No decision Wan given but in this city
where the papers are so largely in
fluenced by the brewers these two
editorial statements speak for them
selves The Free Press said The
antagonists of the prohibition movement
will have to adopt a vastly different line
of argument if they wish to make head
way against the facts and figures of its
advocates An opinion signed by an
editorial writer in the Journal said
The Michigan man beyond any ques
tion whatever carried off the honors
Later the Journal had a cartoon
picturing a w imin in a rage
against her husbaud She was
shrilling What Home again sober
This will drive nie insane Below theie
was a column account of the plea of
Mrs So and So for divorce It was
written in technical legal phraseology
and stated that the first two eara of
married life had been blissful because
her husband in a manly way had
regularly come home drunk and abused
his family but since the prohibition
laws had gone into effect he had sadly
changed his ways Now he refuses to
get drunk or stay out with his fiipnds
and he does not even get drunk at home
This naturally began to wear on the
petitioners nerves and it is having a
baneful effect upon her mind She
trusts a humane court will grant her
merciful release Below small print
said This is the first day of April
The brewers have had a number of
speakers of national repute hero to
defend their interests but every one
Las succeeded in giving an impetus to
the teniperai ce cause The debate was
no exception it was many believe the
ni03t telling blow ever struck for tem
perance in this city They simplj have
not talking points While th work in
the dark by the corruption of politics
and the subsidizing of newspapers by
the boycott and the intimidation of
public men they put up powerful op
position but just as soon as they step
out into the open and attempt a verbal
defense of their business they throw
away their case The American saloon
cannot stand the light
We are earnestly wishing that these
discussions may go on It is heartening
to hear the brewers ring the bell for a
prohibition meeting Nothing that I
know of could have brought together so
great a company of our representative
business men to hear a temperance ad
dress as did the debate We wish Chi
cago would let u have the second one
here With the Rev Dr Rose to
read the scriptures and Dr Dickie to
expound them it would not take many
meetings to start a sweeping temperance
revival even in Milwaukee

GAMBLING
Some parents think this subject so
trifling as to be unworthy of notice or
correction but there is nothing too small
to merit attention that has to do with
warping character and this it unques
tionably does A few are so far from
tho right point of view as to desire their
boys lessons in experience to date from
their marble playing days in hope they
may gain shrewdness or wisdom from
ft But alas So many of us are heed
leas of consequences or trust to infinite
goodness that our boy shall take no
harm from the amusement The full
grown gambler is a far cry from the
email lad in knee pants cheerfuly wear
ijgoutthe knees of his stockiogs for
the patient overburdened mother to
mofld but we need to make the applica
tion personal

mine said Mrs GrMdgriud God for
bid Then let us see to the careful in
struction of our lads in the right and
wrong of this matter I think every
mother will admit that the wee laddie
iu his best miods cm be mado to see
clearly the difference between mine
and thine and it must be among the
first lessons we teach him It ought to
be pretty well fixed in his mind before
the marble playing age and he will at
once see the justice in not placing for
keeps How many of us have realized
that our little ones were indeed fresh
from the hand of God when ho has
rither startled us by his grasp of the
justice of some situation where our own
i teas may have been somewhat biased
and we real ze this to our shame Then
woe o us if we fail to build sure found
ation on this at that age for the man
hood that shall be assaulted on every
side and like the house builded on the
sand the fall thereof may leave our
htinrts most desolate
Not only may g imbiers be the result
of carelessness or neglect of our boj
habits in play We are most of us
aware of the grned of gain that need- no
fostering to develop into a so c died
c tptain of industry who with his train
ed hosts rides rough shoe over his weak
er brethren and makes the bread they
earn bitter by his pitiless disregard of
their rights These kind of gamblers
who deal in the necessities of peoplr
corner wheat or monopolize iron coal
oil timber or any great necessity or i
dustry are as well the logical outcome of
our marble player In the training cf
miy own lads I have indeavored to in
still the thought of the rights of othera
and the bible idea of letting him take
our cloak also with varjing degrees of
success up to a certain time After the
lure of thw world and the rush for the
mighty dollar gets hold of them it
saems as if ones teaching is in a mea
sure forgotten But even jet let that
same counsel continue of preferring the
welfare of others to their own and
along with the voice of conscience
mothers voice will also chime with the
still small voice and who can say they
will not prevail when temptations assail
I can never see why a mother of sons
or daughters either should ever array
herself on the side of the saloons or
any debauchery for she of all people
can not afford to be on any but the right
side of moral questions and then if any
of her own shall meet with shipwrack
on temptations seas it cannot then be
said to her you are to blame Her
heart will be sore enough without this
thorn
There are so many and onticing ways
to entrap the unwary all along the way
and some of them I am sure are placed
there by people who are not intention
ally guilty of any thought of the harm
they will do Slot machines in their
various guises and various vendings of
things calculated to part tho small boy
and his penny or nickles candy boxer
with chance for free boxes grab bags
also alluring to the small child and con
tributing to disappointment or success
with a desire to try either one over
again with the hope that springs eternal
in the human breast The raffle and
buying of numbers with chance of
winning some article of value many
time3 over the risk appeals to those
older and keeps them in the path and
now developes into the get something
for nothing or get rich quick and by
and by some poor souls feet are in
quicksand and he goes behind prison

What a pity it is that all the hrist
im denominations of our city do not
co operate together in the cause of tem-
pernnce Any true christian will nd
mit that the saloon is one of the great-
est enemies of the church and yet we
unci many wno nave sworn 10 runner

themselves to the enemy betraying

to remain in bed for a couple of das

would dart through me I also had
frequent headaches and dizzy spells and
the kidney secretions annoyed me some

HE MYSTERY OF MARS
Old but Unsolved Problem Is Thor
Animal Life on tho Planet
With n planet so old ns Mars nnd so
far along In the process of life ex
tinction the conditions of life would be
severe nnd only a highly Intellectual
nnd scientifically developed racecould
endure and master them The engi
neering skill and constructive capacity
to control the annual Hoods from the
poles store the waters and build the
thousands of miles of huge canals
would require scientific knowledge be
yond that possessed by us at the pres
ent time and financial resources In ex
cess of those we have yet accumulat
ed The nation that finds the digging
of a little ditch at Panama so great a
task would be helpless In the face of J
such a problem as these thousands or
miles of Martian canals If indeed ca
nals they be Yet in view of the
greater life age of Mars such higher
intelligence would be natural Iu the
regular process of development as
suming that it has ever been the abode
of Intellectual life
Scientists are In the main In a re
ceptive stare on this subject They
are not ready to admit that the exist
ence of life on that planet has been
proved They do not deny It but call
for greater proof than a plausible the
ory Among others than scientists
there is in the main a disposition not
to accept the Martian human life
theory or the theory of life on any of
the thousands of spheres that wheel
and glisten in Illimitable space They
seem to think that such a theory con
flicts with religion and dwarfs man
and his importance In the scheme of
creation
This seems to be a very narrow view
to take since it appears to set bounds
upon the Infinite power and creative
desires of the Almighty whose great
scheme of mortal and immortal life is
not necessarily confined to a single
planet or the few billions of human
beings who are born and die upon It
As to dwarfing the importance of man
a few billions nitre added to the bil
lions on earth would make little differ
ence Man is at best a small and in
significant creature but if all embrac
ing wisdom power and love takes so
licitous note of him it would be limit
ing those infinite qualties to say that
one planet must be his abiding place
Therefore the question of human in
telligence on Mars or any other planet
of the solar system or the other great
systems iu remote space should be
purely and simply a scientific one tc
be accepted as true only when proved
but not to be rejected through
ment or for any other reason whatever
except lack of proof St Louis Star
An Oriental Blessing
A well known representative fron
China who was a guest at a wedding I
in a capital city was approached after
the ceremony by the best man and
jocularly asked to go over to the
young couple and pronounce a parental
blessing The obliging dignitary com- j
plied with pleasure Placing his ha ids
on the blushing bride and shaking I
bridegroom lie said May every iew
Jnar bless you with a man child off
spring until they shall number twenty i
Gve in all May these twenty live man j
children offspring present you with
twenty five times twenty live grand
children and may these grandchil
uren
But the little bride grew hysterical
about this time and the oriental bless
ing was ended amid the laughter of
the guests Ladies Home Journal
A Cowboy Spider
Faking aside said the nature stu
dent there is in New Zealand a cow
boy spider This creature throws n
coil of web like a lasso over its p eys
head then adds more and more coils
and when the prey is bound hand and
foot devours it
There is a Borneo spider that in
the spring days plays a liddle It is a
common thing for a lovesick spider to
dance before Ills girl but this Borneo
boy my drawing his arm across his
turn produces a sweet clear note
Whenever he sees a good looking
young lady spider he stops and gives
her a tune honing to win her by
