PROHIBITION LEGISLATION.
If Vote is Obtained 1t Always Goes
Through

When Congress gets squarely up against
a proposition relating to the liquor traffic
the prohibition or restrictive element al
ways wins. When the proposition to pre-
vent the sale of liquor on military reser-
vations was first attempted people laughed
at the absurdity of it, especially the aboli-
ton of post exchanges better known as
"canteens." But it passed. BY shrewd
construction of the law 1t was ignored for
two or three years. Then a stronger and
more drastic provision was drawn and
in such terms that it could not be avoided
and 1t went into effect. The law not only
stopped the sale of liquor in canteens, but
1t also affected the officers clubs and these
had to abandon liquors of all kinds The
time was when all kinds OF liquors were
sold In the Senate and House restaurants.
Senator Quay secured the passage OF a res
olution stopping such sale in the Senate
wing OF the Capitol, and Representative
Charles B. Lands of Indiana had a pro
VISION inserted in appropriation bill
which stopped the sale of liquor in the
capitol and all other public buildings. Re-
Gently the House has abolished the canteens
IN national soldiers homes and no more
LIQUOR is to be sold to the old soldiers
Representative Weber, the prohibition
republican from Ohio, has been scheduled
to secure law prohibiting the sale of Iq-
uer IN the District Of Columbia. No doubt
ne could secure votes enough to pass such
a measure Ii he could ever get ii before
Congress The difficulty Is to get bill
or this kind before the members SO they
have 70 vote yes or no on the question.
Then there is the Hepburn Dolliver bill
which proposes to make liquor shipped by
Interstate commerce from one state to an
other subject to the laws of the state
where 1t Is shipped This is intended to
meet the original package decision which
Allows hquor shipped in original packages

It would pass so quickly that it would shock
the liquor interests.
Another bill which would pass If vote
Its the granting of government internal rev.
eEue licenses In states and communities
that prohibit the sale of liquor The idea
OF this legislation Is that the government
would not be lenient with those who vio-
lated its laws and sold liquor without
licenses. Government agents would know
where liquor was shipped and where 1t was
sold. Dealers would hesitate about vio-
lating government laws for 1t would mean

gress- consequently 1t Is not passed

are Invariably verbal. The cabinet minis

point Of fact an elaborate lecture for de-
livery to an audience consisting of this i'm

feet In form and logic and In language.
The emperor is a severe critic and shows
no mercy to those who cannot explain mat
tiers to him in straightforward, correct Ian
guaSe and in a manner which enables him
to grasp all the essential details of the
subject. When the kaiser fails to under
stand any particular point he interposes
terse questions In his rapid, nervous man
ner and the reporting minister must be
able to reply to them with dexterous &C.
lerity.
The kaiser receives a vast number of
such verbal reports every day and ar
ranges them In all sorts of odd places
One report will be delivered to him while
he is dressing, second while he is break
fasting. After breakfast he dashes by
motor car to the Grunewald Forest on the
outskirts of Berlin, where he takes his

the automobile he will listen to third re-

narrative so that you will not understand
a word Of what he is saying If the plot
Is intricate, you will almost pity him as he
tries vainly to gather up the threads of the
story and bring you to the end. The per-
son with monomania for concerts belongs
to the same class. When he huns the
motive of some symphonic poem 1t is diff
hcult for the courteous listener to know
how to signify his appreciation and yet
conceal his dismay.
These objections are doubtless marks OF
cross grained and surly disposition, and
We may be reminded that these hobbies re-
lieve hard-worked men and women from
the wear and tear of life. 1t is indeed to
be hoped that such is the case. There
ought to be some compensation for the
wear and tear of those who have to endure
the man with a hobby.

Want to Be Smart.

From the Southern Workman.
The craving of the Alaskan Indians for
education is almost pitiable. Ask them what
they need and the answer is the same:
Schools for the children so that they
may become smart like the white men,"
They are very affeetionate people to their
children; every benefit is for the child
The older people fully realize the fact that
they represent the past. They have always
been producers, and their faith in them
selves is half of the struggle that lies be-
fore them. To this end they should be pro-
vided with day schools in all of the viii
lagos of a hundred or more adults.
In some sections where the families are
distributed over a large area of country
and in the case of the children of parents
unable to provide for their support and
again where orphans may be. enslaved by
distant relatives, boarding schools or homes
are equally necessary.

Prince Buelow has been the principal suf-
ferer from the necessity Of attending these

In office he has been present at hundreds

Wore Out His Finger.

Fr1m the Denver News.
There is a brakeman on the Colorado
Midland railroad who years ago lost his
index finger on his right hand. One day
recently a lady passenger who had been
much interested in the wonderful work of
nature the brakeman had pointed out ID
her along the road noticed the stub finger.
When the conductor came through the
car she said to him:
Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me how
the brakeman lost his forefinger? He
seems to be such an accommodating fell

Yes. mum; that's just It. He is so ac-
commodating that he wore that finger of

The case of the unfortunate Prince Bue-
low is good example of German ministers
sufferings When the kaiser is in residence
in Berlin he is in the habit of calling at
Prince Buelow's official residence in the
Wiihelmstrasse Immediately after termi-
mating his morning walk in the Grunewald
forest. At this early hour Prince Buelow
must be fully prepared to lay before his i'm
perial sovereign a comprehensive report on
all current foreign and home affairs. The
necessity of having this report ready in
time for the emperor compels him to inter-
rupt his nights rest at impossible hours in
order to go through the latest dispatches
and acquire the information which he must
inpart to the kaiser. When important de-
veiopments occur during the day the en-
peror must be Immediately informed. and
his majesty then frequently summons the
chancellor in great haste to the palace in
order to explain all the intricate details of
these developments The chancellor must
then abandon his pressing duties. don his
gale costume and dash off at high speed to

men are submitted, owing to the strenuous
habits of their monarch. The kaiser has
been known to order a cabinet minister to
go fox hunting with him aand to submit
report to him while riding hard behind the
nourds. AS the minister in question was
portly bureaucrat with little knowledge
of horsemanship. and none whatever of fox
hurting, his agonies were pitiable.

1t is not only hard work and constant
hustlng that reduce the kaiser's political
servants to a condition of collapse. Their
social and ornamental duties are quite as
serious strain on their energies as their
administrative and legislative activity The
splendor and magnificence of the German
emperors court have been unequaled for
many centuries The pomp and display of
oriental potentates are nothing to the en-
vironment of majesty with which William
II surrounds himself. One must go back
to the ancient Byzantine empire to find a
similar degree of personal subservience to
the monarch. All the satellites of the Ger
man court must in truth revolye round the
imperial sun. The emperor revels in COR
geous and luxurious display, in which his
ministers and exalted digntaries are
obliged to participate. Hardly day passes
without some great court or social func-
ton The kaiser frequently holds a mill
tary review in the early morning lays the
foundation stone of a scientific institution
in the forenoon, dedicates a church at noon,
inspects art gallery in full state in the
afternoon, gives an official banquet in the
evening, and winds up the day with a gala
