Prohibition in North Dakota.
BY JUDGE CHAS. A. PALLOCK.
In order to more intelligently
answer questions in regard to
the prohibition law in N. D., Il
wrote to several prominent gen
tlemen in the state. Maj. A. w.
Edwards, editor of the Fargo
Forum one of the leading papers
of the state, said: THE build
ings made empty by the abolish
ment of the saloon have been
turned into emporiums of trade,
a credit to the city and to the
people"
When the prohibition question
was raised Maj. Edwards was
opposed to it, but after seeing
it's workings in the state, as a
member of the legislation, he
did all he could to keep to the
law upon the statute books and
has been consistent supporter
Of the same ever since.
WANTED-Boys for the sa-
loon. If boys are not found to
patronize the saloon the business
must close. Whose boy shall be
a saloon bum in a few years?
Every citizen who votes for the
saloon, ought in all fairness be
willing to help furnish material
to help run it. 1t means ruin to
both soul and body, but the sa-
loon is in the running business
and pays the voter a nice little
revenue for the privilege.

tervals, the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute laid all arguments aside this afternoon and took votes on the several questions of business before them. perhaps the most important of which was the prop osition of raising the salaries of the full professors
 The problem of increasing the sala- ries was apparently a difiicuit one as it is said that the discussion of this question consumed the majority of the time of the Board during the two days. The scale of Increase plan, as was pre- dicted by The Advertiser yesterday. was adopted by the Board. This means that the occupants of the chairs of full professorships who have been continu- ously in the service of the college for fifteen years will get an increase of $500 per annum in their salaries. The salary of the full professors who have served for ten years will get an in- crease of s200. Those serving for i've years are to get an increase of 3l00,
 Those who are newly elected to their chairs are to receive an initial salary of $2.0o0. The increases are to % into erect at the beginning of the next
 While the meetings of the Board were executive. there is rumor that governor Conner exerted every effort at ms command in opposition to any plan ol increase of the professors salaries. whether he was ever reccnciled or not cannot be learned. He is said to have vigorously resisted all propositions of increasing the pay for instruction. The l
