WHAT PROHIBITIONISTS OF THIS
STATE WILL WORK FOR THIS YEAR

The following platform was adop-
ted at the Prohibition state conven-
tlon held on July 9Th:
We, the Prohibitionists of the
State of Minnesota, in Convention
assembled this fifth day of July, 1912,
assert our belief in God as the mem
Der of all just government.
We hold in derision the liquor IL
cense laws of our statute books,
which assume that citizen may
purchase froin his equal a right
which the same laws imply, and the
courts have asserted that no one pos
sesses. We favor the repeal of such
laws.
We invite to fellowship all men on
the following principles:
l. We maintain that the bever-
age liquor traffic is the greatest of
all moral. social, and political evils,
and its destruction is the paramount
duty of state and national govern
ments, and should be the greatest
political issue.
2. We favor legislation granting
the right to vote the saloon out by
counties. Our candidates for the
legislature have alwaysstood square
ly for all such legislation both before
and after their election "a record
unrivalled by other organizations.
8. We favor the conservation of
our commerce, our resources, and
our business enterprises, but also we
hold that our homes, our churches
and schools, and our boys and girls
should be protected from the glut-
tonous rapacity of the saloon.
A. We demand the strict enforce
ment of the laws pertaining to the
unspeakable traffic in girls common
" known as the white ssslave traffic.
5. We favor reinstatement of the
law requiring temperance instruc-
ton in our public schools, which was
found in our statutes prior to 1905.
6. We favor the initiative and ref
erendum legislation and the recall I

Political Notes.

The Burlington Enterprise got some
James Mercer Davis with the Senatorial
nomination in this county. 1t announced
Mr.. Davis as inviting defeat by avowins
| himself a candidate Oh the Democratic
ticket. This aroused the indignation o.
the gentleman who wants 1t understood
he is Republican and will seek the nom

His brother, who Is Senator from Salem
county, is a Democrat and James thinks
1t just as we'll to have matters divided In
the same family.
This is the day when New Jersey patri-
OTIS will get out and save the country.
The polls for the election of delegates and
aternates to the National conventions
will open at one O'Clock and close at nine
O'Clock.
There was much rejoicing among Demo-
Gratis in Atlantic county when the County
Board of Taxation removed the secretary
of the Board and filled his place with a
Democrat. All protests on the part of
Republicans were met with sneers and
laughter but these were changed later.
The Civil Service Commission called the
Atlantic County Tax Board before them
and asked why the Republican secretary
was removed. The answer was that the
change was purely for political reasons.
The Commission then gave notice that
such action would not stand and the
Republican secretary will be reinstated
unless his ineficiency or neglect of duty
can be shown

Editor THE News:
Only those intimately acquainted will
the Soldiers Home at Kearney, N. j., car
understand the many changes for the bet
ter that have taken place since the iucum
bency of Gen. E. Burd Grubb as superin
tendent. Its newly painted buildings, its
well kept lawn, improved table, etc, al
attest to this fact, and these are but few
of the things the General has done.
Perhaps the two most conspicuous i'm
provements for the veterans welfare are
the open gate and the issuing of an order
which permits the old fellows In the dor
mitories to lie on their beds during the
daytime. The latter was boon that the
old warriors had longed for but hardly
expected to realize. Heretofore, when II
the dormitories, during the day they were
obliged to sit in chairs none too comfort
able, and as many of the men are sufferers
from wounds and disease, this was hard
ship.
The open gate also has been great
boon. Previously 1t was necessary tc
secure pass to leave the ground
Another thing inaugurated is frequent
entertainments in the chapel, consisting Of
musical concerts, dramatic performances,
etc.
This story would not be complete with
out q reference to the Generals lovely
wife and charming daughter Violet The
former has endeared herself to the
veterans by the kindly interest she takes
In them, and the latter by her sunny dis
position and gentle manner which makes
her the idol of the camp.

Aquatic Notes.
Anglers should not forget the fact that
the law prohibits the use of two fishing
lines at one time.
A fine pike 81 inches long was caught
In the upper creek on Sunday morning.
Parties In the same boat captured two
other pike, club and bass The latter
was placed back into the water In order to
comply with the law.
The clearing of sluice enables canoists
to save quite distance when padding on
the upper creek by cutting across Ross
cove when the water is high enough for
that purpose. The opening is not suffl-
GENTLY large for boats to pass through.
The State Fish and Game Commission
has expressed its disapproval of the law
which makes different dates, and only ten
days apart, for the opening of the pike
and bass season. This is one item In the
fish laws that should be changed next
year.
The season for bass will open on Thurs
day, and 1t is safe to say that there will
be some early risers on that morning
A number of fishing parties have been ar
ranged for that occasion, as the date, fall
ing on Memorial day, makes 1t a legal
holiday.
The swimming season was opened at
the mill dam on Sunday. Boys were seen
enjoying dip 10 the pool at that point
which became popular as bathing resort
two years ago. There we're also many
shivering bathers enjoying the sport at
the King street bridge.
In pursuance of his official duty, Fish and
Game Warden Charles G. Morton OCCASION
ally appears at convenient places along the
upper creek to keep an eye on some
anglers who may need watching. A good
warden will always enforce the law, and
Morton has record of belonging to that
class.
The pleasant weather on Sunday brought
out long string of pleasure seekers who
spent considerable time on the upper
noes were In use. The low water prevent
ed many people from entering the coves,
which form part of the scenery along
that stream.
Persons wanting live bait during the
pike and bass season can get them of
Bradford Herbert living on Church street,
who will endeavor to keep a supply ON
hand for the accommodation of anglers.
BRAD" is one of the successful fishermen
In these parts, and his plan of serving
minnows will be highly appreciated.
The uncertainty to be experienced in
pike fishing was forcibly illustrated In the
case of Charles and Albert Middleton, of
Marlton. on the first day of the season.
Had they not understood the popularity
of pike they might have returned home
empty handed and Disguised But the
men waited patiently until the middle of
the afternoon, when this species of game
fish began to bite, and In less than two
hours the anglers landed 80 fine pike,
some of them weighing three pounds each.
While the men were waiting for the pike
to get hungry, they caught 80 large sun
fish. They returned with one of the finest
strings of fish ever seen In that neighbor-
hood.
