LIGHTS TO RESUME SOON.
Many improvements TO Navigation
are Planned for This Summer,

rs soon as the ice breaks up at
Duluth. the lighthouse tender Mari
gold, which wintered at that port, will
set sail, working her way eastward
placing buoys and carrying the light
keepers to the more isolated stations.
Many of the lghtkcepers are now at
Duluth waiting for the Marigold to
clear. Some Of the more isolated
stations the tender will visit on Lake
superior are, Rock of Ages, Isle Roy
ale. Passage Island, Standard Rock
and Granite Island
Of these outlying stations the most
isolated is Stannard Rock, which Is
said to be the most out of the way
station in this country and farthe5t
from any settled district of mail
station.
The Marigold is the first boat Of
the season to reach these stations
and In" last in the winter TO pass
them. She bears the distinction oc
being almost tile last boat to navigate
the isolated parts of Lake Superior i'm
,he winter and the first ia the spring
Every year when nearly all other
boats are laid up for the winter. the
Marirold makes the rounds and takes
the keepers TO port.
II is understood that gas and spar
buoys will DC placed along kewccnav
Point this year, probably at Manltou
and Gull Rock, as further aids to nav
igation. These lights are practically
automatic and said IN he muCh Tn,ra
powerful than any now i'm use.

To PreSerUe National Parks

The Society for the Preservation of National
Parks is just sending out lot of literature in
behalf of their cause
1t is we'll. The parks ought to be preserved
Commercialism and greed said to be encroaching
upon them.
Movements are on foot to preserve nearly every
thing. The elk, the buffalo, the birds, the fish, the
homes of llustrious dead all in for protection
against the conoclast.
The state generally encourages these various good
movements
But with few exceptions the protection is
not extended children that is extended birds and
the fish.
The states license men to prey upon Children to
make punk of their lives debauch and degrade their
bread winner, to take the bread from their mouths,
to make wreckage of their shelter and destroy their
little homes
The state gets part of the profits of this business.
The state says, GO break up these homes, drive
these little into the street and fill the ails with
this social kelp, just that you deliver to the
treasury part of the profits"
The nation devotes the profits from the destruc-
ton of her people to buying guns to kill the
people of some other nation.
1t is praiseworthy to preserve the parks and
everything else worth preserving but don't forget the
children of your community, Of your country.
The world is fast coming to understand that
Christ, when He said He had come to bring a sword,
meant that He had to set in motion battle be-
tween right and wrong that should last until the last
foe of righteousness had been subdued.

James H. Moody

Liquor papers, papers which make their living by
promoting intemperance, putting out whole lot
of expert ooshness ostensiby in the interest of ITEM
perance'
The articles purport to be written by one James
have appeared in fake rural Journal called Town
and Farm.
In the issue for July, Moody sets up shrek
about the proposal of the Anti-Saloon League for
National Prohibition. Moody cries out:
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS NOT TO BE CON-
SUITED PROHIBITION IS TO BE FORCED UPON
THEM BY LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENT.
To obtain this law the resolution submitting question
the ratification of the states will have Congress- If the
resolution Congress- thirsx of the will have
rafy it, whereupon becomes part of the national
tuition
IF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE FOLLOWERS
WERE HONEST IN THEIR CONVENTIONS, THEY
WOULD WANT THE ENTIRE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES TO VOTE ON NATIONAL PRO-
HIBITION.
If James H. Moody, for instance, 'were honest"
he would tell the people that there have been seven
teen amendments made to the constitution, all made
in the Identical manner proposed by the League which
is the only way the constitution can be amended.
The matter is only mentioned in these columns to
show the desperate straits to which these brewery
issues and postpone the termination of their
special privilege.
refuge of lies is the argument in favor of the
liquor business. Subterfuges sophistry fasehood,
perversion of facts, hypocrisy, lyng-these the
defenses to which the friends of the saloon resort.

HOUSE OPPOSFDsTO
 FOREST RESERVATIONS

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-The house has gone on record as being opposed to the national forests being maintained by the government in the state. It adopted resolution by Neal of Polk
 requesting congress to abolish them
 because national forest is a detri- 'ment to people who live in the neigh
 borhood; that all kinds of natural re- sources are withheld from use; that prospecting is not allowed; that valid mining claims are held up; that the national forests are run to favor the big man and not to help the home builder; that homesteads are being taken away from settlers; that timber sales are handled in the interest of ,the lumber trust.

INJUNCTION ARGUMENT
 TO BE TAKEN UP TODAY

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-The argument in the injunction proceedings of Grant vs. Hardage, to enjoin the adoption of the short session amendment will be taken up this afternoon Wednesday, before Chancellor Martineau. Attor- ney General Moose and Assistant At torney General Streepy will speak in opposition to the petition, while Repre- sentatives Sawyer and Osborne will speak in favor of the petition, Repre- sentative Grant, the petitioner, de- clares that he is really in favor of the short term of 60 days, but that he con- siders it necessary that all questions of the validity of the amendment be determined beforehand.
