it seems well within lines of the most
studious moderation to believe that or
ganized conscience, as represented
by the church, and organized greed as
represented by the liquor traffic, are
forming rapidly in American politics,

is the hen or the egg of political cor

The Prohibition Special Train.

The National Prohibition Committee will
run a Prohibition Special Train through
various parts of the country from Sept. 10
until election day. 1t will carry Woolley
and Metcalf, the candidates for President
and Vice President; National Chairman
Stewart Hon. Samuel Dickie of Michigan,
Volney B. Cushing Of Maine, all orators
of wide reputation, and perhaps other lead
ing workers. At state lines the party will
be Joined by state chairmen and secretaries,
editors of Prohibition papers and such can
didates on the state ticket as are cam
paigners. Meetings will be held at from
half dozen to dozen or more places
each day. These will take place at the
train, or as near it as practicable, and
largely in the open air. In a large number
of cases the stop of the train will be the
nucleus of half day or day meeting
State committees will endeavor to bring
meeting one or more speakers residing in
that state. The train will carry tons of
literature for free distribution.
The Elan has awakened great interest
everywhere. 1t is the greatest one ever
adopted to bring the principles Of the
party to the attention of the millions
whose aid we seek in our warfare against
the saloon. The Associated Press will have
representative aboard, and local weeklies
and dailies by the thousands will report
the gatherings and speeches.
Minnesota Prohibitionists have not been
slow to apr reciate their opportunity, nor
to put up the money required to cover the
heavy expense. We expect that large
number of Minnesota towns will yet speak
for a stop. The train will reach Mime
sofa at Worthington on the morning of
SeIt. oath, run west and north through
South Dakota, holding an evening meeting
at Brookings. Sept. 25th it comes into
Minnesota again and runs via the Great
Northern to Moorhead, where a meeting
will be held in the evening. Fargo will
also have a rally. On Wednesday morn
ing, the 26th, the train will go north, stop
ping at Halstad, Crookston and Grand
Forks. Then back via Crookston to Ada,
Wadenas Detroit, Henning and Fergus
Falls, where one Of the greatest rallies
ever held in that section will take place.
On Thursday, the 9th, the train will run
to st. Paul by the Northern Pacific or
Great Northern, where the evening meet
ing will be held in the great Auditorium.
On Friday the train will go via Mankato,
to Madelia, Fairmont, Winnebago, Lake

another great rally will be held in the

Poisoned HIS Father.

FRESNO. august Aired Hines,
aged 10 years, made the startling con-
fession to-day that he had poisoned his
father. The father w. M. Hines, liv-
ing in this city, had been at the County
Hospital for several days, and his case
baffled the attending physicians. To-
day the boy made a full confession to
the officers and is now in Jail. He stat
ed that his father had treated
him cruelty and had refused to allow
him to drive his team. He therefore
concluded to kill him. and he and his
younger brother put their savings to-
gether and bought poison, which Fred,
who did the cooking, put in his fathers
coffee. Mr.. Hines called for three cups
and a portion of the poison was added
to each cup. Nothing can be done to
save Hines. The young prisoner does
not realize the enormity of his offense.
