THE LEAGUES ENDORSEMENT.
The full text of the endorsement
of James Gray for governor by the

The full text of the endorsement
of James Gray for governor by the
Anti-Saloon League is as follows.
1.-The temperance people Of Min
nesota, under the leadership Of the
Minnesota Anti-Saloon league, are
in the midst Of the most hopeful
struggle for a definite advance in
temperance legislation in the his
tory of the state. The issue before
US is county option. To enact this
sentiment into law, it is necessary
for the people Of Minnesota to elect
a governor, senators and represent
tatives favorable to county option.
A splendid and apparently success
full primary legislative campaign
has been made. The candidates of
the leading political parties for the
lieutenant governorship are we'll
known to be favorable to county op-
titon. We believe majority Of
both houses of the next legislature
will be favorable to county option,
but owing to the tremendous
amount Of money put up by the liq-
uor interests in their death struggle
to continue their control of Mime
sofa politics, our margin will be so
small that it will be absolutely nee
essary to have the hearty co-opera-
ton of governor who will openly
take the moral side of this acknowl-
edged moral question and exert his
influence to counterfeit the corrupt
methods of the brewery lobby.
1t is no departure from Anti
Saloon league policy and tradition
to take sides in gubernatorial con-
test when the interests of the tenn
perance cause are concerned.
"Our speakers have been appeal.
ing to the churches for financial
and moral support on the plea OF
standing by men, from the cover.
nor down, regardless Of party, who
openly favor 1r cause. The TEN.
perance people of the State look tc
US for information and advice in
this crucial time concerning the
candidate for governor.
1.-The liquor organizations and
their press have already taken meas.
ures to inform their friends and
those under obligations to them,
making recommendations for the
protection of their interests.
For instance, the Liberty
league, a well-known liquor organi-
cation, with headquarters in St.
Paul, before the Democratic con-
vention was held, declared in favor
of Governor Eberhart. Later JUL.
US Morsch, legislative agent for
the National Liquor Dealers asso-
citation, in an interview in the St.
Paul Daily News, latter the Ger
man-American alliance had Endorsed
Governor Eberhart's candidacy
said: We indorse Governor Eber-
hart because we believe he is op-
posed to county option. We are
opposed to having the saloons ruled
out, and we consider that our in
dorsement of Governor Eberhart is
an Endorsement of our own inter-
ests.''

to speak from the brewers stand

Eberhart, when he was lieutenant
governor, appointed and reappoint-
ed the notorious 8 to / temperance
committee; that he has been per-
sistently silent as to his own atti-
tude on the question of county op-
ton, and as browning offense that
he insisted upon the appointment
as chairman Of the Republican State
committee of former Senator E. E.
Smith, who is we'll known as the
legislative representative of the
brewing interests and the vigorous
defender Of all that is bad in poll
tics, and it will be seen that vote
for Eberhart is vote for the sa-
loon and saloon politics.
ION the other hand, when it is
remembered that James Gray, by
his past record and his present de-
claration, has shown himself sin
cerely and strongly favorable to the
principles Of county option, and
that he stands among his fellow
citizens as an advocate Of progress
sive and honest government, it will
be seen that vote for Gray means
vote against the saloon and saloon
politics. Mr. Gray's sincerely on
the county option question is amply
proved by the fact that for a period
of several months during 1906-07 he
spoke for the Anit-Saloon Leauge
many times in the interest of coun-
ty option, filling Sunday appoint
ments in various churches in differ
ent sections of the State.
In view Of the foregoing facts,
the headquarters committee Of the
Minnesota Anti-Saloon league un-
animously indorses James Gray for
governor Of Minnesota, and urges
every friend Of county option to
lay aside partizan spirit and work
for his election.
The political organization is max
ing big preparations to make a
united onslaught in Kandiyohi
County the last two weeks before
election in the hope of carrying the
voters off their feet and lining them
up for the straight ticket.
Is it to advance the county option
cause and other political reform?
If not, then what is it for?
Watch the unmistakable signs.
Straws always indicate which way
the wind blows.
Which way do the brewery agents
and saloon men lean? For whom
are their followers shouting?
For whom are the corporations,
who are seeking to control legisla-
ton for their own benefit, instruct
ing?
The intelligent voter will use his
own mind, make his own observa-
tions, draw his own conclusions and
vote his own convictions.

ANOTHER EPlSTLE ADDED
IN BIBLICAL DISCUSSION

Los ANGELES, Jan. 2S.-[Editor
Herald: In explaining Matt. xiv in
yesterdays Letter Box James T. Irwin
does not attempt to juggle with the
meaning of this generation but
claims that the lend of the world"
simply meant the end of the "Mosaic
age" marked by the destruction of
Jerusalem.
He says the destruction of the earth
is nowhere considered in the Bible.
How about verse 81: Heaven and
earth shall pass away?" Also see
II Peter, iii:10, etc, ad lib. He refers
to Heb. iX:26 where it is said the
sacrifice of Christ occurred "in the
end of the world"-sureIy not meaning
when the earth was being destroyed"
Whether Paul meant the literal de-
struction Of the earth or not is imma-
terial, but he certainly did mean the
end in the sense of the final judgment,
for he believed that he himself was
living Gin the end of the world" No
one can deny that Paul and the other
apostles and disciples believed 1.-The
time was short" till "the end of all
things" q Cor. vii:29; Pet. iv:7;
John ills. etc.) How the Christian
world can continue to regard them as
divinely inspired when time has proved
them to have been SO radically wrong
on almost the only important point
susceptible of proof 1 cannot under
stand. Read 1 Thess iv:16-17: For the
Lord himself shall descend from
heaven, and the dead in Christ shall
rise first; then we who are alive shall
be caught up with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air." Does
that sound like the end of the Mosaic
age? Did anything like that Qiteral-
ly or flguratively) happen at the de-
struction of Jerusalem?
Returning to Matthew. read verse 80:
"t And then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn" Did they,
at the end of the Mosaic age or de-
struction of Jerusalem Pshaw! Not
one man in a million living then knew
whether Jerusalem was q city or a
breakfast food, or cared a rap whether
it was destroyed or not. Verse 81:
"And he shall send his angels, and
they shall gather his elect from the
four winds, from one end OF heaven
to the other" Does that sound like
anything that happened at the 'con-
summation of the Mosaic age?"
These various explanations offered
by j. r, kits, James T. Irwin ct al.
are simply makeshifts, it seems to me,
which never occurred to any one un-
til something of the kind became i'm
perative by reason of the passing of
the then present generation. The rea-
son they disagree among themselves
about verse "a is that they are all un-
consciously trying to dodge the obvious
meaning. Each one can see the falla-
cies of the others explanations, but
not of his own. If Mr.. Irwin had
turned up in Jerusalem along about
A. d. so with copy of the revised
version" under each arm and had
button -holed Messrs. Peter. James and
John ct al, and attempted to point out
to them what they really meant in
this chapter according to the margin
of said version, they would have fallen
upon him as one man, smitten him
hip and thigh and left him in a dazed
condition on the doorstep of the An
anias clubs Jerusalem headquarters
This language is tigurative.

u. S. NOBILITY

A MEXICAN mobility is a distinct
"a ly and decidedly established fact,
"a and any one who denies this is
making a sad mistake. The Countess
Cornelia Vanderbilt Szechenyi intro
duces the gilded edge of an old Amer
lean financial and railroad name into
the blue books of Europe, while
America receives the honor of another
title in one of its first families.
Let the good work go on. Countess
Cornelia Vanderbilt has a high and
mighty sound and a lovely, free and
Independent resonance that somehow
is marred by the proximity of the Eu-
ropean name which to the imaginative
suggests a sneeze spelled phonetically
and embalmed in type.
The count brought his countess wife
and countess daughter to the United
States to visit their humble American
relatives, the obscure but dollar
marked Vanderbilts, and reporters on
board ship tried to interview the count
as to his plans, but we are told he
only scowled. The scowl of a SEE
chenyi must indeed have a whitening
effect on the jocund optimism of a New
York newspaper man.

GEOGRAPHY

AT OTHING is more entertaining,
properly pursued, than is the
~ study of geography. 1t is we'll to
take a look at the map once in while.
especially before committing a geo.
graphical opinion to print. Our Re
publican morning contemporary says:
THE term British isles can properly
have reference only to Scotland, Eng
land and Wales. And yet those coun-
tries form but a single island. It's a
funny term to use We think the
term Britannia isles was first applied
by the Romans to Hibernia as well as
Britannia. The inscription on the coins
says Britt" which means Britain
niarum."
There is nothing very romantic about
the term British isles" or the more
correct term "Britannic islands," The
Britannia islands, Great Britain and
ireland, were so named because the
Romans found tin mines on them.
They were named the Britannica"
At first they consisted of Magma
or scotians emigrated from Ireland to
Scotland the name Scotia was trans
ferred to Scotland. British geography
is nearly as much of a mixed up
puzzle as British politics; so we cor
daily advise all friends who are not
well posted to refrain from expressing
expert" opinions.
In the Britannica are not only
Magma, the great or main island, but
the Orkneys, the Shetlands, the He
brides, the Isle of Man. the Isle OF
Wight, Butte, Arran, the Cumbraes and
the Channel islands.
We believe the total number of ISL
ands in the Britannia group is upward
of 200, the principal members Of which
are Britannia and Hibernia, formerly
called Scotia. SO, you see, the term
British isles is applied to a large and
thriving family of islands and it is
not at all a funny" term to use. on
the contrary, it is correct.
To anyone familiar with the fact the
group of British Islands numbers about
200. in which several nationalitles. half
a dozen languages and many charac-
teristic local customs and costumes
may be found by the interested tourist,
it is much "bunnier' to see the word
England" which refers to the south
ern and eastern portion Of the island OF
Great Britain, applied sometimes to
the United Kingdom, sometimes to the
200 islands and sometimes to the
British empire.

HORRORS OF WAR

n Y far the most sanguinary, reclS-
* less, atrocious, cruel and deadly
~ war of modern times was that
and Christian powers which a few
years ago fought for the control Of
Africa. The newspapers OF South
Africa, which today are being written
by mixed static of Beers and Britons
and are recording marriages, so per
cent of which are inter-racial, are of
course observing a discreet silence with
regard to the war. 1t is not even re-
ferred to as the late unpleasantness.
1t would hardly do to let a little white
African boy know that his two grand
fathers during several years of their
lives had been willing and ready to
murder each other at sight.
The great Boer war" as Conan
Doyle advisedly calls it with reference
to it's magnitude, which is not cor
rectly appreciated, should have been
the very last of the wars between
civilized peoples. Enough" should
have been the cry Of civilization when
that atrocious chapter in history had
been completed.
A Californian has taken the trouble
to collect in a booklet entitled Real
War" a number of anecdotes and in
cidents of the civil strife in Africa,
culled from private correspondence Of
soldiers in the field or from dispatches
that escaped the government censor
ship.
Every taxpayer in the English speak
ing world should have copy of Real
War" which may be obtained from w.
c. Allen of Redlands. Mr.. Aliens mo-
tive in preparing the booklet is evil
dently patriotic and Christian. Quot
ing the Philadelphia North American,
Mr.. Allen writes: "War is brutal
tragedy OF shooting and stabbing and
burning of homes. and hideous human
misery and hatreds that survive for
generations"
He ADDS: Real war is wretchedly
nasty and abhorrent business. 1t is
ever the same, whether practiced by
ourselves or other people. AS a sys-
tenn among civilized peoples it will be
relegated to the past just Is soon as
civilization decides to abolish it. Does
not an international court of arbitra-
ton offer a far more rational and
Christ-like method Of settling differ
ences? Will it not more perfectly pro-
mote true honor. morality and peace?
THEN AID SUCH A HUMANE
MOVEMENT. In public or in private,
decry the atrocities, the man-made suf-
fering8 and dishonor of unholy war"

PROGRESSIVE FRANCE

4 a result Of flood distress France
IN will have an opportunity of put
IA ting into practice various eco
nomic theories which by all the Eng
lish speaking countries except New
Zealand are regarded as too ''ad-
vanced"-i. e., humanitarian-for our
plodding Celto-SaXon civilization.
Judging by the reluctance with which
our government approaches such ques-
tions as postal savings banks, govern
ment employment bureaus, old age
pensions and parcels post one would
think every one of these sensible propo-
sitions was dramatically destructive
in its tendencies and would explode
with great havoc as soon as put into
operation.
Our government could not handle
bombs more gingerly than 1t handles
tho propositions mentioned.
France has also given a demonstra-
ton Of the only effective and business
like method in which to regulate, con-
troll or discipline trusts. The method
now being used by France was tried
in Mexico with great success, and al
though Mexico may be "barbarous," as
alleged, in some respects, there can
be no doubt Of the advanced and mas
terly civilization with which it solved
the trust problem and prevented a few
exploiters from capturing all the re-
sources of the country and peddling
them at their own rates.
While there will be scarcity OF
food supplies in France as a result of
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-03

the floods, the government will not
allow any citizen to exploit the people
who must buy the necessaries of life.
1t will not permit any merchant or
any hnancier to make or take profits
from conditions produced by disaster.
In taking this attitude the French
government is carrying out a policy
which was put into effect a few years
ago in Mexico as we'll as France. When
spectators captjNed the supply Of
grain and began raising prices the
government put grain on the free list
and began to import it in large guam
titles.
The only method OF regulating trusts
that has been found to work like a
charm" not only in France but in
Mexico has been to put ON THE FREE
LIST any article made or CONTROLLED
by a trust.

LEWIS TO COME DOWN
TO THE CONCRETE FACTS

ELSINORE, Feb. -[Editor Her
add: w. Scott Lewis in his article OF
January "a seems determined not to
be convinced that United States Steel
employees are not exploited. l VIII an
swer his questions
First-Is not eevry corporation in
the world in business primarily for
profit? Yes.
Seconds not this profit produced
by its employees? only partially, as
without the necessary capital the en-
ploye would be valueless.
Third-WouId there be any profit
and could the corporation remain in
business if its employees received full
value of their labor? Yes There
would he a profit if the laborer re-
ceived full value of his work. This
profit would represent the interest on
the invested capital in the producing
plant, raw material in stock and fin
shed product on hand and unsold.
Without capital labor would be prac-
tically valueless, as producing plants
could not be erected without capital
therefore it must receive recognition
in the profits of the corporation.
Does Mr.. Lewis realize that a large
portion of the capital he objects to
pay dividends on is money indirectly
advanced Tor labor IN the manufacture
Of machinery, tools and equipment by
some other corporation with which TO
equip these mills, the capital on which
Mr., Lewis objects to see dividends
paid? Labor is a commodity which
has no fixed value and is worth what
ever ,it will bring in the market, and
unless capital purchases a mans labor
it would have no value. Capital alone
is the employer and when it cannot
receive a dividend will not be invested
And 1 again deny that government
statistics are sufficient proof on which
to calculate whether a man is receiV-
ing his just dues or not, as they do
not deduct nor make any allowance
for appropriations for renewals or ad-
ditions which are necessary to be
made.
Mr.. Lewis is so sure that United
States Steel employees are being eX-
plotted, would it not be more to the
point If he would tell us what these
employees receive weekly or monthly in
wages, and what, in his estimation
they should receive to obtain full
value of their labor, and what divi-
dend should invested capital receive.
Let him come down to facts. T. H.

BILLBOARDS

UT IS suggested as q measure of
practical relief that the city
Il should exclude billboards from
certain districts It is to be hoped
it will be possible to esablish definite
legislation against the billboard nui-
sance, because billboards add another
to numerous instances in which moral
suasion or remonstrance is unavail-
ing. Those responsible for the i'm
pious "art" with which billboards are
decorated and neighborhoods are de-
graded are as well aware as you are,
dear reader, that their monstrosities
are offending you and thousands of
other citizens. Although aware Of the
unpopularity of billboards, they have
evinced no disposition or desire to
act in accordance with popular wish,
and remove the boardings and the
carlcatures from districts they dis
figure.
Councilman Betkousld presents a
good argument in favor of anti-bill-
board legislation when he says: 1.-The
city has on It's statute books ordi-
nances prohibiting the location or
maintenance Of factories in certain dis
tricts which are established as resi-
dence districts. There has been no
question raised as to the validity of
legislation of this kind. Billboards
are more of a nuisance than factories.
While factories are absolutely neces-
sary for the commercial welfare of a
city, they may be prevented from en-
croaching upon homes. Billboards
should be regulated"
