The New York Sun ridicules the
idea that the saloon ellis certain So
cial functions better than any other
agency in competition with it" as as
serted by a Chicago settlement work
er. In criticism Of the opinion that
large share of the frequenters Of the
saloon go there to get rid Of the dis
comforts of the homes Of poverty, the
Sun says: people go to the saloon
to drink though they dwell in comfort,
and probably as many of them, pro-
portionate1y, as frequent the saloons
in the poorer neighborhoods. That
open parks and Fairgrounds do not
prove a sufficient substitute is shown
in the crowded saloons of Central
Park. The saloon survives in the
competition with luxurious homes and
clubs no less than with the discom-
forts Of crowded tenements, 'howling
children and unkempt and scolding
wives.'"

WHAT IS "A DEVOUT METHO-
nIST2n

The Boston Methodist Social Unlon'
in sending an invitation to President
Mckinley to be it's guest next month";
sneaks of him as "a devout Metho-
dist" We know a small army OF
truly "devout Methodists" and other
Christians who have had about all
thew can stand of this sort of thing.
IF the bestowal of such compliments
nnon one who has deliberately, re-
peatedly and in a variety OF ways
trampled upon the discipline OF MS
church, as well as upon the principles
Of the religion he processes, with all
that naturally accompanies sucn
toadyism, shall cause wide split IN
the church, let the responsibility
therefor be placed where it belongs.
Surely it cannot be justly laid upon
the heads of those who are not only
faithfully bearing the burdens OF the
church. but who are also obedsent to
her requirements and who are DONG
everything in their power to orlns
the church up to her own STANDARDS.

EDITORIAL.

If a paper accepts liquor ADVERTISE
ments. don't look in it's editorial COL
umns for fair treatment of our cause.
A section of the knights of the Royal
Arch, a saloonkeepers' organization,
bolted at the national convention this
month, and organized the knights OF
Fidelity It is fairly safe to predict
that neither society will whoop it up
for the Prohibition party.
The most pitiable spectacle in the
Kansas outbreak is the fact that be-
fore that poor old grandmother, her
heart overlooking with sympathy with
her fallen brothers and suffering sis
tiers, took the field with the Ratchet in
her hand, she was compelled to press
her way through file after file of Amer
lean voters, fifteen million in all, who
had not done their duty in the matter.
Had they voted against the saloon she
would never have been heard from.
The editors of the New Voice have
reason to congratulate themselves that
the more the statements made in that
able journal are investigated, the more
confidence is placed in it's reliability.
An enterprising and truthful defender
of a great reform is compelled to turn
the light on some awful conditions,
and people Of hidebound prejudices
or monumental ignorance will easily
and often let the words, "You lie"
slip between their lips. But the truth
marches on.

TRUTH GETTING OUT.

IF the defenders of the canLeen aie
not more careful they will develop a
sentiment against the saloon which
will hurl both it and it's twin-sister' the
canteen, into the sea. Men VINO nave
never been suspected of harboring a
grudge against the liquor traffic can
now hardly find words to express their
horror of the awful institutions which
exist near army posts, especially $50
they claim) since the abolition OF the
canteen.
Unfortunately for the reputation OF
the government which harbors these
resorts, what they say regarding them
is true. The weakness in the argu-
ment is that they are neither more nu-
merous nor worse in character because
the canteen has been outlawed, nor are
they so much worse than other saloons
as the defenders Of the canteen would
have us suppose. Little by little, ana
through all sorts of agitation, the ma
ton is waking to the fact that the
most indefensible and hellish instltu-
ton which exists in America to-day is
the one which does business with the
consent of the national and state legis-
lators, the parties which elect them
and the voters who keep those parties
in power rather than take the risk of
allowing those awful Democrats Tor
Republicans) term of Office. But the
day dawns.

NOT "A HOPELESS FIELD"

In it's report of the Oregon Prohibi-
ton conference the Oregon Searchlight
says: REV. Coulters presentation of
Law Enforcement was enjoyed by the
members of the conference. But his
views of the hopelessness of the Or
ganized church as a field in which to
SOW prohibition seed was shared by but
few, if any. National Chairman Stew
arts strong endorsement of the Or
ganized church was greatly appre-
ciated."
Chairman Stewart is right. True, the
church is not doing what she ought for
the prohibition reform. If she would
measure up to her duty and opportu-
nifty in this regard, the battle would be
practically over. Yet she is far from

NOT EVEN SALOONS.

1t is noteworthy that the public
press has almost without exception
spoken of the illegal saloons of Kan
sas as "joints," rather than as sa-
looms. They have thus unintention-
ally paid compliment to the people
of Kansas who have put the saloons of
that splendid. commonwealth under
the ban and odium of the law. To
have drawn such line of demarca-
ton between the legitimate and the
illegitimate, to have thus separated
the saloonkeeper's business from that
of the grocer, dry goods dealer and

BOILED DOWN.

The Herald and Presbyter says that
the canteen as social headquarters
need not be because the sale of liquor
therein has been abolished. Let the
soldiers have their canteens, but let
them be carried on in way to do
good and not evil" 7|

TIT FOR TAT.

A bill has been introduced in the
state legislature to limit the number
of saloons in one block. What's the
matter with limiting the number of
fake clairvoyants in one tenement?
Both Sides.
1t is evident that our esteemed sa-
loon contemporary has not forgotten
to what family it belongs.
Eleven towns in Minnesota report
no license victories at the recent cleo
tion.-News item in several ex-
changes.
First, this item refers only to the
elections held on March 6, while
many incorporated villages voted
later. Second, more than eleven
towns voted against license on the
date named. Third, large number
of no-license towns rarely or never
vote on the question because the sa-
loonists do not think it worth their
while to bring up the issue.
The Kansas City crusade has al
ready served useful purpose in that
it has brought out the fact that pro-
hibition is a dead letter in that state,
and now that public attention is d.
rected toward the subject, it is prob
able that the law will either be en-
forced or the question resubmitted-

Company says that he can make no an
nouuCement regarding the report Of his
company hauling sugar from the Ma
kee plantation at AnahOla. Just when
the new company is to begin running
vessels TO that port, is uncertain, if in
deed, the sugar is shipped by that line.
Island shippers declare that the COM
pany viii find il a very dangerous I'M
dertaking TO ship sugar from Anahola.
The harbor is unsafe at times, even for
the little island boats which go there.
and is dangerous for big steamers like
the Globe company navigates, to ven-
ture into the harbor. The Globe people
are having a steam lighter constructed
however and they will use. this in all
probability, if they are to handle the
Makee sugar.

STATUS OF PHILIPPINES.
Treasury Department Not Ready For
COastWise Rule.

SAN FRANCISCO, December TO-
The Treasury Department seems to be
very much at sea over the recent deci-
sion Of the United States Court i'm the
Philippine cases to the effect that those
islands are part of the territory Of the
United States and that it Is therefore a
forfeitable offense for a foreign vessel
to transport merchandise from them to
any other port i'm the United States.
Late last week the secretary of the
Treasury instructed the Customs Col
lector at this port to remit whatever
penalties might have been incurred by
the Nippon Maru of the japanese line
for carrying twenty cases Of hats from
Hong Kong TO San Francisco, the hats
having been conveyed from Hong Kong
TO Manila bV a British vessel. The rea-
son given by the Secretary Of the Urea
sury for this order was that the ship
ment had been made before the Su-
preme Court Of the United States had
rendered its decision.
Yesterday the Secretary of the Treas
ury suddenly put on the brakes by the
following telegraphed order to Collec-
tor Stratton:
