FIGHT. WAXING WARN
Names Of Signers to Petition Of Gen
eral Consent to Be Published.
IT IS REGARDED AS THREAT
A~nti-snlOon Men Deny This and
say Names VIII Not Ne Printed
Until After Time for with
drawnls Expires.

The anti-saloon forces will WELD the big
stick" In their efforts to induce those who
signed the new saloon general petition OF
consent to withdraw their names from the
document When the circulation of the
petition was first started local members OF
the Iowa A~nti-Saloon league threatened 10
publish all the names of the persons who
signed the document. II was generally sup
posed that the publication would be in i
daily newspaper Of local circulation and
the threat is believed to have kept many
from signing the petition. This was not
done, and It was said that the expense of
publishing the names in the daily press had
proven an obstacle to carrying out what
was supposed to be the original Intention.
Yesterday r. C. F. Chambers, district
superintendent of the Iowa Anti-saloon
league, announced that the names of the
signers Of the petition would be published
in The Dial of Progress" the official
organ OF The league, which is Published In
Des Moines. The publication, however,
will not be made until after the time ex-
pires for obtaining Withdrawals. 1T would
not be fair said Mr.. Chambers, ito pub
fish the names of the men who signed the
petition and then ask them to sign with
drawal statements. The plan of publlca-
tion is simply the Iowa Anti-Saloon leagues
way of doing business. 1t has been at
work for sixteen years and has followed
the plan of publishing the names of those
who sign petitions Of consent, as 1t will
continue to do so in the future. When we
announce that the names will be published
we do not wish this to be construed as in
any way being a threat"
Messrs. Arnd and Hardin, who circu-
lated the saloon petition Of consent, are
not losing any sleep, they say, over the
threats, as they term them, of Mr.. Cham
bers. The fact that the lows A~nti-Saloon
league threatened to publish the names Of
those who signed the petition, we believe,
induced many to attach their names to the
document, who otherwise would not have
done so. The threat of publishing the
names will not induce any material number
to withdraw their signatures declared Mr..
Hardin yesterday.

Pioneers are generally individuals
or families of limited means. The
wealthy seldom immigrate. So fierce
was the conflict in Subduing the
frontier Of Nebraska that none but.
the stout hearted undertook and
carried out the daring experiment.
Itmatters not, whether in this year
or the years to follow, when you y.
chance to look over this beautiful,
prosperous state, covered with thrifty
farms and happy homes, with rail
roads, towns and cities, pause for one
brief moment to give praise unto the
daring pioneers, to whom you are
greatly indebted for the 'bountiful
blessings which you today enjoy.

 "I hope the lLord will increase the tribe of these progressive R 1. publicans. l cannot say that al Republicans look alike to me; I have my choice among them; and 1 think it is important that the ranks of the progressives should be recruited If the people have not the wisdom to select Democrats, then let them select Republicans.

POTATO SHIPPING.

The Lockesburg Enterprise, speak ing of the small price received re- gently by Mena growers for a ship ment of potatoes, delivers quite 8 lecture on the subject. Among other things it says:
 Lockesburg farmers are potato ship pers, and find it profitable. but they don't wait 'till July to market. Grow CTS in this latitude should market potatoes during the last days Of Nlay and the first ten days of June. It is hardly ever safe to cross this dead- line. Msna farmers can succeed by adopting right methods aud playing ording to the rules of tne game.
 The Polk county growers are per- fectly we'll aware of these things, and were even aware of thsm before they shipped the first car a few weeks ago. But they had not been growing early potatoes for ship ment, and did not intend to do so this year. but it developed, late. that more had been planted than usual, that many had, by the use of a little fertilizer, produced really wonderful crops, and they had to be shipped or allowed to TO-
 But it has started something ' There will be a fall crop ready for the market. and another spring will see Polk county potatoes, as well as other garden truck. on the market in good season to get top prices.
 As the Enterprise says. our farm CTS ''can succeed" and they have started in to learn the rules of tie game.

TOPEKA CLUB DRY
4 TEMPORARY INJUNCTION IS ISSUED PROHIBITING LOCKER
 SYSTEM IN VOGUE THERE.
ACTIONS BY COUNTY AND STATE
Both Attorney General and County At torney of Shawnee County Begin Proceedings Against the Institution at the kansas Capital.

Topeka. July 25.-The Topeka Club will be dry" It will be as dry as the Kansas courts can make 1t.
 A temporary injunction prohibiting the club from maintaining a locker system for dispensing intoxicating liquors to members and their friends was granted by Judge W. M. Dana in the district court for Shawnee county At the same time that the proceed lngs were being worked out in the district court, John Marshall, assist ant attorney general. filed in the Kan sas supreme court petition to oust the club from maintaining the locker system.
 It was a double -barreled action against the club that was started. J. J. Schneck, county attorney. brought the injunction proceedings and the at ;orney general began the other suit. The injunction was based on the nuis- ance section of the prohibitory law. This provides that an injunction may be brought to prevent persons using their property to create or maintain Ing nuisance and then provides thai a place where intoxicating liquors are kept for sale or use as a beverage is a nuisance. The proceedings in the supreme court are based on tho nuis. ance count and also on the clubhouse law. prohibiting the sale of liquors in clubs.
 The injunction order will be served at once, and as soon as 1t Is served the club must remove the liquors and lockers from It's rooms and keep them out until the question Is finally settled by the court. The temporary injunction remains in eff feet. and the club will be dry until Judge Dana hands down his decision on the permanent injunction. If he should allow the permanent restrain Ing order then 1t would be effective pending the appeal to tho supreme court If he dissolves the temporary order there would be no injunction until the supreme sourt reversed the lower court Tn any event the club Is dry" for several months. The case cannot be reached until fall at least and unless 1t Is taken out of it's regular order it cannot be reached until late in the winter.
 The club Is corporation organized for social purposes. The members assert that the club has simply main talned the lockers for the convenience of the members. It Is contended that the members were required to pur- chase their own liquors and take them to the club and that no club officer, employe or member purchased liquor for any members. The attorney gen. eral says that he has evidence that officers and members of the club did purchase liquors for other members at various times. Governor Stubbs withdrew from the club because l liquors were dispensed there,

cRoWDIN0 THE FIELD.

We are informed that De Qucen is to have another daily paper in tbe near fu 1re, supposedly branch from The Star at Mena There is always room for one more.-De Queen News.
 Tho old saw, always room for mo- e. n pas worked detrimentally In thousands of instances, both iu the newspaper world and out of 1t. Con- potion is all right where the proper field is preseu' d, but where the field is lacking it is ruinons. De Queen is not large enough for iwo daily papers. The daily paper published there at present may not al )gether meet he demands os the community. but peo- ole O. n have fash on Of demanding much more tban circums n s will warrant aud mrch more ran they are willing 10 pay for. Pot two papers in the beld now occupied by tue News, and tbe result will oe SC atch 2 avel con st for both, with no pros | in sight for ei'ber publisher esleot a bare living. Fort Smith Times Rec ord.
 The above is news and philosophy dished up on one platter.
 As to the first par; graph, The Star knows nothing about who sup posed" that it was to have a branch" in De Queen. One thirg sure, The Star itself never did.
 De Queen is a cracking good lito'e city and promises to be better. but The Star knows something about the life of a daily paper in a small town-having started one in Mena more than eleven years ago. And in that time it has seen the field crowded" several times by an al temp. to run a second and even 9 third daily paper in Mena knows all about what it means not only tc scratch gravel" for a bare living, but also to scratch when it did nai make bare living.
 The De Queen News is a rscent venture. It is no smaller than wat The Star at the first. If it gives the peorle of De Queen as good a paper as the support justifies there is little excuse for another daily there. Il it does not, then there still is nc room for two daily papers in D, Queen -and if a new one is started the survival of the Attest" must be the rule.
 But anyhow and in all events, The Star need not be counted in the Dc Queen game. It is kept very busy "crowding" it's own territory-that is putting in the homes of the peo pie Of Mena and Polk county paper that is of real value, giving then honest and efficient service, accord ing to it's strength, which is based |uyon .he support given it.
