criticism. She doesn't need our de-

take care of herself and several scores
of jointists beside. We write them
rather to call attention to the fact
that the conflict with the saloon is
war. Many do not realize this. If
they did, it would alter many of their
conclusions and much of their con-

BRIEF AND BRAINY.

1t Is the duty of every man and should
be the right of every woman to place In
the ballot box his or her highest aspira-
lions for the good of the nation.-Carrie
Chapman Gait
We believe in voting for good man"
and no other kind, but we want the good
man In good party, so that If he Is elect
ed he will have a party that will back
him in enforcing the law.-Leroy Jay In
Patriot Phaanx
The man who votes for license party
and then gets saloon established NEXT
door to his home has no right to complain.
He knows when he thus votes that some
body will have the legalized saloon as a
neighbor, and he is no better than his
neighbor.-John Danner.

A Look Backward and Forward.

This number completes the fifth
year of Backbone's publication. It
was at first intended only as medium
OF communication between the State
Committee and our workers and the
first number was hardly more than a
circular in size. Subscriptions be-
gan to come in so nicely, however,
that it was enlarged to newspaper
size and for some time it has contain
ed more matter suited to all who are
in any way interested in the fight
against the saloon than to those only
who are members of the Prohibition
party. In other words, we have aim
ed to make the paper a votemaker.
The great number of subscriptions re-
ceived by us in these five years di-
rect from the subscribers themselves,
indicates what an immense circula-
ton we might have if our friends
would all interest themselves in secur-
ing the subscriptions of their friends.
The paper has been kept small and
monthly because of the belief that
it was better to reach a large number
monthly with a small paper than a
small number (most of them Prohibi-
tionists already weekly with large
paper. If Backbone were a dollar
weekly, it would probably have 1000
to 5000 subscribers by this time. AS
it is, we print $4,000 copies regularly.
Some of our readers have been good
enough TO say that the contents of
our paper were not to be measured by
square inches.
We have lately raised about $4,000
per year for free circulation, our
pledgors furnishing us with the names
of those to whom they desired the pa
per sent or authorizing some organ
ization or us to furnish their names.
We regularly send our paper to every
Minnesota newspaper and reading
room and to every temperance or pro-
hibition paper in the land. Several
times year copy goes to every bar
Der shop and hotel in the state and to
large list of ministers of all demoni-
nations, to Christian men thought to
be open to conviction on the party
question, to the faculty and students
of Christian colleges, to members of
the various young peoples Christian
societies and to many others.
While intending to continue this free
circulation, we are just now putting
forth unusual efforts to materially in
crease our list of paying subscribers.
The reasons for this are weighty and
we urge our friends to take hold with
us. We have lately made very low,
almost ridiculously low, rates to bona
fide subscribers in clubs. Some have
taken up the work and have done WE'LL
Many others, including not few of
our best men and women have-not
done as well as we could wish. The

EDITORIAL.

Are you worker, Shlrker, or
1erker?
Boston has gone for license. Bean
as it is Boston, all is forgiven.
The canteen issue is bringing the
prohibition fight into the National
arena.
Every TAX Payers Defense
league, and Law Enforcement
League" is an impeachment of the
character of the old parties and an ar
gument for the election of the Prohibit
Gion party
Mr.. Bryan's new lecture discusses
taxation, the money power, trusts and
imperialism, but of course makes no
mention of the great monopoly, the
lfQuOr traffic. Such a penchant have
some people for not seeing things d.
rectiy in front of their eyes.
When one of our workers recently
protested to St. Paul saloonkeeper
against sale to child, the dealer in
diquids laughingly offered her the use
of his telephone to inform the chief of
police of the violation of the law. In
such fear of the officers of the law are
these Knights of the White Apron!
If you want anything in life you
must ask for it and work for it. Do
you wish the saloon power and in
duence destroyed? Well, there is only
one political party in the country Or
gained for that purpose. The Pro-
hibition party is demanding, working
and voting against the licensed sa-
Goons.
Prohibition is not so much to pre-
vent men from drinking who desire to
dosoasit is to withdraw from men who
do not desire to drink the temptation
to do so. The nation now puts the
bottle to the lips of it's citizens and
every license voter and every license
party voter puts it to the lips of his
Fellow citizens.
The New York Board of Excise Com
Tnissioners have revoked the license of
all saloonkeepers who allow anarch-
1sts to congregate in their places of
business. If those who elected them
will now annihilate the business which
everywhere always and by whomso-
ever conducted, breeds anarchists and
1s itself anarchy, it will be "something
fike.''
We may long to give more time and
money to Prohibition work than is in
our power. But we have time enough
and money enough, if we work along
right lines, to keep our friends and
neighbors thinking This means action
later and this means victory. The
main thing, in fact the only necessary
thing, is to be "all at it and ALWAYS
at it"
1t soldiers should be provided with
beer in camp ia order to prevent their
. going down street" to crafty their
, appetite, the patrol idea, freeing the
residential districts of our cities from
Che saloon, is a blunder. The proper
course would be to license reasona-
BILE number of saloons next door to
our homes and SO keep their male oc-
rupants from visiting the downtown
liquor dives and other evil resorts.

fifty, headed by John Creek, yesterday
near Proctor. They We're armed to the
teeth, and We're arrestfng some Creeks
whom they took to Hickory Ground,
their headquarters, and whipped them.
These people, it is said on good author
ity, killed one man who resisted arrest.
The marshal says that the country
west of here is in an uproar, and sew
eral bands of dsaffected Indians, num-
bering about fifty each, claiming to be
the legally constituted authority of the
nation, elected an Independent chief,
council and other officers. The peace
able people applied to the United States
authorities for protection. These In
dams are full-bloods, ignorant and
stubborn, and say that they will make
no treaty and will not allow any Creek
council to ratify one. The soldiers may
be necessary to put them down.

CONSTRUCTION OF The
NICARAGUA CANAL
The Republican Senators Agree to Take No
Action on the Nicaragua Canal
Bill for the Present.
ENGLAND TO Be HEARD FROM FIRST

HOUSE.
| Washington, January 1S.-The house
went into committee of the whole for
the consideration of bills on the private
calendar.
| SENATE.
Washington, January 1S.-Mr. Lodge
of Massachusetts presented the ere
dentials- of his colleague, Mr.. Hoar,
elected recently for six years beginning
| March next. With the expiration of
his pr snnt term he will have served
| twnetyIfoul years in the senate.
Washington, January 1S.-The army
reorganization bill is being considered
by the senate. Mr.. Hale of Maine said
he would prefer a temporary increase
in the army be provided, rather than Il
permanent one. He would, he said vote
for this bill because he could not get
anything better. He thought the argu-
ment that the army should be increased
according to the increase in population
was fallacious.
. Mr. Hale said aside from the emer-
gency in the Philippines, 10000 men was
sufficient for our needs. He did not
know where the men would come from.
With all the war feeling, the men did
not seem to enlist.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Washington, January 1S-The Re-
publican senators decided to-day not to
set day, at least for the present, for
taking up the Nicaragua canal bill.
The decision was reached after an hour
and half caucus, and was unanimous.
The caucus was called largely because
of Senator Morgan's opportunities in
behalf of the bill. The senators con-
cluded so long as Great Britain's atti-
tude toward the amendments to the
ay-Pauncefote treaty is underlined it
would not be wise nor expedient to ag-
itate the question of the construction
of the proposed canal.
Senator Hanna said that with the
army bill out of the way he should ask
that the decision arrived at early in
the session to press the ship subsidy
bin be adhered to. Mr. Hanna was re-
minded of the necessity of giving first
attention to the appropriation bills, and
said he only meant to ask that the sub
sidy bill should receive attention when
the appropriation bills are not up for
considera ton. There was general as
sent to this proposition. Mr.. Aldrich
explained the necessity of getting the
war revenue reduction bill through dur
ing the session, and stated that ne
hoped to be able to report it from the
committee on finance during the early
part of next week. To get the bill
through promptly it was necessary, he
said, that there should be no effort to
amend it by putting on tariff amend
ments There was general assent to
this proposition. Mr.. Proctor asked |
time for the consideration of the oleo-
ma rga rine bill.
