Again Before Council. - Herbert
Wadsworth, trustee, the gentleman
who is asking the Davenport city coun-
ell to give him a franchise for gas
and electric plant here for from two to
twenty-five years, was in attendance
upon Monday afternoons meeting of
the city council in committee of the
whole. He remained the enigma that
he has been since he came to this city,
and beyond the presence of William
Mullen, his introducer here and chief
supporter, no more light was thrown
upon whom he represents or who is
back of him. A number of minor mat
tiers were discussed, but the promise
of Mr.. Wadsworth that he would bring
some one to the city to identify him
was the most important feature of the
meeting

RESOLUTIONS OF conDoLeNce.

In loving remembrance Of Rellen,
beloved daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark, and a charter member OF the
Lady Masons, we, her sisters, deeply
mourn her loss. All that was mortal
Is changed now and clouded forever.
But how great is your comfort in the
well grounded assurance that the good
Shepherd that careth for His flock has
taken your daughter into his fold. She
was only loaned to you and must re-
turn to her Heavenly Father, for He
has said suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not for OF
such Is the kingdom OF heaven. And
oh, that you may say, have this con-
ISOLATION, that she cannot return to me
but | can go to her. Truely We live In
world where solemn shadows are
continually falling before our pathway.
But this blessed assurance teaches us
the one good Lord says come unto
me all we that are wearied and heavy
laden and will give thee rest. She
was the youngest amongst us, and we
feel that her place can never be filed,
and We will Join In with the father
and mother and say, Helen, sleep on.
Sleep and take thy rest
Lay down your head upon the
Saviours breast.
We loved you well but Jesus loved
you best.
Sleep on. sleep on, sleep on.
Resolved, That Il copy be sent to
the bereaved family and placed on our

and every class Of our citizenship

If for no other reason, it means the

a UNION FOUNDED ON EQUITY,

The address of President Charles
Barrett, of the National Farmers
Union. delivered at the convention OF
that body in Little Rock, was notable
for its conservatism of utterance, no
less than for a sensible appreciation
of the responsibilities entailed on the
union by the vast power created by
its far-reaching organization.
The following extract, for example,
indicates conyincingly that President
Barrett, while recognizing in their
entirety the right and the needs OF
the leader, realizes with an equal de-
gree Of keenness the important rela-
ton in which the union and its 'acts
stand with relation to the other busl-
ness interests Of the country:
s:The one clear, crystal thing we
must keep in our minds is the fact
that we are here to demand and to
secure every right and every liberty
for ourselves and for our wives and
Tor our children that our numbers
and our influence and our Importance
to the republic will justify.
<tBut when this is done [ am sure
shat I speak the sentiment OF the
great and intelligent body over which
Z preside when I say that we do moi
wish to curtail the legitimate pros
perity Of any class Of industry, higt
or low, in the republic. We wish ou7
rights. we demand our privileges, W.
insist upon our full equality in thu

The citizens of Asheville, N. c., held
an election on Tuesday on the liquor
question, and voted prohibition for
tne city by a. large majority.
North Carolina has local option
law something like the law in South
Carolina, except that the citizens of
any municipality have the three op-
tions, which are permissible under our
constitution, viz, prohibition, license
or dispensary. Nearly all Of the coun-
ties in North Carolina nave voted pro-
hibition and the prohibition sentiment
seems to be growing throughout that
state.
In fact. there can be little doubt
that the prohibition wave, so to speak,
is sweeping over the entire south. We
would not be surprised to see all OF
the southern states in the next few
years adopt a state prohibition law.
It would seem that the politicians Of
this state were trying to fall over one
another in the effort to- become the
leader of state prohibition in South
carolina. and we would not be sur
prised to see state prohibition law
enacted at the next session Of our
own legislature. So far as we are con-
cerned, we have no objection to the
enactment of sucn law, but it seems
to US that prohibition would be more
effectually enforced if we would con-
tinue under the present law, and as
public sentiment in each county grew
in favor of prohibition, let that coun-
tv vote prohibition into it. The pro-
hibition law in those counties which
have voted for prohibition, is about
as effectually enforced as other laws
but if the state would undertake tc
force prohibition upon those counties
in which the sentiment is not strong
enough to see that the law is enforced
the danger is that such action woulc
retard real and genuine prohlb1tlo1
and do more harm for the cause thar
to continue to vote prohibition BY
counties as public sentiment grew II
favor of it. If the prevailing publi'
sentiment of any community is not II
favor of anylaw, we do not bellev'
that it helps the cause Of law and or
der to force such a law upon tha
community. In this matter especially
we believe it is best that the coun
tv should be the unit instead of tn
; state, and as prohibition sentiment in
creases, there will be little difficult,
. in voting prohibition into the coun
ties that now sell vhiskey; and If l
: is done in this way, the law will b
more effectually enforced.

nnlouhiy,liv t:1o '"u,.i.:-: ISSUE in the
}asr "n1c:na:o?iai campaign, and be-
tween that and the state dispensary
system. the fight was wa9ed and the
people recorded their preference for
local county option rs between the
':ounty diSpensa.y and county prohl-
5oition. There was no mistaking the
sentiment Of the people on that ques-
sion as was evidenced by the vote,
which Gov. Ansel received, because
ne was opposed by gentleman per-
5sonallv very popular. and equally as
competent for the high position to
which The two aspired.
The point made by the News and
Courier, it strikes us. IS good one.
of course if the next session OF the
present legislature, which was elect
ed largely on the same issue, should
pass a state prohibition law, the
point made by the News and Courier
would not have the force that it
would haye in the event the legisla-
lure determined to stand by it's local
option law. If Gov. Ansel should
stand for reelection, he will likely
and almost certainly succeed himself
without opposition. In case he should
not, however, we will have forced up
on us campaign next year between
state prohibition and our local op-
Tion law, and it will be before the peo-
ple Of the state have time to test the
present arrangement.
AS we have said before, there seems
10 be prohibition tidal wave sweep
inc over all Of the southern states,
out We believe it would be better to
give a little longer trial for the local
OPTION law, which was adopted lasS
winter. and as public sentiment IN
each county grows in favor OF proh1-
bition. that county has the right and
4he privilege, under the present law,
ITO vote out the legal sale Of wnlskey,
and if it should be done under the
Drovisions Of the law as it now stands
The probability is that prohibition
5neked by a healthy public sentiment
will be more. rieidly enforced, where-
as if We undertook at one blow to put
prohibition upon the entire state,
There would be great difficulty in Sc
curing proper or even a respecta-
HE enforcement Of the law IN those
communities, in which the public SEN
siment in favor Of such law was not
strong enough to uphold the officers
in their efforts to enforce 1t.
