Seven Daughters Enough.

The Rev. John w. Cavanaugh, presi-
dent OF Notre Dame College, tells OF a
priest who was giving lecture on the
evil of great wealth. In the audience
was a man the priest knew. The man
was the father OF seven girls, and the lee
turer pointed TO this man as an example.
Think" said the priest, ''of being the
proud father of seven daughters. Think
who is happier-the man with a million
dollars or the man who is the father OF
seven daughters.
81 will ask you, MIR. Sheldon, who do
you think is the happier ?" said the priest,
pointing TO the subject OF his argument.
The man arose and said: "Esiher,
think that a man with seven daughters is
happier. A man with million collars
worries for more. A man with seven
daughters never does"

VIM. r. Thompson on the Prohibition
Amendment.

Asserting that his personal views as to
the merits of the prohibition amendment
are of no public consequence, but that
the people have a right TO inquire as to
what his Official attitude would be toward
il if he were elected, William r. Thomp-
son, Democratic nominee for Governor,
has made known his position in no un-
certain terms. The statement as to his
attitude on the prohibition amendment
was made in every one of Mr.. Thomp-
sons speeches last week. AT Elizabeth
in his speech last Saturday he said:
al have received many letters from
many parts of the State as to my position
on the prohibition amendment. This is
the second time this amendment has
been submitted to The voters of this State
and each time it has been submitted by a
Democratic legislature. The Democratic
party has always believed and believes
now that the people should rule; and
whenever afeasonable number OF citizens
of the State ask for an opportunity to
vote upon any vital question, that oppor-
tunity should be given to them. This is
social and moral question and one Vi
tally affecting every citizen OF the State
1t should therefore be passed upon free
from any entanglements and divorced
from all questions which might distract
the attention of the voters from the moral
question involved. For that reason the
Democratic party has made no declara-
tion on this subject in its platform. AS
candidate of that party, have no author
ity to add or detract from the platform OF
the convention which nominated me. MY
personal views OF this question are not OF
importance and could not affect the de-
termination of the question cne way or
he other. There is one question, how
ever, about which every advocate OF the
adoption of the amendment, as well as
every voter in this State, has right to
inquire and be informed, and that is
whether or not, if elected, ! would en-
force the law OF the State. This is but
another way of inquiring as to whether
or not am an honest man. And upon
this question am willing TO stand or fall
by the testimony of my neigllbors and ac-
quaintances. | do, however, say that II
the amendment should be adopted and !
should be elected, ! will use Ill honorable
means TO make it effective and will en-
deaver to the utmost of my ability to see
that every law passed in pursuance there
of is faithfully and honestly executed in
the spirit as well as in the letter OF the
law"

prices in the United States, arbitrarily
and without regard to the prices pertain
ing elsewhere in the markets OF the world; (;

every schedule which affords an oppor-
tunity for monopoly, for special adyan-
tage to limited groups of beneficiaries, or
for subsidized control Of any kind in the
markets or the enterprises ofthe country |;
Until special favors of every sort shall

where they will create the least burden.
When we shall have done that, we can

penalty on the people of the State should

to pay out of the State treasury not only

adoption of tile prohibition amendment,
but providing further that all others who
might set up claims of "pecuniarY loss in
their business, calling or employment shall
be paid out of the State treasury just
compensation for all such damage, injury
or pecuniary loss" That's to say, every
man who chose to assert that the closing
of the saloons, &c, had injured his busi-
ness should have the right to set up a
claim and have if paid out OF the money
of the taxpayers. Consider this invita-
tion to loot the treasury. Imagine the
