Voting Out the Dispensary.

It is probable that one-third Of the
counties Will soon vote out dispen-
saries under the Brice act. The
whiskey question would be easily
solved if voting could Go It. IN these
elections the earnest conscielc:o'.s
prohibit:onists will vote against the
dispensaly. The men who desire
whiskeE sold under license by private
individuals will oppose the dispen-
sary. thinking that getting rid OF
them is the first step to saloons
Then there are many persons who
will vote against the dispensary al
though they once thought it the
best method of controlling the sale of
whiskey They see so much corrup-
don and dishonesty in its manage
ment that they will oppose it. The
dispensa1y will have many support
ers, sober, clean, honest men; who
still believe that it is better to have
whiskey sold by the State rather
than by private barkeepers. The evils
Of the saloon, with the gambling
rooms attached and kept open day
and night with side entrance on
Sunday, and all the inducements and
allurements possible held out to peo-
ple to drink. are remembered by them
and they prefer any thing to that
condition.
But it is not the coming election
ana the arguments III favor Of, or
against the dispensary that is the
most serious question. Dispensary
or no dispensary, there are too many
men capable of highest attainments
and usefulness, who are weakening
the foundations Of character and
sinking to lower moral levels every
year by the habitual use Of whiskey.
There are genial, honest, good busi-
ness men, professional men, skilled
and able. farmers who are models in
some respects. that are gradually go

habit is fixed On them. 1t is bad
enough to see a young man, the hope
of his mother, giving way by degrees
to this habit; but it is worse to see
the husband, with children growing
up in the home, bringing shame to
his family by this constantly increas-
| ing habit. 1t is said that. if q mali

WILL NOW FIGHT THE HARDER,
Neither Directly Nor Through The
United States Or Any Other Power
As Much In Earnest Today as
Ever.

Washington, Jan. 3. - Japan has
made no overtures for peace to Rus
STA, directly or indirectly, through the
United States or any other power and
contemplates no such action, and, now
that Port Arthur has fallen, purposes
to press the war in the north all the
more vigorously by reinforcing the
Japanese armies at Lao Yang with
the greater part Of the troops which
have been besleging Port Arthur.
This, in brief, represents the views OF
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister.
1.-THE fall Of Port Arthur" said the
minister, rs but a step In the war
which Japan is wagins for principle.
Certainly 1t Is an important step, but
nothing could be further from the
truth than the assumption that be-
cause Japan has captured a strong
hold, the fall OF which has long been
expected, the Japanese government
will now make oyertures for peace.
Japan is too busy fighting. We are as
much in earnest today as we were at
the outset Of the war. We have made
| no overtures for peace, either direct.
| ly or indirectly, nor have the powers
approached us with any idea Of inter-
vention."
AT the Russian embassy it was re-
iterated that Russia would fight all
the harder in view Of the temporary
loss of Port Arthur,
Europe, 1t is learned, is firmly Of
the conviction that, however dark the
outlook for peace al this moment,
when the prospect brlghtens it Is to
| President Roosevelt that the neutrals
as well as the bellgertnts will look
as the intermediary through whom
peace negotiations will be Initiated.
| As q European ambassador said to-
day, the American government IL
| practically the only government to
which both belligerents will BIO will
Ing to look for assistance in reaching
q settlement when the time comes,
and, aside from this fact, the high re-
gard in which the president is held at
St,petersburg and Toxic makes 1t
all the more probable that through
him, when Russia and Japan have
fought their fight, the powers must
hope for peace.

Dr. Stills school enrolls over 100 students
YEARLY and each student is required to at

completing the courseof study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac'

Union. About two-thirds Of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy is substituted for that. So
thorough Is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis

AT the Infrnary, patients from every

form Of disease are constantly under trest-

every train coming to Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping TO fndre-

thousands who have left the institution
benefited BY the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as safe and
rational method Of cure, Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department Of the school
and this is still In operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay ior

AMENDMENT IS OFFERED,
A Point Introduced Concerning Arizona
And New Mexico.

Washington, Jan. 6. 49, An amend
ment to the statehood bill has been
introduced by Senator Foraker In
tended to permit the inhabitants OF
either New Mexico or Arizona to re.
ject the constitution of the proposed
state to be created by combining the
two territories. The bill as reported
to the senate from the committee on
territories provides that the consti'
tuition shall be submitted to the peo.
pie Of the proposed state for its rati'
fication Or rejection, "and If a ma
jority Of the legal votes cast on that
question shall be for the constltu-
tion the said canvassing board shall
certify the result to the president
Of the United States" etc. The
amendment proposes that a major
ity Of votes must be cast in leach"
Of the territories in order to ratify
the constitution.
Opponents Of the statehood bill,
that Is, those who advocate the adj
mission of the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma as one state but urge that
no action be taken at this time in re-
gard to Arizona and New Mexico, be-
lieye that the Foraker amendment
outlines the character OF the contest
that will be waged against state
hood legislation. They declare that
the people Of Arizona are not ready
for statehood If compelled to accept
1t In the form Of an annex to New
