It is very likely that the same organization may give other entertainments in the future and we thought a few suggestions might be of some value to that committee in arranging future programs, and all people should remember when you present anything to the public you must expect criticism, and if your feelings are so tender that they can't endure it, don't take part in any public programs. The Bystander representative has no apology, to make. When a good program is rendered we will tell you about it, and if it is not good you will read of it. We expect to tell the truth. What the people want is their money's worth, and if they don't get your patronage will be disappointed. All persons cannot attend the different entertainments, and if the newspapers don't give us that information what is the need of having them? Dr. W. S.

Louisville, Ky.-The Kentucky Anti-Saloon League has at last shown its hand. When the Webb bill was before congress, members of the league said that their only object in urging the passage of the bill was to stop the shipment of liquor consigned to persons for illegal purposes. In other words all it wanted to do was to cut out the bootlegger and the "speak-easy." It was especially emphasized at the time that the bill was not aimed at the man who wanted to purchase liquor for his own consumption. Now an active worker and prominent Kentucky member of the league has made the following statement: "It is not so much the bootlegger and the blind tiger peddler that we were after when we asked congress to pass the Webb bill. The local state authorities can always get after them, but what we want is some means of stopping shipments for personal use. What is the use of our going to the effort and expense of voting a county or a state "dry" if every man in such territory can order and get liquor shipped to him for his own use and the use of his friends and family. It is this practice which we intend to break up." Thus it will be seen that the Anti-Saloon League did not fight in the open when it urged the passage of the Webb bill. Whether the bill affects shipments for personal use depends entirely upon the law of each separate state. One prominent Anti-Saloon League man has stated, however, that a law which would affect absolute prohibition would be the death knell of the present temperance movement. And when the Kentucky Anti-Saloon League attempts to stop the private consumption of liquor it will find that it has taken upon itself a pretty hard problem. ANOTHER "PETITION" AT OSKALOOSA Oakalosa, Iowa.—Another petition of consent is being circulated in this city. As is usual, at the beginning, both sides are confident that they will win out, the wets that they will secure sufficient names and the dries that the required number will not be found on the petition. It took over a year to decide whether or not the last petition of consent was sufficient, and from the threats made by both sides it will probably be that length of time before the one now in circulation is decided. The fight is already growing strenuous, and the bitter feeling that usually follows in the wake of such petitions is becoming evident. These petitions of consent are keeping Oakalosa in a continual state of turmoil. Des Moines, Iowa.—The people who favored the Webb law with the understanding that the bill was only to affect the bootleggers and the illicit dealers are likely to become disillusioned. It seems that someone has dug up an old alleged law which requires every person who has liquor in his possession to have a certificate showing that he holds it for his own use only. Several applications have been filed with the state auditor asking for such a certificate. If the supposed law proves to be effective it will make it very disagreeable, to say the least, for a man to secure a case of beer for his own private use. A.

The ameer has published an edict which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and emboldened shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely is bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and bearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his Ancient Use of Bloodhounds Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essen suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less gruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhangs the water. ABOUT BRYAN Claim He Misjudges His Guests and Doubts Their Self-Restraint. "THE WESTERN PURITANISM." Life:—Of course it is not at all important whether Mr. Bryan serves wine to ambassadors or not. They can always take a nip before they go to his house to dinner, and another when they get home, and that's plenty if they eat with due restraint. But Mr. Bryan's official hospitalities, like Mr. Marshall's speeches, perfectly illustrate the western Puritan attitude, that seems to say: My way is right, your way is wrong. You ought to be like me, and in so far as I can, I'll make you follow my pattern. This western Puritan conception of life is not big enough. It is cramped by inevitable limitations of experience and observation. There is not room in it for all the desirable varieties of human beings. It is not deep enough, not wide enough, not old nor liberal, nor civilized enough; but it's fairly sound, and fairly kind and strong and will come into its own, no doubt in the Lord's good time, and a good deal by way of the colleges and Europe. The west has inadequate experience of life, and it does not know it. Mr. Bryan has inadequate experience of polite life. He did what he thought was right about not offering wine to the ambassadors, and that is to be respected. But if he had been a more sophisticated man he would have realized that the ambassadors were fully competent to use discrimination about beverages, and that it was no part of his duty to restrict their choice while they were his guests. LINCOLN BECOMES A WET CITY Lincoln, Neb.—After several changes back and forth, this city has gone "wet" again. Prohibition in several forms and under the most favorable circumstances has been tried out numerous times, but after a more or less lengthy period of it the city has always returned to regulation. The reason for this is that prohibition in Lincoln has never proved to be a success. Although the home of William J. Bryan, an earnest advocate of temperance, who favored the abolition of the saloon here, each succeeding year has proved more and more the failure of the scheme. Lincoln is not what might be called a wide open town. A large majority of its citizens are law-abiding people. They believe in morality and good citizenship. Yet a law which would regulate their personal habits has in the main proved "obnoxious to them and they have resented such drastic regulations. It has also been well established that when prohibition has been substituted for regulation the illicit dealers have grown in proportion. The people here believe that regulation in the open is better than prohibition which does not prohibit. Exchange:—Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, has issued an order which will abolish all saloons in the Panama canal zone during the coming fiscal year if carried into effect. In a report issued by Col. Geo Goethals, commissioner of the canal zone, and a man who more than anyone else is credited with the success of this gigantic undertaking, it was stated that since the regulated saloon had been established in the zone conditions were vastly improved over what they formerly were when no saloons existed. Col. Goethals stated that drunkenness had decreased and the men were orderly and quiet. Mr. Garrison, who issued the recent order, is in Washington, while Col. Goethals, the man who says regulation is the best, is the man on the job. He lives there, gives his personal attention to that wonderful organization and has an opportunity to see the practical effect of any rule that may be made. Which is apt to know the more about it? When a telephone line is electrically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover to the receiver, the capacity of which somewhat greater than that of a body.

If you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from indigestion or constipation, which will result eventually in serious illness unless corrected. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food should be thoroughly masticated and insalivated. Then when you have a fullness of the stomach or feel dull and stupid after eating, take one of Chamberlain's.

A CASEY RAILROAD WRECK Des Moines, Iowa.—What won't the people in a dry community do to secure liquor? A short time ago the Rock Island road had a wreck near Casey, a small town just west of here. Among the cars that were ditched was one loaded with liquor. After the wreck was cleared up and the contents of the car checked over it was found that five barrels and 106 cases of whisky had been stolen from the consignment. Railroad detectives were put on the case, and as a result seven men, mostly farmers, from the surrounding community, have been placed under arrest. Three barrels of whisky are still missing, but the officers say that they have them located and several more arrests are likely to follow. The sight of good liquor in a community where it is prohibited evidently proved too much for the farmers and they improved their opportunity while it lasted. Does anyone think that the men who took the liquor from the wrecked car are not securing it from other sources when such golden opportunities as this one proved to be, does not come their way?

Anamosa Does Not Like Twenty-One Per Cent. to Control. WANT MAJORITY TO GOVERN Anamosa, Iowa.—Seventy-nine per cent of the voters of this city signed the petition to substitute the regulated saloon for the present conditions that exist here, yet under the law the request was denied. In the meantime over 6,000 empty whisky bottles have been picked up on the streets of Anamosa since the first of the year. Now there is a well defined movement to circulate a petition over the entire county in an effort to secure a petition so that saloons may be operated in the various towns. It is stated also that a good many citizens who are not partial to saloons have signified their intention of signing it, as a protest against the law which would let such a small minority govern so large a majority. When twenty-one per cent of the people of the town have absolute control of the personal habits of so large a majority there is always discord. Where a majority of the citizens of a town or community believe no saloons should exist it is right that they should not be allowed to operate. But why should not this same privilege be given to the majority when the sentiment is the other way? This is the "bee" that sticks in the "bonnets" of a good many citizens in Anamosa and Jones county. In the meantime it is too plain to be denied that conditions here are growing from bad to worse. For the man who indulges in liquor at all, whisky seems to be the universal drink. A change in the laws so they would be reasonably fair to both sides of the issue would be welcome here.
