WHY 1T SHOULD NOT BE DONE.

If it is true, as asserted in the con
vention on Thursday, that the major
ity of the delegates favor the submits
sion of the prohibition question to the
popular vote, with the constitution
but as a separate provision, they are
contemplating a great mistake.
The Herald recognizes the fact that
there are many very estimable per-
sons who favor the entire suppression
of the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating drinks. They fall into the
error of making the traffic a crime,
when the criminality of the drink evil
is in the excessive use Of intoxicants
by which the rights of society are in
fringed.
But yielding to them all that they
claim, for arguments sake, there are
millions of other people who never in
dulge in the evil of intoxication but
who either regularly or occasionally
use wine, beer and even strong drink
without ever passing beyond the line
of sobrietY and who are just as repu-
table and intelligent members of So
ciety as those who are total abstain
ers. In one respect they are superior
to some of these; they do not attempt
to force other people to adopt their
views or live by their rules.
Let it not be understood that in
stating this fact, we are advocating
the use of intoxicants or of any kind
of stimulant. We are simply putting
forward the rights of such persons as
choose to use them without abusing
them. as deserving of consideration in
popular government. Because we
do not choose to take them ''as a
prive other people of their freedom in
this matter. And their liberties are
infringed when you render it irnpossi-
bic for them to obtain what they re-
gard as necessary to their happiness
or comfort. That is our position.
We do not expect to see any direct
prohibition clause inserted in the con-
stitution. That is not demanded or
requested by the promoters of the pro-
hibition movement. What is wanted
is the submission of the question to
the vote of all the people who are to
form the new state. And itAs that
which we believe ought not to be
done.
1t may seem to many a very reason
able and fair proposition. But the un-
fairness of 1t lies In the fact that the
people of some parts of the state are
under conditions altogether different
from those under which others are
placed. The large cities need regula-
tions peculiar to themselves. If any
county or city in the state desires TO
establish prohibition, it should have
the privilege. But those parts of the
state that would vote for it should not
be able TO outvote the people in other
parts of the state who do not want
prohibition.
Salt Lake City should retain the
right it now has to regulate its own
municipal affairs. So with every other
incorporated city. The principle of
local sef-goyernment should not be

Those very logical people who draw
an argument against the use of tea,
because of a mythical tale about scme-
body finding a piece Of something in
a packet of tea which they were sure
was a little bit of a toe-nail, Should
carry out their reasoning by refusing
to use sugar, because it is announced
that million pounds of sugar has been
placed for sale in Philadelphia, contain
ing arsenic enough to poison the whole
population. Habitual tea drinking is
bad enough of itself without trying to
use toe-nails against it, and arsenic
is worse even than nails of any kind
or description.

A proposition to tax bachelors has
been made to the Illinois legislature.
1t meets with much favor. 1t applies
to all unmarried men over 80 years of
age. But the question is raised. why
the bill does not extend the tax to
spinsters over that age. There are
two reasons against that: One is that
it would be difficult to prove the age of
spinsters over So and the next is that
it is not the fault Of the spinsters, but
Of the neglectful and unappreciative
men, that there are any spinsters left
on hand. Let the tax go where it be-
longs.

A contemporary which seems to be
getting denser in mind every day, says
the damage done to the carpet indus
try in England was inflicted by Dem
ocrartic policy" which is correct, but
adds that cit has also had the effect
which is an absurdity. How American
manufacturers can be damaged by be-
ing able to undersell English manufac-
turers in their own centres of trade,
can only be explained by Tribune logic
which is the kind that refutes itself.

Another war rumor comes across the
Atlantic. England objects to the send
ing of troops by France into Africa,
and the watchers for war see in that
a cloud bigger than mans hand"
which is a portent of trouble between
Great Britain and Gaul. Wars have
not been very rife Of late years, but
''rumors of wars have been many
and ominous. They have gone off in
the vapor Of hot language, however
and perhaps the present dispute will
terminate in the same way. Let us
hope so, and Let US have peace"

A cloudy contemporary wants to
know who will be orator of the day
at the natural gas celebration" and
suggests that there are several prom

also a number of Republican orators
who are not fitted for the place; they
have gas enough, but it is unnatural
and gives no light.

Omaha. July 25.-The new cleo law o.

prohibits the sale, within the state, OF

pels hotels and restaurant keepers who
use the imitation goods to display cards
announcing that fact. Imitation butter
may be manufactured for shipment to
other states and colOred to represent
butter. Oleo that has not been colored
may be sold within the the state. All
licenses to sell cleo expired on June 30,
and as they cannot be renewed except
for a year in advance the retail dealers
have not taken out new licenses. AS a
result the butter men are now receiving
about all the benefit that they Will get
when the law actually goes into effect.
The absence from the market Of but
terine has increased sales of butter.
The sales are three times what they
were a month ago, but ii has not adj
vance the price. Omaha received
more butter than she consumes, and
the surplus has to be shipped on east.
In times past. when butterine was SOLD
to a very large extent on this market,
the local consumption Of genuine butter
dropped dow TO a very low point II
the great bulk had to be shipped out
again. Butter had also been very low.

among the butter men who point to II
as an evidence thai legislation in the
different states Is proving effective.
The manufacture of imitation butter
is one of the important industries OF
South Omaha. The Cudahy Packing
company has been a heavy manufact-
urer of that product. The Swift and
Hammond people have handled imita-
ton butter at this point. They do not
manufacture ii here, but they do at
their Chicago houses.
L. A. Cudahy, manager of the Cudahy
subject, remarked that he anticipated
that the new law would affect the bust.

sales of cleo last season, which
amounted to 5000 pounds. That
would be equivalent to cutting off about
