The House very properly slew the tenn.
perance instruction bill. 1t is the general
feeling among teachers and educators
that there are quite enough subjects to
teach already; that sufficient attention is
now given to hygienic temperance, and
that the provisions o. this bill were too
mandatory and drastic. The cost of text
books to the state would mount up into
the thousands OF dollars, and the hint.
however unfounded, that certain book
concerns were behind the bill served to
complete its undoing.

Our recollection of the trustee exemp-
ton plank in the state platform diners
from that Of the St. Adams Messenger.
The copy Of the resolutions passed abou,
the press table was typewritten, except
one or two additions and erasures in pen
and-ink, and one Of these was the trustee
plank-or our memory fails altogether,
and We noted it particularly at the time.
We drew the conclusion that it was bun
died in late, and that its inclusion fol-
lowed the visit Of the labor representa-
tives to the committee.

we present elsewhere on this page ar
guments FRO and con from the state press
as to the binding force OF party plat
forms. The subject is pretty wen COW
cred both ways and we can add but lit
tie. We may say, however, that we be-
lieye party platforms should clearly de-
fine the party's attitude on the leading
questions or issues OF the bour, ana should
stop there. The chance to build a Mat
form should not be made the cover for
weaving into it lot Of minor things Of
no principal concern to the political par
ties as such; that have never been pre-
scented to it or the public. aud which are
properly subjects TO be left to the law
making body. We believe that party
platforms made up as FIRST described
should be followed. II We were a leaisla-
tor and found anything in our party
platform on which it did not appear that
the party had fairly committed itself, In
the knowledge Of how such platforms are
made up and adopted; and IL We we're
fully convinced that following the plat
form in that particular would be wrong
and injurious to the state, we should let
our oath taken to support sueh measures
only as were right and just take prece
dence to any implied obligation resting
on the party platform. II this is treason
to the party-and we should question
that-it is not treason to the state.

bering over a thousand subscribers
with one of the best equipped weekly
newspaper plants in the state, this
paper desires to make expression, not
only Of it's pride IN, the acheivment

Most all matters have ramifcat,ons

it is in the support of the local paper.

prove our plant, by so doing we could
do still better work. and thus rank
high in the states list of weeklies,
thus Kendrick received reputation
as q strong town and her merchants
as enterprisiug and progressive, while
the liberal use Of "printers ink" to

town the leading trading point Of the

The strength OF the Gazette must
necessarily lay in the support of it's
