feel almost like city folks.
Jim Shaw came up from New
Castle yesterday and today was
about town telling about his gold
discoveries since he left here.
DIR. Berry is very much improv-

funeral of the babe of Mr.. and
Mrs. Welsh Mansfield.
H. J. Baird of Delta is in the
city. Mr.. Baird is here to attend
the board of trade meeting to-
night and comes as the official
representative of that city.
The school election yesterday
was very quiet affair, there be-
ing little interest owing to the
fact that there was but one can-
didate, William Dougan, in the
field.
At the meeting of the county
board this afternoon an allowance
of $500 was made to the Rifle
Fair association. The committee
of Rifle citizens asked for $3.50,
but the board though $500 about
the right amount.
A report was received in Glen
wood yesterday to the effect that
Mrs. W. NJ. Jones is not so well
and that another operation was
considered necessary. This is
sad news to the many friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, but we shall
hope that this report is perhaps
somewhat beyond the
real facts.
W. c. Maupin recently sold his
business in Leadville

Divide country where he says
land is now worth 800 an acre
and no one wanting to sell.
A strong remonstrance has been
made by the people of Carbondale
against the county commissioners
permitting James Sheridan to
open a saloon near the Midland

MISS ADDAMS

1t is to be regretted that Miss JANE Adams,
Chicago's noted settlement worker, who is
member of the board of education, voted with
the majority in opposition to the requirement OF
total abstinence of school janitors and engineers
in this city The vote is made the more repre-
hensibe by the fact as it is now discovered, that
there are school engineers now holding positions
vital to the safety of the school children OF Chi
cago, who have been drunk on duty discharged
for that drunkenness, reinstated and been drunk
again In the case of Miss adams the offense
AGAINST public welfare at least seems more griev-
Gus than in the case of the politicians with whom
she is associated, for the reason that from her
work, and particularly from those things that
have been said in praise OF her work the public
has come to expect better things from her.
Some years ago the editor of this paper was
forced to bring the views OF Miss ADAMS con
corning the saloon into considerable prominence,
and we regret to say that the unfavorabe symp
toms which then appeared have increased and
grown greater until that eminent woman can be
properly classified as squarely committed to the
heresy that the saloon is a social necessity"
The capture of the name and influence of such
woman by the liquor interests is little less than
public calamity.

PROFANE IGNORANCE

A more disgusting exhibition of blasphemous
ignorance perhaps never furnished than that
which is furnished by one H. F. DAVENPORT, said
to be the manager of Chicago firm which manu-
features billiard tables and barroom furniture,
but principally famous among his fellow citizens
as the chief executive of an organization that
assumes to represent the business men OF Chi
cago in opposing the Prohibition movement.
In a recent outburst against Prohibltionists in
general and Prohibition ministers in particular,
Mr.. DAVENPORT quotes the New Testament Scrip
ture which refers to Jesus as eating with pub
licans, and exhibits his ignorance by assuming
that the word "publicans" as found in the Eng
fish Bible, means liquor sellers. He follows this
with quotation of the words OF Jesus found IN
the story of the last supper, where He tells his
disciples that He will not drink the fruit of the
vine again, until that day when | drink it new
with you in my Fathers kingdom and upon the
strength of this asserts that the kingdom of
Heaven is an authorization state and that hell
is Prohibition country and the devil the chief
Prohibitionst.
Mr.. DAVENPORT reaches depth of ignorance
and indecency where argument is useless

NEW HAMPSHIPE'S DEGENERACY

We have seen references to an article in lions
Herald by the Rev. E. S. TRAsKER of New Hamp-
shire, in which he aments the growth of crime
and immortality in that state and points out the
fact that, whereas the commitments for drunk
enness in 1902 were only 473, in 1906 they were
2,1S2
We have not seen Mr.. TRAsKERs article and
must not be understood as voicng a hostile criti-
csm, but very ready explanation suggests itself
to us. For years the good people of New Hamp-
shire have been quiescent before the liquor power
while it broke down and finally repealed the
Prohibition law The Christian citizens of New
Hampshire have let the bosses of political parties
controlled by the liquor interests carry them about
in their vest pockets and vote them at will. The
natural result is not only this enormous increase
OF drunkenness but an increase of all that is
bad
New Hampshire needs revival of Christian
manhood and the place whereat to exercise such
remnants thereof as it may have, is at the door
of the liquor traffic.

WHAT ST. LOUIS PRESBYTERIANS
MEAN

The Rev. Dr.. SAMUEL J. NICcoLLs of ST. Louis,
who was mentioned in this paper in connection
with the report of the doings of the presbytery
of St. Louis, sends us a copy of resolutions
adopted by the presbytery May II, referring
to the public understanding of certain resolutions
adopted at former meeting. In these later reso-
lutions the presbytery assert that its former
lutions misinterpreted and that it is mot
to be understood as opposing Prohibition and
that it thankfully rejoices in the spread of popu-
lar opposition to the liquor traffic"
e gladly give publicity to this afterthought
of the St. Louis presbytery and trust it will not
be taken unkindly when we say that the matter
would have been much better understood by the
public if the presbytery had said what it meant in
the first place
DR. NICCoLLs also assures us that the statement
that he drank champagne with President Roose
welt at the luncheon in ST. Louis is false and
has no warrant" DIR. NIccoLLs says:
81 was one of the guests at that banquet and,
when the President proposed toast, all the gen
tlenen at the table arose and lifted their glasses
before them, as is the custom. | did this with
the rest How many drank wine | do not know,
but that I, then or at any other time drank
champagne or any other wine with the President
is not true. [ refrained for reasons personal to
myself. The intimation Of the article that | am
in the habit of using wine or any other strong
drink is equally false and has warrant"
We deeply regret that an injustice has been
done DR.. NIccoLLs, though we feel no response

bility for it nor do we think that responsibility
lies with correspondent The statement that
Dr. -.-cCoLLs drank champagne on that occasion
became current shortly after the affair and, so far
know, has never before been denied. And
it must be admitted that upon the Doctors own
showing of the case there was at least shadow
of excuse for the report. We glad to know
that the good Doctor didn't drink and to learn
that, while perhaps lacks some of the charac-
terstics of Daniel, he at least, Commentary
initiated the example of Naaman, as suggested
in II Kings, SIS.

LOCAL OPTION

With the presentation of the two articles
which appeared in this paper last week, it seems
to us that pretty nearly everything has been said
that can be said in favor of local option There
are always differences of opinion in any company
of men who think There will probably always
be differences of opinion among Prohibitionists
as to what is, or has been, the bearing of local
option upon the Prohibition movement. How
ever, large part of what we suppose to be
differences of opinion if examined, will prove
to be only misunderstanding of terms. About
no-hcenSe all Prohibitionists are at practical
agreement, and again, about local option, when
we strip that term of its supposed character
a synonym for no-license, we are practically
agreed.
Just at present we wonder whether in the very
near future, we shall not be almost disguised
with ourselves for spending much time and
thought upon local option at this advanced stage
in the progress of reform. Today is not the
day of local option but of real Prohibition.
The demand of the American people is not for
some mere patchwork nonsense but for aggres-
sive action against the liquor traffic. Where
local option is being used to get rid of the
saloon it is the Prohibition spirit that is accom-
plishing the result, and where local option IS
being clamored for as a new law, the leaders and
directors of the clamor are the politicians who
want to Settle the liquor question without ma
terially changing the present status and without
injurng the political parties that have earned
death sentence by their subserviency to the sa-
LOOM Local option did not lead up to the present
position; local option has relation to the
present situation Prohibition is the order of the
day.

"WINE WHICH CHEERETH GOD AND
MAN"

Does the Bible say that wine cheers God and
MANI
~The writer of this question has evidently been
reading some of the literature that is being sent
out by the Travelling Mems Liberty League in
which, considerable prominence is given to this
remarkable Scripture. For the Bible does say
it. that is it does say it just about as much it
says There is no Cod and in about the same
way in which it says of JESUS "Thou hast devil
and art mad''
The passage is a trfe obscure and for that
reason ought to be more thankful to the
eminent Biblical students who have unearthed
it and brought it forth to teach the world wis
DOM
If the inquirer will take his Bible and will turn
to the book Of Judges he will find in the ninth
chapter of the book, upon the eminent authority
of JorHAM, son of JERUBBAAL, that once upon
time the trees went forth to choose king, and
after being turned down" by several trees, they
asked the vine to be their king and the vine said:
"ShonH I lea0e my 7oine 70hich cheereh God
and man to go to be promoted over the trees?"
Yes, that is in the Bible, and, according to the
Travelling Mems Liberty League and all the rest
of the berry, whisky-soaked crowd, it means
that, to the end of time all men, as they hope
for salvation, must knock their heads on the
ground before the gin miller.
The interesting character of the passage is
not the only interesting thing about this appeal
to the Bible. If are not mistaken, Mr.. NJ. M.
MANGAsARIAN of this city was the first eminent
ecclesiastical authority to quote this passage of
Scripture against Prohibition. Mr.. MANGAsARI-
ANS devotion to the Scripture is something Won
derfully touching particularly in view of the
fact that less than six months ago in public de-
bate in this city he denied the authenticity of the
Scriptural statement that there was living in
Palestine such parsonage as JESUS CHRIST

Patriotism in the Making.

Patriotism in New York is cosmo-
politan. They have flag drill in the
schools in which the children of
every race and cline, as the hymn
book says, are taught to salute the
stars and stripes and give their
heads, their hands and their hearts
to their country" And in some Of
the big downtown schools you may
see children from homes German, Ital-
ian, Syrian, scandinavian, Jewish,
hungarian, Chinese, Armenian, Greek,
and heaven knows how many more ma
tionalities, all joining in this pictur-
esque ceremony. 1t gives one real
izing sense Of the variety of material
which is put into the crucible We call

During seasons when disease has

in the main all matter of degree.
OF course, there are conditions and
stages of rottenness when it would be
little short of folly to do anything but
destroy them. On the other hand,
that moderately diseased potato,
though unfit for culinary purposes, has
definite food value for stock. and

came to the city. Through friends Mr..
Hummel was introduced to her and

and secured her introductions into the

owes largely to the kindly interest of
Mr.. Hummel.
And Miss Brown was grateful.
She was not content to tell only of
the many kindnesses he had done for
her and her mother. She did more.
The first day the convicted lawyer
sent word to the outside world from
his cell in prison that he would like
to see those of his old friends who
still cared to see him, Miss Brown was
one of the first to hurry to him with
flowers and fruit and some dainty
jelly that her mother had made with
her own hands. 1t was the sight of
his little friend that brought the first
smile to the face of the little lawyer
that any one had seen after his con.
viction.

ResembIed the Other One"

Imagination, of course, plays large
part in the receptions of the nursery.
A child of four or five was giving an
account to her parents of the capture
of a snake at the end of the garden.
Like many grown-up raconteurs, she
posed as having been present, though
she had the story in reality from her
slightly elder brother, who had been
delighted witness. Enlarging on
every detail, she was at last pulled up
by her father who knew how much of
her evidence was circumstantial.
And what was the color of this
snake?" he asked This was a poser,
Tom had omitted to tell her the color,
But she was not going to be daunted
by minor detail of this sort. 1T was
the same color as the snake that Tom
saw she said.

tatoes are good food for pigs and have
been given to COWS even in raw state
with profit. To sell the sound tubers
and have the damaged ones for stock
is not altogether bad business, hence
a mild attack of disease may be borne
with equanimity." And, further, as to
the wholesomeness of diseased pota-
toes for stock, "I.remember one case
in particular in which there were
number of diseased ones in the crop,
and these were given raw to cows in
milk without any ill-effects." In stock
feeding or farm practice of any kind,
as in many other occupations, one
cannot lay down absolute rules and
say, do this or that, and certain
other things are bound to happen; but
in this instance we can to a large
extent, If not altogether, secure i'm
munity from any trouble likely to re-
suit from the use of diseased potatoes.
and this by using only reasonable
precautions in preparing them as food
for stock. The potatoes should be
carefully overlooked and thoroughly
cleaned before use, all the soft. badly
rotten ones thrown on one side to be
destroyed, the presumably fairly good
ones cooked, preferably steamed.
The accumulated experiments of
the last few years show clearly the
beneficial effects of spraying, and the
Bordeaux mixture now so commonly
used is only of real practical service
when used as preventive rather than
a cure. Early in July, IL the weather
is dull, warm and moist, it suggests
that at any hour an outbreak of dis
ease may occur. 1t were better far
not to wait for such conditions before
striking a vigorous blow to yard off
the prospective enemy.

OF course. on several of these occa-
sions Miss Brown was announced. The
doctor was introduced.
And then of course the inevitable
happened.
Even before he had been formally
presented, Dr. Matz had heard of the
beautiful young woman whose graft
tude toward her old friend had never
changed in his adversely. He had
heard of her from Hummel, from the
other prisoners, from the keepers
who had come to look forward to her
visits almost as anxiously as did
Hummel himself.
What has followed has been the Sc.

with bushes, will tell you herself that

her he had made up his mind that SC
loyal friend as Miss Brown had
shown herself to be was just the girl
for him.
