has been for years, dominating
politics, we refer you to the inter-
view of Albert A. Piller on first
page relative to this matter. If
that class of citizens had kept their
hands off for the past few years, as
it should have done, there would
have been no need of incorporating
a local option plank in any plat
form, but the people, both friend
and foe of the liquor business, have
grown tired of its heavy hand, its
blighting curse and its determina-
ton to dominate politics to it's own
end and liking, and the only way
the proper solution of the ques-
TOMS to let the people speak for
themselves on this question.

what might be expected from its chemi-

Most gorgeous Burial ynults-Mnr
BILE ETgies OF Children.


BILE EMgies OF Children.
The Escurial, in which for nearly
three centuries the kings and queens
OF Spain have been buried. Is said to
be the most gorgeous burial vault in
the world, according to London Tit
Bits.
1t is an octagonal chamber. thirty
six feet across, with its walls. save
where the collins stand, entirely over
laid with precious marbles. The stair
case which leads to 1t Is of marble
with jasper walls. The general effect
is u~nspeakably splendid. In the midst
OF this magnificence are the massive
black marble Baskets let into the walls,
containing the bodies themselves. They
are exactly alike, inscribed simply with
the Games of the different kings and
queens. There is room for just six
more monarchs and their consorts.
OF another character altogether IL
the vault devoted TO Spain's royal chill
lren-princes and princesses. Here
white marble rules, and very charming
are some of the etfigies over the tombs.
The local name for the vault Is "the
place of the little angels" and though
many of the princes who lie here were
not at all angelic In their lives, the inn
preston left by the white marble wings
of the statues is one of spotless purity.
One unfortunate Spanish king. Don
Jamie III. of Aragon. is daily on view
In the Cathedral of Palma. in Majorca.
The sacristan OF the place takes you
to a yellow marble monument in the
choir, opens a cupboard and pulls out a
very ordinary coffin with a glass lid.
As poor Don Jamie died in the four
teenth century, ha is not now at all a
lively spectacle. His mummy Is made
gay, however. with imitation royal
robes-cottony ernline. and SO forth.
