Not all of us are like that. There are
many, many heroes among the temperance
fighters who labor necessarily. But how
about the great majority? There is much
truth in what the politician says. We may
say that it is natural that it should be so;
that self interest in its strongest form
pushes the saloon man into the fight; and
that the effort of the temperance man or
woman is vicarious, unselfish, and put
forth in the face of natural tendencies.
Which is also true.

Congress Met

Washington, April THE Six
ty-second congress met in ext. aor-
binary session today.
What the session will bring forth
or when it will adjourn were mat
ters of conjecture here.
The democrats took possession of
the house and put Champ Clark, Of
Missouri, in the speakers chair.
In his speech accepting the honor,
he warned the democratic members
that the eyes of the country were
upon them; that the party was on
trial, and that it had an opportun-
ity for the first time in Is years to
prove its worthiness for still higher
expression of confidence.
Throughout the day the shadow
Of the coming presidential fight
hovered about the capitol, and there
is no question but that maneuvers
for political advantage will play an
important part in the affairs of the
house and senate in the next few
months.
William J. Bryan, of Nebraska,
and Governor Harmon, of Ohio,
were leading figures on the floor of
the house. Had Governor Wood
row Wilson been present the list of
generally accepted democratic pres
idential possibilities would have
been complete.
The senate's opening was sedate,
us usual. And, while the leader
ship of the upper branch remains
in republican hands, the change
in the personnel was almost as
marked as in the house. Aldrich,
Hale, Beverage and others, of both
the regular and progressive fac
tions, were missed.

house, however, have formulated
an ambitious program, which in
cluded the revision of schedules of
the Payne.Aldrich tariff laws.

have announced there shall be no

they are not alarmed at the threat

Wibaux Club
Held Opening
WlbauX was Scene of
Much Merriment on
Last Monday Night

Following u short business ses.
sion of the chamber Of commerce
on last Monday evening the WI
baux club rooms were thrown open
to its members and their visiting
friends for the first time.
Every member. and his friend.
was there (and over) to participate
in the various amusements, and to
lend their aid to the success of the
opening which, to say the least,
was a grand success. Not alone
from social standpoint may it BE-
considered successful, but, mas.
much as a splendid advancement
IN establishing unity among fac.
tlons, or where opposition often
times prevails; hence in again Civ
ing credit to the old adage: "A
task well begun is half finished"
we must conceed that we already
have an infant social club to which
we can point with pride.
The club was called to order by
President J. Q. Kinney, who made
" few very appropriate remarks,
and who, before calling on the
members for speeches, announced
that promptly at $50 p. m., on
Monday, April 8, 1911, President
Taft would press a golden button
in Washington, D. c., which would
signify, by VIZ. ae of has office, the
formal opening Of the Wibaux Club.
Before temporarily giving up the
char to Judge Bushell, President
Kinney announced that kangaroo
court was next in order, and the
medicine was very efficiently ad-
ministered by Judge Bushell, with
Attorney Baxter acting in the ca
pacity of prosecuting attorney,
while Sheriff Boyce and his deputy,
w. H. Terrell, were kept busy
capturing would-be fugitives from
justice. Atty. Baxter had warrants
written out for each and every
member, who in regular order "got
his" with one exception-th that be-
ing Kicking George, who proved
too fleet t-footed-so says Deputy
Terrell, who declares George broke
the worlds record as a sprinter,
having ran 1OO-yard dash in 9 fiat
and that's going some.
Very appropriate charges were
preferred against each and every
member---wi:h the possible excep-
ton of Nilsson" and one member
who evidently got ''cold feet" as
he had advanced the maximum
fine, consequently there was no
charge against him. Each one took
their medicine good naturedIy, as
1t was intended, and the ''kanga-
roo" passed off very harmoniously.
At this stage Of the game Louie
appeared ON the scene with very
palatable sptead, and everybody
soon forgot their troubles.
The balance of the evening was
enjoyed in card playing, "etc.,"
by all except w. FL. Rucker, whom
we understand was kept busy pour.
ing water on the dumb waiter, to
prevent it from over heating...and
at that it was reported out of order
the next morning.

Local Talent gives a
Highly Entertain
ing Programme

certs of the season was given last
Friday evening iii the Rucker hall
under The auspices Of the musical
committee of st. Thomas Episco-
pal church. The program was Of
very varied and sustained excel
lence throughout and the interpre-
tations and renderings Of the artis-
tic performers were exceptionally
fine. The Wibaux band composed
entirely of local men under the
leadership of Mr.. Jeffers, added
much to the success Of the evening.
They played on the street at the
entrance and then entered and op-
ened the concert with two pieces,
both Of which were given with ex.
cellent tempo, accent and spirit.

all sides.

Mrs. Margaret Wilson, of Glen

her first appearance. Mrs. Wilson
is another artist of rare gifts and

difficult, in several places reaching
to high G. All tones, high or low,

ers In Texas regarding summer fal-
lowing. He urges them to put the
disc on land right after the binder

even few days, hot dry weather fol-
lowing harvest will wipe out more
moisture than the land can afford to
lose. Weeds, he declares will take
out more moisture than hard baked
surface. Discing will help keep down
the weeds and pnt the land In condi-
tion for fall plowing.
