American exports of autos have doubled in 12 months. Europe ans may be mortging some of their spare castles to meet this invest ment, but they will get plenty of satisfaction out of it. An investigator connected with the weather bureau after a careful study of atmptpheric currents, says that long aeronautic flights should start in the west, not in the east. Why, of course n o t; tell us some thing new. John Wesley’s mother believed in whipping children with »witches at the earliest possible age. Each member of the family was com pelled to celebrate the 5th anni versary of its birth by reciting the alphabet by heart. M innesotais out of debt and has enough money in the treasury to run the state 12 months without levying any taxes. If there are any Presidential aspirants in Minnesota now is the time for them so make their announcements. Citizens, including Indians not taxed, under the influence of fire water, were one of the sights wit nessed by President Taft in Maine. The Pine Tree State has had pro hibition (so called) 50 years, but is still unable to tell anybody how to make prohibition prohibit. ens, played cards and rattled dice; Ole Virginny, that harks back to the chivalry that rallied to King Charles, and shed unfading glory on two lost causes, has adopted the blue-law code and the Old Domin ion has come to pass that one of her sons shall not indulge the em phasis of cussing without laying himself liable to a fine of $2.50 and» not more than $500. Your awk ward cusser is an abomination ; he is disgusting ; vulgar ; intolerable ; but your profane swearer who knows his business, and cusses for emphasis only, as did George Washington and Andrew Jackson, is “ an engaging and interesting character.” !_______ 1 ■ J Diplomacy and the wireless cap tured Crippen, the London wife murderer, and his affinity, who stepped into prison when the ship that brought them over landed in Canada. The wicked pair now realize the truth of the words that if the criminal “ take the wings of the morning and seek the utter most part of the earth, law and justice await him there. If he make his bed in hell, punishment is ready for him.” Crippen must now know that the modern crimi nal has little chance against the police, publicity, and science, and that the civilized world has become a huge whispering gallery for the detection of crime. *. If the senseless accusations are thrown around as freely in the future as in the recent past as to promiscuous selling, and giving away of liquor in Moro and other cities of this county, no one need be surprised if the vote by this county on state wide prohibition will be^that of NO. Sherman coun ty is not morally a "dry” coun ty though it has twice registered votes at election in favor of that policy. In proof of such conten tion. size up the barrels of beer and liquor weekly brought into the county, a majority of which is hauled out to different farming communities. Sherman county went “dry” to register a protest to dealers who were in the habit of conniving at law breaking; and from the quantity of liquor used in the county we believe that the county will again go wet when ever the outlaying district* are con vinced that the cities will strictly regulate the selling. bill that the voters will be asked to consider, and which, if passed, could not be enforced. To: offset this, the Association has filed with the Secretary of State the following : “ For constitutional amendment giving to cities and towns exclusive power to license, regulate, control, suppress or pro hibit the sale of intoxicating liqu ors within the municipality,” which has been allotted numbers 328 and 329 on the ballot; and which, if passed, will amend the constitution giving to all incorporated cities and towns in the state the right to vote within the corporate limits, wheth er liquor shall or shall not be sold in the municipality. This bill the organization is working hard to pass, feeling assured that it will solve the problem that the people have been bothered with for so many years. The passage of this bill can only be opposed by those persons who cannot trust a city or town to conduct its legitimate af fairs according to the will of a ma jority of its people. It does not necessarily follow that this law, if passed, will permit the present dry towns to be wet, but it will give them an opportunity to vote on the question among themselves, inde pendently of county precincts out side the city limits. Alb of these facts were brought out by Mr. McAllister during his talk. When he had finished the following named gentlemen signed as members of the association : L. Barnum, R. P. Hulse, H. U. Martin, E. H. Moore, B.F. Peetz, J. H. McCune, W. Stanley, C. E. Johnson, G. T. Davis, C. F. Coe, F. W. Rose, H. M. Stine, F. L. Derby, D.W. Wallan, G. E. I^ew- ellen, G.W . Berrian, F.A. Sayres, W.

JUDGE R. R. BUTLER DECLIMES. States His Reasons, Regretted by the People Bat Nevertheless Accepted E very B? dy By Tkeas. T o the people of the Eleventh Judicial District: Having received numerous aoliiitatlona to become • candidate to succeed myself, of Circuit Judge, and being aaaured of no opposition, and having received an un solicited and unanimous endorsement by delegates from thia District to the recent State Assembly of republican», which was endorsed by the entire A»em bly, an honor which I w ill appreciate and cherish as I remain upon thia earth. I desire, at thia tim e, to make my poaition known with reference to the Judgeship. When I was appointed, without aiking for the ap pointment, I stated to my friends that, un der no circumstances would I become a candidate, for various reason», chief of which was my desire to go back to my profession, and devote my tim e and energy to the practice of law. I w ill, at the end of my term, have devoted almost two years to the public service, during which time I have honestly strivèn to perform the duties of the poaition to the beat of my ability, and shall retire w ith the pleasing consciousness of having done my duty, and whatever mistakes I may have made, I have manifested no favoritism for any* one, and have in all cases before me fol lowed the law a» 1 viewed it, and in this connection, I deem it not immodest for me to say, that although there have been but few cases appealed from my court yet I have not been reversed, and without in tending any invidious comparisons, con- aidering the number of casés disposed of, the courts throughtout the district have been conducted at lesa expense to the tax payers, while I have been on the bench, than in the same length of time,during the incum- bency of any of my distinguished prede cessors, and I have no appologies to make to any one for my conduct, for I have »ought to protect the tax payer, promote the ends of justice and uphold the majesty of the law. To my friends who have been kind and true, through good repute and ill, I ex press my sincere gratitude, and I shall re tire from public office with a heart filled with pleasing «md greatful memories of those who have stood by me in my few personal and political undertakings, and I desire to thank, the people generally, who have, regardless of party, so generously offered me their support. e There are other attorneys in the district who w ill serve the people well, and I trust that no mistake w ill be made in selecting my successor.
