"An interesting session of the Sons
of Hipernia was held last evening in
the lodge rooms. The only exciting
event of the evening was the expul-
sion from the room of Pat Burns,
who was so vehement and so aggres-
sive in his remarks that the presiding
officer promptly ordered him from
the meeting.
"Mr Picus Chamont who is resid-
ing in the American hotel and who
was present, stated that the conduct
of Mr.. Burns was outrageous in the
extreme"

the legislature do something in the way
of stringent legislation and after setting
forth an attractive high-license- scheme,
says:
Whether the legislature will adopt

OF them, no one dare venture an opin-

The Ne10s Of the same city compli-
ments Mr.. Wright upon his address and
notes the great number of bills that

presses an opinion that is no opinion, as
follows:
Undoubtedly there is need of reform

using coffee and did not get any better.
Last winter my husband, who was away

He liked it so we'll that when he
came home he brought some with him.
We began using it and I found it most

the Postum was all gone we returned
to coffee; then my stomach began to
hurt me as before and the nervous con-

A BIG FIGHT YET

The Interior, the we'll known conserv-
alive Presbyterian paper, makes some
observations concerning the
saloon and the Prohibition movement.
1t says:
This "wave of Prohibition
You talk jauntily about its sweep
ing everything before it," But don't
deceive yourself Whatever the wave"

gains by the intercession of business
friends it will throw away by its own
folly. The saloon is an astonishing
exception to the wisdom of the sons
of this world. The most dangerous
thing that the saloon could do today
would be to cut away from vice and
gambling and obey the law. But it
won't do it; it isn't smart enough.
The stupidity of the saloon can be
depended on to disgust more people
than its wickedness outrages.

DRINK AND EMPLOYMENT :.

III ought 10 Suggest itSSii W SoAiSohS
to send President Schneider of Chicago's
board of education, to educate the pro-
prietors of the Prick Coke Company,
who have just announced that their en-
ployees must not drink on orgoH duty,
and Grand Chief Stone of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, who is
agitating for the adoption Of rule
which will compel the railroad engineers
of the country to be total abstainers.
Chief Stones effort has attracted good
deal of attention among the daily pa
pers. The Toledo Bee calls the matter
to the attention of the brewers and Ii
quor dealers, and says:
Will the brewers assert that the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
is striking blow at personal liberty!
What do the members of the personal
liberty league say of the engineers?
Will not the public declare the engi-
neers are right?
The Bee also notes the action OF the
Frick Company and says
This great company is not temper
ance organization but looking at the
problem from purely economic stand
point, it realizes it is best for the COM
pany and for the men if all drinking
is cut out Mr.. Brewer, is this an
other blow at personal liberty? Is 1t
not, rather, good common sense!
The Register of Sandusky, Ohio, COM
ments upon both incidents and says:
When we realize that the engineer
has in his charge not only vast prop
erty, but human lives, the Importance
of this recommendation will be ap-
parent to every wise citizen. Who
would care to trust drunken man or
a man under the influence of liquor to
run locomotive of passenger tram,
or even an ordinary motor car! One
half the accidents of motor cars may
be charged to the Incorporate habits
of the men who run them.
The Commercial Appeal of Memphis,
in spite of its anti Prohibition proclivi-
ties. approves the movement of the en-
gineers and says:
The Columbus convention [of the
Brotherhood will gain the increased
confidence of the public by the enact
ment and enforcement of this new
temperance ordinance among its MEM
bers.
Of course the appeal ought to be in
structed by the Chicago board of educa-
ton that only drinking on duty is dam
gerous.
The Albany Journal notes both the ac-
ton of the Prick Company and the prop
osition Of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers and says:
Such rules appeal directly to the in
dividuars regard for his own welfare.
The alternative is put before him OF
abstinence and livelihood, or indul-
gence and condition of unemployed
ness. The favorite argument of advo-
Gates of Prohibition laws is that in
diligence in ,intoxicants is morally
wrong. To many that doesn't appeal.

If the Democrats will do their
duty, Bryan and Oldield will carry
every voting precinct in Randolph
county on November 3. All you
have to do, gentlemen, is to go To
the polls and vote, and it looks like
anybody ought to be able to do
that. Let us poll at least two
thousand votes in the presidential
election.
To a close observer, and to any
body who will take time to study
the figures, it Is easy to see that,
even in Arkansas, the Socialist and
Republican parties are united
against the Democracy. In short,
the Democrats are voting it straight
this year while the Republicans and
Socialists are mixing their ticket.
For instance, the Republican nomi-
nee for governor in the recent cleo
tion received As, 600 votes, and the
Socialist candidate 5000, while the
other Republican candidates for
state offices received an average of
81, 900 each. The result also shows
that about 5000 Democrats scratch
ed Donaghey and about the same
number of Republicans scratched
Worthington, unless, as stated
above, the Socialists voted with the
Republicans and swelled their vote
from As, 900 to $1,000.
The New York Sun is a republican
newspaper and gives its support in
this campaign to Mr.. Taft. We
quote from it the following:
"Let self-respecting Americans of
all political faiths unite in the fervent
prayer that the unexampled frenzy or
spasm of self-exhibition which is
now degrading the Office of president
of the United States may end before
the scandal invites the attention and
excites the disgust Of the civilized
world"
