Editorial

THE OCTOBER PUBLIC VEAL.
It will be vote-maker. We intend
that it shall contain, among other
things:
Portraits and biographical sketches
of our state candidates.
Portraits of our forty legislative can
didates.
The state platform.
Mr.. Dorsetts letter of acceptance,
and a lot more of just the kind OF mat
ter which you want your neighbors to
see.
1t MAY contain six or eight pages.
That depends on the number and
promptness of the orders which you
send US.
The price, postpaid and either in
bulk or addressed direct to individuals,
will be ONLY ONE CENT A COPY.
You needn't send US the money now
unless you want to. But we would like
to know RIGHT AWAY how many
copies you will pay for. Let every
Prohibition voter and candidate, every
committee and club, every w. c. T. U
and other organization which is in the
fight write US quickly.

AN APPEAL TO-WHAT?

Somebody kindly sends us The APP
peal to Reason" probably the most
widely known champion of the Social
list party in the land. Being strongly
socialistic, we naturally like quite a
proportion of it's contents pretty well.
But as we aim to have some regard for
for the truth, many of the Appeals
utterances read to us like appeals to
blind class prejudice rather than to
reason. For instance:
Whenever you hear of some man max
ing money you may be sure that some.
where there is some man losing money"
Speaking of the rich of today, this:
Chastity is the exception.

DO THEY MEAN 1T?

Gov. Hanly of Indiana, before the
Chatauqua assembly at Aurora, ILL.,,
came out strongly against the liquor
traffic and appealed to the people to
abolish the saloons. He declared that
when the Republican party shall cease
to serve the people it ought to die
and he will certainly leave it. Such
utterances as this would indicate an
early avalanche of votes to the Prohi-
bition party, had not other men in
large numbers made similar threats
for 10! these many years, who yet re-
tain their allegiance to the old parties
despite their advocacy of the liquor
policy. Nevertheless the end OF such
unfulfilled pledges and threats draws
nigh.

OMITTED THE BIG ISSUE.

We respectfully submit to the
friends of good government in the
Democratic party in the state of Min
nesota, especially those who appreci-
ate the relation of the saloon to every
enormity, how much support they owe
to party which, in it's recent state
convention, dragged it's platform de-
clarations through twenty-four planks
and yet spoke not one word for
the people in their fight with the
damnable saloon.

HE PROsPERS NEVERTHELESS.

Chas. E. Carlisle, formerly of Min
neapolis and now a Brookings, S. D.,
grocer, showed his smiling face at
our office during the state fair. Mr..
Carlisle is one of a very few grocers
whom we have known who dare to
attempt to do business in that line
without including cigars or tobacco in
their stock He says his decision
hasn't hurt his pocket and claims to
be running the best grocery in town
If Charlie" says it's so, it's so if it
isn't So
The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1906-09-15
THAT POINT MADE CLEARER.

We stated in our last issue that not
a dollar had ever been appropriated
or paid by the State Committee from
the State Fund toward the expense OF
publishing either Backbone or The
public Veal, with single unmportant
exception. We added that because
the State Fund needs every dollar 1t
can get, The Public Veal was hoeing
it's own row.
This does NOT mean that the State
Committee is not "back of" our state
paper. The Public Veal is the prop
erty of the Prohibitionists Of the state,
as represented by the State Commit
tee, and the Committee is both legally
and morally obligated to pay its bills:
Neither did our statement mean that
the editor and manager of The Public
Veal could make or lose through it's
success or failure. He is simply the
State Committees SHRED man" to edit
and manage the paper for the Prohibi-
tionists of the state.

HOT AIR..

The Republican state platform winds
up with declaration, that 1--WE are in
favor of all just measures tending to
the advancement of the cause of tenn
perance, morality and good govern
ment." AS the liquor traffic unvary-
ingly promotes intemperance, immor-
atty and bad government and as the
Republican party stands constantly
for the perpetuation Of the saloon,
every line of the above declaration is
shown to be absolutely worthless. In
view of this fact the question how
many it's other declarations are worth

WHO SLEW ALL THESE?

Many were Mortified when Robt.
Gordon, 16 year old Chicago boy,
confessed this month that he had
struck, and stunned James Reed, an
eight year old companion, with a brick
and then buried him alive underneath
the sidewalk in front of his fathers
home. A smaller number, we fear,
asked themselves the question, What
relation does my ballot sustain to such
outrages?" A significant fact in con-
nection with this affair is that five
other boys, ranging in age from fiji
teen to twenty years, who had been
drinking with Gordon at the rear OF
the Reed home before the murder be-
came known, were afterwards arrest
ed.

is 1T A BUSINESS?

How many of our readers noticed, in
reading of the injury and death of
Peter Blar who was run over and
killed by Frank A Jerome in his auto
mobile, that all the dailies referred
to the offender, who was arrested for
manslaughter in the first degree, as
a saloon-keeper, and did so again and
again? If he had been a dry-goods
merchant or druggist or hotel-keeper
or had run peanut stand, his bust
ness, ten to one, would not have been
named The saloon-keeper and his
business are today differentiated in
the peoples mind and in the public
press from every other business and
business man.

may we'll be commended to the con
sideration of thoughtful citizens.
AN EXPENSIVE NASTINESS.

Tobacco ranks first in the list OF ar
ticles of general use. 1t is estimated
that 100000 900 people use it. In the
United States the annual expenditure
for tobacco is over $7OO,OO0,OOO, 81
100000, more than is spent for bread,
and seven times as much as is spent
for public instruction. In this country
as much is spent for tobacco every ten
days as the whole world spends an
Ellally for missions.

1T is COMING.

Mayor Dunno of Chicago made an
able address in defence of municipal
ownership at the Auditorium, Mime
apolis, recently. He gave six reasons
why that policy should obtain: Where
it has been tried the cost of the utility
has been reduced. The efficiency Of
the service has been increased. The
wages of the employees have been in
creased. The hours of labor have
been decreased. Strikes and labor
difficulties have been totally done
away with. Graft, corruption and
Doodle have received a severe blow.

HEELS HALF A YARD HIGH.
Root of the Idea to Which Women
Owe Many Foot Defor-
mites.

Heels, it is said, owe their origin
to Persia, where they were introduced
upon sandals. in the shape of blocks
of wood fixed underneath, such being
the root idea of those deformities TO
which woman owes so many of her
woes, In Persia, the first home of
the heel, however, these blocks of
wood were used simply to raise the
feet from the burning sands of that
country, and were about two inches
high.
With the Persian women these
blocks were vastly higher than those
affected by the men, their height be-
ing from IS inches to 2 feet, thus be-
coming more of the nature of stills
than anything else. Strangely
enough, many years after a similar
fashion came into vogue in Venice,
but the motive in this case was com
ically different. for by it's means jeal-
GUS husbands thought they would be
able to keep their wives at home.
The supports of such shoes in Venice
were called 'Chapineys," and to APP
pease the vanity of the ladies', and doubt
less also to sugar the pill, were made
highly ornate. The height of these
chapineys determined the rank of the
wearer, an extra coating for the pill,
the noblest danes being permitted to
wear them half yard or more high.

standing in front of a chair, without
overcoat, his coat buttoned up, and in

Some details of the figure may be

or his overcoat thrown over the back
of the chair, but the figure as adopted
will be substantially the one that will

The figure will be mounted on pedes-
