A REFORM LEGISLATURE.


OF course. there ought to be some re
forms in the manner Of conducting th'
Oregon legislature.
some viii say that because The Jour
nal editor rendered the people his ser
vices and was left of the ticket BE
SHOULD LEAVE REFORMS TO
OTHERS. NOT so. That does not
follow, Reforms must be brought
about and no mans personal interests
transcend good government.
In the first place no reforms are
possible at the hands Of the grating
element Of any party.
There was not a single reform con
tended for BY the editor Of this pa

as though be were on the ticket, AND

Il makes little difference by whom
reforms are brought about or put into
operation, so long as the people get
results

he advocated.

phan asylums, hospitals, refugees for
the poor n destitute, built and
maintained from the proceeds of Ii
quor taxes. In Norway, many fund
reds of miles of splendid roads are
built with money derived in the
same way. l am informed that your
saloon license mere is twenty-five O
lars per year. In Roswell it is two
thousand dollars, and there are sew
Ell saloons. (Reduced to six this
year.-Ed.) If it were four thousand
dollars all over the Territory, there
would be still enough whisky old
to keep h courts busy and the peni-
pear critical, but it seems to me
that twenty-five dollars per year for
saloon licenses is almost as bad as
nothing at all; and surely one of
the first successes this organization
will ave will be to bring about a
large increase in this respect.
In closing, I only wish to d that
every possible effort is being made
as far as it lies within the power of
the executive department of the gov-
eminent to secure a strict enforce
ment of the Sunday closing law.
These efforts have in some instances
been effective. The judges and dis
trict attorneys are fully alive to the
necessity of constant vigilance in or
der to apprehend ~violators of this
law. Violations there always will be,
but if the people will help the author
tiles, whenever they get a chance to
do so, such violations can be educ
ed to a minimum, and for one will
! always welcome any authentic infor-
nation that may be sent to me and
do my utmost in cooperation with
other officials, to bring v%iolators of
this law to justice.

prietors it would be easy to esti-
mate.
I nave not time to go into the
startling significance of such figures
as these. 1t needs no effort of the
imagination to see the misery, unhap-
piness, and from a cold-bIooded point
of view the loss to legitimate bust
ness which they involve You can
abolish gambling here in Las Vegas
if you want to, and put yourselves
on record before the inevitable comes
from elsewhere. This several other
towns and cities in New Mexico have
already done, in spite OF seemingly
insurmountable difficulties and serious
opposition. No other one thing could
do more toward advancing the inter
ests of your city, of which you are
so proud and for which in other ways
you are working with might and
main. 1t is a wise man who can see
the inevitable. Why not anticipate it
and secure for yourselves the credit
of doing what you will ultimately
have to do anyway.
While gambling can and probably
will be prohibited entirely, absolute
prohibition of the sale of liquor is
doubtless impracticable. But its res
friction is not only not ~impracticabla
but has proven to be feasible in this
country n in many others. There
is nothing more legitimate in my
opinion than the heavy taxation by
| National, State or Municipal govern
ments of liquor and liquor sellers
especially if the money derived from
such taxation is used in public i'm

Many Killed In Cyclone.

Lacrosse, Wis, June 7.-Daylight
this morning revealed scene of ter
rible devastation along the path of
the Cyclone which swept Southern
Minnesota and Wisconsin last night
between Freeburg and Caledonia.
The wife and two children of Peter
Meyer were killed, six members of
tho family of G. z. Inglett injured,
some perhaps fatally, the entire
family of L. T. Kreger hurt and
scores of farm houses demolished.
Indications from present incom-
plete reports are that many others
were killed and injured near Stod-
dard, Wis. The entire Sheok family
were injured. Many bridges in the
path of the storm were swept away.

Senator Simmons, of North Caro-

last Wednesday, secured the passage
of an amendment to the post office
appropriation bill, adding 100000

pay the expense of allowing each
carrier fifteen days leave of absence,
exclusive of Sundays. This puts the

smith wlshdraws from Race.

M. L. Smith, of Camden, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, has
decided, on the advice of physicians,
not to make the race for Governor
this year, which brings the contest
down to one between M. f. Ansel of
Greenville, Richard /. Manning of
Sumter, Joel E. Brunson of Marion,
John T. Sloan of Richland, and Cole
L. Blease of Newberry, 80 far as at
present announced. All shades of
opinions regarding the whiskey ques-
tion, which is the only political issue
in South Carolina, are represented
in this list, except possibly high
license, which is the most practical
and sensible way of handling this
difficult problem seems without a
champion in this contest.
Messrs. Manning, Sloan and
Blease are for the State dispensary
system, Mr.. Brunson is for prohibit
tion, and Mr.. 4Ansel for local option
as between the dispensary and pro-
hibition. Mr.. Morgan, of Green
vile, and Mr.. Featherstone, of Lau-
rens, who have been spoken of as
candidates opposed to the dispensary,
have declined to run. This leaves
Mr.. Ansel in fair way to receive
the bulk of the anti-dispensary
strength, except that of some of
those who wish to go to the full
length of advocating and promoting
State prohibition, which is rather
too visionary to attract very large
following, as opposed to the present
system of enabling any county to es-
tablish prohibition under the Brice
law.-Spartanburg Journal.

Stimulation without Irritation.

In case of stomach and liver trouble
the proper treatment is to stimulate these
organs without irritating them. Orino
Laxative Fruit Syrup aids digestion and
stimulates the liver and bowels without
irritating these organs like pills or ordi-
nary cathartics. II does not nauseate or
grippe and is mild and pleasant to take.

left Oconee on the 10th of April.
After spending a night in the dear
old town of Charleston, s. c., we
sailed from there on the afternoon of
the 17th on the steamer Algonquin.
After a pleasant voyage of three days
we landed in New York. Here a
day and night were spent. The time
was made good use of, there being
80 many places of interest to visit.
Grants Tomb and the Art Museum
were among the places visited. Our
time being limited, we only visited
the most important.
From New York we took the Fall
River boat, which carried us to Bos-
ton. A few hours later we boarded
the train for Camden, Maine, our
destination, arriving there ON the
night of the seventh day of our jour-
ney, and just in time to witness
severe snow storm, which lasted for
several days, anu which one, having
just left the Sunny South, feels very
keenly.
Camden is busy little town of
about 10000 people, beautifully situ-
ated on the Penobscot Bay, and is a
favorite summer resort. The city
has good schools and churches. The
people are prosperous, persevering,
and wide-awake. A policeman is
not needed. How many towns of its
size can say that muchp
The beautiful scenery, for which
Maine is noted, is unequalled, with
its beautiful mountains, lakes and
islands. Shipbuilding, manufactur-

carried on throughout the State.

abound.
Since being here have caught
myself wondering several times
where all the colored people are, but,
pausing to think that l am not
'saway down South in Dixie" but in
the far-away East, am Immediately
convinced.
To-day (May 30th) is quite day
with the Northern people-memorial
day and legal holiday with all. The
day will be devoted to decorating
the graves of soldiers. This evening
one of Camden's oldest citizens will
give an address in the opera house.

apple blossoms yet. This is a late,
cold spring, but the trees are getting
green. The lawns are beautiful.

Epoker table among the pieces, which
Evans admitted getting as present
from Bluthenthal and Biokert, of
Atlanta.
The witness denied that Evans
told him he bought the big Kinard
plantation at Newberry with dispen-
sary graft, and also denied that
Evans said he used poker playing as
blind. He denied that Evans told
him that on one occasion he won
$4,000 in poker game with some
whiskey drummers. A whiskey man,
named Joe Lieb, told him that in
order to get showing he paid Evans
81 a case on several thousand cases.
The most important part of Davis
testimony was perhaps that inSoiv-
ing direct case of bribery against
two of Evans associates on the
board, John Bell Tewill and Z. w w.
Boykin. The witness said Evans
told him that he (Evans) was not
getting the proper showing for his
friends in the purchases and he and
Bridge Wilson, of the Richland Dis.
tilling Company, laid trap in which
they caught Towill and Boykin.
The witness told how Evars.
whiskey friends got Towill and Boy
kin in hotel room here, and Evons
and Wilson, standing on q table in
the hallway, peeped through tran
som, and saw the other two directors
paid the money.
E. w. Robertson, president of the
National Loan and Exchange Bank
and number of other Columbia en-
terprises, and interested as direc-
tor in number of cotton mills
throughout the State, was on the
stand to-day, and he corroborated
the testimony of L. w. Parker given
yesterday as to Samuel J. Lanahan
having directed Boykin as his State
middleman, but there was decided
difference as to what Lanahan said
about having a middleman who is
now State officer, but not con-
nected with the dispensary.
Mr.. Parker said Mr.. Lanahan's
statement was made in New York in
the presence of Mr.. Robertson, bu,
Mr.. Robertson did not remember
this and thought Mr.. Parker must

G. @. Davis, a Newberry con-
tractor, who had worked on ex- Chair
man III. III. Evans's fine new house in
Newberry, in cool and somewhat
reluctant manner, told of Evans ad-
hitting to him that on various occa.
sions he had been getting presents of
various kinds, and great wads of
money from the whiskey houses he
took care of on the dispensary pur-
chasing board.
Evans showed him on several oc-
casions big punches of greenbacks of
all sorts Of denominations, bills as
many as S3, more than one as high
as $1,000, and several of these in
each bunch.
On one occasion when the witness
told Evans certain door in the
house would better be moved, Evans
pointed to beaver hat on the floor
full of greenbacks of large donomi-
nations and asked if he did not think
that would move it.
Evans never did call it rebate or
graft, but admitted he got the cash
as well as the presents and said they
were in consideration of his services
on the board to these cases.
