; have commencement exercises up
there every four or five weeks and
good men go out to pick up the
threads that were lost. Keely, how
ever, will keep on sending its bus to
the trains, even if every one of these
one hundred and odd counties should
vote out the liquor demon. So long
as liquor is made the people Of North
Carolina will drink it regardless of
the laws and the efforts to suppress
it's sale. But some bat-eared teachers
up here think that prohibition pro-
hibits and acts like the gold cure.
Like the court house lawyer I have
saved the evidence that this dispen-
sary has reduced crime for the last.
Up here there are newspaper edi-
tors who tell their readers from day
to day that Raleigh is infested with
hell holes, whatever they are, but this
is strictly and absolutely moral
community. There can be no doubt
about that. To some it is painfully
evident. Chief Of Police Mullins fur
nished list of arrests directly at
tributable to liquor drinking and it
shows that there was less activity in
police circles during 1905 than in
1908, when the saloons were running.
For instance, in 1908, the last bar
room year, there 633 arrests for
and disorderly conduct,
while in 1905, under the dispensary
regime there were 5SS. This is all the
testimony, it would seem, that the ad-
vocates Of that system require to
shout. While the record for the II
is in favor of the official IL
quor shop, there were more arrests in
September, October, November and
December Of 1905 than for the cor
period Of 1908, the figures
being, 1908, l59; 1905, 262. The
state fair is held in October, and last
fall the arrests for drunkenness were
double the number for October, 1908.
Still, the figures for the year as a
whole apparently indicate that good
many have reformed.
Again; in January and February,
1904, the first year Of the dispensary,
there were 81 arrests; in 1905, the
second year, there were 81 in those
;wo months, and in January and Feb
,uary Of the present year there were

A Puzzle About Chasers.
But it must be remembered that the
lispensary is merely liquor saloon
nder another name. The question,
therefore,, is how the God-fearing can
AXE it without a chaser. 1t is
mighty poor compromise for prohi-
'ition, but then at heart they doubt
ess admit that prohibition is joke.

In response to many letters ad-
dressed to him as to the eligibility Of
certain parties for the positions Of
sponsors and maids of honor, the gen
eral commanding again publishes, for
the information of all concerned, the
action taken at the convention held
in New Orleans in 1903, which is as
follows:
"Resolved, That no person shall be
nor admitted by this organi-
zation, to the position of sponsor or
maid Of honor from any organization
unless she be he wife or lineal de.
scendant Of Confederate soldier or
sailor who was honorab1y released
from the service, or member in good
Of some regularly organized
chapter Of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy."
He is in thorough sympathy with
his resolution; and as the time is at
land when appointments of sponsors
and maids Of honor are made, he de-
;ires that all officers having the Sc
ection Of these ladies be guided by
his action Of the convention.

If there ever was a doubt of Sen
ator Knute Nelson succeeding himself
in the United States senate the result
of the primary election has dispelled
that doubt. Out of It's republican
candidates who we're successful at the
primaries 165 have been nominated
who are in favor of Senator Nelson's
reelection, and it is safe to assume
that $50 of those 165 will be successful
at the polls. The plotting and
scheming of the little gang of mer-
cenaries to defeat the twice expressed
wish of the republican party of the
state has come to naught, and the
gallant little Norwegian will have
virtually no opposition.

mass OF obeseness and hypocrisy in

President Leslie have introduced Mr..
Cole directly to the members of the

shoulders of a man so thoroughly dis
credited by the republicans Of the
state as Samuel r. Van SAINT.

Mr.. A. Wilkes of Milaca is out with
a petition for signatures to enable
him to file as an independent candi-
date for the legislature from this dis
trict. Mr.. Wilkes is up against a
hard proposition. In the first place
he must secure the names of 500 voters
of the district who have not voted at
the primary election, and each of
those voters must make affidavit that
he knows what he is signing. In the
second place Mr.. Wilkes could not
center his fight on one candidate.
Whatever strength he mi ght develop
would be drawn from three candidates
and his chances of winning would be
one in three. In the third place each
of the three candidates we're fairly
nominated and large majority of the
of Mile Laos county &C.

Annexed hereto is the official vote
of the 18th legislative district for re-
publican candidates at the recent pri-
mary election. Mr.. C. J. Swanson
majority over Mr.. John Goss for SEN
ator was 1853, of which Isanti county
alone contributed 663. Mile Laos
gave Mr.. Goss a majority of 178 on a
light vote-had the usual vote been
polled his majority would have been
close to 500. Mr.. Swanson also had
majorities in Anoka and Sherburne.
For the house Mr.. Davis of Elk River
led-he had a total of 2,714 votes.
Mr.. White, also Of Elk River, came
next with 2,44S votes. Mr.. Horton of
Isanti polled So votes more than Mr..
Mark Of Mile Laos, hence the winners
are Davis, White and Horton.

A movement has been started in
Chicago which is calculated to
ultimately result in the establishment
of an adequate system for protecting
Chicago's army of school children
from tuberculosis. Among other
things dispensaries will be provided
in the schools where consumptive
pupils may be treated; children
suffering from tuberculosis in con-
tagious form will be separated from
those who have the disease in nom
contagious form, and a regular system
of medical inspection will be in
stituted. No reason seems to prevail
why such method should not result
advantageously in at least checking
the spread Of the malady.

From the fact that Governor John S
opening campaign address consisted
solely of an extended form of the po-
litical speech delivered by him upon a
score of previous occasions, the
harangue was particularly monoto-
nous and firing. But it was not the
fault of Governor John that this much
reiterated and much rehearsed address
was redelivered at Red Wing. Many
time had he clamored to the O'Day
who writes his epistles-for some
thing new, but that gentleman insisted
that the stereotyped form was good
enough. The O'Connor acquiesced
and Governor John was consequently
sent forth to do the bidding of his
superior officers.

When Mr.. Leavitt tried to drag
politics out of the state board of con-
troll Rosing insisted that he was
dragging politics into it. Rosing's
notion of dragging in politics is not
exclusively enjoyed by him. His
fellows who form the normal school
board also share it. They grant
leave of absence for three months to
Mr.. Magnusson, of the St. Cloud nor
NAL staff, in order that he may take
the democratic nomination for secre-
tary of state and make a canvass OF
the state, hardly expecting to win,
but to help the governor to win. The
leave of absence was, we are told,
thinly disguised under a leave Of alb
sence.-St. Paul Dispatch.

man, is one of Gov. Johnson's ap-

board system the wishes of the resi-

the board readily deferred to him.
The old board system obtains as far
as the normal schools are concerned,
and Eastman is simply cog in one
of Gov. Johnson's wheels. Naturally
enough Eastman approves of and de-
tends Rosing's attempt to convert the
board of control into political
machine,
