WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
The senate was in session all night,
attempting to break the Republican

weaken. Thereafter frequent roll calls
for quorum were demanded, giving
Burton brief rests. The sergeants-at-
arms were busy seizing members to
make quorum.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 19.-
1t is learned the president is pur-
suing the "watchful waiting" policy
regarding European peace. His am
bition is for the permanent peace of
the whole world. He does not favor
a temporary truce. The president
likened the application of peace meas

better for America to initiate peace
negotiations only after the war has
reached a decisive stage.

MANY HEAR RACINE TALK
Former Member Of The Legislature
Addresses Large Audience At City
Hall Temperance Mass Meeting
GRAHAM SPEAKS THIS EVENING

The city hall was completely filled
last evening when Hon. Elias Rachie
of Minneapolis, a former member of
the Minnesota legislature, the first
speaker of four who are being
brought here: by the anti-saloon ele-
ment Bemidji, spoke on "The Lii
quor Problem" 5,-,s..e-.s. = = g 4
Mr.: Rachie brought out the point
that on an average, $4,000 passes
over the bar of every Minnesota sa-
loon annually, which would mean
that in this city $2SO,0OO is spent
for liquor is one year. He drew at
tention to the fact that liquor is de-
trimental to a persons thinking cap
acity, and that "booze" tends to
bring about an untitled community.
The speakers referred to the finan-
cial end of the liquor question by
saying that the life of just one boy,
worth more to his family than the
entire $4,000 brought in by the
saloons, can easily be crowded out of
honor and Righteousness by drink.
This evening Thomas w. Graham
will speak on "Booze and Business"
Sunday evening there will be union
meeting at O'Clock at the city hall
and Attorney w. I. Norton will speak
on "Booze and Economies" and
Monday evening in the same hall he
will speak on the same subject.
These meetings are free and those
in charge extend an invitation to all
persons to- attend.
