LORD STRBTHCONA.
A Hudson Ban Trader Who Has

BY Kenneth Bernard.

Thtrty-hve Years ago two strong men met In
conflict for control over the river traf1c through
the State Of Minnesota. one Of the men was a
small trader Of St Paul known 10 his friends as
jim Hill The other vas Donald Alexander

In all the history OF finance and railroad building
there is other friendship such as this that has
existed since that day between James J. Hir the
splendid Canadian who mas made own North
west. and Lord Strethcona. the splendid Scotch
man who made possible the Northwest ot the
Canadians
At the outset they two recognized as a cardinal
truth a principle that both have voiced many
times since then. When Mr.. Hill learned. a year
ago. that the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul

NOT A FAIR TEST.

Prohibition cannot be judged as to its
good effect in Georgia in less than
twelve months time, from the simple
fact, there will be vast quantities of
whisky, wine, etc, bought and stored
away by individuals who will continue
to drink it after the law goes into effect.
The number OF men who will be seer
drunk until their supply is exhausted
will not be fair test, but should be
placed to the 'discredit" OF the whisky
regime.
We believe the whisky men in the
large towns in Georgia will not only
quickly sell out what they have on
hand, but will have to order more to
supply the demand. When Christmas
holidays come, the bachanalian revelry
and drunkenness will be immense. The
drinkers will be bidding farewell to
John Rarleycorn as he takes his legal
and enforced departure from TIE con-
fines of the State.
That the law of prohibition will be
violated, no one doubts. The Ten
Commandments are violated the court
statutes are violated, and SO will the
prohibition law be violated by Goddess
men, but the Law will be kept as much
as any law we now have.

GOOD INDICATION.

The present is an era of almost.unex-
ampled prosperity. All who have valu-
able products to sell, whether of the
farm, the loom, the forge, the brain,
find ready market. As in all eras of
prosperity, prices are high. This is
pleasant to the seller, but not to the
buyer.-Nashville Christian Advocate.
The increasing deposits in savings
banks of the laboring people of the
North and South indicate that the
working people are sharing in the pros
perity of the country. More farmers in
the South and West have bank accounts
than ever in the history of the United
States. Many farmers are making de-
posits in the banks at Marietta, Ac-
worth and Powder Springs. ALI this is
encouraging, and croakers should be
given the cold shoulder, who, by their
lack of ability to succeed and master
conditions, try to discourage others.

That is true, Brother Neal. We were
called upon few days ago to publish
resolutions, adopted by citizens of our
town and county, lauding the Georgian
for the noble and heroic stand it had
taken for prohibition and expressing
deep sympathy for that paper on ac.
count of the financial loss it had sus-
tanned because it refused to accent
whiskey advertising. The present man
agement of The Advertiser has never
! accepted line of whiskey advertising.
and consequently has lost between two
and three hundred dollars worth of
business during the past year. But not
even prohibition mass meeting in our
own town appreciates the fact sufficl-
emily to mention The Advertiser when
they met to pass resolutions commend
ing the Georgian for the stand it has
recently taken.-Forsyth Advertiser.
Exactly. The Marietta Journal for
the past twenty-five years has refused
whiskey advertisements offered US from
Atlanta, Cincinnati, Chicago, Louis
vile, Chattanooga and North Carolina,
entailing loss of considerable money.
But it was matter of principle and
right with us. We couldn't consci.
entiously accept whiskey money for adj
vertising and thus aid in the sale of the
poison that has wrecked homes and
hearts, instigated murder and crime.
The Journal has advocated prohibition
for years and voted for it, and consider
whiskey the greatest curse of the age.
and we are glad it is to be banished
from the state by law.

ALL IN COLOR SCHEME.
Hats and Gowns Made Brilliant by Contrasting Shades.

Colors in everything once more. Hats are again brilliant in their eff. feet by reason of the color contrast of the flowers or plumes used to trim them. The same rule is observed on dressy indoor gowns. As an example in a gown of Chinese pink in Mar quisette, the skirt falling over a thin liberty satin to match. From the knee upwards this sheer silk is plisse, while upon the bottom. just long enough to lie with ease upon the ground, is double line trimming, in a half-inch piping of crab blue satin of that pale exquisite tone which so happily blends with the oriental pink. The same satin Is used for bias bre- telles and for a bias belt drapery. The lace of the bodice and sleeves Is dyed to match the pink skirt. the bod fee lining being of the Marquisette. while chiffon of the same plisse, soft ly fills up the V's front and back and shows also in an inner sleeve close fit- ting. Real lace armlets for these sleeves and a real lace neckband in cream white adds to the becoming ness.--Vogue.
