How Prohibition Works.

Professor Hugo Munsterbcr~, of
Harvard University, expresses his
views on Prohibition, in .lyug dn}
Nary. of New York: Prohibition
puts a premium on the systematic
violation of law and produces Il form
of corruption which is still worse
than the corruption which ilradiates
from the licensed saloon. Farther,
reinforced drinking in its most mis-
erabie and dangerous form. The
moderate drinker is cut off. while the
immodcrate drinkcr is created. 1t

kind of whisky. 1t eliminates every
sound supervision and makes min

sober efforts for education and re

vile and operctta have overwhelmed
the serious drama; as the cheap
magazine has demolished the book
store; as the yellow press has cap

other forms the appeal to superficial
judgment has been successful. Then.
of course, will come the reaction and

Approach of Christmas.

Nearing the last days of November
IS startling reminder that Christ
mas is impending. /, personally,
have not seen Il Christmas number of
the aggressive dailies yet, though
probably some readers of the STAND
ARD have been so fOrtunatc-or un-
fortunate as to have already en-
countered a specimen Of that unrel-
sOnable travesty, the Christmas num-
Der issued in November. But there
are many other signs and portents
which go to show that the alleged fes-
tive season is salready in Il sense knock
ing at our very doors. There are the
Christmas eXploiters, for instance,
one which provides annually Il list of
customers with the harmless but
necessary goose or turkey, and the
other which, run by the presumably
benevolent saloon-keeper, will appear
soon after Thanksgiving. who sup
plies the not quite so harmless,
though possibly necessary, Christ
mas and New Year ; punch and Tom
andJerry. Both of these doubtless
worthy institutions have made their
on time. and though they
are not quite as sure poetic signs of
Christmas as the sadly falling leaf
or the "slowly-dying year about
which the sonneteer rhapsodies, they
are certainly as reliable and. possibly,
quite us important.

appointed his son Johan as the repre-

IT is now apparent that the tariff
bill as it will leave the senate will not
be in accord with the promises of the
republican platform, it will not be in
accord with the great mass of repub-
licans throughout the country; it will
not be in accord with the people ir
respective of party and moreover it
will be in opposition to the expressed
views of President Taft often public
ly expressed. This being the case

hope he will. Better have the pres

while a new law might wear a long

will shut his eyes and ears to the
desires of the moneyed and manufac.
turing interests who are fixing the
schedules in the Payne Aldrich bill

In the state of Kansas where the
centralizers have secured control of
the cream product, the average price
paid per pound fol butterfat in 1908
was Is cents. In Minnesota where

TEACHERS OF AGRICULTURE

Teachers trained in the modern sci
ence of agriculture are essentials in
the movement for extending farm edu-
cation. This movement has taken a
firm grip on Minnesota, to Judge by
the large number of towns applying
for state aid under the Putnam bill.
The new law grants aid to ten schools
only, and requires school district to
fusnish buildings and five acres of
land for the agricultural department
of the school, before the state will aid
in its equipment and maintenance.
The state high school board has des
ignated four of the schools and has
thirty applications for the other six
places.
Judging by the rivalry for these
first schools, there will be special
training in agriculture given in half
the counties of the state within three
or four years. 1t is just as we'll 10
have limit on the number of these
schools at first for the problem will be
to find suitable teachers. They are
not numerous in Minnesota at this
time. Graduates of the school of ag-
riculture in the short cours- have suf-
ficient special training, but only aca-
demic work in other lines, and no in,
struction in pedagogy. There is merit
in the suggestion of G. O. Schultz,
superintendent of public instruction
who would have normal agricultur-
al school in connection with the
courses in agriculture at st. Anthony

1t was about 60 years ago that

For few years he danced, sang
and played the role of an Irish

In 1875 he appeared in the

own making, and in SO doing Gre

enlarged and made over into "The

NE WYORK, Feb. 18.-Broad-

an irrepressible child.
In this way it sides with her
mother, who, heavily bediamonded
and portly, usually sits in box
and watches Elsie much like a

Just now Elsie Is making fun of

from the plot to be naughty to
Miss Barrymore.
Some Of Miss Barrymore S
friends have said it was shocking,
but that didn't stop thousands
from going to see Elsie's imita-
lions.
Elsie initiates Miss Barrymore
to the life. She caricatures her
queer, different ways of speaking;
draws her breath through her low
err teeth; kicks her long skirts out
in front so that she can walk, and,
