WROUGHT BY FLOWERS
Something New Under the Sun Discovered
by the Beauty Teachers

Kinds for Color.

It was left for one Of the latter-day
beauty teachers to discover the influence
Of sweet lowers upon the mind. And now
that 1t has been hailed as a new discovery,
women are saying that 1t is a wonder no
one ever thought of 1t before.
II you stop to think OF 1t there ia a GER
tain relation between the flowers that grow
in pots in your windows and your own
spirits. And, whether unconsciously or not,
you are affected in no small degree by the
blossoms and their state OF prosperity.
II the flowers com out we'll and bloom
as they should bloom. you are correspond
ingly elated. The sight of them tran
~quilizes the nerves. The odoF soothes
the temper. The very presence NJ the
cheerful growing things makes you con-
tent with the earth and your lot upon 1t.
And this is felt, not only by you. but by
every other woman. Have you not among
your acquaintances some dear, good, III
soul who revels in her window garden?
In the winter It is filled with roses, when
all other windows stare bleak and bare
into tho sullen streets. In the summer
it is twice as gay and the m who at.
tends the garden spot is found perpetuAily
lowering over the beds.
BY what has always been considered .
happy chance, the woman who revels In
tho garden is a creature OF gentle soul,
| always cheerful, always kind hearted, ever
charitable and endowed with every virtue
from the beginning to the end Of the chap
ter.
And now the beauty specialist comes
along and declares that 1t is the influences
Of the flowers that trings all this about
and that all who would enjoy tranquility
and cheerfulness must cultivate the plants
But is not every woman who can cuiti-
vate plants. Lack OF space is one draw
back, for, In the crowded limits OF the
city, II is not every house that can have 81
much as a window garden. The window
is in too much deman to be spared fol-
gardening purposes.
But the city woman, the beauty spe'
eialist declares. can always buy a rose. or
earnation, or an Easter lily. OF a bunch o.
v%iolets. and she can inhale the fragrance
and benefit by 1t.

HARNEssED UP WITH THE DEVIL

The st. Paul Carnival Association
offers to donate to the city the two
pillars erected at the entrance to the
big shameful fake. BY all means let
the gift be accepted and let the pillars
stand, the one monument to the
wickedness of municipal completely
with moral evil and the other to the
folly of expecting any real pecuniary
profit from the license system. Think
of it! Nearly $4,000 were paid into
the Carnival treasury, including about
$4,000 mulcted outright by the Kan
CARGO court. Yet the public baths, to
which the proceeds of the Carnival
were to have been devoted, will receive
next to nothing and the miserable ag-
gregation cannot even pay it's bills.
Even this is not so ridiculous as
the pious claim, set up by respectable
citizens Of town after town which has
street fair, that they "didn't sup
pose that it would be so bad" And
this despite the wide publication of
the fact that most, if not all, of these
affairs prosper only through allowing
liquor selling, gambling and impurity
to run riot.

Thank God, we have a president
with nerve to back up the demands
of Christian humanity with battle
ships. The government should protect
the weak from oppression in any part
of the world, even if bloodshed be re-
quired.-Rev. M. D. Shutter, D. D.
Nowhere in the wide world is there
more bitter oppression than in the
land of which Theodore Roosevelt is
the chief executive. No greater out
RACES are heaped upon the heads of
the innocent and helpless anywhere
than those suffered every day through
out Christian America by hundreds of
thousands of wives and millions of
children of men made demons by the
liquor traffic, and this traffic is as legal
as the flag. Thank God we SHALL
have a president who will risk his
political fortunes, if need be, in a
manly and persistent struggle to shell
ter these suffering ones from the great
destroyer.

Pith of the Press.

Detroit Record: Abandon every party
that does not abandon the liquor inter-
eStS.
Philadelphia Press: There does not ap-
pear to be any rea! need for the pro-
posed school of politics. Pretty nearly
every saloon is such an institution now.
Keynote: The majority is the group in
society who are failing to do what needs
doing. One who desires things done
right must find a minority with which to
work.
Venango indicator: Our contention
is: License in any form is poor econ
omy and worse morals. The higher the
license the more demoralizing, for it does
not lessen the evil, and it bribes the
voter to continue cursed thing for filthy
lucre.
Modern Farmer and Busy Bee: Do not
encourage or help any agricultural pa
per which admits whisky ads into its
of an agricultural paper to send drum
mer for saloon into the sacred pre-
cincts of your home?
Defender: Had not a radical minority
grown tired of a conservative majority,
there would have been no Republican par
ty born in the fifties, and the dead level
of conservative politics would have kept
the country forever in the slough OF
ton.
st. Louis Republic: These dives (the
lowest) are SO numerous in the city, their
organization is so compact, their Glen
tele so extensive, that so long as pres
ent conditions remain, they will control
the city completely. Our present license
law was intended to break their power;
but as far as it applies to st. Louis, it
has rather served to increase it.
Lewiston (Me.) Journal: The law de-
prives no one of anything needful for his
comfort or well-being. Every town and
city in the state can establish an agency
at which liquors of all varieties can be
purchased for medicinal and mechanical
purposes. The picture of a sick wife or
stimulant which is denied them by the
laws of the land is purely imaginary.

A DEPLORABLE TENDENCY.

We are under obligations to the
State Y. M. G. A. for a copy of it's
year book. We do not, however, ap-
preciate the frontispiece, a full-page
portrait of Gov. Cummins of Iowa.
We were surprised and grieved
when he was advertised widely as
the chief attraction of the state con-
vention of the Association. We ex-
cused the outrage on the ground that
the management was possibly igno-
rant of his record. But what accounts
for this continued alteration of this
man of malodorous fame, who led a
bolt from the Republican party of
Iowa when it was committed to Pro-
hibition, and brought about the elec-
ton of Gov. Boies on license plat
form; this man, who more than any
other man living, is responsible for
the repeal of the Iowa prohibitory
law and the consequent ruin of thou
sands of the young men of that state
for whose moral welfare the Associa-
ton is supposed to stand? Is the
Y. M. G. A. to yield to the temptation,
before which the church has so large
ly fallen, to worship whoever in high
position will render praise in return,
regardless of his moral character or
political conduct?

The voice of the church should be ex-
pressed in the ballot box; The church
must practice the determination of the

Liquor men get what they want be-
cause they go for the party that goes for
them. ProhiEitionists don't get what they
want, because they go for the party that
don't go for them.-Wm. Munns.
Since it is true that he who votes a
party ticket votes for the things for which
the party stands, the one who votes Re-
publican or Democratic ticket votes for
the present saloon policy in effect at the
hands of those parties.-O. w. Stewart.
A holier cause than ours never chal-
lenged the attention Of mankind. The
Prohibition party, in the providence Of
God, is the guardian of Christian civiliza-
TONS. H. Taft.
Meetings announced by putting posters
in the post office and a local in the news
paper merely are not advertised. Every
one in town may have seen the announce
ment, but nobody will know Of the meet
ing. Advertising must challenge atten-
ton. 1t must confront everybody every
WHEREIN. G. CaIderwood.
The man who is worthy Of being q
leader of men will never complain of
stupidity of mis- helpers, Of the ingrati-
tude of mankind, nor of the Interpretation
of the public. These things are all a
part of the great game of life, and to
meet them and not go down before them
in encouragement and defeat is the final
proof of power.-Elbert Hubbard.

YOU OUGHT NOT TO BE
ASHAMED

To refuse to drink poison or to go
into places where men make living
by furnishing their fellowmen with the
means of self-destruction.
To vote with the minority when it is
right.
To be known to be especially and
deeply interested in movement to
overturn an institution which intelli-
gent men and women generally admit
to be the bane of society.
To devote the larger share of your
time, thought and money to that move
ment.

Gasoline may now be sold in red
cans only: This is a good law. Now
let another be enacted requiring sa-

At the demand of the powers the
Governor of Beirut, Syria, has been
removed. But the saloon remains in

lutions have been passed against it
however, by some very nice people.
Aside from those of the department
stores and clothing houses, few adver-
tisements now appear in the dailies
except those of whisky, beer, cigars
and cigarettes to make people sick and
those of all sorts of quack nostrums
guaranteed to quickly and surely make
them well again.

Rockefeller has ordered the Wendell
hotel, Cleveland, closed because the
former lessee would not renew his
lease unless permitted to sell liquor,
and this the oil magnate would not
allow. Good for John! He's great on
freeze-outs, and we're glad to see him
try his hand on the saloon.
This editor recently introduced him
self to comrade in the field with the
statement that we had been informed
that he was "a solid Prohibitionist."
His reply made no particular claim
to loyalty. He simply said, "Well, I
know how to VOTE" That's a good
deal. The destiny of the nation is
locked up in it.
GAS long as it is manufactured, it
will be sold" But every prohibitory
law enacted or proposed prohibits the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes as well as their
sale. Widespread ignorance of this
important fact illustrates the pressing
need Of disseminating information up
on every phase of the great issue.
During Leslie Shaw's last admins
tration as governor of Iowa penalties
amounting to $4,000 were assessed
for violations of the liquor laws of
that state. He RENTED all but $1,000

rotary of the Treasury, and not few
foolish Methodists raved over him at
the last General Conference, of which
he was member.
