Something Dropped

"Oh yes, I am for Prohibition, but I
expect one of the old parties to put
plank in their platform this summer for
national Prohibition. This temperance
wave is an eye opener and I want to see
what the old parties do. No, will not
sign that now"
81 am glad to learn your interest.
When an old party puts that plank in
then | am that kind of an old party man.
That pledge l gave you provides for that
very contingency. Just read the first
clause. Now, again, the old party does
not know how you stand on this ques-
ton. If we can secure million names
by June first, and it were announced it
would open some ones eyes at the old
party conventions; but nineteen million
like you who have neither voted with us
nor will line up now could parade Our
streets until the day of doom and the
saloon would go on.
"Now put your name right down there
and get into the band wagon with the
other fellows who believe in no saloons.
other men have made such sacrifices of
their ballot as am asking of you. The
present wave will dash on the shores of
history as of no avail, if you and thou
sands of men like you do not step now
into the open and force the wave by such
methods as this until it shall smash down
the obstruction of liquordom. (I looked
him straight in the eye.) If this wave
fails it will be because you are willing to
bear the burden of the saloon infamy."
"Sign now!'
He did.

THE CRISIS AT HAND

Today the crisis in the temperance re-
form is at hand Newspapers are pub
fishing the news, preachers are preaching
the one great issue and the little knots
of men on the street corners, in the
restaurants and place of business are dis
cussing the saloon problem. In short,
Prohibition is in the air." People do
not understand the issue, they are frantic
about the curses of the saloon and they
are looking for place to concentrate,
place to get into action against the sa-
LOOM
The cry we hear almost every day is,
"Where can l hit the Saloon?"
Prohibitionists of America-this is
harvest season! No more lasting or
successful work can be done by you
than to ask men to vote the ticket. The
field is ripe-thrust in the sickle of "Ask
Pledge" and you will reap bountiful
harvest.
If you are deaf and dumb just go from
one voter to another and lay down
blank pledge and a pencil If the man
signs put it in your pocket and go to the
next man. One days work like that
would yield at least five new voters. If
some of the "yabid," "cranky" Prohibi
tionists, who always get their foot in it
when they talk, could just play deaf and
dumb and try the plan, what blessing

Good 7 emp1ar News and Notes

By WILLARD O. WYLIE
National Grand Secretary.

On June the Supreme Lodge of
Good Templars will meet at Washing
ton, D. c. Delegates will be present
from the four quarters of the globe, such
representatives as Mains and Hayler of
England, Honeyman of Scotland, Semple
of Sweden, Gobel of Denmark, Blume
of Germany, ETC., being in attendance
The National Grand Lodge of the United
States will be represented by Hon. Geo.
F. Cotterill of Seattle, Wash June II
the National Grand Lodge will meet in
the same CITY, The following week will
see the delegates at Saratoga, June 16
having been made Good Templar Day
at the Centennial Congress. In addition
to some of the names above mentioned
the following will be assigned places on
the program: The Rev. Jas. Yeames,
Arlington, Mass. Miss Jessie Forsyth,
Boston, Mass, and the Rev. Harry
Greensmith, Rochester, N. Y.
George F. Cotterill, N. G. C. T., of
Seattle, Wash, writes that the city is in
the throes of hot local contest Mr..
Cotterill is chairman of the Seattle
City party, (which has renominated
Mayor Moore on his law enforcement
record and on a basis of non-partizan-
ship in municipal politics The Prohibi-
tionists will endorse Mayor Moore.
Democrats will have ticket in field but
will cut no figure, the contest being be-
tween Mayor Moore and the Republican
nominee. We also have for popular
vote, charter amendments which apply
the initiative and referendum to mu-
nicipal affairs, require popular vote on
franchise grants, and also saloon limits
proposition which will make 81 per cent
of our city area Prohibition, leaving Our
new retail business streets, also the en-
tire water front, and all residence dis
tricts and all but two suburban business
districts free of saloons. In the 8 per
cent central business district remaining,
no saloons to be on corners, and not
more than two to a block; no increase
in the present total number of licenses
(315) until the city shall reach a popula-
ton of 100000 All this without sur
render of every right to knock out any
or all of the 315 at the end of any an
nua1 license period 1t is almost certain
of adoption and is thus far and no
farther to the liquor traffic, leaving the
anti-saloon people perfectly free to close
in on the remainder"
The national intoxicant in Norway is
known as branvin. Under an act passed
in 1904 the retail traffic was continued
under the "samlags," governmental
paternalism that excludes all private
profit. In connection with the passage
of this act it was enacted that every per-
son over twenty-five years of age, man
or woman, could vote on the continuance
or outlawry of the traffic Those, how
ever, who failed to vote were reckoned
in favor of the traffic. Notwithstanding
this obviously unfair requirement, the
year 1907 has brought so many triumphs
that today 33 out of the 81 towns of
Norway have voted to suppress the
Samlag.

In December Henrik Voss, G. c. T. of
Denmark, had narrow escape from
death in a railway accident at Roskilde.
Two ribs were broken, but his many
friends will be pleased to learn that he
is now convalescent.
The death of John Sutherland P. C.
c. T. of Scotland, is announced. A pio-
neer in Scottish Good Templary and ac-
tive in the administration of its laws and
principles, his loss will be severely felt
upon both sides of the Atlantic. It was
the writer's privilege to meet Mr..
Sutherland at the session of the Supreme
Lodge held at Boston in 1895, where his
sturdy, earnest and aggressive character
made its imprint upon our mind, more
so than any other single individual at
tendant. We called upon Mr.. Suther-
land at his home in Edinburgh three
years ago and had very profitable inter-
view He leaves a widow and one
daughter, Miss Agnes Sutherland, the
latter strong right arm to Scottish
temperance work.
The movement to amend the licensing
laws of England and Wales had right of
way at the opening of the English par
Lament. A bill embodying this princi-
pie and meeting the demands of the re-
form interests will hold first place in the
legislation of the session.

student of the liquor question, has con-
scented to participate in the Saratoga an

For the first time in the history of the
order the passwords have gone out in
another language than English. The
head of the order, Edw. Wavrinsky, is
an enthusiastic advocate of Esperanto

storm of protests in some quarters, no
less a parsonage than Joseph Mains

the introduction of a password in
Esperanto would be resented by the

manner I. C. T. Wavrinsky points out
that 1--WE Scandinavians for thirty years
have had to translate the English pass
words with more or less difficulty, as the

language. How could I think that any

Three TEACHERS
ARE ELECTED
AT REGULAR MEETING OF BOARD
OF EDUCATION TUESDAY EVEN.
ING THREE NEW TEACHERS
ARE ELECTED TO TEACH NEXT
YEAR-ONE HIGH SCHOOL AND
TWO COMMON SCHOOL IN
STRUcTORS.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the board of education Tuesday even
ing three new teachers were elected
to positions in the Bismarck schools.
They are Miss Emma J. Burke of Val.
ley City, who was appointed to teach
the fifth and sixth grades; Miss Boy
son of Steele, first grade, and either
Miss A. Grace Hunter of Lake City,
Mimi, or Miss Brenneke of Madison,
Wis, to teach French and German at
the high school. The latter two will
be communicated with by wire, and
on their respective answers will hinge
their appointment.
Several bills were passed for school
supplies, but when it came to the mat
ter of paying for the Encyclopedia
Americana, which was sent Prof.
Moore on approval last December, a
jar was apparent. Comment on the
handling of the books since their ar
rival was INDUCED in by Messrs Mock
Ter, Moore and Falconer. 1t was fin
ally decided to refer the bill of some
$T5 back to the purchasing committee,
and whether the books will remain in
the possession of the school is ques-
ton.
Mr. Falconer made a motion that
the committee on buildings be author.
lied to advertise for bids for the
much needed repairs to both school
buildings. The motion was carried.
The matter OF providing fire escapes
at both the schools was also referred
to the same committee with instruc-
lions to report at the next regular
meeting of the board, which will occur
on Tuesday, June 6.
A. F. Mcdonald, chief of the
fire department, was present, and
spoke a few words in favor of placing
fire extinguishers, of which he is the
agent, in the school buildings. The
matter was referred to the committee
on buildings and grounds.
The board then adjourned.

o'clock Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald and

Anna Bennett under the hill, in re:
Spouse to telephone summons, and
returned with two soldiers, L. Nc
Adams and Henry G. Virgin by name,
who were found huddled up in cor
ner of one of the upstairs rooms in
the Bennett domicile. They were
taken TO the county jail, where they
were lodged for the night.
They tell a strange story. They say
that they spent the afternoon and
evening in fishing by the river bridge.
AS they reached the western outskirts
of the city they were approached by a
girl walking along the track, who told
them to go down to the house and
wait for her. They admit having
climbed in the window, it seems, fail.

That is their story.
It seems that two of the landladies
with their gentlemen escorts came tt

shows, leaving the thiNl to watch
things" AS they were returning tc
their domiciles they ~oticed brilliant
lights streaming from the house. Az
they had left the houses in darkness
they were much frightened. 1t seems
that at the house of Doris Miller the

Eneland's First Bank Note Forqer.

Ensland's First Bank Note Foreer.
Whether the trick Of forging notes
was INDUCED in within the limits of
China, Venice, Spain and other coun-
tries where banks first had their exist
ence history does not record. But the
man who first forged a note of the
Bank of England was thereby, to quote
phrase too often misapplied, damn
ed to everlasting fame" It was in
1858, sixty-four years after the Bank
of England was founded, that Richard
William Waugh, linen draper, of Stat
ford was most unhappily led by min
gled vanity and affection into this
crime. He was then passionately in
love with a young lady Of his city,
who, however, would not listen to his
pleadings because, as she frankly told
him, his worldly wealth fell short of
her desires. He, therefore, forged a
number Of bank notes, which he show
ed to her to prove that he was very
much richer than she had supposed.
Had he not allowed the avaricious
young lady to handle the notes all
might have been well, but she alb
stracted one of them and passed it.,
with speedy calamitous results. Waugh
was arrested, his plea Of his lack Of
dishonest intent in making the notes
was not allowed, and he was con-
demned to death and hanged.

MORE BOOZE WAS TAKEN
CHIEF OF POLICE WING UN-

PIG ON A SMALL SCALE AT
RESIDENCE OF BILLY COLEMAN
ON TENTH STREET.

Tuesday afternoon Chief of Police
Wing had occasion to be in the south
eastern part of the city. While pass
ing in front of the residence of Viii.
liam Coleman, 800 Tenth street, he
noticed man named George Lewis
emerging from the place with a grain
sack under his arm. The queer
shaped bundle excited the suspicious
of Wing, and upon investigation he
found the sack to contain five quart
bottles of whisky. He then deter
mined straightway on mode of pro-
cedure and hurried to the city to Sc
cure search warrant. Wing was
unable to find B. Anger, the assistant
states attorney, so he returned to the
Coleman residence, and told Coleman
that if he was allowed to search the
place and confiscate all contraband
goods there would be no further trou
BILE. Coleman invited the chief in
with the result that IL bottles of beer
four quarts of whisky and two bar
rels of empty beer bottles were found
A dray was requisitioned and the
liquid refreshments and dead ones
were carted away to Judge Gilbert's
Office.
