THE LADIES' AID SOCIETY

We've put a fine addition to the good
old church at home;
It's just the latest Kilter with gallery
and dome.
1t seats a thousand people-fnest
church in all the land!
And when twas dedicated, why we
planked ten thousand down;
That is, we paid five thousand every
deacon did his best
And the Ladies' Aid Society it promised
all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church
very finest in the land;
It's got thousand pipes or more; it's
melody is grand!
And when we sit in cushioned pews
and hear the master play,
1t carries us to realms of bliss, un-
numbered miles away.
1t cost cool three thousand, and it's
stood the hardest test;
Wen pay thousand on it the Ladies
Aid the rest.
They'll give a hundred sociables, can
tatas, too, and teas.
They'll bake thousand angel cakes
and tons of cream they'll freeze.
They'll beg and scrape and toll and
work for seven years or more,
And then they'll start all DER again for
carpet for the floor.
No, it isn't just like digging out the
money from your vest,
When the Ladies Aid gets busy and
says, ''We'll pay the rest"
Of course we're proud of our big
church from pulpit up to spire;
1t is the darling of our eyes, the crown
of our desire!
But when | see the sisters work to raise
the cash that lacks,
I sometimes feel the church is built on
women's tired backs.
| sometimes can't help thinking when we
reach the regions best,
The men will get the toll and work and
the Ladies Aid the rest.

One of the most important and vital
of the promises made to thepeople in
the Republican state platform of last
fall has been redeemed by the passage
of law allowing the voter to express
his second choice for candidates at
primary elections. The lack of such a
provision has been perhaps the weak
est point in the primary election meth
3D. In cases where there have been
three or more candidates it has fire.
quently happened that the leading can
didate fell far short of having major
ity of the votes cast. In such case it
might happen that the nomination
would fall to one who is highly objec-
tionable to majority of the voters.
For instance, take the recent campaign
for governor. There were three Pro-
gressive candidates, McGovern, Lewis
and Strange, and one Standpatter,
Fairchild, and one nondescript, Barker.
If Fairchild had happened to have got
VOIGS W nave q ISdO oNCl NIC-
Govern he would still have had less
than half as many votes as the Pro-
gressive candidates, and the nomination
would have been a perversion of the
will of the majority, rs Fairchild was
decidedly Objectionable to the Progress
sives. With a second choice ballot,
one of the Progressives would have had
a decided majority.
1t has been the policy of the machine
politicians, evinced in state and local
campaigns, to get into the field multi
plicity of candidates and then bunch
their controlled votes on favorite, in
the hope that the division of the oppo-
sition would result in their candidate
receiving a plurality. The second
choice ballot neatly checkmates this
game, and is another great step toward
real government by the people.

Some of President Taft's friends
tried to join the Metropolitan Club,
of Washington, D. c., and were black
balled, whereupon the President in a
public address scored the blackballers
as not worthy to button the shoes of
the applicants. While we doubt if the
public has such a deep and abiding
interest in the success of these would
seems to think, we modestly suggest
that if they have the joining fever bad
they might join the Church or the
Salvation Army, where there is greater
field for usefulness and no danger of
blackballing.

When man is convicted of being
drunk and disorderly, the judge says:
"Ten days; call the next case. !"
When man steals horse, he is SEN
fenced to the pen for a number of
years, at the end of his term is turned
loose with no provision for his future
welfare, with no assistance afforded
him to earn an honest living, in fact he
is branded a Jail bird" and is suspect
ed and Stunned by the public and
Swallowed by police officers. When a
great corporation for long series of
years systematically plumbers the pub
lie of millions annually well, that is
an entirely different matter. AS that
august and dignifed body of barnacled
antediluvians, the United States SUI
preme court, remarks, there must be
"a proper regard for the vast interests
of private property"
The drunkard is the handiworl1 of
God, with an immortal soul and facul-
ties capable of intellectual, moral and
spiritual development, but debased by
an uncomfortable appetite and unfavor-
able surroundings. But he has no
property, hence is beneath the con-
sideration of the courts. The horse
thief likewise is God-made, with a soul
and sensibilities, but his operations in
property are too petty to receive judi
cial consideration.
The corporations composing the To-
bacco Trust are man-made, artificial
creatures, but the supreme court places
them upon a higher plane than the
creatures whom, according to Scrip
ture, God made in his own image.
The Tobacco Trust was found to have
been guilty of about all the crimes
which corporation could commit, but
instead of being punished it was given
a gentle rebuke, with the admonition
that it must be good in future No
fine, no Imprisonment, no punishment

ONLY ONE BEST
Ladysmith People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.


People of Ladysmith who suffer
with sick kidneys and bad backs
want kidney remedy that can be
depended upon. The best is Doan's
Kidney Pills, medicine for the kid
neys only, made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is
backed by cures in Ladysmith. Here's
Ladysmith testimony:
Mrs. L. Winters, E. Fritz Ave,
Ladysmith, Wis, says: my exper-
fence with Doan's Kidney Pills has
convinced me that they are the best
remedy to be had for kidney trouble.
| was subject to severe attacks of
backache and the secretions from
my kidneys caused me great annoy
ance. When Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention, l got
supply at MONEYS Pharmacy and
although other remedies had failed
to help me, they removed my COM
paint. In 1907 l publicly told of my
experience and now I am pleased to
confirm that statement"

The country is to be congratulated
upon the fact that one of the nine JUS
tees of the Supreme Court, John M.
Harlan, is old-fashioned enough to be-
lieve that crime should be punished re-
CARELESS of the amount of property
held by the criminal. Instead of as
sisting the Tobacco Trust to get over
or around the obstacles created by the
antitrust law, he would deal it solar
plexus blow and leave the rest to the
undertaken.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
Coming "Tilly Olson June 8; LENA
Rivers" June IL

h1VcTS, u uu0 i ~
The Denver, Colo, Republican of
Sept. 23rd has the following to say
about the funny ''Tilly Olson" show
which will appear at the opera house
on June 9:
''Tilly Olson" who came to the Cur
tbs theatre yesterday is sort of a
female Yon Yonson. She provides
amusement, excitement, thrills and
heroics all in the same play and man
ages to give the audience it's moneys
worth in all lines, before the four acts
are over.
Needless to say the play is located in
Minnesota, that being the happy hunt
ing grounds for Swedes.
Altogether it is the best play that
has been at the Curtis this year. The
management says that it is the best of
all that will be here this season. How
ever optimistic that may be, the show
is fine chest developer. To attend a
stirring performance where right
triumphs over might six or seven
times in every act is one of the best
breathing exercises if one does it in the
proper spirit At least that is the
opinion one would form watching yes
terday's audiences at the Curtis.
The effects of the play are well
mixed, as the possibilities to laugh
come at the right time, when the SEN
sation of thrills begins to be little
wearing. incidentally, the humor,
while very plainly marked, is not pain
fully obvious.
Elena Rivers, whose manager
claims has played to more people and
in more cities and towns in the United
States and Canada than any other
play of the present day, will appear at
Worden's opera house Monday, June
IL.
The Dayton, O., Herald says of this
play: Delicate in texture, delightful
in theme and free from any touches of
vulgarity, Lena Rivers" play
dramatized from the novel written by
Mary J. Holmes is one that every
theater goer should see. It's touches
of humor are shaded with delicate
pathos, and it's lines are simple, yet
real. The dramatization of this pretty
story has, since it's advent upon the
stage, proven most popular and the
play has prospered where others have
failed"
Tickets: Is, 35 and so cents.

A novel complication in connection
with the game laws has arisen at Chip
pewa Falls. A number of beavers
came down Duncan creek, which runs
through the city, and show indications
of an intent to locate permanently and
build dam. If dam is built at that
location it will flood property above.
AS the law strictly forbids interfer-
ence with beavers or their houses or
dams, difficult condition is present
ed. Apparently the only thing the
owners of the property can do is to
watch and pray that the beavers will
emigrate. They haven't the legal
right to even shoe them away.

Madison tried oil on some of it's
streets last year as dust preventive,
and it proved so satisfactory that the
method will be extended to all the prin-
cipal streets. 1t is said to be not only
much cheaper than sprinkling, but
dust is really prevented, which cannot
be said of the water sprinkling process
In dry weather the effects of sprinkling
last only few hours, while a street
treated with oil is permanently dust
less. 1t might be profitable for our
city fathers to investigate the process.

Arthur c. Hastings, president of the
American Paper & Pulp Association,
says his organization is not trust and
does not dictate prices. He says the
object of the association is ''to educate
paper manufacturers to get all they
can for their products" and that they
endeavor to get paper manufacturers
to curtail their product in order to
maintain prices. Still, it isn't a trust.
Do you get the distinction?

While the small boy and girl
mourned the stroke of fate that de-

nearly every church in the city, and
many entertainments and parties at
private houses,
Spirit Manifested for a Week.
For week the spirit of "hob-gob-
lin night" has been in evidence at the
various social affairs, and the differ
ent clubs and societies followed out
the Halloween idea to the minute.
Social Tulsa was astir early last
night, and before 9 o'clock carriages
and automobiles were at a premium.
In many ways, Tulsa spent remark
able Halloween, principally so be-
cause of the absence of mobs OF
parading the streets in

night of the year they are allowed
with little interruption.
