Senator Foraker has announced
that he will propose an amendment
to The omnibus statehood bill requlr-
ing the ratification Of new state
constitutions by a majority Of the
citizens Of each territory separately.
Filibustering in the senate is
ordinarily a reprehensible business,
but the justice of Mr.. Foraker's
contention in this instance is such
that it is hoped he may defeat the
statehood bill altogether unless the
amendment is agreed to 1t is an
outrage that New Mexico and
Arizona should be joined against
their Wills.

RACK TO ARcADY.

"Baok To Already" is 4 pleasing
literary pastel by Rev. Frank Waller
Allen, OF Odessa, done insoa hand
somely printed book OF one hundred
and fifty pages by the Herbert X.
Turner Company, OF Boston. An
evidence OF a daring disposition this,
that MIR. Allen in his first liteIar
venture should have essayed n Of
the most din1cult forms OF literary
composition. In the motive type Of
romance. by consent Of critics, great
blotches Of color, II not too outrage
ously misplaced, and much rough
%jOurneyman work 10 main body Of the
story are admissible aud treated with
indulgence. But still-life studies
are considered very bad, unless they
are very gOOd-which is rare, In the
type Of composition to which Back to
Already belongs nothing short Of per-
fiction of phrase aud Photographic
accuracy Of conception is expeoted.
There is so little Of violent, complex
movement 10 such stories that the
authors concept is judged by the
standard Of a time exposure and nGC
of a snap shot. 10 default OF stirring
movement the phrases are expected TO
fall lightly into kaleidoscope spaug-
les, whose mellow spleudor is neither
obviously dependent upon the thought
content nor obviously independent OF
it. Richness Of emotional experience,
age (which brings the philosophic
mind" and laultless rhetoric Of a
subdued and soothing kind are sup
posed indispensables,
Flattery is a cOwardly unkindness;
and praise without qualification Of an
ambitious first literary effort would be
an injustice which the author himself
would not appreciate. But 1t is not
too much to say that the author has
succeeded surprisingly we'll. II My
Lady O'Roses is a triie dim, the old
bachelor is as clear cut Is Adam in
The Kentucky Cardinal or the culate
10 The Choir Invisible. And while
to freshen the Imagery Of the narrative
the author has occasionally strained
a word or a figure or a phrase, the
craftsmanship In composition is wor'
thy OF high praise.

Many changes 10 football rules are
being proposed, some Of a radical
character, to save the game from the
wrath of the people and of legisla
lures. One of the changes proposed
is to require ten yards gain in four
downs. Such a gain could hardly be
made by live smashes, If the teams
are closely matched. This change, it
is thought, would insure a more open
game and more punting. Another
changed proposed is to do away with
the touch down and require field
goals made from the twenty yard
line.

Congressman Ellis Of Kansas City,
who was ridiculed by the Washington
correspondents for his freshness in
asking to be appointed on the Rivers
and Harbors committee, has turned
the laugh by getting the place. 1t
is very rare for a new member to get
so important an assignment. But
doubtless the republicans think that
the Kansas City district is a good
field to cultivate just now; and 1t is,
unless democratic %factionalism ceases.

FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1905.

The following editorial concerning the
South Carolina Dispensary system is
from the New York Sun Of the 10th
inst.
Recently in returning from Florida
we stopped number of days at
Columbia, S. c., and whilst there
visited the State dispensary building
where all liquors are collected and fur
nished to the different local dispensaries
of the State. This is a very large brick
building with railroad tracks leading to
it to facilitate the handling of liquors.
1t employs about one hundred and
twenty-five persons and is evidently con-
Quoted in a thorough business manner.
Understanding that / was from Yer
mont they gave me every facility to
examine the building and the methods
in which the business is conducted.
was also furnished with complete liter
allure in regard to this law and its
operation since its adoption in South
Carolina including the different acts and
amendments passed by the legislature.
had considerable conversation with
several of the gentlemen connected with
the management who reported that the
law in the main was being well en-
forced throughout the State, and, as
they thought, was Satisfactory to large
majority of the citizens.
The opponents to it were the liquor
interests, more especially those who
wished to sell and get the profits from
the sale, and few of the more ex-
IRENE temperance men who preferred
or thought they did, a prohibitory law,
and certain politicians who are out of
Office and anxious to get in.
In regard to the enforcement of the
law these gentlemen said the most
serious difficulty they had came from
the U. S. laws regulating interstate COM
merce, which under certain conditions
protected the liquor Of those engaged
in its unlawful sale from seizure by
State officials, until this liquor arrived
at its destination and the original
packages were broken. l referred to
statements made in the Voice of Chicago
that those selling illegally were largely
furnished with their liquors by the
Dispensaries. They said that was not
SO. That they got their liquors in the
way mentioned above and were enabled
to do it owing to the U. S, laws regu-
lating interstate commerce. They re-
ferred to an account which l had
noticed day or two before in Column
bia paper of man and his team trans
porting load of liquor who was killed
by the cars. This liquor they said he
was drawing from outside the state for
the party in Columbia who did the
largest business in illegal selling. But
this illegal selling they said was being
more and more reduced to minimum.
The attack made upon the system by
Ex-senator McLaurin which appears in
the editorial from the Sun is wholly a
matter of politics. The law was intro
duced by Senator Tillman of whom Mr..
McLaurin is very active rival. Mr..
McLaurin has large amount of talent,
as is evident in his appeal to local
patriotism, and extreme temperance feel,
ing. But as is suggested by the Sun, we
believe the effort will fail, as the large
majority of the people understand per-
fectly well that Senator Tillman is ex-
