Lying About the Farmers.

One Of the instruments being used
by the liquor interests in their cam
paign to extend drunkenness, crime,
poverty and misery in Iowa, is a
so-called Travelling Mems Liberty
League. The name used illustrates
the deceptive methods employed by
the liquor interests. The few travel
ing men who are connected with this
so-called league" are those who
travel for brewerieS and diStillerieS,
makers Of saloon fixtures, etc. Under
the name of this league large num-
bers of pamphlets arguing in favor of
the liquor interests are being circu-
lated. We have taken the time to
read carefully some of these pam
phlets, especially n entitled PRO
hibition Makes Drug Fiends." In
this we find the following:
"1n some Of the farming districts Of
Kansas and Iowa, where local senti-
ment had pronounced 50 strongly
against any traffic in Intoxicating
liquors that they could only be
brought in at the risk of Subjecting
the importer to prosecution and perse-
%cution, it Vas noticed that drunken
ness Of a particular violent and in-
sanity-producing kind Vas largely on
the increase among the farm laborers.
Ultimately, the explanation was
found in the fact that the craving
for StimulantS, which was denied a
more reasonable qualification, had led
to the tapping of the vegetable juices
of ensilage from the SilOs in which an
alcoholic fermentation was produced
in the vegetable masses. These juices
contained poisonous qualities capable
of causing a peculiarly maddening
and destructive form of in~toxication."
Was there ever a better illustration
Of what the love of liquor will do to
a mans brain than is furnished in
the above? Its utter abSurdity and
falSity will of course be apparent to
the farmer who knows what a Silo is,
but probably some city folks may be
really fooled. We are surprised, how
ever that the man who wrote it did
not let his fertile imagination out
another notch and explain that COWS
fed on ensilage give milk cocktails
which when fed to women and chill
dren produce such unnatural cravings
that in many sections entire siloS
have been torn down and eaten raw.
In all seriousness, if the desire to
promote the liquor traffic causes such
monstrous lying, is it not time that
we stamp out the whole business?

Male VS.. Female Curiosity.

Yankton, s.. D., Herald: An At
lantic City pastor is in bad repute
with his lady parjshioners because at
a recent Illustrated lecture, while
showing Lots wife turning to salt as
a result of curiosity the reverend gen.
tleman ascribed to all women the
trait of which Lots wife was a vic
tim. They say it is no worse for a
woman to turn to salt than for a man
to turn to rubber, and that unless
the pastor eats his remarks there will
be things happening about him be-
side which a quarrel in the choir will
not be worthy of mention. Our SYM
pathies are with the ladies entirely.
They have no more curiosity than the
men and never had. OF course the
scriptures say things about woman's
rights and woman's wrongs which af-
ford text for degratory remarks, but
what of 1t? The scriptures were
written by men, and we are justified
in saying that most of them were pig
headed old fellows who loafed about
the family libraries dieting on honey
while the women Of their households
Graded and thrashed the wheat and
MIXED the goats to keep the sheriff
of the premises. The amount of Gus
sedness which these men themselves
acknowledged leads us to believe that
II their wives had respite from the
washtub and the corn field long
enough to write a few chapters Of
holy writ from the feminine view
point the men CT today would have to
hang their heads in shame in the face
OF the faults and %iniquities of their
forefatners as chronicled by their
foremothers.

ter, Stretcher and twister attachment
and will pull a staple from any post
with ease. Mr.. Guinter is very proud
of his invention and we'll he may be
because it will find its way to every
farm home in the county as fast as it
can be manufactured. Mr.. Guinter
has a company organized at Rockford
for its manufacture and the wholesale
trade look upon it with S % much favor
that a million hammers could be
placed on sale in a week If the Ge-
mand could be supplied. The COM
pany is preparing to enlarge their
plant so as to make 500 a day, and
this won't anywhere meet the demand
now. 1t is the best and most useful
hammer ever devised, in fact there is
nothing like it. A little attachment
cuts a single barb wire or two wires
with ease and makes a splice. The
retail price is S1.25, but it is worth
ten times that to any man with wire
fences.

What Killed tho Adiutant7

and dates back to 1860. FitzRoy was
possessed Of an air gun, and one after.
noon he took a shot at an adjutant, q
bird which, being an excellent scaven.
ger, is protected from injury by fine
Of 100 rupees. Several people saw the
bird fall, but heard no report. There
was, Of course, a hubbub, and a court
Of inquiry was ordered to investigate
the birds death.
As luck would have it, FitzRoy was
appointed president of the court, the

investigated all the evidence brought

that the bird died Of sunstroke."-
