In last weeks issue of the local
papers there appeared an article
under the caption, "Think 1t Ov-
err" which contained much unsav-
DRY sentiment in regard to h e
good name of this city. We do
not believe that the statements
made will seriously impress River
Falls citizens, those who live here
and know the true conditions, but
to those of other communities who
send their children here to school
the article might truly have caus-
ed much anxiety and po s b / y
aroused a sentiment of distrust.
For that reason we believe that
it should be remarked upon and
several of the paragraphs con-
tanned therein strongly disputed.
The article was written in behalf
Of the no-license campaign. d
the writer, in his fervor for the
cause, probably failed to note the
general evil reflection his remarks
implied. The trend of the open
ing lines is to the effect that par
ents should not send their child
rem to the local Normal school be-
cause of the licensed saloons "that
are a constant temptation to the
boys and girls entrusted to u.s."
The saloon is no temptation to the
Normal school student The man
agement of the school attends to
that in a thorough manner. We
do not believe that Norm |
school student has been found this
year lettering or drinking in
local saloon. Another paragraph
refers to the "open saloon and
other places of vice detrimental
TO the best interests of these young
people," Whether or not there are
"other places of vice" would de-
pend upon the Interpretation of
the words, but we know Of no
places which would be classed in
that category, and the saloons are
certainly conducted as well or bet
ter than in majority of the cit
les. As to the inference that the
people of River Falls are not per-
forming their duty in regard to
watching over them the students
as over their own children"
we are certain that every student
who has ever been to this school
will say that they were never made
to feel so much at home outside
their own family circle as n Riv-

Death Of a Confederate Vet
eran.

! +, . :,
The announcement was received
here Sunday of the death Of Mr.. j.
H. A. Williams which occurred at
his home in the Pbil;ppi section
Saturday. Several days after the
election Mr.. Williams, accompanied
by Mr.. L. V. Claxton. came up to
Edgefeld and was very cordially
greeted as usual by his friends here.
Soon after returning to his home he
became a victim of pneumonia. Mr..
Williams had practically recovered
from this dread disease, however,
when some form of heart trouble
manifested itself, which was the i'm
mediate cause of his death.
Mr.. Williams made an honorable
record as Confederate soldier and
since the war he has always taken
an active interest in the things that
are dear to the heart of the Con.
federate veterans. He was a man of
sterling qualities. He was honcred
and greatly beloved not only in his
Immediate community but wherever
he was known everybody had a kind
word for him. Mr.. Williams was a
member of Phil:ppi church and his
pastor, DR.. A. T. King, officiated
at the funeral. The Masons also par
ticipated in the ceremony.

the sale of vodka from which it has
received 500 millions a year. We

Volga, Aug. 11.-After admitting
his crime to the officers who caught
him after a sharp chase with auto
mobiles, Theodore Nelson, charged
with an outrageous attack upon an
~11-year-old girl here, waived prelim-
mary examination before Judge Kali

of $4,000.
The little girl. according to her
story TO her mother and the authori-
ties, had been in the country west of
here and was on her way home when
Nelson, driving in tine same direction,
overlook her. He offered to give her
a ride to town, which she accepted.
She asserted in her statement to the
officers that Nelson robbed her OF

cusation Nelson denied the crime and
started to run. He was finally over

GERMAN Liner MAY
Be BRITISH PRIZE

New York, Aug. 11.-From two
sources came a report to New York
that the North German Lloyd liner
Kronprinz Wilhelm had been captur-
ed by the British cruiser Essex and
taken to Bermuda as a prize.
The liner Narragansett reported
having heard a wireless message to
this effect and the manager of the
Royal Mail steam packet, whose
ships run to Bermuda. said he heard
a similar report.
The report is given some credence
here in view of the announcement by
the Canadian government, made al
Ottawa, that the Essex has advised the
Bermuda station she is bringing in a
prize. The name Of the captured
vessel was not disclosed in the gov
ernment's announcement.
