6. O.P.FOR PROHIBITION

jamestown Capital: Rev. Morrison
of this city delivered an excellent lee
ture in New Rockford last week. TAX
ing the subject: Does Prohibition
Need a Political Party in North Da-
kota?" The Transcript correcLs the
reverend gentleman. 1t says:
In his lecture here Tuesday evening
Rev. J. @. Morsison made a statement
accusing the republican state platform
with knocking the prohibition law in
this state. Either the reverend gentle
man is ignorant of the points incor-
porated in the republican state plat
form or he is purposely misleading
those who attend his lectures The
prohibition plank in the republican
platform is as follows: Constitutional
prohibition of the liquor traffic, having
been made a part of our fundamental
law, through the efforts of the repub-
lican party, we pledge the party to the
maintenance of the prohibitory law
and co its strict enforcement through
out the entire state and call on the
men who are to bear the standard OF
republicanism to recognize this pledge
in the administration of the Offices to
which they may be chosen If Mr.
Morrison has noe read this plank, Oh
reading, has not understood its mean
ing, it would be well for him to take
\ week off from his lectures and study
the same SO he may discuss it intelli-
gently"
Mr.. Morrison says that his remarks
had reference to both the republican
md demooratic national MA fforpoc arS
That he was not aware of the above
plank in the republican state plat
form until it was called to his atten.
ton by The Capital today. He is glaG
to recrify any misstatement, he said.

walked the entire distance between

two young ladies, who seemed equal tc

EDMoRE Is CLEANED UP.
Citizens of That Town Take Deter
mined stand Auainst Pins.


Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 2S.--State's
Attorney Serumgard was called to
Edmore yesterday to take charge of
Frank Larue, arrested by the city Of
ficials for blind plugging. This marks
the final cleaning up OF Edmore and
the townspeople say that there will
be no more Illicit selling OF liquor If
they can help it.
About two weeks ago the applica-
tion OF one Of the Edmore druggists
for liquor permit was turned down
and the other has no permit. so the
citizens decided the time had come to
stop liquor selling once and for all.
They were given an early opportunity
to demonstrate the strength OF their
convictions. for on Saturday Larre
came to the town with a load of booze
and opened UP in vacant building.
No sooner had he begun to dispose Of
the liquor then the mayor, sheriff
and three aldermen called and arrest
ed him. Forty-six pint bottles were
found in case. He was held In $500
to the district court. Similar action
to that taken by, Edmore by the other
towns OF the state would soon do
away with blind pigging.

A. S. E. TO MEET HERE

Chas. U. Pierson, secretary of the
state organization of the American
Society of Equity has issued notices
that the members of the grain
growers department Of the society
from North and South Dakota and
Minnesota would hold a meeting in
Fargo on Oct. 81. While Mr.. Pierson
did not state just what business this
meeting had been called for he said
that 1t would be very important
meeting and 1t is probable that the
handling of the present grain crop will
be one of the principal features of the
meeting.
The society is getting stronger in
North Dakota every year and there
have been a large number of farmers
who have pledged to hold their wheat
for one dollar per bushel than ever be-
fore and they take part of the credit
for the present good prices or grain.

1t will be interesting to note that
in division G, or the fruits, there were
number of varieties on exhibit.
There were ten varieties of currants,
four varieties Of strawberries, one
variety of black currants, two varieties
of gooseberries, one variety of resp
berries and six varieties of plums.
Division J, or the vegetable di-
vision, does not show as extensive an
exhibit as would naturally be expected
in a grain and vegetable growing
state, but when the fact is taken into
consideration that the fair is held at
season of the year before these
products mature, the showing must be
considered very credible.
In the woman's department the in
crease in the number Of exhibits over
the state fair of 1906 was 1O7 per cent,
while the increase of the number Of
exhibits in the school department over
1906 was 308 per cent. These are two
very remarkable increases, and speak
well for the departments as well as
for the fair association.
In department N, or the art depart
ment, it is necessary to state that this
department does not include the art
exhibit made by the Society OF Arts
and Crafts, which made an independ-
ent exhibit and paid their own pre-
minus

STATE FAIR PAID
MOST TO FARMERS

The North Dakota state fair asso-

miums for the year 1908, in the diff

money, and, as reported by Secretary
Chas. E. Wilson. the greater proper
ton was paid to the farming indus
tries OF the state. This does not in
clude any purses paid in the speed
department and total amount is far
in excess of any ever paid by any as

Flowers are among the luxuries of
life for which a steady demand has
been created as civilization has ad-
vanced. Our forefathers were econ

imminent attack of apoplexy. Mulrooney swal-

Can you talk again. he asked, and at the
sivery voice began to chatter volubly, but in an
array of meaningless sounds. Then it steaded down,
and cohesion out of the chaos
There is woman" it said. She will come to

What woman?" asked Mulrooney.
She is gray, and her face is married.

into the apartment slowly lmped Mrs. Whipple. Her

no homeopathic hand
Upon her appearance the form in the chair seemed
to become yet more solid, and high pitched,

Are you of the spirit word?" inquired Mrs
Whipple reverently
"Oh fudge!" said the voice violently.
Mrs Whipple turned to her husband, and there
was reproof in her tone. Josiah, she said sternly,
lis this jest?'
"I-I- give it up. my dear" he answered, and
Mrs. Whipple turned an accusing orb-the only one
uncovered-on Murooney. He stared back at her,
and she went on with her questioning.

the specter in the chair. Here! Quit that he
ordered sharply. and the voice snared.

choked. why don't you do something to get me
