President Roosevelt has designated
Thursday, November 10Th as dag OF
general thanksgiving and prayer. In
his proclamation he says:
Year by year this country grows in
strength and worldly power. During
the century and quarter that has
elapsed since our entry into the circle
of independent people we have grown
and prospered in material things to
degree never known before and not
now known in any other country. The
thirteen colonies which struggled a
long the seacoast of the Atlantic and
were hemmed in by the Indian-haunt-
ed wilderness have been transformed
into the mightiest republic which the
world has even seen. It's domains
stretch across the continent from one
to the other of the two greatest oceans
and it exercises dominion alike in the
arctic and tropic realms. The growth
in wealth and population has surpass-
ed even the growth in territory. No
where else in the world is the average
of individual comfort and material
wellbeing as high as in our fortunate
land.
For the very reason that in material
wellbeing we have thus abounded: we

owe it to the Almighty to show equal
progress in moral and spiritual things.
With a nation, as with the individuals
who make up a nation, material we'll
being is an indispensable foundation.
But the foundation avails nothing by
itself. Thatlifeis wasted, and worse than
wasted, which is spent in piling, heap
upon heap, those things which minis
ter merely to the pleasure of the body
and the power that rests only on
wealth. Upon material wellbeing as
a founda alton must be raised the struc-
ture of the lofty life if the spirit of
this is properly to fulfill its great
mission and accomplish all that we so
ardently hope and desire. The things
of the body are good; the things of
the intellect better; but best of all are
the things of the soul, for, in the nat
ion as in the individual, in the long
run, it is character that counts Let
us therefore, as people, set our faces
resolutely against evil, and with
broad charity, with kindliness and
good will toward all men, but with
unainching determination to smite
down wrong, strive with all the
strength that is given US for right
eousness in public and in private life.

Dawning Of a Better Day.

Above and beyond the material
wealth that has come to our state, we
should reflect with grateful hearts
upon the moral uplift that is every
where apparent. In the great civil
awakening-in the regeneration OF
the public conscience, we have reason
for belief that better day is dawning;
that there will be less worship Of self,
less love of power, less lust OF gold,
less weakening of faith, and that the
return to honesty and honor will lead
easily and inevitably to the walk OF
virtue, the way of happiness, the path
of glory. Out Of financial storms re-
sultant from the stress of an era OF
fraud and frenzy, will come the sun,
rising from the darkness serene and
smiling, marking the muddled pools
along the way. With the approach
of that newer and better order, let us
hope and believe will come a more
abiding faith in free institutions,
liberty less tinged with license, prog
ress more glorious.

GOVERNORvISITS SLEEPY EYE.
Speaks to an Afternoon Crowd of
Several Hundred People.
Short Stops Made Also at Evan
and Morgan.

Gov. Johnson invaded Brown coun-
ty last Wednesday afternoon and
was accorded aattering reception.
At Sleepy Eye where he was
scheduled for the only speech of his
campaign in this county he was
greeted by great throng at the depot
and by a still larger one att ST. Mary's
hall: In fact, although the hall holds
several hundred people it was filled to
its utmost capacity, many being un-
able to gain admission. A noticeable
thing about the audience, too, was the
fact that SO many Of them were
farmers.
Geo. Glotzbach acted as master of
ceremonies at the meeting, an act in
which he is a past master, and W. r..
Hodges of the Herald Dispatch intro
duced the speaker.
OF the speech itself little need be
said, it being substantially along the
lines followed by Gov. johnson else
WuOlC. ouulSC IL w ooJ AOWOsCI I'll dU
it was attentively listened to and to
all appearances splendidly received.
From Sleepy Eye the governor took
the train for Redwood Falls. On the
train with him were hundreds who
had come down from Walnut Grove,
Lamberton, Sanborn and Wabasso
to take part in the Redwood Falls
demonstration and at Evan and again
at Morgan he was joined by more.
At Evan a short stop was made to
give the candid ate chance to shake
hands with the many who had congre.
gated at the little depot to catch a
glimpse of him.
Writing this in advance of the out,
come of Tuesdays ballot, 1t may be
truthfully said that whether or not the
st. Peter man wins he certainly has q
host of friends in every portion o.

The Kaiser as a Prophet.

The German kaiser maintains that
the English are likely some day, per-
haps not in the distant future, to be
Glad because of the existence of a
powerful German feet. He foresees
day when Europe may be compelled
to unite against the far east.
Japan, he says, in our time has risen
into the rank of powers Of the first
class. Her fleet and army are accomp-
lished facts. And if Japan, he argues,
has achieved this impossibility, China,
who is richer, and in numbers greater,
is likely also to express her strength
in armament.
The kaiser was the original invent
or of ''The Yellow Peril" He paint
ed picture, or had it painted under
his direction, portraying the image
of Buddha in the heavens riding a
yellow cloud, while the figures of
Christian nations in the foreground
girded themselves to resist the storm.
The phantom of the kaiser's imagi-
nation evoked much derision, and re-
ceived little serious attention at the
time. Grave statesmen smiled and
journalists acquainted with the worlds
affairs, quite loudly scofed. But is
there not some prophetic vision in
the kaiser's eye?
England is in alliance with Japan.
Through that alliance, which held
other powers off, the Asiatic empire
was enabled to drive Russia from her
coign of vantage on the Chinese flank.
Russia men aced England in Asia as
she did Japan, and the alliance was
based upon common self-interest OF
the two insular powers.
The uses of the alliance are largely
over. Japanesecommercial expansion
menaces English, German, and Amer
lean commerce ia The far east today,
while tomorrow it may become COM
petitor in markets nearer home.
Our fleet was welcomed in Australia,
not only because of cousinly senti-
ment, but because it represented a
great white force in the Pacific, a force
which was competent to resist an
aggressive movement of the yellow
race into white mems territory.
The yellow race exceeds the white
race in numbers. Those who should
know declare that it is not inferior in
intelligence. Its ability to exist where
the white race starves, is understood.
It's capacity to prove dangerous
rival to the white race, if it chooses,
is clear,
The kaiser is brilliant man, some
of whose intuitions are profound.

A Possible Scandal.

Is the Panama canal to furnish
the next great money scandal in the
country? The mystery surrounding
the purchase of the rights of the new
French Panama canal company is at
the root Of the talk about an immense
scandal. The Chicago Journal says:
cit is we'll known that somebody
bought the stock of the defunct Pana-
ma canal company for $4,000, 900 or
less, and sold it to the United States
for $40, 900, o00.''
The New York World sent an Eng
lish lawyer, we'll acquainted with the
procedure of the French courts, to
Paris to discover, if possible, who
got the money paid by the United
States for canal rights. He found
that the records had all been removed.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, could be
learned in France. However, there
must be records, and it is claimed by
the World that they are in the possess
sion of the administration. Congress-
man Rainey, Of Illinois, has declared
that on the first day of the next session
he will introduce a resolution pro-
viding for an inquiry into the whole
business. This may disclose who got
the money. The present rumors con-
meet the names of prominent Ameri-
cans with the large rake-off.
This story may be of campaign
manufacture. 1t may be a distortion
of perfectly legitimate business
transaction. It may be the lid of a
gigantic scandal. Itseems impossible
to evoke any authentic information
about it. But the air is laden with
enough suspicion to impel those ac-
cused, or near the accused, to demand
complete inquiry into the facts.

Cohan and Harris will present a big
organization in George NJ. Cohan's
newest musical play Fifty Miles
From Boston, at the Turner Theatre
next Sunday evening. The company
is said to include more genuine artists
than are usually assembled in one
aggregation, namely: Hazel Lowry.
Leonard Westford, Katherine Perry,
Russell Pincus, Jos. M. Sparks, Doug
las Stevenson, Chas. Willard, Wal
ter P. Richardson, ALI. Helton, Ella
Southern and Thos. Emory, together
with superb singing chorus Of more
than fifty people.
This New England play might be
called musical melo drama, mas
much as it is said to have a lot of
exciting episodes and situations.
Throughout it's three acts, however,
Mr.. Cohan has woven a web of songs
and bright nonsense, which is de-
cribed as typically Cohanesque in
quality. Some of the favorite songs
are "Waltz with Me-" "Harrigan,'
'tAin't it Awful" ''My Small Town
GAL" slack and Jill" and ''Boys
Who Fight the Flames.
| Typical New England types are
said to make the story realistic.
Harrigan, the hero Of the popular
song of that name, which was written
for $50 Miles From Boston, is said
to be cleverly portrayed Ply Jos. M.
Sparks, for many seasons leading
comedian with May Irwin.
Suzanne Leonard Westford, who
appears in prominent role, is a SIS
ter of beautiful Lillian Russell. Miss
/ Westford, in addition to possessing
a fair share Of the family beauty, is a
distinguished club woman, having
i held the Office of president of the
Professional Woman's League in
New York City.
! Many novel singing and dancing
numbers are said to be features Of
$50 Miles From Boston" and large
singing chorus of typical Cohar
beauties is also promised.

At little town in Southern Texas,
William j. Bryan's eloquent address
was received with the widest enthusi-
asm. At it's close an excited young
woman rushed up and asked permits
sion to kiss the orator. The embar-
raised politician declined the salute
politely but firmly. When they had
left the town one of the gentlemen
who accompanied Mr.. Bryan took
him to task for his lack of gallantry
and expressed his fears that the Tex
ans might resent Mr.. Bryan's action.
''Well," replied Mr.. Bryan, with a
sly glance at his wife, who was in the
party, II shall be in Texas only a
few days, but shall be with Mrs.
Bryan all my life.'

In the appended tables the ratio of drunkenness in the three prohibitory states. Maine, Kansas and North Da- kota, is compared with that shown in the state of Wisconsin. All the fig ures apply to the year 1903, the popu- lation being officially estimated on the basis of the census of 1900. Wiscon- sin has been sel rctcd not only because that license fee in that state in 1903 was a low one (S200. but chiefly for the reason that in many of. the cities. among them Milwaukee. beer is to all imtents and purposes the common drink of very large percentage of the population.
 The following table shows, first, the names of the cities; the second column the estimated population in 1903, the third column. the arrests for drunken ness in 1903 and the last column. the proportion of arrests to population:

and on the other hand Milwaukee, C'made famous by its beer'D with a population of 313.025 and with 2145 so- looms, has only one arrest for drunken ness out of every 142 of the total popu- lation.
 In the twenty cities of the prohibit | tory states. with an aggregate popula- ton of 37S,752, we have one arrest for drunkenness for every forty-two of the population. In the twenty two cities of Wisconsin, with an aggregate popula- tion of 6S9.232. we find one arrest for drunkenness for every ninety eight of the population.
 In order to compare the effects of high and low license, two states are selected as nearly similar as possible in population, geographical location. climate. natural resources, industrial pursuits. etc. viz: Connecticut and Massachusetts. enumerating all cities of over 5000 inhabitants. excepting only the city of Boston and. of course. all cities in which no licenses were grant ed in 1903.
 The license fee in Connecticut. for 1903 was s450 for the sale of all kinds of drinks, and $200 for the sale of beer only. Massachusetts has une high li- cense system. the fees running up in some instances, as high as $S00O
 A brief synopsis shows the following the complete tables being omitted as unnecessary to the point in view.
 Connecticut-Sixteen cities; popula- tion, 526. 5S2:n umber of saloons, 1908: arrests for drunkenness, 10.592.
 sachusetts-twenty-f cities; population. 9O9, ,726. number of saloons. 7S4: arrests for drunkenness, 25,065.
 Now mark the comparison:
 Proportion of arrests for drunken ness to population. Connecticut 1 to 50.
 Proportion of arrests for drunkenness to population. Massachusetts to 36.
 This would seem to dispose finally of an argument which has served the prohibitionists well, and which they will be very loath to drop, even with the new light afforded them by the United States census authorities.

Saloons and Drunkenness
iIIIlIIIITIIIIIiIInIIIIIlIIliiIIIImIIIiIIIIIiII

1 familiar claim Of the prohibition ists is that drunkenness and crimes in crease or decrease in exact proportion 10 the increase or decrease in the num- Der of saloons. in a given community.
 Hence. where they cannot have pro- hibition pure and simple they advo- cate high license on the ground that high license reduces the number of sa looms.
 This latter position cannot he dis puted But the prohibitionists main tain that in diminishing the number of saloons. high license also lessens inebriety and resultant crime.
 Here they are absolutely wrong, as can easily be shown. The number of saloons has little or no bearing on the matter. seeing that in many proven instances d very small number of sa- looms exists where the proportion of drunkenness is very large; while, on the other hand. a disproportionately large number of saloons are found in cities and states showing an amazing ly low ratio of arrests for drunken ness.
 These conclusions are established beyond question by two recent bull letinS of the United States census of flee CNos 20 and 45) which contain a detailed statement of the number of arrests in all cities of over 5000 popu- lation. It is an axiom of popular wis dom that figures will not lie;" and not even prohibitionists will accuse the United States census office of ma nipulating these figures with a sinister purpose. Let us glance at some of the more striking and significant figures in these bulletins of the United States

across the sky in the South, bearing on its back the little groups knows as the Crow and the Cup. Above these is tbs giant Virgo, bearing q single stalk of wheat in her left hand, the position of which is marked by the bright star Spica. This special star of springtime was known 10 the Arabs as the solitary one. because there is no bright star near 1t. IL has now been discovered to be made up of two great suns. which are revolving about one another ill a period of only four days.
 To the left of Virgo are the Bal ances. which mark the claws of the Scorpion. but this latter most striking summer group has not yet risen above the ground. The head of the Serpent is just appearing in the east, north of which the beautiful little Northern Crown. while nearby the great Bootes, with upstretched arm, drives the Bear before him.
 Far in the Northeast is the brilliant blue star Vega. which disappeared from the evening sky last December. As Spica is the most striking spring star, so Vega IS the brightest star of mid summer, which in the early evenings of August will shine out almost exactly in the zenith.
