While he gives emphasis to this is
sue. he is right ON all questions that
affect the welfare of the District, and
the interests Of the farmers especially
find in him an able champion
The self-appointed Democratic can
didate. Mr.. Townsend, will find it diff
ticult to make much Roadway. He is
a good man, as far as we know, and
filed with the best of motives, but he
has little if any public experience and
will poll those Democratic votes of
partisans who positively will not
scratch their ticket. The dry Demo-
Gratis will rally to the support of Mr..
Lobeck and the ultra-wet Democrats
will choose the lesser of 1.-TWO evils"
and vote for Volstead.
Congressman Volstead, who will
have represented the district fourteen
years when his present term expires,
is an able campalgner, and will no
doubt put up a big fight. He has al
ways had his ear close to the ground
and has generally voted right to suit
the majority Of his constituents. The
campaign against him, to succeed, will
have to be fought on a high plane, and
Senator Lobeck fights in no other way
OF course Mr.. Volstead has to face 3
good deal of disaffection within his
own party in many parts Of the dis
trict. No man can please everybody
These people will see in Senator Lo.
beck's candidacy an opportunity to
eliminate Volstead and every sign SO
far points towards them making the
most Of their opportunity. To the
common everyday citizen it will ap.
pear that fourteen years in Congress
is ample honor bestowed upon any one
man, and that new blood sent to Con
gress will do no one an injustice, but
in this case will serve to emphasize
public demands and do wellearned
honor to an able public man of the
District. V. E. L.

banker. proves conclusively that Sen
ltOr Lobeck has the personal qualities
necessary to rally the reform voters
like that possessed by no other man in
the State when given any kind Of a
fair show.
SO much for Lobeck's political
strength as heretofore shown at the
polls. His record as State Senator in
the last session was such as to win the
paudits Of all his progressive col
leagues, of whatever party utilization.
The temperance issue in the Seventh
District has entered into a new phase
There is not legaliZed saloon in the
district, it being the first congression-
al district Of Minnesota to adopt prohi-
bition in every county. That phase Of
the question has been settled for all
time. The new problems confronting
the people are better enforcement and
the repeal Of such national laws as in
terfere with such enforcement of the
liquor laws. We need strong men at
Washington to emphasize this issue as
never before. Lobeck is the man who
can carry our fight into Congress

COPY OF KORAN IN AT
LANTA loo YEARS OLD

Atlanta, Ga, October IA
copy OF the Koran 1000 years old,
written by hand in Arabic on
parchment SO thin that the pages
are almost transparent, and yet
the whole as perfectly preserved
as though it were finished but
yesterday, now responses in the Ii
brary of local university, and Of
all the volumes in vast collect
ion of $4,000 or more, none is
more highly priced than this.
The rare and precious relic was
given to the university by Mrs.
T. T. Hillman, of Birmingham,
Ala, and experts who have exam
ined it say the book dates back to
the Eighth century, when it was
probably made by some pious
Mohammedan scholar who spent
years in its production.
Making of parchment like that
contained in the books is now a
lost art, and it is probable that no
modern ink would show forth
clearly and distinctly after the
lapse of ten centuries.

MANILA ESTABLISHES
MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE

Manila, P. l., Oct. 6.-The mu-

American and four Filipinos, has
voted to establish a municipal
golf course in Manila. The links
are to be situated on the bay
front on flled-in ground admirab-
ly suited for the purpose and will
be thrown open to the public.
The Filipino, since American
occupation, has taken whole
heartedly to outdoor exercise
and among the younger set, some
excellent tennis, basket ball and
baseball players have been devel-
oped. These three sports, notably
baseball, are played in every nook
and corner Of the island. Golf
is new game for the Filipino.
