A Voice from Spicer.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-H a couutry's fu-
ture welfare and strength depend upon
the respect that its citizens may have
for the laws of the land what should
be said of man or newspaper that
in several respects, or as far as he or
it may dare, seeks to ridicu]e and null
lily the verdict of the people at the
polls and incite disrespect for exist
ing laws? Such a paper we have in
the Republican Gazette and such q
1nan in the correspondent whose writ
ings from Spicer appeared in recent
issue of that paper. If such men were
sent to the legislature, no doubt laws
would be passed that would be broad
enough to allow the doors of any evil
to go UNPUBLISHED.
The people of Green Lake have de-
cided that existing laws shall be en-
forced, and the officers elected will see
to that the wishes of the people are
carried out Fortunately there are a
large number of our people who do
not have the said reporters idea OF
what constitutes a live or a dead
town. Most of US prefer to have a
town like the one up the line, where
Sunday is Sunday, and where the peo-
pie can afford to take some other day
of the week for their sports.

Editor Box, the versatile and tai
ented editor of the Ladies' Home
journal, gives full-page editorial to
the patent medicine curse. he cata-
logues three dozen patent medicines,
including Lydia Pinkham's Com
pound, Paine's Celery Compound, sew
eral sarsaparillas, Peruna and other
we'll known remedies which contain
from twelve to nearly fifty per cent of
. alcohol by volume. BE also scathing-
ly rebukes christian ~ newspapers
for publishing advertisements of these
intoxicants.
Hit 'em again, Br'er Eddie. They
need it. There can be no doubt that q
vast amount of injury is done directly
thru the use OF these nostrums and
that the taste for intoxicants is often
implanted by their use. But it is alb
surdly silly to compare the evils of
these patent medicines with the evils
of the beverage liquor traffic. Imag-
inc man taking double tablespoon
full of some of these medicines and CO.

home to brain his wife with the roll
ling pin and chasing the children with
the bootjack or raising Hades with
horns on in the thousand other ways

blood. The man that wants to 90 to
hell in hurry does not go nosing
round for patent medicines. He takes
a straight hike for wet goods store
and proceeds to decorate his interior
with the goods made for that purpose.

careless newspapers the best you have
in the house, Br'er Eddie, but don t

Chicago Convention Comment.

The National Convention OF the So.
cialist party of America was held at
Brands hall, corner of North Clark
and Erie streets, Chicago, last week,
Sunday to Friday inclusive.
For president, Eugene V. Debs, OF
Indiana; for vice president, Benjamin
Hanford, of New York. Thus reads
the national ticket nominated.
The fiercest fight IF the convention
was on program and trade unions
The struggle ended in an overwhelm
ing victory for. the retention OF an ion.
mediate working program and the ia
vorable recognition of the merits OF
trade unionism.
The platform adopted Is formul ated
on the fundamental principles of in
teri ational socialism, scientific and
revolutionary, moulded in the frame
of American facts and ideals.
The nomination of 1.-THE Hero OF
Woodstock Jail" was moved by Prof
Geo. D. Heron IN. Y J, seconded by
Hon. Jas. F. Carey MASS J, and un-
animously endorsed by the convention.
A feature of the convention was the
numerous quota OF clergymen found
on the floor of the convention. They
constituted about 6 per cent of the
whole delegation. Among the min
listers of the gospel present were tiv.
coneregationalists, two Methodists,
two Roman Catholics, one Baptist,
one Unitarian, and one Episcop liar.
AS far as known, they are all mem.
bers In good standing in their respec.
tive deqomin ations, and they are all
active ind prominent advocates OF
Socialism. This Is further evidence
of the fact GU that "no one can be, a
Socialist without being an atheist. u

drink, snatches his little boy from the
cradle by the feet and dashes his
brains out against the wall. These
are not fancies and imaginative, but
are culled from the news items. Min
nesota alone last week chronioled six
deaths due to the liquor traffic. DR..
Willard Parker, the eminent physi-
clan of New York, estimates that the

FROM BEACHY ISLAND.
Ill-Fated Expedition of English Explor-

North on the Island-Ruins Of Huts,
Broken Boats and Large Quantities
of Provisions Found on the Site.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Winnipeg, Man, Oct 22.-Five lonely
graves were among the objects which
met the eyes of Albert Low and his
dian government steamer Neptune on
Reachy island, Lancaster sound, last
August. Beachy island was the first
winter stopping place of Sir John
Franklin on his Inflated attempt to find
northwest passage.
Rude wooden monuments over the
graves showed two to be of Franklin s
men, and the other three those of men
Of later arctic expeditions: Not far
'huts which had been used as winter
quarters in days gone by. Two broken
boats, one sloop6and the other life
boat, were lying on the icy shore. Seat
tc1ed around and in huts were vast
quantities Of provisions-oatmeal peas,
beans, flour, cheese and timed meats.
Mr.. Low says Franklin's expedition
was supplied with this meat, and that
at Beachy island fully half of it was
found to be unfit for food and left
there His theory is that the disaster
which later overlook the party may
have been due to the remainder of the
meat going bad and scuryy breaking
out. s.
Mr.. Low also found at Beachy island
an important record left by the ship
Gioa of the Swedish magnetic pole
expedition. It was dated Aug. q, 1903
It is said that the party had gone down
BILE to the magnetic pole. Mr.. Low
brought. away the record, which he has
handed to the Canadian government
and a copy will be sent to the Swedish
government, as the ship is still III the
arctic regions.
