Under the caption, prohibition
and Progress" The Chautauquan
Daily gives generous space to Mrs
Stevens address on "The Two Oars
of the Temperance Reform, total
abstinence and prohibition. We quote
briefly:
"It Is fitting that the work and
principles of the w. c.. T. U. should
have recognition upon the program OF
Chautauqua Assembly, for 1t was
here three decades and four years
ago that a meeting was held which
led to the organization of the Ma.
tional w. @. 7. U. Probably there
is no one present who does not know
the story of the origin, progress and
to some extent the achievements OF
this society. God gave to 1t great
leader. All the springs of Frances
Wizards life turned Godward; she
inspired, she achieved, she saw God
even while she walked here upon
the earth, because she was pure In
heart. Through Miss Willard's "Do
Everything" policy the w. G. T.
U. has been led out In forty de-
partments of work, all based upon
the great principles OF total abstin-
ence and prohibition, the two oars OF
the temperance reform. In order that
the temperance craft go steadily
successfully forward both OF these
propelling forces are necessary.
After recounting the marvellous
growth of prohibition sentiment and
its attendant legislative victories
Mrs. Stevens said:
"I.ast year at our National w. c.
T u. Convention in Nashville. Tenn
| dared to prophesy that inside OF five
years we would have a solid prohi-
bition South; with increased conf
dence, reiterate that prophecy
The South is teaching today to the
North a more meaningful lesson than
the North ever taught the South;
for the bondage of the liquor. habit
is far worse than the slavery OF the
black man ever was, terrible, as tha
indeed was. Some people telf--u
| that this is but a wave that " appI
to recede But l say It Ia not, Thtl
wave Is hedged in by a rugged rocF
of holy, public sentiment"
Mrs. Stevens closed with the a.
! sertion that the spirit which insplred
the women OF the Crusade. when they
knelt on the pitiless streets, Ia th'
same as that which upholds and sup.
ports the w. C. T. U. today. The
Crusade fire will never cease to burn
the Crusade spirit will never die out
as long as there exists anywhere th'
legalized manufacture and sale o.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-One of the chief
surprises of the primaries developed
last night when it was discovered that
j. McCan Davis. veteran newspaper
correspondent of Springfield, had de-
feated Christopher Manner for supreme
court clerk by 636 votes. Final re-
turns are at hand from every county
excepting Henry. A revision of the
vote is likely to increase Davis show

ard Oil Case
70 COLLECT THAT BIG FINE
If Petition Is Denied Government
Will at Once Appeal to the
U. S. Supreme Court.

Washington, Aug. 15.-,District At
torney Sims of Chicago will file in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals in few days a petition for
rehearing of the famous Standard Oil
case with its S29,G00.000 fine.
Mr.. Sims has prepared the petition,
which makes about 40 typewriter
pages. Copies of it have been re-
ceived at the department of justice
and have been forwarded TO the at.
torney general and also to Solicitor
examined the petition they viii re-
turn it with such changes as they
have 10 suggest, and Mr.. Sims will
then file the papers.
Takes Up All Points.
The petition is exhaustive. 1t takes
up all the points at issue which the
circuit court of appeals disposed of adj
versely to the government, and by ar
gument points out wherein the court
erred from the viewpoint of the gov
ernment. Much stress is Laid upon
The question of judicial discretion
which may be considered the principal
one involved. The government strong.
ly contends that Judge I.andis did not
exceed his discretion in assessing the
maximum he imposed. Cases are
cited in support of the position which
