Robins FINESSE
He Has Handled the Liquor Ques-

RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PEOPLE
Prohibition May Lose the Next Bat
tie as Liquor Men Are
Aroused.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 13-The quest ion
of prohibition is still the principal theme
OF discussion, and during the past week
the newspapers have devoted a good deal
of space to the publication of interviews
with leading men on the question. These
are interesting, as they show that outside
of the strong partizan and temperance
clubs Robbins decision to take refer
endum vote on the question is generally
commended. ists
1t is not by any means certain that the
country Will go in favor CT prohibition.
The heads of the three leading churches
in this country, viz. Archbishop Nachroy
Of the Church of England, Archbishop
Lanquin of the Catholic church, and Dr..
Patrick, principal of Manitoba college.
who is the head of the Presbyt erian
church, have all pronounced against pro-
hibition, and their expressions will carry
much weight when the vote is taken. In
the meantime the intention Of the gov
eminent as to compensation in case the
act carries. the majority to be demanded,
and other details in connection with the
vote, are secret.
1t was the intention oftthe government
to have held caucus on Saturday, but
there were not a sufficient number of
members in the city for this. The caucus
will probably be held tomorrow evening.
The general opinion is that Robin has
steered himself and his government out
OF situation thought to be insurmount-
able with great credit as he throws the
entire responsibility on the people them
selves H.. III .-a-
Although, on these occasions, the pro-
hibition question has been before the peo-
pie, the liquor men have never before
considered the question as serious, and
have been unconcerned. Now they recog
nize that they are up against "the real
thing and they will, no doubt fight as
hard as they founght for the defeat of
Hugh J. Macdonald in the Brandon cleo
ton. 1t is generally expected that in the
cities and larger towns the vote will go
against prohibition, while the villages
will go strongly in its favor.

JURY BRIBlNG CHARGED
BUSINESS FOR THE GRAND JURY
state OF Things Laid Bare by the
County Bar Association at
h Omaha.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha. Neb., Jan. 13.-Systematic
bribery Of juries, which is said to have
been practiced for five years by fran
chised corpora tons of Omaha, is the sub
3ect Of investigation by the Douglas
County Bar association. The findings will
be laid before the. grand jury now in ses-
sion.
The charges were brought by T. w.
Blackburn, an attorney. who has discov-
cred evidence Of corruption in conducting
personal damage cases against corpora
tions. Afidavits were presented which
disclosed that a juror in one case had
been promised future employment in con-
sideration Of keeping damage award down
to 500. The fact was also brought out
that interested corporations without ex-
ception were able to secure acknowledged
representatives on every jury which was
likely to consider their litigation.
The alleged transgressions are &C
counted for in some measure by heavy
personal damage awards brought in the
past for trivial injuries.
