DECLARES THAT IGNORANCE OF GOOD
PEOPLE CAUSES POLITICAL DISASTERS

An audience that completely filed the
auditorium OF the First Presbyterian
church hast night listened with in
interest 10 an address by DR.. +. A. Baker
of Columbus. Ohio. general superintendent
OF the Anti-Saloon league in America. DIR.
Thoms OF Seattle, superintendent of the
Washington Anti-Saloon league, presided.
After a statement OF the general purpose
of the Anti-Saloon league and outlining the
work of its three departments Agitation.
Education and Legislation Baker said
in part:
The Anti-Saloon league is not allied
with any political party or religious de
nomination. Our appeal is to men with
patriotism enough to vote for good man
on the other ticket rather than a bad man
on his own party ticket. The great hope
of this republic is the independent voter.
Men should be American citizens first, and
then Democrats or Republicans The best
party man. after all, is the one who re-
Dukes his party for putting up bad men.
Il do not know much about the officials
or conditions in your city, but | do know
that if there is Sunday closing law
on your statute books il is being grossly
violated. The purpose Of the Sunday law
is that honest business men can close their
stores and offices and get one days rest
in seven. 1t is not fair that honest men
should close their places of business on
Sunday and the saloons be allowed to run.
They take the laboring man with his
weeks wages and bleed him all day Sun
day and throw him over without a
cent. From business point of view the

We are not afraid Of such anarchists
as those who threw the bombs in Hay

The most dangerous form of anarchy that
we have to fear is the anarchy of public
officials who will not enforce the laws.
The city official who elects what laws he
will enforce and what laws he will not
enforce is the worst Kind 6f an anarchist.

laws would do better il they had the en-

The good people do not make the public
official feel that it is safe for him to en-
force the laws. while the saloonists. gam.
blers and plug-uglies make him feel that It
is safe for him not to enforce the laws.
and ii the official is human he is going
to do the bidding, in part at least. OF
those who make it safe Tor him to do
so.
'Onc Of the great objects OF the Anti
Saloon league is to inform the church
people on matters of political and general
public interest There are none so liz.
norant on political matters especially as
the church people, They know so little
about politics and candidates for office
that usually when they do make move
the results are disastrous for the very
cause they would advance
I'VE want to get the good people into
politics. What is politics. 1t is the sci
cnce of government. ANY man who is too
good to take part in that is too good
for this earth"
At the conclusion of DR., Bakers address
an appeal was made for the support of the
Autl-Saloon league work in Washington
and a large number of those present made
subscriptions TO the fund.
DIR. Baker is in this state primarily to
counsel with State Organizer Thoms of
Seattle regarding the work which will be
pursued by the league during the present
summer and fall in connection with the
political campaign. The general superin.
tendent believes that it is necessary to
participate in politics in a non.paitisan

the league.

THE VICTORIA SEALING FLEET IN PORT

VICTORIA. b. c., June 6.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the coast catch of
the Victoria sealing fleet was most disap-
pointing, many of them are being dis
patched to the Asiatic side of the Pacific
to pursue their perilous avocation on the
Copper islands There is peculiar rea-
son why the Victoria Sealing company,
which owns nearly all the vessels which
are being sent to the other side, expect
an unusually big catch on these islands
this year. Hitherto the operations OF the
sealers on the Asiatic coast have been ham
pered by Russian cruisers just as the oper-
atoms of the fleet in Behring sea have been
curtailed by the vigilance of United States
cruisers.
This year, however, thanks to the eff
fective manner IN which Japan is keeping
the Russian bear occupied, there can be
practically no patrol maintained along the
Copper island coast There is. therefore, no
thing to prevent the Victoria sealers from
taking pets from within limits which
would otherwise be prescribed by law and
the strong arm OF Russia naval power.
Lacking the weapon which the navy pro
vides, the law has little telrors for the
seal hunter, for he is by nature and the
necessities of his calling, poacher.
