EDITED BY THE LADIES.
National Prohibition.

prohibition is an aggressive work.
We car not profess to be interested
in the destruction of the liquor traffic
and staEd still. If we are conscious
that we have got hold of the elements
of a just cause and long for higher
standard, we will not be long IN find
ing the means to develop this cause.
1t is only necessary that we commence
this work to awaken the conviction
that National Prohibition is possible.
The conviction will soon be apparent,
that this is the only practical remedy,
and our efforts and aspirations will
not be satisfied until we attain to this.
7. W. Higginson in his crisp incis-
i've way, says: Women need the
ballot, not because they are angels,
but because they are one-half of the
human race. 1f women vote, they
will often vote ig Z 5tas s s7ntly or ,angrily
or selfshly, as men 10; and they have
the same right to commit these errors
and to learn by them. For self-pro-
lection, for justice, for the consistency
of our political principles, they have
right to the ballot. If a pair of
scissors breaks apart, we have them
riveted again; not because either half
posses angelic superiority over the
other. but because it takes two halves
to make whole"
There are a good many temperance
people who hold that there is really
no need of making prohibition a ma
tional question; that it can be settled
by the individual states. From the
ease and alacrity with which the
courts have of late been bowling over
the barriers which states have built
against saloons, it would seem that
| they are in error While we were in
Iowa recently, a paper in one of the
whisky cities came out with trium-
plant cartoon, representing original
| PACKAGE snakes crawling over the
borders into Iowa on every side, and
calling attention to the futility of state
prohibition. So the courts and their
clients seem bent on forcing prohibi-
ton as a national issue-doing just
what those prohibition cranks," as
they tenderly call them, are doing.
The prohibition states have some
thing original to contend with.
The United State supreme court de-
cIsion as regards alcoholic beverages
and the Interstate law is decidedly"
original. What effect it will have on
growing crops can not yet be deter
mined, but it is quite natural to con-
lecture that there will be less dryness
and more storms than in the recent
past. It's an ''eye OPENER" as it were.
Day after day with frightfuI mon
otony the papers tell of 'fatal collis-
ions," with so many "killed outright. %
and attendant horrors. It is usually
attributed to somebody's Careless
ness;'' a switch left open, an order
not properly sent. an order misread,
or disregarded. etc. 1t now aud then
turns out, when the matter is search
ed thoroughly, that drink is the cause
of the ''carelessness." OF how many
other wrecks drink is the cause 1t is
hard to say, but in such business as
railroading one muddled brain, or
ono unsteady hand, is an awful possI-
bility.

THE remarkable story of Eda Hick-
an, told in the Missouri courts, evil
IDENTIFY has some basis of truth, or a
verdict would not have been given in
the claimants favor by one of the
tribunals before which the litigation
was heard. The woman claims that
until quite recently, or for over TWEEN
ty-four years after slavery had been
abolished by law, she was kept in ig-
norance of her freedom and held in
service, supposing that she was still a
chattel, the property of her master.
She therefore sues for the moderate
sum of S. a month for the period sta
ted. The case is a surprising one in
many respects.
