The ship War Hawk, Capt. Cal

Providentialy, just as the War Hawk
had completed her cargo, the main
shaft connecting with the " hawking
machine" gave way in two places,
causing the mill to shut down until
the broken shaft could be replaced
with heavier and more substantial
one.
We had the pleasure Of listening
to very interesting political ad'

Messrs. Kuhn, Miller, and Tucker,

their own behalf as candidates for
Office. Their success or defeat will
be decided ere this is set in type.

CONSTITUTIONAL PR0HlsIrI0N.

Olympia "Standard "
Ever since the first agitation of
the temperance question in this
country, which may be forty or fifty
years ago, an abundance of evidence
shows that the people, as mass, are
opposed to the liquor traffic. We
believe, if at this time, the question
Of license or no license were candi-
dly put to the people of every State
and Territory in the Union, there
would be a respectable majority
against the granting Of licenses for
selling intoxicating drinks. We are
unwise in Judging the sentiments Of
the people at large by the results oh
tanned at precinct elections, or the
vote of even larger districts. The
popular vote is the only true criter.
ion by which we can be guided, or
to which we must look to predicate
the probabilities of the future Of the
temperance question. Now we be
lieve, if the question of license, or
some form of a loc option law,
could be brought simultaneously be.
fore the people of the United States,
the majesty of sound morality and
good order would assert itself in an
Overwhelming vote on the side OF
strictly temperance principles. In
other words, the people would rise
up in the sovereignty Of their might
and say" No license for u.s." But
let US see what has already been done
in this direction, and then we may
Judge the future by the experience
of the past. In lS47, the question
of prohibition was submitted to the
people Of Vermont and a majority
of 1000 in favor of prohibition was
the result. A similar result was
again obtained in 1850. The same
question, in all its bearings, has been
submitted to the people of Maine, a
rumber of times and always with a
result largely on the side Of temper
ance. In 1858, the question was de.
cided by the ballot-box in Wiscon
sin and majority of 5000 counted
in favor of prohibition, even al
though, as is we'll known, this State
stands second as to its percentage of
foreign citizenship. In 1874, a ma
iority of 1000 was obtained in Ohio
in favor Of "no license" In the
State of New York, the question
was submitted, in 1916, to the voters
of 400 towns, when, as result, it
was found that 656 of those towns
were against the sale of liquors in
any manner whatever. A popular
vote being taken in the same State,
resulted in majority of over $4,000
in favor of no license law. Now
we think that quite enough has been
said to show fairly and conclusively
that the "vox popull" is substan-
tally and decidedly against the Ii
quor traffic. 1t has often been said
that all great moral reforms have
succeeded only in proportion as they
were carried on by or through strictly
organized effort. We believe this is
the true method of doing all things
that involve the common interests of
the people. Temperance principles
most assuredly involve the dearest
rights and interests of the people of
the United States, and hence, we be-
lieve, as has been already intimated,
that the reformatory effort should be
made by the people themselves.
This is just the kind of organized eff
fort that must be brought to bear if
grand results of national character

Politics in Oregon have been at

Now that our friend Mr.. B. S. Mil

then, we believe that he will be a
more thorough and efficient officer
during the coming two years than he
has been in the past--for the simple
reason that his experiences in letting
prisoners get away have taught him
TO be more vigilant in discharging
his dLties. We are sorry that Mr..
Drummond was not elected, because
he was the regular Republican nom
inee and there was no good reason
for scratching his name from the
ticket TO insert Miller's. We be-
lieve he would have been an excel
'eat officer; but he that as it may,
the people have made their choice
and that ends the matter. The
causes which produced the result
were various. There was good
deal of sympathy with Mr.. Miller be-
cause he had discharged the MOST Of
his duties well, and because his mis-
fortunes with prisoners caused him
to spend hundreds Of dollars of his
own money in trying to recapture-
the Office being really an expense to
him if anything. Then again, he

CHARLESTON, S. G., July 25.-The emigrant
bark Azor, which left this port on last Easter
Sunday for Monrovia with three hundred
and fifty Exodists arrived here yesterday,
having made the return trip from Monrovia
in thirty-six da"s. She brought special
correspondent and sixteen colored passen-
gers, who are returning from the Promised
Land" and are bound for Mississippi, from
which State they emigrated to Liberia some
years ago.
DR.. Williams havingexplored the country
around Monrova, and seen emigrants safely
housed, returned to Charleston, and with
the facts in his possession as a lever, he
sought to move the Exodus Association
into position where the responsibility of
ihe leading officers shall not only be felt
but acted upon. This is due to the colored
people who are too timid to act for them
selves and submit meekly to any exaction or
imposition that is forced by persons of their
own race, whom they have regarded as
strong in authority over them. The return
of the ship was entirely unexpected, and
created much excitement among negroes
who have thronged the wharves throughout
the day in the hope of getting glimpse OF
the Gospel ship, as she is called. 1t is i'm
possible to tell as yet what the Exodus AS
sociaion intends to do The return of the
bark is as unexpected to them as every one
