ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON SALOON
SMASHING.
Some otherwise well-meaning people
have been much Mortified at "the
lawlessness" Of Mrs. Nation and her
co-saloon smashers in Kansas. They
labor under the delusion that such
work is anarchistic.
Their mistake is in failure to
recognize the fact that all liquor-sell-
ing for beverage purposes, all saloons,
liquors and saloon furnishings in
Kansas are outlawed, both by con sti-
tutional and statutory Law, and that
it is the specified duty of officers and
citizens to destroy all such, and thus
rid the State of what the law pro-
nounces public nuisance. The fact
is, in Kansas it is the saloonists,
iointists, and hoodlum patrons of those
vile dens who are the anarchists, iand
not Mrs. Nation and her co-helpers,
who, in accordance with the require
ments of the law, are smashing saloons
and thus honestly and, in some places,
at the risk of their lives. endeavoring
to rid the State of monsterlnusance.
and thus save their children and
neighbors from its ruinous contamin-
alton.
But to the class referred to in the
first of this paragraph of this writing
it will, doubtless, be news that there
nowned lawyer and emancipator,
Abraham Lincoln, once gave an
opinion on saloon-smashing. About
the year 1889, when he was practicing
law at Springfield, fifteen women of
Clinton, Illinois, after having repeat
edly pleaded in vain with liquor
dealer to refrain from selling to their
husbands, ruided his saloon. smashed
in the heads of his barrels with axes,
and broke his demiiohns and bottles.
The women were arrested:and indicted
for the mischief done. They were
without counsel for defense, when, on
the day of the trial, Mr.. Lincoln en-
tered the court room, and was asked
by them to address the court in their
behalf. He readily consented to do so
and said:
MAY it please the court | will say
IA few words in behalf of the women
who are arraigned before your honor
and the jury. | would suggest first,
that there be a change in the indict-
ment, so as to have it read, The State
against Mr.. Whiskey, instead of The
State against the Women 1t would
be far more appropriate. Touching
this question there are three laws:
First, the law of self-protection:
second, the law of the statute; third,
the law of God. The law of self-pro-
lection is the law of necessity, as
shown when our fathers threw the tea
into the Boston harbor, and in assert
ing their right to life, liberty and hap

the city hall Friday. The old coun-
ell which for the past year has fought,
bled-and finally died-turned over
the city to the new council threw in
its blessing for full measure free, and
then stepped outside the council
chamber and made faces at the city
dads. There was no fuss, no cere-
mony, no speeches, no tears, just cold
business.
The old council met pursuant to ad-
iournment and transacted routine
business, closing up its affairs.
Then the report of subcommittee hav-
ing charge of the canvassing of the
ballot of the recent election was re-
ceived and the official count stands

A Popular Young Couple Joined in
Holy Wedlock Tuesday.
A very pretty wedding occurred
Tuesday evening at the Church Of
the Advent in this city. It was
the marriage of Mr.. Charles J. B.
Turner toiMiss r. Sparks, both of
Devils Lake. Promptly at s
o'clock the groom, closely followed
by the groomsman, Nels III. Peter
son, slowly marched from the
vestry room, while Miss Libbie
Sparks, sister Of the bride, who
acted as bridesmaid, led the bride,
who rested on the arm of her
father, to the chancelsteps. Here
the bride was met by the groom
and accompanied to thefoot Of the
altar while a selection was played
on the organ by Miss Turner,
sister Of the groom. The contract
ing parties here knelt in silent
prayer while the choir sang hymn
237, a very beautiful and particu-
larly appropriate selection. The
pretty ceremony Of the Episcopal
church was conducted by Rev.
Turner, father of the groom.
After the marriage the bridal party
marched from the pretty church
while Miss Turner played Mendels-
sohn's wedding march. The bride
was charming in a gown of white
silk trimmed with chiffon and
wearing pure white roses. The
bridesmaid wore a very pretty
pink silk dress, adding much to the
prettiness Of the occasion. George
w. Mooers and John Haslam
acted as ushers. The church was
completely filled with the friends
OF the bridal party, attesting the
popularity Of the newly married
couple. After the ceremony the
Immediate relatives and a few
friends Of the bride and groom &C.

Mrs. Margaret Mccarthy, where
the bride has been living for some
time, and here a supper was served
and a social time INDUCED in until
about midnight. Mr.. and Mrs.
Turner were the recipients of many
pretty and costly gifts, appropriate
and useful. Mr.. Turner holds a
position in the general store of E.

has been employed for some time.
