X. l. v. BANQUET

We do not know if it should be call
ed a banquet revelry. 1T was good
time to say the least. Each member
was allowed to invite couple and all
gathered, last Saturday evening, at
the Wilson Burnside home. The die
orations were beautifully aud tastely
arranged to represent and have val
entine effect. All were given oddly
designed valentines as souvenirs. The
walls were decorated with pictures
labeled ''My husband as ! first knew
him" and signed by the various wives.
The gentlemen had to write dcscrip
ton of their wives wedding gowns and
the way the memories of this mo-
mentous occasion chung to these was
a marvel even to the wives. Protests
and laughter greeted each successive
reading. The by laws as read showed
an order fearfully and wonderfully
made. The report of the treasurer
showed the treasury department to be
in somewhat depleted condition but
still waxing" strong the delights of
the evening. Each person present
wed with their neighbor to have an
unrestrained good social time.

Farmers have been mistreated in ship
ments and can get no redress and are
simply demanding better service. A
few years ago stock could be got to
market as quick as passengers could
go. Now the stock men lose too much
in shrinkage by the unnecessary de.
lays. Lawyers are doubling the con-
| stitutionality OF forcing roads to give
passes, but stockmen are entitled to
them. They do abuse the use of them
in many instances, tbs true, but in
the majority of cases they make good
use of them. If the roads fail to con-
cede the demands of the shippers they
will be crippled materially and in the
long run ruined, for Government
ownership will be demanded by the
people as the result of the new orga-
nization springing up.

subjects that are likely to interest
both the farmer and his wife and to
be discussed by both. There are many
subjects to choose from that will edu-
cate as we'll as please. When the
farmers wife is led to look upon the
institute work as beneficial to herself,
then / believe she will take an inter-
est in it. Take the present program
for instance. Really, is it one to in
terest a woman? l think not. Those
subjects are good it is true, but have
they not been worn threadbare? Gould
we not drop the eternal subject of

new comes up on the subject) and sub
stitute subjects that will have a ten
dency to make it more of social
gathering. AS for ways of getting the
wives interested, we must first get
them to attend and this is a problem

begin with the officers of the Insti
tute. Do you bring along your wives:
If not, why not? If each one interest

two to come, we would soon succeed
in getting others interested. / wonder
how many farmers or others who at
tend the Institute year after year, ash
their wives to come along. leave
it to their own conscience. | have
heard of Farmers Institute where
the wives take such an interest tina
they take baskets filled with goo6
things along and have dinners in th'

SCRIPTUAL QUOTATIONS

asked TO take a hand in a war of words

and the Rev. Maurice p. O'Conner. rec
tor Of the Church OF the Holy Cross
AT Harrison.
Several days ago the Rev. O'Conner,
from his pupil criticised Mayor Ken

movement against saloons which Father
O'conner mad instituted.
Soon after Mayor Kenny sent a pos
tai card TO Father O'Conner bearing the
quotation from the eighth commandment
Of the Roman Catholic Church, Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor. Father O'Conner became in
censed at this and declared that the ac-
ton was violation OF the postal laws,
and at once turned the matter over 10
the postmaster al Harrison. The post
master forwarded il TO Washington and

Whether or not a Scriptural quotation
can be regarded as a violation OF the

solution win be watched for with inter-
est.

Wileu's Whisky War.

hibitionist and the drinker. diverse as
are their views concerning the use of
liquor, viii be on common ground in
the belief that bogus whisky is worse
in its effects than that which is gen
uine and pure. The spurious article,

~ as a poison. In instances il is
fatal, and no case has been cited in
which the chemical ingredients of the
counterfeit compound are not speci-
fically harmful,

ies DR.. Wiley not only to prove that
IS per cent of whisky is adulteTated,

cent. DR.. Wiley is a thoughtful and
accomplished scientist. He is fight
ing for pure foods. He has not posed
as an advocate of abstinence nor IN
dertaken TO be a missionary in the
field Of morals. Therefore, he comes
TO the contest without prejudice. He

TO avoid guesswork.

NAL and final showing as to their
wares it should not be denied them.
DR.. Wiley has made the accusation.
and the public. believing that he made
il in good faith, is inclined to accent
it as correct.
The food value OF alcohol has been
much discussed, but on the SUPPOSE
ton that in certain proportion alco-
hol is in whisky and other drinks.

ress which tends TO make the system
practical is followed watchfuily
Every advantage offered by it Is seiz-
ed. But il is no exaggeration TO say
that news editors all over the coun-
try are still skeptical on the applica-
ton of wireless telegraphy TO their
uses. The liability of interruption,
the frequent loss of syllables, and the
confusion of messages sent by differ
ent systems make its value SO uncer-
tain that newspapers are everywhere
afraid to rely upon it.
As il develops, and surely it will
develop soon, the newspapers may be
expected to give il all the patronage
at their command. Competition is
keen everywhere these days. but no
where keener than in news gathering
Every aid in that work becomes an
imperative necessity Immediately it
is open to purchase. And perhaps,
within two or three years, storms like
that which evoked our earlier edi-
tor al will put wireless telegraphy to
such test that, meeting 1t with prac-
teal success. electrical cOmmunica-
ton without the use Of wires will
earn a post among the necessary aids
10 the publishing OF newspapers.
Nothing else which the inventors
can accomplish will do so much to put
this new means of communication in
the public confidence. Every dis
patch sent and received will come
within the view of every man who

Modern lnQuisition.

Several persons in Chicago suspect
ed of murder have been put through
an ordeal tending to make them con-
TESS. One by one they faced the body
Of their supposed victim, which had
been so placed as TO seem 10 be
pointing an accusing finger. This is
a plan not unfrequently adopted by
the police. II would have befitted the
days Of the Inquisition; # is out of
date now.
or course, the police have a hope
that even if this method of torture
fails 10 evoke confession, il viii
cause the prisoner 10 make some dis
play OF his guilt He may shrink from
the test. show signs of terror. become
hysterical, or remain callous. He
can be sure that anything he does
viii be construed against him. There
is no rule Of determining how a guilty
person would act under given cir
cumstances as contrasted with the
circumstances. Mere fright might
cause a demonstration Of feeling that
the watchful sleuth would be quick 10
interpret as the evidence of remorse.
The knowledge Of being under sus-
piciOn must be a terrible strain Add
20 this the presence Of an accusing
corpse and a hostile set of specta-
tors, and a prisoner is under a dis
advantage 10 which il is unjust that
he be subjected.
When a prisoner can be induced to
confess. much trouble is saved in the
matter OF ascertaining the truth. Il
does not follow that the police have
the legal privilege OF putting him on
the rack. Such a course is in viola
ton OF the constitutional right o.
every American in jail or out.
