only proper enforcement to make It

other and better hands, you Will see
radical change for good.
A TALK WITH Mr.. ALEAAN-
DER. OF ALEXANDER d son.
Mr.. Alexander said The whole
trouble in Elkton may be summed
up in a sentence. The law is not
enforced. But, nevertheless, condl-
lions are better than they were when
the saloon was open. We will i'm
prove them at the next election by
electing men who will do their duty.
"No, sir, the fault here is not
with Local Option. Let us place II
where it belongs. 1t lies with un-
friendly officials, and an inactive
people" a.,
So that is the reason why the
rumseller points with devilish glet
to Elkton, and scornfully laughs a.
its Local Option Law. The law Is
not enforced. You could, with the
same propriety, point with scorr
and derision to the law against muir
der. or larceny, if no attempt wa'
made to enforce it.

A TALK WITH HENRY
VINSINGER.

NlNSlN0Eh.
Henry Vinsinger, leading Dusl-
ness man of ElktOn, said to me, MY
observation is that conditions are lar
better than they were when the sa-
looms has snatched the social glass
from respectable youthful lips. 1t
has driven drunkenness to dark cor
ners. where decent men would be
ashamed to 90. They say there is a
great deal of drunkenness here, but l
believe it is confined almost to the
very commonest element of our peo-
pie.
'I'm a firm believer in Local OPP
ton. l believe it be a necessary
thing to the welfare Of a community.
But, like every other good law. 1t
must be strictly enforced to produce
good results. If the people would
demand and insist upon it, the con-
ditions here would be all that could
be desired
"Has Local Option injured your
business ?" I asked.
"eNot in the least" he replied. 81
know it is argued that the working
man goes to Newark, where whiskey
is sold to do his dealing, But that
sort of fellow generally does but one
kind of dealing, and that is over the
bar, not the counter.
mo, sir, the fault in Elkton IS not
with Local Option, but with the peo-
pie"
A TALK WITH MR.. PRICE.
I called to see F. P. Price, one Of
Elkton's best merchants, and was
informed he was out of town. !
found his brother in the store and
asked him what he thought Local
Option was doing for Elkton.
Said he, 81 think it is doing a
great deal of good here. If it were
allowed to have free course, 1t would
be an incalculable blessing to the
whole community.
"Your Delaware town OF Newark,
with its open saloons, is very hurt
full to our peace and good order"
'Wel," 1 said, "the good people
of New Castle County will close those
places this fall. %
"With that done, and the law en-.
forced here, said be, "Elkton will
be all right.
'From your observation, has Lo
cal Option hurt the business o.
the town ?"
No" he replied, 81 should hat
to think that business prosperity de
ponds upon the sale OF rum IN
town"

LOOKS LIKE A BANNER CROP
RED RIVER VALLEY OUTLOOK is
BRIGHT-WINTER WHEAT IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. II. - Crop
conditions in the Red river valley
continue favorable, and nothing but
some extreme disaster will prevent an
unusually good crop being harvested
this fall. The soaking rain which fell
Sunday did not have any detrimental
effect on the crop, according to con-
servative and reliable farmers. The
straw is so heavy that it will stand a
severe wind and rain storm without
danger of lodging. Every n in the
valley is optimistic over the outlook.
Pierre, S, D., Aug. 10.-With the ex
periments which have been made at
different points west of the river this
year there will be a large acreage of
winter wheat sown this fall In that
part of the state.
While spring wheat has been the
general crop in this part of the state,
last fall some of the new settlers who
came from winter wheat sections made
a venture in that direction, and al
ready have their harvest in the shock,
which they say will give them fully
thirty bushels to the acre. All who
have tried say they have secured a
crop which would be satisfactory to
them in any state.

sPoILS OF AUSTRIAN COURT.
How They Are Divided Among the At
tendant sUpon Royalty.

Court etiquette in Austria is more
stringent than in other European
courts.
The attendants come in for large
p~erquisites, as comestible articles are
never allowed to appear twice on the
royal tables. 1t must be a good thing
to be one of these attendants, as to one
man falls all the uncorked bottles, to
another the wine left in the glasses,
and the game, fish, and sweets are
equally divided in the same way.
Each morning a market is held in
the basement of the palace, where the
Viennese come to purchase the re-
mains of the banquet.
This custom is a revival of one that
obtained great favor in the Middle
Ages. Then the great lords of the land
were not above accepting the remains
of a feast and the lord chancellor was
entitled to the ends of one large candle
and forty small ones each day.
He in his turn made capital of this
perquisite and undoubtedly his ex-
chequer was greatly increased by it at
the end Of the year.
