Was Ever a Finer Compliment|| Paid to Women7 _ In the May American Maga zine, William J. Locke, author of "The Beloved Vagabond" uud "The Morale of Marcus," begius hie new eerial novel. "Simple Sep timue." Septimue Dix?Simple Septi mus?ie a geuius, an inventor of guns. He ie ae eccentric ae euch men often are, and all hie move-1 meute are wonderfully interest ing. But, withal, he hae a mar-1 veloue power to express truth di rectly and beautifully. Lieteu,! for example, to thie epeech ot hie, ae it came out in the couree of a conversation with Zora Mid dlemiet, the heroiue. "Whatever one does or tries to j do, one should insist on remain- j ing human. It's good to be hu-1 man, isn't it? I once km w a uiau who was just a complicated mechanism incased in a body. Hie heart didn't beat; it clicked and whirred. It caused the' death of the most perfect woman in the world" lie looked dreamily into the blue ether between sea and sky. Zora felt strangely drawn to aim "Who was it?" she asked softly. "My mother," said he. They had paused in their stroll, and were leaning over the parapet above the railway line. After a moments' sileuce he add ed with a vague smile:? "That's why 1 try hard to keep myself human?so that if a wo man should ever care for me, 1 shouldn't hurtiher." A green caterpillar was crawl ing 011 his sleeve. In his vague manner he picked it tenderly off and laid it on the leaf of an aloe that grew in the terrace vase near which he stood. "You couldn't even hurt that crawling thing?let alone a ;wo man," said Zora. 'I his time very softly. He blushed. "If you kill a cat erpillar you kill a butterfly," he said apologetically. "And if you kill a woman?" "Is there anything highei?" said he. "Prohibition Don't Prohibit." We have no idea that, as a rule, the man who says this is really sincere. He knows that ncrtaw on the statute books of the State really prohibits. He knows that, while theoretically prohibition laws are made to prohibit, yet.practically they are made only to check evil This nas been the case since sin enter ed the world, and this will be the case until sin leaves the world. Law against stealing only checks stealing. Law against the sale and manufacture of liquor only checks the sale and manufacture. People who say "Prohibition don't prohibit" know all this. Their object really is to make the impresslou that prohibition increases drinking. They know that this is not the case. Prohibition does greatly check the drinking of liquor. Statis tics furnished by every prohibi tion town in the State would prove this. \\7 L 11 i\ tnaniiq it- ill f titt Irt An n d /i ?? Ulicy UUjJClCt Will U1 J LU CV r?Ul* I the law, aud while they will be | assisted by the express compa nies, there will be many who have been in the habit of patron izfug the saloons who for obvi ous reasons will not secure drink through blind tigers and express shipments. Furthermore, there is a class of drinxers who are really desir ous of breaking themselves of the bad habit and who would be able to succeed were it not for the temptation of the saloon or dispensary standing in their pathway. Prohibition is a God send to these men and they help to cut down the amount of liq uor Bold or consumed. Agaiu, the great army of drunkards receive every year many recruits. These recruits are boys who are enticed into the saloon or dispensary. They go to make up the million men who die drunkards ever ten years. Prohibition saves these boys. Now, readers, candidly, can you not see that prohibition naturally and inevitably prohib its to the extent indicated, and that such prohibition means a great blessing to any section or State? Can you afford to vote aginst such prohibition?? Hal eigh Christian Advocate. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /H? Signature of J-COCc/uAi Worse Than Peanut Politics. Some weeks ago pertain Demo crats who had always Bfcoo 1 by the liquor traffic, held a little meeting in Salisbury?fche wuis Key capital of Western North Carolina?and decided to mak? war on prohibition. Tuey had a right to do that, but they de clared they had met in the inter est of the Democratic party They had no rigut to do that. The question is uot a party question, and men have no right to call meetings for or against temperance as Democrats or Its publicans. Legislators of both partit s submitted it to ttie peo i pie and voters of both part ies j will vote as their conscience tells them to vote. In a recent issue of the Chat ham lb-cord the statement is made thai; certain Republican leaders "wtio have pretended to be for prohibition are now ma king excuses foropposiug it, try. ing to make party or political capital out of the pending prohi bition bill." The Record does not believe they will succeed say ing "it believes the bulk of the Republicans of Chatham are as much against whiskey as the bulk of Democrats are, aud we sincerely hope they will vote their couvictious." Referring to this measly sort of worse t an peanut politics, the Concord Times says: "mis la the most coatemnti-l ble thing which has come w t >n our observation in son tim \ man who will stifle his ? mvic ion on a moral question fo die t.ike of u little political ?.ovai. u^e cauuot be trusted in anything. We regret to say that this thing is beinir done by f ^ ie right here in Concord an 1 Co a - rue, but we are also glad t< y that that the majority of r Hepublicans are honest men id will vote according to their e' l victious." Mr. T. T. Hicks of Headers m, member of the Republican iSfca'e Kxtcutive Committee, spoke tru ly of such methods, whether pur sued by Democrats or Republi eaus when he said: ' It would be a crime against God and the State which no po litical party could either oullive or profit by it to espouse the cause of whiskey even if it could win an election by so doing." lotr? are vitai principles that divide lue Democratic aud Re publican parties. Temperance does not divide them. Republi can Kansas aud Republican Maine are in the prohibition col umn just as are Democratic Georgia and Democratic Alaba ma. Publicmen of prudence (aud character of both parties see ' that the question is oue that touches upon the home aud the moral life. It is only the poiiii cians whose vision is dimmed or who are of the peanut type who are trying to make political cap ital out of the temperance issue. ?News and Observer. For Men Only. According to the Oklahomau a lady reporter of the Tulsa World was recently shocked because a street carnival had an attrac tion which was placarded, "For Men Only." The men were go ing in and out in large numbers. and she said some caustic things about it iu the paper. It devel oped that the attraction consis ted of a clothes line on which were hung a pair of pants, coat, vest and socks. When one suck er was caught he very naturally steered ail of his friends into the trap.?Kansas City Jour nal, No man ever built a success on the basis of moderate or immoil erate drinking of intoxicating liquors.

SPENDING STATE MONEY. How It Should Be Done dt Viewed by Governor .lohnson. As an example of Governor John son's straightforwardness an incident may be cited that recently occurred at the cupltol. A commission hud been appointed to select und present a silver service for the battleship Minnesota as a gift from the stats. The legislature appropriated $10,000 for the purpose. Those who have been concerned In similar undertakings will admit that usually when appropriations of this sort are made part of the money Is ex pended for the silverware and the re mainder for the Junket, say $5,000 for the gift and the balance of the $10,000 for champagne, railroad fares, hotel bills and expenses of those concerned. When the commissioners met for the first time they Immediately agreed that not one dollar of the state's money should be expended for expense, but that every cent of the appropriation should go Into the gift. The commis sioners also decided that, should It be necessary for them to attend the formal presentation, they would consider It their duty tp pay their own hotel bills and traveling expenses. Just then Governor Johnson came Into the room. The commissioners told him of their agreement, subject, of course, to his approval. The governor replied In effect: "Gentlemen. I quite approve your ideas, but 1 would also like to call your attention to unother condition. The legislature has given us $10,000 for this purpose. While the bill was being considered I talked with several legislators opposed to I' They thought $10,000 was a large amount to spend for silverware. I told them I did not kuow about this, but that Minnesota should neither be wasteful nor shabbv. and I promised them that should the Mil pass I would see that no more of the appropriation was expended than was necessary to do the proper thing. They voted for the hill, and it passed. Now. I would propose that we fro ahead and get a suitable service for the battleship; that we do the proper thing in the right way. I,et the incident be a credit to the state, by all means, but when this is done, and well done, turn the re mainder of the appropriation back Into the st ite treasury. Do not think that you are obliged to spend $10,000 lo calise that is the amount appropriated." GOVERNOR JOHNSON, OPTIMIST Minnesota Candidate a Believer In the Nation's Future. At a luncheon given in his honor by the I'ress club of Chicago on April 14 Governor Johnson gave an informal talk aud, as he always does, said many good things and impressed all with his dignified modesty and his hard com mon sense. By one or two newspaper correspondents he has, however, been quoted as saying on that occasion that he had grave apprehensions In regard to the industrial future of the country. Now, Governor Johnson is emphatic ally not a pessimist The pessimist thinks that the world Is going to the dogs and that nothing can be done about it. While Governor Johnson, on the other hand, like all thoughtful men, sees some dangers ahead, he has writ ten: "The republic is in no danger of ruin or decay. The tax dodger, the boodler, the assassin of state and na tional honor may strike at the public welfare. The nation will grow In glory and power because of the man hood of its common citizenship." In keeping with this is what Govern er Johnson did say in Ills address to the Chicago Press club; "1 am at times somewhat apprehensive as to the fu ture of our country industrially. There are difficult problems to be worked out, aud eternal vigilance Is necessary. The difficulties must and will be over come in such a way that there may be continued prosperity not for some but for all the people." This Is the language of the healthy minded optimist who understands that danger cannot lie overcome by shutting our eyes to it. but by looking It bravely In the face- that obstacles in the nntli of progress ennnot be removed by Ig noring their existence. "Young man, don't you know that It's better to bo alone than lu laid company?" "Yes, sir. Goodby, sir." ?Cleveland Plain Ilealer. JOHNSON THE MAN. Minnesota's Virile Governor Qualified to Unite the Democracy. John H. Tolan, a lawyer of Anacon da, Mont., a lifelong acquaintance and friend of Governor Johnson, writes In regard to the letter's candidacy: "You are taking the proper steps. A campaign of education is what is need ed to secure his nomination. Once let the American people get close to this man, learn his early history and struggles as I know them, feel his friendship as I have felt it, see his in tense love and kindness for his fellow men as I have seen it, and no power on earth can deter them from placing him at the head of our federal government." Mr. Tolau has summed up briefly one side of the great governor of Miune ' sota. lie Is a most lovable man?a man j who makes friends of all whom he | meets. In this respect, as In some oth j ers, he has been compared to Lincoln. Governor Johnson is a man of the I people. Not even Lincoln came up I from greater obscurity and greater ! poverty than the virile governor of Minnesota. He understands the people as perhaps no man In American public life since Lincoln has understood It? and the people understand him. As a Democrat Governor Johnson ap peals to the thoughtful members of his party, because he Is pre-eminently qualified to unite and blend Its discord ant elements Into a competent, enthu siastic, militant political force. 1 Are You 1 1 Regular? | j,?| II you are aot.
