1 was about 4s.OOO. so that only about one person in eighteen voted. Rather more than half Of these voted to let the rates stand as they are; one-ffth favored the increase and the remaind CT scattered among four other plans.
 The question affected the pocketbook of every member of the order and the security of all of those dependent upon the organization for death benefits. The problem was one which ertered every Woodman's home. Yet only little more than 3 per cent of them had an opinion which they cared to express. Had the other 95 per cent been asked whether they preferred to fix rate by counting noses or by taking expert advice there would have been a good vote, for that would have presented a simple ques. tior of principle. In general terms it would have been a question whether the membership preferred representa- tive to democratic government in handling all complicated and technical matters.
 Of course any man with common sense prefers representative govern ment for such purposes. and the exper- ierce of the Woodmen in trying to fix an insurance rate by popular vote will be repeated on a larger scale when ever similar questions are submitted to popular vote in state elections.

the clubs all men stand upon a plane of social equality Another thing, the railroad clubhouses assume good be- havior on the part of all who enter them, and there is never seen a sign prohibiting swearing. smoking. expec- torating, or any other improper act. There are no rules of conduct The men arc put upon their manhood and
 upon their good behavior. In an article in a recent issue of the Outlook, the discussion upon this subject closes as follows: Social welfare workers will find food for reflection in the re- markable success of this enterprise, which vigorously suppressed every tinge of paternalism and patronage in order to lay hands upon the most elus- i've, unwitting individual, the adult, independent. selft?respecting worker, and keep him out of danger the danger zone of the saloon And let all men rise up and sing 'selah'"

SAFETY FIRST METHOD WORTH WHILE.

How the Railway clubs of the South ern Pacific have contributed to the Safety First movement is well de scribed in an editorial from the Los Angeles Times:
 The common carriers of the cOun- try have learned that John Barleycorn in the habiliments of Death sits at many railroad crossing, at many a switch, and on many a siding, and rides upon the pilot of a hundred en- zines every day in the week. They might have nailed up the saloon door to their employees, and practically did so by forbiddine a trainman under pain of discharge to enter any habita- tion where John Barleycorn had his domiciIe. The rule would have done little good if they had not discovered more excellent way"
 "BIock systems are good, and so are all other mechanical devices. but unless you get the man at the throttle valve to leave whiskey alone, deaths will occur on the track. By the intro duction of a more excellent way report upon the SoutheEn Pacific sys. tem shows that in four years ended July 90. 1912, 15O,OOO,OOO persons had travelled on trains of that road with out killing a single passenger through collision or deraiIment" Tn one small
 railroad town of 1000 inhabitants,
 twenty-nine saloons had f1ourished, and kept on flourishing in spite of the rule forbidding trainmen to patronize these places. Then the road intro duced its more excellent way" in the establishment of clubhouse to take the place of the saloon. and six months later a dozen of the saloons had closed their doors because theJ would not pay. Two years after the club was opened, only seven of the twenty-nine saloons remained in bus i mess. Guidance was superior to oo- struction, and education left prohibi' ton away behind.
 Something had to be done, for no man was required to pay entrance fees
 nor monthly dues to enter a saloon, so the railroads had to make IRei9 clubs as3 free as water that runs in
 the rivulet or as the air that circu- Iates around the globe. The saloon is
 the most democratic place on earth, where all distinctions are left behind as each man enters the door. So in

RICH STATE IN
 SORE STRAITS.

SORE STRAITS.
 The Nogaleg Oasis. commenting on the Mexico situation, makes this state ruent concerning conditions iE iSo nora:
 "In Sonora there has arisen a new danger, and that is that the Yaquis, who have been the mainstay of the constitutional movement against Huer- ia, have arisen against the state, and are threatening trouble for everybody. They threaten occupation of all the Yaqui delta where there are located many Americans and where many mil lions of American money have been invested, all to be lost. With their defection the state government cannot make headway against the invasion by federal arms; and when the latter are triumphant over the state forces, the problem of handling the Yaquis will be one far greater to solve than is now that of forcing the state into lire.
 "The depreciation of Mexican money is a problem for commercial interests along the border, and there seems no remedy. The Mexican bank notes. which constitute a great part of the circulating medium, are practically ir- redeemable at present. Nobody wants them. and Eearly all who take them do so under protest, while in nearly all places of business they have been rated at forty cents gold on the dol lar. Yet one or two stores in Nogales, Arizona. display signs that Mexican money will be taken without discount. And now another complication iE the financial system is threatened. The state of Sonora is about to issue paper money, a decree to that effect having been promulgated, and the date for it's issue set for September 18th. Rut it is reported that there has been so much objection that the state government hesitates. Following a we'll known law of economics wheE that currency is issued all other forms of money will disappear, and the com mere of the state would be put upon an irredeemabIe paper basis, similar to that which prevailed in the Confeder- ate states during the Civil war and iu the United States Revolutionary war. when prices went soaring, a pair of boots costing several hundred dol lars. ard other commodities in propor. tion.
 'srhe tendency of the best forms or money to disappear in the face of an inferior emission has been mani tested in the exportation from Mexico of their gold and silver coins, which the government has endeavored to stop by a decree of prohibition. Thaz brought out a protest from business men. who represented that they had to use coin for meeting their foreign invoices. It is reported that the state government has arranged to sell ex' change upon American banks to ali needing coin to meet foreign invoices, upon presentation of such invoices at the financial offices Of the state.'
Bisbee daily review., 1913-09-11

Reports that are reaching the bor. der from the south indicate that the state troops in Sonora are being pushed back from Guaymas by Gen. oieda and his federal command. The dissatisfaction of the Yaquis is prov ing to be a serious loss of strength to the eorstitutionalists.

all and Speaks at Luther
College.

DEBORAH was honored YESTERDAY
with the presence of Governor A. o.
Eberhart of Minnesota, who was in
vited by President c. X. Preus of
Luther College and his son, Hon. J.
A. o. Preus, insurance commission
er of Minnesota, to visit DEBORAH and
Luther College while in this section.
He arrived Monday night and yester-
day morning was given a drive about
bile, accompanied by representatives
of the city press. After an hours
drive through the city and out into
the beautiful hills of Madison town
ship, the party went to Luther Col
lege, where he was greeted by the
college band, which played some very
fine selections, and then the student
body assembled in the college chapel.
President Preus requested Mayor H.
j. Green to extend the greetings of
the city to Governor Eberhart, after
which he introduced him to the col
lege students and faculty, and he de-
livered an exceptionally interesting
and forceful address, dwelling upon
the great possibilities open to the
young men of the day. His speech
was given the closest attention and
by frequent and pro-
longued applause. AT noon a lunch
con was rendered to Governor Eber-
hart and the gentlemen accompany
ing him by President and Mrs. C. X.
Preus at their home on college hill.
The governor spent the afternoon

The Evil of the Saloon.

New York Globe:-"A little group
of social and civic workers met the
other day to discuss that much-dis-
cussed subject, the salo n. But the
spirit of their remarks was not one
of unbridled condemnation. Nor
did they limit their sympathetic i'm
agination to the mere statement
that the saloon is the poor mans
club and let it go at that.
lone man at the meeting said
that the saloon is the only wide and
social center that we have, although,
of course the absence of women and
children limits it's function in that
RESPECT. Another said that man
who bought big sandwich for FIVE
cents and a schooner of beer for
another five cents was getting more
for his money than he could get any
where else. A third remarked that
another legitimate appeal of the sa-
loon was it's intellectual freedom A
man could speak his mind there and
would not be judged by the barten-
der. 1t is the only place in our So
cial life where the judge or the pur-
itan does not appear. Still another
SO,ldl WI Ddlu lhdl IHC odlOOh
was the breeding place of all ideas
about labor; here the labor move
ment is started and developed.
These men were not under OBJ
servation and no doubt they meant
their words to be suggestive rather
than completely balanced. They all
see the evil of the saloon, but ii was
suggestive meeting along recent
lines of feeling and thought. The
tendency to regard all growths of So
ciety as being capable of use as well
as Of abuse is marked. And there is
no doubt that the saloons have a
hitherto unsupported vitality for
good. One way to remedy their de-
fects, according to one of the social
workers, would be for the respectable
people to go to them, modify them
for good and perhaps gain some
thing themselves from their demo-
lcracy."

the Week.

The score to 0, the last half of
the ninth, one out, and Harstad
leaps across the plate in a close
steal home, winning the fastest game
OF the year and one of the best ever
played on the home grounds.
The Upper Iowa University boys
came up from Fayette Monday af-
ternoon by auto, and a number from
Fayette and West Union accompanied
them. me game was one of the
best ever seen on the home grounds.
ror nine innings neither side scored,
though U. l. U. came dangerously
close in the fifth when Newcomer
sent a long fly to center that proba-
bly, would have been a home run
had not his coach stopped him at
third. In the last half of the ninth
Harstad for l.. c. got to first on an
error, was advanced by Swanson on
a single, Preus went out an a fly,
Harstad on third Taking a long
chance he made for home on the first
ball up, which fortunately for him
was a wild throw and before. the
catcher could get it and touch him
he had slipped across the plate and
won the game. 1t was a spectacular
finish of as good a game of ball as
anyone wants to see.
The DEBORAH high school team
went to Cresco Thursday to play

grounds, winning a good game by

Decorah's new base ball team, un-
der the management of John Evenson
opened the local semi-pro season
Sunday at the fair grounds in a game
with Clermont, defeating them II to
to 2. A fairly good crowd was out,
considering the fact that a large
number of fans went to Ossian that
day to see Riggs twirl for Ossian
against the Dubuque White Sox, the
latter winning by score of to 4.
The DEBORAH lineup showed al
number of.the old favorites in it; |
Bidne, Hustvedt and Dotseth, the
former two constituting the battery,
Bidne pitching mastery game, dis
playing cid time form. Dotseth
played a star game in the field. The
lineup demonstrated that DEBORAH
has good fast base ball material
and all the team needs now isNbaek-
ing up by the fans, so they gan at
least pay the expenses of the: games
scheduled here.

corahr as Clermont was outclassed in
