"23--S

Superstition in the Senate? Read
this story of "23.
Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island
occupied seat No. % on the Republic
can side. After a long and bitter con
test in which he was opposed by two
Republicans, the Legislature of his
state on the twentythird' day Of the
month gave up the effort TO elect and
adjourned. leaving n vacancy and Wet
more out Of the senate.
The new legislature tried it again
this winter and Wetmore was chosen
to succeed himself. He was elected i'll
time to be sworn in on January %, but
respectfully declined and waited sew
eral days.
His resumption of his seat gave the
senate a full membership-92 senators,
the largest i'll its history, Oklahoma
having meanwhile entered the union.
Now, it is a t~radition-not a super
%stition, of course, of the senate that
whenever that body has a full mem
bership, which doesn't often happen
and never continues long. there will
presently be a senatorial dea>.-. This
has been the experience 50 many
times that the exceptions are forgot
ten. SO when Wetmore cam in the
probability of a death was whispered
about. T~wenty-three days elapsed be
tween the day of Wetmore's resump-
ton of his seat and the day Senator
Latimer of South Carolina died.
Senator Wetmore, by reason of be-
ing out of the senate for some months,
had the luck to lose seat %. That seat
was drawn by Senator Kittredge of
South Dakota. who would now be oc-
cupying it but for the fact that he is
STAYING at home to look after his in
terests in Il desperate campaign for
of the next Legislature. 10Y
Crawford wants the senator's seat and
the % story has done a good deal to
convince senators that K~ittredge's
days of craftsmanship are numbered.
Reports from South Dakota tend to
confirm the impression that the 23
hoOdoo has fixed its eye on kittredge.

you out of trouble. He has a heart in
him as big as an OK, and when he finds
YOU are honest and deserving, he will

CAUSES OF THE ANTI-SAlOON
MOVEMENT

The present temperance upheaval
Is the revolt of the American con
science against what it considers &c
be wrong. The American saloon can
blame itself largely for the present
opposition to it: it is essentially bad.
Aside from the inherent danger of the
business under the wisest possible re-
straints, the liquor-dealers Of the ma
ton have set themselves to do their
very worst to provoke alarm. h
saloons are the breeding place of all
kinds of vice and crime. In them the
thieves, the murderers, ballot box
suffers, grafters, purchasers of law,
and the %debauched find their educa-
ton and protection; and from them
the lawless herdes go forth to prey
upon society. me only wonder is
that the people have stood this men
ace to our civilization as long as they
have.
While it is not universally so. it is
wv ott'u tlt 'hSt tntA ~ SstiooiI IoSN
ers and promotes the social evil. me
public sentiment is greatly outraged
at the intimate relationship between
the saloon and the disorderly house.
The public is very angry because SO
many drinking places are gambling
bells.
Another thing that has stirred the
public against the liquor traffic has
been the relationship between the
politician and the saloon. No feature
of American public life is so abomin-
able and discouraging as this open and
notorious c~opartnership of the liquor
traffic with politicians of all parties in
the business of crime. 1t is an
astounding fac that most of the great
cities of the country are ruled by
rum. and have been for a generation
or more. Every privilege for every
kind Of crime is bought and sold for
money. Fabulous corruption- funds
and thousands of the criminal classes

HE MAY LOOK BAD
But Your Banker is Not as Bad as
He Looks

A reader Of many newspapers comes
in contact with many ideas-queer,
odd, funny, palmetto. But here is
something entirely new, a tribute to
bankers, from the Howard Democrat:
blooded proposition at times. He may
seem to be all interest, discount and
exchange. You may get the notion
that he is Shylock and would grind
you for your last cent. Such Is not the

NO ~APPLE-NO CORE

In Lake county the progressive Re-
publicans having carried the election
two years ago by a large majority, but
i'll order to save the county expense
and rather than hold a primary cleo
ton, offered to give the reactionists
five of the thirteen delegates to the
state convention, but the Kittredge
supporters wanted the whole apple,
core and all. The Leader is quoted
as follows:
Result: The primary elections
were held. The voters in the county
precinct beat the stalwarts to a
standstill. The progressive farmer
delegates came in from the country
and organized the county convention
by a majority of two to one. They
elected thirteen progressive delegates
to the state convention. They endors-
ed Gov. Coe /. Crawford for the Unit
ed States senate to succeed Kittredge.
They left the minority stalwart dele
gates sitting in their seats with their
mouths open, wondering what had
happened. In addition. the county
precinct delegates, at the close of the
convention organized a rousing Roose-
velt-Crawford-Ta club for the pur-
pose of better working for the success
of the ~progressives at the June pri-
maries.'

The Brookings Register claims that
the new Grange at Brookings is the
first one in this state. If we are not
mistaken there was one at Milbank,

which Hon. y. /. LOwthian and and
Col. A. b. Smedley were prominent.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK
A Public School Teacher Introduces
New Study

A New Jersey school teacher, anX
ious for the welfare of her pupils, q
few years ago introduced in her school
the school banking system 1t con
sisted in opening a savings bank on
true business principles, in which the
pupils were encouraged to invest their
pennies. All teachers know that a
great share Of the danger to the young
comes from being furnished with
spending money which goes indirectly
for cigarettes, stomach-spoiling candy
the worst sort of reading matter, OF
for useless trinkets and ornaments
Her plan was to create habits OF say
ing and economy which will wonder
fully effect their whole life, and as
reward for her interest the pupils re
sponded with an avidity which showed
very plainly that she had not planned
in vain. Her plan was adopted by q
school in Long Island city. and in one
week the savings deposit amounted &c
$3.50, and in the three years since thf
plan vas adopted the total in bank
in this school amounts to over $lO,Ooo
The benefit to the pupils from the
habits thus formed have more than 4
money value, and a only be estlmat
ed when the boys and girls leave the
%sheltering walls of the school-roon
and take an active part in the worlds
great school.

EQUAL

As a rule candidates are chary OF
expressing themselves an all queS
tionS on which they are not pretty
certain of the attitude of the public
mind. This applies all the way ~
from Constable to President with here
and there a notable and refreshing eX-
case of the woman suffrage question
is Governor Johnson. of Minnesota.
At the hearing on this question, held
the other day by the National Woman
Suffrage Association before Congress
siOnal Committee in Washington, a
letter from the Governor was read
part of which is as follows: II have
repeatedly in public and in private
declared my belief in equal suffrage.
Nothing that | could say at this time
could emphasize my position. Ger
tainly | think there can be little room
for argument that the woman Of the
United States with their broad cul-
ture and strong ~sympathies are en-
titled to every suffrage hal the men
of the country now enjoy. | have not
hesitated to commit myself to this
policy and if this renewed expression
can be of any value TO your a~ssocia-
ton, | am sure you are indeed vel
come to it,"
