the door un-
did,
Thrust forth his head and twisting the
brass knob.
Asked if the corn was shelled or on
the cob.
Ills on the cob the deacon said. sur
prised.
All, me-" sighed Ben. It's just as
surmised.
I'D have to shell it. Thanks. dea-
con %inaeeG,
l guess We'll let the funeral proceed"

Reduce the Taxes.

SO far as a great majority OF the
people OF the country are concerned a
greater part of schedule "a and all
of schedule .'Bn of the war revenue
law are the most far reaching in effect
OF any portion of that law. The
people have been most ready and will
ling to respond To this demand for
revenue on account of the war and
now that there is no longer any neces-
sity for the tax rs whole it is but
Just and proper that those parts which
so virtually touch the every day life
of the people tie repealed. While it
appears that the proper course to pur-
sue is to repeal entirely schedule a
and .B" OF the war revenue law, it
has been suggested that few items
OF schedule "A" could be retained
without detriment or distress 10 the
people. The total revenue collected
annually amounts to. about 1928, 000,-
0O0, and the amounts derived from
schedule "A' and b is about S42,-
600, 600. Therefore the repeal of those
parts which affect the greater nnm Der
Of people would be in order. That
part which does away with the stamps
on bills Of lading. memoranda, bank
checks, drafts deposits. certificates Of
deposit, promissory notes. domestic
money orders, bills Ct fading or re-
ceipt~, express receipts. telephone
messages, certificates OF profit and
damage. contracts and eonvevanceS.
deeds, telegraph messages. pledges. as
signmcnts Of mortgages, insurance
bonds, leases. titles to real estate. mort
Cages. renewals Of agreements. power
attorney. warehouse receipts, grain
receipts, medicinal and proprietary
, articles and preparations, and hun
dreds of other articles mentioned in
the schedule could be repealed and
would fayorably affect over thirty
millions Of people. The surplus in
the treasury indicates that the pres.
ent war measure as an entirety is not
necessary. The United States has
Tough; successful war and provided
for all the expenses thereof and is now
in a position where the taxes shoult
be reduced, and by repeating tn,
the schedules which interest the great
err number Of people there would still
be enough revenue to meet the ex
pense Of the government The Herald
is therefore in favor OF reduction
Of the taxes imposed by the war reve
nue. law and sincerely hopes that Con
gress will take action by repeating
such portions Of that law as will re
lieve the great mass Of the people.

MIR. WILL SCHULTZ, who was so
dangerously i'll for a long time and
was finally saved as by miracle, was
telling his experience a short time
ago. As it refers to physician well
known in Lancaster, it will have
double interest for many reasons. AS
he says Il had suffered terribly and
so long, didn't think there was any
chance for me. My stomach was the
main trouble. Everything | ate caus-
ed awful agony, even swallow of
water, and my heart was badly affect
ed and got so weak and tremhly that
could not stand up more than half
of the time. | never slept only when
| had morphine in me. The doctors
starved me and washed out nv sto-
mach. Some wouldn't agree to that;
said if they filled my stomach with
water it would cause one of the ulcers
there to break through and kill me.
One doctor said | had a cancer and
told me to take enough morphine to
keep me half way easy and that was
the best that could be done. At this
time, when there seemed no room for
any hope. friend persuaded me to
consult DR.. McElwee. | went to him
and my wife told him that we wanted
to know if had cancer of the stomach.
We never thought of asking him if he
could cure me. We were sure that
was impossible. Just didn't want to
die from cancer. The doctor said
nothing until he had carefully exam
ined me and be kind of knocked out
of me what little breath was left when
he said, Il can cure YOU. 1t will re-
quire some time but YOU will get per-
fectly we'll There is nothing the
matter with your stomach, the whole
trouble is seated in your nervous svs-
tenn and your stomach doesn't act
simply because the nerve that sup
plies it is benuml Ell or paralized.
Well, didn't know what to make of
it but | took his medicine and | guess
he was rig hit, for from that dav
haven't had ten minutes pain. I've
gained thirty pounds and feel like a
boy again. Why, can eat all they
put on the table. And it Is only three
months since saw the doctor for the
first time Such wonderful cures as
this have brought DR.. McElwee a very
large business and made his name a
household word throughout Wiscon-
sin. The doctor himself saws his sue
cess is due to his having got hold of
some fine special remedies in Ger
many, which cure diseases like asth-
ma, epilepsy, bad stomach and lung
troubles, etc, after other common
drugs have failed
