The Critics Criticised. Newspaper men are usually considered unmerciful critics; that they delight in severing the cuticle from the back of any man who disagrees with them or against whom they may have a grudge, personal spite. This is sometimes true, and sometimes it is not true. However, newspaper men get the turn.called on vthem, and sharply called too, occasionally and then the as well as some of the criticised, clap thel hands and cr "good, good. IF Htf them again? On W.

C. T. U. DAY IN ALTON Mrs. Armour's Lecture wu.s Listen, toned by nil Audience.

A very large audience greeted iM'rs. Armour at the 'M. E. church last night, and showed the deep Interest there was in the cause 'by the attention given her. Mrs.

Ar- '-otir might, be termed a rapld-flrp speaker, a reporter finding it almost, an impossibility to report She treated her subject under four day Deneen was called upon to address the'editors of Illinois and what the Governor did to them was small. He handed out warm stuff, and it is generally believed the Governor took keen delight in administering the punishment On the next day President Taft was' invited to address the Newspaper club of Chicago, and ho made a good second to the governor in the manner he. applied Ihe lash. He went, after his critics in a way that no doubt made some of thorn wince. The President Is as mild a mannered man as one could wish for, but his mildness on Wednesday was charged with a keen truthfulness In regard to the criticisms, passed on him, that had been his lot to bear.

It is hoped that both speeches may fall in ground and be productive of heads, giving a survey of the entire field of proihlbition, expressing her that It was only a matter of lime, and a short time at that until victory perched on the banners, she upholds. She began with a peroration, a sort of a panegyric, of the cause, In w.hlch she expressed a prophecy success soon to be won In' 1 banishment' of liquor from the entire United States, and that the Whit Rlbboners will dictate terms of peace at the National Capitol'. She gave her Ideas as to hew thl? was to be brought about, through education, 'persistent advocacy of the cause everywhere and at al' times; 'by the consistent upholding at Denver and In the west, but this may be accounted for because of tho that males outnumber tbo fe- nmles six to one in the west any way. The grand lodge conductors bero have not yet positively decided what course to pursue in re- Bard to the members who accepted sons from the stork during the past year, but will make the decision soon after Lent. There was unusual Jollity and hilarity apparent among the members last evening after the session broke up and this is taken to mean that there la something in the.
