The Mitchell Capital.
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1907.

The Howard Spirit is making some
inquiries Of State Treasurer Cassill as
60 what has become of the interest
% the state funds which are In his
oontrol. The Spirit does not seem to
mud any accounting Of the same in
the recent report of the treasurer.
Perhaps the Spirit is altogether too
lnQuisitiye and the reform admin
istration should be taken without
question as to Its honesty and good
lntentions.

A "stork race'' is a new feature in
the work OF the club women in
Michigan where honors have been
offered for the best showing of stork
visits. The Michigan women hold
that stork visitations are a part of
the club work and they are eviden sly
going to follow the advice of P1esi.
dent Roosevelt. DesMoines, Iowa,
women resent the statement that
stork visits are a part Of club work,
and while they do not discourage the
stork race within moderation they
believe that there is something else
to club work aside from raising a
large family.

The northwest has got the atten-
ton of Secretary Cortelyou Of the
treasury department, and be will
come to the rescue by depositlng
sufficient money to handle the gain
crop of this country. There is no
reason why the secretary should not
do this when he will respond to the
urgent demands of the brokers in
Wall street to loosen up on the
country's cash box. 1t Is about time
that the northwest was getting it's
share OF recognition as the great
market center of the United States.

A new factor entered the election
In the middle states Tuesday when
the Antt-Saloon league made quite
a large display OF strength, partic-
ularly In Illinois. In that state the
first test OF the local option law was
made and twelve counties went pro-
hibition, while In many former
license stronRholds prohibition was
victorious. AS a result OF the
election 1t. Is maintained that $50
saloons In the state were forced out
OF business, and in the large city Of
Jacksonville 80 saloons will be forced
to close. One of the surprising
results Of prohibition is In the
mining districts of Illinois, in the
southern part, the towns without
exception went dry. Without very
much display the Anti Saloon League
has been growing throughout, the
country until today 1t has become a
factor that must be reckoned with
In the future, at least Judging from
its success In the elections this fall.

Let Something Good Be Said

Lei something Good Be Said
When DER the fair fame of friend or

The shadow of disgrace shall fall

May fall so low but love may lift

Matilda's Choice

when quite a girl old Mrs. McCar-
thy's daughter took an opportunity and
emigrated to Australia. Years passed
by, but although in her letters Ma
tflda never referred to the probability
Of her return to the land which gave
her birth, still the old lady cherished
the idea that she would some day
come back.
This belief received a somewhat rude
shock, therefore, when some weeks
ago Matilda announced in her letter
that she was about to be married to a
native of her adopted country. II was
a great disappointment for in Mrs. Nc
Carthy's opinion the only men worthy
of serious consideration were Irish.

cages.

The Best Life Partners.

Men seldom ask the girls with whom
they laugh and handy jokes to share
their homes. They enjoy being amused
for an hour by the girl who is witty
and clever, who is sparkling and gag,
and they will heap admiration to the
full measure upon the girl who is
beautiful. Yet how seldom do they
think about making sucn women their
wives Men are, as n rule, far cutter
than folks imagine when It comes to
the point of marriage True, 50 many
sacrifice everything for the sake Of a
pretty face, but the majority are wis
er in their generation. They see the
mistakes OF others and take warning
Beauty fades. wit and cleyerness pail
If they are backed up with no more
solid virtues, and the happiness and
comfort of a home cannot depend up
on the power of being amused. When
a man marries he wants a helpmeet,
not a beauty upon whom he must be
forever dancing attendance, not a bril-.
liantly clever woman, at whose feet
he must forever be sitting in admira-
tfon, but a woman full Of love and
sympathy a partner who can bring
into the partnership what he himself
lacks, one who will help him, and for
whom he will never tire of working
and serving devotedly.
