LIQUOR CONTEST IN ILLINOIS.

Over ] 600 saloons Must Close Their Doors
CHICAGO, April s. The great liquor
contest in Illinois has resulted in a
drawn battle, with the saloons winning
decisvely in most of the larger cities,
but losing in scores of smaller ones,
LOLA saloons being voted out OF exist
ence. The returns as collected by
townships are even more impressive
from the prohibition viewpoint, S2S
townships or more than three fourths
of the total number, being closed to the
saloon. Only by winning in the larger
cities. did the uorinterests save them
selves from complete rout.
Where the ''grog Shop was not an
economic asset in the city government,
the Prohibitionists had the advantage.
Where financial questions worked large
ly, they lost.
The saloons were on the defensive.
Where they won, they have nothing
but what they had before and the losses
were clear losses.
Returns from the 1900 townships OF
the State are incomplete and it is not
possible to state with exactneSs how
many saloons will close their doors 80
days hence as result of Tuesdays bal
loting. The figures available place the
number at over 1000, being for the
most part in towns which had from five
to rs saloons each.

BOOMING Good Roads.
The Post Office Department Cooperating
With State Officials.

The Post Office Department Cooperating
With State Officials.
Since July, 1905, the office OF the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
has been actively cooperating with
State highway officials in the enort
which they are making to secure the
systematic and general improvement.
of the public highways. When Daa
roads were found to exist, patrons OF
rural delivery and local road ofhcials
have been reminded of the require
ments of the department that all roads
traversed by rural carriers must De
maintained in condition to be travelled
with facility and safety at all seasons
of the year, and that unless the repairs
were made it might be found necessary
to withdraw the service from roads al
fected.
The condition of roads over which
rural delivery carriers travel IN tne
New England States is considerably
above the average in the newer States,
and the complaints of bad OF lmpassa,
BILE roads, and resulting interrupted
mail service, are relatively few. Inc
department is also cooperating VIII
the highway officials of the State OF
Maine in their efforts to secure greater
improvement in roads, and good results
are confidently expected.
An examination Of the reports re-
Gently received at the Office OF ASSIST
ant Postmaster General DeGraW from
postmasters at rural delivery ohces
shows that since the introduction OF
rural delivery road conditions through
out the country at large have vastly
improved, and that very large sums OF
money have been expended in the build,
ing and maintenance OF roads required
tc be travelled by rural carriers. In
the State of Maine there are AL rural
carriers. who daily travel 10,363 miles
of roads, only 80 miles OF which are
macadamized. New Hampshire has
215 routes, covering 4, 800 miles OF roads'
81 miles of which are macadamlzed
Vermont has 324 routes, covering 14oz
miles of roads, Y of which are ,nacada
| mized: Massachusetts, 21O routes cover,
! ing 5.445 miles of roads, SS7 miles OF
! which are macadamized, and Connects
cut 257 routes, covering 1886 miles OF
roads. 2Ss miles of which are macada
! mlzed, In other nieghboring States
! Delaware has 1O1 rural carriers, travel
| ling 1928 miles of roads, 26 miles OF
which are macadamiZed, and New Jer
sey 269 rural carriers, travelling 2,26:
miles of roads, 764 miles OF which are
macadamiZed.
1t is further demonstrated that since
the establishment of rural delivery
! farm values have materially Increased
and a good part of these increased val
uations may be directly attributable te
| the introduction of rural delivery. II
the State of New York the increases II
farm values, as shown by the reports
range from one per cent to two nun
dred per cent; in New Jersey from two
per cent to fifty per cent; in Delaware
from five per cent to sixty per cent
and in the New England States from
two per cent to fifty-five per cent.

MARRIAGES IN HEAVEN.

A Boston Clergyman Declares That Persons
Made for Each Other will Meet in Heaven
If They Do Not on Earth.
There is marriage in heaven. That is
the decision of the Rev. c. H. Hay,
assistant pastor of the Church of the
New Jerusalem, Boston, in a recent
lecture on the subject at the church.
'There are,' said Mr.. Hay, two kinds
of marriage, the marriage of the earthly
mind and the marriage of the spiritual
mind. The marriage of the earthly mind
is 10 more than that of the beasts of the
field. Now human marriage should be
more than that. And yet the Jews did
not seem to see any more IN marriage
than this. The Roman Catholic church
has taught celibacy as holy. 1t has not
risen to its full dignity and realized that
marriage for man is something more
than the marriage of the earthly mind,
a union like that of the beasts OF the
fields. The Protestant church has done
little better, for it still considers mar
rage not heavenly, but for this world
only.
s'For in the Resurrection they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, meant
that the sort of marriage that the Jews
are thinking of does not exist in heaven.
1t must exist on earth as servant TO
the other sort of loving, but i'll heaven
there will be only the marriage of the
heavenly mind.
There are everywhere two persons
made for each other, and if not on
earth then in heaven they will meet.
When death puts asunder improper
marriage then the marriage of the spir-
itual world goes on. The regenerated
wife knows her own proper husband
without the shadow of doubt and
makes herself known TO him."
When asked what it would be right
to do if a man or woman found that
their marriage was merely the marriage
Of the world and that some other person
WAS his divine mate, Mr.. Hay replied to
the old, old affinity question: "You have
no right to judge that the other person
is the divineiy intended one. You have
made one mistake and you may make
another"
Marriages for persons who were not
married on earth, according to MI.
Hay, are possible in that whether one
is married or not he will find his mate
eventually in heaven. Also, strangely
enough, in hell, for he says: The III
most OF heaven is marriage. And the
Utmost of hell Only the marriage OF
heaven is the marriage of the spiritual
mind and the marriage of hell that OF
self love"
Mr.. Hay developed the origin of the
marriage love from the marriage OF
wisdom of love in Gods mind, and its
psychical origin in the vibrations pro-
ceeding from the two parts OF the
brain, the cerebrum and the cerebel-
lum; the one the organ of the under
standing, the other of the will.

LIQUOR ADVERTISING IN THE MAILS

The Churches Protest Against it.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the congregation assembled in
the First NJ. E. church, Searsmont, Sun
day, March /, 1908:
Whereas, Liquor dealers in Massa-

ally sending into Maine their circulars

ums of liquors, thus expanding thou,
sands of dollars, with the assurance
that it will be repaid many times; there.
fore, be it
Resolved, That as Christians, home
lovers and patriots, we protest against
such use of the mails, which overbur-
den the carrier service, insult every
decent recipient, tempt the Ignorant
and weak, and pander to the vicious;
drain from our State the money which
should be spent for home comforts and
in legitimate trade, degrade and disease
the people, throwing a heavy burden
upon taxpayers, and discredit the hon.
est intention of the State.
Resolved, That the people should be,
by national law, protected from such
assaults, as they are from lotteries; and
we believe the time has come when the
Congress of the United States should
be appealed to for law forbidding the
use of the mails to all liquor advertls-
ing, and leaving the pernicious traffic
to be dealt with minus the aid of paid
press and government distribution OF
its advertisements.
Resolved, That, praying Gods bless;
ing on the right, we will send copy OF
these resolutions to each of our Con
gressmen and to our county paper; we
appeal to our churches, to teachers OF
good morals, to fraternal organizations,
to all lovers of humanity and to all
good citizens to support this measure,
giving it the aid of their voices, thell
pens, their prayers, their votes.
The above resolutions also were
adopted by the congregation assembled

No G. 0. D. Liquor Shipments.

WASHINGTON, April s. After ex-
tended hearings by the members of the
Senate Committee on the judiciary
that committee today agreed upon a
bill dealing with the shipments of Ii
quors from one State or territory to
another State or territory. The meas
ure will be reported by Senator Knox,
who was chairman OF the sub-commit-
tee which conducted the hearings. 1t
is comparatively simple in form, provi-
ding that there shall be no collect on
delivery" packages of liquor shipped in
insterstate commerce, where fictitious
names are used, and that the name of
the consignor and consignee shall be
stated plainly. The provision is de-
signed to eliminate the practice of rail-
road and express agents acting as
agents for liquor houses.

A HEN cONUNDRUM.

The National House of Representa-
tives was treated to some real humor
recently when Representative Olmsted
of Pennsylvania poked Jun at the
bureau of animal industry Of the agri-
cultural department.. An approprla-
ton to estimate the evaporation OF the
Great Salt Lake was under consldera-
ton, and Mr.. Olmsted brought the
House up to the problem OF what 1t
cost to keep hen year.
s'The latest cOnundrum prOpOunded
to me by an intelligent lady stated that
she understood the government made
numerous publications upon all sub
jects. and that as member Of Con-
gress must be familiar with their con-
tents, and therefore she desired me to
answer this question: what does 1t
cost 10 keep hen a year,
"Mr. Chairman, we are upon the sub
iect of animal industry. What animal
is more industrious than a hen? Whose
activity is more useful to the human
race? The nightingale, the lark and
the linnet have all had their praises
told in story and in song, but the hen,
more valuable to the human race than
all other birds, is compelled to sing her
own lay. My constituent went further
into detail, and said that if there was a
difference, depending upon the different
breeds of hens, she would. like to know
the cost of keeping hens OF different
breeds, / wish to submit to the dis
tinguished chairman of the committee
on agriculture, in charge of this bill
and ex-officiO custodian OF all lnfOrma.
ton relating to such subjects, if he Will
inform me, the House and the country,
what answer ought to be made to that
question of such vast significance.
