Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1909. of Washington in particular and the United States in general, exhibited the finest collection of stereopticon views of mountain scenery in existence. The country has few such men as Mr. Hill, who is not only devoting his time and his talent, but likewise his fortune to good road building in the state of Washington and yet the public, who will be the most benefited by his efforts, do not seem inclined to enthuse with him over the proposition. Mr. Hill's recommendation that the legislature appropriate the sum of $100,000 to establish five convict camps with a large crusher at each one, should be unanimously voted by the legislature. Better roads mean better crops as well as better prices. Don't lose either your temper or your patience if per chance the other fellow differs' from you on matters of state or otherwise. There never was a question but that had two sides and many things can be said on both sides. You may feel that two Rut As Every Question Has Two Sides. Every Question Has Two Sides. your views are absolutely correct on the question at issue and so far as you are concerned they are, but God never created to human beings that looked, thought and acted exactly alike and therefore the person who differs from you on vital questions may be just as honest in his or her opinion as you are in yours, and you should respect his or her opinions just as you would have him respect yours. Let those members of the legislature, who feel unkindly to newspapers that do not agree with them on their local option ideas, just remember that, only wise men differ. It is utterly impossible for The Seattle Republican to give to its readers any new information on the defeat of the Falconer local option bill in Falconer's Bill the senate. It, however, was undoubtedly the most skillful and best planned parliamentary battle Failed of Passage. Falconer's Bill Failed of Passage. as well as the greatest forensic discussion that has ever been heard in the legislative halls of the state of Washington. The day opened bright and clear and Old Sol in all his glory lent luster to the occasion. More than an hour before the regular opening hour of the galleries of the senate began to fill up with anxious faced men and women, the senators got in unusually early and every indication pointed to a mighty struggle. It quickly came and lasted until nightfall when the previous question was called for and the Falconer bill failed of passage. A. S. Ruth, who championed the defeat of the Falconer bill and who made the only speech among those who thought as he did on the subject, Ruth Talks read from manuscript, and The In The Senate. Seattle Republican has no hesitancy in saying that it was the most classical and logical presentation of the anti-prohibition side of the liquor question that has ever been heard in the West. While he who speaks from manuscript does not reach the hearts of his hearers as he who speaks extemporaneously, yet Senator Ruth handled his speech with such oratorical skill that his hearers were just as attentive as if he were speaking extempo. The array of statistics, the metaphors and comparisons were all so apt as well as illustrative that even those who opposed Senator Ruth had nothing but words of praise for him after he had finished. George F. Cotterill championed the merits of the Falconer bill on its final passage and there is no denying that, George F. Cotterill Answers Ruth. logic magnificent. A vein of satire was noticeable from the beginning to the end of his speech. He presented a splendid array of statistics and so convincing that they seemed almost irrefutable. The good effects of prohibition on the citizens of the New England states were forebly elucidated. Kansas was not overlooked as a shining light by which prohibitionists might walk without losing their way. It was the consensus of opinion that Mr. Cotterill demonstrated that he is by far the most eloquent speaker of the eleventh legislature. To have the legislature to create new commissions and new offices that more official leeches may be able to attach themselves to the public Political Parasites teats and thereby become official Want More Offices. parasites, regardless of the cost to the taxpayers, seems to be the highest ambition of the politician of the present day. If the eleventh legislature listens to the prayers of the politicians in King county, it will pass a bill increasing the --- Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents. This has been a busy week indeed for the members of the legislature, for many of their friends and acquaintances have called on them for one thing and another. Everybody and his brother were at Olympia this week with the home of getting their Legislators' Friends. Visited Them. private and personal grafts looked after before the legislature gets too near its closing days. Including next Monday, there will be but sixteen more actual working days, with Saturdays, and in view of the fact there are so many personal matters to be cared for, it's necessary for each and every one to hurry or some one of them will be left, which will be too bad, as the poor house may have to entertain some of the promoters until the next legislature perhaps passes a relief measure. Fearful lest the legislature pass a bill removing the state industrial and training school from Chehalis to some point in Eastern Washington, the citizens of that hamlet are up in arms and almost threaten Acting Governor Hay with political annihilation unless Chehalis Citizens Register Protest he recedes from his purpose. It seems to us that Gov. Hay is absolutely correct in his contentions, and the transplanting of the school to a section of the state where the greatest good to the greatest number would be the unqualified result should meet the approval of the citizens of the entire state. Those boys, trained to fruit and vegetable raising, would be more apt to get a small farm for that purpose than they would be to get a dairy ranch, the outlay for which would be a thousand times greater. The passage of the woman suffrage bill is still a matter of speculation, and that, too, despite the fact a majority of the members of the Woman Suffrage Senate favor its passage. A mere majority, however, will not suffice, but to submit a constitutional Still In a Balance amendment it requires a two-thirds majority, and that's where the rub will come. The editor of this paper is of the opinion that the requisite number of Senators should favor the bill, not because it would in any way commit them to the support of the measure at the polls, but because it would give other men, equally as influential in the affairs of the state as themselves, an opportunity to express themselves on this measure. How you may vote on the subject at the polls has nothing to do with so voting in the Senate as to give every other man a chance to either kill or cure the desire. To expend another dollar on the present capitol building of the state of Washington is nothing short of a wilful waste of public moneys. Capitol Building a Wilful Waste Dr. H. P. Carlyon wants enough of the capitol land grand sold to complete the state capitol and pay off the indebtedness of the capitol building. The debt, to be sure, should be liquidated, but to invest another dollar on the present pile of brick, stone and mortar, which has been styled the capitol building of the state of Washington, is simply throwing good money after bad money. The present capitol building is as wholly inadequate to accommodate the needs of the state in that capacity as is a one-room school building to accommodate 500 graded pupils. Yes, that's Charley Cline sitting in the gallery and he is as quietly watching the proceedings of the house of rep- Charley Cline Watches Proceedings. the house and once speaker of that body. But a few short years ago and the name of Charles E. Cline was on the tongues of the entire citizenship of the state of Washington and he came dangerously close to being hooked up with national fame, as he by all rights of political justice should have been elected United States senator in 1897 when the Pops controlled the legislature. The writer is inclined to think it would have been no trick at all for him have been nominated for congress or for governor of the state, but he had his heart set on the United States senate, and it was that or nothing, and it was nothing, and he is now an everyday farmer of Whatcom county and happier perhaps than if he had gone to the United States senate. Those of the legislature and the visitors to Olympia who took advantage of the opportunity were most beautifully entertained by Mr. Samuel Samuel Hill Hill of Seattle, the good roads Doing Good Work. enthusiast, last Tuesday evening, who, after delivering a short address on needed legislation for better roads in the state Ruth Talks In The Senate.

CAYTON, Publisher 1909. present roster of superior court judges from six to seven, add three additional justices of the peace, increase the number of county commissioners from three to five and divide the county into commissioners' districts, all of which will mean an increase of not less than $50,000 per annum for the maintenance of these new offices. Dividing the county into districts and making each commissioner elective only in his district is but another ruse on the part of the grafters to perpetuate themselves and their friends into office. Both the bill for the additional justices of the peace for Seattle and the extra commissioners for King county should be indefinitely postponed. In pitting Senator Ruth against Senator Cotterill the two factions in the senate perhaps selected their ablest oratorical champions. While Ruth Ruth vs. Cotterill was classical, Cotterill was satirical. As Debaters. While Ruth was cutting, Cotterill was tickling. While Ruth Ruth vs. Cotterill As Debaters. quoted freely from men of the past, Cotterill quoted equally as freely from the living. While Ruth based himself on the Bible, Cotterill based himself on the women and children. While Ruth dealt with stubborn facts from beginning to end, Cotterill dealt almost exclusively with glittering generalities. While Ruth was talking against surrounding public sentiment, Cotterill had the almost unanimous sympathy of the visitors and an equal number of the senators. Both of them had their drawbacks and therefore the best in each of them were brought out. The Nichols local option bill, which passed the Senate and transmitted to the House, will be defeated in the House. The Seattle Republican predicted last week that there would hardly be any local option bill passed, and it is still of that opinion. In case the pres- Local Option Bill Passed ent session of the legislature fails to pass a local option law Acting Governor Hay has decided to call an extra session at once and endeavor to force the legislature to pass the Faleoner-MeMaster bill. This will be another wilful waste of public funds, for that bill will never be passed if the legislature be called together a hundred times. It is a prohibition measure, pure and simple, and the eleventh legislature of the State of Washington not only does not favor a prohibition law, but will never vote for it. County option was beaten in the Minnesota legislature on February 4th by a vote of 44 to 73. The state has a local option law applying to Minnesota Not certain districts and towns, and seems disinclined to go farther. Minnesota lives pretty far north, and considera- For Prohibition Minnesota Not For Prohibition tions of latitude may enter into its feelings on the liquor question. It also has a large Scandinavian population that is used to northerly habits of life. Alcohol is less harmful to human life in cold climates than in warm ones, or so the doctors say, though the W. C. T. U. would refuse to admit that it is less harmful anywhere. Moreover, the better and more responsible is the population of any state the less is its need of stringent liquor laws. If Minnesota is less excited about liquor laws than some other states in her neighborhood and elsewhere, it is fair to infer that she has reason to be.—Harpers Weekly. Whether or not the new criminal code will run the gauntlet of both branches of the legislature is a very serious question in the minds of some of the members of the body. That the code commission has endeavored to frame a code that would meet the Criminal Code Being Gone Over Criminal Code Being Gone Over criminal requirements of this rapidly growing state is quite evident, and that the sub-committee of the legislature is likewise using its best endeavor to aid in that object is also apparent and the legislature should give the whole code careful consideration before turning it down. Senator Presby, one of the members of the subcommittee, is one of the ablest lawyers of the state and he is giving every section of it the most careful consideration, and his recommendations for or against the code will go a long way towards killing or passing it. During the past week the sub-committee and the commissioners have listened to protests and objections, and in almost every instance the defects have been remedied. The speech of Senator Ruth against the local option bill, delivered in the Senate last Wednesday afternoon, will be found in this issue of The Seattle Republican, on the fourth and fifth pages. 6 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, in and for the County of King.

COUNTRY PRESS ON COON-HAY CONTEST. COON gets "skinned" in his suit contesting Hay's right to the office of Lieutenant Governor, as he was in the recent election. -Mason County Journal. The Supreme Court has decided that M. E. Hay did not disqualify himself by having his photo printed in the papers under "paid advertisement." Coon made a losing fight from the start and today stands a very poor chance for honors in the ranks of the Republican party. Mr. Hay has already shown himself to be a strong man and has gained the confidence of his party by his straightforward manner.—Buckley Banner. The supreme court has finally placed a quietus on old Mr. Coon's claim to the lieutenant governorship, with two of the seven justices dissenting. Rudkin and Fullerton. It is to be hoped that this will do for the ancient gentleman of Port Townsend and that he will now retire from public gaze. A man with his record ought to be satisfied to be forgotten.—Yakima Democrat. The supreme court has decided that Lteutenant Governor Hay did not violate the primary law by having his photo published in the newspapers. Well, if such an act is a violation of law, the law should be repealed. There is no reason why our laws should not possess some common sense as well as words, words, words. —Kalma Bulliten. The supreme court has decided that Hay is lieutenant governor of this state. This ends the silly question which has caused some worry to certain politicians of the state. The surprising thing about it is that only four of seven of the judges decided in favor of Hay. One held the advertising feature of the primary election law to be unconstitutional and two held that Hay had violated the law in paying for advertising in the newspapers.—White River Journal, One of the Register exchanges refers to Governor M. E. Hay as the "Autocrat of the Legislature at Olympia." It is a whole lot safer to have a good autocrat than a bad Democrat at the capitol. Let's have a few more bright remarks from your lip, Mr. Democrat.—Wilbur Register. The decision by the state supreme court adverse to former Lieutenant Governor Coon in his contest against Lieutenant Governor Hay eliminates him from state politics and relegates to the honeyard. When a man is badly beaten in the primaries, especially direct primaries, he dosen't make any friends by doing the baby act and trying to knock a successful opponent. The people said they preferred Hay to Coon for the nomination and it was up to Coon to look pleasant and hope for better luck next time and not try to slip into office through some hole in the law. Hay did strain the law some when he advertised but he bought no newspaper support Being an active attorney and from time to time having legal notices for publication, it is perfectly natural for you to want to get acquainted with those newspapers that do your kind of business. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Is just your size in this respect. It already has some notices for publication, as may be seen herein, but it needs more of them, and to that end your business is earnestly solicited. GHABLEY ON THE SPOT.

He won his nomination squarely and was entitled to the office.—South Bend Journal. Anyway, it is a relief to have the much-discussed governorship question settled once and for all, and besides few people will feel sorry for Mr. Coon.—Walla Walla Statesman. In the contest case of Coon vs. Hay over the question of lieutenant-governor, in which Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Coon sought to oust M. E. Hay from that office upon the grounds that he had disqualified himself by using the newspapers of the state as a means of publicity during his campaign for his nomination, the supreme court was badly divided and three distinct opinions were given; two of which hold that Hay is rightfully entitled to the office he holds, as the action of the direct primary law under which it was attempted to deprive him of it is so obscure and misleading that the contention of either party could be reasonably construed as the true meaning of it. The other opinion was almost directly opposite in view, but equally as emphatic in declaring the law a jumble of words capable of many interpretations, and with few redeeming features. —Goldendale Sentinel. There will he no Coon or possum for the State of Washington in the governor's chair this year. It will be just Hay.—Colfax Gazett. The contest of the election of of Lieutenant Governor M. E. Hay, instituted by his predecessor, Chas. E. Coon, has been decided by the supreme court, and the result is a second defeat for Coon. One of the peculiar features of the case is the fact that the former lieutenant governor was first inclined to rebel upon the ground of the unconstitutionality of the direct primary law, as awarding the nomination under a second choice provision, but finally elected to make the fight on the grounds of the alleged violation of that measure, because of the fact that Mr. Hay's expense account showed that he had been a liberal user of newspaper space, and had contributed considerable sums for publicity in forwarding his candidacy. The court held that the application of this money was not in contravention of the law, and a final quietus is placed upon the threats of the old ring politicians to upset the results of the first state election under the new system. The results must be accepted with whatever grace can be commanded and the fact accepted that the people of Washington and not the politicians must hereafter dictate as to who shall serve them.—Tacoma New-Herald.

A certain prominent lawyer of Toronto, Ont., is in the habit of lecturing his office staff from the junior partner down, and Tommy the office boy, comes in for his full share of the admonition. That his words were appreciated was made evident to the lawyer by a conversation between Tommy and another office boy on the same floor which he recently overheard. "Wotcher wages?" asked the other boy. "Ten thousand a year," replied Tommy, "Aw, g'wan!" "Sure," insisted Tommy, un- abashed. "Four dollars a week in cash an' de rest in legal advice." The colored parson had just concluded a powerful sermon on "Salvation Am Free," and was announcing that a collection would be taken for the benefit of the parson and his family. Up jumped an acutely brunette brother in the back of the church. "Look a-year, pahson," he interrupted, "you ain't no sooner done tellin' us dat salvation am free dan yo' go askin' us fo' money. If Salvation am free, what's de use in payin' fo' it? Dat's what I want to know. An' I tell yo' p'intedly dat I ain't goin' to gib yo' nothin' until I find out.

An' it wouldn't cost yo' nothin', would it?" "Ob co'se not. Dat's jest what I—" "Dat water would be free," continued the parson. "But s'posin' yo' was to hab dat water piped to yo' house?

"Yas, suh, but—" "Wal, brudder, so it am wid salvation De salvation am free, but it's de havin' it piped to yo' dat yo' got to pay for" Pass de hat, decon, pass de hat." Champ Clark loves to tell of how in the heat of a debate Congressman Johnson of Indiana called an Illinois representative a jackass. The expression was unparliamentary, and in retraction Johnson said: "While I withdraw the unfortunate word, Mr. Speaker, I must insist that the gentleman from Illinois is out of order." "How am I out of order?" velled the man from Illinois. "Probably a veterinary surgeon could tell you," answered Johnson, and that was parlimentery enough to. stay on the record.—Success Magazine. MOUND BAYOU. MISS. Probably the largest and most progressive Negro town in the United States is Mound Bayou, founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery in 1888. Twenty years ago the region was a veritable jungle, wild and inaccessible. To-day it is an up-to-date, enterprising town, with a population of from 4,000 to 5,000. There are thirteen stores and many small shops, which do an annual business of $600,000. The chief occupation is cotton raising, which yields profitable returns from the rich, fertile land of the delta region. There are six churches and three schools. The Mound Bayou bank was organized in 1904, with capital stock of $10,000. In November, 1908, the total resources indicated $1-10,000. Charles Banks, founder and cashier of the bank, has been a conspicuous figure in the upbuilding of Mound Bayou. Three cotton gins, a telephone exchange, and a weekly newspaper add to the pride of this successful city. The Mound Bayou Loan and Investment Co., capitalized at $50,000, has now 57 stockholders.—Pythian Monitor. 4 Seattle Republican Published Every Friday, 307 Epler Blk. Phone Main 305. H. R.

That Abraham Lincoln was the greatest man the world has ever produced, save snd except Jesus Christ, the black folk of this country has believed all along and now fifty years after he has been sleeping in his tomb the white folk are waking up to the same belief. What was actually done with the body of Booth, the slayer of President Lincoln, is again going the rounds of the press. A Seattle man declares it was thrown into the Potomac river, but regardless of what was done with it, we are of the opinion that, the soul of Booth is not disturbed one way or the other, about it. The body of murderers in British Columbia, it is said, are cut down and permitted to fall unhandled in a hole under the gallows where it is buried in quick lime, which of course, consumes the remains in a very few days, thus wiping out every thing visible of the criminal. While the anniversary number of the Daily Times, issued last Sunday, may have been the largest newspaper that has ever been published, yet it certainly was by no means, either the most readable or the most presentable newspaper that has ever been published. In fact it was simply a homogenous mass of advertising and nothing. Judge Wilson R. Gay has decided that Matt Gormley is still county treasurer and will be until his successor has been elected and qualified. The Seattle Republican took that view of the question in the very outset of the controversy and we believe that Judge Gay will be sustained by the supreme court. What is the constitution of the state for if not to guide us in just such emergency cases as the Russell-Gormly-Smith controversy? Lincoln Way from Washington City to Gettysbugg, Pa., the scene of the turning point in the Great Civil war in favor of the North, will be a fitttng monument to the memory of the man that made it possible that such a highway could be built. And the A. Y, P. exposition will be ready a month ahead of time. according to the prediction of C. J. Smith, one of the members of the board of directors. It may be ready a month before opening time, but we are of the opinion that an army of workmen will find work enough to do not only until opening day, hut even after opening day and they will be getting the exposition ready for the show all the time. RUTH ON LOCAL OPTION. Ruth's Speech in the Senate on the local option will was as follows: The friends of the measure known as the Anti-Saloon League bill must elect to defend themselves on the ground that they are advocating state wide prohibition. They cannot avoid this issue if they would, and I do not think they will try. The gentlemen who are advocating the passage of this bill are the representatives on this floor of the Anti-Saloon League. That the Anti-Saloon League is a prohibition organization-none of them will attempt to deny. Naturally one would not look for a reasonable local option bill to emanate from that source. As the people advocating this measure are admittedly prohibitionists themselves, they must either stand by this bill as a prohibition measure or confess that they are sailing under false colors. The bill itself clearly shows that it is a prohibition bill, for by no stretch of imagination can the county unit be called reasonable local option. The county has been made the unit for the sole purpose of allowing the country precincts to vote the cities dry. This would be the most offensive kind of prohibition. The provision of this bill which makes every precinct dry, if the county votes dry, regardless of the fact that the precinct may have voted wet, and every precinct dry that votes dry, regardless of the fact that the county voted wet, is a wonderful conception of reasonable local option. This, then, being a prohibition measure in fact, if not in name, gives the right at this time to examine the effects of prohibition as a remedy for intemperance. That there is a drink evil I admit; that it is the duty of every member of the senate to vote for any measure calculated to remedy that evil, no one will dispute; that all the brains, all the honesty, and all the desire to legislate for the best interests of the State of Washington is confined to the gentlemen supporting the Anti-Saloon League bill, I deny. Impugming the motives of another is cheap and easy. Hysteria is not argument. I am opposed to anything that savors of prohibition for the reason that I know, both from observation and study, that instead of helping the cause of temperance, it has exactly the opposite effect, besides bringing in its train a host of other evils, more to be deplored than even the vice of intemperance, lying, hypocrisy, deceit and disregard of all laws. I am opposed to prohibition because it abolishes the decent saloon and the decent saloon-keeper and substitutes the dive and the dive-keeper, always, as I shall prove to you, in greater numbers. This, too, is the reason why, in a license state like Washington, the saloonmen are opposed to prohibition; a large percentage of our saloonmen are decent, law-abiding citizens; these men under prohibition will go out of business and their places will be taken by men who are willing to become criminals. The dive-keeper of today will continue to run a dive and for every decent saloon that prohibition closes, history will repeat itself, and you will find two dives in its place. Another reason why I am opposed to prohibition is the quality of liquors sold in prohibition states. That men will drink, if they want, is a truism, and it is equally true that if they cannot get pure liquors they will drink any kind that comes to hand. The sale of Jamaica Ginger, flavoring extracts, beef, wine and iron and all of the patent medicines having alcohol as a base, is increased four-fold under prohibition. Getting drunk on these things has become so common in Maine that the expression "Jaky Jag" has come into general use, to describe in short form a species of drunkenness so bestial that in comparison a Siwash with a whiskey skate on looks like a Sunday school teacher. With the man, who, when this question is under discussion, puts every part of his brain in cold storage, except his bump of emotion, it is useless to argue. When any man approaches this question on the basis that to sell liquors is a sin, or that it is immoral, he is either an irrational vendor of words who has never devoted a single moment to the study of the question or else he has gained his entire stock of information from some hair-brained individual, who makes his living playing upon the emotions of the women and children, and that part of the public who always do their thinking by proxy. Bishop Hall, of Vermont, speaking on this subject, said: "Prohibition, by many of its earnest advocates, is connected with the notion that all use (save for medicinal purposes) of drink, that in excess may be intoxicating, is wrong. The use of such drink is in itself no more wrong than the use of tobacco. In either case it is the misuse which we have to guard against. Doubtless, with many persons, total abstinence (from wine or from tobacco) may be safest and best. To attempt to enforce this on all persons is to manufacture an artificial sin with the risk of leading many persons to think lightly of what is absolutely wrong." If on this question of drink, we take the bible as our guide, we can proceed on these two propositions: To drink liquor is not a sin. Neither of these assertions can be successfully disputed by even those ministers of the gospel, who have confessed themselves failures as teachers of morality, by forsaking the pulpit for the political rostrum unless they are willing TH ATTLE REPUBLICAN at the same time to substitute the criminal code for the Bible. If prohibition had never been tried, if it had never been proven a failure, there might be some excuse for the present propoganda carried on by the Anti-Saloon League, wherein they arrogate to themselves the title of "Temperance Forces" and through the unscrupulous efforts of their paid agents and agitators endeavored to make the people believe that the only men opposed to them are what they are pleased to term the saloon element. Claiming themselves to be prohibitionists from principle, they pretend to believe that it is impossible for any man to oppose them from principle or for any reason except that he is a saloon man or a paid hireling of the saloon. If prohibition accomplished any of the things claimed for it, or had even made a decent showing, I would not stand here today urging this senate not to commit the folly of fastening upon this state a piece of emotional legislation that we know from the experience of other states not only does not promote the cause of temperance but always has and always will have a tendency from its lack of enforcement to create a disregard for other laws. Hon. Chas, F. Libby, one of the leading lawyers of Maine, says: "It has bred hypocrisy, encouraged perjury in our courts, led to corruption of our officials, given prominence in public life to a poor set of politicians, has destroyed the frankness of statesmen, that enobles men in other states, and has not been effective." Legislation having for its object the correction of human nature is bound to be a failure. No man or set of men have the right to say what another shall eat, drink or wear, so long as he does not infringe upon the rights of his fellow man. If you reply that we already prohibit the sale and use of some drugs I shall reply that I find no warrant in the Holy Writ for their use and I do for the use of liquors. I will say to you that the use and abuse of liquors and the use of drugs in their effect upon the human system are as far apart as the poles. I will say to you that one of the worst evils of prohibition is that it tends to drive men from the use of the milder stimulants to the use of the stronger. Prohibition always lessens the consumption of beers and wines and increases the consumption of whiskey, rum, gin and drugs. Prohibition causes to be sold as whiskey, gin and rum a substitute for the pure distilled liquor made from raw alcohol, tobacco, drugs and rain water that produces a wonderful jag on short notice. Men would class me as a fool should I assert that baking powder containing a large percentage of alum and ammonia was as harmless as one made from pure cream of tartar and soda, still insist that whiskey is whiskey whether made in a distillery or in the kitchen of some man who always votes the prohibition ticket. Now, my prohibition friends, do not think that I am accusing the Prohibition Party of making whiskey. Be sure and get the distinction: I said by men who always vote the prohibition ticket. That the illicit liquor sellers always work with the prohibitionists against a return to high license in every state where prohibitory laws have been tried is a fact which the most fanatical prohibitionist cannot dispute. Why they do this is not hard to understand. Take the city of Bangor, Maine, after fifty-seven years of prohibition. I use the city of Bangor not because it is the worst on earth, but because I happen to know more about it from personal observation. It has today upwards of fifty blind pigs. This is a city of only 22,000. Should the state return to high license every one of these men would be forced out of business, since the number of saloons would decrease from fifty to perhaps twenty, and the men who now run the dives would not stand one chance in a hundred of obtaining a license under a rational license system, and they know it, hence on election days they advocate prohibition with a whiskey laden breath, clasp hands with their partners in crime, the prohibition fanatics, vote the prohibition ticket, and wink the other eye. So notorious was this alliance in Vermont in the campaign for a return to the license system in 1903 that the Boston Globe of February 5th said: "In the Vermont contest the humorous feature of the situation is, that the liquor men are not happy, notwithstanding what might naturally be supposed to be their triumph. They conceive that under prohibition they can carry on a liquor business at much less expense than under the newly-enacted license system. This is in itself a very significant comment on the folly of prohibition. It is none too soon that the people have experienced an awakening." In support of my two contentions: 1st: That prohibition does not prohibit. 2d: That one man has no right to say what another shall eat, drink or wear, I am going to read you a few quotations from some of our leading statesmen and some of our most renowned ministers of the gospel. THOMAS JEFFERSON: "Our legislators are not sufficiently apprised of the rightful limits of their power; their true office is to declare and enforce only our natural rights and duties, and take none of them from us." ABRAHAM LINCOLN; "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles on which our government was founded. I have always been found laboring to protect the weaker classes from the stronger, and I can never give my consent to such a law as you propose to enact. Until my tongue shall be silenced in death, I will continue to fight for the rights of men." He, according to the gentleman from Kitsap, stood for state wide booze. HORATIO SEYMOUR: "I owe it to the subject and to the friends of the measure to add the expression of my belief that intemperance can not be extirpated by prohibitory laws; they are not consistent with sound principles of legislation. Like decrees to regulate religious creeds, or forms of worship, they provoke resistance where they are designed to force obedience." U. S. GRANT: "I know from my own experience from when I was at West Point the fact that tobacco in every form was prohibited, and the mere possession of the weed, severely punished, made a majority of the cadets, myself included, try to acquire the habit of using it." SAM HOUSTON: "Before the evils of intemperance can be suppressed by legislative enactments natural laws must be repealed. As long as the soil produces fruit and grain, ardent spirits will be manufactured and used as a beverage. To declare it to be a crime to manufacture and drink wine in moderation would, in effect, accuse Christ and the Holy Apostles of sinful practice. The first miracle of our Blessed Savior was the manufacture of wine out of water." SENATOR SHERMAN: "The contest for ages has shown that the attempt to regulate the appetite of people can not be successful. The sooner any community appreciates that the better, and no party can carry that load on its shoulders and succeed very long. We have got to get away from such nonsense." THOMAS F. BAYARD: "So far as my experience goes, a well regulated system of license whereby revenue is largely brought into the public treasury, coupled with severe penalties for illicit sales, has provided the most efficient check upon the abuse of the liquor traffic. In many respects the question is a sumptuary one, the laws attempting to establish sumptuary regulations become inquisitorial and impossible of execution, so that in those communities of this country where they have been enacted they have either aggravated the evil where intended to prevent, or fallen into contempt and uselessness, and have been repealed." DAN VOORHEES: "The Holy Scripture and the history of the church are alike without warrant for the prohibitionists. And looking to the history of civilization from the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the present hour, where can a nation be found of strength and progress whose people could not be trusted to regulate their personal daily habits for themselves?" LORD SALISBURY. "You wish to prevent a certain number of people from getting drunk. Therefore, you ask us to prevent four, five or six times as many, who are sober consumers, from having an opportunity of free indulgence of which they have a right. Why are we to punish the innocent in place of the guilty? The rich who possess or can possess wine cellars are free from the attacks of the prohibition reformers. It is the poor, the working people, that the law inconveniences. This kind of legislation is absolutely of a class character." GAIL, HAMILTON: Writing of prohibition in Maine, says in the North American Review: "The actual result is that liquor is sold to all who wish to obtain it in nearly every town in the state. Enforcement of the prohibition law seems to have but little effect. For the last six years the city of Bangor has practically had free rum. In more than one hundred places liquor is sold, and no attempt is made to enforce the law. In Bath, Lewiston, Augusta and other cities no real difficulty is experienced in procuring liquors. In Portland enforcement of the law has been faithfully attempted, yet the liquor traffic flourishes for all classes from the highest to the lowest." THADDEUS STEVENS: "I should gge glad if legislation could cure intemperance, but I have seen it tried and tried in vain. I do not believe that sumptuary laws ever had any effect to stop abuses in any country. When I was a young man I was in the state legislature, and moved that the sale of liquor be prohibited in my district, and the motion carried. I did not find that I thereby made one drunkard the less—they would only drink the more when they had a chance. There is no other way than moral suasion for the reformation of the world on the subject of drunkenness." FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1909 COL. GEORGE E. WARING: "If anything has been proved by a third of a century of prohibition it is that it does not prohibit. It prevents the regulation of the liquor traffic and the collection of public revenue. It does not prevent the excessive and demoralizing use of liquor in open and exultant violation of the law. No fair view can be taken of the situation without bearing in mind that this is a land of absolute religious freedom; that one has as much legal right to believe one thing as another or to believe nothing. The church may persuade a man; it can not force him." DR. REID, EDITOR OF THE 'LANCET': "Teetotalers make more drunkkinds than they redeem. Wherever they succeed in securing coercive legislation against alcohol, they swell the tide of nebriety. Among the southern nations of the world, where alcohol is found as one of the everyday beverages of the people, excessive drinking and consequent drunkenness are reduced to a minimum. London, Chicago and New York, which are without prohibition, have respectively only 7, 13 and 23 drunkkinds per 1,000, while Portland, Maine, the classic prohibition state, has 42." REV. LYMAN ABBOTT: "This" (prohibition) "was not the method of Jesus. He lived in an age of total abstinence societies and did not join them. He emphasized the distinction between his method and that of John the Baptist, by saying that John came neither eating or drinking; the son of man came eating and drinking. He condemned drunkenness, but never in a single instance lifted up his voice in condemnation of drinking. On the contrary, he commenced His public ministry by making, as a miracle, wine in considerable quantity, and of fine quality, and this apparently only to add to the joyous festivities of a wedding. He apparently used wine customarily, if not habitually, and before all the world; and he left as a legacy and example for His followers a sacred use of wine in the most solemn service of His church." REVEREND GEO. ELIOT COOLEY: (Before the Methodist Conference at Lyndville, April 20, 1901) "Good men and sincere men can and do differ honestly in respect to the results of this law. I stand unqualifiedly on the ground that temperance is a principle of life to which all individuals are amenable. We are coming to see that it is impossible to bring in the kingdom of God by legislation; yet as earnest men we are anxious to determine upon the best method of dealing with the intemperance evil. May it not be possible that, in the effort to prevent this evil of intemperance by a State prohibitory law, we are fostering greater and more insidious evils? Respects for the courts has been undermined by the wholesale disregard for law. Confidence in judicial processes has been destroyed by so many miscarriages of justice, flie oath has been invalidated and perjury promoted by the effort to enforce a law which many feel under no obligation to observe. "The condition of things thus brought about ought to be appalling to the teacher of morals, and the advocates of law and order. Who is not aware of the great injury done to organized society by these persistent and insidious efforts to subvert the law? It tends to make officials two-faced, legislators timid and insincere, candidates for office dissummating, and when elected, unfaithful and hypocritical. The effect of this law has been to rear a class of men who shamelessly pay fines and bribes and hush money in order to evade its operation, and another class which will just as shamelessly accept this corrupted money. "I take issue emphatically and sincerely with those who would maintain and enforce a state prohibitory law." "Few persons, I suppose, with any knowledge of its actual working, will deny that the law as it exists, is invested with an amount of hypocrisy on the part of the buyers, sellers and officials. May not this hypocrisy, being a deeper and more wide spreading evil, be a greater evil than the intemperance which it is sought to check? "Once more; our existing prohibitory law I consider foolish and mischievous, because it is largely an attempt on the part of one set of people to legislate for another set of people. I recognize to the full the evils of intemperance, but I can not think that the practical experience of Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine, is in favor of a state prohibitory law." DR. LEONARD WHITTINGTON: "I bear my solemn testimony, and say that though I have seen frequent attempts, I never knew of any good to come from such legislation. I have seen men exasperated by it, but never reformed. So it has ever been, and so it will ever be, until nature itself is changed. I was in Connecticut when attempts were made to enforce such a law. I saw hypocrisy, power, passion, hautiness, indignation, force, resistance to commands, threats, cursing; but I saw no promotion of meekness among Christians or repentance among sinners. The contest was long and the fruits were bitter. Long did it take to teach the sober part of the community a simple truth." DR. HOWARD CROSBY; 'Prohibition throws wide open the flood gates of vice. An inoperative law FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1909. is no law at all. There is the unlicensed vice which feels it temporary freedom and is prepared to make the most of it. Is prohibition inoperative? The statistics show that it is. There is no prohibition in Maine. There never was in any state that adopted it. The main effects of prohibition where tried, are poor liquor, large prices for it, an increase of inmates of lunatic asylums, and a system of semi-thievery, and deliberate falsehood on the part of the inhabitants and transients, which unfits them for prayer and church-going." REV. M. J. SAVAGE. "I believe the common talk that traces all crime, or nearly all, to drink is false and misleading. Is there no crime in Mohammedan lands? The Turks are not quite pattern angles. Is Spain above the level of the rest of Europe? And yet it is almost a model in the matter of temperance. A little more drunkenness, a little less of the moral temperance that makes the bull fight a national pastime might even improve them. Scotland is many times more drunken than Spain but which is the better people?" FRANCIS MURPHY, Temperance Worker. "We are apt to get dictatorial when we save the people. It isn't right. It is well to be humble. I know of nothing that can save you but mercy. Just remember that, and that I am not finding fault with any other method of saving, but officers cannot reach the appetite. The legislature cannot control a man's appetite. While it is well to undertake to do certain things by acts of the legislature, there are many things that the legislature can not do, and its' no use to try. The law does not save a man. If Moses could have saved by law, he would have been the Christ and there would have been no need for another Savior. Now remember that Christ never went after a man with the city marshal, but with the grace of God. You must have the grace of God and the love of your kind in your hearts. I am not a prohibitionist, a local-optionist, or a high license man. I do not meddle in politics, but simply believe in saving men by love." THE WORST RUM HOLES. (The Rev. Tranford Nightingale.) "The worst rum holes are men's mouths. So long as these holes are open to receive it, rum will find its way into them. Can these holes be closed to rum by prohibition? No. It can be done only by convincing and persuading their owners to do it of their own free will. That was the method of Father Matthew, the method by which he won the grandest success the temperance cause has yet gained." REV. THOS. J. CONATY. "I have seen the prohibition principle in our local laws, and my experience of increased haunts of vice and increased difficulties for temperance work have led me to despise the farce of attempting morality by law. These are some of the reasons that urge me, a total abstainer, to add my protest against placing in our constitution a law which appears to be bad in morals and impracticable in politics." (Rev. Thomas Conaty, President of the Catholic Abstinence Society). THE PORTLAND HERALD (Prohib.): "Crime is alarmingly prevalent. Murders have continually increased year by year. Our jails and prisons are unpleasantly full. Robberies and burglaries are occurring in all directions. Crime of all kinds is increasing. One hundred and twenty-seven saloons in Bangor! And forty-five in Lewiston!!! Is it any wonder that crime is increasing? Are our citizens less law-abiding than western people? Is public sentiment at a lower ebb in the good old state of Maine than it is in a western state where people from all countries congregate? Wouldn't it be well for the Maine legislature to appoint an investigating committee to ascertain why it is that the prohibitory laws can not be enforced in Maine?" THE OREGONIAN: "Prohibition is intolerance, and by its intolerance it destroys itself. A drug clerk in Wichita, Kansas, has been sentenced to seventeen years and four months' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $20,800 for having violated the liquor law of that state. The New York Times says: 'such a sentence is monstrous. It is a disgrace to the state and to its judiciary. A community in which a cumulative penalty so cruel and unusual can be imposed without protest or unsuccessful appeal can hardly be called civilized.' But this is exactly in accord with the spirit of prohibition, which is the very essence of fanatical intolerance. It is the very same spirit that in former centuries put men and women to torture because they did not worship God according to formula, or became hypocrites in the name of the Gospel." Advocates of prohibition will tell you that the law has been ineffective only because no effort has been made to enforce it. Let us look at Vermont under prohibition and see how much truth there is in this contention: In the celebrated O'Neil case, in 1882, imprisonment for nearly 100 years was imposed for selling liquors. In many cases men were sent to prison for vlo- lating this law for longer periods than they could live. RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY DENIED. The prohibitory law declared any place wheer liquor was kept or sold to be a nuisance, and then invoked the jurisdiction of the chancery courts to enjoin such nuisance, and thus the right of trial by jury was denied, and the constitutional right nullified. Under what was called "The Disclosure" the fundamental principle that no man shall be bound to give evidence against himself was violated. In the struggle to make the law more effective, essential principles of American government were ignored. It was decreed that the home, baggage, and even the person of any citizen, sojourner or traveler in the state could be searched for liquors without warrant and on mere suspicion. In such search any liquor found either on the person or elsewhere, no matter for what purpose intended, was confiscated, and the person in whose possession it was found arrested and held guilty of violating the prohibitory law, unless he could prove the right to have the liquor in his possession. Under this law, no visitor to the state could carry his own liquors for strictly personal use. Anyone so inclined could stop any person on the highway, search his person and baggage without warrant, and sieve any liquors that might be found in his possession. The law instead of following the ordinary rule which considers every man innocent until he is proven guilty, held those, in whose possession liquor was found, to be guilty until they proved themselves innocent. After fifty years of trial and after committing thousands of crimes in the name of prohibition, Vermont finally awoke to the fact that immorality had steadily increased. So had intemperance and contempt for law. The jails of the state were full. The report of the United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue showed one license to sell liquor to every 120 voters in the state, a number greater than the average in the license states. Puritan Vermont no longer ago than 1903 repealed a law because impossible to enforce that some misguided people are trying today to foist on Cosmopolitan Washington. New Hampshire also tried prohibition for half a century. Legislative ingenuity was taxed to the utmost to devise means for its enforcement. Extraordinary, inquisitorial and tyrannical laws were enacted and vindictive punishments decreed, and in New Hampshire, as in every other state where it has been tried, prohibition was a failure. Here also arrayed against the real friends of temperance, were the prohibitionists, the illicit sellers of liquors and a class of lawyers who profited by defending those engaged in the business. Nothwithstanding this unholy alliance a license bill passed the lower house on March 18, 1903, by a vote of two to one; a few days later it passed the senate by a vote of three to one and was signed by the Governor March 27th, 1903, and New Hampshire had taken her place among the states having rational laws for the regulation of the liquor traffic. A common assertion made by the Anti-Saloon League apostles when working on the emotions of the people is that the licensed saloon is responsible for most of our poverty. I can only go into this subject briefly. Take the New England states as an example. Bear in mind that the larger cities of New England are in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have the greater rural population. Bear in mind also that from these conditions Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut should have the greater proportion of paupers. Take the United States census report for 1890 and you will find that the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont had fourteen per cent. more paupers in proportion to the population than the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. When you consider that for nearly forty years prior to 1890 Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont had prohibition and the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut weer license states, that argument in favor of prohibition is exploded. One more example: Kansas and Nebraska have the same kind of people, presumably possessing the same habits; they have the same climatic conditions; the soil of one is much like the soil of the other. Here, too, is a fair comparison: Kansas has 416 paupers for each million of population, while Nebraska has 275 for each million. This argument cannot be answered by accusing the Senator from Thurston of favoring statewide booze. "Don't license the sale of liquors and crime will cease," is another slogan of the Anti-Saloon League. This is a phrase that rolls glibly under the tongue and sounds well, but it is not true. The facts are just the opposite. Under prohibition statistics show crime to have steadily increased. In Maine in the proportion of four to one, in New Hampshire in proportion of eight to one, and in Vermont in the proportion of two to one. Crime has also increased under prohibition in Iowa and Kansas. This is history, notwithstanding the fact that the Hon. Miles Poindexter in his speech before the House Judiciary Committee made much of the fact that all crime originated in the licensed saloon. I have the annual reports of the city of Bangor, Maine, for the years 1906 and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 1907. The report for the year 1906 shows 2385 arrests for drunkenness. Keep in mind the fact that the city of Bangor, Maine, is a city of only 22,000 population. Compare this with the city of Seattle. Surely our reform friends won't think this comparison unfair after what they have already said about Seattle on this floor. During the year 1906, with a population of 180,000, or more than eight times the population of Bangor, Maine, Seattle had 2066 arrests for drunkenness, or 321 fewer arrests in wide-open Seattle than in prohibition Bangor. The year 1907 shows 2513 arrests in Bangor for drunkenness and 3606 in Seattle, to carry out the proportion, Seattle should have 25,130 arrests, or Bangor only 361. A fair comparison, if both were in prohibition states, or both in wide-open states. What is to be said when you consider that Bangor is a city in the banner prohibition state of the Union? In Seattle, during 1906, one arrest for every 87 of population. (180,000.) In Bangor, during 1906, one arrest for every 9 of population. In Seattle, during 1907, one arrest for every 55 of population (200,000). In Bangor, during 1907, one arrest for every 9 of population. In the prohibition state of Kansas there is one retail liquor dealer for every 366 of population, while in license Massachusetts there is only one retail liquor dealer for every 525, and the state of Washington, one for each 490. The same thing has been true in every state that has tried prohibition. If prohibition in any degree is an aid to temperance, why in the name of common sense do not its advocates cite us some facts and figures in support of their contention? Why, I ask, Mr. President, do they always denounce the evils of intemperance, a subject on which we are all agreed? Why do they resort to a lot of cheap clap trap thou the demon rum? Why become irrational and hysterical on a subject over which there is no contentino? Why attempt to browbeat, intimidate and Sundayay members of the legislature on this question? There is but one answer to all of these questions: The advocates of prohibition in the light of history can produce no other kind of argument. They dare not tell you that of the eighteen states where prohibition was adopted between 1846 and 1906, fifteen of them have returned to the license system, or, as our dear friends the reformers would say, the wide open policy. Will any man on the floor of this senate have the harrhood to say that five of the six New England states were in favor of intemperance when they voted down prohibition and returned to the license system? Remember the sober, sensible, intelligent citizenship of these states were opposed in their fight for a return to the license system by dive keepers as well as by the prohibition fanacts; yet they won. When I have concluded my remarks, the gentlemen on the other side will pursue the time honored custom of the advocates of prohibition. My ears will be assailed with such remarks as "We have listened with patience to the rambling remarks of the Senator from Thurston in defense of booze and the saloon element;" or some gentleman will say, "I am surprised that the Senator from Thurston should have the temerity to stand on this floor and advocate inter-merance," or, again, those who stand as I do on this question may be called, as we have been before, the saloon element. We will be classed as reactionaries, and those men advocating a blue law that has been repealed in five of the six New England states will be spoken of in some of the newspapers as the progressive members of the senate. The fact that I have stated that on the evils of intemperance I am in full accord with the gentlemen on the other side will make no difference to them, or to the people they so ably represent,—the prohibition fanatic. Because I do not agree with them as to the remedy I am without the pale. I will be charged with aiding the forces of vice and intemperance in their fight against morality and religion. The fact that the teachings of Christ, whom they all pretend to worship, contains no warrant for prohibition will make no difference to the fanatic. The fact that I have quoted from some of our greatest statesmen condemning this kind of legislation; the fact that I have called attention to the writing and speeches of many eminent clergymen,—men, who from personal observation have seen the evils of prohibition; men who themselves are among the most sincere temperance workers on earth, will make no difference. These facts, I say to you, Mr. President, will avail nothing with the Anti-Saloon League reformer or his dupe, the prohibition fanatic. They must, however, have some weight with the members of this Senate. These are facts that cannot be brushed aside by no stronger argument than that the Senator from Thurston has a brewery in his district. Neither can they be brushed aside by the cheap insinulation that the Senator from Thurston wears the brewery's collar. To the man who either has that thought in his mind or those words in his mouth I have one thing to say: Find me the man or set of men who ever made the Senator from Thurston kneel in the dust while they riveted around his neck the collar of any organization, aggregation or individual. Every speech made by a prohibitionist, every article written by one, will call A. S. RUTH A. S. RUTH Who Lead the Anti-Local Option Forces in the Debate. your attention to the state of Maine as the banner prohibition state and I expect it is. If it is, God help the rest. I know a little of the state of Maine, as I was born there, and nearly every relative I have on earth lives there today. Maine has had prohibition for fifty-seven years, on the statute books. Four years ago Maine passed what is known as the Sturgis law. In effect, this law makes the Governor of Maine Grand High Sheriff of the entire state with power to appoint any number of deputies for the purpose of enforcing the prohibitory laws. Gov. Cobb has been an advocate of the law and himself stood for strict enforcement. What did Gov. Cobb accomplish? He spent $75,000 of the taxpayers' money for one thing. He was elected by a majority of 27,000 four years ago and reelected by the narrow margin of 7,000 two years ago, and his political doom is sealed,—he has no future. Two years ago the legislature repealed the Sturgis law,—Gov. Cobb vetoed the repeal bill. The legislature of Maine, now in session, will repeal it again and the present Gov. Fernald will sign the repeal bill, and Maine will have returned from the cloaked hypocrisy of the past four years to the old system of open hypocrisy. The net results in Maine—of four years' enforcement has been to drive the vice of illicit liquor selling into the very worst class of dives. The man who says that prohibition can be enforced after Maine's experience of the past four years, simply does not know anything of the facts or his brain is distorted. My own observation within the past two months in Maine was that you could find a fairly good grade of whiskey in nearly every home; you could find the best grades of whiskey in every club, and the worst grade of whiskey ever known on sale everywhere. To get it one only needs to know the ropes and unless one is deaf, dumb, blind and crippled the ropes are easily found. If you travel in the smoking car of any train in Maine I will guarantee you will see more men drinking from bottles than you will in Washington. Maine faces the bitter, humiliating fact that she cannot rid herself of the curse of prohibition because the illicit liquor sellers working with the prohibition fanatic, both egged on by a class of lawyers who make their living from the illicit liquor traffic, are too strong for the sober, intelligent, broad-minded citizenship of the state to combat, handicapped as they are by having the prohibitory law in the constitution. Knowing as I do that any boy with the price can get whiskey of the worst kind at any time under prohibition,—the cry of save the boys by voting for prohibition does not appeal to me. Knowing as I do that prohibition does not help the cause of temperance and that it does breed hypocrisy, lying, deceit and a disregard for all laws, I am opposed to it in any form. The great prohibition contortionist brought by our friends from Spokane to intimidate the legislature into passing this prohibition measure, stated that 75 per cent. of insanity was caused by the use of liquors. Every man on the floor of this senate knows what is the first and greatest cause of insanity, and it is not intemperance. The second largest factor causing insanity is "emotional religion"; that is, religion as taught by the Holy Rollers, Billy Sundays and that lik. The third largest cause of insanity is intemperance. The truth is bad enough; why make it worse? That the use of liquor is the cause of all immorality is another fallacy easily exploded. The Turks do not drink at all, and yet who will claim that as a nation they are more moral than the people of the United States, England or Germany? That certain human inclinations cannot be prohibited by law, all history proves. The Jews tried prohibition on the Christians for a long time; later, the Christians became so strong that they not only attempted to enforce it against the Jews, but included all religions other than their own. Calvinism was prohibited and John fled to Geneva to save his life. Once firmly in control of Geneva, Calvin became a pronounced prohibitionist. Prohibitory laws endangered Martin Lu- GAP ther's life and made him leave nome never to return. Prohibition, as applied to religious belief, drove the Pilgrim Fathers from England. They in turn lost no time in establishing in this country the same intolerable conditions and burned witches galore. Prohibition crucified the Savior and built the fires of the Inquisition. It won't work—it never did. So long as man loves liberty and maintains mental independence he will eat, drink and think as he pleases, regardless of prohibition in every phase. God made a perfect world, but he peopled it with very imperfect men and women. For some reason he implanted in the brain of every man, of every race, that has ever dominated the affairs of this world, a disposition to erase and to get if possible the things he is forbidden to have. Our first ancestor set the example. You can only do harm by passing a law that forces every man who craves or wants a stimulant, even if he only wants a mild one, to drink Jamaica Ginger, flavoring extracts, patent medicines or prohibition whiskey. If you are inclined to wonder at where the funds come from, to conduct these expensive prohibition campaigns, just consider the millions made each year from the sale of bitters and other patent medicines containing from 14 to 30 per cent, alcohol, and remember that their sale increases four-fold under prohibition and you'll be right close to one set of people who can afford an almighty big campaign contribution. We hear much about the prohibition wave that is sweeping across the country. Did you ever stop to think that for years New England was the favorite pasture land of the Dotys, Raymonds, Cherringtons and that ilk; don't you know that today in New England the pasture is limited and the grass mighty short for these cattle? Take away Othello's occupation and in this day and age he moves, starved out of New England. They have invaded the West and South; like the rest of us they must live, to live they must agitate, to get funds upon which to agitate, they must make a showing. Must we take the word of these self-appointed judges of what is right and what is best for the welfare of the state we are here to represent? Are we doing our duty as men when we let them crowd down our throats a law that all history has proven bad in morals and impossible in politics? I would count myself a coward; I would forfeit my own self-respect, had I done less than I have to oppose the passage of this bill. I have been told by some of my good friends that in fighting this bill I was making a political mistake; that is possibly true. When the day comes that I must vote for a bill that I believe to be as vicious in its effects as this one in order to be successful politically, then I must die politically. But I give you notice here and now that I'll die fighting. Let us not be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by threats of political destruction to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for King County.

The management say that the play is not immoral and that it is a work of art. Furthermore, that they believe the public will view the production as an artistic work of art. True art is a lovely thing, but one has to be educated along certain lines to appreciate some phazes of it. To one who has an exceeding broad conception of the artistic in detail, 'Salome' may appeal as its supporters claim for it, but to the masses a spade is a spade, and not a garden utensil. Hence the atmosphere created for such persons witnessing the play, would be any but a desirable one. The question then is, why put on the American stage doubtful, suggestive, plays, when there is a superabundence of wholesome ones to be had? THE GUILLOTINE has again made its appearance in France. Capital punishment has been resumed and so this implement of death now awakens new curiosity. The last victim condemned to death by the dreaded "widow" was a man named Danvers. The scenes were extraordinary. Parisians thronged the place of execution, men and women masked, and in fancy dress, paraded the stseets. Comic songs and uproarious choruses were sung under the condemned man's window, while the executioner was an object of frenzled ovations when ever he left the privacy of his hotel. There is a growing feeling against such demonstrations and it is thought that the authorities will soon greatly limit the number of spectators or make the executions altogether private. HOLLAND'S QUEEN expects a visit from the stork bearing a prospective heir to the throne, and as the time of the happy event draws near, excitement runs wild. From all parts of that country presents have poured in until there is nothing for a baby's or a small child's for that matter, comfort or amusement that has not been supplied and then duplicated. The queen, in keeping with her kind heartedness, wishes that a great part of the sums collected be used in some charitable institution. Cantatas are being composed, singing classes are practicing and many other plans are in contemplation to celebrate the consumption of Holland's wishes. HANGMAN'S DAY in Louisiana was last Friday February 5th. Eight men, the largest number in many years, were executed. They came from different parishes. All of the condemned men were Negroes. Only one had been charged with assault. The fact that the Negroes had a trial at all in Louisiana, however much of a pretense it might have been, shows that there is a slowly growing feeling in even that part of the country towards letting the law take its rightful place. "AT BIRTH a child begins to live and not before." is the decision put on record in St. Louis by Circuit Court Judge Williams. The decision was forthcoming when one C. H. Buel and wife claimed damages from the street car company for the death of their four months old boy, whom they claimed died from the results of an accident which occurred before he was born. The Judge quoted Genesis 2nd chp. 7th v., and decided that the child in question, was not a person at the time of his mother's accident five months prior to birth. It is indeed gratifying to learn just when a baby does become a person, and if someone will designate just when a person becomes a baby, it will be of much benefit to many grown ups, or at least to the persons who daily meet them in the business world. "BIG TIM" SULLIVAN has made his annual gift of shoes and socks to New York's Bowery wanderers. Some 5,000 were shod. This cost in the neighborhood of $6,000. Senator Sullivan, however, did not make a personal appearance at the center of distribution. The lame the blind and the aged were given the preference and the rank and file were supplied so long as the leather prizes held out. Some impostors and some who felt that they or their family needed half a dollar or a meagre quarter of a dollar more than a good pair of shoes, quickly sold to the many men waiting around the corner, who would just as soon have trafficked in money stolen from dead men's eyes. HELL AND DAMNATION ideas were given credit for much opposition to crematories for treating the bodies of the dead, by the late James B. Brown, promoter of the same. The public agrees that the present system is unsanitary. It agrees that cremeties often fall into disrepair. Many admit that the process of cremation is but the removing of water and some gases from the body. Yet few wish their loved ones cremated. However, the opinion, that cremation is only another "sleeping American reform," is wide spread if not general. KNOX IN MUCH DEMAND. That United States Senator Philander C. Knox is a most estimable public servant is manifest in the desire of President-elect Taft's insistency of him leaving the senate and becoming a member of his cabinet—Secretary of State—and the reluctance with which the senate gives him up. Senator Knox will be a fitting successor to Secretary Root, who has guided the ship of state well under the Roosevelt administration. Senator Knox has been in the public eye for a great many years, and few men have run the gauntlet of public criticism without having his official ermine smirched so well as he and as secretary of state a brilliant success is predicted for him. LIBERIA NEEDS ASSISTANCE. Prof. Booker T. Washington is of the opinion that the United States should interfere in the affairs of the republic of Liberia and save it from going to pieces. He doubtless has looked carefully into the situation and knows whereof he speaks and is therefore of the opinion that there is still hope of success. The judgment of no man in the whole world stands higher in the minds of the people all over the civilized world than that of Prof. Washington, and if he honestly recommends that the United States extend a protecting hand to that republic we believe it should be done. Some time ago Secretary Elihu Root spoke along similar lines, and we do not know of two more eminent authorities than Mr. Washington and Mr. Root. IS LIBERIA GOING TO PIECES? Should the United States assume a direct protectorate over Liberia, is a very much discussed question just now. If after all these years this republic is now tottering to its fall from "dry rot" as it was instead of from a foreign foe, then it seems that it's not in the books for it to do anything but to be an utter failure. If the United States should throw a protecting arm around it nothing more than a prolongation of a painful existence would be the result, and the sooner it is permitted to fall of its own weight the sooner will that unhappy republic and likewise its sponsors be out of trouble. This is said taking it for granted that, it is a fact the Republic of Liberia is about to go to pieces on account of internal broils. ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO. Arizona and New Mexico, the two territories that have so long fought for separate statehood, are about to realize their long cherished hope, as both branches of Congress have passed an enabling act to that effect. In admitting the territory of Arizona it has been suggested that the name be changed to that of Lincoln, which would be a fitting statutory commemoration to the memory of the great and good Abraham Lincoln, the savior of his country. Uncle Sam's original territories are rapidly passing into history, Alaska only remaining to be admitted. In the very near future the newly acquired insular possessions of the United States will be shaped into territorial forms of government, which in the course of time will be admitted as states of this union. CHIEF GERONIMO DEAD. In the passing of Goronimo, the famous Indian chief who gave the United States government so much worry before he was finally captured by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the last one of the remarkable Indian leaders of this country has gone to the "happy hunting grounds." Every vestige of the North American Indian, who, perhaps for centuries, held undisputed sway over this entire continent, has not been completely wiped out nor is the race exactly extinct, but both are so near it that long ere the present PROBATE NOTICE IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for the County of King.

Nations in the course of events have flourished and faded and why not the Indian? TWO GREAT MEN'S MEMORY. Last Friday every nook and corner of the civilized sections of the United States paid homage to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, the savior of his country, the occasion being the one-hundredth anniversary of his birth. Next Monday the entire nation will pay homage to the memory of George Washington, the father of his country, the occasion being his regular birthday anniversary. The days on which both of these great American luminaries first saw the light have been made national holidays, thus perpetuating their memories so long as this government of ours shall stand. ARE GREAT CORPORATIONS ENEMIES? How strangely remarkable that the great interests of this country are now being viewed by the great mass of citizens from Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in the light of public enemies rather than benefactors as they should be and verily are if those at the heads of those interests are honest patriotic citizens. The commercial interests of this country cannot continue to flourish as in the past if they are to be antagonized by the masses as at present. Recently in a legislative body it leaked out that a corporation lawyer drew a certain bill, which was the signal for its immediate indefinite postponement, though it was admittedly a meritorious measure. Is it a fact that attorneys for corporations are public enemies? CONGRESS IN EXTRA SESSION. When William Howard Taft will have become president of the United States he has authorized the statement that he will cal Congress in extra session March 15th or eleven days after he has been inaugurated. It will be remembered that as soon as the lamented McKinley had been inaugurated president he called Congress together for an extra session to consider the financial situation despite the fact he had been elected on the tariff issue. Taft, who has just bee selected president on the financial question, is to have an extra session of Congress to consider the tariff question. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1909.
