An association to be known as
1.-The Woman's National Democratic
league has been incorporated in
New York, and its purpose is to pro-
mote the principles of democracy
and to ''assist in the election of the
regular nominees of the democratic
party This league will prove of
more value to the nominees than a
great many people may think. The
women will enter upon their work
with enthusiasm and will succeed in
swinging many vote.

Bob La Toilette, in his magazine
gives Roosevelt hot raking over,
and says that when the progressive
movement gave promise of national
success the would-be dictator butted
in and split it to pieces. To a man
up tree it looks as if this is the
very thing which he did and, be-
sides, he succeeded in practically dis
organizing the republican party.

A decision has been handed down
by the state supreme court which
settles the question of the. liquor il
cense vote. The court holds that
to carry license it is necessary that a
majority Of all the votes cast be
polled in it's favor, and not a MAORI
ty OF the votes cast on the liquor
question alone. This finding was
made on question submitted by the
village Of Warren in which the lower
court is sustained, and Warren will
consequently have to remain @'dry.''

WILSON And CLARK.

The national democratic convention
concluded it's labors at Baltimore on
Tuesday afternoon after a strenuous
seven days session. Governor Wood
row Wilson Of New Jersey was nomi-
mated for president on the 46th bal
lot, he having received 1888 votes,
more than the requisite thirds
necessary to nominate. Champ
Clark's friends made gallant fight
for him and more than 300 delegates
remained loyal to him on the last
ballot, even when Wilson's nominal
tion was a certainty.
1t was long drawn out contest
and much bitter feeling was engen-
dered as the balloting progressed.
Bryan made an uncalled for attack
on Clark and the New York delega-
ton which was hotly resented. But
the breach was healed before the
convention adjourned. Bryan placed
Mr.. Clark in nomination for vice
president and he was nominated
midst a storm of huzzas.
1t is strong ticket, one that even
a united republican party could not
easily defeat. Under conditions as
they exist the election of Wilson and
Clark is almost foregone conclusion.
The nomination of Wilson virtually
eliminates Roosevelt and Bryan from
national politics, and they never will
be missed
William Howard Taft has made
an excellent chief executive of the
nation and his place is secure in the
history of the country, but he will
be a one-term president.

A Good Law.

There is law in Michigan which
permits wife to sue a saloonkeeper
for damages who has sold her
husband liquor from which he has
become intoxicated. The law was
recently tested before the supreme
court of Michigan and was upheld:
The adoption, by all the states, of
this law, would unquestionably do
much toward alleviating- the condi-
tion of wives with drunken hus-
bands, besides putting decided
check, on the liquor traffic. Prison

The fellows who took moving pic

''Of What use are governors So
called military staffs?' asks an old
soldier. "Are they merely main
tanned for ornamental purposes or
used for running errands?" A gov
ernor's staff, SO far as we can ascer-
tain, is an organization created SOLE
ly for the purpose of impressing the
people with the Importance of the
states chief executive when he at
tends county fairs, horse shows,
suffragette conventions, etc. 1t is
one of the duties of each member of
the staff upon such occasions to point
to the governor with pride and pro-
claim his virtues. So far as running
errands is concerned there are times
when the colonies are of much SER
vice to governor. For instance.
when he seeks reelection he sends
them forth throughout the state to
deliver typewriter speeches, usually
prepared by his private secretary,
and pays their expenses, perhaps,
from his contingent fund. Some
colonies, however, pay their own ex-
spenses, but they are mighty few. A
governor s staff is of no use whatever
to the people at large and should be
put out of commission and kept out.

ment of Smith is indefensible from
any viewpoint.

ROADS HOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.

4 Just at present many good people
are unduly exercisedsoyer the selec-,
tion of candidates for office, state
and national, as if the salvation Of
the country depended upon the sue
cess of this or that candidate, when
in reality it makes but precious
little difference to the people at
large who is clothed with a little
brief authority. L. I.
But the question of bettering the
public highways of our state is all
important-is question that vitality
affects more people than any or all of
the other issues combined. IL
Good roads can be secured only by
liberal and intelligent expenditure of
means. The first step in the direc-
tion Of better highways is the adop-
tion Of the one-mill tax amendment
at the ensuing general election, to
be followed by the enactment of
simple yet comprehensive legislation
that will provide for systematized
road work by towns and counties. and
the proper maintenance of roads.
The present system of town road dis
tricts, with from 10 to 20 road dis
trlcts and as many oyerseers of high
ways in each town, is an abomina-
ton. Under such a system it is i'm
possible to have uniformity, and
more roads are spoiled than mended.
Then the system of ''working OUT,
poll and land road taxes is wrong.
In most cases better results could he
obtained from the intelligent expen-
diture Of 500 in cash than $500 in
labor.
But the apathy, and in many in
stances the utter Indifference, of the
people who should be most interested
in bettering the public highways is
appalling.
IT the one-mill tax amendment is
adopted at the November election
and is supplemented by the neces-
sary legislation the state can assist
very materially in road Improvement
can assist to the extentof sl4, 900 on
an average to each county annually.
But if there is to be any general i'm
provement in the condition of our
public highways the. towns and coun-
ties must do their sshare-must CO.
operate with the state. 1t is impos-
sible. to secure the best results under
the present township system of hand
ling road work. ,s.:... &. A. .@HyoH
The advocates of better roads must
not be discouraged at the apathy
manifested in many quarters; they
must continue the good work. Road
conditions are better. today than
they were a year ago. Slowly but
surely the general public is awaken
ing to the absolute necessity of bet
tering the public highways of our
state.

What Will Moses Do?
Moses u. Clapp is our United
States senator and his term is not.
near out. He was elected as a re-
publican and holds his office as such.
but he has left the republican party
and has accepted a place on a COM
mittee to organize a new party. This.
new party is opposed to the election
of the republican nominee for presi-
dent and will no doubt do it's utmost
to defeat Mr.. Taft. Will Moses still
hang on to his republican office while
opposing that party and it's candi-
dates? and if he does will he be sus-
talned in doing SO? One would
naturally say that if he cannot re-
nam republican he should at least
resign bis office and go into this fight
clean-handed. No man can serve
two masters. -Montevide Leader.
