Perhaps never in any State has more
d4cettfui methods to defeat Statewide
prohibition been resorted to than those
employed In Virginia during the past
few weeks. All sorts OF calamity howls
have been promulgated to deter the
timfd voter from doing his full duty
toward his fellowman In this contest
The tobacco bugabear fright for the
farmers was an insult TO their intelli-
gence. This gauzy pretex like hub
BILE was Coon exploded. Then an ap
peal to lovers OF money rather than
humanity was made by prediction of
higher taxes II the State goes dry
This. too, will not stand the test Of
truth and will hardly deter many voters
from doing their duty on September
20. or course. the old blind tiger
hoary with age has been led out TO
brighten those who have too often seen
the effect of the two-eyed tigers. Others
as silly suggestions have been flooding
The state fer the past thirty days, all
eminating from the city Of Richmond
where the liquor interest Is strongly
entrenched No real appeal to reason
has been made in the campaign by
those who favor the saloon. Appeals
have been directed to the avaricious
the. illiterate voters and prejudice
Many Of the assertions made regarding
other communities that are under
Statewide prohibition have been fatty
denounced as fahrications. Such tao
ties Will surely recoil upon the advo-
Gates Of the open saloon in Virginia.
There Is 20 our mind only one serious
aspect in the campaign as we see it..
IL tho voters OF the State. especially
the Christian voters. rest upon their
oars and dream that the victory can
be won without their assistance and
fail TO do their duty on September %
through tho idea of perfect confidence
in victory without their Individual ef-
fort and vote. The battle cannot be
won upon any such assum ption.
The clarion call comes to every voter
in Virginia doing his full duty in this
matter. There should not be voter
In any community who will not con-
slider II his personal duty as we'll as
privilege TO go to the polls on Sep
temher 20 and cast his ballot for God.
Home and Native Land" We certainly
trust that IN no home where the Meth
odist enters In our State will voter
even be permitted to remain from the
polls on the day Of the most important
election ever held In Virginia. Nothing
but overeonffdence and apathy can spell
defeat In this contest. II the Christian
voters do their full duty, as We believe
they will on the 22nd day of Septem-
her. the liquor demon will be driven
from Virginia by the largest majority
vote ever east In our State God help
every real sure enough man TO do his
full duty In this all-important mat
ter. This Is no time for the sulker or
stay at home voter. Let every man do
his duty toward the men, women and
children like real patriot the day Of
the battle of ballots Is fought and n
great Victory for righteousness will
be achieved. Let not the charge OF in
dolence lay at the door Of any Chris

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Editorial In Raleigh News and Oh
server, September s,


Readers of the News and Observer
must have noticed. and been impressed
by. TIE reports of excellent openings
t~tobacco markets In various portions
Of the State Practically all of the
markets that have opened have had
better openings than were antici-
pated.
The European war and the general
disturbance of business resulting
therefrom had led many to fear that
the price for tobacco would be dis
low this fall. But so far
prices have been such as to indicate
that these fears were groundless.
Whatever the reason. 1t looks now that
the tobacco growers will get fair
price for their product
II is to be hoped that prices will
be maintained at the comparatively
high level at which they have opened.
II the tobacco. growers can get fair
returns on their labor and investment
the situation for the farmer will at
least be partly saved. And. indeed.
the outlook for the cotton growers is
by no means as gloomy as IL was.
The proposition of number of mer-
chants to allow ten cents for cotton
when applied on accounts seems to be
a fair one and the farmers generally
will no doubt avail themselves OF this
opportunity to meet their obligations
And the warehouse plan will also be
efficacious In helping save the day for
the farmer.

Dear Sir:
Renlying To your favor OF the 22nd
instant. there Is no relevancy in our
tax rate to the question involved. Our
city taxes the year before prohibition
was effective was $3.50 on the 800
valuation; the following year IL was
reduced to 81 40 and the two following
years TO $I.3e in each year The rate
has been increased since then owing
TO the necessity for providing interest

| write how not to be deceived in
the purchase Of horse. II the
horse is an unJroken colt, one must
just judge him by the construction
of his BODY. as, If az has not been
ridden, one cannot know from eX-
perienCe what his disposition is. 1t
is first necessary to examine the
feet; for as in the case of a house,
where il does not matter how fine
the superstructure may be, if the
foundation is imperfect, the horse is
of no avail ii he has not good feet.
Look first to the horny portions
of the hoof, for those horses with
thick hoofs are superior to those
horses with thin hOofS. Next, it
should be noticed whether the hoofs
be upright before and behind, or
low and fiat on the ground. The
high hOofs keep the frog at a dis
lance from the ground, while thu
fiat hoofs press equally with the
soft and hard parts OF the feet
Strong footed animals can be known
by the sound of their tramp on the
hard earth, but the hollow hOOfed
foot rings like a cymbal when ii
strikes the earth.
1t is desirable that the parts
above the hoOfs and below the fei
locks-the pasternS- -be not too
erect, like those of the goat |
for iegs OF this kind, being stiff and |

and are more liable to infamma-

Chafed and bruised when the horse
galICps over clods and stones.
The bones Of the shank should be
thick, for these are the columns
that support the body, but the
veins and flesh On them should not
be thick. Il they are thick, then
when the horse is galloped over
rough ground the veins will fiji
with blood and become varicose. SO
that the shankS will be thickened
and the skin become distended and

He is also stronger and can more

shorter and broader the loin the

The Elephants Bath.
The elephants bath takes a week
to carry it out in every detail; it
requires services of three men and
it costs $500. This treatment is
necessary for a circus elephant, and
if the animal is valuable one the
proprietor of the circus does not
consider the money wasted. The
first process consists in going over
the immense body with the best
soap procurable; $50 pounds of soap
is used, and the elephants ears are
especially carefully attended to,
When the soaping and drying are
completed the elephant is well
sandpapered, and after that rubbed
all over with the purest Indian oil

T. L. ALl-STAR TEAM.

To prove that some exceptionally good
players were developed in the Twilight
league this season the Review picks an
all star team which, we believe, would
give many a team in this vicinity quite a
tussle for tho honors in series of games.
Manager Seifert of tho New Ulm Ath-
letics also picked team, the two squads
differing slightly In the arrangement of
the players. In choosing these men
their ability to work together as a we'll
regulated machine and their clouting
abilities have been considered more
than their individual records.
The Reviews choice of nine men is as
follovs: Catcher, Groebner; pitcher,
Cordes; FIRST base, Guentner; second
base, Berg; third base, Amann; short
stop, Williams; left field, Lindemann;
center field, Seifert; right field, ].
Groebner. Guentner, Amann and Sci
fert could also be used in the box and
Cordes shifted to their positions without
breaking up the team play. Seifert
could be used behind the bat if necessary.
Thsse players would have team batting
average of $50 and only made six errors
in their respective positions all season.
Manager Seifert picks his team as
follows: Catcher, Groebner; pitcher,
Mueller P; first base, Cordes B; second
base, Williams E; third base, Schape
kahn Bl; shortstop, Carson 81; left field,
Guentner E; center field, Lindemann E;

TROUBLE FOR "sooNERs"

It is not unlikely that Clarence II.
Saulpaugh and two other Mankato
sportsmen will be given an opportunity
to go into federal court and explain
their method of determining the arrival
of daylight. Complaint has been made
to the department of agriculture that
they violated the federal game Jaw pro-
hibiting the shooting of wild ducks before
daylight, and there is reason Co believe
that the chargesswil be pushed.
On the opening day of the hunting
season daylight occurred officially at $50
a. m. That morning Deputy Game
Warden P. ]. Karpen of this city, was on
dGt.T at swan Lac. ana he relates that
at 5:lo two 4ial.te.s near at hand fired
into flock of ducks. He started to row
toward them, and at 5:18 third man
fired. When he reached the scene of the
shooting he found that three Mankato
men were responsible for the lombard
ment.
They were quite indignant when ap-
preached by the game warden, and later.
it is said, summoned him to their camp
to discuss the matter. There the curious
discovery was made that the Mankato
watches, with but little variance, register
ed ten minutes faster than the time
piece carried by the St. Peter warden.
Deputy Karpen refused to be Modified,
however, and reported the case to H. H.
Rider, executive agent of the state game
and fish commission. Later the COM
plant was sent to E. A. Cleasby, district
inspector under the federal game laws
relating to migratory birds, and by him
has been forwarded to the proper officials
in the department of agriculture. Mr..
Cleasby was in St. Peter Wednesday
questioning witnesses who may be called
upon to offer testimony in the case. st.
