going to start something on our

- Preparations for the state falr
are under way. Several machines
are being made ready, and we pre-
dict that the Minnesota Irvine,

hibited will be second to none.
There are two sides to every
story:-About two weeks ago the
Richness Imperial Vaudeville and
Photo Plays Co., played Saltwater
and during their stay gave the in
mates of this institution an enter
tainment which was hugely enjoyed.
Later, a party outside, who must
have heard the members of the Co.,
spring few dry jokes, took upon
himself the tbankless task of criti-
sizing them and taking a dig at US
at the same time. The entertain
ment, as given here, was good, and,
as before stated, was enjoyed, but
instead of m aking some of the
Guys" as we were called, hang
their heads and sob, it created moth
ing but merriment. We do not
often get as good an entertainment
as that given by the Reiness Co.,
but one and all, we at least have the
good grace to show our apprecia-
ton to those who freely give of
their time and talents to grant us a
few moments pleasure. We may be
Guys and "Burleys,' though we
object to such terms, but remember
this, friend, the boys here have trav-
eled many, many miles away from
the little old home town and have
seen much.

Tell them how fell,
Came the warning message
From the drunkard's prison cell.
Much has been written and said on
the curse Of the liquor traffic, and it
is generally agreed, by the con-
currence of opinion of every CIV
ilized and Christian community:
there are few sources of crime and
misery to society equal to the dram
shop, where intoxicating liquors are
sold unfortunately to all parties
applying.
The statistics of every State show
a greater amount of crime attribute
BILE to this than from any other
source. The liquor problem is not
question of personal liberty; or if
you do not wish to drink it. let it
alone! The question is: Is the sa
loon an upholder of the law. or is it
an outlaw? Let the highest author
ity answer the question. l quote
from the late United States Supreme
Justice Field: The Saloon is an
Outlaw. Even liberty itself is not
unrestricted license to act according
to ones own will. 1t is only free
dom from restraint under conditions
essential to the enjoyment of the
same rights by others. 1t is then
liberty regulated by law.
1t is urged that as liquors are
used as a beverage, and the injury
following them, if taken in excess, is
voluntarily inflicted, and is confined
to the party offending, their sale
should be without restrictions, the
contention being that what a man
shall drink equally with what he
shall eat is not properly matter for
legislation. There is in this posi-
ton an assumption of fact which
does not exist, that when the liquors
are taken in excess the injuries are
confined to the party offending. The
injury, it is true, first falls upon him,
in his health which the habit under
mines, in his morals which it weak
ems, and in the self-a basement which
it creates, but as it leads to neglect
of business and waste of property
and general Generalization, it affects
those who are Immediately connect
ed with and dependent upon him.
The sale of such liquors In this
way has therefore been at all times
a proper subject for legislative reg
ulation. For that matter, the sale
by the glass may be absolutely pro-
hibited. 1t is , question of public
expediency and public morality, and
not of federal law. There is no in
herent right of citizen to sell in
toxicating liquors by retail; it is not
a privilege of citizen of he United |
States"
Truth is mighty and will finally
prevail, and men may pass away,
but their sayings and acts live for
ever.
Coming a little nearer home, and
now more to the point, how many
of the boys in here can remember
crossing the Red river from North |
Dakota, because a few years ago
b a t state adopted constitutional
prohibition, and they did not want
to reside in state where there was
no saloons? Again / remember the
prediction was made freely by lead
ing newspapers that the towns in
that state would decline for lack of
revenue from the saloons. and that
Minnesota towns just across the Red |
river, which divides the two states.

WAR IN COTTON STATES
LEAGUE COMES TO AN END
Directors Held Meeting at Jack
son Wednesday, and Reached
Amicable Settlement.

Mr.. ]. G. Weatherly has re-
turned from Jackson, where he
went to represent the Columbus
Baseball Association at a meet
ing of the directors of the Cotton
States League.
The meeting was called for
the purpose of settling a dispute
regarding the sale by Yazoo Oity
to Jackson of two players, Tepe
and Chenny. 1t was thought
that the sale of these two players
would so weaken the Yazoo City
team that it would go to pieces.
but assurances were received
that the club would certainly
finish out the season, and there
is not the slightest danger of the
leagues becoming disintregated.
President Lewis rendered his
resignation, but the d rectors de-
clined to accept it, and he will
remain at the head of the league.
