PLANVIELD, y. j.. Jan. 3O.-Mayor
Charles j. Fisk summoned all Of the liquor
dealers Of the city TO his Office last night
and said to them:
Gentlemen, have asked you to come
here for the purpose Of discussing a most
important matter. We are in the throes of
an industrial Representatives, are hard
money is scarce and there is to be found
much suffering among the poor. I have
tried to relieve some of the suffering by Civ
ing employment to the heads of families
such as in the cleaning of streets, grading
&C. but l understand that some Of these
men spend what they earn in saloons and
hotels, and thereby neglect their families
Several such cases have been brought to my
attention, and now l want You to help me
out.
"You are a decent set of fellows and,
believe, have consciences and know what
Is right and wrong. ! want you, one and
all. to promise me you will not sell intoxi-
Cants or allow them TO be sold to any Of the
men whose names appear on a list which /
will distribute among you"
Every dealer promised that the request
would be granted. They also promised to
exercise more care in the future in the sale
Of intoxicants TO young men.

ALBANY, Jan. Ex-senator Raines's adno-

the session Of the Legislature brought to

large number for that boiy to report so

Governor was also of the opinion that il
could not take up the additional duties
for he said in his annual message 10 the
Legislature that he did not want the new
law to take effect until October | next.

Public Service commissions cannot take
up this duty this year il is time enough TO

way, known AS the meat rate case, and
involving the right of the road to re-
duce the freight rate on live stock pro-
ducts without making a similar reduc-
tion in the rate on livestock itself, was
decided by the supreme court Of the
United States today in favor Of the
company. The suits was instituted in
the interest of the city of Chicago, it
being alleged the change had worked
hardship to Chicago by diverting ship
ments OF live stock from that city.to

The commission found the change of
rate on one article without correspond :

CRAWFORD IN LEAD

standing Three Stalwart Coun-

Huron, S. D., March %, Reports
from twelve of the twenty-nine coun-
ties that held primaries March 10 in
dicate that Governor Crawford will
have considerable majority of the
popular vote. OF the counties already
reported, three, Brown, Hughes and
Dawson, were counted stalwart strong
holds. But, Notwithstanding this, Gov.
Crawford has a popular majority of H.
25S in twelve counties. AS it is UNDER
stood he has the popular lead in all the
remaining counties except Grant and
perhaps Clark and Campbell, his mana
gers expect the total figures will give
them ground upon which to claim, fur.
ther, that the first primary brought out
a very small farmer vote and say that
Crawford is particularly strong with
the farmers.
The stalwarts reply by saying they
will roll up big votes i'll Minnehaha
county and in the Black Hills. How
ever, the progressives say they are 60
ing to try to carry Minnehaha county
and all in the Hills except Lawrence.

Bacon.

Orange City Herald: What manner
of man is he whoshas not arisen from
his bed these spring mornings to have
nostrils greeted with that ineffable and
hunger compelling odor of fried bacon ?
Alb, the wonderful genius who presides
over the destnes of the kitchen is pre-
pairing meal more appetizing and sat
sfying than ever graced the table of a
Roman emperor. Why is it that bacon
has become the national food of Amer.
icans? In the first place, because of its
intrinsic qualities. Bread is no longer
the staff of life. The soldier might fill
his knapsack with bread and travel for
day or two, and then stop. The
lumberman never thinks Of going to
work without his bacon the furnaces
of the body require fuel and bacon sup
plies it. There's another reason. The
aroma arising from the morning plate
of bacon has been distilled from thous-
ands of Iowa corniields. AS dad sits
down to his appetizing breakfast his
minds eye he sees the whole panorama
of the growing crop, the tender shoots
Of May, the graceful plants of June,
the waving tassels, the ripened grain
No wonder he likes bacon, no wonder
the modern world is coming to find out
that these tender cuts furnish forth the
table as nothing else Can do in the line
| OF modern cookery. The old notion
that bacon is unhealthful has gone a
gllmmerlng with a lot Of the other non
sense propagated by the silly doctors of
a generation ago. Bacon is indeed the
most grateful food the stomach can
take. The mind demands bacon be-
cause the green fields of boyhood days
while the demand OF the appetite for
bacon is proof that good health requires
it. Pamper the stomach with digested
foods and you weaken it, just as the
arm of the blacksmith would shrivel up
if tied to his sid. But when the lordly
bacon is given us for food we forget
the ills of life and take on a strength
that prepares us for its most serious
| battles.

A sign Of the healthy conditions Of
trade in this country is found in the
increase of values in the expectations
OF manufacturers last year. An in
crease Of approximately $500O0,000 in
this class Of exports is reported. The
increase was felt in nearly all of the
important items of this commerce not
ably cars and carriages, agricultural
implements, copper, structural iron and
steel, locomotives, pipes and fittings,
boots and shoes and lum Der. Trade
conditions of the world do not threaten
decline of the demand for any Of
these articles. We may not export the
same values this year, but consider
able decline might take place and yet
not seriously affect our industries. a
real stagnation OF industry and COM
merce is generally a matter of slow
growth. When market is vastly over
stocked slump may be expected but
the articles enumerated in the list Of
expectations in 1907 which show an in
crease are, with few exceptions, of the
KIND which would not be shipped on
speculation. The only material decline
in the exports of manufactures was in
Gotten cloths, and this falling off was
due to unusually heavy expectations to
China in 1905.

Hall Tackles The Lumber Trust.

The full text of Congressman Philo
Halls speech on the floor Of the house
March ID, as published in the Congress
sional Record of March 19, shows that
the South Dakota congressman has
taken on an engagement with the lum-
Der trust. AS that redoubtable organi-
zation has survived many an assault,
there is no cause for grave fears on its
behalf, even over 30 logical and con-
vincing an address as that given by
Congressman Hall.
Mr. Hall shows that the United States
IS annually consuming three times as
much lumber as it produces and that
the country's supply will have been ex-
hausted in % to 25 years. He cites the
Dingley tariff at So per thousand feet
on white lumber and 81 on sycamore,
Eastwood and whitewood, followed by
retaliatory legislation by Canada prac-
tically stopping the importation of logs
into the United States.
In the way of conservation of the
countrys supply of lumber, Congress
man Hall suggests four things: First,
removal of the tariff, to give the United
States access to the forests Of Canada;
prohibition of the cutting of trees of
less than minimum size, to protect
forests in private ownership; establish
ment of artificial forests by seeds and
transplanted young trees, and protection
or the consumer and the lumberman
alike from monopoly.

enterprising citizen of Casper, Wyo.,
tloated a large number of bogus
cashiers certificates, and they are going
to send him to the penltentiary for so,
doing. His attorney raised the point
that no crime was committed for the
reason that the genuine cashiers certi-
