New York Mail: These crisp Nov
ember days fix the line of demarca-
ton between wise nen and men who
coddle themselves. The collegian's
love for athletics in ten years has
grown to be a. national trait. 1t may
be responsible for Americas belated
understanding that it is not nece
sary to be a much-wrapped mummy in
order to be healthy and comfortable
in cool weather. Brisk walking is
worth a wilderness of wool and worst
ed. And it is we'll for the race that
more men are learning that the I'M
covered throat is an open door to
health.

Poor Bargain.

Madison Leader: The defeated
bolter candidates in Lake county who
loaned their names to the Kittredge
machine to bolster up a ticket to
enable it to carry out its purposes,
received what was coming to them on
election day. At no time did the
Kittredge l~ieutenants calculate to ac-
complish more than the election Of
the senatorial candidate on the bolt
ers' ticket. In this they devoted all
their energies and the other candid
ates were used simply as a back
ground. This was the political game
of the machine-and it was played in
every county in the state where the
possibility offered. 1t was successful
in Lake county. Tremendous effort
was brought to bear in Lake county
to accomplish this n thing. The
Kittredge postmaster Of Madison was
t~ireless in his work to secure the
election of the bolter candidate for
state senator against the regular re-
publican nominee. In addition to
this e. B. Kelley, agent for the Indi-
ans at Rosebud agency, spent several
d in this county during the cam
IMFSA, and his work in behalf Of the
machine is apparent in his former
home township of Herman where the
bolter candidate received a majority
of 81 out of a vote of SO over the
regular republican nominee. Herman
township has heretofore been one of
the strongest straight republican
townships in the county. Kittredge
certainly used his federal a%ppointees
to advantage in the Lake county cam
paign. Dearly must the bolter sena-
tor-elect pay the big boss. His every
action in the legislature will be at
the command of the boss. The many
platform principles that the republi-
cans of Lake county stand for will be
nullified if the opportunity offers
and the county is listed to suffer in
its political interests in the eyes of the
republican state administration. The
voting citizens Of Lake county made
a poor bargain when they submitted
to the wiies of the hittredge mach
inc and its federal appointees in the
late election contest.

Politics in the DakOtas.

Minneapolis Journal.-It will be a
novel experience for the people Of
North Dakota to have a democratic
governor, and it may cause the re-
mark that, while South Dakota goes
republican by $4,000, North Dakota
goes democratic by 5000 on the head
of the ticket. The results. however,
are not so very different when they
are once analysed. The South Dakota
republicans rebuked their machine in
the convention; the. North Dakota
republicans did it at the polls. The
South Dakota republicans had so sat
isfactorily settled their quarrel and
disposed of their factional fight in
the convention that they were able to
get together and produce a rousing
majority.
There was a strong i%nsurgent move
ment in North Dakota but the old
time bosses were too skillful and
adroit. They dictated nominations
which were distasteful to the insur-
gents and we're particularly incon-
siderate of the opposition in the selec-
tion of a candidate for the supreme
bench. The mistake seems to have
been fatal. 1t intensified the spirit
of revolt to such an extent that it has
resulted not merely in the defeat of
Objectionable candidate for the sup
RENE bench, but it has carried down
the nominee for governor with it.
But for this inexcusable bit of arrog-
ance in machine rule which under
took to foist upon the people of the
state for the high and honorable Of
flee of supreme judge a candidate con-
spiciuously untitled for the place, the
result would probably have been diff
ferent and Governor Searles would
have succeeded himself.
The men who frame up politics for
| North Dakota in st. Paul hotels have
met an experience this time which
may be exceeding dangerous to their
political future. Nobody believes
there are enough democrats in North
Dakota to elect a governor. The
thing has been brought about only by
a revolt within the republican party
which ought not to have been neces.
sary in order to teach the party hos
SEES the lesson they must learn from
this result if they are to have a part
in the political future of the state.

Opportunity.

The statement that no generaliza-
tiOn was ever more than half true is
an instance of its W meaning. 1t
is seldom that there are not two ways
of looking at a text and expOunding
from it helpful but Numerically OPP
posed philosophy. The sonnet COP
portunity," by the late Senator John
J. Ingalls,, is one of the finest and
most-quoted bits of occasional Amer
lean verse. A copy of it, mounted
under glass, is, If we are not mis-
taken, one of the few things on the
walls of the Presidents office in
the poem is an exhortation to action,
from another it is heavy with pesSim-
ism. Lest any have forgotten it,
Master Of human destinies am I!
Fame. love and fortune on my footsteps wait.
Cities and fields 1 walk; Ipenetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing by
Howell and mart and palace-soon or late
| knock unbidden once at every gate.
If sleeping. wake-if feasting. rise before

And they. who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire. and conquer every foe
Save death: but those who doubt or hesitate.
Condemned to failure. penury and woe.
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore;
l answer not, and I return no more.
There is truth from one side.
At a recent convention in Louis
vile, KY, Col. r. j. Lowry, a banker
of Atlanta, Ga, closed an address in
these words: II want to say for our
people that we are optimists by ma
ture: we turn to the bright side of
even the sorest trials: we see books
in the brooks, sermons in stones, and
good in everything My old friend,
the late John j.. ingalls,, of Kansas,
said to be something of a pessimist,
wrote a poem on Opportunity,
which / am disposed to read to you,
and then / want to read a reply to it
by a southern jurist-poet. Judge
Walter Malone, of Memphis" This
is the reply, truth from the other
side, open to no charge of pessimism,
and while of less poetic value than
Ingalls, lines, yet are worth associa-
tion with them
They do me wrong who say I come no more.
When once I knock and fail to find you in:
For every day L stand outside your door.

A Fearless Judge.

Orange Leader: In the person Of
Judge Miller, Lake Charles and Cal
casieu parish and, in fact the whole
state of Louisiana has a man of
whom they should feel proud and
whom they should retain on the bench
as long as he will continue to serve,
One of the very first iurists in the
south to insist on pistol toters paying
the full penalty of the law. he has
consistently clung to thai position
and no man brought before him and
convicted Of carrying concealed
weapon could ever hope to escape a
lighter sentence than fine of one
hundred dollars, the limit allowed by
law. Through his rigid adherence TO
this line of action he has succeeded In
largely reducing this class of crime
within his jurisdiction.
The people of Calcasieu parish not
only admire Judge Miller for the firm
stand he has taken regarding the
pistol toter," but also because of
the absolute justice of his judgments,
and also because Judge Miller is a
gentleman in the fullest sense OF the
word as well as an eminent jurist.
One who has served out more than
one sentence pronounced by him, said:

VERMONT SICK OF HIGH LICENSE.

NEhMON SlSh VI
Vermont after enjoying the blessing
of Prohibition for so many years, in
ali evil hour went back to a license
system, to high license one to be
sure, but she brought upon herself
damages from which she had been
comparatively free. When the license
law was passed in 1903 ninety.two
towns adopted it. Fifty-two OF these
returned to prohibition at the end of
one year, fourteen more voted down
rum the next year, and at the election
held recently only twenty-nine towns
went wet. Only one county in the
State gave majority for license and
the vote of the State indicated ma
jority of 1897 in favor of Prohibition.
In the temperance revival which is af-
fecting the whole country, Vermont
mill naturally swing back into the
Prohibition column where she belongs

PARISH SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Enacts Important Ruling Compensate
ing Incorporated Towns For Az
tendance Of Pupils Who Live
Outside The Corporate
Limits.

The Parish School Board met In
regular session Thursday, October III
1906, in the Office of Supt. Jno. NC
Neese, and transacted a considerable
amount of business. The following
resolution relating to compensatlng
Incorporated towns for pupils atten-
ding from without the district is OF de-
cided interest to the people OF Welsh,
since we have had from thirty-hve to
fourty outside pupils in attendance
for the past two or three years.
Be il Resolved: that the Parish
Board of Directors shall authorize
the payment to the Lake Charles
School Board and to all Incorporated
towns taxed for the maintenance OF
their schools, the sum of $40 per month
of the school session for every forty
children who reside in the parish with
out the city limits, and are enrolled
in the town schools. For any number
more or less than forty, the Parish
shall pay at the rate of Sl.I5 per
month for each child.
The following enactment recognize
ing the superiority of the interested
| teacher over the one who merely
teaches to fill time and her purse, is a
step in the right direction and should
receive the hearty communication OF
every school patron of the parish.
Whereas, realizing that teacher
interested in self improvement is OF
more value to the parish than one
who has reached perfection and for
whom growth has ceased, and in or
der to establish a method of advance
ment that will give credit to the de-
serving and extend only to those
who stay in the profession, Be 1t Re-
solved that all teachers who present
an unbrOken record of attendance up
on the monthly Teachers Association
Meetings in their district, and who
t receive a certificate of credit at
? Summer Normal School of the State
next summer shall be given al in
t crease of SIS. 90 per month on their sal
} aries for the next school year.

A Letter of Inquiry From A Would BE
Purchaser.

We received a letter from one OF
our Iowa subscribers this week stat
ing that he wanted to buy heating
stove, and asking if Welsh merchants
had good enough assortment to pay
him to come here to buy it. And al
though this is the time of the year
when stoves are in demand, vet after
we had looked through the advertis-
ing columns of the Journal, We failed
to discover anything to indicate that
a stove of any sort could be bought
in the city of Welsh.

AN ISLAND ENTIRELY DRY.

There is a little island on the con-

miles from Norway, 800 miles from
the north of Scotland, and $50 miles
from Greenland and belongs to Den.
mark. Its name is Iceland. 1t is a
barren land, much of it snow-capped
mountains and burning volcanoes. 1t
has no trees. There is enough grass
on the ground not too hardened with |.
the lava crust to keep the few hOrnleSS
oxen and little ponies that do their
work. The summer is too short for
corn or wheat to grow. They raise
potatoes and a few vegetables. They
catch the finest fish, and some seals,
and shoot swan and duck. They live
in novels made of turf and lava blocks
and are very poor But they are of a
splendid race. They are Scandinavia
ans, they speak the Norwegian Ian
guage. They have brave and he
roic history. Their.fatherS discovered
America 500 years before Columbus
stumbled upon the West Indies. They
have to import their bread, they used
to import their liquor. But it played
such havoc with their people. that
thew have banished it entirely. They
have ia law forbidding the manufac-
ture of intoxicating liquor at home,
and though having free trade they do
not allow barrel or bottle of liquor
to enter the island. What is the re-
suit? There is no Jail, no criminal
court, and only one policeman. There
is not a person on the island over
ten years of age who cannot read and
write. There are public schools, SEM
inaries, colleges, newspapers, books,
classic literature, churches and a

WHAT THE ABOLITION OF THE SALOON
DID FOR FARGO.

DlD tOh Il ANU
At public meeting the late Mayor
of Fargo made the following address
which is singularly eloquent in its
facts: g.
"Mr. Mayor, Ladies andiGentlemen:
I have been invited to come and say
to you, if understand the subject,
what we arc accomplishing in Fargo,
without in any way receiving aid, in
revenue for the liquor traffic
Fargo has prospered without a sa
loon far better than it ever did withit.
Instead OF being depopulated. it has
more than doubled in population since
the saloons left us. Rents have not
gone down, but have gone up, If there
is any difference. There is not today
in Fargo, nor has there been vacant
house fit for mouse to live in, or a
vacant store since the saloons left.
In the past four years more than one
million dollars has been invested in
new buildings in Fargo.
When the saloons we're with us. We
did not have single yard of paving
in the city; we had no sewer system,
aud did not own our water works. To-
day we have more than fifteen miles Of
streets, with sewer under every YARD
of paving, and miles of sewers where
the paving does not extend. We owr
our water works and they are more
than self.sustaining. We have done
all that, and at the same time our tax
es are lower than in great man!
cities where they have the saloon"
1t is the same story everywhere
where the experiment is honestly ant
bravely undertaken, and yet despit
the facts there are so many stuDit
Christians who do not realize them
so many lazy ones who do not car
for the trouble of fight against rum
and so many who are afraid to con
tend against so strong and savage
foe.
