PREACHERS VS. BREWERS.

The line-up is made. The preachers »f the state are against the brewers. The moral issue of temperance is arousing our best people to activity. They see the vigilance and earnest- , ness of the liquor men and are becoming alarmed. As an indication of the feeling of the preachers of the state. ! we quote from expressions of two lead* > Ing Churches. Rev. Somerville Light of the First Methodist church of Marion, in an interview said: ..."I regard the political situation in Indiana as a moral issue. It isn't a question of Republican success or Democratic success, or Prohibition sucoess or Socialist success,’ln the partisan sense. It is strictly a moral question. it occurs that the Republican party, by adopting a county local option plahk, has allied itself with a moral Issue. When a man In this campaign takes the position, as I do, in favor of county local option, he Is not to be understood as Indorsing the Republican party p.s a whole and all that it stands for. If the Democratic party had adapted county local option I would now Ke working-Xer the success of the Democratic ticket “I believe that every person who loves good government, uncontaminated by brewery control, should look at this question in the same light in which I see it It is in no sense a party matter. "I think it is a pretty safe proposition for a temperance men to be for everything the saloon and brewery interests are against and against everything the saloon and brewery interests are for. That is the rule I follow.

"The brewers, making use of all the machinery In their power for tnfluencIng and corrupting the electorate, are trying to create a stampede lhat will carry the house of representatives and defeat county local option. In this crisis I think it is the duty of good citizens to urge a crystallization of temperance sentiment all over the state, regardless of political affiliations. “It would be a great pity if, notwithstanding the temperance sentiment there is in Indiana, a movement like this for county local option should miscarry because the brewers prove to be more alert and better organizers than those in charge of the temperance forces. I hope that those who, like myself, would ilka to see the liquor traffic uprooted entirely, will not turn down the best in sight, which is county local option.” Miss Daisy Barr, pastor of the Friends church at Fairmount, one of the largest Quaker churches in the country, has this to say of this moral issue:

"I think that the defeat of county local option would be very bad indeed, and would prove a great setback to ow temperance work. However, I believe the effect of such a victory for the brewery interests would make them so rampant, so defiant and insolent that public sentiment would at once be aroused, although It would take years to regain our lost ground. If county local option does not carry, the condition of temperance work in Indiana for a time will be deplorable. I do not see why it should not carry. It is the voice of the good people against the voice of the bad. "The plan of ward and township local option would afford the brewers Just the opportunity they are after. The brewers, by massing their forces and resorting to fraud and chicanery, would be able to control the election in at least one ward in every town, and the, result would be that every dry town in the state, practically speakhi<. would be turned wet and every wet town would be fcept wet. The brewers know very well which aide of the bread their butter is on when they advocate ward and township local option."

In soma portions of the state the Brower-Democratic alliance Is beoomIng frantic and furions. Because some honest Democrats join Civic Leagues to fight saloon domination they are branded as fanatics. In Dekalb county the “combination” is calling on the shades of Washington, Jeterson, Jackson, Lincoln and Hendricks to deliver them from the clutches of the Civic Leagne and the wiles of the temperance advocate. Down in Rush county the whitecappers who beat Tribbey so terribly are protesting against the action of the state as represented by Attorney Gen* oral Bingham tn endangering their "parsons) liberty." Baah at the bench ■aye he wont vote for Bingham and will join the brewers to defeat the JteI pwblieaß pirty. Thto to serious.

Jerry’s Splendid System.

Jerry came home from school full -of a new idea. "The superintendent came in our room to-day,” he told his mother. ’ and was talking about memories, and he said some one a long time ago invented having pieces to put things in, kind of like pigeon holes fa "father’s desk; then, when you want anything out of them, you look In, and there you are.” "Very good, idea,” said mother, "and < you need something of the sort. Did you order the sugar and

-spiee on the way home this nopn, as I told you to this morning?” ‘-‘No,” said Jerry blushing, “I forgot. You* see, mother, the system hasn’t started up yet.” “Well, you must go back now and get them,” said his mother. “Before dinner?” asked’Jerry ruefully. “It will help you remember next time,” said his mother.. . ; So Jerry stopping only to get Solomon, his pet land tortoise, ran back. He stopped for the mall though, and there he found a catalogue of fcotball supplies for himself, and he studied that so long that the fi.rdt school bell rang before he started home. Then he went flying. On the way he met Mrs. Nelson. “Tell your father, Jerry, to come and see the baby this afternoon,” she said. “He’s very sick.” “All right, I will,” said Jerry.

There was only time for a very little dinner, and Jerry put Solomon, the tortoise down in the library, that lead Into his father’s office. This was strictly forbidden, for Jerry’s father was a specialist in nerve diseases, and Solomon’s way of suddenly and quietly appearing on the floor, or of trying to climb on a patient’s lap, did not assist the owner of disordered nerves toward recovery. But Jerry Intended to get the tortoise after luncheon. Only, he forgot He also forgot about Mrs. Nelson, and the mail for his father, which was In his overcoat pocket He dashed off to school with his precious .catalogue (which he r'emombered to take) In his hand, and was almost late. Something, just as he was about to sit down, caused him to remember all three things at once, and he stood up in his seat frantically signaling to the teacher. "Well Jerry,” she asked. Jerry hardly waited for permission, but rushed home. ♦ A piercing shriek came from the library just as he opened the door. A very little old woman was standing In her chair, her eyes shut and with her skirts gathered tightly around

.her, while Solomon paused in mild wonder tn his act of climbing up in the chair whereon she stood. “What's all this about?" asked bls father sternly. “Oh, father," said Jerry, bringing the mail out of his pocket. “Here's the mall, and I forgot Solomon, and Mrs. Nelson's baby—and great-aunt Susan was scared at Solomon." “Solomon, indeed!" said great* aunt Susan, opening one eye: “The critter came walking up me in a way to scare the wits out of a graven image!" “The system isn't working yet, evidently.’’ said bis mother gently, and trying not to laugh. Great-aunt Susan eat down and asked for explanations. ’ "Humphl" she said at its conclu■lOß - PP be<t Arstam I know of to find Jetrf. after he had put Solomon Id hto room/gd he dejectedly walked bank to school, was boundto admit that she was right.

Wolf Skin Garments.

If those big wolf and eoyote skin overcoat; sued as are worn to K.iasas City by Northwestern in winter and farmers could talk many thrilling and interesting h acting yarns would be added to hunting lore. In the Dakotas, Nebraska and Wyoming, especially, where coats of thft kind are a winter’s necessity for men out of doors, trapping and kiiling wolves and coyotes lor their skins Is quite an industry and is followed with profit by hunters. Many of them are Indians who are skilled in the use of the needle and scissors and realize the full profit on the garment by making it themselves to the customer’s order; The best wolf-skin coats sell for $l5O and none for less than SIOO. The legs of the pelt carnet Le used and for a large coat ten skins are required. Extreme care must be taken of the coats In summer, however to keep the moths out of the fur. They are heavier than any sort of an ulster of cloth and remain rainproof even after days of exposure. E. W. Hart, of Brock, Neb., who was at the Blossom House one night recently, had one of those cca.s a story, or rather with twelve stories, for there was one attached to each of the many skins it was made v.p of. “I am not much of,a hunter,” said Mr. Hart,” and was six years in killing enough wolves to make this coat. It is a home-made affair and a bit rough on the edges, but -good enough for a stockmen. The skin from the sleeves are made was obtained with difficulty. The wolf was the largest of the lot, a female, and half starved at the time I captured ner. I jumped in among the hounds after she was down to keep them from tearing her throat, but before 1 could get a firm hold upon her jaws she slipped loose and fastened her teeth in my coat sleeve. I was comeellc- to le? her go, shake her elf and let the dogs again catch and kill her. I must have chased? f hct at and trFd to trar* flf'y of the befor r I killed enotirh to make Ibe co»*.
