BOYCOTING METHOD.

II has been given out that a sa-
loonist and some Of his friends be-
cause the cashier Of one Of our
banks is conspicuously interested
in arranging for campaign
against the saloons have with
drawn a large amount Of their
money and put IL in another bank.
Such a disposition on the part Of
any opposition is void of whole
some results to the party con-
nected with such boycoting meth
DDS and serves to their hurt. In
this country boycoting methods
and anarchistic methods will not
be tolerated and men who believe
in freedom Of speech and action
according to the dictate Of con
science will not be slow in re-
buking offenders. Such conduct
has not and we trust will never be
come Americanized.
We shall discuss the gu. stion.
OF saloon and anti-saloon from ev-
cry standpoint known to us. We
shall appeal to the reason. Of man
by process Of logical reason
ing and when ever we run upon a
class who would delight in sweet
boycoting revenge we shall lay
bare their methods that the PEG
pie may act wisely and promptly
in voting out the saloon, thereby
removing this snare OF their tenn

TEN MILES OF CHAMPAGNE
Immense Caves Of Rheims, Where
Vast Quantities of the Wine
Are Stored.

Rheims is perhaps best known
to us because Of that most beau
tiful relic Of Gothic architecture
embodied in its cathedral. The
towns association with the ca
reer of Joan of Arc is another link
between us and it. Some may
even remember the tale of its ia
nous jackdaw. But there are few
who know Rheims as the center of
the champagne trade and. the
home of the most famous cham
payne firms in the world.
If you look in the city directory
you will find no less than 80 es-
Establishments for making cham
payne. And theseare not the only
inhabitants who are connected
with the industry, for besides 20
firms which are employed in max
ing the corks used. there are al
most as many more who are en-
gagged in the machinery necessary
for the industry.
A visit to the immense caves
where the wine is stored is worth
while. Some of them extend for
miles under the city, and many
parts are completely honey
combed with them. In order to
vary the temperature they are
often three stories deep under the
street level, and one may descend
to them by a fine fight of steps.
