Columbus, Feb. S.-The House, amid
the greatest excitement witnessed in
the hall this year, late last evening
passed the Clark Local Option bill.
The vote stood 30 to 81. The CALLER
les were crowded with ladies', members
Of the W.C.T.U., and, as Speaker Rey-
nolds announced the result of the
vote, the walls were set to echoing
and the air was made white with wav-
ing handkerchicfs. The passage OF the
bill may be said to have been victory
for terneprance, in spite Of the anti
Saloon League, whose secretary and
chief representative, Rev. p. A. Ba-
ker, is intensely unpopular with many
members of the House Mr.. Sccse, of
Summit, voted AYE" Oh the bill.
The bill makes it optional with cit.

"Thcre Is n great amount of scnseless
talk about an ideal Christian daily,
mainly from people who know the least
about editing papers. We deny EN-
phatlcally the imputation that there
are no clean and excellent daily papers.
There are many that are practically
Christian. They stand for the higher
moral ideals, pure literature, pure pol
itics, pure homes, honest business.
They are the bulwarks of righteous
ness, and condemn all forms of wrong

an impracticable and visionary ideal
we must not forget the excellent daily
press which we now possess"
The newspapers of today, as rule,
simply embody the publishers idea of

| Washington, Feb. 6.-The House Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors devoted its
morning session to the consideration of
the project for n continuance of the work
on the Brunswick bar.
| The greater portion CT tie time was TAX
en- up by Col Goodyear who. after recall
ing briefly the legislation by former Con-

work which has been done there under
his direction and the successful results as
shown by the reports of the army engin-
eer.
This work at Brunswick has been done
bv Col Goodyear in accordance with the
terms of a special act of Con gress and the
method pursued has been the employment
of dynamite by some new process. rms
work of Col Goodyears has attracted
great deal OF attention and some opposi-
ton because 1t was a departure from the
beaten track.
One phase of the opposition developed
during the hearing before the committee.
II came in the shape of an effort by Gen.

ted with Col. Goodyear in the work, and
who now endeavors to prevent further
contracts being awarded TO the Colonel

that he had no objection whatever 10 the

The committee in executive session de-
cided that II would not give Gen. King
the hearing he requested, but would al

Board of Liquor Control is to be abol-

The result of dissatisfaction all over the
state caused by lack of harmony in the
present board. There were no charges OF
open dishonesty in the speeches to-day,
but it was plainly asserted that the fac
tional fight among the members of the
board had hurt the state.
The bill provides that three directors OF
unquestioned character are to be elected
for term of two years instead of five
years as at present. The commissioners or
superintendent, elected by the board
heretofore. and the cause of all the dis
sension. is TO be elected by the general

want the liquor traffic left in the hands
of each county.

There are other features of the present
law which will be amended, but the main
issue Is settled until the Democratic pri-
mary this summer, when dispensary, pro>

a ticket for state offices.
Some members opposed to the dispen-
sary voted for the bill to-day as better
than the law now in force, knowing that
prohibition or local option could not pass
