The Drink Question

Bishop Potter is at odds with the
opinion, recently expressed in Bon
forts Wine and Spirit circular, that
the average saloon is bad and should
be suppressed The circular urged
that men engaged in liquor selling
should combine e. enforce the laws
against illegal sales because such
selling injured both the business
and reputation of the reputable
dealers Also that illegal selling
tended to arouse a much stronger
agitation among the pc Jple against
all intoxicants The bishop in re.
cent address declared that he re-
garded much of the "well intention
ed zeal which seeks to make men
and women virtuous aud teinperate
by a law of indiscriminate repres-
sion as utterly inhuman, inconsid-
crate and unreasonable" In his
opinion our prohibitory laws
"whether we put them in operation
on one day only or on ali days are
as stupid as they are ineffectu and
in fact most of our efforts for deal
ing with the drink evil in our day
and generation are tainted with
falsehood, dishonored by essential
unreality and discredited by wide
spread and consistent failure. "

Rearing Calves

Bulletin No. so of the state college
treats on experiments made in rear
ing calves on milk substitutes. The
conclusions are:
1. There is little difficulty in rails
ing prime dairy calves without milk
after they are two weeks old.
2. The cost of raising calves on a
milk substitute up to the time they
can be put on a hay and grain ration
or when they are between three and
four months old need not exceed $40
exclusive Of care.
3. Calves from high class, well
bred dairy stock, when raised in this
way, are worth much more than they
cost, and afford the only means by
which a milk dairyman can raise his
herd to high standard of excellence.
There are Illustrations of calves
raised on the different substitutes.
One on calf meal weighed when 167
days old 262 pounds. One on skim
milk when 2lO days old 247 pounds.
Another on calf meal at 14I days l9l
pounds, and one on skim milk and
grain at age of l67 days 249 pounds.
The bulletin is by Harry Hayward.

Coneerninr women Votine

Maurice 7 Molony, the former at
torney general of the state of Illi
nois and now mayor of Ottawa, ILL.,,
is a strong friend of woman's equal
ity. He says: II know of no rea-
son why women over twenty one
years of age should not vote in this
state, not alone where they are tax
payers, but as freely and as fully as
men do now. The absurdity of CIV
ing the franchise to a lot of foreign
ers who do not understand, and
therefore, scarcely appreciate the
genius of our institutions, and at the
same time depriving intellectual,
native born women of the same
right, surpasses comprehension. l
do not symgathize with the pretend
ed fear, for 1 believe it only q pre-
tense, of those male bipeds who
play politics for a living aud who, l
feel, do not love their country, that
it would be dragging woman from
her true position In the household
into the arena of politics, thereby
lowering her dignity, if she were
permitted to vote that it would
ruin all of her true womanly in
stincts and entirely unfit her for so-
cial duties. 1t is the cropping out
of the same brutal, imperious in
stinct in man that has always been
predominant in his character. His
tory verifies IL. This lord of crea.
tion, as he imagines himself to be,
would suffer in his own estima.

at home and never his equal in any

A good many OF the democratic
thunderers who in former campaigns
were wont to awaken the welkin
with their clarion cries, have appar-
entity gone out Of business, or, rather
they have engaged in legitimate
business, and are no longer dependent
on temporary engagements with
campaign committees, ''and ex-
penses.n
The loyal democrats Of the country
should not dispair. But they should
take brace. The fact that the cam
paign committee has announced a
paucity Of democratic orators has
been hard blow to the republicans.
The greater the democratic Grating
in former campaigns the heavier has
always proved the republican ma
iorites.
Judge Birdsall, who has been NOM
mated in Speaker Henderson's dis
trict, says in his letter Of acceptance;
"Republican success means assurance
of the maintenance of republican
principles and policies; protection of
American labor; sound money; the
extension of American commerce;
the civilization Of the Orient; pros
perity and equal rights to all. Re-
publican defeat means reversal Of
all these and the institution of the
policies and the political action pro-
mulgated by the democratic party in
their last national convention" Such
sound utterances do not carry the
hope expected to those democrats who
expressed such elation over General
Henderson's retirement.
Washington has again been the
scene of a reunion of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. The weather was
perfect and the hundreds of thousands
Of out-of-towners appear to have en-
joyed themselves to the utmost. Old
comrades met and renewed the mem
cries of the old days when, at their
country's need, they fought her bat
ties under Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Logan, Thomas, and the other brave
officers whose names are inscribed
on the roll of honor. The president
was unable to review the parade Of
the 10000 marching veterans, but
drove in his carriage 0hough he had
to be carried to and from the vehicle)
from the temporary White House to
the Capitol and back while the pro-
cession was passing. His appear
ance was greeted with the greatest
enthusiasm and the entire drive
was an ovation. The most popular
air played by the bands seemed to be
Dixie
European Journals have been
thrown into violent Mysteries over
Mr.. Roosevelts speeches, wherein he
announced our determination not to
ALLOW interference by a European
power in the affairs of our smaller
neighbors. It was simply reafirm-
alton Of the Monroe Doctrine, but in
unmistakable terms. The trouble
with our Old World contemporaries
is the realization of their utter help
lessness. Knowing that when il
comes to a question Of a foreign foe
Americans sink partizanship in pa
triotism, the utter futility of any pro
tests is apparent.
