CLEAN, MORAL EXPOSITION

A writer giving his views of the
A.-Y.-P. Exposition has this to say of
its moral, educational and religious
environs and influences:
"While the prime object and aim of
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition
was to exploit the agricultural, min
eral, forestry and fishing industries
of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest,
and to bring into closer commercial
relationship the people bordering up
on the ocean which surrounds our
Insular possessions, a secondary OBJ
ject and one of perhaps greater i'm
portance than the first, was to mark
the progress and growth of the civic,
educational, benevolent and religious
interests of the last frontier left up
on earth.
"The Exposition is located upon the
campus Of Washington University, a
protected district, within two miles of
which, by virtue of legislative enact
ment, no intoxicating liquors may be
sold. 1t is a significant fact that al
though more than a million people
have thus far visited the Exposition
averaging close to $4,000 persons
daily, not single arrest for drunken
ness upon the grounds has been made
A further fact of vital interest to be
related is that while commercial con-
ventions have been largely and en-.
Enthusiastically attended, yet the great
drawing cards for the Exposition
have been the religious gatherings"
Conspicuous among the items of in
terest on the Exposition grounds are
the headquarters and booths of many
religious and temperance organiza-
tions, including the w. G. T. u, the
Florence Crittenden Mission, the
Christian Endeavor Society and the
Epworth League.
With this powerful influence fol-
good taking such an active part in
the Exposition, it is not to be wonder.
ed at that an air of social, civic and
religious influence should permeate
the entire premises and that the edu-
cational spirit should predominant in
preference to the boisterous and friv.
olous.

YES. HE LIVED THERE

A young New York broker of con-
vivial habits fell in with an old school
friend who had gone on the road.
whenever you're in town come up
and bunk with me-" he urged his
friend as they separated. "No mat
ter what old time it is. If I'm not
there just go ahead and make your
self at home. I'll be sure to turn up
before daybreak."
Soon after this the salesman ar
rived in town about midnight, and,
remembering his friends invitation,
sought out his boarding house. There
was only dim light Pickering in the
hall, but he gave the bell manful
pull. Presently he found himself face
to face with a landlady of grim and
terrible aspect.
"Does Mr.. Smith live here?" he fall
tered.
"He does," snapped the landlady,
"You can bring him right inf"-

HoW,s THIS FOR MUD?

Of all the yarns that ever came
down the line, regarding deep mud,
the following should be entitled to
the blue ribbon. 1t happened in the
place where mud originated.
A man was walking along the road
side one summer day and noticed a
fairly good looking hat out in the
road. Reaching out with his cane, he
gave it a cut and was startled to
hear a voice exclaim: "Here, what
the duce are you doing?"
Then he made the astonishing dis
covery that the owner Of the head
piece was under the hat, up to his
ears in mud.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. "Is that
mud as deep as that?"
"Deep!" cried the victim. "Why
man alive, Pm standing on load Of
hay!"-Lippincott's.

Five COUNTIES Fix DATES

"A wv Az 4AAA1 a 49, 49,
The following local option elections
have been called so far as heard from
in this state: Idaho and Canyon
counties, August 20; Bannock county
September 1; Ada and Bear Lake
counties September 8.
The liquor interests have been sue
cessful in delaying an election In
only one county, where an injunction
was secured from the district court
against the commissioners, enjoining
them from holding an election upon
the petition filed until hearing
could be had before the court. That
will probably delay the election at
least until the regular September
meeting of the board, when an cleo
ton might be called for November.
In most of the counties so far heard
from protests were filed by represen-
tatives of the liquor interests. In
Bear Lake county, where more than
rs per cent of the voters of the coun-
ty signed the petition, the only basis
of protest was one based on the fact
that the county auditor in accepting
the petition for filing, had Endorsed it
as "clerI" instead of auditor" the
protesting liquor dealer holding that
the petition therefore, had not been
filed with the county auditor as re-
quired by law.
