OBSERVATIONS
BY SARAH B. HARRIS

girls in the university Is feminizing
that institution. and the youths who
have noticed the tendency viii have
an opportunity to say some time
whether it shall continue. But the
girls who owe their horizon, the sweet
ness and light of life to the university
are legally dumb.
1t is singular, considering the history
of the race and especially of families,
that men should begrudge woman an
education and the largest, freest life
of the spirit. There never was a man
who emancipated his generation, who
lighted a torch whose genial CLEANS
still illuminate humanity's march, who
did not possess a great mother,
dreamer, perhaps one who held con-
ventions lightly, but one who thought
her own thoughts and let trifies re-
main trifies. 1t is singular, again, that
of all the great men who have lived
and served there are few who had
great sons. The mothers Of the great
artists, poets, architects, statesmen
dreamed dreams that their sons made
come true. Evolution is accomplished
by the improvement of both parents
and the slow transmission of the i'm
provement.

Prohibiionists

The cause of temperance is unfortu-
nate in Lincoln in having a figure
head who has been suspected of black
mailing the saloons for his own per-
rule, though an impractical and un-
convincable type, are pure idailists
and optimistic to a degree. They do
not resemble the professional reformer
sake of a job. for a crib at the expense
of the public. Your prohibitionist is
an idealist pure and simple and with
out compromise. The devil and his
him, for they know it is useless.
Neither argument nor facts can con-
vince the real prohibitionist that he is
wrong. He says there are laws against
and robbery are committed. Because
the laws against these crimes are, in
measure, Intellectual, are they to be
abrogated? He says that saloons are
community is particeps criminis when
it accepts a thousand dollars or more
from the saloon keeper and issues to
him a permit, license to run his ne
farious business, a business which
keeps the penitentiary and insane asy-
lum full of men who must be detained,
fed and lodged at the public expense.
He says that it is outrageous to give
the money which we receive from in
stitutions that ruin homes and make
murderers and lunatics, to the schools;
and that If we did not procure the
money in this way we could not afford
to educate our children.
From this point of view the school
argument does appear tenuous. When
the believer in the doctrine that sa-
looms are a necessary evil replies to
the prohibitionist that recent statistics
show that only about a third Of the
inmates Of penitentiaries and asylums
are drinking men, he holds that the
fathers and mothers Of the inmates re-
ferred to, drank, and that in conse-
Quence they were born degenerate and
vicious. Statistics stop here.
But for and against aside, it is GER
tain that the prohibitionists, in keep
ing alive the discussion of this subject
and in constantly directing attention
to the evil that the saloon is respon-
sible for, are performing great ser
vice to the community. In them more

ing men, day laborers, whom the cause
has won in the last few years Is a
cause for congratulation. A hereto
and an observer of how prohibition
does not prohibit in Topeka IL inspired
ii not convinced by the clear eyes, zeal
and conviction of the men who are
doing what they can year by year at
elections and between times by ex-
hortation and example to induce men
to forswear liquor. And more than all
the institutions Of Lincoln, more than
all the business houses and active, en-
terprising business men, the hope of
the community is in this constantly
enlarging group Of believers in clean
illness and sobriety.
At the present time prohibition can
not be enforced in Lincoln because the
majority of the voters are not In favor
Of it. But the saloon is evil, all evil
Nothing wholesome or for the benefit
Of the community can emerge from it,
1t is bad and the men who go into it
and come out of it are degenerating.
They are not the men they were a few
years ago. 1t is a matter of observa-
tion that the men who go in and out
of the swinging doors are not the la
boring men. Some are the men whose
names are printed every week in the
society columns Of the papers. They
are no longer the railroad men, for the
70 ov,;a
ployes who go in either at the front or
back door Of saloons. They are men
of more or less standing in this COM
munity. 1t is true that their standing
and reputation are not what they
were. The saloon habitue is under SEN
tence. He is the last man to find it
out. But the day will come when he
will look back over the long path he
has stumbled down hill and for the
first time he will acknowledge the
cause of his loss Of money, influence,
position, respect and his own earning
and thinking capacity.
If the saloons were closed some of
the younger men who are Just begin
----~o IL,
be ashamed to go to a dive to get
liquor. In the meantime the actual
moral elevation, superior faith and
tenacious optimism Of the prohibition
lists Of this little city Of Lincoln is the
most encouraging sign of future re-
generation. Politicians are quick to
see the beginnings of the source of
future power, and the results of the
recent election have opened their eyes.
They had no idea that the prohibition
lists had such a following. The evil
dence of strength is the only convinc-
ing argument to a politician. Since the
municipal returns he speaks Of the pro-
hibitionist party in this city with an
unconscious infection Of respect never
before apparent in his elocutionary ef-
forts. The eventual triumph of the
prohibitionist party here is assured.
1t is only a matter Of a few years
when saloons will be against the law
and the school revenue will have to be
raised by some other means A trial
may convince a majority that pro-
hibition is impossible. The prohibi-
zionist himself will never be convinced.
1t is certain that in the near future a
trial will be made, and the politicians
might as well begin to arrange their
sails to take advantage Of the wind
from that quarter.

TIE Color Line at Los Angeles

In families, or in small clubs, or
within the boundaries of a coterie of
friends. it is possible by agreement to
taboo a subject whose discussion has
a tendency to arouse prejudice and an
imosities. But for the sake Of peace
and harmony such a subject can not
be eliminated from the discussions Of a
large body containing delegates from
nearly every state in the union. A
number of small clubs have passed
resolutions deprecating discussion of
the color question at the approaching
biennial meeting Of the General Fed
Grafton Of women's Clubs which will
meet at Los Angeles on the first, see

likely that the discussion Of whether
