ible indeed. An improved saloon is
not a half loaf' which should salts
fly any friend Of temperance, nor is
it the one-thousanth of a loaf. The
only good saloon is the closed saloon.
The more respectable" a saloon is
made, the more damage will it do, and
the more victims it will ruin. County
option means something for it means
local prohibition thru the enfran-
chisement Of the people affected by
the policy. The fight against "brew-
cry owned saloons" means nothing
but catching the votes Of an easily
deceived temperance element. After
severely berating the saloon interests
and painting the terrible influence
they WELD in politics in the most lurid
colors, these would-be temperance
statesmen propose to remedy the
matter by whitewashing the saloons
and giving them added prestige in the
community! That's exactlv the
brand of buncombe contained in Sam
Gordon's Temperance" plank.

to be bestirring themselves to the
end that the delegates whom they
send to Baltimore will truly repre-
sent the feelings and aspirations of

A FEARFUL VOLUME

Her library was rather small
She read no sad, pathetic
books;
Yet when 1 paid my evening
call
noted well her fearful looks.
With natural curiosity
l thought that 1 should like to
know,
So tried my best to ferret out
The secret of her hidden woe
No thrilling stories had she
scanned,
Nor pictures weird of ghoul-
like shapes;
No heroine's distressful stand,
Nor hero's wild hairbreath es-
capeS.
The volume which had caused her
signs,
And made those lovely lashes
wet,
Was one of smoke which filled
her eyes
Through wrestling with a
cigarette.

struction of a government railroad, a
commission form of government and
other needed legislation for the far
away territory, President Taft declar-
ed there was nothing in the history of

of the federal government to extend
the benefit of its fostering care to
Alaska.
Il am not in favor of government
ownership where the same certainty
and efficiency of service can be had
by private enterprise" said the presi-
dent. "but 1 think the conditions pre-
scented in Alaska are of such charac-
ter as to warrant the government, for
the purpose of encouraging the devel-
opment of that vast and remarkable
territory, to build and own trunk
line railroad which it can lease on
terms which may be varied and chang
ed to meet the growing prosperity and
