NOT PROHIBITION,

Attempts have been made and are
still being made by the brewery ma
chine to divert attention from the is
sue at stake in the state campaign, by
saying that County local option
means prohibition"
By this they hope to influence the
German voters who are temperate
and law abiding to vote for Marshall
on the plea that he VIII sign a bill
for the repeal of county local option.
To these men the words of Cardinal
Gibbons Of the Roman Church bring
a message.
First, l do not believe that prohibit
ton in the great cities is practicable.
Attempts to prevent the sale of liquor
by legislation in these great COM
munities would only invite receptions
and law violations by liquor sellers
and consumers. The result would be
unfortunate for the city and no good
end would be served.
For such cities l believe high H.
cense laws strictly enforced with con-
slant supervision of the saloons to be
the best possible solution of the prob
lem.
Second, l am heartily and absolute.

other communities. I would have the
county as the unit in the elections.
ITO my mind the people of a coun.
ty should have the right and the pow.
er to decide for themselves whether
or not liquor shall be sold within the
county limits.
II have spoken briefly, but 1 could
not express more fully my belief on
this subject if l talked much longer

MANY QUESTIONS
FOR RUSSIA DUMA
Body Convenes for Autumn
Session.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-The Rus
sian Parliament reopened for the
Autumn season, which promises to be
the most fruitful since the establish,
ment of the Duma.
Priority will be given to two meas.
ures connected with the agrarian
problem, namely, the law permitting
the dissolution of communes and the
transfer of lands to individual owner
ship, and reform of the local courts
among the peasantry.
The new university statute, the law
governing religious freedom, and that
relating to local self-government are
also on the calendar for this session.
The relations between the various
parties have been greatly improved OF
late and the conscientious manner in
which the social democrats and the
reactionaries are working together in
committee has given great encourage
ment to the leaders in the parliament

to defeat, delay or thwart such poll
cies no matter from what source such
efforts may come.
The national convention which nom
mated Judge Taft endorsed the poll
oies of President Roosevelt and gave
a pledge to the people that said poll
cies would be continued under repub-
lican administration. AS a member
of the republican party, if elected to
congress l shall do all IN my power to
assist my party in making good this
pledge by an organization of the house
that shall be firmly committed to the
proposition of carrying out this de-
claration in the party platform.
In a public speech made at Brook
vile on the 18th day of August, l de-
clared the same things l do here in
almost the same language and after
ward in two speeches made in your
city before members of the organiza-
ton of the republican party l gave
expression to the same adherence to
said policies as herein stated
Barnard has been clear and I'M
fiinching in his statements His char
acter is without reproach and he is a
man to be relied to the limit
The necessity for a republican con-
gress is quite only second to the cleo
ton of Taft. One without the other is
crippled.

BARNARD.

AS Senator Beveridge aptly pointed
out the democratic party has no fault
to find with what legislation has been
enacted by republican administrations,
nor that which has been recommended
by President Roosevelt The task
which then confronts the next con-
gress and the president is to carry on
the work by adjusting the machin-
cry Of the governm ent and to carry on
the policies which Roosevelt inaugur-
ated.
Taft can not do this work alone He
must have republican congress
which is pledged to carry this on.
The things which will come up be-
fore the next congress are tariff revis-
Ion, the Strengthening of laws against
corporation abuses and the question
Of reorganization of the house of rep
-esentatives.
These are the things which the vot-
ers of the Sixth District desire. These
are the things that Judge Barnard
stands for.
Judge Barnard has many times in
the campaign made clear his stand
for the policies which the progressives
of the republican party demand. AS
he concisely stated in the early days
of the campaign:
you may publicly announce that I
earnestly endorse the policies of
President Roosevelt as advocated
during his administration and those
Of William III. Taft as announced in
his speech of acceptance and that if
elected to congress will do my ut
most to have those policies embodied
in legislation and to provide the necesL
sary and adequate machinery and
means to enforce them, and / shall
by every reasonable and honorable
means in my power resist all efforts

TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.

Mr.. Bryan has in this campaign
proclaimed that the republican party
is responsible for trust growth be-
cause of protective tariff-nay more,
he has charged the protective tariff
with crushing the small competitor.
He ignores the fact that free trade
England has the trusts as has every
other country in the world which has
great industrial or commercial devel-
opmeat.
In 19oS-before Mr.. Roosevelt was

err to decide for themselves whether
or not liquor shall be sold within the
county limits.
Il have spoken briefly, but l could
not express more fully my belief on
this subject if l talked much longer"
The earnestness of the great prince
of the church made every word i'm
pressive. His kindly face was grave
and thoughtful and his whole manner
that of one who realizes the majesty
of his mission.
Apparently the cardinal has not
been in better health health in years.
He has recovered completely from the
illness that made an uncomfortable
episode of his recent European trip.
His face is bronzed, his eye clear, his
step firm and light, his handclasp that
of vigorous brother.
The interview was given without
hesitation. There was no red tape to
be unrolled in obtaining access to the
cardinal. The interview itself was as
clean cut as a razor, as direct as a
straight line, as democratic as the
character of the great cardinal.
AS the interview ended the cardinal
smiled the kindly, soul-warming
smile that makes his face a delightful
memory and said:
you will remember exactly what I
have said; that l am absolutely and
heartily in favor of local option"

To the Journal of the Gypsy Lore
Society A. B. Sinclair contributes an
article on the Oriental Gypsies. His
view that there are no Indian Gypsies,
says Nature, that the recent find of
Oriental books at Turfan, with other
evidence shows that the civilization
and phonetics We have been wont to
consider special to India f1ourished
at one time north of the Himalayas,
and that therefore there is no need to
seek the origin of the Romani speech
in India, is startling, and not likely to
be accepted without further proof
than furnished in the present article.

trust without paralyzing all the small

He said:
MY point is that changes in the

tariff change would help one of our

and carefully. He believed he had
mastered the art now. Presently he
moistened the dry lather on his coun-

ties away from his ear. But he only
started

Mrs. Burkley subsided. Burkley re-
sumed his muscle-making exercise.
rhe strop was now getting a surface
like chopping block but Burkley was
still determined After ten minutes
of pore-oIening work he heaved deep
sigh Of relief
"I'll bet it'll do now" he said.
But he tried the edge on his thumb
this time. And from the ease with
which 1t almost severed that digit 1t
seemed to be much improved.
Mrs. Burkley cried out at sight Of
the blood. Burkley declared it was
nothing, but Mrs b. anointed and
bound up the wound none the less.
and Burkley began feeling he had act
ed like a brute That is he did until
Mrs. B. ventured.
Il remember hearing father say"
rWell," snapped Burkley, what in
thunder did father say?''
"He used to say that unless one
turned the razor over sort of back
wards after each stroke on the strop
the edge would be turned"
What an idiot | ami" groaned
Burkley. Il knew that all the time.
but didn't think of It,
Burkley,s hope revived. He might
be humbled a bit in the eyes of his
wife, but he could still hold up his
head when he met Hawkins. He
iclenehed his teeth and stropped
yiciously but triumphantly for some
minutes. Then he tried the edge-gin-
gerly-on his fir 2ers and-ecstasy! 1t

It's neighbors. But finally he got hold
of what seemed to be just one and
jerked. II hurt, but Burkley was
game and jerked harder. When It
came out he saw that 1t was six. The
razor wouldn't cut them. Burkley
stropped some more, then stopped to
try again. The hairs had mysteriousIy
disappeared. SO he had to pull another
one This time he got four. But still
the razor only made them bend double
Burkley faced a dilemma. One
thumb was cut, now the other was
blistered. He gave up.
When Burkley reached the Office
next morning the first man he ran into
was Hawkins, who eyed him critically.

remarked Hawkins.
BurkIey didn't ask Hawkins how he
knew. He merely meskly nodded.

But Mrs. B. Is going to try to have
the razor sharpened surreptitiously.
She fears otherwise Burkley may

BURKLEY'S
IMDEPEN De NCE

Burkley determined to be independ-
ent of BARRIERS, or very' nearly inde.
pendent, at least. He would continue
to let them cut his hair occasionally,
but that was all So he purchased q
shaving outfit and made war on his
face. And, though an unbiased judge
might have criticised the results, they
seemed to satisfy Burkley.
But his razor soon became dull.
Better take 1t to barber coun-
seled Hawkins. One really ought to
have two razors and work 'em In
shifts, having one sharpened while he
uses the other"
''What1l the barber do to it?"
"Strop It,
Cant II"
He was going out that evening, so
he left the office about half an hour
early.
AS soon as he reached home he
peeled off his coat and vest. Then he
hitched the strop to doorknob and
went to work with will He felt so
confident and self-reliant that he be-
gan to whistle. He might be bit awk-
ward at it, but he'd put an edge on the
thing all right. Just then the razor
turned and cut long cash in the
strop.
That about ruined the strop, but
Burkley believed the razor was sharp
enough, anyway. Accordingly he deco
rated his face with>a fine coat of lather
and then sliced confidently at the stub
BILE near his right ear Instantly a
panied and astonished expression
shone from the eyes Of Burkley-the
rest of his face, of course, being
masked in white,
'Je-e-e-e-hosaphat!" he exclaimed.
He again began stropping furiously
and again slashed the strop.
