as follows:

positive defeat OF those who have been
hostile or Indifferent to the just demands
Of labor. A stinging rebuke will benefit
not only the toilers. but the people OF

adopted by the central body also.

opened the way for an argument which
was continued till quite late hour In the
evening. The socialists In the organization
started out 10 secure an endorsement OF
their party and platform hoping thereby
10 secure greater strength at the polls. A
motion was made TO adopt the resolutions
which were adopted by the Cigar Makers
union In Providence last week. These res
olutions provided for a consolidation with
the Socialist party and when this PROPOSE
tion was made there was lively dis
cus.sion. There was plenty OF argument
on both sides and II was pretty close to
the midnight hour before vote was H.

proposition TO unite with the socialists

totaler,-a crank, if you please. l

Drink is the greatest curse, because
practically all crime and all disaster
are the result of it. Nearly every
great calamity in the country, barring
accidents of nature, are due to drink.

A COURT ROOM SCENE.

Did you ever hear of scene in

A young man is brought into court
and charged with stealing a horse.

He replies, eff I had not stolen the
horse some other man would
The court replies: "That has moth
ing to do with the question. 1t is
simple question of fact; are you guilty
or not guilty?"
The prisoner replies, "People have
always stolen horses, and always will,
and it is not fair to pitch onto me-"
The court Indignantly puts the ques-
ton the third time, "Are you guilty
or not guilty?
The prisoner answers: Suppose l
am, what are you going to do about it?
All prohibitory laws have failed. Per-
sons steal everywhere. You cannot
stop it. Prohibition is failure. Let
me tell you what I will do. If you let
me go, and give me permission to
steal, l will give you half the money

SALOON FEARS WOMAN SUI.
ERAGE.

An Ohio paper, in expressing its
opposition to the bill which proposes
to give to women the right to vote on
the saloon question, says:
'It is proposed to give women the right
to vote at local option elections in Ohio.
This is equivalent to adopting prohibition
in this state There is not county IN
Ohio that would vote wet in a contest OF
this kind. 1t would be as unfair as coun-
ty option"
TO which the Religious Telescope
aptly retorts:
This is the best possible reason why
women should be given the ballot. Why
should the saloon be thrust upon her
against her will, to the debauching OF her
husband and children and the ruin or her
homer"

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREN.
DUN,
By William e. johnson.

What is the Initiative? 1t is the |
right of given per cent. OF the voters
to call for and compel vote on any
sort of law which they wish to pro
pose. Prohibitionists want the lnitla-
tive so as to compel vote on any IL
uuor law that they see fit to ask Tor
at any election.
What is the Referendum? 1t is the
right of given per cent OF the voters,
within a reasonable length OF time, TO
demand a popular vote on any Dill
that has been passed by the legisla-
ture, or by congress or by city coun-
Gill; a petition of such voters operating
as a stay of proceedings until vote
can be had. Thus the people can veto
any crooked franchise, any rotten act
of the legislature or any steal OF con-
gress at any time they see fit. The
Referendum is merely the right OF We
to in the hands of the people just as
the right now exists in the president,
the governor or in the mayor. Prohibi-
tionists want the people to have the
right to veto crooked legislation.
We boast much of Representative
government" when we have no such
thing as representative government
except in two or three states. When
the people elect Gas they do under the
present system) an official whom they
cannot instruct, whose acts they can
not veto and whom they cannot dis
charge, they do not elect "represen-
tative," they elect ruler. They give
the ruler absolute power to inflict on
them such laws as he chooses, with
in constitutional limits, precisely as in
the case of monarchy. The people
retain absolutely no power to instruct
or to veto or undo the acts OF this
ruler. He can snap his fingers in the
voters face and they can do absolutely
nothing except to elect some other
ruler the next time.
Prohibitionists wish to change this
by adopting the Initiative and Refer
endum, restoring the final power to
the people where it belongs.
For quarter of a century, the Pro
hibition party has stood for these prin
ciples of popular government. Scarce
ly national, state or local convention
is held in which this idea is not en-
dorsed.

Sam Lewis Millions.

The death of Mrs. Sam Lewis-Hin
releases for charitable purposes two
or three million pounds in which her
late husband, the noted money lend
er, bequeathed her life interest.
Mrs. Hills first husband, the money
lender, left her the whole of his large
fortune, which was estimated at the
time to amount to $20,00O,OOO, for
her life, with the stipulation that on
her death $5,000,0Oo of it should go
to King Edwards hospital fund.
Mrs. Lewis about two years ago
married young lieutenant Of the
Scots Guards named Hill, who had to
resign from his regiment in conse-
quence Of the alliance, although the
bride sent check for $25, 900 to the
Guards charities, in vain attempt
to mollify Hills brother officers.

The worlG S greatest store OF nitro
genous plant food-the nitrate OF
Boda, or saltpetre, beds of Chile--is
expected to become exhausted within
q third Of a century. To provide a
new supply is therefore a problea
of impn6iate concern, and for a num-
Der of years electricians have been
striving to solve it by using the cleo
trio spark for oxidiziAg or fixing"
the nitrogen of the air. Experiments
at Niagara Falls, in Italy and in Ger
many have proven commercially un-
successful. Last year factory was
started at Notodden, in Norway, for
making calcium nitrate from air and
limestone by means of the electric
arc flames, and this has given results
SO promising that new works using
$4,000 horse power, will soonA be
opened. The calcium nitrate, which
proves equal to the soda saltpetre as
a fertilizer, is now produced at
factory cost of $50 per ton. A rival
process is that of Drs. Caro- and
Frank, who begin with calcium car
bide, cheap product of the electric
furnace, and by heating this already
common material red hot they cause
it to take up atmospheric nitrogen.
The new combination, of calcium
carbon and nitrogen, called calcium
cyanimide, is good end probably
economical fertilizer. A possible fu-
ture addition to our plant nitrogen
may come from saving the waste in
sewage, which now pollutes our
streams instead Of feeding our crops,
becoming finally lost in the ocean.
