The 2,779 votes cast against saloon in SUPERIOR
were not all prohibition anti-saloon but large

of Superior have, by their actions, upheld

Their vote indicates fear minds of either get
ting something else fear of financial loss
The official of the retail liquor dealers asso-
citation continually pleads for orderly saloon It
voices protest against the "pimps and hangers-on"
that lnfest the wide open town. If the retail LIQUOR
dealers opposed to these things now is good time
Tor the saloon to reform actually perform in
deed what he says he believes in, on paper.
The saloons of Superior have violated every law of

 Committees Report Heard,
 An important meeting of the mem bers of the Baltic Social and Athletic club was held in the club hall We'd nesday evening. 4 week previous q committee had been appointed to go over the books of the club to see of they could find out the reason why the club had suffered 8 deficit of over two hundred dollars during 1914.
 Charles Barnes, d member of the in- veStigating committee read the report of the committees finding and sug- gested some remedies for the deficit. F D. Hull and Clayton Rood also past three years.
 To make up the loss a motion was made and carried that the salaries of the janitor be cut down and the mo- ton will be put before the proper com- nittee. Various officers of the club will also have their salaries cut. The treasurer volunteered his services with his dues alone as recompense.
 A motion was made and carried that q written vote of thanks he sent Hr. Sayles for his gift of a fine Victrola and records besides gifts at various times of books and magazines.
 After the meeting was adjourned the members of the entertainment com Faittee met for @ short time to discuss plans for an entertainment which will be given soon. The club has the approNial of the toWnsDeople as being an ideal place for young men to spend their leisure hours and it seems a pity that it has received such poor support. It has everything that could be de- sired for amusement and the social sideS alone is worth considering. The gylnhasiun gives all a chance to get in some needed exercise, and the club officials are hopeful that the proper support will be forthcoming,

Henry Ford, one of the world s

shines as a humanitarian and
philanthropist. He pays $4,000
men from five to six dollars a
day-the work day consisting of
eight hours and in addition
shares a liberal portion of the
profits of his vast business with
them. He also carries out Bobby
Burns idea of "a heart for every
fate" by giving employment to a
large number of poor, unfortu-
nate cripples and former prison
convicts. He is one of the noblest
characters of the age and the
success of his effort to improve
the condition of the struggling
masses cannot fail to have a SYM
pathetic influence on all branches
of industry. More power, more
wealth, more honor to him.

The action taken by Governor
Alexander in vetoing the $40, 900
appropriation bill for the Lewis
ton Livestock show, one of the
most meritorious bill brought be-
fore the legislature this session,
shows plainly that the governor
intends doing everything in his
power to save the people of the
state that million dollars he
promised them, and he evidently
has the courage of his convictions
regardless of how his official acts
may please or displease the legis-
lators. The fact is, our state
has been taking on too heavy a
burden of debt and from all cor
ners of the state have come heav-
Ter demands every two years for
appropriations for this, that and
the other thing regardless of
whether or not we could afford
them. We have been travelling
a pace that eventually leads to
bankruptcy and it is high time
some governor put the brake on
our extravaganza and showed US
how to live within our means,
Governor Alexander is going to
establish such a precedent and
although he may meet with much
abuse from the political grafters
and office seekers eventually the
lowly taxpayer will call down
blessings on his head.
