4 sWEET AND soBER SATURDAY.

Last Saturday was one of the most
remarkable days In ali the history OF
our neighboring city OF Madison
from which the saloons were voted
out by the recent election. The
Madison New Enterprise gives such
a graphic description of the day and
its startling. contrast with previous
Saturdays that we reproduce 1t as a
fine bit of work which deserves to
travel as an eloquent missionary in
behalf of sobriety and prohibition:
0The atmosphere of Madison {
last Saturday was remarkably clear
and sweet in comparison with what
had been the usual Saturday condi-
tons in the town from the time
whereof the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary. To properly ap-
preciate this one must understand
that last Saturday was the first under
the new regime of no saloons, and
the first in many, many years OF
'dryness'' in Madison. The crowd
was in town just the same as usual,
but wonderful to relate, it was a
strictly sober and therefore quiet
crowd. No loud and boisterous
laughter, no vile oaths reeking with
the fumes of liquor, no ribald, coarse
and vulgar language grated upon
the ears of the sensitive, but all
through the day our streets were
pleasant enough for the most refined
lady to walk them without fear OF
insult or shock to her sensibilities
And this, too, was the first Saturday
remember. But" says the eynic
how about trade? Bet you there
was no business in town." Wrong
brother. Ask the merchandise We
have done, and they will tell you
even as they told us-that trade wa!
fully up to the standard and better
than usual for many. Oh, you calam
ity howlers, crawl into your little
holes while you have the chance anC
don't wait until you are completed!
overwhelmed with the beneficen
blessings of prohibition"

following which puts the case ciear-
ly and sensibly and shows that thefe
is no need for all this hystericsi
.elamor in Democratic ranks about
the ruin Of the party by Bryan's rad
ealism. The Democrat has said Drac-
tically the same before. but the
Journal says it better:
$50 far as The Journal Is concern
ed, we have never expressed the
opinion that government ownership
at this time would be good thing
or that it would be desirable. We
have, however, more than once ex-
pressed the conviction that the grow
ing arrogance, insolenee, and con-
tempt for public rights which the
great railway corporations OF the
country frequently exhibit win ult-
mately result in government owner
ship, though that time is probably
very remote. That, we take 1t, Is
also Mr.. Bryan's position on the mat
ter, but it is a position which can
have no relation whatever to present
policies or to present political align
ments. We regret that the Register
has joined the rest of those papers
which have never been friendly TO
Mr.. Bryan, in magnifying the i'm
portance of his expression of person
al opinion on this question True,
it affords an excuse for opposition to
those who were looking for an ex-
cuse, but it is a mighty poor excuse
and one which the more thoughtful
papers are inclined to ridicule."

COUNTERFEIT TOOLS CAPTURED

Jacksonville, ILL.,, Sept. st. o.
Graves found today in a vacant house
on his farm a set of counterfeiting
tools. Two dollar dies of 1890 and
1901 were found and two dollar
pieces imperfectly nodded, a dozen
silver spoons and a quantity of bab-
bit metal. The plaster of paris dies
were of perfect mold, and had been

A VANISHING TYPE.

Bless the old-time printer, the
''Straight-matter man." who could do
rough job work on the side and who
flashed his rule" in one print shop
after another as he made his period
zeal circuit through the land and took
what luck fortune sent him with
undaunted cheerfulness and a rough
and-ready philosophy which never
deserted him! He's getting scarce;
the machines are crowding him out,
and 1t is but question of time when
the last of his tribe will be seen, a
pathetic figure-but game to the end
vanishing from sight under the re-
lentless law of evolution constantly
displaeing the old with the new and
taking no account of our personal
feelings and interests during the
ruthless process. He has been a
mighty factor in the worlds pro-
gress and civilization, and while, like
all the rest of US, he is a son Of
Adam and sinner, his shortcomings
have been qualified by a grand utility
which made itself felt for the better
ment of mankind wherever printed
matter reached. What a wealth of
legend and tradition and varied lore
and aneedote and genial reminiscen-
ces clusters about the old-time print
er! And If he was one of the we'll
travelled kind, who had stuck type
in many lands and ATTITUDES, what a
broad-minded philosopher he was;
haw charitable and tolerant, and how
genuine his contempt for the petty
provincial prejudices which would
measure the great round world by
the limitations of country villagel
Bless the dear old tourist" who
rarely pressed the plush in the
vanished cars, and before we see the
last OF him may some chronicler
arise, richly endowed of Heaven for
the work, to put into a book the
story of his tribe and the tremendous
blows he dealt for the good of man
and the cause of God before the
linotype, put him out of action. And
we have been moved to say this much
after reading the following little item
from the Quincy Times, which may
not have much meaning for those
outside 1.-The craft and its allied
trade, but is richly and touchingly
suggestive to some of the rest of US:
