Crookston and vicinity was visit
ed by a phenomenal downpour Of
rain last Sunday afternoon. It
commenced raining about five
O'Clock and continued incessantly
nearly three hours in which time
nearly six inches of rain fell. The.
sewers in the city could not take
care of the water which filed the
streets like river, and many base
ments were flooded. Water is still
standing in the bitches and low
places in the fields as far north as
Euclid. At Warren there was only
a light shower, that afternoon, but
on Sunday night a heavy rain came
delaying threshing for the next two
days.

The smelter: production of copper in
the United States in 1907, according to
L. G. Gates, of the United States geo.
logical survey, was 1853, 986, 491 pounds.
From the record figures of 1906 this is a
decrease of 4S, 800, 191 pounds, or 5.6 per
cert the largest actual decrease ever
recorded and the largest relative de-
creae since the American copper
industry became important. This is
the first time since 1901 that the annual
production has been smaller than that
of the preceding year and the first time
since 1872 that it has been smaller than
that of the second year preceding.
The total given above is made up of
the fine copper content of blister pro-
duced and of the smelter output of
ingot and anode copper from Michigan.
Of this quantity, approximately 10,075-
04S pounds in blister were produced in
foreign smelters from domestic mate
rails exported. In addition to the
domestic materials handled, smelters in
this country turned out as blister Ga, =
154, 1853 pounds from foreign ore con-
centrates and matte. Domestic blister
containing 1850, 063 pounds was ex-
ported unrefined, while blister from
foreign sources containing approximate
ly 1873, $50, 132 pounds fine copper was
imported for refining in this country.

These principles form the bright con-
stellation which has gone before us, and
guided our steps through an age of
revolution and reformation. The
wisdom of our sages and the blood of
our heroes have been devoted to the at
tainment. They should be the creed of
our political faith-the text of civil
instruction-the touchstone by which to
try the services of those we trust; and
should we wander from them in
moments of error or alarm, let us hasten
to retrace our steps and regain the road
which leads alone to peace, liberty and

PUSHED HIS INQUIRY TOO FAR
Discovery That Brought DisiIlusion
ment to Austrian Emperor.

Regarding the public agitation for
baths in elementary schools In Aus.
tria, story is going the round Of
court circles of a recent experience
Of the emperor. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. His majesty was visiting a
school in small country district. "A
local official, anxious to impress the
sovereign with the progressive ideas
prevailing in the community, called
his attention to the fact that the
schoolhouse was provided with baths
FOR the pupils. "
The emperor showed the liveliest IN.
terest, and Immediately asked to see
the bathroom, whereupon the director
of the school looked extremely un.
comfortable. The key could not be
found for some time, and his majesty
began to get impatient. Finally 1t was
produced, and the eager official opened
the door.
The emperor stepped into a VERT.
able lumberroom, filed with a choice
collection of broken desks and chairs
and waste paper that completely hid
the bath equipment.
The emperor stepped quickly out
again. and as he did so was heard to
murmur: Serves me right Why was

concentration that it be passed Mr.. Regain showed
conclusively how it was possible for a Prohbi-
ton member of the legislature to do more for the
people than member elected upon either the Re-
publican or Democratic ticket He gave many
illustrations of this fact from his own expert
in the legislature, explaining that old party
members of the legislature are bound by the action
of the caucus of their party, whereas Prohibition
lists are able to vote their convictions any bill
before the legislature, without regard to party
bosses the party machine. Mr.. Regan's ad-
dress aroused great enthusiasm.
The next speaker the Hon. Dan R. Sheen,
former member of the legislature from Peoria dis
trct. He spoke the topic "The Legislature
from the Inside Mr.. Sheen's address was rev.
eation of some of the methods used by old party
legislators 1t was vigorous and conclusive dem
onstraton of the iniquites of boss rule in our leg
islature.
There question in the minds of those
present that need more members of the legs-
lature like the ones which have been elected to
that body by the Prohibitionists of Illinois.
Each speaker referred to the outlook this fall
as extremely favorable to the election of enough
Prohibition members to the legislature to hold
the balance of power and all agreed that if the
balance of power shall be held by the Prohibition
lists the people of Illinois expect better egisla-
ton than they have ever had from any legislature
in the past.

A Friendly Resolution

The following resolution was adopted by the
committee on resolutions of the late Illinois state
convention too late for presentation to that body:
''We hereby endorse the splendid work of the
Ants Saloon League, the Woman's Prohibition
Club, the Womans Christian Temperance Union,
the Washingtonian the Church Temperance So
cieties, and all other organizations which coop
Grated in that campaign which voted nearly 1000
saloons out of existence in the state of Illinois,

The "Traveling Mems Liberty League is cir,
attributed to Miss Phoebe Cousins, in which that
restless woman is again represented as having
once been IAN active temperance agitator, and is
quoted as saying: "All women in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union are narrow mind
ed lot" Of course, calling names is not an argu-
ment. either in Miss Cousins case or ours, but if
that woman does not stop advertising herself as
former Temperance agtator" the time will come
pretty soon when some one will have to plainly say
that she is a liar Miss Cousins has had a some
what entertaining history, some passages of which
she may be proud Of perhaps, while some she may
we'll desire to have forgotten, but the statement
that she ever was. even remotely, connected with
any temperance agitation is unqualifedly false,
whether it be Miss Cousins or her beery en-
rloyers who are responsible for it

WORKERS IN TRAINING
Conference of Men Who Will Do Things in
Illinois Counties

Thursday afternoon the training school for
Prohibitionists was conducted by Mr., Blake.
The meeting opened with a song by the
Abingdon Prohibition Quartet The purpose of
gathering was to discuss methods to be followed
by the organizers in their field work this year. In
calling the session to order Mr.. Blake stated that
65 Prohibition organizers were under con-
tract to do work in Illinois. Forty of these
in attendance at the convention The plan is to
put at least in every senatorial district in the
state and in some parts of the state to put one
into every county for the purpose of organizing
that county by voting precincts and to raise
legislative campaign fund OF sufficient proportion
to make winning fight.
The first speaker was J. E. Harvey of Shurtleff
college, who talked the topic "How to Find
Prohibitionists." The concluding point of Mr..
Harveys address was IF you cannot find Pro-
hbitionists, make them"
Mr.. Theodore Clark spoke the topic, Fund
Raising by Personal Solicitation
Mr. Leo F. Jeanmene, who is the district organ
izer for the Eighth Senatorial District and has
been in the field several months, spoke the sub
ect, "Organizing: How to Do 1t and How Not to
Do It." Mr.. Jeanmene is one of our most success
full organizers
Mr. Roy W. Millican of Greenville college, who
has been field worker in Minnesota, spoke on the
topic Doing Politics in Minnesota"
The conference concluded with an address by
Harry S. Warner secretary of the Inter Collegiate
Prohibition Association, on the subj ect, pointers
for Field Workers.
The topic of each address was discussed and
questions asked of the speaker. Much valuable
information was secured by those who expect to
do field work this summer, and if the spirit shown
by the organizers at the convention is at all ind
cative of the kind of work they will do, it be
safely said that winning fight will be made for
the legislature in every district in the state.
During the progress of the conference the Tay-
lor University Quartet and the Kings Daughters
Quartet were heard
It was not generally known that all of the boys
in the Abingdon and Taylor Quartets are to be
field workers for Prohibition this summer.
The men were SO interested in discussing the
summers work that an evening conference was
held at the St. Nicholas Hotel, beginning at 73O
and ending about II 80 Every detail of the
ganization work was considered and enthusiasm
for the work was manifest on the part of every
one present. 1t should be said that many county
chairmen and secretaries attended these confer
ences with great profit to themselves and to the

MILWAUKEE, TAKES NOTICE
Mangasarian with His Plea for Liquor Traffic
Arouses Conservative Clergymen.

MILWAUKEE, May 4-(Special correspondence
Yesterday Milwaukee witnessed somewhat re-
markabe attack upon the liquor traffic from the
pulpits of several churches that have been eX-
ceedingy conservative-not to say reactonary-
in the past This was perhaps called forth by the
fact that Dr. NJ NJ Mangasarian of Chicago has
been speaking in the city and has said good many
things to which it would be difficult for decent
Christian man to listen without being aroused
against the liquor traffic.
Dr. Mangasarian at home is the head OF what
is known as a Society for Ethical Culture, and
would repudiate the name of minister" or the
standing of Clergyman Only few months
ago, in debate in Chicago he is known to have
contended that no such person as Jesus Christ
ever lived Since that time he has been widely
employed by the liquor interests III their cam
paigns against Prohibition and everywhere poses
as a clergyman and makes one of his strongest
pleas against Prohibition on the ground that Jesus
made water into wine.
Mangasaran addressed great audience i'll this
city last week and his speech is believed to have
set some of the conservative clergymen thinking
The Rev. Dr. Smith, who is rector of St Paufs
Episcopal church, and who is said to be not
total abstaner preached strong sermon ar
raigning the liquor traffic on scientific grounds
and declaring that the men who make fortunes
out of the appetites of their unfortunate fellows
have enjoyed their personal liberty long enough:
The Rev. Dr. Edwards of the St. James church,
a man who has publicly announced that he is
moderate drinker, criticized DR.. Mangasarian Sc
verev, and declared that crime fastens to the
liquor traffic with the tenacity of barnacles. he
Rev. E A. Cutler of the Westminster Presbyte--
ran church also preached upon the subject and
analysed the personal liberty plea of the liquor
crowd
Upon the whole, it was one OF the most re-
markab1e DAYS in the matter of pulpit oratory
that Milwaukee has seen for a long time.

INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTEST
Young Prohibition Workers From Illinois Col
leges Meet in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May Sc Special correspond
ence)-Two prominent facts filled the state con-
vention of the Illinois Intercollegiate Prohibition
Convention here today with intense enthusiasm
for the present "out-to-win' spirit in the state:
l. The fact that seventy five college men are to
be in the legislative campaign work of the state
the coming summer and that seventy of these
have already been engaged.
2 That the best all-round state oratorical con-
test ever held in Illinois occurred this evening
the First Baptist church
Seven leading universities and colleges of the
state sent representatives, Northwestern Univer
sity, Garrett Biblical Institute, Wheaton, Green
vile, Shurtleff, Illinois College, and Eureka Col
ege Every Grafton showed keen study of the
whole liquor problem; most treated the problem
broadly, but with keen understanding that true
solution is dependent upon complete abolition, not
only of the saloon, but of the whole traffic.
First honors and prize of $500 in cash
awarded to Chas W. Young of Greenville and
second to Glenn N. Merry of Northwestern Uni
versity. Mr. Young will represent the state in the
eastern interstate contest at Saratoga Springs,
N Y June 90 This contest is held in connection
with the Worlds Temperance Congress. If he
wins there he will speak for the entire eastern
section in the national contest at Columbus, Ohio,
July IA, when student orators from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Louisiana to Minnesota

A strong force of state officers was elected for
the coming year as follows: President, Glenn N.
Merry, Northwestern, Evanston vice-president,
Geo. E. Kline of Greenville; secretary, L. c. Gil
bert of Shurteff; treasurer, Lyman J. Cook of
Wheaton; member executive committee, w. H.
Sullivan of Ewing President Merry who is one
of the leading Chautauqua workers of the past two
years, under the state committee, is planning to
make great advance next year in the college
work of the state. He expects to visit personally
all the colleges of the state interested.
Three delegates and three alternates were
chosen to attend the national convention of the
Association at Columbus Ohio, July IA. The re-
port of the treasurer showed all bills paid and
handsome balance left in the treasury with which
to push the work.
Keen enthusiasm was aroused by the announce
ment that of the seventy-fve young men called for
in the legislative campaign of Illinois, most had
already been secured and large share were in
attendance at the convention to gather enthusl-
asm and practical training Most of the seventy
engaged are from Illinois colleges but several
come from Taylor University, Indiana, which also
furnishes fine quartet A few are from other
Indiana schools. There will be three college
quartets the Taylor University from Upland, In
diana; the Hedding from Abingdon, ILL.,, and
quartet from United Biblical Seminary, Dayton,
Ohio formerly of Monmouth College in this state.
The last will be in the Chautauqua work.
