To study to be a minister is one
thing: to be a minister is another.
The Methodist Episcopal church would
not ordain her. There again she ex-
perienced the force Of prejudice which
limits a woman's activity. Finally
she found a Protestant Methodist
church willing to allow her to preach
the gospel. Her first parish was on
Cape Cod. Being exceedingly human
and practical, Miss Shaw appreciated
early that to heal physical ailments
was a necessary part of her work as
a minister. Therefore she studied and
received a medical degree at Boston
University.
After eve years in her Cape Cod
parish she resigned her ~pastorate in
answer to the demand for her services
as a lecturer. Since then she has been
the most popular and successful speak
er in the woman's movement.
Miss Shaw has seen the organized
suffragists o fthe United States grow
! from a small body of enthusiastic
women to a great army. After work
ing with Susan B. Anthony for over
twenty years she was herself eelcted
President of the National Association
in 1904.
Possessed of wonderful vitality, new
er failing humor and hopefulness, she
is always ready to meet the constant
demands upon her time and energy
She is equally able at spropaganda
speeches and at campaign arguments:
equally at ease in the pulpit, the
lecture hall or at an open-air meeting
No one since the days of Frances
Willard has equalled DR.. Shaw in the
eloquence with which she presents the

HURT IN HARVEST

Last Thursday afternoon while c.
H. Skaggs was driving a binder on
his farm northwest of Tolna, one OF
his horses became i'll and a boy was
sent to the house for another horse.
In the meantime Mr.. Skaggs busted
himself about the binder and when
the boy returned, hewas in front of
the sickle. The horses which were
hitched to the binder became fright
ened and started to run, catching the
unfortunate mar in front of the sickle.
Several large cuts were made in the
legs below the knee and several large
holes were made above the knees by
the guards. DR.. Heron is attending

REGION
OPPORTUNITIES

In Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Southern Minnesota, the
lands and rents are so high that a
great many people can make no mon
ey farming the rented lands, and can-
not buy as the prices of these lands
are beyond their present means, and
as a class they are men who want
homes and will make good farmers
and citizens.
For such the Lake Region presents
opportunities they would readily avail
themselves of if they but knew Of
them and to that end the Lake Region
is getting out a line of publicity never
before equalled that these good people
may know us and what we have to Of
fer them.
Lands in the Lake Region, consid-
ering soil, location, improvements mad
productivity are the cheapest in the
state and the Lake Region, with the
immigration Department of the Great
Northern Ry., is now carrying on
a publicity campaign that will induce
these people to come to the Lake Re
gion to make for themselves good
homes.
The Great Northern immigration
Department will hold a number Of
fairs this month and we want to have

these fairs that people visiting will

CHAS. ANDERSON
LOSES SEPARATOR

While threshing on the farm Of
Moran Bros, near Warwick, Satur-
day afternoon the separator belong
ong to Chas. Anderson caught fire
and burned to the ground. The fire
started to run in the stubble and grain
and it was only by the greatest eff
forts of the crew that it was headed
off, thereby saving a large amount of
grain which was in shock. This loss
is a heavy one to MI. Anderson, as he
had just started out with a heavy run
Of threshin gin sight. He left on the
next train for Grand Forks to pur-
chase another separator to complete
the season.

Last Sunday evening about 10
o'clock a young lady walked into RAM
and divulged to the citizens a very
pitiful story of how she had been
treated at the hands of a man. Her
story was that a Devils Lake young
man took her out for an auto ride
and while somewhere between Penn
and Ramsey tried to assault her. Not
being able to accomplish his fiendish
purpose he compelled her to get out
of the car, and he drove away leaving
her to walk home a distance of fif-
teen miles. The girl in question ar
rived in Ramsey badly frightened.
It is needless to say, she found SYM
pathizing friends who took arr of her
until morning, when she was sent to
her home at Devils Lake.

Half a century ago slavery was
abolished because the United States
could not exist half slave and half
free. Now they are going to abolish
liquor because they can not exist half
drunk and half sober. 1t won't take
long either. The liquor business could
not be perpetuated twenty-five years
if the boys were cut off from the
barroom. The one asset of the liquor
dealers is to cultivate an appetite
for the poison in the young.

They point to the existence of blind
pigs in dry communities as evidence
of the impossibility of enforcing Pro-
hibition. Let me tell you that there
are more blind pigs in addition to the
saloons in wet communities than there
are in the dry. If a mar goes down
the street drunk in a dry town it is
evident that he has got his liquor
from some illicit source, and it is an
easy matter for honest officials to
trace down the source of supply. In
the wet town though, the blind pig
hides behind the licensed saloon.
Laws Easy To Enforce.
prohibition does not prohibit. The
propagators of this time-worn slogan
might as we'll argue against laws
against murder, because murder has
not been stamped out. Any chief of
police who has backbone and courage
can enforce the law. Criminal laws

are the easiest of all to enforce. De-
cent citizens will try to obey them
and the criminals get out of town as
as 500 as they find things getting
too hot for them.
when a public official says he can't
enforce a law it is either because
he doesn't want to, or because he is
incompetent, or because he is a dam
nable participation in the crime.
"Prohibition will not wen drive the
liquor dealers out of the state. Down

to be out of it. Most of them started
under the impression that they were

is not a legitimate business and can
not be made analogous to a shoe store
or dry goods establishment.

W. hear certain individuals de-

their personal liberty when Prohibi-

put their foot in it. There is no such
thing as personal liberty, except per-

right. Any lawyer will bear me out
in this. What right has a man to go
out and get drunk, thereby impairing
his health and earning efficiency,
which in turn reacts on his innocent
family?"

MAKE THE MAP ALL WHITE.

(Tune, The Portuguese Hymn)
o map of my country, may soon every trace
Of runs black pollution be swept from thy face;
o map of my country, familiar and dear,
From ocean to ocean thy landmarks appear,
A people united, with faith in the right
Can make this whole nation all spotless and white.
And round these wide borders let Temperance raise
Her bu1warks of honor, her banners of praise.
A vast population have come from each zone,
And here on thy bosom have builded their home,
The schools, and the markets, the churches, and farms,
Have banded together to brighten thy charms.

STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN FOR
ALBERTA.

government and filed a petition under
the direct Legislation act asking for a
vote on total Prohibition. This is
what it called an initiative" and the
delegation declared that they had 7
per cent more signatures than are re-
CURED by the act. The petition had
$4,000 signatures. If it is not object
ed to successfully the legislative as
sembly may enact the measure in re-
sponse to the prayer of the petition,
but, failing in this, it must submit a
bill, give it a first and second read
ing, and send it to popular vote. If
a majority of the votes cast are in
favor of the bill, it will become a law.
Alberta is the first of the Canadian
provinces to adopt direct legislation,
and the first act initiated under its
provisions is one to relieve the people
from saloon oppression.
The legislature is now in session
and it is possible hat that body may
enact the measure subject to a ref
erendum on the part of the liquor
people.
The temperance people of Alberta
are pressing this view upon the gov
m and the assembly, urging
that as the liquor traffic possesses a
special privilege it should be incum-
bent upon its friends to defend the
privilege and to make the issue.
If the assembly does not adopt the
measure, it will be compelled, under
the direct Legislation act, to give a
referendum. The temperance people
have asked that the vote be taken in
June, 1915, but the assembly may
fix the date at any time that a ma
jority in the assembly will vote for it.
Alberta is a new state with towns
%springing up rapidly and the num-
Der of liquor licenses multiplying. In
all Canadian provinces the number is
limited and even where license pre-
walls, there is a strong sentiment
against liquor selling places. Liquor
is no where sold at retail in any Ca
madam state east of British Column
bia, except in public houses which
provide accommodation for the trav-
cling public and come up to the re-
quirements of hotels. The number of
licenses in Alberta does not exceed
400.
The war produces distracting infu-
ences which divert attention from all
other movements. Many undertakings
have suffered complete eclipse by the
public attention concentrated upon
the war. This makes it difficult to
arouse the enthusiasm required to
push a petition-signing campaign or
to raise funds to finance such a move-
ment; on the other hand the spirit of
economy and conservation engen-
.dered by the war should be favorable

COUNTY GRANGE PICNIC
Planned To Hold One Sometime in
AUGUST

Editor of The BGnner:-Some time
ago you published letter of mine
relative to a grange rally in the fall,
it would now seem to me more aayis-
able to hold some time in August a
County Grange picnic, say at Emer-
aid Lake or some other point on the
failroad, provided the grounds could
be leased, a band secured and other
necessary arrangements made. But
before one would feel warranted in
going ahead with such scheme he
would want to have an expression OF
opinion from Oranges and patrons re-
siding in the County and as The Ban
ner has always been more than will
ing to do more than its share for the
good of the order and has spent both
time and money to make Grange af-
fairs a success, | am going to take
the liberty of asking you to publish
this letter in The Banner and trust
that Grange-s seeing it will bring
Oranges and also communicate with
me as to how Grange and Farmers
picnic for August strikes them.
understand Addison County al
ways has one, that we can undoubt-
edly obtain some 0f the best speak
ers in the state for such an affair,
including the governor and master OF
the state grange and certainly a nomi
nal charge for admission to the
grounds would pay all the expenses
including free coffee and milk, the
prizes to be won at the different
games, etc, each visitor to bring
basket lunch for themselves.
| am advised on good authority
that the Bennington County Improve
ment association had been consider
ing a general picnic for the county
to which every person in the county
was to be invited. II this is so and
they would go in with the Oranges in
such an undertaking the affair could
not help being a success and the en-
joyment and pleasure TO all attend
ing would be increased ten fold, but
before agreeing 10 Sucn cOlnDlnd-
ton they too would want line on
public opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of such a county get-together and
the only way we can know what that
opinion is. is for every one interest
ed TO write and tell us how the mat
ter strikes them, and | would there
fore request that every one seeing
this not only take it up with their
friends. but write me at once. as the
time is short, so something can be
done at once.
