Secretary Calderwood can see as far
into grindstone as the next one.
Concerning the recent attitude of the
Minneapolis dailies on Sunday-closing,
he says:
The Minneapolis Journal and Minnea-
polls Tribune pat. Joe Folk on the head
make nasty school-boy faces at the citi-
zens who are seeking to enforce the
same law in Minneapolis. Why don't
these papers buy enough Saturday
night to last them over and not prate
their privations before the public?

the close of the meal, being introduced by
Chairman Higgins, Chairman Jones
>rnva brief outline of the work and
plans of the National Committee. He
reports most satisfactory results from
the use of the Prohibition plate matter
which the Committee is furnishing to
newspapers over the land. About
twenty such papers in South Dakota
are using this matter although most
of them are editorially supporting one
of the old parties. A weekly news
bulletin is being mailed to about 200
papers and it is hoped that this num-
ber will be largely increased. A large
proportion of the churches are now
open to the work of the Prohibition
Alliances. Chairman Jones strongly
urged thr gsnomination of a Prohibition
candidate for every office at every
election. When person has been
induced to vote for Prohibition can
didate for lesser office it is much
easier for him to fully ally himself
with our party. He is delighted with
what Minnesota Prohibitionists ac-
complished in their legislative fight
last fall and with the greater things
which they purpose to do in the COM
ing campaign. He announced that the
movement to put Rev. e. l.. Eaton OF
Pittsburg into the field as organizer
of Ministerial Prohibition Alliances
was progressing and dates were al
ready being made for the doctor.
Chairman Jones was en- route to the
Pacific coast. He will speak at the
National Temperance Congress at
Portland, Ore, confer with state COM
mittees of Coast states and attend the
Southern California conference at
Long Beach. Returning, he will stop
at Denver, Kansas City, st. Louis and
other important points.
HOW TO WIN.
National Chairman chas. r. Jones
Points out the Plain and Only Path
to Victory. The Prohibition Par
tys Greatest Need To-day.
The battle, so far as public senti-
ment alone is concerned, is already
won. The point on which our atten-
tion should be focused at the pres
ent hour is plain. How shall we crys-
talize this sentiment, harness it to
achieve it's own prayers, and marshal
it upon the field of politics to capture
the breastworks of the enemy, and
plant the flag of Prohibition where the
TGu UduuGI Ol lCSdIACO VIZ cAN ~
tected anarchy flaunts itself today? In
other words, what are the Methods
of Victory?"
Organization of the ward, the pre-
cinct and the smallest election dis
trict is the first step to immediate ad-
vance politically for moral reform.
We have today thousand earnest,
self-sacrificing Prohibition speakers
to one successful hand-to-hand per-
sonal worker and vote-getter. The
figures ought to be absolutely revers-
ed. For every public speaker who can
preach Prohibition gospel to the peo-
pie en- masse, there should be score,
a hundred or thousand personal
workers, who may know only one OF
two or half a dozen friends well
enough to win them, but who will sue
ceed in doing that much, and will hold
them in line for the Great Reform

THE TAGGART ARMY SCANDAL.

How eagerly numerous army Of
ficers rushed into print to explain that
the lurid deviltry in army circles ex-
posed in Major Taggart's divorce trial
is not sample of official army life
throughout the United States.
Is it possible that the consciences
of these official champions of army
rectitude are making fools of their
owners till the world will say "Me-
thinks they do protest too much, and
conclude that their clamor is to con-
ceal the ominous ratings of other
army skeletons?
Army officers have always had well
appointed canteens which the anti-can-
teen CD law did not disturb What
devils job is this of Major Taggart's
retinue! How unfortunate that this
record of disgusting debauchery in the
one branch of military life where the
beer-and-whisky club still reigns SUI
preme should get into all the papers.
And now it is not unlikely that tenn
perance fanatics will demand that Of
ficial boozing ought to stop, that the
officers canteen must go, and that
Major Taggart and a thousand other
army drunkards now bearing commits
sions from Uncle Sam should leave
the service and let sober, God-fearing
men take charge of things hereafter.

dates to that part of the state. Our
comrades there have not been slow to
appreciate the fact that this offer
means the greatest series of entertain
ments and the biggest vote-making
propaganda ever put up in that part OF
our great commonwealth-a section
which is almost an empire in itself.
State Headquarters has been and is
busy in the correspondence prepara-
tory to Mr.. Stewards two months trip.
He begins with an address at the
Northern M. e. conference at Eveleth,
Oct. 7. 1t is safe to say that on that
occasion he will pull the throttle wide
open and within a very few days there
after very few people living near the
Aurora Borealis and outside OF the in
sane asylum will inquire "Who is
Oliver w. Stewart" The dates in,
that section and down to Duluth are
pretty we'll fixed. From that city MIR.
Stewart goes northwest over the Great
Northern to Crookston and Lancaster
in the extreme northwestern corner OF
the state, then down to Fergus Falls
and thence toward Minneapolis, STOP
ping en- route at points which have
been fortunate and bright enough to
engage him. He spends few days In
the counties north and northeast or the
Twin Cities and then crosses the state
to Corrcll, not far from the South Da
kota line. This trip closes the 9th OF
December Arrangements are under
way, however, to have Mr.. Stewart
return to the state on the 9th OF jan
uary for twenty-day engagement
Secretary Calderwood will accom-
pany Mr.. Stewart during large share
of the present engagement and there
are those that suspect that between
the platform utterances and the per-
sonaI efforts of these two giants OF
our movement there will be something
doing.
