The Cleveland, Ohio. Press quotes
a man whom they call "the best
known saloonkeeper in Cleveland -
as saying:
GA man who builds home -Ir
his family in wet district is a
fool All residential districts should
be dry districts, and saloons confin-
ed exclusively to the business sec
items of the city,
Probably this saloonkeeper was
not Weighing his words very care
fully, but was talking for effect
in an attempt to get in line with
the reform swell which the saloon
is eagerly trying to ride over the
bar into quieter water, to use de-
cidedly mixad metaphor: but the
remark is worth studying. II a
man is a fool for building home
in "wetv district, why is he
not fool for having home in a
wet" city? The mere permitting OF
the saloon few blocks from the
horse where he lives accomplishes
|no important result: the atmos-
phere of the town. the politics OF
the town, the moral perils of the
town are practically the same.
In short, 1t Is cup to'' every
American citizen who has home
to consider whether he wants the
saloon to exis. in antagonism to the
home at all; and since, II he has a
home he purposes to keep it, the
problem becomes How to get rid OF
the saloon entirely.
BY the way, when the saloon gets
ready to endorse the residential
district" idea, isn't 1t pretty near
lly time for some other people to
move on a hit?-The Nationa. Pro-
hibitlonist OF January 16, 1908.
The liquor men now admit that
| there are few undesirable saloon
keepers who ought to De gotten
rid of. 1t i astonishing how widely
scattered these "fewD are. one
hears of them in all parts Of the
country. In fact, the desirable
member of the trade is so little In
evidence that one is tempted to
believe him myth.-The Union

The news which comes from
Georgia concerning the success at.
tending the inauguration OF the
Prohibition regime In that state
and the remarkable results which
are shown in the diminution OF
crime, the emptying of the jails
and the lisuse of the courts, can
hardly fail TO impress any intelli-
gent reader.
What Georgia is experiencing. and
vastly more for Georgia has Just
begun. any state can have by
merely getting rid of the liquor
traffic. 1t is however, to the selfish
advantage Oh a small percentage OF
the population to keep the liquor
traffic in existence: and we let this
handful of our basest and our worst
rule us with rod of iron, hood
wink us defraud us, befool us
year after year.

arousing of the manhood of Amer.

Apostasy Is the falsity OF the So
cial order. of economics. of FIN
ance, OF history, of religion, of all
things. Apostasy in religion, in the
social order. in economic differs
in quantity or in degrees, but not
In quality, for principle possesses
all quality. Only an insignificant
number Of those who have passed
hence in the last three centuries
had an opportunity to get an ink
ling of our country's history ex-
cept that which was taught them
from one source. No atonement
can be offered for this. Only a
small minority OF our present popu-
lation has access to an avenue to

While it is generally conceded that
Bryan will be nominated at Denver,
politicians are casting about for the
most available candidate for Vice
President, and are looking for a man
who could bring the radicals and
conservatives together. SO very few
names have been presented for con-
sideration. The more prominent ones
being the present Lieutenant Cover
nor OF Virginia, j. Taylor Ellyson
and EX-GOVERNOR Douglas, OF Massa-
chusetts. Neither has expressed him
self on the subject. but as the south
lis to be considered the chances OF
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson are ex-
cellent. He has numerous friends
here in New York both among the
radicals and conservatives. AS the
democratic Party is anxious to dc
something to curry favor with the
south, 1t is a foregone conclusion
that Lieutenant Governor Ellyson
would have no difficulty in securing
the nomination should he desire II
LAS to his qualifications to fill the
Vice Presidency, one need only TO look
at the manner in which he conducts
the Legislature In Virginia.

Holland In the year 16O8, where
they enjoyed every religions political

inevitable that assimilation was to

Nothing daunted by the attitude of
the President in openly endorsing
Secretary Taft's candidacy, the
friends of Governor Hughes are going
ahead making extensive preparations
to push his boom to the utmost. Sew
eral hundred thousand letters are be-
ing sent out to Republicans in all
parts of the country by the committee
of twenty-five of the Republican
County committee, which was formed
for the purpose of aiding Hughes
candidacy. These letters set forth
the arguments of the Governor and
lit is hoped that much good will come
from them. The slogan of the Gov
ernors adherents is: Nominate
Hughes, for he is the only Republi-
can candidate who would be sure to
carry New York State in the coming
election. There are many however
who are not quite so sure of this and
who feel that, particularly with
President Roosevelt's Endorsement,
Secretary Taft would make an equal
ly strong, II not stronger candidate
than Governor Hughes. In a recent
editorial the New York World said:
"Since the Secretary of War re-
turned from the Orient his cand dacy
has shown remarkable gain in
strength. This gain is likely to be
continuous. Taft is the most con-
|yincing and winning personality
among all the asprants for the Re-
publican nomination. The World

Iof opposing candidates can wrest the

DIR. ALIENS ATTORNEYS MOVE
FOR CHANGE OF VENUE.
PREJUDICE IS ALLEGED
Petition States That Inquiries Lead
Him to Believe That 1t Would Be
impossible to Secure Jury That Has
Not Formed Opinion.

From Saturdays Daily.
Alleging that he cannot ecure a fair
trial in this county, DIR. w. A. Allen
filed a petition for a change Of
in his case with the clerk Of the dis
trict court yesterday.
The petition states that he believes
and has every reason to do SO, that he
will not secure a fair trial in Yellow
stone county when his case is tried,
because the people are prejudiced
against him.
He declares that it would be i'm
possible to secure 10 men to try his
case who have not formed opinions Of
his guilt or innocence that would dis
qualify them. He bases this assertion
on the fact that he has talked with a
number OF the people in the county
and is advised that prejudice against
him is almost universal.
Supported by Evidence.
In his petition he further recites
that he has made inquiries
throughout the entire county in re-
gard to the feeling OF the people and
that these inquiries disclosed the fact
that there is a very strong and al
most universal prejudice against him
in all sections Of the county.
DR.. Allen states that the statements
in the petition are supported by oral
evidence.
DR.. Allen was tried at the last term
OF the district court and the trial re-
suited in a hung jury. Judge Fox
stated at that time that the case would
be tried during the March term Of the
district court and attorneys for the de-
PENDANT gave notice that they would
ask for a change of venue.
The case awakened greater interest
than has been manifested in any case
in the district court fer some time and
at each session OF court the court
was crowded with spectators.
