HUGHES COUNTY WILL EXHIBIT IN
WlDMANN HOTEL AT MITCHELL.

In order to have an exhibit of
the agricultural products of
Hughes county at Mitchell during
the magnificent corn palace
festivities, arrangements have
been made for a display in a
pleasant room on the first door of
the Widmann hotel, fronting on
Main street.
Application for space for the
Hughes county exhibit in the corn
palace itself was made early in
August, but after a considerable
time tie application was rejected.
In spite of this rejection, how
ever, it was determined that the
thousands of visitors of the palace
should be afforded an opportunity
to know the agricultural cap
abilities of the Pierre region, and
SO an outside exhibit was arranged.
Those who may attend the
Mitchell event arc invited to visit
this Hughes county exhibit in the
Widmann hotel, and see for them
selves the splendid products of the
section which just now is attract
ing the attention of thousands of
honeseekers. !,
u will be such display as will
astaund any who have believed the
stories as to the ''bafrenness" Of
the, Missouri river country.

COUNTY TIOKET
Platform Adopted by Pro.
Co. Convention.

Resozued, That the Prohibition
lists of Potter county hereby dis
claim and repudiate the charge
that they are in politics for the
sake of the Offices, and for that
reason have placed in nomination
but three candidates to fill the lead
ing Offices, as representing the
greatest issue before the American
people.
Resolved, That the theory of the
old parties, that county and state
officials have nothing to do with
enforcing prohibitory laws until
they are furnished with sworn COM
plants, is opposed to and destruc-
tive of good government, and we
declare it to be the purpose of the
Prohibition party, when it is plac-
ed in power, to relieve the indi.
vidual of the necessity of being a
spy and informer, in order to far
nish county officers with evidence.
Resolved, That Potter county,
being situated next to and adjoin-
ing the Cheyenne River Indian
Reservation, needs and demands d
party in power which will at least
aid in enforcing the Y. S. statute
against giving or selling liquor to
Indians.
Resolted, That we consider that

protection of our firesides from

Republicans seem to take great
delight in taunting us upon Par
ker's gold standard sentiments.
They put it at us as tho it was
terrible thing for a man entertain
ing such opinions to aspire to be-
come President. Well. bless your
dear souls. it is somewhat tough to
be compelled to vote for such
man, but they coincide exactly
with Roosevelt's, and if wrong
land we think they are) it should
be just as bitter a dose for you Re
publicans to swallow as for us
Democrats. only we haven't learn
ed the art of looking pleasant when
taking a bitter pill like a man who
has been riding on the Republican
band wagon.-Lebanon lndepcn't.
Is the above sample of the po-
litical arguments we are going to
have this year in Potter county!
If the gold standard is bitter pill
for our Democratic friends, how is
it about protective tariff, expan
sion, etc. There is two more bit
ter pills, at least, for them. Cap
.talists now rule our Presidents
and Congress-as the Populists as
sert,-and as we understand it, the
majority of our capitalists are for
a protective tariff.
The Prohibitionist doesn't have
any such bitter pill to swallow.
His issue is the enforcement of the
laws and License or No-License.
5 To great many voters this does
not appear in the light of real,
live question; and we think that is
because they look at the question
from LOCAL standpoint. Be-
cause the saloons, perhaps, of Pot
ter county (or some other county,
are living up to the license law,
they cannot see the necessity of
Prohibition.
But the leading railroads and
other corporations have rule that
u person in their employ cannot
visit saloons without being in dan
ger of dismissal; the majority Of
the states are teaching their school
children that intoxicants and nico-
tine are injurious to health; all
of the religious organizations con-
demn saloons and the license sys-
tenn: many, if not most, of the
fraternal societies refuse admis-
sion to liquor-sellers.
Now, the question is, is the vot-
er going to continue to deposit his
ballot directly in opposition to the
teachings Of the above named agen-
cies which are at work for temper
ance and sobriety.
1t took a new political party and
a bloody war to convince the voter
of 80 and go that slavery was a
national issue.
The Prohibition party is organ
lied and in business to endeavor to
convince the present day voter that
LICENSE is q national question.

Government ownership of the
railroads is no new thing for this
writer to advocate. In 1890 we
endorsed that idea. We are more
than convinced now that that idea
is right. Lebanon Independent.
The PRESS is also in favor of the
above proposition-with a ''but'.
The Populist party has advocated
-impliedly-the ownership Of
rolling stock as we'll as track.
That is where we differ with them.
The government should own and
build railroad tracks, in the Phil
ippines and Alaska, for instance,
and lease them to the operating
company paying the highest bid
with an additional tax of per
centage of gross or net income.
This would insure a complete re.
port to the government of all the
financial transactions of such roads
Another point of difference is
that the government should only
build and maintain transcontinen-
tai lines. That would be 70 make
them commerce-carriers, under
congressional laws, instead of local
freights, SO to speak. In the for
mer case the government would be
acting within its legitimate sphere;
In the other, they would remain
under state regulation.
Another idea, which President
Roosevelt and Editor Harmon ap-
parently have not yet dreamed of,
is this: the numerous cruisers
which Uncle Sam has now in COM
mission shes,ld also be t,srned into
cornmerce-carriers, instead of be-
ing a drain on the nations finan-
'cial resourcess They SHOULD be

yet, as compared with the other

This paper is Il Prohibition par
ty organ because
First, the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties are fighting over
old issues, which the citizen voter
should consider settled.
Second, because we consider the
gold standard, expansion, and pro-
tective tariff as established policies
of this government, and the Pro
hibition party is not organized to
repeal or upset them.
Third, because the old parties
do not pretend to enforce the pro-
hibitory laws that legislatures
pass, especially in the large cities.
Fourth, the voter is not abridg-
ed in his right to drink by the
passage and enforcement Of laws
prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors and opium in our ter
ritories, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine islands. These the old par
ties refuse to give us.
Fifth, because the old parties,
when they neglect and refuse to
enforce one law, ''because you
can't enforce it,, are morally GER
tain to be incapable Of enforcing
other useful and benefcent laws
also.

DIR. Llewellyn Jordan, medical exam
liner of the U. S. treasury department,
graduate of Columbia college, and who
served three years at West Point, has
the following to say of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
TO you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth a vast change
and | now consider myself a well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
A constantly increasing number OF
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven it's merits sc
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against so
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only in.
ternal systemic catarrh remedy
known to the medical profession today
Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the
cause of one-half the disease which
afflicts mankind. Catarrh and ca.
tarrhal diseases afflict one-half of tn,
people of the United States.

have frequently advised its use for
women, as l find ii insures regular and
painless menstruation, cures leucorr-
hoea and ovarian troubles, and builds
up the entire system. 1 also consider
it one of the finest catarrh remedies I
know of. IN. G. Gee, M. d.
Catarrh is a systemic disease cur
able only by systemic treatment. A
remedy that cures catarrh must aim di-
rectly at the depressed nerve centers.
This is what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna
