It i» true that Prohibition is a Stale issue and the tariff’ is not. But Prohibitionist dreams that his party can capture the State this year, and the Lincoln party has declared in favor of local prohibition—of loesl option, as it is more commonly known. Certainly to accomplish that would be in the direction of the purposes of the Prohibition party. LU is not necessary to wait until the ent.re State shall be converted to prohibition if some of the counties are ready for it now. By supporting local option until they ean get prohibition throughout the State the temperance people would be necting consistently with their principles. no The president of the Women’s Chris- tian Temperance Union is in favor of | the Emery ticket, and believes the | THROUGHOUT THE STATE News of un Semi Loos!

The latest decision in the rural de- livery system is that any one can make his own letter box, provided it is made according to the instructions of the department. So many inches long, so many wide, so many deep must have his name painted on it, and in rainy weather must have an um- brella over the box, and before it can be used it must be approved by the de- partment, aud possibly a tin tag will be attached, giving the date of the ap- proval.
