For Cold Rooms Hard 10 Heat.

The coming Of the cold weather
gives rise to the question of how
best to heat those rooms and hall
ways Of the house that seldom if
ever warm up, no matter how big
a fire there may be in the furnace
or other heating apparatus.
The best way out of the difficulty
is the use Of auxiliary stoves-and
of these it would be difficult indeed
to find anything so handy and at the
same time so clean and economical
as the Perfection Oil Heater.
To begin with, it is. absolutely
safe. The wick can be turned up
as high or as low as possible with
out danger. But perhaps the most
desirable feature of all is its con-
venience. The Perfection Oil Heat
er can be easily carried to any part
Of the house where more heat is re-
quired. It may be a cold bedroom,
a chilly hallway, sick room. Or
you can use it to heat the bathroom
while you take your morning bath
then dress by it-and then carry
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-12-18

it to the dining room and eat your
breakfast in comfort. The occa-
sions on which it can be called into
use are numerous once you
have tried the Perfection Oil Heater
you'll wonder why you ever strug-
gled through cold winter without
one. Another advantage is the
smokeless burner, which prevents
ary of the unpleasantnesses that
perhaps have given you a poor idea
of oil heaters in general. 1t is very
handsome in appearance and is
beautifully finished in nickel and
japan.
Another home comfort for the
long winter evenings is the Rayo
Lamp, which can be used in any
room in the house-from parlor to
bedroom. It has the latest i'm
proved burner, making it unusually
safe and clean, and an ideal lamp
for all round household use.
The Perfection Oil Heater and
! Rayo Lamp, combining as they do
to make the house warm and cheer
full, are valuable additions to any
home, and no household should be
without them. They are sold at a
moderate price by dealers every
where.

ing, but it prevents the producing
of a new crop of drunkards to take
the place of the old ones as they
die. If they are willing to spend
six million dollars to fight prohibit
tion, it means that they expect to
lose more than that if prohibition
remains and keeps on growing in
strength. Adolphus Busch, the St.
Louis brewer, stated that the fact
that Oklahoma went .'dry' caused
him loss of one million dollars.
If one brewer can lose that much
by prohibition in one little state
like Oklahoma, how much would all
the brewers lose if all the states
went dry? Before these facts the
cry that prohibition does not pro-
hibit shows up as a stupendous
falsehood, and no sensible man be-
lieves it any longer.
We really pity man who must
take refuge under such DISCUSSES
while fighting for the cause Of
the whisky league; for if he has
the least trace Of manhood left he
must feel so thoroly ashamed of
himself that life will be burden
to him. There are men who hon.
estly believe that liquor is benefi-
cial if used moderately, and who
believe that prohibition interferes
with personal liberty; but such
men never resort to the threadbare
lie above referred to, and for that
reason we can respect them for
their honesty, tho we cannot agree
with them. But the sneaking
hypocrite who under the cloak of
pretended friendship for the cause
of temperance carries his dirty lit
tie jack-knife, ready to stab the
cause he pretends to befriend-that
creature gets nothing but con-
tempt both from temperance men
and the men he serves.
But perhaps the six million dol
lar campai gn fund will in some way
make up to these hypocrites for
their loss of the respect Of others
and of themselves.

mot single Southern state will
send a delegate to the next national
convention that cannot be controlled
on the floor Of the convention by
federal officeholders of their re-
spective states. They run all the
state conventions, name all the dele
gates to the national convention,
and can control those delegates with
perfect ease. The president knows
this. He has the power Of removal
of those who vote against what he
believes are policies that should be
carried on for a number of years.
Undoubtedly the oficeholders will
be wary at Chicago as to how their
delegates are permitted to vote.
Now that the president is out of
the race, the understanding is that
many of the Southern states will
come up with instructed delega-
tions for Taft. Uninstructed dele

the administration with great sus-

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1907.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

The republican national conven-
tion will meet in Chicago June 16,
to ratify the choice made by the
administration. If the delegates
are good they may possibly be given
the privilege of naming the tail of
the ticket. The democratic nation
al convention will meet in Denver
July 7, to ratify the choice Of Bry-
an, with probably the same second
airy privilege. With all due respect
to Roosevelt and Bryan, and with
the highest regard for what they
have done to stir up public opinion
on vital economic questions, it
seems to US there is a little too
much of one man power in both
parties at present. 1t is well
enough for these leaders to insist
that their policies should be carried
out; but if there is only one man in
each party fit to do this work, then
the future Of our country is in a
rather precarious condition. AS a
matter of fact, either party has
several men of presidential size, and
the only question is as to which
one would be the most popular in
the country as whole. One thing
is certain, no reactionary candid ate
on either side would stand any
show. The candidates must be full
ly abreast Of the rising movement
for regulating corporations. In
Taft's case, there is a pretty large
element of doubt as to whether or
not he really is the man for that
kind of work. In Bryan's case the
majority of those who would rather
see another candidate are his friends
and are ready and willing to vote
for him with pleasure; but they
feel that there are other men who
would be ready to carry out his
principles and vino would be more
easily elected.

CHRISTMAS TREE DANGERS.
Edward Peterson. State Fire Ma

Edward Peterson, State Fire Mar
shall, sends out public bulletin in
which he warns people of the dang
err of a Christmas tree where candles
are burned. Several fires were &C.
casioned in the state last Christmas
by the inhammable materials which
were fired from the candles. The
fire marshal has prepared the fol-
lowing "Don'ts,' which, it would
seem, almost do away with the tree
entirely, as we have been accus-
toned to know it. This is what he
says: IF candles must be used.
then don't put cotton on it; don't
put paper articles on it; don't put
candy wrapped in paper on it; don't
put celluloid articles on it; don't
put lace or popcorn strings on it;
don't put candles on weak branches,
because they may shift position in
losing weight from burning and set
the tree on fire; don't use any in
fammable articles under the tree
when candles are lit, as a spark
from a twig may set them on fire;
don't set the tree in a cotton-made
snowbank, it may put your house in
ashes and turn your JOY into mourn

The brewers Of the country held
an important conference the other
day. Adolphus Busch, the great
St. Louis brewer, is credited with
the following statement:
From now on ] am stripped for
action in a new fight. Heretofore
it has been a matter Of business, OF
dollars and cents, Of fierce COMPETE
ton. From now on l will strive to
the utmost Of my resources to elm
mate the evils that have grown like
weeds around the business.
Il cannot view with indifference
the opinions of my countrymen con-
corning an institution which is the
pride Of my life. Hereafter if the
eagle, which is the sign and mark
Of our house, shall be found in re-
sort which is not orderly and law
abiding, it must come down, and
will join in any process for the
elimination of such resort"
when the devil was sick, the
devil a monk would be-" When
Adolphus gets thru wedding out the
evils, there won't be enough left of
his institution to make appeal to
his pride.
Further the news dispatch goes
on to say:
1.-THE conference discussed al
length the question of raising a big
defense fund-some favored Sc, O0O,.

Minneapolis Tidende in a recent
editorial attacks the temperance
cause, and like most of the enemies
Of temperance or prohibition, it
hides it's real animus under the
cloak of the hypocrite. 1t pretend ;
to be a friend Of temperance and
sheds crocodile tears over the
FACT that the *'fanatical" prohi-
bitionists are injuring the cause by
their activity. Of course it drags
in the old, wornout tale of there be-
ing more liquor drunk under prohi-
bition than under the license sys-
tenn. Among other things, it drags
in the army canteen question, re-
peating the allegation that there is
more liquor drunk by the soldiers
in the saloons around the army posts
than there was when the soldiers
could get the stuff right at home.
To this the prohibitionists may re-
ply simply that the cause is not too
much prohibition, but lack of pro-
hibition-or there would be no sa-
looms for the soldiers to go to. Re-
moving the saloon from the army
quarters and permitting it to exist
outside at places easily accessible
does not solve the question, but it
does save the people from the hui
initiation of seeing the stars and
stripes waving over a saloon oper-
ated by the country's defenders.
If the prohibition does drive the
soldier out Of the army post to get
liquor it shows that prohibition
does prohibit where it is in force,
and the only thing necessary is tc
extend that prohibition far enough
to remove the temptation. Fur.
thermore, this howl about the sa.
loon and liquor being necessary fol-

Efforts which are being made
by a few of his steadfast friends
to have the sentence of Oliver
Curtiss Perry, confined in the

that for four years the daring
criminal who, in 1892, startled

has not eaten a particle of food
or worn stitch of outer clothing
except toga.
Since November ~, 1908, he

was determined to die rather than
eat the regular prison fare. Per

eating again and wearing cloth

he wants to go to some quiet

Settle Knotty Questions.

The much mooted question OF
when a husband can reasonably
be expected TO wash the dishes
for his wife has at last been set
tied by judicial decision. Judge
Howell of Newark, n. j., solved
the knotty problem when Mrs.
Harry l.. Luckoch charged her
husband with having struck her
during quarrel as to whose duty
it is to wash dishes. The Judge
also settled another disputed
problem. Here are the Judicial
pearls:
First. it is every husbands
simple duty to wash the dishes II
his household if need be. But
that duty is not cumulative; II
the wife carefully collects the
dishes used at their three daily
meals and demands that he wash
them. he is perfectly right to re-
fuse to do so.
Second. if the husband earns
@35 a week and gives $3f to his
wife each week, he should be free
from her suspicion that he IS
leading a double life.

Sixteen People Killed in Hungar-

Sixteen persons were killed
and many were seriously wound
ed in a riot early Monday at a
church festival at the town of
Rozsahegy, in south Hungary.
Racial jealousy between Slow
axis and Magyars was responsible
for the battle. Several minor
quarrels occurred between repre-
sentatives of the two parties dur
ing the evening. AT first the out
breaks were suppressed by the
cooler heads, but shortly after
midnight a fierce fight broke out
in which knives were drawn and
one man fell mortally wounded.
Before the peacemakers could in
terfere again the conflict was rag
ing everywhere. Most of the men
were armed and several of the
killed were literally cut to pieces.
Several women and children were
wounded and still others received
painful hurts. A strong force of
police cleared the church and
made many arrests. OF the
wounded a number will die.

A Spaniard named Bulguera,
a recent arrival from Manila, has
caused such excitement at Mad
rid by a story to the effect that
there are more than 1000 Span

island of San Juan del Monte.
They are held by Tagalogs, who
compel them to drag their plows.
They are whipped and treated
like beasts of burden. and the
only reward they get is scanty
ration of green corn.
Bulguera has related his story
to a correspondent of FL Pueblo
and he says that in June last 90
Spanish prisoners tried to escape
by swimming. Practically all
were drowned, he says, but he
succeeded in landing on the op-
posite bank, and was subsequent
ly able to reach Manila. Then
he went to the American author

able to reach his native town a
few days since, where he had
long been given up for dead.
