Lee McCuen Surprised

A "friend" of the parties writes us
that Mrs. Lee McCuen OF Cass county
and the H. Ii. Club together with other
friends greatly surprised Mr.. McCuen
on his 50th birthday, March 81, 1909.
Just before noon they appeared with
we'll filled baskets containing deli
cious menu such as the Five Mile
Grove ladies are noted for preparing.
The table was neatly arranged and
decorated with boquets OF pink carna-
tions, pink roses and pretty ferns.
Pink and green napkins we're also
used because they represented the col.
ors of the club. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Joyce of Massena were among the
number present, and as that was her
birthday she received her share OF at
tention. Both were showered with a
large number of beautiful post cards,
all leaving remembrances of the day.
Late in the afternoon the guests de-
parted all hoping that Mr., McCuen
might see fifty more such happy birth
days.

Should Have Her Rights

Ma wants her rights; she says there
amt no more reason, why she
shouldn't vote and go out joinin'
lodges, too, and practisin' to ride the
goat; she says she's the equal OF the
greatest, wisest man on earth, and
that she's robbed OF something which
the good Lord gave her at birth. Pa
says he hopes she'll get the rights she
seems TO think she ought to get; IL he
could give them they'd be got without
more play, you bet. I'D give you
ANYTHING says pa, In tones that
make you think he's sad, ito keep you
quiet for awhile" And then gee whiz
but ma gets mad. -Kiser.

klMBALLTON GOOD STATION
Thirty Car Loads In and FOrty.iiye Out
During the Month OF March

Kimballton station on the Atlantic,
Northern and Southern Railway Is a
good one and is handling lots OF bust
ness. The passenger ticket sales for
month OF March amounted to $llS.02
and IL is safe to figure that as many
moredollars we're spent at other points
Tor tickets leading into Kimballton.
The freight handled is also surprise
there being thirty full car loads lots
billed la aud forty -five billed out. This
does not include local freight, or the
freight in less than car load lots, and
there was a lot shipped in this way.
The cars shipped in consisted OF two of
hay, three OF coal seven of lumber,
one OF posts, four of cement, one OF
salt. one -four, two of brick, six of
sand, three of shingles. Those shipped
out were two cars emigrant goods, two
OF corn, one OF oats, one OF shi ngles,
ten OF cattle, twenty-nine cars OF hogs.
When tits considered that this amount
OF stuff was handled In car load lots
at one station IL Is easy to see why the
management OF the road has now been
forced TO add TO its equipment-Th

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION

The two principal bills before the
legislature we're the Rankin bill for the
state marshal law and the Meredith
resolution for a re-submission of the
prohibitory amendment; but both were
defeated. The death OF the former was
probably caused by the general oppo-
sition that exists in the minds of the
people to anything that savors OF
state constabulary. And the latter to
fear that its adoption would again
bring the question into politics that
would imperil the success ofthe major
ity party as it did twenty years ago.
The desire to see better enforcement of
the law as it is today had a strong in
iuence and by some was made an
excuse for voting against the other
measures proposed. Much has been
done in the last year for better en-
forcement of the mulct law In cities
where its violation was the rule instead
of the exception. The Cosson bills
will greatly strengthen the hands OF
the attorney general in his effort to
see that all the laws are enforced in
every county in the state. IL the results
are what their friends hope and expect
the people will be slow intheir demand
for an amendment, but unless there
shall be vigorous and successful
statewide effort made in the enforce
ment Of the temperance laws the peo-
pie will urge a resubmission with such
vehemence as to make 1t necessary for
the Legislature to listen and grant their
wish.

What has become of Pullman's
horse show? Other towns are
planning fora big show of horses
during the next few weeks and
Pullman ought to join, if it does
not lead the procession. No
other section of the northwest

man and it is up to our business
men to arrange for a horse show.
The Herald would suggest that
an early date in April be fixed
for that purpose and arrange
ments be made to have the big
gest horse show ever held in the

Pullman and Whitman county
have met a serious loss in the
death of Hon. L. M. Ringer, one
of the pioneers who did much to
make of this the greatest agri-
cultural country in the state. Mr..
Ringer belonged strictly to that
grand old class of southern, gen.
tlemen, whose word, once given,
was as good as a bond. He was
a man of energy, uprightness
and far sightendess. Coming to
this county when it was a vast
wilderness, his prophetic eye
saw the grand future before it
and he began to work to make
it a great empire. His record in
the early legislation of the state
is one of which any one might
feel proud. Mr.. Ringers long
residence it his county has been
a continued life of honesty of
purpose, open heartedness and
kindness. He made a fortune
and lost much of it through his
kindness to friends and his in
ability to refuse credit to his
neighbors during the hard times
when they were unable to pay
their obligations to him. 1t is
such men as Mr.. Ringer who
build up a country and make it
a desirable place in which to live
and few men have passed from
Whitman coutny whose death
would be more generally or deep
ly regretted than that of the
Honorable L. M. Ringer.

The disgraceful stand taken by
the saloon bunch" in the legis-
lature must bring the blush of
shame to the voters who elected
them to misrepresent the dis
tricts from which they come.
That every line of honest legisla-
ton should be held up by q SEN
ators who are owned, controlled
and labelled by the saloons is a
disgrace to any state. That the
saloons stand for crime, dis
honesty and everything that is
bad is shown by the fact that
the saloon bunch" as they are
rightly called. have opposed
every measure favoring common
decency and capped the climax
by refusing to allow the senate
to investigate charges of graft
made and almost proven against
certain state officers. Certainly
the love of wrong and the desire
to foster, pepetuate and increase
evil governs the saloon element
and contols those who are owned
by it and are its servants. Act
ing Governor Hay has shown
himself a man worthy the con-
fdence and trust of the people
and his stand against the saloon
bunch" has won friends for him.
