that run through cold water. In this
manner the steam Is r~econverted into
water, but the process or passing
through the la vender has extracted the
oil. which floats Oh the surface OF the
water as It runs into glass jars down
below. These jars have sprouts In the
center, thus enabling the water to run
out while the oil collects above the
level Of the exit. In this the hrst
stage the oil Is of a brownish blue
tint, and 1t now has to be refined by
passing once more through water.
Thus all impurities are removed. and
the oil runs out white, save for a very
pale blue color similar TO that observed
in paraffin. Three pounds OF Oil VIII

THE FEAR OF A BRAVE MAN.

General Frederick d. Grant, who is
to lead the great temperance parade
in Chicago, September rs, speaks in
no uncertain fashion as to the habit
of moderate drinking. In a recent
address he said:
Tell young men that General Grant
has not drunk a drop Of liquor for
eighteen years, because he is afraid
to drink it. ] tried to drink with ex-
IRENE moderation, because I knew
that alcohol Is the worst poison that
a man can take into his system, but
| found that it was an absolute i'm
possibility to drink moderately. Be
cause moderate drinking Is a practi-
cal impossibility | became III alb
solute teetotaler-a crank if you
please. | will not allow it even in
my house. Drink Is the greatest
curse, because practically all crime
and all disaster are the result of it.
Ninety-fve per cen OF the assertions
and acts OF lawlessness in the army
are due to drink. If | could by offer
ing my body as a sacrifice, free this
country from the fell cancer, the
demon drink, I'd thank the Almighty
for the privilege of doing it. If / had
the greatest appointive power in the
country, no man would get even the
smallest appointment from me unless
he showed proof of his absolute te-
totalism. AS it is, my own appoint
ees, the members OF my staff, not one
OF them touches a drop. They know
better"
1t takes a fine type of courage to
admit it is afraid" The cheap
spectacular sort, poses as being alb
solutely fearless of God, man and the
devil. The bravery OF General Grant
Is of a different character. 1t has
In 1t a moral quality that creates a
wholesome fear Of doing anything to
endanger health or character, such as
moderate drinking. 1t is a bravery
that Is not only adequate to face with
out finching the enemy ON the bat
tlefeld, II reed be, but Is equally
ready to meet the criticisms and
sneers of his associates in the army,
many of whom are bitterly antagonis-
tic to his total abstinence views. 1t
Is the kind Of courage that prompts
its possessor to- deliberately and pub
licly ally himself with so-called ex-
tremists and "cranks" for the sake of
preserving his own manhood and
helping his fellows to do the same.

ATTORNEYS MUST WORK..

The supreme court, in an opinion
by Whiting, In the case of State VS..
Harry McCallum, from Butte county,
rendered a decision, which, while ii
does not affect the average individual
except as a litigant in court, does af-
feet the practice Of a number Of at
tOrneys of the state says a Pierre
dispatch. Quite a number Of the
members of the bar have taken mp a
practice Of securing a certification Of
the circuit judges to the stenograph-
er's transcript of a case and sending
it to the supreme court as a bill of
exceptions" This practice means in
effect that the judges Of the supreme
court are asked to- wade through all
the superfuous matter in such a
transcript, to find out just what
points are covered in the exceptions,
and they now decide that they will
no longer accept such a record in the
supreme court. but that a bill of ex-
ceptions must be such in fact, with
the attorney himself doing the pick
ing out" Or to sum it up literally,
the decision means that in the future
lawyers who have made this their
practice, will have to do the work
themselves, instead Of sliding it
along to the members of the SUI
preme court to do for them.

DENATURED ALCOHOL
II Is Finally Ascertained That Un.
taxed Spirits for Motive Power
Cannot Be Profitably Made In
the United States.

Washington. July 10. Seventeen
inspectors and four revenue agents
on the denatured-alcohol rolls Of the
internal-revenue bureau have been
dismissed because their services are
no longer needed. 1t is explained
that the expectation that denatured
alcohol would make rapid strides in
supplanting gasoline as motive
power for small farm-engines, auto
mobiles. ETC., has been disappoint-
ing: First, because the engines now
in use are not adapted to alcohol.
Second. because of its comparative
ly high cost of manufacture by pres
ent methods. So far as any direct
benefit to the farmers Of the coun-
try is concerned. the removal of the
tax of Sl.l0 per gallon on denatured
alcohol has been, up to this time,
inconsequential. The total produc-
ton of denatured alcohol in the Uni
ted States during 1908 was 3. 1921 .45l
wine gallons. and in 1909 up to July
LIST about 4 500 gallons.

Another horrible outrage has beer
discovered during the tariff discus.
sion in the congress. A tax was put
on tobacco during the Spanish
American war. The manufacturers
of the more or less according to
your view point filthy weed pro-
ceeded TO small the packages to
the amount Of the tax. And it seems
that they forgot. after the tax was
removed. to enlarge the packages 10
their former capacity. All Of which
information causes each ard every
one Of we'uns that use tobacco to
rise UP in the majesty and power Of
our free and independent American
ism and swear by the beard of the

upon the liberties Of the smoke

that, as soon as we take off our

A recent dispatch from Westhope
to the Fargo Forum gives an accoun,
Of the alleged bad things done by
some circus people in that town.
Following is the dispatch:
What for a time looked like an
old-fashioned Hey Rube.," riot
was trembling on the verge Of un-
certainty tonight in Westhope.
"A so called circus travelling
under the name of the Yankee Rob-
inson Circus had billed the town

The farmers came from far and
near. and when they arrived at the
tent they found that they had to
pay dollar admission for all over
nine years old and fifty cents for ba.
bies. Reserved seats were fifty
cents more. The side-shows were
the same. and some were charged a
dollar. In addition. number of
grating games were run. When
these we're stopped by the police the
men running them attempted tc

After the first performance the
people were so exasperated that the
authorities revoked the license Of
the circus and ordered it out Of
town. While the circus people were
loading up. a large crowd gathered
around and for awhile quietly
watched the loading.
Finally. however. few Of the
towns people who had partaken toe
freely Of things stronger than waite,
caused a crowd to gather abou,

circus people call the tent men. The
latter picked up clubs and iron bars
and when one Of the officers ordered
one man to drop his weapon. he drew

Immediately saw his mistake and
started to run. with the crowd after
him; but he finally gained the ref

rest of the circus crew came run

vented the crowd from entering tn.
cars. A warrant was obtained an6
the cars were searched; but the mar
was not found. which was probabl,

be promulgated, it is learned upon
reliable authority that the procIama-
tion will be issued in August, and
that the great drawing for the or
der Of homestead entry will come
early in the fall months, probably in
October. That portion of Standing

OF course the Record publisher
would like to buy print-paper as
cheapiy as possible But we can see
no reason why publishers should
have any special privileges under
the tariff system For a half CEN
tury protection has been the basic
principle Of American economy. We
have always believed, and believe
now. that one cant have his cake
and eat it, too To US it seems as
clear as the noon-dav sun that, un-
less there is some kind of an ar
rangement by which American man
ufacturers can have an advantage
over foreign manufacturers, the
wages here will surely be paid on
the European basis. We know that
wages are better here, and that the
mechanic and the laboring man, de-
spite occasional dull times" has
better wages and eats better food
than in the older parts of the world.
because working people who have
come from there tell US so. We have
heard and read good deal pro and
con as to the tariff. But we know
that the American consumer is the
person who buys the product of the
