OUTCOME OF THE sUHL CASE.

The acquittal of Mrs. Augusta Suhl
IN the trial for the murder of her nus
band is naturally meeting with the
criticism of that element OF society
that is always anxious 20 believe the
worst OF everybody. There have been
miscarIiages of justice TO be sure. and
there is no absolute certainty that

LITTLE HARRY AND THE DOG.
The Martial Muse.
(Cor. Burr Oak AcOrn.)
-T--.a-

Little Harry wanted a dog. He had
many arguments with his mother on
the subject. He was sent to a near
by grocery. He was gone SO long that
his mother became anxious. Stepping
TO a window, she saw Harry down the
street manfully pulling on rope, the
other end of which was tied around
the neck of a small dog. The pup
was resisting every step. Braced on
all tours. it was pulling back with
every ounce of its small might and
marking as loudly as possible.
Presently Harry triumphartly en-
tered the room. Mother" he called
won't you let me keep this little dog?

Uncle sam has a big door at New

The immigrant can be stopped at

We have the power and with it the
right TO keep out OF this country those
whom We don't like and don't want.
That is we do keep them out if they

But it happens that the great ma

THIS little skit introduces Mr.. Tom
and Mr.. Jerry, old favOrites on their
annual tour among the provinces. 1t
may be said Of them that like a GER
tain celebrated pair of twins il cannot

While their practice is confined to
limited seasons il is no less true that

Talks on TEMPERANCE
By JAMES c. KELLY

IT dark day for true temperance when the great
sentimental force back of that diverted from
legitimate into political channels. The so-called tenn
perance movement of today no longer vre, effective
force but the vaciatne Ofany political shrewd
enough to play it for the few votes it may control
q The prohtemperance forces which have, as occasion
demanded styled themselves either omnpartsan or non
partisan are alone responsible for their present sad plight
They have held to the theory that the end justified any
means and the they employ have gradually dimn-
ished their following until scores of their ardent
supporters look upon them with dsrust.
Witness the msnamed temperance agitation of today.
1t composed of leaders without armies; gains victories
but results spends millions but buys nothing 1t is
one gigantic farce. In it you will find corrupt office
seekers temperate for political purposes only Down
andouters of every class wildly exOrng the churches
to drop the coins into their itching palms The
names and faces of immortal being paraded at
the head of movement which they denounced The
words of hardened convcts eager their crime
to gain notorety, used to bolster up the cause
The whole thing sickening to honest temperance men
as well as to honest prohbitonist9, but what is
unfortunate is multiplying of the effort expended
toward real temperance. Gradually this gigantic leech.
saated with gains losing its hold upon churchmen
as well as other honest followers.
ORGANIZATIONS like men, subject TO internal disorders

of astronomical intemperance. Love and may be
