QUAKE HITS ILLINOIS
Several Towns Are Shaken but
No One Is Killed.

Chicago, northern Illinois and parts
of Wisconsin were Jared by an earth
quake shortly after 10 a. m. The
tremors were distinct in character and
in some of the towns were severe
enough to slam doors, tumble china
from the shelves and drive residents
pell NELL from their homes to the
streets in the fear that the creaking
and grooming of the timbers of their
residences would end in the structures
falling to pieces.
Aurora, Ottawa, DeKalb, Joliet,
Rockford, Elgin, Dixon, Freeport,
Lockport, Yorkville, Sandwich, Men
dota and West Pullman, ILL.,, and Keno
sha, Milwaukee and other Wisconsin
cities are reported feeling the shocks.
No loss of life is reported anywhere.
Reports indicate that the shock was
severest around Aurora. In that city
and neighboring towns chimneys were
felled by the tremors of the earth,
doors were thrown open and telephone
connections interfered with in num-
Der of cases. The quake caused con-
siderable excitement in some of the
towns, many persons, especially house
wives, being frightened by the rattle
of their dishes and other commotion in
homes

foreign office and the chanceleries of
other European powers is proceeding
at the present moment with the great
est activity. The subject of the COM

Efforts are being made both by the
government in Constantinop1e and the
Italian foreign office TO find a possible
basis for the conclusion of peace be-
tween the two countries. Negotiations
regarding the triple alliance are Of
the most important nature, as it is
conceivable that they might result in
the withdrawal of Italy from the al
lance and the consequent strengthen
ing of the triple entente of Great Bri-
tain, France and Russian.

A favorite dish with the Eskimos is
an ice cream made of seal oil into
which snow is stirred until the desired
consistency has been obtained; then
frozen berries of different kinds are
added. This decoction is said to be
about as tempting to the civilized
palate as frozen cod liver oil.

FREDERICK w. BLASTED.

Maine is the original prohibition State It first tried it in 1846, kept it nine years, repealed it in 1855, and again adopted it in 1858, retaining it (nominally) ever since. It has been a failure from the beginning and the change in public opinion has been so great that from a majority of some 10000 when prohibition was adopted, the law was retained by only 75S votes out of a total of 120,000 last year.
 Because of this change of sentiment resubmission of the question to a vote was made a plank of the Demo- cratic platform, with Frederick w. Plaisted as the candidate for Cover nor. Electing a Democratic Governor in Maine is about on a par with elect ing Republican Governor in Texas or Arkansas, yet on this platform of repeal of Prohibition Plaisted was elected.
 Governor Denounces State-Wide.
 Speaking of the farce of prohibition Governor Plaisted said:
 Looking back over all these years of Statewide prohibition in Maine, no fair-minded man can refrain from

Gouernor of Texas Opposes
 State Wide Prohibition

In the Texas Statewide campaign, T. A. Hayes, of Mansfield wrote Gov ernor Colquitt, suggesting that he re- sign his membership in the Methodist Church, because he was billed to speak against State-Wide prohibition at a meeting in Fort Worth. Governor Colquitt sent Mir. Hayes a stinging let ter, of which the following are ex- tracts:
 ''I have been raised to believe that man is a free moral agent, and he has the inalienable right to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. 1 certainly shall not con- cede that my pastor or the members of the Methodist Church have any right to control my convictions on po- litical questions. Prohibition is not a religious issue. This political meth cd of dealing with the temperance question is not taught in the Scrip ture, and it is not to be found in the discipline of the Methodist Church, and the spirit of intolerance suggested in your letter to me will never win in a contest like that which is now pend irg in this State

feelings of disgust. Temperance has not been promoted; but hypocrisy, corruption and disregard for law has been begotten. I am opposed to con- stitutional prohibition, believing the local option law would better serve our purpose"
 Ex-Governor Cobb's Opinion.
 Having given the views of this local option Governor, it is in order to note what his predecessor, Gov. William T. Cobb, said: Governor Cobb was a jealous State-wider. He did his best to enforce the law. He had the Stur- gis law passed, proclaimed as the best enforcement law ever adopted. Even that failed, and, in disgust. Governor Cobb said:
 If I, for the social, economic and moral benefit of the rising generation of the State of Maine, were to choose between the enforcement of prohibi. tion as I have been able to enforce it with my best efforts, if I were to choose between prohibition as I have been able to enforce it and selling rum as freely as sugar over the coun- ter of my store, I would unhesitating- ly declare for free rum."

The good citizen will demand liberty for him sef and as matter of pride he will to it that all others will receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the manner in which minorities treated in that country Not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion but complete liberty for each man to live his life as he desires, provided only that in doing he does not wrong his neigh bors. Wide difference of opinion in matters of religions, political and social belief must exist if conscience intellect alike are not to be stunted
 if there is to be healthy growth Bitter internecine hatreds, based such differences are signs, not of carnestness of belief but of that fanatacism which whether religious ani-religious, demo- cratic or anti-democratic, is itself but manifesto tion of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the downfall of many nations. -
