Discard Programmes.

The business men of keokuk, Ia, !,
have awakened to the fact that pro
gramme advertising does not pay. y
committee has been around among the
retail merchants and secured signers
to an agreement that the merchants
would not advertise any more in pro
grammes. Not only that, but they have
placed the ban on other minor inciden
tai expenses of this character which
have become burdensome, such as the
purchase of tickets for church socials,
dances, trolley parties and the. like.
The best place to advertise is IN the

Prohibitionists argue that when local
option establishes license in one town
it practically nullifies prohibition IN
adjoining towns Is there any great
difference in this respect between Ii
censed and a lawless traffic IN towns
that will vote license: Ask the people
of Brattleboro, who have supposed
themselves to be living under prohlbl-
tion, while the breweries were IN full
blast across the river. Ask the 90 9th
er border towns of Vermont The
truth is that local option, on the whole,
would bring a betterment instead of
deterioration in this point
The one chief reliance of the prohl-
bitionists has been to cry out against
the "seyeri " of the proposed law.
What is the meaning of this argument,
/ but to rally the rum selling interest IN
support of prohibition This un-
/ holy, soul-rotting alliance has always
existed TO a certain extent; but never
50 openly, persistently, shamelessly, as
( in these days of prohibition despera-
I tion. Could there be any more con
elusive demonstration of the fallacy
/ that underlies the prohibition idea: 1t
means that the great majority of the
! LIQUOR sellers and those of the worst
class are going to be on the NO
side Tuesday They are to be enor-
mously reinforced by men who want tc
substitute the South Carolina state
store scheme, who realizing that prohi-
Y bition is morally broken, want 10 pre-
serve il as the alternative of their own
measure, the Battell bill, before the
next legislature. They are afraid to
give local option a two years trial as
the alternative, lest it work so well as
to make their scheme hopeless. These
elements, with the politician plumber
ers and those sincere citizens who, IN
spite of all proof, still cling to the idea
that prohibition is right and practlc-
able idea, make a strong combination,

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE WORKINGS OF
THE PROHIBIT0RY LAW.
Why the officers of the Law Are So Willing
to Make Prosecutions What They Get Out
of 1t and What Goes to the State-Figures
Taken From Recent Prosecution.

For the benefit of such of our readers
as may he unfamiliar with the work
ings of the present prohibitory law,
and the fee system, we print below an
active occurrence of recent date. 1t
will explain why practically every law
yer-at least all who are in the ring
every sheriff and deputy sheriff, con
stable and justice of the peace is such
a staunch supporter of the present pro
hibitory law. AS late lamented gen
tleman once said, "he'd be fool to
be anything else. :" Read these figures
and consider whether you wish to con-
tinue this farce for another generation.

The testimony of Ex-Gov. W. M.
Crane of Massachusetts who has ust
retired after three terms, regarding
local option law is of much Importance
at this time. Gov Crane says, " have
not changed the opinion expressed In
my message on the liquor traffic as reg
ulated in Massachusetts. | see no rea-
son for remodeling our liquor law, as
local ortion appeals to the conservative
element of our people. The situation
as to the conduct of the liquor traffic
is gradually growing better

Mistake of Mistakes.

The mistake of mistakes is to wait
until one has money-lots of it--before
one begins to advertise. Without eX-

this country began advertising when
they had but little money. Printers

From these figures it may be seen
that the state received in all Sl5 while
the fees Of the states attorney, justice
and sheriff amounted to $40. 81 The
states attorney receives salary of
$500 besides his fees. Is not a law
which diverts public funds from their
proper channels in this manner wrong
unjust and unfair to the taxpayer?

MINERAL WISCONSIN. THURSDAY, 1908

Vivian Bennett who has been a
faithful employee of the Tribune for
some years, has taken up his abode
In Madison, leaving here with that in
tent Monday of this week. No more
willing, reliable or Intelligent hand
ever launched out from the Tribune.

poor taste for an uncle to speak thus

ing credit where it properly belongs,

honoring the Soldier Dead.

Last Saturday, May 30th, the day
set apart for the purpose Of honoring
oar soldier dead, proved decidedly
unfavorable for the occasion. The air
was cold, the wind blew and the sun
refused to shine, but these unfavora-
bic conditions did not dampen in the
least the ardor and determination of
the surviving veterans, who dis
played the same courage and spirit
which led them to risk their lives for
their country forty years ago. This
was plainly evidenced by the light
in their eyes as they greeted one
another; yet the many who saw them
observed that the men of '6l walked
with heads a little more bowed and
with steps little less firm, but one
heard no regrets, no longings for past
strength nor the youth that had gone
from them. They laughed, joked,
and congratulated one another upon
their youthful appearance.
In accordance with program the
veterans met ats a. m. and in car
riages visited the cemeteries and
strew flowers over the graves of their
dead comrades, and a feeling of sor-
row doubtless came over them as
they paid their loving tributes to the
dead and thought how rapidly their
ranks were thinning.
In the afternoon, promptly at one
o'clock, they met again and formed
a procession which, headed by the
band, marched to the park, where
the Hon. ]. @. Monahan delivered in
his mastery style historical, patri-
otto and touching address which ev-
cry nearer praises highly and re-
CARDS as being well worth the brav-
ing of the bleak, chilly weather to
hear. Because of the unfavorable
weather several features of the pro-
gram at the park were cut out, and
more than likely this to some was
disappointing.
The attendance was much larger
than was anticipated upon viewing
the weather prospects in the morn
ing, many being present from out
side the city.

Resolutions of Respect

adopted by Mineral Point Chapter,
No. 7, Order of the Eastern Star, in
memory of sister Mrs. Sarah Wallis,

May &c, 1903
1t has pleased Almighty God TO call from
among us sister Mrs. Sarah Wallis, who was "a
charter member OF our chapter; and In her
departure our order has lost loyal and
Jealous member who was ever given to good
works.
Recognizing the wisdom and power of tho
divine hand wDich has thus afflicted us, we
will cherish the name and memory OF our
departed sister. As she was eminent I'm her
devotion to her home, yet not forgetful Of
Of the claims of humanity; as she made
home the center OF love and generous hospi-
tality; as she was unfaltering In her love
for the church and its work; as she sympa-
thized with the afflicted; as she willin6
succored the distressed; as she was self
sacrificing and gave abundantly OF her best
gifts, and a. she fulf He'd with fidelity all
the duties devolving upon her in The various
relations In life, so will we emulate her
virtues and the graces OF her Christian char
acter.
In her relation to Masonry, as a star. all
borrowed light has been returned.
We tender our sincere sympathy to the
family and friends OF our departed sister,
and we pray that God from whom all com
fort comes, Will grant unto them In their
sorrow his unspeakable peace.

mining lands consisting of 6l2 acres,
and located in Miffiin, this county,
sold for sl2500 per acre. 1t is UNDER
stood that Madison parties were the
buyers and tina. they secured the
property principally for mining pur-
poses. This is one of the largest land
deals in the history of the state, and
aids in proving that Iowa county is
one of the best counties in the state.

On complaint of David Bartlett,
Charles r. Magee was arrested last
Thursday charged with stealing under
wear and other clothing from Mr..
Bartlett's barn. Magee had been work.
ing around the grounds and ran across
the clothes in trunk in the barn
where they had been put away until
next fall. Magee claims as a defence
that he thought the clothes were going
to be sent to some missionary and that
inasmuch as he was in need Of some ex-
ira good winter underwear he thought
he might just as well have them as the
missionary. Mr.. Bartlett, however, was
not quite ready to give up his good
clothes to either Magee ora missionary
and made out the complaint. The
hearing took place before Judge Rear
lex who assessed Magee 500 and gave
him 20 days in addition. A settlement
was also made with Mr.. BARTLETT.
Magee should post himself little more
on missionaries. Had he done SO he
would have reached the conclusion
that in the hot climates where they
work, heavy wool underclothes are not
worn.
