CITY COUNCIL CHANGES
 ITS MIND ONCE MORE.
The Plans of Architect, Accepted, Turned Down and Will Probably
 be Accepted Again.

The city council is now declared to be about to accept the plans of krchi- tect Kingsley for the school building. Mir. Kingsley's plans were accepted first and paid for but the council then decided to abandon them and take the plans of Architect Winstedt, which it did. When Councilman Chamberlin pointed out the draw backs of the latter plans, however, the council decided to look more close ly into the matter and it is now al- most certain that tonight the Kings ley plans will be accepted in a modi- fled form. One modification will be that temporary flat roof will be substituted for the more expensive plan formerly adopted. It is worth noting in this respect that after all the insults leveled at Mr. Chamberlin when he "agitated" this matter his view has proven the best one. But the council is to be congratulated on not being too obstinate.

SlatOn Talks.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 18.- Speaking to the papers today Former Governor Slaton who commuted Franks sentence declared that Mayor Woodward who condoned the lynching of Frank, is old and garrulous and his words should not be taken into account. The former governor ad- dressed the Civic League of Califor- nia this afternoon and expressed the belief that it was better far that Frank was lynched than to have been executed by a judicial mistake. To have hanged Frank judicially when there was reason to believe him in- nocent would have plotted the very soul of civilization, said the governor. He went on to dwell on the horror of the crime that had been committed against civilization also by the lynch CTS. "The identity of the offenders" he said must be forgotten by the people in the magnitude of the of fense." He declared that he is not afraid to return home and will do so when ready.

CAPTURE MORE RUSSIANS

LONDON, August 18-The news from the Polish
 front today shows that General Ltsman has captured the forts to the southwest of KOno and has taken five thou sand Russian prisoners As KovnO is on the Niemen which at that point runs about east and west is evident that the Germans have crossed the river and broken way southward It is now believed that the Russians must re-
 tire beyond the BrestLtOvsk line to which they had t9 len back in the hope that the natural advantages and the forcatons of that position would enable them to check the Teutonc advance From the accounts received is believed that the retirement from the Warsaw-Vistula line was carried out without anything like the tremend os losses that had been anticipated but if the Russians are forced to continue the retirement from the present positions they will be faced with similar difficulties to those which confronted them before.

LIQUOR VOTER GUILTY.

When man drinks something that
makes 1t impossible for his brain to
control his actions, he Is trifing with
his own and others safety. He ia
therefore guilty of criminal negll-
gence. When a man sells to another
anything that produces such effect he
also is guilty Of contributing to what
ever harm results. The man who
votes for the sale of such poison
must bear his share of responsibility.
Drunkenness is no defense when &C.
cident or crime results from it, be-
cause every man who gets drunk
knows the danger. The fellow who
gets drunk invites trouble. He drinks
TO satisfy an abnormal appetite. The
man who sells drink knows what are
its effects. He knows that criminality
and accidents go with intoxication.
He doesn't care. His motive is money.
The man who votes for saloons knows
all the harm they do. He doesn't
care, either. He is as guilty as the
other two. He may escape punish;
ment here, for human law will not
reach him; but he cannot escape the
eternal justice Of Charlottesville

Here is something from the Allen
town, Pa, Chronicle News that viii
pay you to read:
In 1913 Canadian farmers sold t.
luyers in the United States, cattle
horses, sheep, etc, to the value Of
a little more than ~ million dollars
but in 1914 they cut into the market
of the American farmer to the ex.
tent of II million dollars. That gain
of 91z million dollars was enough to
make quite a jingle in the pocket OF
the Canadian stock grower.
In 1913 Canadian farmers sold in
American markets only s1,75O,00Q
worth of grain and flour, but in 1914
they were able to ship in enough of
the same commodities to take away
s12, 400, 900 of good American money.
That is $3.50, 900 to the gain of the
Canadian. Wool imports from Can
ada gained s1,1OO, 900 in 1914 as com
pared with 1913.
Those four classes of commodities,
livestock, grain, hides and wool, con-
shutting the foundation of agricuI-
ture, yielded the Canadian producer a
gain of % million dollars in Ameri-
can markets under Democratic as
compared with Republican tariff
laws.
But it was not Canadian farmers
alone who profited by the reduction
Or removal of tariff duties ON farm
products. Mexican stockmen increas-
ed their sales in the United States
about 5k million dollars. Argentine
farmers augmented their incomes to
the extent of 7 million dollars by
sales of grain, nearly 6 million dol !
airs by sales of meat and dairy pro-
ducts and million by sales of wool.
Agricultural producers in these and
other countries were aided in selling
other products in American markets,

PRESS GETTING ON RIGHT SIDE.

When such influential periodicals
as the Saturday Evening Post and Col

into the liquor camp, interesting de-
velopments are certain. The press Of
the country is giving more and more

question, and its influence in creating
