More than half of this country is now under prohibition laws of some sort, and the “temperance wave" has just got to doing good. No wonder the makers of the ••stuff" are getting “skeered.”—Fremont Tribune. Sherman county's alfalfa crop for this season, compiled by the State Labor Bureau, is as follows: Acreage. 7,930: average yield per acre, 3.1 tons; production, 24,583 tons; value. *196.664. Paste this ip your scrap book. The sentiment that Raosevelt must be drafted into the Republican candi date for President next fall is gaining such momentum as the days come and go that it begins to look as tho' the President will have to accept. The Commercial Bank at Grand Island re-opened its doors last week and word comes from the bank officials that perfect confidence has resulted, the withdrawals being in significant, while the deposits con tinue to grow in a most satisfactory manner. Bellevue College seems to have the champion football team of all the inter-state colleges. Last week their football team, with Jess Marvel in charge, defeated Hastings by a score of 45 to 0. Yesterday. Bellevue was to play Peru, being the final cham pionship game of the season. Through the North western, you can secure the Daily State Journal for 1908 for the small sum of $3 for the entire year, or you can get the daily with Sunday added for $4 till Jan. 1. 1909. These figures are good only for the week Dec. 21 to 28. If you want the Daily State Journal, send or bring in your names and money to the Northwestern any time before Dec. 28, and we will secure the daily for you at those figures. This financial tiurry does not scare the average newspaper man. They are not airaid of any old panic that comes down the pike. They usually have nothing in the bank but a red ink balance. If they have a pair of socks they are on their feet ana they can't use them for a safety deposit vault. If they have any profit com ing it is always on the book in tne way of unpaid subscription, and if they lose it that is just what they J expected.—Stolen. Is it not about time that the ancient and demoniacal custom of chiravaring recently married couples was done away withy Of all barbaric, unseemly and hideous customs hand ed down from the past, this is a little the worst and most uncalled for. Now, we do not for one moment believe our objection thereto will be of any effect, unless, indeed, the official powers that be also enter protest, backed up by official author ity, yet for all it should be stopped. It may not seem so outrageous when confined to and indulged in by small boys, but when adults are in it, the matter becomes little less than dis gusting. Civilized communities should not allow it. The editor has just received a letter from his son, Frank W. Bur leigh. who is stationed at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, in the Coast Ar tillery, that he has been promoted to a non-commiscioned officer, with rank of corporal. For the past year he has been musician of his company. His recognition by his commanding officer is very pleasing to the boy and makes our father-heart beat with a little more pride and an inward prayer for his success. His time will be out on the 12th of next March, when he expects to return home to stay, feeling that he has had enough of army experience. He hopes to be able to cast his first vote this coming November for Theodore Roosevelt for President. The question of the hour seems to be that of temperance. The dailies, the weeklies and the magazines of the country note that there is an im mense temperance wave sweeping over the country, making that sub ject not even second to any other before the people today. In accor dance with this, the Northwestern reprints not a little this week from other newspapers, showing tlie feel ing and sentiment prevailing and growing with a phenomenal growth. This we shall do from week to week as the matter spreads and becomes a matter of most potentious interest. That the saloons must go within a few years, one cannot but see clearly from the growing sentiment, and the ' prediction is confidently made bv . those most familiar with the subject i that within a few years, at most not [ exceeding a quarter of a century, the legalized saloon will become a thing of the past. ^ \ j •' " ~'V * if"''■* *■:'W* ■ "/'*' * v * How Liquor Organs View Liquor Interests (From the New York Sun.) Though the prediction is made by Chairman Jones of the prohibition party that the liquor traffic would be an important issue in the next na tional campaign seems visionary to many persons, the political situation of the saloon is causing much anxiety I in the trade. In all the publications devoted to wine, beer and spirit in terests the progressive restrictions to which the saloon men are being sub jected are being discussed gravely, and the warning is given that unless there is reform in the management of drinking places laws will undoubtedly be enacted under which the business will suffer severely. Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit circular, in its last num ber, prints the report of the execu tive committee of the New York wholesale liquor dealers' assosiation, which said: ‘•Prohibition is the most serious question which confronts you today. Pure food questions, internal revenue questions, all deal with tiie manner in which your merchandise should be sold. The critical and impending question, however, which confronts you is not how you shall sell or brand your product, but whether you are to be allowed to seil it at all; not whether there shall be certain legis lation regarding your business, but whether you are to be legislated out of business.” The association put itself on reconi in a set of resolutions setting forth its ‘"principles and beliefs.” as fol lows: •‘We believe that our business should be so regulated by legislation that those few dealers who by per sistent violation of the law contrive to bring upon our business odium and criticism may be denied the privilege of further continuing in the business. "We believe that the dealer who violates the law is the greatest menance to the welfare of our busi ness and the most serious obstacle to its establishment on a plane merited bv the general character of the great majority of those engaged therein. ‘•We believe that the burden is upon those engaged in the industry so to purge it of its attendant evil’s that it will no longer be subject to attacks and criticism of those who are seeking to uplift the moral tone.” Jn tone and matter these resolu lutions show a complete change in the attitude of the liquor trade toward legislation from that it assumed only a few years ago. Within a com paratively brief period the liquor manufacturers and sellers were violently opposeu to legislation affect ing their traffic. In its "Investors Department's the Circular, after re peating its frequently made assertion that "the great conservative element in society has placed the saloon, as it has generally been conducted, under condemnation," and declaring that the wholesale dealers and manufac turers did not do their share to re habilitate the trade, says: "This is all wrong and it must not be in the f uture, or we are destined to the con dition of outlaws, with all property confiscated in not only the south, but the west, and pereliance in every state in the union. To win in this fight, which has waxed so fierce and which grows more determined each day, we must bring every distiller, brewer, wine maker, wholesaler, im porter. barrel maker, maltser, bottle manufacturer and all of the retailers who favor reform into one compact organization, and we must use this organization as a factor in society to urge and if possible to compel such reform as is demanded, and properly, in the saloon business, by the great conservative element of the country.” It is plain that the prohibition campaign is not looked on as a joke by. the men most intimately con cerned. The successes of the anti saloon advocates have been too many and too notable to be the subject of jest. “As It Is in the South.” Alabama is the sixth state in the union to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. North Carolina, it is predicted, fol lowing Georgia. Oklahoma and Ala bama within the same rear, will make the seventh. From 95 per cent of its territory North Carolina has already harred the saloon by local option. South of the Mason and Dixon line, with the exception of Maryland and Delaware, the sale of liquor is con fined to a few large cities and towns. Thirty-three million people in the United States today five in officially “dry” territory, where as in 1870 only three and a half million iiad hedged themselves about by local prohibitory statutes. Against this showing there is, for the temperance people, the discourag ing fact that the federal revenue re ports show a steadily increasing per capita consumption each of malt li quors. wines, and distilled spirits, which combined amounted to 22.27 gallons in 1900, as compared with 12.06 gallons in 1884. No doubt much of this increase is due to the growth in population and to the arrival, daily, of thousands of foreigners whose views of temperance are not so pro nounced as those of the more thoroughly Americanized sections of the country. The discrepancy affords at any rate, a subject for interesting speculation.—Lincoln Daily Star. A story is told of a cashier of a certain bank as follows: After com siderable trouble, a few days ago. a customer succeeded in being allowed to draw $100 of his deposit in the bank and it was paid In one new crisp bill. When he reached his desk at the office he found the cashier had given him two $100 bills. They had stuck together. The customer ■phoned the bank of the error and the cashier responding, said, “you’ll bring it back, of course. ’ ‘Not by a thundering sight,” said the customer. ‘‘I ll send my boy over with a check : for it.”—Exchange. • MsSiSuSz of I will sell at l ublie Auction at Round Grove. 3 milest of Loup city.

The Albion (Neb.) Argus is of the opinion the real issue at the next election will be the saloon business, and, in support of its belief, publishes the following: The election is past for this year. It is no use to chew over the past. The future is what now concerns us. What will be the issues? If we are not mightily mistaken the issue was sounded by Metcalf at the democratic banquet at Fremont. He said. when it comes to delivering the mothers of Nebraska from the oppression of whiskey by local option, 1 for one. will support the measure with all my might. This sentiment was cheered to the echo by the loyal sons of democracy and we opine the shout has not yet ceased ringing to the fart)lest borders of the state. A blind man can see the wave of popu lar indignation against the saloon business that is sweeping over the land and if the demsare wise they will accept the inevitable, champion the issue and ride in on it to fame and glory. If they don’t we guar antee that the repubs will lie blight enough to do it. An exchange of ours has a poser. It tells of a banker who found a ten dollar bill on the sidewalk as he v.as going to dinner He took it home with him and found a ten dollar butcher bill awaiting him. He gave the bill to liis wife to pay the butcher. The butcher handed the bill to a farmer in payment for a calf. The farmer in t urn paid it to a merchant, who paid it to a washerwoman, who. owing a ten dollar note at the bank, handed it in to the banker and paid her note with it. The banker after wards recognized the bill as the one he had found at noon, and, examining it. discovered it to be counterfeit. Now, remarks our exchange, the bill hawing paid fifty dollars of debts, who lost by the transaction and how much? That’s easy. Nobody lost, nobody gained. It was simply" in the nature of a clearing house transac tion, and might have been done with out the passage of any money or paper wliatever. That is, no one* is ahead, un less the banker passed the counter feit. In that case he gained ten dollars and a guilty conscience—if he had any conscience about him. Truth Beats Fiction. A startling story comes from A ri se 1 mo. Custer countv, the truth of which is vouched for by Mr. Frank Britton's daughter, who recently vis ited in Ravenna. On a farm "near Anselmo, on which Mr. Britton for merly resided, there is an old fash ioned well, curbed with a wooden casing. The family now Hying on the farm have a baby onlv two or three years of age. arid one day re cently the child was missed, and after a search of the premises, the cries of the child were heard issuing from the depths of the well, it hav ing fallen feet foremost for a depth of more than forty feet, when its clothing caught on a splinter in the curb and held it from going further down. The child’s father, who was working in a field at some distance from the house was hurriedly sum moned. and upon his arrival they gathered all the lariat ropes and halters about the place and tied them together, making a line long enough to reach the child in the w'ell. A noose was made in one end and lowered to the child, and it was in structed to fasten the rope about its arms or body. Although the child was scarcely old enough to talk, it seemed to comprehend what was wanted, and followed instructions as regards the fastening of the rope and was safely drawn out of the well, practically unharmed.—Ravenna News The Wyraore Wymorean overheard two farmers talking on the subject of calling their hogs to eat. One said his wife had always called them and t hat they would not come for him. He was puzzled over what he would do if his wife should die. The other man told how he had used a peculiar call that the hogs responded to niceiv until a few years ago when he lost his voice. He said that he trained them to come to eat when he pounded on a box with a stick. The ulan worked ali right for a while, but now the woodpeckers are running his darn fool hogs to death. - — - The North Loup Loyalist tells of seven business men of that town who go away from home to get their printed stationery, and then kick if the printer does not spend his money with them. Every town {except Loup City) has just such men in business.
