come a blessing to any county.

Vote out the saloon, and the
dollar blesses both the family
and the merchant. Those who
may send off for jug are only
a drop in a bucket" by the side
of the army of dram drinkers who
are caught only by the sight of a
saloon. The cash will remain
to bless the family and add to
every line of necessary business.
This is the testimony of truthful
business men in every dry +"
county.
BLIND TIGER TALK.
The wet" man says there is,
or will be, as much liquor sold in
the dry" as in the wet" coun-
ty! Why do men make such abb
surd statements? Think a mo-
ment: When men are put under
restraint and have to use the ut
most caution, how, in the name
Of common sense. could they sell
as much liquor as they could in
the open saloon that has been
made legitimate and lawful, and
where no caution is needed +?
The assertion is too absurd. Did
you ever see barrels and kegs
about a blind tiger" piled up so
high as to almost defy the leap
OF a greyhound? If the asser-
ton is true the saloon men are
fools for paying a license. But
the assertion is not true, even
if the blind tiger" should come.
If he puts in his appearance he
will find a watch at the gate.
School Money DeluSion.
You believe that the license
money goes into the school funds
do you? Well, if this were true.
it il shocking to think that some
people are willing TO educate their
out of the Indebtedness,
sqUalor and damnation OF others.
Bur this blood money does not
go into the school fund. Here it
goes: One-half goes into the State
treasury, one-fourth into the city
and one-fourth into the
county treasury - but not for
schools in any treasury. The $3.50
that goes into the county treas
lIT is crime money, " and yet
one case of crime will swallow it
whole and leave the taxpayer
TO bring up the balance Of the
cost. Instead Of helping the
schools, it is an expense to every
school in the land.

b WAR INDEMNITY.
NOW COMES IN, THE DIPLOMATIC
CUNNING FOR WHICH RUSSIA
,...s e. IS FAMOUS.

st. Petersburg, March 30.-The AS
ISOLATED Press is in a position to an
nounce that a step in the direction
of peace has been taken. F
Russia has indirectly made known
to Japan the negative conditions upon
which peace may be concluded,
namely, no cession of territory and no
indemnity, leaving Japan to determine
whether negotiations can be begun
upon that basis. -.
No reply from Japan has yet
reached the Russian government.
The above represents practically all
the facts obtainable. Through what
channel or channels Russia has indi-
rectely communicated, with Japan the
Associated Press is not in position
to state definitely, although there is
reason to believe that it is through
the United States.
Russia avoids the attitude of suing
kor peace or actually submitting pro.
posals and besides places the United
States and Great Britain and the pow
ers generally in position where they
could offer Japan advice as to the rea
sonableness of. the proposed basis.
Having been appraised of Russia's po
sitton Japan has two alternatives
either to decline absolutely to oper
negotiations on such a basis or indi
cate her own attitude. If the negotia
tons are opened Russia probably will
be prepared to make broad conces
sions on collateral issues as stated
by the Associated Press.

ACCEPTS RocKEFELLER's GIFT.
Action Of American Board for Foreign
f.. -. Missions. r..

.s..Is,. Missions. 49,.
Boston, March 3O-The American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions announced during the day
that its prudentials committee had &C.
cepted a report of the subcommittee
recommending, the acceptance of the
gift of 100000 by John D. Rockefel-
Ter, but that final action on the matter
had been postponed for two weeks.
The report of the subcommittee, in
the language of a statement issued
by the board during the day, was re-
ceived and accepted as expressing the
utmost judgment of the prudential
committee and the executive officers"
and was to the effect that the commit
tee could not accede to the protest of
those who objected to the acceptance
of the gift.
The report also stated that the gift
was offered by Mr.. Rockefeller ana
unanimously accepted by the pruden-
tial committee on Feb. IA last. It
says that in accepting the gift the
committee followed the universal GUS
tom Of the church in the past sin re-
ceiving upon it's affairs the gifts of all
who were moved to lay them there
on"
The report holds that the accept
ance of a gift involves no expression
Of opinion on the part of the commit
tee as to the character of the givers
and to intercept gift made to 9TH
ers in order to express an opinion
seems unwarrantahle.

Independent Companies File Com.
plant in Minnesota.
St. Paul, March 3O.-The state OF
Minnesota will soon be engrossed with
the oil question, as the state of Kan
sas now is. The independent dealers
the state have filed a formal com.
plant with the railroad and ware
house commission in which they al.
lege that because of the excessive
freight rates charged them for the
transportation of their products in
less than carload lots to local points
they are unable to compete success
fully with their giant competitor, the
Standard Oil trust.
The plaintiffs do not mention Mr..
Rockefeller's company directly in
their complaint, but by the use of the
term independents" inferentially
draw attention to the existence of the
oil octupus.
The complaint, as formally drawn
up by the Independent dealers of the
Twin Cities, deals with alleged exces-
sive and unreasonable rates in oil,
gasoline and other products of petro-
leum and is directed against all roads
doing business in the state, thirty in
number.
The particular feature Of the COM
plant upon which special stress is
laid is the classification of the COM
modities referred to as third class
when shipped. in less than carload
lots. The complainants' contend that
the fair and reasonable compensation
for transporting such merchandise
would not exceed the rates now
charged for commodities of the fourth
class. Such q classification would re-
duce the existing rates from 20 to Is
per cent

Washington, March 30.-Secretary
Taft made no declarations during the

not likely that this government would

Robbed Stores, Churches, School,

Chicago, March Soften boys of
Harvey, a suburban town, have con-
fessed to the robbery of eighteen
stores, three churches, two school
houses and railway station. The
plumber consisted of candy, gum and
pennies and it was too free distri-
button of the candy at school that at

band, who had led them merry
chase for months.
Il We started it just for fun" sobbed
one of the culprits, "but when we got
into It we couldn't stop. We just had
to go right on stealing because there
was always some boy that didn't have
what he wanted"
The boys. whose ages range from
twelve to fifteen years, are all Of res
pectable families. Their hearty re-
pentance. added to the pleading OF
their parents. induced Judge Mack to
release the prisoners on probation.

Japan's Peace Terms Reported to Be
Very Rigorous.

Japan's Peace Terms Reported to Be
Very Rigorous.
Paris, March 30.-AI the official In
formation relative to peace is of a
negative nature. At the same time
the official view is now strongly opti-
mistic that peace is not far distant.
This view is not due to exact informa-
ton, but is the result of settled con-
victiOn that peace is the only logical
outcome of Russia's present predica-
ment. However, the foreign Office re-
fuses to credit the various reports
that France is taking a hand in the
negotiations or preliminaries and spe-
cifcally denies the report from a
Northern capital that Russia has
asked Foreign Minister Delcasse to
act as intermediary.
1t is intimated in a high quarter
that it makes no difference which St.
Petersburg decides relative to asking
for peace as it will remain for Toxic
to accept or reject it. Therefore it is
maintained the peace situation has
shifted from st. Petersburg to Toxic,
which now holds the key to the peace
question.
Although official information is lack
ing it is asserted in we'll informed
quarters tat Japan has permitted
Russia to learn that the peace condi-
lions will be severely rigorous and
will not be responsive to the recent
sentimental plea to Japan's mag
nanimity. In particular it is said
that Japan's indemnity figure is $780,
100000 and that this stupendous sum
has proved so staggering to Russian
diplomacy that it is the chief cause
why the peace prelininaries do not
advance to a decisive stage.
