federates had followed up their vic

tainly history OF America would have
read somewhat differently; and If Cen

tie OF Gettysburg, that his opponents
we're not only defeated, but discour-
aged, at least as weary as his own
troops and in full retreat, and had fol-
lowed up his victory he would have
ended the Civil War on the banks
Of the Potomac early in July. 1868.
1.-THE Anti-saloon League does not
intend to forget these incidents, and
has therefore mapped out programme
which will keep the enemy busy from
now until at least November 1910. The
counties of the State are being thor
oughly organized for the purpose of
defeating every candidate for office
who does not stand boldly for prohi-
bition. The legislature next winter,
will be asked to pass law prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale Of intox-
icants in this State, from and after the
first of July, 1909. The Constitution
gives the legislature the right to pro-
hibit or regulate the liquor traffic, and
we propose to demand prohibition, be-
Ing tired of regulation. The defeated
amendment was TO have gone into eff
feet upon the above-named date, and
we intend to show the liquor men that
when they with money, defeated one
Of our most sacred rights, they did
themselves no good nor US any harm.
"At the same session of the legisla-
ture we intend to demand the submits
sion of a prohibition amendment to
the Constitution, TO be voted no in No
vember. 1909, this being now the ear
Hest date at which we can vote on
an amendment.
1--WE therefore serve notice on the
politicians OF both parties that 1t will
be useless to nominate any man for
office who is now. or has been, directly
or indirectly Interested in the liquor
business or who fails to declare his
adhesion to what we want. Men of
both parties are declaring, 81 no long
er care for any political party; / pro-
pose to find out who runs this coun-
try; and will vote only for temperance
men,"

ma. ALvoRp,s PROGRAMME.

The Anti.saloon League is making
some pretty strong claims to recogni-
tion in a political way in West Vir-
ginia, according to statement issued
by Mr.. Theodore Alvord, superintend-
emit Of the League. Mr.. Alvord says
the voters win not stand for whiskey
men in ohiclal positions and he serves
notice on both political parties as to
the kind Of men to nominate. His
statement is as follows:
sIn the rejection of the prohibition
amendment resolution by the Senate,
the cause Of temperance in West Vir-
ginia, seems to have met with defeat,
hut, when the situation is broadly con.
sidered 1t viii be seen that this is
only temporary check. The sub,
mission Of the amendment, was asked
for by $4,000 petitioners, their names
being obtained in fifteen days in the
dead OF winter. Everybody knows
that this number was but small part
OF what could have been obtained had
there been suficient time to make any
thing like thorough canvass of the
state. IN many other ways it was
demonstrated that the people of this
State are more generally and earnest
ny in favor Of the prohibition OF the
liquor traffic than ever before.
'The management of the Anti-sa-
loon League is very far from being
discouraged. The State is on fire with
prohibition sentiment and to bring
this about has been a heart-breakins
task. This having been accomplish
ed, 1t Is evident that the wise thing
for the temperance people to do, is to
force The fighting. The fruits OF many
q victory have been lost by the fail
spre of the victorious army to follow
up the enemy. For Instance, II the Con-

Theodore Roosevelt such a remarkable
hold on the affections of the American

TERRIBLE STORY TOLD
Uncle Bound Over to Higher
Court For Mistreating
His Own Niece.

Another trial, in which evidence of a
revolving nature was introduced, was
held in Judge VIM. w. McMahon's city
court this morning when John Feescer
was given a preliminary hearing in the
case in which he is charged with mis-
treating his own neice, the 14-year-old
Emma Forsythe.
Feescer was held to the Lake super
ior court under $500 bonds and will
have to stand trial there. The evil
dence was similar to that which was
secured by the police when Feescer
was arrested.
Little Emma Forsythe and her sister
reiterated their testimony given to the
police and the whole shocking story of
the alleged depravity of the uncle of
the little girls. showing the very evil
dent parental neglect which made such
a crime possible came out in the trial
The court room was filled with a
curious throng, but even the morbidlv
curious were soon nauseated by the
testimony which was brought out. The
case so far does not indicate the prob
able guilt or innocence of the defend
ant and that will have to be estab-
lished at the final hearing
The case was prosecuted bv Attor
ney D. E. Boone and Attorneys John
ston and Bixby represented the de-
PENDANTS. The case required all morn
ing for the trial.

line between the Standard Steel Car
company's plant and East Chicago.
He states that the new schedule was
put on in the hope that the cars could
pc sent over the road with greater
speed. 1t takes times to get a scbed-
ule of the kind in perfect operation
and the public are asked, in the interest
OF the service, to be patient while m
effort is being made to improve con
ditions.
II the new schedule is finally found
impractical another one will be adopted
until finally the service will be inn
proved.
