TURNER'S FAVOR
The CANTEEN
North American Bund At
It's Sessions In Newark
Score the Prohibitory Law
PITY FOR The yETEARNs
REMOVAL OF DRINKING PLACES
FROM THEIR HOMES coNsID-
Erred A GREAT DEPRIVATION.

The twenty-second biennial convention
of the North American Turner Bund,
which is in session at the hall of the
Newark Turnverein. on William street,
Newark, settled down to active business
with more than 200 delegates on hand.
representing nearly every State in the
Union. Emil Hoechster, of Chicago.
who was elected president of the organi-
zation, presided
The first business transacted after the
usual routine was the unanimous adop-
ton of a resolution protesting against
the prohibition of the canteen in homes
for disabled soldiers. This was present-
ed by Adam Sehonung, of New York. In
offering the resolution Mr.. Schonung
said that he did not believe that such
prohibition was constitutional and that
it affected liberty. The speaker was
cheered at the conclusion Of his remarks
The resolution states that the conyen-
ton approves of the action of the eXecu-
tive committee in protesting against the
removal Of canteens and expresses sor-
row that Congress did not heed the pro-
tests against the prohibition of the drink
ing places. Continuing, the resolution
reads:
I'VE consider the measure an act of
useless cruelty and tyranny against the
veterans who risked life and limbs for
the preservation of the Union, and are
beyond the age of education. We are of
the opinion that the act of Congress is
not due to any motives Of conscience and
morality, but partly to blind and undea-
sonable faith in worthless and dangerous
dogmas and theories controlling sound
reason and every sense of justice, and
partly to political senwaraiee aEerpa
ing individual conviction and sound judg-
ment'
While considering temperance and
moderation in the use of alsohol and all
things as morally and physically neces-
sary for the enjoyment of life and health
that resolutions state that:
I'VE consider the theory that virtue
and morality can be created by law, as
dangerous and fallacious, and are oppos-
ed to the vexatious and tyrannous leg 8
lation that is constantly forced upon the
people of this country by arrogant and
overbearing zealots.s
1t was time for free and liberal mind
ed citizens without regard to difference of
nationality to unite in defense of indi-
vidual liberty, the resolution concludes.
The action of the executive board of
the organization in endorsing the senti-
ment that public schools only should be
supported by the money of the taxpayers
I and that the public school funds should
never be diverted for any other purpose,
was approved in another resolution.

Fagan orators get as far from the
truth in their arguments as they possibly
can. They don't care a fig for facts.
What they want is something that will
set people talking, and the less truth in
it the better they seem TO like it. One
thing they have thus far overlooked and
that is to charge that Col. Dickinson and
the Republican organization is response
BILE for the high price of ice. There
would be as much truth in the charge
as # Col. Dickinson were to say that
Mayor Pagan or George L. Record We're

There was some justification for the
action of the Twelfth Ward Democratic
Club in condemning the appointment Of
a Republican as inspector of the job of
painting the Thirteenth street yiaduct.
The Board of Street and Water Comrnis-
sioners should have given the job to a
Democrat. and surely enough there are
lots of loyal party men who would have
been glad to get it. 1t was a stupid bit
of politics and whoever is responsible for
it deserves censure. Because the Fagan-
ties are laundering is no reason why the
Democrats should do the same

INTERESTING STATE NEWS TOLD

Beattyville. Ky, Aug. 9.--The CON-
monwealth sprung a surprise on the
defense this morning tending to show
the methods used In getting a jury. II
was testified TO by John w. Fender.
CAST, prominent citizen. that William
johnson. a qualified juror. hal ex-
pressed the opinion that the trial of
French, Abner and Smith would result
in an acquittal. This opinion was ex-
pressed after johnson had been sum
moned. The juror. greatly excited dur
ing the testimony of Pendergast and
jumping to his feet and shaking his
fist at the witness, said his statement
was not true. The Juror was quieted by
the court and sheriff.
The commonwealth attempted TO dis
qualify several of the jurors by show
ing their relation to Jim Hargls and
Curt Jett, but the representatives OF
the commonwealth we're given very
little latitude by the court as all OBJ
jections by defense were sustained by
the court.

KENTUCKY CROPS
THERE WAS NEVER A BETTER
CORN PROSPECT.
July Was Generally Scasonable
With Excess of Rain In Some
Localities.

Frankfort, Ky. August o. The
monthly report of the state agrlcul-
tural department. showing the condi
ton of the growing crops, was is
sued today by Commissioner vree-
land The report says there was new
or better prospect for full crop of
corn. but that the prospect for a crop
of tobacco, both Burley and dark, Is
below the average, due to too much
rain and insufficient work at the
proper time. The report is as fol-
lows:
The month of July was generally
seasonable. with an excess of rain in
some localities. There was never a
better prospect for a full crop of
corn at this season of the year than
now. The acreage is a full average
and condition all that could be ex-
pected. The wheat crop is about all
threshed, and generally in good con-
dition. The yield is about up to an
average and the quality good.
The oat crop was short and yield
only three-fourths of an average.
The prospect for a crop of Burnley
tobacco is below the average. and
its condition is not up to the stand
ard on account OF too much rain and
insufficient work at the proper time.
The prospect for dark is quite below
the average and condition So. The
dark crop is reported later than us
ual and irregular in growth. Mead
ows, pastures and clover are report
ed In fair condition and free from
disease. Hogs are scarce in many To-
calities.
The apple crop is a light one. and
there is considerable complaint Of
falling of before they mature.
Gardens are reported good.

Eject OF the Gunnison Tunnel Pro-
icct ON the uncompnhgre Valley
In Western Colorado.

This project has for It's object the
reclamation OF about 10000 acres
OF land In the Uncompahgre Valley

which trayerses the tract 10 be re-
claimed, IS already utilized for ir-
rigation, and In order TO water
this immense area. the construction
OF tunnel six miles long to divert
the unused waters of the Gunnsoh
river was conceived. Work on this
tunnel has now been IN progress for
more than year and in eighteen
months 1t is believed that the work
will be completed.
Considerable of the land under
this irrigation scheme is in private
ownership but there are $4,000 acres
government land, subject TO home

The principal crops that can be
successfully raised are alfalfa, grain
OF all kinds and great variety Of
fruits and vegetables. When the wa
ter supply Is sufficient AMI the
ground properly TILED. these pro-
duets. particularly the fruits. are OF
the highest grade and the yield
abundant and certain. Well watered
