Prohibition State Committee in Charge Of the Greatest Out
Door Drive Ever Staged. @.>>.-.:.. -.

The biggest open-air smash in the
present unprecedented drive on
Booze's Beelzebub line is a big factor
in the battle plans of the Minnesota
Dry Federation. The Prohibition State
Committee, veterans of intensive out
door fighting, has been assigned to
the big artillery operation by the War
Council of the Dry Federation of
Minnesota. The drive will begin
July 22nd, and close, October l3th
and be followed 8, by an intensive man
to man campaign. Rural picnics are
also to feature the offensive DEM
onstration and add to it's effective
ness.
To the Prohibition State Committee,
veterans in outdoor campaigning, has
been assigned the picnic and street
sector of the allied linee in the 1918
offensive against the Booze lines in
what is believed to be the final fight
for the humiliation of the brewery
autocracy in Minnesota. Last year
the Committee held over eighty pic
MICS, and there are now more than 100
scheduled for this year with plans I'm
der way for total of 800. The pur-
pose of these gatherings is prim arily
to reach and arouse the farmers, who
are for the most part dry, to the
necessity of taking vigorous, active
and aggressive part in the campaign.
The need of taking up this work is
especially apparent in the counties
that have gone dry. In many of these
instances the farmers and others feel
as though the fight is won and nothing
more needs to be done. The great
danger of the campaign for the consti-
tutional amendment is that apathy

The wonderful efficiency and
activity of the United States in
putting troops overseas in France
and building ships to meet the
submarine menace, has been en-
phasized in a most substantial
manner since July set in.
Secretary Baker officially noti-
fled President Wilson that the
American troops sent overseas on
July list numbered 1,019,1 lis.

July 3 gave this information to
the public, with the statement
that it ''musts cause universal
satisfaction. and will give addi-
tional zest to our national celebra-
ton of the 4th of july"
On the 4th of July IS freight

were launched in various parts

addition to launching 112 ships
on the 4th, in 8 shipyards the
keels of new vessels were laid

to complete a ship is stated to be

The Colored Soldiers.

General Pershing nys high
tribute to the valor of the color
ed troops now on the fighting
front. He says: Il cannot COM
mend too highly the spirit shown
among the colored combat troops,
who exhibit fine capacity Tor
the most dangerous work." The
general emphatically denies the
report circulated in this country
that the ''colored soldiers in
France are always placed in the
most dangerous position and
sacrificed to save white soldiers. "
He further adds: The exploits
of two colored infantry men some
weeks ago in repelling a much
larger German patrol, killing
and wounding several Germans
and winning the cross of war by
their gallantry, has aroused a
fine spirit of emulation among
their fellows, all of whom are
looking forward to more active
service. The only regret ex-
pressed by colored troops is that
they are not given more danger
Gus work to do. They are es-
pecially amused at the most dan
gerous positions and all are de-
sirous of having more active SER
vice than has been permitted
them thus far

Mr.. James j. O'Quinn. whose
friends for several years have
urged mis- fitness for Railroad
Commissioner, has at last deter
mined to enter the race in the
present campaign for Commits.
sioner from the Sd Louisiana dis
trict.
In the early part of his life Mr..
| O'Quinn engaged in railroad BUSH
ness, later employed in saw mill
industries. For the past eighteen
years he has been clerk of the
court in Grant parish. He is a
man of versatile talents. an ex-
pert accountant and bookkeeper,
stenographer and telegraph oper-
ator. His long acquaintance
with public matters has caused
him to be thoroughly versed in
the general laws of the State,
and his natural sympathies are
decidedly with the masses of the
people. AS a member of the To-
cal board of exemptions since
the declaration of war he has
shown great loyalty and efficien-
cy in the placing and entraining
of selected men for various
camps, and very few of the rul-
ings of the board have been modi-
fed.
/ Beng an active man in mid
die life, Mr.. O'Quinn is pre-
pared to enter upon the duties of
commissioner with full vigor.
and we feel that his election will
serve the general interest of the
public.
