THAT GOOD CANDY!
Minneapolis, Mimi,
January 2, 1908.
Friend

We received your box of candy in
time for Christmas. To say it was fine
and that it was very much enjoyed is
expressing it mildly. 1t was the best
candy we have ever tasted. The choco-
late and bon bon creams were soft and
delicious flavors perfectly lovely.
The card in the box says they were all
made in Webster. If Webster has
candy factory which manufactures such
delicious sweet meats, our old home is
certainly to be congratulated, as we can
buy nothing here, in the city, to COM
pare with them in flavor and freshness.
Wishing you, and all our friends, a
happy and prosperous year in 1908.
Yours lovingly,
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-01-09

ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAKES A RULING
Inc Use of Stickers Allowed in
Primary Election
VOL. XIV.

You ask whether in my opin-
ION voter at the direct primary
election can vote for any candidates
other than those whose names ap-
pear on the printed ballot, and can
a voter use a stiCker' or write in
the name of any man on the ballot?
In an opinion rendered Nov. |, ,
1907 we held in this office that the
primary act provides il various
sections that the primary election
shall be held in all respects as a
general election and that except as
otherwise provided the general ell
ection laws, as far as the provisions
thereof are applicable, shall con-
troll.
Under the general election law
stiCkers may be pasted upon the Of
fetal ballot or other names written
in, which names may be voted for
and counted. The returns are
likewise required to be made out in
accordance with the general cleo
ton laws. 1t is evidently the pur
pose of the primary law to obtain
the fullest expression of the voters
as to their choice of candidates,
and it seems that purpose is sub
served BY allowing the same priv
ilege to the voters at the primary
as is accorded to the voters at the
general election, wherein the right
is given to insert name and vote
therefor, although such name is
not regularly printed upon the bal
lot. 1t seems that such provision
of the general election law may
properly be said to be applicable III
the primary election, and by refer
cncc is made a part thereof. In
deed, this seems to be the general
doctrine of elections.
1t has been well said: That III
those states which have adopted
the Australian ballot system the OBJ
iect of nominations is merely to
determine what names shall appear
ON the official ballot as candidates
for the different Offices. No rcstrlc-
ton there by placed on the right
Of the voter to cast his ballot tor
any person whom he may favor,
though not a nominee; for were 1t
otherwise the system would be III
violation of the constitutional rights
of the voter
If anyone should happen to DC
nominated at the primary who had
not paid his fec he would not, I'M
der section 70 of the primary law
be entitled to have his name PRINT
cd mon the official ballot tor the
General election until his fee was
paid. In the event of noll1lha-
ton by the use of stickcrs / am OF

PRESS CENSORSHIP
EQUAL TO RUSSIA
Have We Come to Complete
Dictatorship in America?

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Sena-
tor Penrose has introduced bill to
provide for an absolute press cen
sorship, in the hands of the post
master general.
The bill provides:
That section 1895 of the Revised
Statute be, and the same is hereby
amended by adding: And when
any issue of any periodical has been
declared non-mailable by the Post
Office Department, the periodical
may be excluded from second class
mail privileges at the discretion of
the postmaster general.
The section of the revised stat
ute amended by the bill relates to
obscene books, pamphlets, papers
or other matter. But the amend
ment is not confined to such publ
cations; it covers all publications,
without reference TO whether they
contain obscene or indecent matter
It gives the postmaster general
arbitrary power over the public
press OF the United States.
Penrose will say that his purpose
was merely to give the postmaster
general power to exclude from the
mails vicious publications. This
power, however, the postmaster
general already has, so that the
Penrose proposition must have a
deeper purpose.
1t can be seen that with a post
master general as would be selected
BY the corporations and their gov
eminent, law of this character
could be used to suppress or harass
newspapers which opposed their
schemes.
The following named senators
are members OF the postoffice and
post road committee:
Boise Penrose, Of Pennsylvania.
J. P. Dolloiver, OF Iowa.
Redheld Proctor, of Vermont.
J. c. Burrows, of Michigan.
A. S. Clay OF Georgia.
J. P. Taliaferro, OF Florida.
W. NJ. Crane, Of Massachusetts,.
7. H. Barter, of Montana.
Charles Dick, OF Ohio.
Jonathan Bourne, Of Oregon.
Robt. l.. Owens, Of Oklahoma.
+. y. Simons Of North Carolina.
Nathan b. Scott, OF West Vir-
ginia.
Ibis committee recommended
senate Bill No. 1918, which gives
the postmaster general absolute and
arbitrary power over every publ
cation in the United States. The
appeal is not alone in its interpre-
tation Of the meaning Of this bill.
From circular issued by the
National Agricultural Press associ-
alton l quote the following para
graph:
No provision is made to safe
guard the rights Of publishers;
their presses may be stopped, their
publications wiped out, their prop
city destroyed, without a hearing
without a jury, trial, without any
recourse whatever, if this amend
ment is adopted.

PAPER FOR VARIOUS ROOMS,
Wall Decorations to Add to the Cozl.
ness of the Home.

Light but not bright should be the
guiding note when selecting the papers
with which to decorate the walls of
your home.
Where there is light there is always
cheerfulness which nothing else can
produce, but brightness of colors soon,
er or later will affect the nerves.
Where the rooms are small a small
figured paper should be chosen, as this
will make the rooms appear larger.
and vice versa with the rooms which
appear too large.
Here are few suggestions: For the
vestibule, a grove-like effect; for the
nails, plain felt paper or tapestry de
sign; for the bedrooms, a Powered de.
sign, with lighter or darker body &C.
cording to the amount of light ad.
mitted to room.
For the parlor a quite decorative de.
sign, chosen with judgment to match
furniture; for sitting room and dining
room, arbor or orchard effects are eff.
fect1ve and becoming; bathroom, kitch.
en- and laundry are best painted.
One paper should not be placed over
another, as disease germs breed there
easily, and the thickness causes the
paper to fall from the walls.

GATOR ON THE RAMPAGE,
Edifying Story That Is Vouched for by

yes said the fisherman, "the man
had f1shed all the forenoon, an hadn't
got nibble, so he took another swal-
Ter out the jug, pulled off his boots, an
lay down on. the river bank an went
to sleep. AS soon as he went to
snorin' good, a alligator that had been
watchin' him all the mornin' crawled
up an swallered his boots, likewise
the jug, with bout half gallon in it,
l reckon. The cork came out, and, Of
course, the gator got the full benefit
o the whisky, which so turned its
head that it dashed the water, with its
tail till the river was a foamin' mass,
after which it crawled up on the bank
agin an made desp'rit efforts to climb
trees an turn double somersaults, an
do all manner of impossible things!"
Why didn't it swallow the fisher
man, instead Of his boot?" some one
asked.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
Iaxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and it's component

that my physician ordered mo more
coffee
''He knew he was right and he knew
knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior
to this our family had tried Postum,
but disliked it, because, as we learned
later, it was not made right.
Determined this time to give Post
UNI a fair trial, I prepared it accord
ing to directions on the pkg.-that is,
boiled it Is minutes after boiling COM
menced, obtaining dark brown liquid
with a rich snappy flavor similar to
coffee. When cream and sugar were
added, it was not only good but de-
licious.
Noting it's beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted it-all
except my husband, who would not ad-
NIT that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which drank
Postum two or three times a day,
when, to my surprise, my husband
said: I have decided to drink Postum.

have such fine color-that I propose
to give credit where credit is due, And

RECIPE FROM NEW ENGLAND.
Salt Goldfish Dinner a Great Delicaey
of That Section.

AS served at one of New York's
most noted hostelries the following
arrangement that has Goldfish as a
foundation is well worth sampling and
passing on. The fish itself, to begin
with, is of the best quality, thick and
delicate. This is boiled on a fish tray
or In cloth, then taken up and placed
IN the center Of hot platter Over it
is poured g. generous quantity of rich
white sauce into which the riced yoIk
of hard boiled egg has been stirred.
A little fine minced parsley is now
sprinkled over the fish and sauce,
while around the edge of the platter
are ranged slices Of boiled beets,
boiled carrots, two or three small
boiled onions and small boiled pota
toes. A sauceboat passed with the
service of fish contains finely diced
fat salt pork with some Of its own fat.
Tiny pickles accompany the dish also.
1t goes without saying that the dish
should be served very hot.

Do Not knead Bread.

Many people do not make their own
bread because they cannot knead it
properly, not knowing that a superior
quality of bread can be made without
this labor. Mix your sponge. in the
usual way and when it rises stir in
with a wire fork enough -four to roll.
First flour the bowl and dip your chop
ping knife into flour; chop the bread
sponge by drawing the knife through
1t, but do not pound it, adding more
flour as needed. When it has been
cut so that pieces are about a half
inch square put together smoothly
enough for each loaf and put into PAM

You certainly were careful" agreed

ried?"
