Ingenious Dumb Creatures.

A naturalist, who has been studying
the constructive instinct in birds and
animals, finds them almost as ingen-
ious as man. The beaver not only
burrows, but also builds hut of sticks
and plasters the structure with mud

serves as a store for fat to tide the
animal over the winter The flamingo
builds nest of mud. Harvest mice
make a spherical nest of grass.

Ancestry.

There may be, and there often Is,
indeed, a regard for ancestry which
nourishes only a weak pride; as there
is also a care for posterity, which only
DISCUSSES a habitual ayarice, or hides
the workings of low and groveling
vanity. But there is also moral and
philosophical respect for our ancestors
which elevates the character and i'm
proves the heart Darrell Webster.

MINNESOTA'S PLATFORM

The Prohibition party of Minnesota in this year 1908
submits the following considerations and platform:
Whereas the administration of government is of
necessity by political party, and
Whereas each distinctive policy requires party de-
voted thereto, and
Whereas the ruling parties through recreancy the
fundamental principles of have jeopardzed
costly patrimony have largely lost the priceless
boon of sefgovernment with its rights and blessings, and
Whereas they have given to the greed and
rapacity of the saloon, and
Whereas, in the train of great evils which sap and
mine cherished institutions, there is this one,
stands fostered feared protected and favored, and
Whereas this licensed saloon is the parent and
of graft the worst of trusts the outrageous
of monopoie and the destroyer of prime
the citizen and the home, and
Whereas the world today in order that government
of the people, by the people and for the people, should
perish from the earth," seeks and demands party
pledged and competent sefgovernmen and
destroy his arbitrator, the liquor traffic.
Therefore, be it resolved and declared, by the Prohbi
ton party of the of Minnesota in convention as
sembled at Minneapolis June s, 19os:
D That seek the control of the government of
this commonwealth.
ca That demand the total Prohibition of the
beverage liquor traffic.
(3) That appreciate and support local prohibtory
measures regarding them incidents and expedents of
advance but incompetent to the fuller purpose of the
reform.
(4) That favor the Prohibition of child labor.
(5) That the extension and improvement of
agricultural and industrial schools and that instruction
shall include Self-government, temperance and morality
(6) That favor and that commend the control
of corporations that severay favor tariff reform by
permanent commissions; parcels post postal banking old

The North Carolina Vote

There is little to doubt that the primary

significant of the strength of the Prohibition
in the south than the elections that have been held
elsewhere. The conservative spirit strong in North
Carolina today it in colonial times hence, unlike
other states the North Carolina legislature refused
pass statutory Prohibition law without the sanction of
a popular vote.
North Carolina spoke through their ballots and the
orty of 5000 for Prohibition greater than the most
sangine advocates of the expected for they did
not look for majority of more than 1000 to 100000
Therefore the significance of the North Carolina primary

narrated how zone young man in the employ of
the committee" had left position that paid him
$125 month to work for the Prohibition party,
for practically nothing, when delegate, rush

tremendous applause

he would say, "a section of his endless ad-
DRESS" "a Ride on the Water Wagon" From
the beginning to the conclusion of the address the
audience kept up almost continuous roll of
applause. Few speakers who have ever been
heard in this city have received such tokens of
approval from their listeners

Remarkable Campaign Concluded in Far North
west-More than $4,000 Raised
SEATTLE, WASH, June 10 Especial cor
respondence) oliver w. Stewart has closed his
twenty-five day campaign in this state During
that time he visited twenty three places and
spoke thirty-two times raising for the state
committee $311O.57. This showing is the more
remarkable in view of the fact that Mr.. Stewart
was following Clinton N. Howard, who, visit
ing the same places short time before, had
raised four thousand dollars for the state COM
mittee. These sums are in addition to the fees
paid to the two speakers, which were provided
by funds raised before the meetings we're held
Mr.. Stewart was in Garfield last Thursday
and spoke three times, giving address at
eleven o'clock in the morning, again in the after
noon, and a third address in the evening. A
county convention was held and all the meetings
were largely attended and the people were
thusiastc. Their contributions amounted to
$113.33.
Friday afternoon the speaker was in Starbucl
for few hours between trains and delivered
an address in the Methodist church. That even
ing he spoke to a large audience in Pomeroy,
and the people at the close gave 5000. At that
place Mr.. Stewart divided his time with Mr..
Goodyear of Cofax who is one of the candidates
for the Democratic nomination in Congress. Mr..
Goodyear was announced to speak at the same
time, and the people of the community asked
that they be given an opportunity to hear both
men by having the meetings held at the same
place.
Saturday evening fine meeting held
at Dayton, where Mr. Stewart spoke again
Sunday morning, both meetings being in the
Christian church The collection amounted to
$5135
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Stewart went to Walla
Walla for one of the greatest meetings of the
entire campaign. The large Christian church
was packed to overlooking, and the speech was
punctuated repeatedly with prolonged applause.
The interest of the people was also shown by
cash collection at the close which amounted to
$11O.A
Thus closed the greatest campaign Mr.. Stew
art has ever conducted in this state. The state
committee is endeavoring to perfect arrange
r,ents to have him return about next September
for another tour of the state.
