The following are a few of many similar declarations of our National Supreme Court respecting tho liquor traffic: "The statistics of every state show a gn-ater amount of crime and misery attributable to the use of ardent spir its obtained at these liquor saloons than to any otner source." "It Is undoubtedly true that it is the right of every citizen of theL'nlt ed States to pursue any lawful trade or bust less, under such restrictions as are imposed upon all persons of the same age. sex and condition. There is no inherent right in a citizen thus to sell Intoxicating liq uors by retail. It is not a privilege of a citizen of the state or of a cit izen of the United States." Crowley vs. Chrlstensen, 137 U. S. 8G. If, as our National Supreme Court here affirms, every citizen has a right to engage In "any lawful trade or business," but does not have the ELECT FOUR SUPREME JUDGES For tho flr.it time li the blutory of the state there are four Judges of the Supreme Court to elect at the ge;i-e-al ele:t!o:i, two for four years and two for six years.

Among these the question of the policy of the Normal School is deserving nf es pecial attention. The Durnose. nlan. scope and function of the Normal school is to prepare, train and edu cate teachers for their work in the public schools of our Btate. Ail ad mit that the better these teachers are trained, the better success they will meet 'with in their work. This means the more benefit in instruc tion your children and mine wi.U re ceive. The cost of this is but four cents on a valuation of $1000.00, and is spe cific in the law. The Normal School tnust be located at some place; there Is a valuable property at Monmouth, and it would be the sheerest folly to abandon this valuable plant which could not be duplicated without a very large outlay of money in any of the cities. The location is in a beau tiful otmtr.h rt ivilllno' fnnnti-v hav ing daily communications with the capitol by boat and by rail, as well as direct communication with the me tropolis. , Tn nhnrl- th interests of the child ren of the state, the Interests of the public schools, the interests or tne Independence.

Having in Crowley vs. Christensen said, "as to the enjoyment of proper ty, the rule is general, that it must be accompanied with such limitations as will not impair the equal enjoy- of.ment of others of their property; and having in Beer Co. vs. Mass. said, "all property in this country is held under the Implied obligation that the owner's use of it shall not be in jurious to the community," that court cannot fail to declare unlawful a traf fic so injurious to our material inter ests as to justify it in saying that if it were destroyed the nation would be "a gainer a thousand fold" in wealth as well as. "in the health and happiness of the people." tr. Qtmio'va. Miss (a. lottery case) that Court made the familiar declar ation, "No Legislature, can Dargaiu away the public health or the public morals." Subsequently, in Beer Co. vs. Mass. (a liquor case) it quoted those words as equally applicable to the liquor traffic. The only logical sequence is the same decision against the liquor traffic as the one they rendered against, lotteries. If our V. S. Courts, which look at the liquor traffic from a full and com prehensive view, condemn it and their decisions favor prohibition, why should not every loyal American cit izen condemn the. liquor traffic , and vote to prohibit it.
