Local. OPTION vs.. PROHIBITION.

We have never doubted that a great
deal could be accomplished in the di-
reclion of temperance by means of To-
cal option and we have never believed
that anything could be accomplished
in that direction by means of state
prohibition law. Hence we have earn
estly advocated local option, and still
advocate it. The experience of those
states. which have adopted state pro-
hibition has not been of an encourag-
ing kind. These states are Maine. New
Hampshire, Vermont and Kansas.
Recently we published statement
made by Percival w. Clement, the Re
publican candidate for Governor of
Vermont, in which he said that state
prohibition was one of the greatest
evils that could possibly affiict
state. He pointed out that although
Vermont has prohibition, il has, in
proportion to its population, three
times as many retail liquor dealers as
Georgia, which has local option. And
MIR. Clement is not an advocate of the
liquor traffic by any means. He is
advocating local option and high IL
cense. The other day Gov Stanley OF
Kansas. prohibitionist, was asked
about prohibition in that state He
replied that the future of IT was large

Some Fool Question.

1--WE all have our troubles" said the
colored philosopher who runs the ele-
vator in the postoffice, according to
the Philadelphia Telegraph, but the
worst of it is that we think no one
have any but ourselves. My greatest
trouble is answering fool questions, and
get a good many of them in the
course of the day. Yesterday there was
a hung jury and one of em asked
me if we had good beds for jurymen
who were kept over night l told him
l hadn't seen any yet, and I'd been
here a good while To-day the Wealth
er Bureau hung their sign as usual in
the elevator. 1t said Fair and that s
all. same as it often does. 1t hadn't
been there five minutes when a man
from up the state came in and asked
me: Where's this yer fair att? / told
him II was in the Circuit Court room
IL IL was anywhere. Wall says he,
I can take it in, I've got to go TO the
circus And that's the way get EN-
right along"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)
says: Would it be regarded as an as
sault on the United States soldiers to
say that the Filipinos had no hand in
making the rules of war to which they
are now expected to gleefully submit ?"
The Chicago Chronicle CDem.) says:
THE Honorable David B. Henderson
is understood to compare himself to
Thomas b. Reed in his method of gov
erning the House of Representatives.
He makes a mistake. Mr.. Reed was a
tyrant, but a man of conceded ability.
MIR. Henderson is a tyrant."
The Philadelphia North American
Rep) says: In view of Senator Han
mas amazing success in securing a
peremptory order to Cuba to accept an
ex-postfacto law, VIGOROUSLY drawn
for the especial benefit of convicted
American thieves, Estes G. Rathbone
probably will refrain from carrying
out his threat to pull down the pill
lars of the temple, and some American
statesmen will sleep better O. nights"
The New Orleans Times Democrat
Oem) says: IF the ideal could be
made synonymous with the actual, the
Dutch republic would rise again,
grander and fairer. Never has a peo-
pie been more obviously equal to the
task Of self government. The estab-
lishment of the republican form could
add nothing to the liberty enjoyed by
the Dutch under the sway of the
Orange princes, but there would be
the certainty that the line of presi-
dents would never fail-that from out
the ranks of the plain people" would
come an unbroken succession of rulers
to body forth the ideals which lived in
the great Stockholders Of the bygone
centuries"

No Need to Worry.

DR.. Thomas Hume, an Irish wit and
friend of Thomas Moore, went into a
newspaper office and silently placed on
the counter the announcement of a
friends death, together with 5 shill-
ings, the uusal charge for the inser-
ton of such advertisements, says the
Youths Companion.
The clerk looked at the paper, tossed
it to one side, and said, in a surly
manner:
Seven and ski"
Il have frequently had OCCASION" re-
piled Hume, Ito publish these simple
notices, and 1 have never before been
charged more than shillings."
"Simple!" repeated the clerk, grump-
lily, without looking up. You say he is
universally beloved and deeply regret

Hume laid the additional money on
the counter, saying, quietly:

is an extra expense to which your
executors will never be put"

. GENUINE ANTI-IMPERIALIsT.

There can be no doubt about the
genuineness of the anti-imperialism of
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. 1t has been
known all along of course that he was
very much opposed to the policy
adopted by the government in regard
to the Philippines, but until a few
days ago it was not known that he Of
fered to pay the 500 900. 900 called for
by the treaty with Spain if he were
permitted to say to the FilipinOs that
it was our purpose to establish a gov
eminent for them on stable basis
and then give them their independence.
According to a conversation which
Mr.. George F. Seward, president of the
Fidelity and Casualty Company of
New York, had with Mr.. Carnegie, the
latter called on President Mckinley
before the treaty of Paris was ratified,
and told him that he felt that a great
mistake would be made if this country
adopted the policy of taking the Philip,
pine islands as a permanent posses
sion He said to Mr.. Mckinley that he
believed that policy would be bad for
this country and bad for the Filpinos,
and that soon after the ratification
of the treaty our people and the Fill
ipinos would be at war with each other.
So deeply did he feel about the matter
that for the privilege of being sent
as a commissioner to the Philippines,
with authority to say to the little
brown men that the Americans meant
them only good, and would soon recog-
nize their independence, he would pay
out of his own pocket the S2O,0OOO 900
to Spain for which the treaty of Paris
provided; and it seems that Mr..
Carnegie is still willing to pay that
sum for the independence of the Fill
pinos.
No doubt President Mckinley was
impressed by Mr.. Carnegie's earnest
ness, but he did not think Mr.. Carne-
gle understood the questions at issue,
and hence did not give his offer fav-
orable consideration. Mr.. Carnegie
saw then that the permanent possess
sion of the Philippines would be dan
gerous to our institutions and harmful
to the Fflipinos. He took no stock
in President McKinley's theory of
benevolent assimilation" The war
that he feared came, and it is not ended
yet. The evils to our institutions from
the possession of the islands have not
become apparent, but there is no good
reason to doubt that they will make
their appearance.
1t is not too late to change our pol
icy. The Democrats of the Senate are
doing what they can to have it chang
ed. The Democrats of the House did
what they could when the Philippine
bill was before that body. Indeed
the entire Democratic party is against
the Philippine policy of the Republican
party. Mr.. Carnegie is a Republican,
but he is not with his party in it's
policy for dealing with the Philippines
He stands with Senator Hoar on that
question, and many other eminent Re-
publicans. The Republican press is
trying to make it appear that the DEM
ocrats in Congress are simply seeking
to make capital for the Congressional
elections but such is not the case.
The Democrats are doing what they
believe is for the best interest of the
country and time. will show they are
right

The Mexican Herald. published in the
city of Mexico, has an interesting edi-
torial article in its issue of May 10.
on the recent memorial address of
Bishop Kelley. The purpose of the ar
ticle is to uphold Bishop Keileys crit
icism of President Roosevelt and to
point out that the President made
mistake when he attacked Jefferson Da-

sistent when he classed President Davis
with Benedict Arnold, and called Rob
ert E. Lee the greatest soldier devel-
oped by the Civil War.

The ministers of Greenfield. Mass.

game to be permitted in the town,
since it draws people away to the links

one of the preachers. provision has
been made in it for the Sunday golf
players" This. by the way, is a little
ambiguous. Some golfers are so en-
thusiastic in their love of the game
that they might not object to going

provisions made for them included
first-rate links.

MaI-Economics of License.

When the taxpayers of our coun-
try awake to the mal-economicS Of
license, a long stride will have been
taken toward the abolition of this
robber of pockets of both rich and
poor Carroll D. Wright testifies in
substance that every average dollar
received for license costs the tax
payers twenty dollars.
The writer is personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Wright and has been
associated with him in some nation
al movements 10 aid the interest of
labor and capital. He has thus
come to know something of how
very valuable is such a statement
from so high an authority. But as a
student and writer on politico-eco-
Monies he has also had occasion to
investigate the subjects for himself,
and has thus become satisfied that
the estimate of Mr.. Wright is clear
ly within the facts underlying that
estimate.
The practical common sense of
this figure will be seen TO be plain
1y probable, when we consider, first,
that crime and court records show
nine-tenthS of the deeds of violence
and of vi1lainy that blacken those
records have their root in the liquor
trade; second, that a city, for exam
pie, may get 100000 year from
liquor licenses, but a single murder
trial, carried by the skill and impu-
dence of legal counsel through years
of trial and appeal, and retrial and
re-appea1, will leave little or moth
ing of that 100000 Hundreds OF
trials cost the taxpayers from
thousands to tens of thousands OF
dollars apiece. Elections that put
bad men in office, to steal millions
a year from the property owners of
any one of scores of our large cities,
could never be carried without aid
of licensed liquor trade within the
borders of that city.
Hence for these reasons, and such
as these, the whole license system
is, besides being unrighteous and
foolish when viewed from moral, or
even common sense staudpoints, es-
sentia1ly very money wasting sys-
tenn. 1t is such a waste of money
that, from a cash point of view, it
will pay honest men to stop leaving
so-ca1led politics to thieves and rob-
bers and attend to politics them
selves. This question, as we'll as
alcoholics in medicine, and other
points of the general subject of
temperance, should set thousands
of young minds to work on lines
that prepare them for vigorous ac-
ton for the right.-Selected.
