WORK THEIR OWN DOWNFALL

Eleven hundred saloons in various parts of Illinois were put out of busi- ness by the vote of the people on Tues day. The prOhlbitionists are of course jubilant and congratulsting themselves on the great progress of their cause. They take to themselves lhe credit DO doubt, oi educating the people 10 this pass. For DO one can read the record Of the day doiugs without being compelled to take notice of the great aud rapid spread Of the prohibition or local option movement, that recently put the whole south in the dry column and Is ad. ding state after state to their credit in the elections.
 But they are wrong about 1t. IL is not the prohtbitionists that are respon. sible for this stampede of the country, but the saloons themseIves-saloons that accept their liquor license as a license to commi, and breed crime. The Sa- loon bushes, properly conducted would never be menaced in a free country such as ours. But when th" saloons are made the rendezvous for rogues, the matching place and vehicle of crime they invite their own destruction with absolute certainty.
 It is the same principle that has brought about opposition to other things that are uno 1jectiOnoble in them selves and even to be commended-the abuse of trade uniouism for instance. The American people will stand for Grest deal-as has been seen in the matter of graft in offices of trust. But once their opposition is aroused they go after these things to suppress them, just as they are going after anarchy tO rid the country of 1t.

ONE WAIT SECURE \ FIGHTING EDITOR

Mrs. Elizabeth soham, editor of the Storm Lake, Uowal videtts, entered s 6gh, for tbe county printing and lost out She saw where she was wrong and did not hesitate In the premises but seized upor her leap year prerog- stive to print in the next issue of her paper the following:
 "A constant fight for what rightiully belongs 70 her Is wear and tear ou the nervous system of any woman, and we have cone 70 tue belief that in order to stay ln newspaper work and maintain our health we will have to marry some good printer who can do the fighting and swearing for us. It is leap year and this may be considered as a proposal by scy one who would be qualified to hIl the vacancy in the Yi- dette office"
 A bachelor editor of neighboring town saw the offer and responded in the issue succeeding, of his paper, the LYtton Star, as follows:
 I've believe we are eligible to fill the vacancy which Sister Soham feels exists in her print shop. We're 8 Missouri democrat of forty years stand iug; considered Q smooth printer; as to our fighting qualities, suffice to say that welcome from a family that Kills; on the swearing proposition, our press feeder says that we would be there with the goods, as we swear in seven different languages when things go wrong on press night. But before we would agree to take up LiZZie's burdens she will nave 70 show credentials as to her eligibility 10 the vacancy which we have known existed for some time at our wigwam. She must know how to make pancakes; fry ham and eggs, and make good coffee; she must have the staying qualities to chase 8 soiled shirt up and down a WaShboard until 1t be- comes cleso; she mus know how 70 dsro socks and the gable end of our tro bsers, etc. II the fair editress feels like filling a vacancy for vacancy be- ing filed, we stand ready 10 close the deal"

1T SAVED MY LIFE
WRITES ECZEMA PATIENT.
Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely
Cured by Use of D. D. D.
External Wash.

One of the most remarkable
Eczema cures recently credited to
the we'll known D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton has just been recorded in
Chicago.
Mrs. E. Hegg, 1850 West Madi-
son street, under date of Dec. g,
1907, writes as follows:
ri suffered three years with
Weeping Eczma. It started with
little spot on my knees and
spread fast over my whole body.
I spent hundreds of dollars and
went to every good doctor heard
of, Tut kept getting worse. Moth
ing would stop the awful itch and
burning.
II had to stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle of
July. Then l tried D. D. D.
Prescription. This is the 9th Of
December and I am entirely free
from the terrible disease. D. D.
u. saved my life,
"When I began this treatment,
people were afraid of me I looked
so terrible. My husband was the
only one who would take care of
me. D. D. D. stopped the itch at
once, so I could sleep, which |
had not done before. Then l
began to get better fast and now
my skin is clear and white, not a
spot anywhere.
Just few drops applied to the
skin brings relief-nothing to
swallow or drink. We vouch for
D. D. D. Prescription, also the
cleansing D. D. D. soap. Bark

if you have any skin disease.
Begin YOUR cure at once.

You are the more vicious canine of

Well look you up, when we get a

little doubt but that you are a
mongrel, with streak of yellow
involving your whole carcass.

BOYS HOLD UP TRAIN.

Rob Passengers on Great Northern in
Montana.
Great Falls, Mont, June "A north,
bound Great Northern passenger train
was held up near here by three boys,
aged from fifteen 70 seventeen, who
are under arrest.
The train was run onto siding by
the bandits, who fired a fusillade up
and down the train. William Demp-
sey, an Augusta rancher, was shot
through the leg in attempting to es-
cape from the train. after it had
stopped. ~-...
Conductor Hayes was compelled by
the robbers to precede them in pass
ing through the cars, Carrying
in which the passengers We're invited
to dump what cash they had about
them.
Most of them deposited from 81 to
$40 and the booty of the desperadoes
is not believed to be greater than sew
eral hundred dollars.
The robbers finally jumped off the
coaches and disappeared in the dark
ness, but were captured later and
three of them now occupy cells in the
city jail. A fourth youth, who admits
having assisted in planning the holdup
but took no active part, is also a pris-
oner. The quartette have made a
complete confession to the police.

whose custody he is held. The prin-
cipal point involved was whether
Pierce Is really charged with crime
and Justice Moody said:
This court has said that an indict-
ment in order to constitute stuff cient
charge of crime to warrant Interstate
extradition need show no more than
that the accused was substantially
charged with crime. This indictment
meets and surpasses that standard
and is enough. If more were required
it would impose upon courts in the
trial Of writs of habeas corpus the
duty of critical examination of the
laws Of the state, with whose jurispru-
dence and criminal procedure they
can have only federal acquaintance.
Such a duty would be an intolerable
burden, certain to lead to errors, irri-
table to the just pride of the state and
fruitful Of misearriages of Justice.
The duty ought not to be assumed un-
1ess it Is plainly required by the Con-
stitution and, IN our opinion, there is
nothing in the letter or the spirit OF
that instrument which requires or. per-
mits it's performance"

Wagner Of South Dakota Among the
Names Announced.
Washington, ~ June 2.-President
Roosevelt has announced the follow
ing recess appointments:
Oscar R. Hundley, to be United
States district Judge for the Northern
district of Alabama; John r. Safer, to
be United States district judge for the
Southern district of Ohio, and Edward
ID. Wagner, to be United States attor-
ney for the district of South Dakota.
These appointments were among
fifty nominations not confirmed by the
senate at the session just closed.
Among other nominations not con-
firmed by the senate were those of
forty-two postmasters and the follow
ing:
z. Lewis Daily, Indian inspector;
Newton Dwight Purdy, United States
district judge for the district of Min
nesota; Nathan H. Alexander, register
Of the general land office at Montgom-
cry, Ala.
The nomination of Mr.. Purdy was
doomed to fail for confirmation in the
senate from the day it was made. Mr..
Purdy was nominated by the president
without consulting the Minnesota SEN
ators, to whom he was not especially
obnoxious, but they considered that
they had right to be consulted.

when man has money he can be &C.
quilted on whatever charge may be
placed against him or freed from the
responsibility of whatever crime he
may have committed That this is not
true was proven in this case I al
ways thought that the verdict of the
jury was just and that was the pre-
yailing opinion in New York after the
verdict was returned. Do I think the
testimony in the Thaw case was de-
moralizing to the community at large?
No, do not think so. The newspa-
pers toned down the evidence consid-
erably. Such tragedies often teach a
great moral lesson"

AUTO RACER MEETS DEATH
Car Turns SomersauIt While Going a
Mile Minute.

Baltimore, June death, sudden
and horrifying, claimed Emanuel L..
Cedrino, until few years ago chauf-
feur to Queen Helena of Italy. He
was instantly killed on Pimlico track,
where he had been preparing for races
in which he was to have taken part.
Cedrino was making some very fast
miles. One had just been finished in
t1fty-one seconds and he had passed
the grandstand and rounded the first
corner of the track when spectators
saw his car shoot into the air and turn
regular somersault, landing on the
track upside down.
Those who rushed to the spot found
Cedrino stretched upon his back, dead,
with horrible cash in the back of his
head and portions of his brains scat
tered about. He was some distance
from the car, from which, apparently,
he had been thrown as it went over,
and it is. supposed that his head
struck the fence.

STEAMSHIP LINES PROTEST
Venezuela Violating International San
itary Regulations.

Washington, June 2-Although state
department officials look upon the
mannor in which President Castro Is
handling the La Guayra plague situa-
ton as plain violation of international
sanitary regulations there is expressed
no intention on the part of this gov
eminent to make any move towards
interfering in any way. All that can
be done in the way Of protecting
American ports against vessels from
Venezuelan waters is being done and
will continue, according to the depart
ment. This explanation was given as
the result of the reported movement
of American steamship lines to invoke
governmental interference to clear up
the situation at La Guayra, additional
cases of plague having recently ap-
peared there.

BY A VOTE OF 43 TO ~

Currency Bill Passes Senate and Con-
gress Adjourns.
Washington, June 2.-The first ses-
sion of the Sixtieth congress has adj
journed, following the passage of the
compromise currency bill by the SEN
ate.
The senate was extremely quiet dur
ing the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity of remaining in
session for the engrossing and sign
ing of bills.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibus-
ter of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and
Gore against the emergency currency
bill, by the remarkable interpreted
lions of the rules which go far to es-
tablish cloture in a body noteworthy
for the freedom Of debate and by the
final passage of the currency bill
The senate adopted the report of
the conferees of the two houses of
congress on the Aldrich-Vreeland
emergency currency bill by the de.
cisive vote of 43 to % and thus was
tdhSu the ldSC congressional step nee
essary toward the enactment OF emer-
gency currency legislation, the legis-
lation toward which congress has d.
rected its principal effort since it con-
vened last December.
The emergency law is a composite
affair growing out of the differences
between the two houses of congress
and between two different views pre-.
vailing in the financial world. The
leading feature of the Aldrich bill, as
1t passed the senate, providing for
bond secured currency, is retained and
the leading provision of the Vreeland
bill, based upon commercial paper or
other securities, approved and guaran-
teed by an association of not less than
ten national banks, Is also retained.
In other words, there are two systems
under which emergency circulation
can be obtained. The Nelson amend
ment, providing for the payment of in
terest by the banks on government de-
posits, Is also retained.

st. Paul, June 1.-The loss of 200
lives was narrowly averted when chill.
dren rushed pellmell down a church
stairway and jumped through win
doWs in a mad attempt to escape Gre
nation.
The blazing of films used in a Ste
reopticon exhibition at Hope chapel
was responsible for several children
being bruised and scratched when
they tumbled over one another in the
rush for safety.
Forest Morgan had his wrist badly
cut when he jumped through win
dow. Ben Tremble, another lad, was
severely cut by flying glass.
An entertainment was being given
to raise money to give the children an
outing this summer. Suddenly there
was flash of light, and the children,
thinking the building afire, hurried
panic stricken down the aisles. Many
leaped through windows while others
tore down the front steps and fell into
the street.

from the revision committee recon-

ical change of terms is the outgrowth
Of a desire to denote the Office more

while that since the presiding elder
Is today in reality superintendent
that this term should be given him
since his Office is no longer merely
