Judge Dayton delivered his usual
able and forceful charge. beginning
with the law centuries ago; and stai-
ing for what purpose we had the law.
how easily it is violated and why the
people should have greater r aspect
for 1t. He said the man who is no
better than the law makes him, is a
poor citizen, because he only obeys
it through fear.
Taking up the various offenses
against the government he told the
penalties covering each case. The
making Of counterfeit money, or the
dcfacing of the currency he laid par.
ticu]ar stress upon, telling the Jury II
any such cases should come before
tfem a careful investigation should
be made. He also touched upon the
white slave traffic, denouncing 1t in
the severest terms.
Then he turned his attention to
the postal laws, asking the fury 10
inquire carefully into any infractio as
that might be reported, because It
was through this service the peop'e
were able to communicate and trans
act business. ~
The whiskey business was touch
ed upon rigidly, the court stating
how the government secured It's rev.
enue, for what purpose licenses we're
issued, and how spurious liquors
could be sold. He also spoke OF the
trusts, and how they violated the
laws. and before concluding said
something about the Associated
Pr,xs
While the term must close Satur'
day it will be very busy one. More
indictments will be returned than
ever before here, and some very i'm.
rortant cases will receive attention,
It Is believed, however. that among
tn. indictments will be several for
violation OF the internal revenue
laws. There is a white slave case
on }the docket, and the Interested
parties are here. ' u q

Our readers will this week find
the first of a series of railroad ar
tic'es in the Democrat. These
articles are paid for at advertising
rates, and are so marked, and
must not be construed as being
the sentiments of the paper. We
will ask you to reserve criticism
of the same until they have all
been run, and we will do likewise.
The railroads insist that they are
running behind on the present

Belaboring Bryan

The New York World is busy just
now belaboring Secretary of State
Bryan because he has warned the
democratic party to free itself from
suspicion of connection with the
liquor interests. The World ridicules
Bryan in editorial, caricatures him
as a baby with new toy, denounces
and upbraids him in the most extray-
agant terms. And for what? For
wanting his party to free itself OIL
connection with a power that not
only is a curse to America, but tina
is surely waning.
Russia has banlshed vodka.
France has put the lid on absinthe
England is preaching the unwsdom
of indulgence in intoxicants by Its
fighting forces.
Yet the leading newspaper cham.
pion of the present national admin
istration sears the premier of the
cabinet for wanting to free his party
OF the incubus of whiskey.
II has been said that New York
doesn't know there is any America
west of Buffalo and not enough to
count west of the Hudson river. The
World must be seeking to justify this
charge.
Doesn't the World know that the
most popular thing Bryan ever did
was to Danish liquor from state re
ceptions? Doesn't the World know
that much of the confidence the peo-
pie have in President Wilson is due
to his life of abstemiousness? Can
the World be so short-sighted as no
to see that no political party can
longer make a partner of whlskey
and survive?
The democratic party nationally is
no more in league with the liquo,
interests than the republican party
Is But both will have to cut loose
from the booze. National prohibit
tion is coming as certainly as dawn
follows darkness. 1t may come state
by state instead of as a national
movement. but 1t Is cominE GER

that gets in its way is going to re,

Enough wheat was raised in Paw

average years, and less than so per
cent of it has been marketed, the
balance of 1t being distributed in the
farmers granaries throughout the
county. On many farms the wheat
is still piled in the open, either on
the ground or in open granaries. For
this reason the farmers may be ex-

Miss Maude Thomas of the Beaver
Herald pays tribute to the odd
fashioned mother" in the following
tender lines THANK God some OF
us have an old-fashioned mother
Not a woman of the period, painted
and enameled, with all her society
manners and fine dresses, white jew
eled hands that never felt the CLASP
of baby fingers, but dear. loving,
old-fashloned mother with a sweet
voice, eyes into whose clear depth
the love light shone, and brown hair
just threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek. The
hands, worn with toll, gently guided
our steps in childhood and smoothed
our cheeks in sickness, ever reaching
out to us in yearning tenderness.
Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother. 1t floats to us like
the beautiful perfume of some wood
blossom. The music of other voices
may be lost, but the enchanting men,
DRY of hers will echo in our soul for
ever"
