ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE HAS
MOST POWERFUL LOBBY
Organization Has Been Utterly Fearless and Has Made No
Effort To Cloak Its Activities Says North
American Review

The prohibition forces today are
organized with a degree Of efficiency
attained by few moments in the his
tory of the republic. Their efficiency
Of organization prevents us effectual-
ly from drawing a parallel between
the Dow movement and the Hobson
movement, says the North American
Record.
The power Of that portion of public
opinion which now supports the de-
rnand for national prohibition Is ex-
erted upon Congress and state poiit-
ical bodies and In elections through
the Anti-Saloon League OF America
The league organizes and manages
every important prohibition fight made
in the country, and maintains at
Washington one of the most powerful
lobbies ever seen at the national cap
ital. 1t is known as the national legis-
lative headquarters of the league, and
Is in charge Of Rev. e G.. Dinwiddie,
national legislative superintendent.

fact that that portion of the country
was virtually unknown and that such
road would parallel two existing
lines, the Northern Pacific, which had
been constructed at enormous cost
with the assistance of the Federal gov
ernment, and with the Canadian Pa
cifc. which had behind it the re-
sources of the British empire, and to
build which half a continent had been
put in pawn.
Built Great Northern
From 1880 to 1898 he built and
equipped the present Great Northern
system, in all some 5000 miles of
track, extending from Lake Superior
TO Puget Sound, with northern and
southern branches and direct steam
ship connection with China and Japan.
II was constructed entirely without
state or government aid, land grant
or subsidy, at q capitalization in stocks
and bonds of about $4,000 per mile,
and al the rate of nearly mile day
for every day of his control. The
Great Northern system, as it is called,
is supplemented by line of passenger
and freight steamships on the Great
Lakes surprising in capacity and
speed any before built.
While Mr.. Hill built up for himself
and other shareholders of the road a
constantly accruing fortune, he also
created for the settlers along his line
$1,000, 100000 worth of wealth in real
property, and this achievement is
without parallel in the history of
our railroads. The reduction in rates
of transportation had given the ship
pers along the road practically

pany's revenues by that amount.

She did a wise thing. for which she

recommended the Quaker Herb
Treatment. She obtained it, took it

monster complete. 1t can never bother
her again; she is cured and Quaker
cured her after everything else had

SENATOR MARTIN
WHACKS PRIMARY
Does Not Like the Way the
Law Is Operated in This
State at All

Senator Franklin Martins declara-
ton against the present primary law
at the meeting of the Cumberland
county Republican committee at Car
Isle Saturday. has attracted State
attention because ii is the first state
ment coming from a legislator since
the primary regarding the law which
seems to have fallen short in a good
many points.
Senator Martin, who is a candidate
for reelection announced his stand
as favoring increased mothers pen
sion and the submission of local op-
ton and women suffrage questions to
the vote of the people He said as to
the primary laws, Il believe they have
some excellent features, but on the
whole they are q failure, and l am in
favor of repeating all of them and
going back to some improved form
of the old convention plan.
Il would suggest the repeal of all
acts requiring signers to nomination
papers. Under the present primary
system the voters will not go to the
polls for the reason that not one in
ten can understand and vote intelli-
gently without assistance, the present
blanket ballot. They will not ask foI
help and cannot remember the many
names that are on the ballot or tC
read in poorly lighted booth the in.
structions in fine print. The result is
they remain at home or away from the
polls and the primary election be-
comes minority choice and not a
majority and is becoming less and
less at every election

had paid to stock and share holders
about $50, ,0OO,0 while employees had
received for their share over
500, 100000. Owing to it's economy
in operation, constantly increasing
business and earning capacity, the
Great Northern has made steady de-
crease in freight rates.
He was married to Mary Mahegan
and had two sons, James H. and Lewis
Hill, who served an apprenticeship in
every branch of railroading and have
assumed prominent places in the man
agement of the roads, and five daugh-
terS.
Contributed to Belgians
For several years James j. Hill had
been in the habit of insisting both to
his friends and to the public that he
was not actively engaged in business.
Just how active he was during the
last two years of his life can be judged
only by little evideaces of his master
hand in questions affecting the Great
Northern Railroad and the First Ma
tional Bank of st. Paul and by three
outstanding accomplishments in which
his will and genius asserted them
selves.
From a world viewpoint it would be
hard to say whether his staunch sup
port of the Belgian people, following
the invasion of the Germans, or the
part played in the negotiations for the
S50O,000.0 900 loan to the allied govern
ments is the more important.
From the time the work of Succor-
ing the Belgians began Mr.. Hill took a
leading part in the movement. 1t will
probably never be known how much
money he sent to King Albert, an old
personal friend, and how much he in
duced others to send.

Took Quaker Herb Extract
AND FEW HOURS LATER EXPELS A TAPEWORM

Health Teacher has shown many
testimonials from people who derived
great results from the Quaker Rene
dies. You have undoubtedly read
them and probably investigated and
found them true in every particular.
Mr.. Walter Carberry reported that
his severe case of rheumatism in his
back and shoulders had disappeared
after using Quaker Extract and Oil of
Balm.
Mrs. Wittekind reported seemingly
miraculous results in a most severe
case of stomach troubles from which
she had suffered for years. She took
the Quaker Remedies less than one
month TO obtain these wonderful re-
suits
James V. Levan cheerfully allowed
it to be published that Quaker Herb
Extract, Oil of Balm and Kidney Pills
had cured him OF Kidney and Bladder
complaints and Lumbago.
