TRIED FOR SEND-
 ING A CIRCULAR
To Perry County, Soliciting The Whiskey Trade In
 That County.

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-At Per ryville, Judge K. w. Winfield presided over a case several days ago, which was to test the valad- ity of the Lee bill prohibiting the soliciting of trade by whiskey dealers in prohibition counties, which resulted in a decision sus- taining the bill. Julius Finn, a liquor dealer of Little Rock, was indicted by the grand jury of Perry county for mailing a cir cular to Capt. J. V. Ryan, at Perry, soliciting an order for the sale of liquor. It is unlawful. under the Lee bill to sell or so- licit trade in Perry county, a dry county. Finn demurred to the indictment and his demurrer was overuled. The case was then tried by jury and verdict of guilty rendered. The defendant filed a motion for the arrest of the judgment, which being over- uled, he filed a motion for a new trial, which was refused, and then prayed an appeal to the Supreme court which was grant ed. The transcript will be filed there in a few days and the case will be heard by the higher court in October. The prosecution was under the Lee bill passed in 1907. Zinn defended the case on the ground that Congress alone has the power to say what shall be carried through the mails.
 and the legislature of this state cannot make it an offense to send a circular through the mail.

WHICH WILL YOU PROTECT?

On a large poster we see the picture of saloon and a bright, chubby faced boy, with the ques- ton, Which will you protect?' The blood in our veins used to run almost cold as we would look upon our own precious boys and realize the danger that threaten ed them every step of the way by the bounding of the liquor traffic. Not much less did we dread the tobacco habit for them.
 Now. again as we gaze in more mature and thoughtful love on our grandchildren our heart is opened afresh with solicitude for the paths to be made safe for their thoughtless little feet.
 And again we turn to the vot- CTS of our blessed commonwealth and ask in heart-breaking agony,
 which will you protect the Say loon or the boy?" And we are not more solicitous than thous- ands of other mothers. Let us depend on you to so safe guard the welfare of the children that when they grow up they will not have expend their energies fight ing this evil, but that they may be enabled to spend this time in acquiring those traits of charac- ter that will make them fit to en- joy all the beauties of this world.
 Instead of their having to pour their treasure of heard and gold in a battle for righteousness, let it be spent in research for the hidden treasures of nature and of God that they may live on a higher plane than their prede- cessors. It is our duty to take care of our own. The little state of Maine takes care of her chil- dren instead of saloons. Of the 300, 900 child laborers in the US. she has only 400, when her pro- portion is 35, GOO. And she would do better still, if she didn't have to keep up che battle of prohibi- tion to save her citizens from invaders. If we can just get our interstate commerce law passed protecting prohibition ter ritory Maine can turn all that money and effort thus expended toward the still better protection of her childhood.
 Maine is the only state that has more savings banks depositors than voters, and Maine has had prohibition nearly 60 years.
 Hurran for prohibition!

McLendon filed a suit against the Iron Mountain railroad. asking a judgment for $25, 900 as damages for the death of eis boy, who was but 20 years old at the time of his death. Ac- cordirg to the complaint, young McLendon was working on a con- struction train, in the employ of the defendant company. at a camp near Donaldson April 9th, which was operating a blow. The plaintiff alleges that the blow struck a stump when the train was pulling it rapidly forward, the stump being thrown against young McLendon with such force as to mangle a leg and amputa- tion became necessary. the young man dying a few hours iater.

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 22.-The Chi

For the past twenty odd years the
company has been under contract With
the Western Union Telegraph COM

lines of that road. The contracts With
the two corporations expire on Decem-
Der 81, and 1t is now said that no new
agreement will be entered into, but
that the railroad company will assume
active management of the commercial
business handled over it's lines.
This practice will be in line With
other roads throughout the country
and In every case the departure has
proven a paying one
