Never was there a greater mistake.
They are going to try prohibition as
Il plan TO cure the greatest evil that
curses mankind.
Don't for moment imagine that the
southerners Will Danish the side board
- wine cellar. Don't conjure up any
picture of a. dry southern planters
mansion. Mint juleps will still be
concocted in the southern states The
Kentucky colored man will still have
a beautiful and elegant thirst.
But the southerners do realize that
the saloon as conducted in the south
today is a menace to life and property
That the negro and the Indian alike
when he can get fire-water Is worse
than wild beast. The south knows
this, and so in self defense they pro-
pose to prohibit the sale Of liquor to
the negro, the same as Uncle Sam does
to the Indian. And 1t Is a wise move.
Would to God in some way we could
etIectually prohibit the sale of liquor
to the white man.

AN EXPENSIVE DRINK OF BEER.
(Alton Democracy
O'Brien county this week paid one
hundred dollars for drink of booze.
This seems rather high but 1t will be
remembered that barley is away up.
'rhe way 1t came about is as follows:
Back in 1903 a man by the name OF
Asmus was killed on a Milwaukee rail-
road crossing. A man by the name Of
Ahrenstorff was appointed his admin
istrator and was suing the road for
damages. The trial had gotten nicely
started--just enough to involve the
county in about one hundred dollars of
expenses - when AhrenstorH was
buying drink for one of the
Jurors. Judge Oliver held that neither
Of the parties probably intended any
wrong but that court etiquette de-
,manded that the trial end then and
there. 1t will be. heard on a change of
venue at LeMars.

is 26,357 This is proportion Of about

While the percentage Of foreign born

THE CORN PICKER.
(Orange City Herald)


Just as corn Is king Of all
crops, so the corn picker is far and
away ahead OF the cotton picker. who
is usually lazy and improvident black.
The corn picker goes into the fields
these bright mornings about sunrise.
it Is busy work and trifle cold at
first. But when he gets warmed up
- the work the ears begin to fall into
the wagon with rhythmical regularity
and before nightfall he has gathered
the crop from an acre and one-half
and has something like 50 to his credit.
Corn pickers are hard to get, altho
he wages are much better than those
usually paid to stenographers and
clerks in the stores. 1t would do most
clerks good to get out into the fields
these glorious days. provided the law
would allow the farmer to stand over
them with long whip and keep them
at work.
