johnson Well in the Clear,

Minot Optic: C. A. Johnson, Repub-
lican nominee for governor seems to
have John Burke on the run. The
Democratic governor is rushing into
print, taking two columns in the Far
so Forum, explaining his attitude on
the prohibition question There is no
need of explanation on the part OF
Mr. Johnson. In the legislature Mr..
Johnson voted in all instances against
resabmission of the prohibition aues-
ton, while the Optic is well inform
ed that Governor Burke's; attitude In
the past has been in favor OF resub-
mission. Mr.. Johnson's position on
the liquor question has always been
open and above board and he is will
ling to stand squarely on his record.
\ But there is no particular surprise
in the attempt Of Governor Burke to
square himself. The Democratic gov
ernor has reason to be frightened.
The Republicans OF North Dakota
We're never more harmonious on the
question of supporting nominee than
they are on the candidacy of c. A.
Johnson Of Minot. Johnson is man
upon whom the people Of North Da-
kota can depend and in whom they.
have confidence. The magnificent
vote he received throughout the state
in stalwart and insurgent stronghoIds
shows that he is not the candidate Of
any faction. but Of the entire Repub-
lican party. His election is assured.

POLITICAL COMMENT
Pfshibition and Democracy

Jamestown Alert: It is rather
amusing. to see the Democratic candi-
dates for office, headed by Governor
Burke, trying to corral the Prohibit
ton vote of North Dakota. If there
was a political principle that the
Democrats have stood steadfastly by
both as a party and as leaders, it
has been the opposition to prohibit
ton. But this season any opportunity
to gather votes, either few or many,
is not neglected by the Democratic
managers. If there is anything you
don't see in their program ask for
it., and it will be promised unto you.
The prohibition law has been made.
possible, and its enforcement, in most
localities, reasonably well secured,
not by Democratic influence or Off
Gals, but through Republican pledges
carried out by Republican officials.
In every attack made in the legisla-
ture made on prohibition, Republican
members have rallied to, it's defense
in sufficient numbers to, always re
deem the pledges. Of the party plat
form. It may be true that in some
districts where the prohibition senti-
ment, is not strong members have
been elected to the legislature by the
anti--prohibition vote, and such mem
bers may have voted as their consti.
tuents demanded of them. But there
never was enough of such votes to
permit a .resubmission of the prohi-
bition question, to the. voters of the
Estate, let alone any other more radi.
cal OF, effective opposition. The pro
hibition advocates in North Dakota
have no reason to desert the Repub.
ican candidates on the prohibition
question, for had it not been for the
Republican organization the Demo
Gratis would have long since succeeded
in knocking the prohibition law in
North Dakota higher than Gilderoy's
kite. =aa

Native of India Interests Woman's Union
SOCintv

/ In beautifully spoken, and pre-
else English, Miss Roderick, Of India,
q native mission workers, stood be.
I fore gathering of the Woman's
Union Missionary Society, in Phila-
delphia last month and told them
about mission work among the wo-
men of the Zenanas of India. The
meeting was the occasion of the forty
seventh anniversary of the society,
and was held in the hall of the build
ing at No. 1916 Chestnut street.
The address of the day was deliver
ed by Rev. Marcus A. Brownson.
Miss S. d. Doremus, general cores
ponding secretary from New York,
gave short talk upon work in China,
and the developement of a fund
which had resulted in the establish
ment of hospital with all suitable
aud necessary buildings and equip
ments.
The talk on the Zenanas by Miss
Roderick was most interesting as she
spoke of the customs of the country
and told of the difficulty with which
Christian education had gradually
been introduced into the homes of
high caste Hindus. Workers go out
from the established missions and
make their way among the Zenanas.
Here they teach reading, writing,
even fancy work, in order to awaken
attention and gain the means of teach
ing Christianity. Others so daily
and collect the children from the
Zenanas, taking them into sort OF
kindergarten, where the simplest pos
sible translations of the Bible are
given them to learn.
Miss Roderick was dressed i'll ma
tive costume, which was picturesque
aud garish in the extreme, and in
cluded red satin waist, turquoise
blue veil, worn over the head and
shoulders, and headdress of gold
bangles, which dangled across her jet
black hair upon her forehead.
The Lambertvile Branch of the
Woman's Union Missionary Society
is supporting three girls and giving
them Christian education.
One of them, Shantoshilo, Is now
in the Teachers Training School at
Ca lcutta, India. She continues to be
a steady, Trustworthy girl, and prom
ises to make a good worker.
The collectors for this fund will
make their annual calls very soon.

A freight car was derailed at the
railroad station here on Saturday
morning. While assisting in replac-
ing it Nathaniel Agin had his right
foot badly hurt.
The Rev. George W. Tomson, pas
tor OF the Woodbury., N. j., Presby
terrain Church, committed suicide on
Friday by shooting himself. Mr..
Tomson was a native of Hunterdon
county, being born at Milford, where
he has brother living at the present
time. He has many relatives living
in this county and was we'll and prom
inently known in Presbyterian circles.
He had just announced his engage
ment to a wealthy widow, and anoth-
err lady IN his congregation mad OPEN
ly denounced him and exhibited
handsome presents, which he had
given her. The shock of exposure of
his duplicity was evidently too great
| and he committed suicide.
Rural roads in New Jersey gener-
ally lack a feature OF interest that is
conspicuous in rural sections in Eur
opean countries, and that is regular
rows of shade trees. Now that auto
| MODELLING is in general vogue this de-
feet in New Jersey scenery is remark
ed and critic ised. Besides adding
beauty to the landscape, the trees af-
| ford grateful shade to the wayfarer,
making driving attractive to visitors,
and provide an important addition to
the States's forestry. In France on
many roads fruit trees are planted.
and the sale of the product provides a
good income for use in forestry work
| There are sections OF New Jersey
where that plan could be adopted
with good results.
The total income for the State from
automobile registration and fines last
year was S90,054 .87. Governor Fort
believes that the total income from
this source ought to be quarter Of 4
million dollars annually, all of this
amount to be devoted to the repair Of
the roads built by State aid. The
annual cost Of repairs is a heavy one
and devolyes upon the localities. Il
probably exceeds quarter OF mil
lion dollars IN the aggregate. The
Governor declares that tax to yield
the amount named would not be 6
heavy one, while it is reasonable thai
the machines that make the most wea
and tear Of roads should pay the dam
age.
