A Graceful Dodger.

Royce, who prates so much about
loyalty to the party, has not yet stat
ed how many Of the republican nom
inees for state offices he intends to
bolt.-Herald.
We suppose that when a man gets
into the habit of boiling his ticket,
he Is like one under the influence of
liquor who imaglnes everybody he sees
is drunk but himself. In his present
awkward position, Lyman has our
sympathy, but he should not hold us
responsible. We did the 0est we
could to hold him In line at the last
election.
The above Is taken from the last
weeks Issue Of the Dispatch. 1t
shows the habit the editor OF that
paper has Of evading the question at
issue and attempting to lead the read
er off on a blind track. However
readers Of the Dispatch will not be
deceived by his little parry. Nearly
half OF the matter milking up the
column from which the above was
taken condemns the republican nomi-
nee for secretary OF state, and is
intended to prejudice the public a
gainst him and indicates that Mr.,
Burrow will not receive his vote. II
Mr.. Royce does this from conScient'
ious motives 1t is right. But the
point is this; II wrong for Others II
bolt it is also wrong for Mr. Royce.
If he can bolt his party's nominees,
consistency Others can too He should
be consistent otherwise he will soon
be unable to hold any one "in line"

Veeh For Commissioner.

Fred Veeh of Belmont township
who has served the county and repre-
sented the second district in the Office
of commissioner for several years, de-
sires to ask denomination at the hands
of the republican party.
Those who recommend him to the
people Of Phillips county feel that he
has filled the position In an acceptable
manner, and point to several instances
In which his official action has saved
a good many dollars to the tax payers
OF the county. They point to this
record as the best reason for his nomi-
nation. He is well acquainted over
the county, is a strong and true repub-
llcan, a good canvaSser and vote getter
and will make a strong campaign.
With Mr.. veeh as the party nominee
there will be no doubt about the cleo
tlon of a republican commissioner in
this district.

DRUG-TAKING AMONG AUTHORS
Evidences of the DemOraIizing ard
Destructive Habit Found in
Their Writings.

One is astonished at the frequent and
unmistakable signs of spirit and drug
addiction of popular authors. Uncon-
sciously these writer's describe their
own condition in the characters they
portray, and the theories and state
ments which the heroes and heroines
are made to express, are the Utmost
thoughts of the authors.
A recent popular novel makes the
hero most brilliant and sagacious
after using wine moderately. True
to life, the supposed brilliant state
ments are jumbles of words and rhet-
oric which the author clearly wrote
while under the use of spirits He also
justifies immoralities of conduct by
childish excuses, the personality of
which reflects his own experience.
In another popular book, the author
Is clearly a drug-taker. The vague,
dre2my, illusionary style and manner
of thought and conduct of the charac-
ter described is clearly that of NOR
phia or opium-taker. The uncertain
ties and the alternately confused and
dogmatic thoughts are marked charac-
teristics. The writer hoped by invest

ing them through an irregular unusual
line of conduct to produce q book out

THE PULSE OF REFORM.

Bishop Emard, of Valleyfield, Que
bee, has issued a strong pastoral letter
upon the liquor question, practically
condemning the use of liquor in voting
contests.
The city authorities of Little Rock,
Ark, have under consideration a prop
Csition to increase Sic annual saloon
license in that city from $3.50 to $1,000,
payable in advance. The total license,
then, city, county and state, would be
81 ,S21 per annum on each license.
The common council of Grand Rap
ids, Mich, has taken a firm stand
against the refunding of saloon licenses
originally in the names of employees,
and afterwards, upon the discharge of
these employees, taken out in their own
names. incidentally, the aldermen have
Endorsed the no-transfer principle up
on which the committee on license has
been acting for some time past.
In California there are only 20 voters
to every liquor dealer; in Louisiana
the proportion is even greater, there
being one liquor dealer to every Is vot-
ers. Illinois has one liquor dealer to
every 81 voters. The proportion is
smallest in North Carolina, where
there are 124 voters to every liquor
dealer. In Utah the proportion is one
liquor dealer to every ia voters, which
would seem to indicate that the Nor.
mons, whatever else their faults, ar.
not greatly given to drinking liquor

Billion Dollar Grass.

When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La
Crosse, Wis, introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did they dream
it would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Ayr. Editors wrote about it, Ayr Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Ayr In
stitute Orators talked about it, while in
the farm home by the quiet freside, in the
corner grocery, in the village posC-office, at
the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher-
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
5 to IA tons per acre and lots of pasture
besides, is always theme worthy of the
farmers voice.
Then comes Bromus Inerms, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent
hay producer on earth. Grows wherever
soil is found. Then the farmer talks about

Of the common order. In reality he
revealed his secret drug taking and his
own vague, uncertain mentality. Much
Of this work was written while under
the influence of drugs.
Probably the cocaine-taker stamps
his habits more wildly in his writings
than the alcoholic or other drug-takers
Several very popular books proved the
cocaslism of the authors The easy
flow of words and ideas, like a quiet
stream of water, progresses noiselessly
without jar or change One thought
suggests another and one situation is
followed by many others equally dra-
matte, and each is, described without
purpose or plan. Through it all run
snatches of poetry, rhetoric, figures of
speech and sonorous adjectives. The
characters are moved up and down the
stage in a hazy twilight of words with
out plan or purpose, and disappear to
make way for others equally mystical.
Other stories give evidence of having
been written in coffee or tea delirum.
The assertiveness of the characters
their brusqu2 entrance and exit, Their
promise of great things which only
fade away into uncertainties, show this
condition.
In the drug and spirit-taker the
childish efforts of the authors to con-
ceal their personality and habits of life
make more prominent their condition.
In the tea and coffee drinkers there is
state of mind at the time of the writ
ing. 1t is assumed that the mind is
perfect and intact In some of the
books written by these persons, there
has been evident a well thought out
sadly married by the attempt to force
the brain by tea or coffee.
No clear, consecutive brainwork can
ever be done under the influence of
spirits, drugs, tea or coffee A tired,
wornout man or woman attempts to do
literary work under the influence of
these narcotics and fails. The critical
student finds unmistakable evidence of
the failure in the abnormal state of
the authors mind. The vagaries of lit
erature and the number of strange sto-
ries and theories advocated are ex-
planned in many instances by the drug
psychOses or disordered minds of the
authors.
This most interesting study will as
tonish and surprise the reader as it un-
wells the personality. habits of life
and thoughts of the authors in the pa
