TON AMENDMENT,

w. B. Eakin, field worker and organ
izer of the Prohibition Alliance, with
headquarters in Spokane, will hold a
great temperance mass meeting at the
First Methodist church Sunday after
noon at o'clock that is expected to
arouse interest in the fight the anti
saloon workers have launched against
the Washington State Liquor Dealers
association, and which it is declared
will be made one of the main is
sues during the state campaign this
fall. Mr.. Eakin's address Sunday af-
ternOOn will be the opening gun of the
fight the prohibitionists will wage in
Walla Walla county this fall for con-
troll of the legislative delegation from
this district.
Take Up Oregon Fight.
From Walla Walla Mr.. Eakin will
go to Pendleton and assist for week
the state secretary of the Oregon Alli-
ance in fighting the local option

to be voted on this fall. The local
option law as enforced in Oregon at

to certain business interests and de-

to a movement looking toward the re-
peal of the law will be made.

Francisco disaster has been a great
object lesson in the cause of temper
ance. at has been proven that a city
without saloons is a city without
| Crimes" Mr. Eakin declared this morn
| ing. "In recent issue of the San
Francisco Call, the editor declares that
the absence of violent crime in that
| city following the earthquake is an
absolute demonstration that the saloons

j mayor issued an order that the saloons

definitely '"The order that has been
maintained here s.. y is attributed

fact that no one, noe even licensed
druggists, has been allowed to dispense

High License Means High Crime.
Let the people of this country notice
that here we have a great city under
absolute prohibition of the liquor traffic
and practically free from all violent
crime. Furthermore, let them remem-
Der that the editor of great daily pa
per, not noted for prohibition cranki-
ness, declares that it is an absolute
demonstration that the saloons are re-
sponsible for all crimes of violence
''These authorities go further and
TeCOHlIleIlu lHdt hereafter the people
should not be taxed to pay for expens-
es accruing for crimes for which the
liquor business is responsible. Let us
note further that these remarkable re-
suits were reached not under high Ii
cense or any license, but under the
most rigid prohibition regime. High
license means high crime and prohibit
ton means the absence of violent
cisco.
1T is devoutly to be hoped that these
great lessons may not soon be forgot

A Scientific Explanation.

The scientists are busy with explain
aticns of what happened when San
Francisco was rocked into ruins and
they have little difficulty in tracing the
connection of the awful seismic dis
turbances on our Pacific coast with the
recent destructive activity of Vesuvius.
The scientists are not always right.
but they are apt to be nearer right
than the rest of us. TO the geologist
the old earth is d book and in it's pages
he not only reads the record of count
less ages that are gone, but then he al
so finds the explanation of things as we
know them today and the prophecy of
things to happen long centuries after
we have returned to the dust from
whence we came. The geologists have
long known that there is a belt of sub
terranean activity wich extends from
Italy through the Caribbean. across
Central America. touches San Francis
co and then plunges across the Pacific
to Japan. where the perturbations are
most noted.
While the data upon which to base
conclusions are in all respects light
still there is general impression
among scientific observers that beneath
the cold. thin shell of earth and stone
and the inner molten mass which is
more solid than steel. there exists q
primeval molten masses are still act
i've. We all know that there are vol
canoes and this simply means that in
accordance with the law of the least
resistance mountain peaks give a fine
vent for the gases and fires of the sub
terranean forces. In the present case
we know that Vesuvius gave forth
immense quantities of steam. This in
dicated to the geoIogists that the floor
of the ocean had broken some
where and that steam was pro-
duced in way that demand
ed an outlet. A weeks belch-
ing of steam. lava and ashes must have
produced somewhere in the secondary
substrata a vacuum which was COM
pensated for by a settling of the floor
Of the earth. Apparently. this weak
spot was in or near the city of San
Francisco. 1t may be that this ex-
PLANTATION is not a true one. but it is
correct from the point of view of the
scientist. There is ever a correlation
between forces inside the earth as well
as on the surface or in the illimitable
ether.

An Argument for Temperance.

There are many good arguments foi
ing among them is the size of the nae
tion's annual drink bill. This bill is
staggering thing in more senses thai
one and it grows greater every year
The official figures just compiled for the
year ending July /. 1905. show that the
stupendous total of s1,54S,00O,0O0 was
spent for stimulating drinks. Ihis
includes the money spent for tea anu
coffee hut at the risk of offending
lot of good people it is to be remarheo
that there is vast amount OF ln'eih-
perance in the use of tea and coiee
and a vast amount of harm resui''he
from their use. No less than s1.54s'-
ooo ooo spent i'm this country in a SIN
gle year for drink, and by FAR tile ii'os'
of it spent needlessly and inJurlousS
II is almost four times as much as the
.o.., valuation of Maine according to
tbe latest figures of the state asses
sOrs 1t is over ~ tiiheS "
money az is deposited in the 81 saw
ines banks of Maine.
It may appear to be easy enough 10
minimize this sum in appearance py
saving that it is less than $40 year
Tn everv inhabitant of the country.
That is less than six cents a day.
Oupht we not to be able to afford
that? However. it is really in aggre-
gates that this question of self-indul-
gence should be regarded. 1t is vast
sum to pay for what is practically use
less. The mere increase in an ex-
penditure for stimulants and sedatives
in 1905 over what we paid for them In
1901, s275,OOO.O00. if set aside for the
of schools, libraries and
museums, would have put all the ben
efactions of our rich men to shame.
If every person in the country were
to forego stimulants for but one sin
gle day, and put the cost of its bev-
erage for that one day into a common
fund, an amount greater than 100000
would be realized-and every indi-
yidual would be the better off for hav
ing intermitted the stimulants Viewed
from any point, the nations drink bill
is a prodigious extravaganza. 1t is a
waste Of more than money-it is, on
the whole. an awful squandering of
Drawn, and brain, and energy, ana
good fellowship. The only argument
that ingenuity can possibly extort
from the figures is a temperance drgu-
ment.

Stamps for the Philippines.

|
Just at present the national bureau of
engraving and printing is busy in get
ting out a new issue of Philippines, an
xs,,e which is of much interest to the
people of the Philippines. and for
which the philatelists the world over
are eagerly waiting. 1t is said to be
more artistic and attractive than the
current United States stamps. The de-
signs from centavos to 80 centavos
are uniform except for the different
portraits. In the upper left hand cor
ner are the words philippine Islands"
and in the upper right hand corner the
words United States of america" I"
At the bottom the denomination in
figure and word. large shield oc-
cupies the center of the stamp within
which in each stamp is the portrait
Above the portrait and shield and be-
eagle with outstretched wings. The
designs for the one and two peso
stamps are similar except that the coat
of arms of the Philippines occupies the
space within the shield instead of a
portrait.
The colors from the lowest denornina-
ton to the highest in order are green.
red, violet, brown, blue. carmine. dark
lavender brown. black and olive. The
portraits upon them are those of Rial.
Mckinley. Magellan, Legaspi. Law
ton. Lincoln, Sampson, Washington,
Carriedo and Franklin. Truly nota-
BILE combination of Philippine and
American heroes of both former and
later days For the benefit Of the anti
imperialists, it may be explained that
the Washington upon the 20 centavos is
the American Washington and not
Aguinaldo. The special delivery stamp
will be of the same size and color as
the current United States stamp. The
design prepared was rejected because
of the scant attire of the native Filipino
charged with the dispatch of the letter
as he was depicted on the stamp. The
engravers at the bureau of engraving
and printing are now at work putting
clothes on the Filipino messenger boy.
and this will occasion delay of few
weeks in the delivery Of the special de-
livery stamps. These stamps will be
in general use in the Philippines, but of
course our own stamps as at the pres
ent time will be used to send mail from
this country to the island, and few of
us will ever see the Philippine stamps
except as some enthusiastic collector
gets together a series for his album.

A. paragraph has been going the
rounds of the newspapers of late re-
garding the State flag of Alabama. 1t
is stated that this flag. which consists
of a St Andrews cross of crimson upon
white field, floats continuously above
the capitol at Montgomery. and some Of
the papers have commented upon it as
very unusual thing for a state to
thus float a flag of its own. The cir
cumstanCe that the national flag is not
associated with the state flag at Mont
gomery is interesting. to be sure. but
it is hardly worth criticizing or con-
demning. since the capitol Is not a ma
tional building. and IL Alabama pre-
fers to float its state flag instead of the
Stars and Stripes on its state capitol.
there is no occasion for any particular
protest. AS a matter of fact nearly
all states have flags of their own
though few Of them are in general use.
