If we can do nothing more we

Paint it on the sign boards all.

Paint 1T on each cliff and tree
That all passing may see,
Where there's drink there's dam

Paint it on each grassy mound
Where in each graveyard rum
slain are found,
Paint it on each telegraph pole
May it go like electricity to the soul
Where there's drink there's

Paint it on our ships that sail
Borne along by storm and gale
Paint it large in letters plain
Over ever land and main
where there's drink there's

Paint it on our nations laws
Blotting sout the lisners clause
In the heart of every man
On the laws of every land,

MAJOR LANDON.
Editor of the Hustler.

Editor of the Hustler.
Dear Sir:-Will you kindly give
me space in your paper to say a
few words to my friends in behalf
of Major Henry A. Landon of
Chatham Co. as candidate for the
office of Corporation Commission
er? l am aware of the fact that
there are great many Democrats
in Henderson county who have no
personal knowledge of any of the
candidates for this important office
which Mr.. E. C Beddingfield is
voluntarily giving up. It is to
such men that l wish to give tie
benefit of my knowledge of Major
Landon in order that they may
vote more intelligently at the Pri-
maries. From a personal know
ledge of Major Landon. l can
say that he is a man of the highest
type of character and culture; and
he is eminently fitted to discharge.
the duties of the office in ques-
tion-having the judicial mind
of a lawyer and representing no
particular class, besides being adj
mirably qualified to fill the posit-
ion acceptably, Major Landon
is a man who deserves recognition
from the Democrats of the state
for the faithful service he has
rendered the party and the state.
Major Landon is a gentle
man, a democrat, a confederate
soldier. What better credentials
could be demanded?
With best wishes for your paper
and all my friends of Henderson
and with the hope that they will
give Major Landon a good vote,
| am,
Very truly yours.

An EARNEST APPEAL.

Dear Editor: VIII you please
allow me space in your valuable
paper to say a few words to it's
readers on Prohibition. The time
is fast approaching when this
question is to be settled and the
destiny of your community may
be hanging on your influence.
Let us think seriously. Are
we using to our judgement our
best influence or by our neglect
using our influence against it.
Rom. 13 chap. 8 v. lowe no
man anything bnt to love one
another; forshe that loveth an
other hath fulfilled the law"
We find in this same chap.
THAT we shall love u neighbor
as ourselves. The night is far
spent and the day is at hand:
Let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness and put on the
armor of light" Let us earnestly
ask God to help us put on this
armor in using his name, our in
fluence to the uplifting Of his
cause, that name may be found
in ''rioting and drunkenness" We
are taught in the 18th, verse, not
to make provisions for the flesh
to fulfill the lusts thereof. Those
of us whom Christ has enIighten-
ed by his blessed spirit, that we
may overcome this evil. Will we
work earnestly in aiding others.
] Just for a moment let us think
what a grand country this would
be if it were not for drink, Think
of the crime which brings its
suffering and expense upon the
country. If it were not for drink
thousands of wretched novels
would be happy homes. Multi
itudes of miserable people would
be in comfort, myrids of hopeless
children would be full of the prom

FOR State
bali. LEAGUE:

John H. Rafferty,, editor Of The
Treasure State, makes timely sug-
gestion that a state league of baseball
clubs be organized in Montana and
presents some forcible arguments in
favor Of the proposition as follows:
There should be Montana state
league Of baseball clubs. Whether It'll
should be made up of professional CT
amateur talent is question that Woul
decide itself. But the principal towns
of the state, Butte, Helena, Great
Falls, Billings, Missoula, Anaconda
Townsend, and perhaps others, should
form league with the three-fold pur-
pose of promoting the national game,
OF advertising the cities represented
and OF fostering the interurban feeling
Which goes SO far to making for the
solidarity of the commonwealth. There
IS nothing more Wholesome than the
friendly rivalry Of cities whether in1

there was no roWdism, no wrangling.
Every town in the state would be bst-
ter with such neighborly interchanpes
and the public at large would become
emulous in their hospitality as well
as IN their sporting rivalry. The per-
sonnet of the Helena Athletic club
does honor to the town, and if the
other cities of Montana can send as
capable and as hearty teams as that
which represented Anaconda last Sun
DAY there will be no lack of cordial
support and enthusiastic approval on
the part of the fans of the CAPITAL
city. Meanwhile the daily papers
would be doing an indirect but Nigh
ty service if they would publish the
standing and averages of the clubs

The REGULAR
ARMY MAN

He amt no gold laced belvidere
To sparkle in the sun,
He don't parade with gay cockade
Or posies in his gun.
He amt no pretty soldier boy,
So lovely, spick and span,
He wears crust of tan and dust,
The regular army man.
The marching, parching
Pipe clay starching, =
Regular army man.
He amt at home in Sunday school,
Or yet at social tea,
And on the day he gets his pay
He's apt to spend it free.
He amt no temperance advocate
He likes to fill the can,
He's kind of rough and maybe tough,
This regular army man.
The rearing, tearing,
Sometimes swearing,
Regular army man.
No state will call him noble son.
He amt no lady's pet,
But let row start anyhow
They'll send for him you let.
He don't cut any ice at all
In fashions social plane.
He gets the job to face the mob
The regular army man.
The milling, drilling,
Made for killing,
Regular army man.
There amt no tears shed for him
When he goes off to war,
lie gets no speech, or prayful preach
FroHl mayor or governor.
He packs his little knapsack up
And trots off in the van,
To start the fight and start it right,
The regular army man.
The rafting, battling,
Cots Or gatling,
| Regular army man.
He makes no fuss about the job,
/ He don't talk big and brave,
He goes into the fight to win
| Or help fill up the grave.
He amt no mammals darling,
| But lie does the best he can,
And he's the chap that wins the scrap
| The regular army man,
The handy, dandy,
Cool and sandy,
| Regular army man.
The above lines were contributed
| to the Herald several months ago by
an ardent admirer of the Regular
! Army Man.
