CONSISTENT AND CAPABLE.
Featherstone Is the Logical Man For
the Governorship.

The opponents Of prohibition center
their fire on Featherstone. That
means that they regard FeatherstOne
as the only prohibition candidate hav-
ing a chance of election and that Hy-
att and Richards are out of the run
ming. The estimate is correct.
The fight on Featherstone is based
on a charge of inconsistency. Here
are the facts: Featherstone has been
a Prohibitionist all his life. In 1898
he came within $500 votes or less Of
election as governor, having been
forced into the race, against a state
dispensary candidate. He continued
to work for prohibition without asking
for office. In 1907 he advised the Pro-
hibitionists as a matter of tactics not
to press for statewide prohibition at
that time. the state dispensary having
been abolished. The smoke of that
fight had not cleared 1t seemed to
Featherstonc that immediate advance
would be. impolitic; he thought that
public sentiment was not prepared for
it. He urged that ProhibitiOnists util-
iZe to the fullest the advantage gained
through the local option law. captur-
ing all the territory possible at that
time, always declaring that state wide
prohibition was the goal not to be
abandoned. In 1909 a vote in wet cOun-
ties expelled the liquor traffic from all
save six counties, in five of which the
aggregate majority for county dispen-
saries was about 1000. Even in Rich
land the county dispensary won by
only 112 votes in a total of about 5000.
The tremendous and sweeping vic
tories of prohibition in the wet"
counties in August. 1909 appeared to
Featherstone as convincing and COM
plete proof that sentiment for state
wide prohibition was so strong as to
hold out the brightest possible hope
for the enforcement of a statewide
law, especially as it was certain that
prohibition could be enforced in the
one strongly wet county, Charleston,
at least as well as the county dispen-
sary law is enforced. What more
powerful demonstration Of prohibition
sentiment could be expected at any
time than was given by the voting in
August, 1909? 1t made the forward
movement of the prohibition forces in
evitable in 1910.
When a general is marching against
fortress. Is he a traitor because he
halts his men to build a bridge?
Featherstone halted his men to build
a bridge in 1907; the vote in 1909,
when all but six counties voted dry"
proved to him that the bridge was
built; now he rallies his men to
charge the fortress. That's his record.
Those who allege inconsistency,
meanwhile, have always been defend
ers of the fortress. Shall Prohibition
lists take their orders from the enemy?
Is that common sense? Are the Pro-
hibitionists so simple as their oppo-
nents take them to be?
But for whom can Prohibitionists
consistently vote? Mr.. Hyatt, so the
Columbia Records says supported the
state dispensary. Mr.. Richards was a

last ditch state dispensary advocate
Mr.. Mcleod, unopposed for lieutenant
governor in 1906, was elected on a
state dispensary platform when Lyon
and Ansel had the burden of fighting
the state dispensary on their shoul-
ders. Mr. Blcase was a last ditch
state dispensary champion in the leg
islature, standing shoulder to shoulder
with Richards in trying To save that
institution. These men said the state
dispensary is the best solution of the
liquor question" If it was the best So

childish now, when there were things
to be done.
Max came down from the roof alone
and cornered him in the upper hall.

Max looked at me quite a long time.

But whether l like him or not has
nothing to do with it. He has been

l began to cry then, and he drew me
to him and let me cry on his arm. He
stood very quietly, patting my head
in a brotherly way and behaving very
well, save that once he said:
Don't cry too long, Kit; can stand
only a certain amount"
And just then the nurse opened the
door to the studio. and with Max's
arms still around me, raised my head
and looked in.
Mr.. HARRISON was conscious. His
eyes were open, anC he was staring at
us both as we stood framed by the
doorway.
He lay back at once and closed his
eyes, and the nurse shut the door

The shooter has a wagon in which
to carry his explosive. A square box
under the seat is carefully padded,
and when it has been solidly filled
with cans Of nitroglycerin, which Is
molasses-like fluid, he fastens down
the cover and drives slowly away to
the we'll that he is to shoot. Usually
he makes the trip very early In the
morning to avoid the customary trave!
and so diminish the chance of danger.
For the most part the roads are bad,
and the wagon jolts along in a way to
make any one but an old shooter de-
cidedly nervous. If it is dark there
is great danger that a wheel may drop
into a hole with force enough to deto-
nata the explosive. Several wagons
be Ving shooters and their loads have
beeh blown up, but no one ever lived
to tell what sort Of jar caused the
explosion.
In such a case little is ever found
except the great hole in the ground
which the explosion has dug, with
possibly a wheel Of the wagon a
quarter of a mile away in one direc
ton and another in the opposite di-
rection.
The shooter generally takes from
so to 240 quarts of nitroglycerin in
quite enough If it should explode to
leave no trace of the driver of the
vehicle.
When the shooter reaches the well
which is to be treated long torpedo
tubes are placed within the casing of
the we'll, and the nitroglycerin is
poured carefully into them. The well
may be 1900 feet deep and is seldom
less than a thousand. When one of the
tubes is filled it is lowered with the ut
most care to the bottom of the well.
This operation is repeated until the
shooter is satisfied that the load is
heavy enough to accomplish the pur-
pose. When all is ready bar of iron,
known as a "go-devil," is dropped in
to the we'll The instant it leaves his
hand the shooter takes to his heels,
seeking a place of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles; there
is a crash. followed by snap; a muf-
fled sound arises and becomes louder
and louder until a column of oil and
water shoots from IS to 100 feet into
the air. The country for hundreds OF
feet around is filled with clouds of
spray floating to leeward. When this
subsidies the well is in operation and
the shooter receives his fee and drives
away.-Harper' Weekly.

that they changed their minds solely
because the majority of their people,
the crowd, changed their minds? In

follow the crowd?" An act of the

Get rid of the idea that there is any
intrinsic value in a bond" Some
men you know wouldn't rise one notch
in your estimation if they supplement-
know that neither would inspire conf
dence. In the investment world, how
ever the idea has grown up that
"bonds"-any old Londs-may be bought
and filed away with a sense of per-
feet security. Consider railroad bonds,
for instance. Here are some of the va
rious kinds to choose from: Bonds
which are the joint obligation of two
or more railroads; the joint obligation
of railroad and coal company; partici-
pating bonds: debenture bonds-with
no security, those collaterally secured,
and those to be secured by mortgage
in case a new mortgage is placed in the
future: and convertible bonds.
To the expert, bond is merely a
generic term of description, like bird
or Flower" Many stocks, of course
are far sounder than some bonds. This
is. perhaps. as true of railroad secur-
tiles as of most other sorts. 1t all de-
ppndS on the earning power and the
control of the property. In some COM
panics a third mortgag" bond is better
than q first mortgage bond in others

pcrienccd investor. but too often they
are either unknown, or disrcgarded. hH

Auburn n Y, Oct. 1S.-RepreSehldl4No
Serene f Payne prematurely exploded
few big shots in the campaign to-day IN
addressing a small gathering or the
Young Mems Republican Club.
Il want to say a few words about TINS
waI1paper business that Mr.. Dix Is inter
ested in" he said. He is also in the
manufacture of news print paper. If you
had been down there with me at Washing
ton TO hear Herman Ridder and Mr.. Norris
argue for free print paper you would Won
der how they could ever shout for Mr.
Dix at the present moment. Why they
said he was one of the trust that put up
the prices They charged that he had
contract with AIr Hearst for three years
to furnish paper at s35 ton for future
delivery, while others were paying s45 a
ton for present delivery.
Then. there is Mr.. Huppuch. He is a
twin brother of Mr. Dix Their wallpaper
company came to us and said that they
paid four times as much for labor here
as in England, but they made the mistake
of calling their own employees, because
some Of them who had worked in England
as well as here said they got paid only
twice as much. so we decided that their
application was a fraud, and we decided
against them
They criticise US for Mr.. Roosevelts
part at Saratoga. They are shouting
against Roosevelt because he had the cour-
age TO appoint the committee which the
convention authorized him to appoint
was a member of that committee myself,
and Mr. Roosevelt did not know word OF
what was in the platform until the COM
mittee reported.
They say that If you vote for Stimson
now IL means a vote tor Roosevelt in 1872 -
Glaring defiantly at his audience, Mr..
Payne shouted to the roof peak: We'll, I'm
for Taft in 1912 right now. ! am taking Mr..
Roosevelt at his word when he said he
would not be a candidate for a third term.
I know there are many who hesitate TO
vote the Republican ticket because of
Roosevelt and l know there are others
who voted the ticket because of Roosevelt
and who don't care anything else for the
Republican party. l don't know how things
will go, but I feel that on November
Stimson will win out, and we will save the
Assembly and the Senate"
