Butler Tneater

One of the largest crowds of the
season attended the Butler theater
last night, the attraction being "Trip
Van Wrinkle" 1t was certainly en-
joyed by everyone. For tonight an
other good program will be shown
as follows: "Pathe Weekly of Cur
rent Events" "The Hobo Club
House." Lubin comedy; 1.-THE Prison
Ship" big Kalem historical drama;
won At High Tide" a screaming
comedy which will make you laugh
from start to finish, and an educa-
tional picture, Spring Log Driving,
Maine" In this descriptive film a
fair conception is given of the mil
lions of feet of timber that are hewn
in the lumber camps every year. The
photography is splendid and the
scenes abound with natural beauty
and spectacular interest. A worthy
successor to Winter Logging in
Maine"

Primary Election Law
We pledge our legislative candi-
dates TO the enactment of sweeping
amendments to the present primary
law, which in its self is nothing short
of farcial. We favor such amend
ments that viii prohibit voters from
! flocking from one standard to an
other without a declaration Of their
I political faith. We believe in the
sanctity Of the ballot and urge that
secrecy be continued, but are oppos-
ed TO the present construction of the
primary law that allows fraud being
perpetrated.

The past four years of republican
rule in this nation has been such
that we again give our hearty en-
dorsement to the platform and can
didates presented by the national re.
publican convention. Never has the
country been confronted with such
problems and situations as have
arisen during the last four years,
and never have such problems been
handled with such skill and courage.
President Taft has demonstrated his
fitness for the office he now holds,
and for which he is a candidate for
reelection, and though assailed by
agitators and deeried by Theorists,
the condition Of the United States
today is tribute to his performance
Of every duty demanded.
The state republican platform and
candidates likewise receive our
unanimous endorsement

state government to conform with
the revenues Of the state and prevent
the further issuance Of bonds to meet
the deficit in the general fund.
The State Bank Receivership

down in this State advocating
the adoption of the proposed tax
reform amendment, including
Governor Hall, state in their
speeches that only fourteen
members Of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes voted against the
adoption of the amendment.
That is true. But they don't
tell the people that there were a
lot of the members of that House,
that did vote for it, that reser-
we'd the right to vote against it
in the November election. The
editor of the Leader was in Baton
Rouge and was in the House Of
Representatives when the final
vote on this tax amendment was
taken. He heard quite a num-
Der of members, when their
names were called, explain their
votes. Most Of these stated that
they were opposed to the plan
but were willing to let the peo-
pie decide the matter for them
selves and for that reason, and
that reason only, voted YES

We have known the Hon. Ed

classed as being the one great
luminary of the State, but
beside the law he is theatrical.

brain he would never have eyolv-
ed the tax revision which he has
segregated from California
and other States, and which he
have foisted on the people.

The Governor seems to think
hat because Edgar Fl. Farrar,

also favor it. Every one !
,nows that Edgar H. Farrar re- :

MR.. SCHELL IS VERY
BUSY LEASING
Land.

Mr.. j. Franklin Schell, the
general manager Of the Union
Irrigation Company, since his re-
turn here two weeks ago, is try
ing to crowd the work of a month
into a forenight, his time and
attention being demanded by
rice farmers and others who are
insistent on getting the promise
of land for rice farming for next
year.
Several thousand acres of land
have been leased from owners
for periods of from three to five
years and this in turn is being
let out to farmers as fast as ac-
CURED. To accomplish this has
meant frequent trips by Mr..
in his auto out into the.
plains a distance OF from
to twenty miles.
The company have some land
Of its own which win also be put
in rice for next year. While the
results attained in rice growing
this year have been very salts
factory. an expert rice grower
Of another state remarked that
this years growth here was in
sense a test Of what can be
with the land in the grow
ing of this cereal along the canal
IF the Union Irrigation Company.

The American Magazine. and it
is published in the November
number of that periodical:
was called back by politics
and have charge of the Kansas
campaign and will be here from
now until November. / think
you fellows over-emphasize Roos-
evelt. He is a mere incident to
this new party. IF you had been
with me through the four or five
days session of the sub-commit-
tee on platform and through the
all-night session of the General
Committee and il you had seen
the crowd and understood the
spirit of the session of the Pro-
gressive party, you would under
stand that Roosevelt is not the
Progressive party. but that the
gghting men in the progressive
ranks of both parties are in this
thing and mean businest and no
mau on earth can divert them.
The Progressive party is here to
stay as the definitely radical
party of this Nation and If any
man tries to divert it TO his per-
sonal ends. so much the worse
for that man. The Progressive
party is here to stay and | am
satisfied it is going to have a
place, peehaps not a winning
place, but definite in American
politics for the next coming thirty
years during a great stirring
movement in our country, a
to change the environ
ment of poverty so that what
ever Of poverty is due to environ-
ment may be removed. That is
the meaning and core Of the
Progressive movement.
Change the environment of men
IN these conditions so that en-
vIronment may not react and
cause chronic poverty, that is an
idea bigger than Theodore Roos-
bigger than the tariff and
than any little two-by-four
scheme of reform that ever has
struck anyparty. Thir Progress
sive movements a great human
itarian movement and that is
why it IS guided by the passion
for humanity as evidenced in all
its writings and all Of its
work

Not many days are left for the
people to consider the new taxa
ton scheme, a scheme or plan
which is radical and far-reaching
in effect. Il adopted, no one is
able to say with any degree of
certainty what will be the ulti-
mate results to our people and
their property interests, On the
one hand those who are respon-
sible for it claim that great good
will be accomplished by it's adop-
ton, while on the other hand
there are those who calm its
adoption will mean disaster. The
peoplemust decide for themselves
and in order to do SO, they
should take the trouble to inform
themselves in order that they
may act intelllgently and to their
own interests. -Iberville South.

almost sixty members single attorney who will de-
fend a blind pigger saloonkeeper. Not only have
the lawyers held their meetings, but the physicians of
this county, almost without exception too have ap-
peared and conducted their mass meetings, in which
they set forth the virtues of temperance and depicted
the diseases and suferngs that result of intem

the merchants have learned that cannot spend

Rockford Saloons Did Not Abolish Blind Pigs

Don't take my word for it. Ask Chief Bargren
how many government licenses there are in the city of
Rockford today He will tell you that each of the
drug stores-twenty- in number, has one, that
the dstllery has and the brewing company has the
other. There is not in the city of Rockford today

the men in power who believe in temperance city,
has also gone the last vestge of what little red light
district that at time sustained here. Further
than that Rockford has Sunday theater no Sunday
billiard halls no Sunday moving picture shows. The
natural conclusion is that when you put temperance
in power, who mean business, that you get lot
