The fact that in the State of Michi-

bers hardwood lumber against

the growing Importance of the hard

SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS.
The Michigan State Grange on tho
Temperance Question and Rural

Temperance Question and Rural
Education.
| At a recent meeting Of the Michigan
state grange resolutions were adopted
declaring for a prohibitory clause in
the new state constitution and recon-
mended a committee of three members
of the Order to present the matter to
the constitutional convention. Then
should the attempt to secure a prohib-
tory clause fail the grange favored
prohibition in all towns of 500 inhabit-
ants and under and forbiddance of
liquor selling near an institution of
learning, and more stringent laws on
the sale of liquor in drug stores were
demanded. This temperance question
Is one which the grange should handle
carefully. but should not be afraid of.
The grange is strictly a temperance Or
ganization, although no pledge of tenn
perance is required. and yet temper
Rnce may be so involved with political
questions as to greatly affect the in
fiuence of the grange in some locali-
ties; hence we say wisdom Is neces-
sary in handling the subject Two 9TH
er resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we favor a plan by
which the boys shall be interested in the
experimental growing of grains and vege-
tables and the girls in some branch of
domestic science the work to be under
the general supervision of the county
commissioner of schools and the results
to be exhibited in competition for prizes
at the regular two day farmers insti-
tutes where a section shall be set aside
for the boys with their fathers and the
girls with their mothers In asking it's
adoption the committee further recon-
agricultural exhibits in their respective
seasons.
Resolved, That the legislative committee
Of the state grange be instructed to ask
the legislature to enact a law providing
that any person who shall sell or give
away any intoxicating liquor on the
grounds or premises of any agricultural
society shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor and, on conviction thereof in
any court of competent Jurisdiction, shall
be fined not more than $500 nor less than
800 or by Imprisonment for not more
than one year or less than three months
or by both fine and Imprisonment in the
discretion of the court. Provided. also
that any agricultural society which sane
tons such sale shall thereby forfeit all
claims to any appropriation from the
state treasury.

But Bernard was not in the run

answered.

With gentle force he drew her

her head.
Look at me, Joan!' he said again,
and slowly she raised her eyes.
I will tell you why you wrought

She rose from the bench.

THE GREAT AUGUST STORM.

The great August storm that set in
last Sunday, coming from the Gulf,
advanced slowly northward, and at this
writing rain is still falling. The floods
in the South are unequalled since 1910,
and immense damage is done not only
to crops but to property. In North and
South Carolina mills have been washed
away, with the loss of at least 40 lives.
and the damage to bridges, railroads
and other property is immense. In some
places streams are reported higher than
for 60 years. The floods made it i'm
possible to get to the polls, Tuesday and
the vote in South Carolina was very light.
Hundreds of cattle have been drowned
and 1T is probable that the reports of
loss of life may be increased later.
Here in Virginia the rain, while
steady, has not so far created floods,
but the interference with public meet
ings, camps, etc., has been sadly dis
appointing. The temperature is unsea-
sonably low, the thermometer this
CThursday) morning falling to 60. The
indications are that the rain may run
into Friday or even Saturday of this
week.

SULTAN ROUTED BY BROTHER.

The defeat of Sultan Abd-El-
Aziz by the forces of his brother,
Mulai Hafid, has been confirmed. The
Sultan was surprised on the night of
August 10th, and most of his troops
deserted to the side of the ursurpiny
r'Tler after the firing of few shots.
The defeat Of ADD El-Aziz was due
largely to the betrayal of his own
tribesmen. Mulai Hafid has been pro-
claimed Sultan of Morocco at Tangier,
and announcement of the proclamation
has been telegraphed to all parts of
the country. All the officials who pre-
viously have been under the rule ADD
Ei-Aziz declare that they have accept
ed Mulai Hafid as their leader, thereby
making him supreme in all the large
cities of Morocco.
Details of the battle show that Add
El-Aziz had an army numerically the
superior to the enemy, but that his ar
tiiiery either failed to work, or was de-
hberately tempered with. Some of the
guns exploded, throwing the tribesmen
into a panic. The vast majority of
them seized the opportunity to flee dur
ing the engagement, and general pill
lage broke out, many of the tribes
seeking to carry off as much booty as
possible. Abd-ElAziz and his escort
retreated in an orderly manner to Set
tat, his army being pursued by the
victorious troops of Mulai Hafid. Add
El-Aziz was accompanied in his fight
by the grand vizier. the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the French military
mission, and two British officers. The
British officers and several French Off
GERS are missing.

THEPOINT OF VIEW.

Remarkable and indeed extra
ordinary are the varied reports
as to the position and senti-
ments of our public men. The
placid Baltimore Sun. having
wheeled into line for Taft. natur-
ally feels that in order to assure
its new-found friends of it's sin
certify, land SO makes up the most
remarkable reports concerning
men and things opposed to its
favorite. For example. we have
a report from the Suns special
correspondent from Lincoln.
Neb., to the effect that Mr.. BRYAN
showed no enthusiasm whatever
over the news that Johnson had
waived his desire for retirement
and had accepted the nominal
ton for governor of Minnesota.
Further this veracious? cores
pondent goes on to say in sub
stance that Bryan has the sulks.
he being bitter with Johnson be-
cause the latter declined to retire
from the contest at Denver, and
SO did not allow-what BRYAN
greatly desired-a nomination
by reclamation. And much
more to the same effect.
The same day we have dis
patches from Lincoln to the
Washington Herald with the
headline: "Johnson's glory de-
lights Bryan, and as the dis
patch reads: "Bryan made no
secret of his pleasure today. He
was smiling all over when the
subject was discussed, and said
that he had sent the governor a
telegram OF congratulation. Ii
was plain from Bryan's attitude
that he expected the Governor
TO make the fight, and intimated
that he looks upon him rs an
almost certain winner
That a newspaper of the Suns
assumed integrity should send
out dispatches evidently "cook-
ed for effect and intended to
damage the democratic candi-
dates campaign prospects seem
passing strange, but the saving
is an old one that perverts are
always more extreme than regu.
lars, and that when a man goes
over to his former enemies-de.
'serts-he is usually much more
vindictive towards the party he
left than the old stagers. How.
ever it is but just to the Sun to
say that it has had very little
democracy for years.

1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it., or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled TO go often

times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-RoOt

whose opinions are respected in their

then stood, and for which still Just as
