day goes by that Mr.. Unger does not
receive letters of inquiry from people
In the extreme East, and Middle
West asking II the advertising is not
overdrawn and whether the advant-
ages and opportunities here are really
as good as they are represented. To
all Of these Mr.. Unger replies in de-
tail, setting forth facts as lie under
stands them. Those who come here
from the Fast and make an iDvestiga-
tion for themselves are ready to ex-
claim with the queen Of Sheba that
the half has not been told and at
once purchase property for home, or
as an investment. The number of in
quiries that have been received dur
ing the last few weeks is greater than
in any corresponding period aud there

be heavier immigration next spring
than ever before. A letter addressed
to Mr. Unger the first OF the current

says that there Is considerable in

and that any advertising matter con-
cerning 1t is eagerly sought by its
citizens. many of whom have the

referred to says that it is probable
that there will be considerable en-
igration from that part of Illinois to
Fremont county in the spring owing
OF the new land development.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
First AnnuaIs Meeting Held Tues
day Evening at the Club
Rooms
Nearly All the Old Officers Re-
Elected. R. L. Morland
President

The first annual meeting of the
commercial Club of this city was
held on Tueaday evening at the club
rooms, for the election of officers.
r. L. Morland was reelected presi-
cent for the ensuing year, and A. T.
Latta and G.. W. Roth were elected
vice presidents. Ned Jones was re-
elected secretary, and Ernest Sterl-
ing was chosen for treasurer. The
directors elected were: Grant Nor
rison, w. G. Ramage, and A. W.
Little for 3 years, and j. Il. James
for one year to succeed G. T. Tupper,
who had moved from the city.
During the first year of the club it
has not surprised anyone by accom-
plishing unexpected wonders, but ii
has taken up and handled a number
of matters of interest to othe city. The
executive committe however have soy
eral matters in hand which may mean
much to Worthington. The club has
done it's work quietly and unostenta-
tiously, but has none the less been
thoroughly alive to the city's interest
There has not been the interest mani
tested in the club by the whole mem
bership there should be, but this has
probably been because the work has
been done by the executive committee
which has not seen fit to take the
members into it's confidence as it
might There should b. modifca-
ton of the committees method in
this respect.
The sumptuous club rooms have
afforded a pleasant place for the
members to meet in a social way, but
this feature has not been taken ad-
vantage of to the degree that should,
and at the last meeting there was
some discussion of the proposition to
give up the present rooms and sock
ing less expensive quarters. 1t is
probable that the subjsct will be TAX
en- up at some meeting in the near
futufe.

felt just like the boys do now. Old
Abraham, the Jewish sage, loved
Sarah still when bent with age; and
then unless someone has lied, he
courted Hagar on the side;,,and Samp-
son, too, fell in the snare and let
Delilah cut his hair. And Solomon!
He was fright! To speak of him is
not polite. And poor Old Job, the
man with biles, was not exempt from
women's wiIes. While Adam, too, [
do believe, was silly when he courted
Eve. And all these men who walked
with God and in the paths of duty
trod, have also strolled beneath the
moon with maidens fair to spoon, and
spoon. And Abraham and Isaac, too,
and Jacob and the Prophets knew
that without Cupid close about, the
Jewish race would soon die out. The
kings and queens both great and
small, the warrj ors, statesmen, schoo.
lars, all have felt the sting of Cupid's S
dart about the region of the heart.
The greatest minds of every age,
whose names are found on history's
page, whose intellects bave lowered
aloft, have been in love and acted
soft! Philosophers OF every time,
who dwelt and walked on heights
sublime, have come down from their
high estate and sought a woman for a
mate. Then I'll not sneer at natures
scheme or try to share in loves young
dream, for nature surely must have
said that men and women should be
| we'd. So here's to Gu pid, let him
work; here's Qisten Teddy to the
stork! -.

Prohibition Impractical

Fond du Lac, Wis.,, Feb. 1l.-Bish-
op Grafton, of Fond du Lac, Wis, in
discussing the temperance movement
in the state said Tuesday:
with us in the North it is different.
Prohibition in the North, to my mind,
is not practical. No law can be en-
forced against the wishes of a large
minority of the people. .
"It is more dangerous, morally
speaking, that the law should be sys-
tematicalIy violated than it is to have
a certain number Of people getting
drunk occasionally. There should
be a low license for the sale of beer
and light wines, and q heavy license
for the sale of spirituous liquors and
heavy wines. .z.:.
81 cannot agree with those who
think that the taking Of wines, ale Q,
beer in moderation is wrong, because
the process of fermentation is one o1
Gods creative acts, and the Divine
Master of the Christian religion
turned the contents Of six water pots
holding 120 gallon, into vine. ...
Ny great sympathy is with the
temperance movement, but mon are
not made BY law, but BY the resist.
.ance of temptation through the aid
Of grace.

simple one that everybody can under
stand. Shall Worthington continue
without saloons, or not2 It's moral
question, pure and simple. And the
effort to mix it up with personalities,
politics and financial discussions, is
just an effort to draw attention from
the real point at issue. Is it right
for community to license the sale of
that which debauches and depraves?
Give your boy square deal. Is 1t
fair to place saloon IN his path in
order to test his power to resist it's
allurements? Think this over.
Every city is entrusted with pro-
lection Of! its youths andss mothers.
And every citizen should be in the
Suppression of business that has
tendency to destroy it's boys and girls.
We are ready to admit that this is
a commercial age, but are we ready
to admit that wa should place our
boys and girls in the power of the
saloon for the sake of commerciaIism?
Certainly not, in this century of high
ideals and splendid civilization.
Because the saloon makes more
non-producers than any one other
business, the state asks to be 1e-im-
bursed in the form of a license tax. Is
it just the thing?
There is to be temperance mass
meeting at the Presbyterian Church
next Sunday evening at half-past
eight o'clock. Good music and good
speaking is being arranged. You and
your friends will be welcome.
Some has figured it as follows:
"From bushel of corn the distiller
gets four gallons of whisky, which re.
tails at $l6.SO. The farmer gets IS
cents for his corn; the government
gets $40; the Transportation company
gets 80 cents. the owners of the whis-
ky factory gets $4.0O; the drayman
gets Is cents; the saloon owner gets
$500; the customer gets drunk; his
wife gets hungry; bis children get rag
.ged; the politician gets ofice.' And
yet they tell US that it pays. Does
it? s~-s = -
A dollar is good thing, but when
held close to the eye tits very difficult
to see moral principle just beyond
it. *
The old personal liberty" plea is i,
threadbare. It had all the logic.
knocked out Of it years ago, but logic
or no logic, lovers of the dramshop
will not let go. Give us an argument
that has Americanism in it.
