Lincoln county antl commissioner dis trict elections will be posted on THE AKVOCATK bulletin boards Tuesday evening and following the election. Before another issue of Tin: ADVO CATE the question of license or no li cense will have been settled at the polls. On next Tuesday, November 8, the voters of Lincoln county will deter mine whether we shall have licensed, well regulated saloons, or whether the farce of jugwuinpjsm shall be indefi nitely continued. The question is an important one, and much has been said and written on both sides, but in th« light of past experience it seems hard ly probable that a majority of the in telligent voters of this county will fa vor another act in the stupendous farce that has already wrought such disas trous results to our city and county finances. During the past year the theory of the prohibitionist# has been as fairly tested as it ever can be, and what is the result? The count) has been to an expense of some $4,000 for the prosecutiou of liquor cases, besides which it has been deprived of about $3,800 license money, making a total loss to the county of about $8,000, all of which has been incurred that the prohibition policy might be tested. The test of the prohibition theory in this county must certainly have proven anything but satisfactory to even its most devoted adherents. It is hardly probable that anyone will be so reck less as to assert that less liquor has been sold under prohibition than was disposed of under the license system, for the fact that thirteen indictments were found against saloon keepers by the last grand jury would go far to dis prove such an assertion, and the lion est observer knows full well that more liquor has been purchased by the bot tle, and beer by the keg and easa, than during any previous year in the histo ry of the county. In a word, the can did, honest observer knows full well that as much intoxicating liquor was consumed in this city and county du ring the past year as during any pre vious year in their history, and every one also knows hat not one cent of revenue was derived from these sales by either city or county. The direct loss the city has incurred through pro hibition has been great, but it has been nothing in proportion to the loss sus tained by the county outside of CAN TON. Under the old system CANTON received $200 per annum from each saloon within the city limits, and the county $400. Under the license system the city had to (or did) pay a marshal considerably more per month than the present one receives, but-ithad to take care of its own-whiskey cases, Under j* prohibition burden of expense for whiskey trials is thrown upon the county, but the county derives no rev enue from the trailic. Again, the the trials of saloon cases thus far had have resulted in each case, where conviction wras secured, in a fine of $100, thus leaving the saloon keeper a net gain of from $500 to $G00 under the prohibition system $2 00 100 50 ove- would have even under the old com paratively low license system. In short under the prohibition system fully as much intoxicating liquor has been sold as was ever sold in a year prior to its inauguration, and the venders—such as were convicted after a great deal of expense to the county—have simply had to pay $100 in the shape of a fine, instead of in tiie way of license. Now. as the cost of running this coun ty will be fully as great under prohi bition as under license, it is as plain as anything can be that the people gen erally will have to be taxed to make up the deficiency occasioned by the loss of the license revenue. Important as are the considerations mentioned above?however, they are by no means the only ones. THE ADVO- CATI: of j.rohiMtir.r the sale uf intoxiraUug liquors in'Li?seolu com tv] Dakota.

Republican Rally! BEDFORD HALL, GASTON, MOUGAY eveu'IIG, November 7, comincuciug* a 7:3d o'clock, iu the Interests of DIVISION. Promiueut speakers will be present Aniaou neement. I hereby announce myself au independent can didate for tbe office of county commissioner from they'd district, Liucolu county, Dakota. holds that prohibition, as pro- nosed hv its advocates in Dakota, is impolitic, uujust, and unconstitutional. It is impolitic because it is not now, never lias been and never can be en forced as lung as intoxicants are man ufactured, aud a dead law upon the statute hooks is worse than no law at all, inasmuch as it has a tendency to let loose upon other laws the vandal spirit of innovation and overthrow. It is un just because it proposes to confis cate or render worthless a vast amount of property and destroy a business which has heretofore been protected, fostered and acknowledged legal, and which is today licensed by the govern ment of the United States. It is un constitutional because such confisca tion is directly antagonistic to the fun damental principles of a republican form of government. Although it is not yet olliciallv announced it is mor ally certain that the supreme court of the United States has upset the pro hibitory laws of Kansas, and if of Kan sas those of Iowa and Georgia as well. Judge Brewer, formerly of the Kan sas supreme bench, and later of the United States circuit bench, decided that the state had the power to prohib it the sale and manufacture of intoxi cating liquors—us a police regulation for the protection of the public health. But with this he coupled a most im portant condition that before such a law could be enforced, the state should indemnify the owners of such property for the loss incurred by them. This decision was appealed to the supreme court of the United States, and the de cision is against the Kansas prohibi tionists. This means a similar decis ion in Iowa and Georgia, and tlie com plete destruction of prohibition -in these states. 'But even if prohibition was consti tutional it would be impolitic for the reason that it does not prohibit, and wholly precludes the possibility of regulating the traflic, and for these reasons, as well as for other reasons too numerous to mention, THE ADVO CATE Is in favor of a high license that will exclude from the business irre sponsible men, and at the same time hedge the saloon about with such re strictions as shall place it directly un der the control of the authorities and this we believe to be the only practi cal way in which the trailic can be controled ami made to \ield a revenue for the public beneiit. A couple of changes have just taken place in the Church administration. cepted to take effect December 1. Gov ernor Church appointed Major James E. Jenkins, of Chamberlin, to fill the vacancy, lion. John W. liaymond re signed his position as treasurer of Da kota, and the governor appointed Hon. Jobn D. Lawler, of Mitchell,xto fill the vacancy. One of tlm mof.t important pi^Lleras ever presented to any people for^lu tion is the division problem whiolr voters of Dakota will be called uporf solve on next Tuesday. November 8 It is a question on the proper solution of which depend results more momen tous and far-reaching than were ever embodied in any previous question this paoplp has ever been called upon to dfr cide. For months both sides of the question have been presented by writ ters and speakers, until further argu ment on th« subject seems almost su perfluous and yet as the campaign iq just about to close a resume of some of the arguments in favor of division may not be out of place. The benefits that will accrue to Da kota from division are of a two fold character, relating both to our influ ence in national affairs and to out in ternal prosperity. Thos^ at all famil iar with the political history of this country will concede that two states in tins portion of the northwest will exert a far greater influence in uational af fairs than any one state could ever hope to attain. Admitted as'a whole Dakota, with an area of 150,932 square miles, would be plaoed on an exact equality in the United States senate with the state of lthode I slant), with her 1,085 square miles, and in view of the fact that the small eastern states already hold such a tremendous per cent, of power inthat important branch of congress, it is certainly the part of wisdom for the great northwest to bal* ance that power as nearly as possible. This cau only be done by securing di vision and four senators, and tbe day may come when the two extra votes in the senate will count in our favor be yond all present calculation. Again, admitted a» a CANTON, DAKOTA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER what they would still be two states, Texas and California, that would exceed us in area divided there would be only six states in all the union larger than eith er North or South Dakota, viz: Texas, California, Colorado,Kansas, Minneso ta and Nebraska. Now, if we compare the influence any one of these states have in national affairs with the influ ence of any of the smaller states, we must admit (for history demonstrates the fact) that it is the smaller states that wield the influence. California and Texas,with their unwieldly propor tions, cut but a sorry figure in the management of national affairs when compared with such states as New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, South Carolina, or even Delaware. In short the history of all states proves that a great area does not give influence or power. Then, too, the influence the two ex tra senators would exert on commit tees, and in other places other than on the floor of the senate chamber, would even exceed in importance the extra votes they could give^ayd it is moral ly certain that'todr^^itors could ac complish much more for this section of the northwest than two. Dakota divided would give each sec tion an area of something over 75,000 square miles, either one. of which would be larger than arty one state in the union barring the six 'states above named, and with two exceptions these six states are almost nonentities in national affairs. The anti-divisionists, however, place chief stress on the claim that to make two states of Dakota means extrava gance that large states are more economical than small Ofies. The fal acy of this assertion is shown by the following record, where the figures show what it costs for each person in the states named: LAKOE STATU*. PBS CAPITA* New Vork $300 Tulitornia 4 60 Teiug 1 50 (Texas derives an enormous taxjrom the Bale of lumin. Otherwise ita ta* would beian great aa that of New York or California.)

When the territo ry was organized, in 1865, it Was with the express understanding that the vast territory would be divided when ad mitted to statehood. To this end all public institutions have been duplicat ed and every possible arrangement made for the establishment of two jtate governments. The direct benefits that will accrue to both sections from division are almost incalctflable. The interests of each section absolutely de mands division. South Dakota has in terests which Will be much'better pro tected and fostered if she is admitted as a state by herself, and the same is true of North Dakota. The members of the legislature will have the inter ests committed to- their care greatly concentrated compared to what they would be if admitted as a whole, and as a consequence these interests will receive much more careful attention than co'uld be hoped for in an immense state having conflicting interests and conflicting interests Dakota always has had as a territory, and always would have as one state. Then, too, with di vision, the capital will be more easily reached by the people who may have business at the seat of government. In short one state the size of either North or South Dakota could confident ly anticipate much greater things, na tionally and locally, than one great un wieldly state could pver hope for, Let every voter consult his own in terests and the best good of Dakota and deposit a ballot for division on Tuesday next.

The Newnpaper at Ifome. Harper's Bazar: In many families the newspaper has become a forbidden object to the hands and eyes of the younger members.

It is a pity, however, to deprive the grow ing children of all knowledge of what is going on in the world in different re gions from those of crime and house holds have always their safeguard in the provision of a weekly paper which, while keeping its readers abreast with the current of the world, is not bound as a matter of news to the daily consid eration of the last theft or murder.
