Prohibition. Is it Constitutional
Editor PALarKA NEWS:
We do not desire 10 discuss here the
moral question of temperance, whether
it is right on wrong. But simply to an
swer a few objections in reference to the
constitutional basis of prohibition, and
Laws regulating what we shall eat
drink or wear" We find that the found
ers Of the constitution asserted among
other things, that governments are con
stituted among men for the benefit Of the
governed. And our Creator endowed ali
men with certain inalienabIe rights, life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And
upon these three principles our govern
meut is founded; that it is the right Of
the people to change the form Of govern
ment and institute new form as may be
B. them deemed best for the interest OF
all
Lett see for a moment. The first
principle is that of human life. The
hundred thousand graves filed by the
victims of the licensed rum traffic in tins
country answers that it is destructive to
human life. The sale of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage is contrary and
opposed to the principles upon which our
government is founded, and therefore
contrary To the constitution of our coun-
try. The next principle guaranteed is
, liberty. Go to the prisons of this coun-
try and investigate the causes which fill
them. Seyenty-hve per cent. of all the
/ prisoners in the penitentiaries throughout
the United States are graduates from the
/ licensed rum shops. Is that destructive
of human liberty: Go TO the hundreds
of thousands Of homes throughout the
/ country where the oppressed and suffer
. ing wife weeps with her pcnniless, bread
/ less, frtendless children, and she viii tel
I you in language not to be misunderstood
/ that 1t is destructive II human happiness.
+ Al power Is inherent with the people.

/ people desire It, but it never can be abol-
ished 10y tlanplins it snder foot,
Now, We are told that no law can be

THE eIrish vote" seems to have

claimed that there was an Irish
American Blaine and Logan club of

hitherto voted the Democratic

for Rutland, however, the Republic

usual. In Burlington, where great
things were expected of the same
Irish vote, the Democrats carried
the city for the first time in IFS his

The World says that Mr.. Cherry
Is Large stockholder in demo
cratic journal and furnished the
money, which, in 1882, saved the
people of Tennessee from the bon
dage of the 1908 act which the radi-
cal party sought TO fasten upon
them. Since the World (the dem
ocratic Journal in which Mr.. Cherry
is the "large stockhOlder'') has be-
come communicative, will ii inform
the public how much money Mr..
Cherry made through the defeat of
the 1908 act? Will it deny that this
"large stakeholder" and Mai. Tom
O'CODnor realized a much larger
sum than was spent in the defeat Of
this act? And, while in a commu-
NEGATIVE mood, will the World also
tell how much Mr.. Cherry made by
the repeal Of the 60-3-4-5-6. act and
the passage OF the SOB law ? And
will ii deny the charge, publicly
made, that Mr.. Cherry employed an
agent to substitute railroad bonds
for state-debt proper bonds without
payment for the exchange, and that
at least $l50,000 was thus secured ?
When it Is undertaken to give Mr..
Cherry credit for expenditures to de-
feat the 1908 act there should be
fully stated all of the circumstances
connected with, and causes leading
to, the outlay, in order that the peo-
pie may know whether or not he &C
ted from pure patriotism or selfish
and sordid interest. Will the World
plainly answer these questions with
out equivocatIon or lodging? We
put the inquiry to the UniOn-street
paper, because the admission is vir-
tually made, in reply to the Knox
vile Chronicle, that its editor is sin

How Tom corwin Died.


Tom Corwin died in Washington.
He was fifty-six years old when he
accepted the Office under Fillmore
and ne had been governor of Ohio
and senator before this. When Lin
coin was elected he got the appoint
ment of Minister 10 Mexico, andshe
had just returned from Mexico to
Washington when he died. 1t was
at a reception. Corwin was talking
about Mexico when he gasped.
threw up his hands and became in
sensible. 4 few hours later he was
dead. Like Salmon p. Chase, his
death was caused by paralysis. His
body was taken TO Ohio for burial,
and it lies wIthina stones throw OF
the sleeping town of Lebanon, a
few miles north of Cincinnati. A
monument now marks the spot, but
was erected only a year or two ago.
Bob IngersolI once being asked to
lecture in Lebanon, replied: HE
would be id if he would talk to
town who had not energy enough
to erect a stone over Tom COrwin's

Wheat Growing

As rule. wheat is sighted in
drilling. The pillow is run deep
enough, but not enough narrowing
aud rolling follows. The soil is
made reasonably fine upon the sur
face, and left full Of clOds deep down
but even then lack OF t'engineerig"
fails to utilize this Iumpy stratum
for undertakings, and retaining too
great an amount Of water, the freez-
ing aud thawing causes upheaval
and displacement of the soil. 1t is
not an unusual thing to see farmers
plOwinR, and sowing wheat imme-
diately behind the pillow, and while
occasionally good crop may thus
result, Inquiry among farmers re-
veals the fact that most invariably
the land plowed several weeks be-
fore drilling products for the best,
and especially is this true when the
land when plowed was thickly
coated with weeds, pigeon grass and
the like. BY early blowing, har-
rowing and rolling the SOIL. espec-
tally upon. our clay lands, so as to
compact it and make it less like a
sponge, wheat-lf well fertilized
and kept free from standing water
(what is quite as bad) the extreme
point OF saturation-will stand vast
amount OF freezing without injury.
The decline of wheat growing is
more due to lack of knowing some
OF the requirements of wheat upon
clay soils, and consequent failure
than from decline in prices. The
value of the grass crop is becoming
more and more realized, and when
farmers crop for grass, making it a
speciality, insteadOf chance growth
its worth will be recognized, and its
culture placed in the front list OF
profitable farming, and wheat-grow-
ing, AS a crop in rotation, will again
become popular and profitable.

convention, on the railroad commits

Democratic elector for this district
in the Hancock campaign and a
true Democrat !: f&.ltB
she claimed that mans Democ.
racy was not tested by his fealty to
a railroad commission. 1t was not
a principle OF Democracy, and had
nothing to do with il. He argued
that a commission was antagOnistic
to the best interests OF the country
and, therefore, not 10 be cOuntenan-
ced. He declared that the courts
should decide the question before
the people had anything more to do
with it. He said that the threat
that the World would not support
the nominees should not effect a
single Democrat. II that paper
should fight the nominees Of The
