ton of effort necessary to defeat the
saloon forces at the poll, and secure the
election of a local option candidate"
What Mead Said.
Governor Mead's letter follows:
I'm replying to your favor of Au-
gust 8, in which you ask me if I will
support and sign a local option bill, if
passed by the legislature, of the char
acter expressed in the statement which
you enclosed I wish to answer. une-
quivocally and without reserve, that I
will.
Il think the following extract taken
from my Bellingham speech defines
my position as clearly as possible:
The republican party is found in
this campaign, as usual, advocating
moral issues and reforms. 1t has de-
clared that local option is a local is
sue That the majority of the people Of
a community or of a locality shall say
whether intoxicating liquors shall be
vended therein or not I am indeed
gratified that the republican state con-
vention saw fit to adopt the plank in
itssentirefy as approved by the repub
Leans of my home county and as was
drafted by my personal and confiden-
tial friends. The principle contained in
the local option plank is a fundamental
principle of our republican form of
government. Tha enforcemnt of
sumptuary laws depends on local SEN
timent and l am satisfied that the
cause of temperance is best served by
an effective local option law. If again
chosen as your chief executive SsNfll
follow the same course pursued by me
in past legislation affecting great pub
lie questions. After the legislature
passes upon the general nature of the,
bill to be enacted, defining the extent
of the territory to be affected by the
Yote, will enlist the cooperation and
support to this measure of friends who
will see that the details are such that
the law as finally approved shall result
in efficient legislation-that the aims
sought will be accomplished. The de-
mand for a more thorough regulation
of the liquor traffic has been rapidly
growing in this country during the
past few years and many of the states

TRUE COURSE OF AFFINITY.

A few months ago a wealthy or
weli-to-do and. in an artistic way,
somewhat talented young man in New
York state sent his wife back to
France, with a mutual understanding
that the separation should be perma-
nent so that he could live with his
affinity" a younger and as appear
ances went more adorable woman. The
wife consented, with outward equa-
nimity, on the theory that she loved
him so much that she preferred his
happiness to her own. Recent develop
ments, however, arouse the suspicion
that she may have been glad to get rid
of him, says the Oregon Journal For
a few days ago he was arrested for
beating his affinity, and while he was
lodged in Jail she left his bed and
board and went back to her mother
or elsewhere,

The female affinity got a beating

coming to her, and which will go far
no doubt, to correct her ideas of the
conjugal relationship. Besides, hea

ideals regarding soul mating. which

to say that this is one of the finest

Twenty-one gorgeous scenes, elaborate

The Rivals.

The name Of Jefferson and the fame
Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's fine OLD
classical comedy "The Rivals" are in
separately linked together. William w
internationally famous as Bob Acres
is warmer hearted and more Charm
ingly vain and swaggery than even the
author could wish; and Joseph, as "Sir
Lucius O'Trigger," is repeating the
success his approximations won years
ago when he succeeded the late w. J.
Florence. Their supporting company
includes a metropolitan cast of par
ticular brilliance. The Jeffersons and

Perhaps the only moral worth men

tale of real life is that when a girl

his wife for her, she is likely to get a

sides heart wringings, and no sym

quoted high in the musical comedy
