This statement, issued by Arch.

sensation here today. in view of the
criticism OF Leopold during his last
illness. Archbishop Ireland blames
England for laying the charges Of

'Official documents and reports OF

VETS AND 'ORYs'

Latter Seek Submission of Local OPP
ton In 20 Counties and Former

With the January meetings OF the
boards OF supervisors in many OF The
counties Of the state, the second phase
Of the 1910 local option campaign Is
on. Some OF the county boards met
Monday morning. others will meet

Last October the supervisors OF IL
counties accepted petitions calling for
submission OF the option question. on
petition OF the 'drys"; in five other
counties. the vets submitted peiE
lions for elections. which were ac-
cepted.
The January meetings will see the
vets presenting petitions for elections
In six more counties now dry, while
the Anti-Saloon league forces will at
tempt to force elections in st. Clair,
Kent and Cass counties. The st. Clair
situation is now before the supreme
court, while allegations OF fraud In
getting up the local option petition
are being made in Kent county and
big fight is expected there next Mon
day.
Eminent counsel have been retained
by both sides to argue the Kent coun-
~ case. The vets allege that great
many signatures were obtained oy
false representations OF various kinds.
and they will attempt to strike these
signatures OF the petition, leaving the
number OF names too few TO compel
the submission OF the question.

Senators Bow to Sentiment
Of the South.

WashingtorXDec. 19.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary has agreed on the details oil
the favorable report it will make on g
resolution submitting to the States IN
amendment to the Constitution direct
ing the popular election of Senators.
AS has been already explained, the
subcommittee stands two to one on
the real subject, while the full com
mittee is known to have made up its
mind to accept the proposed resolution,
Senators Borah, and Rayner favor the
resolution and ISCenator Dillingham; is
against it in any form
The resolution which the sub-com-
mittec will report is almost identical
with that passed by the-Eouse in 1892.
1t simply puts the election of Senators
on the same plane as the election OF
members of the House by providing
that all persons eligible for voting in

This meets with the approval of such
Republican Senators as are really in
terested i'll the proposed amendment,
and has of course the hearty support
of the Southern Democrats. Certain
Republicans, however, have insisted
that the proposed amendment, unless
it carries a uniform provision as to
who shall be entitled to vote practical
ly amounts to recognizing the validity
of those clauses in Southern Constitl-
tons curtailing the negro vote. This
is the attitude O. Mr.. Depew of New
York, and he will offer in committee
an amendment to the resolution aimed
at fixing in advance the qualification
of electors.

ALL MY PIMPLES GONE.

Miss Minnie Packard, of Altamabaw, N.
G. 1T was full of pimples and scars,
but after using D. d. ID. Prescription
can say that now there is no slgA
of the eczema, and thatwas three
years ago."
D. d. D. has become so famous as
"a cure and instant relief in Eczema
and all other serious skin diseases,
that its value is sometimes overlooked
in clearing up rash, pimples, black
heads and all other minor forms of
skin impurities.
The fact is, that while d. D. d. is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any Other
serious trouble, the soothing Oil of
Wintergreen, Thymol and other in
gradients are so carefully compounded
there is no wash for the skin made
that can compare with this great
household remedy for every kind of
skin trouble.
d. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfect
ly harmless to the most delicate skin
and absolutely reliable. A rs cent
bottle will give you positive proof of
the wonderful effectiveness of this
great remedy.

BELLS ACROSS THE SNOW.

TT IdIICeS 1CIuIcN 11dNCI SAL
o Christmas, merry Christmas!
Is it really come again,
With it's memories and greetings,
With its joy and with it's pain?
There's a minor in the caro-
There's a shadow in the light,
And a spray of cypress twining
With the holly wreath toni2Iht,
And the hush is never broken
BY laughter light and low.
AS we listen in the starlight
To the Bells across the snow
0 Christmas, merry Christmas!
TITS not so very long
Since other voices Blended
With the carol End the song!
If we could but hear them singing
AS they are singing now,
If we could but see the radiance
OF the crown ON each dear brow
There would be no sigh to smother
No hidden tear to flow,
AS we listen in the starlight
To the Bells across the snow"
o Christmas, merry Christmas!
This never more can be
We cannot bring again the days
OF our unshaElowed gee.
But Christmas, happy Christmas,
Sweet herald of good will,
With holy songs of glory
Brings holy gladness still,
For peace and hope may brighten,
And patient love may glow,

To the BELLS across the snow
