The Washington Post declares that
prohibition is . Transparent hum
bug" Is it not more reasonable to
say that the '.hinaaug'' lies in the
failure to enforce prohibition hwss
Prohibition cannot succeed If officials
fail to do their duty The people
elect the officials, and II they do not
hold them to a strict accountability
all will prove failure-
In this state, where prohibition has
been in vogue since 1889, there is a
wholesome public feeling against the
return of the liquor saloon. Fathers
and mothers, and all responsible
classes are opposed to it. A vast
majority of the republican party In
North Dakota, and = decidedly l,asty
minority of the Democratic party
have, in their state conventions, Civ
en- evidence of this fact.
The people are not to be taunted In
to resubmission Of the liquor ques-
tion by the charge that the law is not
and can not be enforced. What they
purpose is that the law shall be en-
forced to the fullest extent. Liquor
drinking and its attendant miseries
have been greatly diminished under
prohibitive statutes. Many people
who at first entertained honest doubts
as to the advisability as well as the
practicability of prohibition, now
frankly admit that great benefits have
resulted from it, and that still greater
benefits must follow.
Among progressive people there has
ever been. and still exists, a strong and
determined hostility to liquor. This
hostility is based upon high grounds,
because the question Immediately
concerns the welfare of the human
race. But the moral suasionist long
since found that he could make the
best of progress against a traffic that
had the sanction of law.
Intemperance is a disease. If a
cure is to be effected, the cause must
be removed. The enactment of pro-
hibitOry statutes does not lesson the
necessity for temperance societies.
The temperance lecturer will always
find a welcome upon the rostrum, and
he my be depended upon to cooperate
with the anti-liquor legislator. Both
lecturer and legislator will be sus-
tanned by enlightened public senti-
ment.
So faras North Dakota is concerned
her people will take no backward step
in the matter of temperance reform.
Resubmissionists may hope to enforce
their cause by winking and conniving
at violations of the law, but this is
not the fair and just way of testing
real prohibition neither is it evidence
of very good citizenship. The prop
er course is for all classes to join in
the strict enforcement of the law.
Then we may Judge whether it is de-
ksirable to keep it upon the statue
books. Lake Inter-Ocean.

the cost OF any mans liberty"
II said that our flag in Cuba would
come down in honor. as it went up in
the interest of liberty. And so It has.
But that has nothing to do with this

SDooner said he had declared that he
was not in favor Of making promises to

nor to men who were training their
guns upon American troops. He stood
by that declaration now.
Adverting to the beginning Of hos
tiities between the Americans and
Fiiipinos, Spooner described how the
firing began.

aldo had written to Gen. Otis express
ing regret at the occurrence and had
withdrawn his troops.

were driven back" (Applanse).

comment: For you. You are deco
rated by Aguinaldo" Oaughter).
Spooner insisted that there was no
parallel to be drawn between the situa-
zion in Cuba and tnat in the Philip
pines. He declared that the opening OF
hostiities in the Philippines was a
perfectly wanton attack upon our
troops who were rightfully around Ma
Mia" He quoted the vote in the Sem
ate by which troops had been raised to
be sent to the Philippines. The Demo

for the sending of the troops that there
was to be war, that there would be
