Twenty-eight of the young men
who will spend the summer in Min
nesota working for the state COM
mittee have been in conference dur
ing the past week in Minneapolis.
Glasses have been conducted by Sec
rotary Calderwood, Asst. Secretary
Shields, Organizers Rice, Gill and
Markve, and H. S. Warner of Chi
cago. All who have seen the young
men who have been employed agree
that they are the strongest all
around fellows ever lined up for
work of this kind anywhere. Every
legislative district in the state will
be placed in charge of competent
college man, and he will devote his
entire time up to election to the in
terest of a Prohibition candidate
for the lower house of the legisla-
ture. This is the method of work
that has been SO successful in the
past in Minnesota. and the state
committee has great hopes of elect
ing sufficient number of men next
year to gain control of the organi-
zation of the house of representa-
tives in this state.
Mr.. Busch of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Co., has announced himself
as favoring my friend Taft" as
president Of the United States.
Mr.. Busch evidently remembers
Taft's services to the brewers and
saloonists in connection with the
San Francisco disaster and with the
admission of Oklahoma as Prohi-
bition state.
F. L. Seeley, editor of the Allan
ia Georgian, announces that the de-
feat of Hoke Smith for renomina-
tion as governor Of Georgia was not
due to his support of the Prohibi-
tion law, and further that the Pro-
hibition law in Georgia is perma-
nent and of much value to that city.
He points out that but two per cent
Of the bank clearings Of Atlanta
came thru the liquor interest.
John Temple Graves thus epito-
mics the results Of prohibition in
Georgia, in the Cosmopolitan for
June: Three months ago the red
lights faded from the Georgia sa.
loon, and not symptom Of finan-
cial distress can be traced to the
new regime. Not financial fail.
ure has been traced to the new re.
form. Not a dollar has beer
dropped from the stiff value of rea
estate in Georgia's capital. Every
gilded saloon has been re-opened as
a mart of fashion or trade. The
occupation Of the police judges, tol
time at least, is gone. The SEES
sions of the city court have dwind
led to proportions which glorify
the law. Since the first of January
there has been no negro assault OF
a woman to arouse the state
Landlords speak of better rents ano
prompter payments, employers O!
labor describe an advance in home
life and home comfort among work
ingmen, and but for the general fl
nancial stringency which has de
pressed the country. it is claimed
that rejoicing would even now bt
going thru the Georgia valleys lik'
a song
The grief of the brewers, caused
by the fact that the two per cent O.
the grain crop of the country nov
used by them is liable to be divert
ed to the raising Of live stock, il
quite pathetic.

Gov. Hanley of Indiana says
1.-The only sovereign in this countr!
is the law. No one can stant
above the law without weakening
the fundamental principles Of ou
government We must respect law
that exist until they are repealed
Anyone who does not respect tn
law is a traitor to our flag just a
much as if he shot Old Glory full
of holes.
1.-The liquor traffic violates no
only law, but every principle 0
government that safeguards ou1
magnificent institutions"

act like the devil and smell like tn
devil, that l may not be deceived
by him.
