Esq. w. R. Hawks, Of Gleason,
received his commission on last
Friday from Gov. Rye Of his ap,
pointment as delegate to the
Farmers Congress to meet this
week at Kansas City, Mo. This is
quite a distinguished honor. Mr..

Some excellent road work was
done last Saturday by those loyal
good roads enthusiasts, Joddy
Woodrough and. John Blackall,
out on the Palmersville road, these
gentlemen putting their section in
ship-shape, and sent an invitation
to their friend in town to come
out with their autos and enjoy a
spin. But this was impossible, as
the road in several place between
town and the section worked by
these gentlemen was impossible,
owing to the bitches being filled
by parties pulling their fronts
down into the road, which is a
violation of the law.
For thirty years that noble old
patriot, Mr.. J. L. Tomlinson, resid-

subscriber Of the Enterprise, and
for as many years he has come to
Dresden on the first Monday 10
February, renewing his subscrip'
ton in person; but when he did not
come last first Monday, we knew
that something out of the ordinary
was the matter. On last Satur'
day we received a letter and 8
remittance from him, stating that
be had been unwell some weeks
and unable to cometo town. We
sincerely trust this noble, pious
gentleman will soon be restored tc
This full health.

are few better known men in the
county than John Buckley, es
pecially among the hundreds who
have run for Office, his home
being the stopping place for al
candidates visiting that section O
the county, it being said thatmany
a time a candidate being in thai

Mr.. Buckley is a competent, de-

Military Expert Gives Reasons Why the Nation Should Make Prepara- tions for Defense and Points Out
 Difference Between Militarism
 and Common Sense PrecautiOn
By MAJ. LUCIEN c. BROWN

The interest of almost every one is in tense now in regard to what steps will be taken by Congress to carry out the suggestions of preparedness for the na- tion.
 Preparedness has much broader meaning than is even dreamed of by the average man or woman; even the dear woman who Didn't raise my boy to be soldier" can offer him to Uncle Sam in the great plan of preparedness with the assurance that he will not be on the firing line.
 There is vast difference between mili- tarism and ordinary common sense pre- caution. There may be difference of opinion as to the extent of preparation necessary for our national defense, but wisdom of lessening our present unpre- information regarding those who are es- pecially qualified and are willing to serve their country if needed. There are 77 different occupations, trades or callings that can be used in even more because there are subdivisions under many of the 77.
 Of course, the soldier, sailor and hos pitaI corps are the first line, but back of every man on the first line there will bodied men to keep him there, properly

 before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, Respondent, wor- ried; some days headachy, dull and un- strung; some days really incapacitated . by illness?
 If we all would practice inside bath ing, what a gratifying change would take place.

The req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living.

sHoRT-sIGHTED POLICY.

In the judgment of many, It is diff.
ficult to understand why preparedness
to meet remotely possible attack by
a foreign foe should take precedence
over preparedness to conquer and
overwhelm a known foe in our midst,
who Is every day defying us. and
whose toll Of death and disease rivals
that OF the battlefelds of Europe, says

National w. c. Il. u. There is pos
sibly one chance In a thousand that
our fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons may be called upon at some fu
ture time to defend the safety of this
country from an alien enemy, but
there is a positive certainty that every
day and night Of every week until the
liquor traffic is put out OF existence it
will injure thousands OF our young
men, physically, mentally and spirit.
ually; and that this injury will not
end with this~generation, but will af-
feet disastrously the next generation.

proportions in order to prepare for one
which may never have to be faced, Ia

LABOR AND PROHIBITION.

The trend of sentiment OF organ
ized labor is towards prohibition" said
Richard Jones of Duluth, a member of
the Minnesota state senate, speaking
before the Scandinavian Socialist Or
ganization.
Some trade union leaders claim
that prohibition would make for nom
employment. II this is SO why have
locomotive engineers to the number
OF 10000 indorsed it? If prohibition
Is inimical to the interests OF labor,
why did the southern labor congress,
composed OF men from nine southern
states, refuse to ask for repeal Of the
prohibition laws Of the South when
requested to do SO by the United
Brewery Workmen OF America? Lo-
cal labor leaders may insist that the
saloon Is poor mans club, but the
American Federation Of Labor at its
convention at Toronto condemned the
use OF that term.
1--WE are urged not to vote men out
OF employment in a business which is
destructive to society. l would vote
those men out of that employment
and into something valuable to them
selves and their fellow men. | would
like to have q chance to vote about
100000 men in Europe out Of their
present Jobs. II this principle applies
in one case why not in another? To
advocate peace in Europe would throw

are engaged in the manufacture of
employment. but thousands of trade
unionists and Socialists are today do

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.
Il Was Passed In England on Account
Of Peter Thsllusson's Will.

The Thellusson law. once enacted by
the British government, was a law TO
regulate the disposition Of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation Of estates. 1t had Gu
rious origin.
On the 9th Of July, 1877. one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant or
French birth, died In London, leaving
a certain sum to his widow and chill
dren and the remaindef Of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, to trustees to &C
cumulate during the lives Of his chill
dren, grandchildren and great grand
children living at the time Of his death
and the survivors Of them. The ac-
cumulation would have been enormous.
The will was contested. but was held
valid. In ORDER, however. to prevent
such a disposition Of property in the
future. parliament passed what was
called the Thellusson act. or accumula-
tions act, regulating and limiting be-
quests I'm such way as to make great
accumulations impossible.
When Peter Thellusson's last sur
viving grandson died, in 1866, Ques'
ton arose as to whether the eldest
male descendant or the male descend
ant Of the eldest son should inherit the
property, and this question was de-
cided on appeal by the house Of lords

Providence Opera House.

"The House of Glass" new play by
Max MARGIN, which registered smash
ing success at the Gambler Theatre, will
be the attraction at the Providence
Opera House, week beginning Monday,
April 10. matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday.
"The House of Glass" is an absorbing
drama of contemporary life and shows
how relentless society and ofiicialdom
are in bounding persons who once have
had the stamp of convict upon them,
even though they may be innocent.
The man who lives in the glass house
in this instance is a rising young rail
road magnate who is unaware that his
wife served year and half in prison,
a decade previously, for crime which
she did not commit, but the circum-
stances of which were all against her.
A youth in the offices of the railroad
has stolen the company's money, and
this husband is determined to punish
him as an example to others in his
employ, even though the strongest social,
political and financial influence Is
brought to bear to persuade him to give
the boy another chance. He does finally
consent to, but not until, through an
exciting chain of circumstances, he dis
covers that his own wife has been
convict.
The attempts of the wife to prevent
the horrors Of her past becoming known
and the relentless pursuit of her by the
detective who arrested her in the first
place, form the most absorbing thread
of interest in the play.
Mary Ryan, as the prosecuted wife, is
said to do the best work of her career.
