Those who are trying to solve the
mystery of the prehistoric races Of
America have learned that it is vain
to look to the natives of to-day for
help. The North american Indians
can tell nothing of the mound build

the cliff dwellers as gods, can remeln-
Der little about them beyond claim
ing to have been taught their own
strange religion Of sacrifice from that
source. In South America the past is
similarly obscured.

FIGHTING THE LIQUOR MEN.
How the Anti-Liquor League is Carrying
on Its Fight
Tactics That Have Alarmed Appli-
posed to Defeat the League.

There Is great activity among the liquor
men at present and applications for license
during the coming year are being put in
shape. That there Is considerable uneasi-
ness among the liquor men is also manifest
from the frequent visits they pay the Dis
trict building and the anxious inquiries they
make concerning the position Of the temper
ance people.
All things considered, the war that will
De waged against the liquor men during the
present license year will be without para1-
lei In the history Of the local government
since the new license law passed there has
been representative Of the anti-liquor
league at the District building each day.
AS soon as an application was filed a COM
piete copy was made, together with a list
of the signers, location, &C. The repre-
sentatives of the league then commenced a
well-planned attack, and the result has
been that in number of cases signers have
AT each meeting of the excise board there
were representatives Of the anti-liquor
league present, who combated the evil
dence presented by the applicant for license,
ana the board room of the District Com
missioners has oftentimes resembled q court
OF law. The arguments have been strong
on both sides and legal points have been
raised that necessitated an opinion from the
attorney for the District.
1t has been stated that the representa-
tives OF the anti-liquor league, as soon as
an application is filed, will continue their
fight by using their influence with the sign
ers to have them withdraw their names
from the application. This of course Is
one OF the most potent means of attack
and the liquor men are constantly alarmed.
The liquor men. on the other hand, hope to
be equal to the emergency, and this year
instead of handing in their applications be-
fore the LIST Of November will wait until
the last day and then hand them in with a
rush. hoping thereby to defeat the purpose
Of the league.
The league, on the other hand, Is armed
with large amount of material and 1t IL
understood has a complete list of those
places that. as they claim, should not, under
any consideration. be licensed. When these
cases come up the representative present
will simply ask the Commissioners for a
continuance of a week and In that way gain
time to collect evidence
