Burglar Abroad.

A burglar was abroad here Satur-
day night. He first invaded the resi-
dence of G.. L. Darden and secured
something over 81 and bracelet.
He gained entrance through kitchen
window and secured the bracelet in
the dining room. He then entered
the room by Mr.. Darden and secured
his coat and trousers and carried
them on the back porch and searched
them at his leisure, taking all the
money, but leaving watch and fob
unmolested. Nothing beside the mon
ey and bracelet was missed. Mrs.
Wood and Mr.. G d. Williams family
were disturbed, but nothing was
missed from either place.

Nell noticed the girl as the car came
to stop. She was undeniably pretty,
though her clothes were little too
pronounced in color and cut, and her
hat was distinctly cloud" The white
parasol, however, softened the high
coloring of clothes and complexion and
moved the man in the seat ahead to
the audible reflection that she was a
"peach."
There was a trifling delay to the car

moved off up the street together. The
man in front remarked to his compan-
ion that "the Johnny had his nerve
with him."
The vulgarity Of the remark empha-
sized the shock Nell had felt when she
had seen Vance speak, aud with a
crimson face she turned her head
away from that side of the car that
she might not see them as the car,
now in motion again, overlook them.
She had not seen Vance board the
car, and she was certain that he had
not seen her, else he would have made
his way to her side. They had been
engaged just three days. Only that
morning he had told her over the tele-
phone how sorry he was that busi-
ness engagement prevented him from
asking her to lunch, and yet he had
apparently left the car to take this
girl to lunch.
Nell had meant to stop off at the lit
tie restaurant where she had so often
lunched with Vance. He would prob
ably take his client there, and he
would have a chance at least to speak
to her. And when one is but newly
engaged even a word and look are
worth the while. Nov she decided
that she did not want any lunch. She
only wanted to get home and have a
good cry.
But she was not permitted to enjoy
this luxury, for at the transfer corner
she ran into party of her old school
chuns. The solitaire told its own story,
and Nell was carried off to fashiona-
BILE restaurant, there to be the guest of
honor at an impromptu banquet.
AS she entered she gave start, for
though Vance was sitting with his
back toward her, she had no difficulty
in recognizing him, and the girl was

A Governors Opinion

In the following plain words Gov
ernor Dawson of West Virginia pic
tured the saloon in its true colors In
his Memorial day address delivered
last May at Grafton:
do men talk of graft? 1t is the
saloon that furnishes the scene and
atmosphere where bribery is easy and
secure from interference.
do men deplore the rule Of corrupt
political bosses? 1t is the saloon that
rallies the mass of venal and unpatri-
otto voters who constitute the phalanx
of the bosses power.
HAS crime become rampant on the
streets? The saloon is the refuge OF
the criminals.
Does vice seek protection? The
saloon effects the arrangement with
the policemen who are familiar with
it's dark secrets and comrades of its
debased fraternity.
do gamblers wish to ply their de-
moralizing trade among the young?
The saloon affords them not only the
shield, but brings them the susceptible
patronage Of inexperienced youths.
rs there a movement afoot for any
measure of civic betterment? Its op-
ponents foregather in the saloon, and
if any chicanery can beat the better
will of the majority, the fraud will be
devised in the saloon.
These are no wild charges from
crazed fanaticism, but a statement of
conditions that can be demonstrated
out of any years history in any Ameri-
can municipality of Importance"
The word should be passed down
the line to the humble worker in the
ranks, to put the emphasis on the
fact that we can elect men to office,
that it has been done and can be
done to far greater extent in the near
future.
We should have done with any plans
or methods which help to make peo-
pie believe that we are a church or
ganization and hence do not care for
recruits who are not identified with
the church.
Wherever there is a specially good
chance to elect some Prohibition party
candidate, outside help should be
given, for every man elected becomes
an object lesson as to the practical
bility OF our method.-Oliver
Stewart. y

SALOON LICENSE NOT WITHIN
STATES POLICE POWER.

The saloon, which has been repeat
eddy held to be the prime source Of
all crime, has no right to exist at
common law, and. the license which
grants it the privilege is not a re-
strictive measure, but it is the grant
ing of a right which heretofore did
not exist.
J. am therefore of the opinion that
law creating business dangerous
to public morals, to public safety, to
public peace, to public health, is not
within the police power of the state.

Christian, Hamilton County (Ind.)
Circuit Court, April 10, 1907.

Throttle the Anarchists!

This is the way in which Rev. DR..
d. ]. Burrell of the Collegiate Re-
formed Church, New York City, looks
at the practicability of enforcing pro-
hibition law. DR.. Burrell was formerly
pastor of Westminster Presbyterian
Church, Minneapolis. He says:
ut is objected also that Prohibition
does not prohibit.
IF this means that 1t does not
wholly prevent the use Of intoxicating
liquors the point is we'll taken; but
like objection can be made against
every one of the Ten Commandments.
1t is quite safe to say that the laws
forbidding the sale of intoxicating
liquor are as we'll enforced as those
against theft, murder and adultery. And
we venture to suggest that the failure
of the latter laws to prevent the vices
they are aimed at is no good reason
for displacing them to make way for
pertinent license laws.
ut is an amazing thing, in view OF
the facts, sthat thoughtful men should
ever permit themselves to echo this
WORKOUT and wearisome cuckoo-call,
Prohibition does not prohibit In
1850, the year before the Maine Law
was passed, million gallons of rum
were distilled in that State, there was
one grog-shop for every 225 inhabit-
ants, and the expenditure for liquor
was twenty dollars per capita. To
day there is not a brewery or distillery
in Maine nor a single open bar, and
the consumption of liquor, while not
absolutely cut off, has been reduced
from twenty dollars to fifteen cents
per capita Such figures could be
multiplied indefinitely; and they
would seem to be rather convincing.
And tell us, pray, why the liquor deal
ers of the entire country are vocifer-
ously opposed to the enactment of
Prohibitory laws?
but suppose Prohibition did not
prohibit, where would the blame lie?
At the door Of the makers and vendors
of intoxicating drink. In other words,
these people are arrayed against the
law. That, in America, is lese majestic
The rum traffic is the most concrete
form of anarchy in our country today.
The cry raised in the Haymarket in
Chicago by group of foreign anarch-
lists was Throttle the Lawn and it
was answered by the death-sentence.
The way to deal with those who con-
spire to defeat the end Of government
is not to temporize, nor to compro-
mise, but to throttle those who pro-
pose to throttle the law"

MANY TEMPERATE GERMANS.

Thousands of the best German Ameri-

German sentiment is q gratuitous SANDER

who now live in America. Prof. j. G..
author of widely circulated temperance
and prohibition literature in the German
language, says upon this point:

the fact that the German official church
