It seems as if society has compre hended. It looks as if the worm had turned. There is but one defense for those in the business, and that is reform from within.

If they do not grasp the import of some of the votes at Salem, they are recklessly discount ing the future. Conductor 8. L. Miller, Norfolk, Neb. on Bonesteel Division of C. A N. W . By.
