AZ Elks In A Pile.

Spokane, Jan. IA. About 999
men out of 1000 in this country
never see a live sure-enough elk
outside of a zoo. Yet thousands
of elk are being wantonly killed
in Montana this winter.
The Government has been care
fully preserving the few wild elk
left by herding them in TIE yell
lCwstone national park. But the
park stretches for miles and
miles, and when the SHOWS come
the elk leave the park and hunt
better pasture on the lower levels.
Montana has no especial game
laws about elk, and the pot hunt
ers lay lay across the lines and
shoot the bands as they come out
Of the park.
A photograph, taken recently
at the depot platform at Gardiner,
Mont, shows how the slaughter
goes. There are forty-two elk
carcasses, in this picture. The
same day there were twenty-five
carcasses on the platform at Liv-
ingston and from three to a doz-
en- at the way stations.
The Government has thousands
of soldiers loafing at Western
barracks, but only q feeble
squadron or two are detailed to
protect the park reserve.

A Terrific Explosion,
In J. |. Clements Kitchen.

Tuesday morning at eight
O'Clock. residents and passers by,
on South Main street were shock
ed by an explosion which slight
ly resembled an earthquake.
1t was soon learned that the
report which sounded so ominous
and which at first was so myster-
ious, was an explosion in the
water box of the kitchen range
where breakfast was being pre-
pared at the residence Of Jeff
Clement, caused by the freezing
of the water pipes. Fortunately
Mr.. Clement and all the family
were unhurt and the cook was
out just at the time also, other
wise there might have been some
fatality. The range was COM
pletely demolished, windowpanes
broken, curtains burned, plaster
ing cracked and much havoc
played. The escape of Mr..
Clement we consider almost a
miracle as he was only a few feet
away and working with the froz-
en- pipes trying to thaw them
when the explosion came, but he
did not receive a scratch.

to passage and to Senator John D. Works of Cali
forna for his able efforts to the end.
During the discussion the bill Senator Mar

of the vested rights of those in the saloon business

licenses within 800 feet of any alley used for resi-
dence purposes places commonly called slurns,
and within 600 feet of any schoohouse school of
any kind, 500 feet of any place of religious
ship Senator Hepburn of Idaho also made speech

the evil by this bill, but when the yea and nay vote

The United States senate committee for the Dis

DRASTIC LIQUOR MEASURES with the idea of
whipping into shape bill that, when reported to the
senate, will pass. The Anti-Saloon League of the
United States is making the effort of its life to bring
about this result. No one ia Washington, with the
exception of hired agtators desires any change in
the existing law.

Ii YOU think we are on the right track,
we ask YOU to join us in an honest ef-
fort for the uplift Of the great masses
by giving them better chance. 1t an
education is desirable, let us work to-
gether for the correction Of what now
stands in the way. The future wei
fare of the State is calling for more
than twenty to thirty months of school
life. The same money that we are
spending today can be more wisely ex-
pended by different distribution. The
condition of the vast majority of our
people is such that very small per
cent. can afford to keep their children
in school for eleven years. If the full
course is to be taken, college and pro-
fessional, young man must spend the
first twenty-six years of life in the at
tainment. Only the young man with
money can afford to be spender with
out the making of dollar until he has
reached his twenty-sixth year.
Another much needed change is to be
found in the correction of the false no
tons that have seized the fathers and
the mothers of this republic. The aver
age father is giving entirely too little
attention to the rearing Of his boys. He
is giving himself up entirely to the race
after the almighty dollar. His greed
is finding exenplifcation in over-ir-
diligence, in allowing his boy to draw
out of school and take job before he
is able to understand what life really
means. A little change in the family
government of North Carolina would
work wonders.
Cheap, second rate colleges, chartered
to confer degrees, grant diplomas, and
employ other such agencies as will at
tract with the. sole idea of getting dol
lar under misapprehension, is like
wise exerting a baneful influence. In
the existence of these Our thinking leg
islaturemen may Eld a valuable lesson
on which they can prohtably mediate
for the good of the State. A college
should be the real thing or it should not
be countenanced by the law-maklng
power of State.
We deem it fit and proper that we
speak of these matters for the reason
that the Knights of Pythias is essen
TALLY a promoter of education. Indeed
without education the Knights Of Py-
thias can not hope to exist. Its strong
est apueals are to the intelligent man.
Its glory is the educated manhood that
composes its roster. So it will ever be
if every Pythian will but exercise his
influence in forwarding every project
that has for its aim the betterment Of
the great masses.-Carolina Python.

KIND WORDS.
(Yorkville Enquirer).

The Newberry Herald and News, tre-
mendously pleased over the reelection
of Governor Blease, whose cause it has
championed for years is congratulatlng
everybody and everything that contri-
buted to that event. We want to say
that while The Herald and News has
been an outspoken champion Of its
friend, the governor, at all times, it
has all the while conducted itself as a
clean, self-respecting newspaper, and
if it has done anything to lower itself
in the estimation of fair minded peo-
ple, we are unable to recall the cir
cumstance. 1t has fought long, hard
and fair, and has continued to be a
newspaper all the while. And it gives
us pleasure to say that the Newberry
Observer, which fought on the other
side, is also entitled to equal credit for
the cleanness and fairness Of its con-
duct, in the most trying ordeal through
which any two rival South Carolina
newspapers have had to pass for years.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-10-11

But the question is will Blease allow
peace? He never has yet, in fact his
political success has depended on
keeping alive strife and bitterness, in
arraying class against class and keep
ing alive prejudice and factionalism.
If the Blease people want peace (and
certainly they should, as they are
victors) let them prove it by their
words and actions. Above all, the
governor is the one to show whether
he desires it or not If he will act so
as to retain the respect of the people
who opposed him, all will be we'll, but
he need not expect anything else but
criticism if his administration does not
show improvement over the past two
years.-Bamberg Herald.
Who is stirring up strife now-the
governor and those who supported
him, or the Bamberg Herald? With the
war Just ended, and the dove of peace
trying to alight, here comes the Bam-
berg Herald and utters piercing war
whoop and frightens it away. Give the
dove a chance to descend.
