The Rev. R. Lin Cave incident has
exploded in Our Bob's camp. Mr..
Cave comes out in a card explaining
the interesting episode of eighteen
years ago, and declaring himself
strongly in favor of Mr.. Carmack for
the Senate. Our Bob's attitude in
this campaign on the prohibition
amendment question reminds us of the
stay-at-homes during the Civil War.
After the soldiers of the two armies
had fought to a finish the bloodiest
war of history, these stay-at-homes
were the unTeconcilables whom moth
ing could pacify They wanted to
burn Lee and Grant in effigy for ever
agreeing to quit and tried their best
to sick the boys on to another scrap.
After it was all over, and the smell of
powder was all gone, they suddenly
got mad as hornets. 1t is even so
with Our Bob" When the prohibit
ton amendment was up, like Uncle
Remus rabbit, "he lay low" He never
spoke a word for or against it, and
though he said he voted for it, when
the record was pulled on him he own
ed up that he didn't. But it makes
Bob mad beyond measure to hear of
any one else who wabbled on the gud-
geon "endurin' of that campaign. The
Rev. Dr. Cave, and the Hon. u. w.
Ewing, both of whom spoke and labor.
ed for the amendment proposition,
have fully forgiven and had almost
forgotten Mr.. Carmack's difference
with them; but Our Bobbie," who
never fired shot or cast vote and
actually had to be shown before he
would admit where he was at, is ter
ribly wrought up and refuses to be
because Mr.. Carmack
did not ride the water wag-
on some eighteen years ago. Roberts |
are sometimes somewhat |
assinine, and the people are beginning
to regard him as great big joke. 1t |

grimaces and lapsus linguae, whether |
the distinguished platform entertainer |

A number of eminent English ply
sicians have made the following state
ment in reference to sleep for boys,
especially school boys: "The harm
done by giving too little sleep to boys
is not only that it lessons their power
of fixing their attention on work, and
causes slackness and WEAKNESS in
games, but it is a definite factor in the
causation of intellectual inefficiency,
which may be far-reaching in its eff
fects. 1t is held by those who have
paid special attention to the subiec:

Terrible Teddy is up against it..
His blaze of glory is on the wane.
He faces the angry frown of a divid-
ed party. Revolution is in the ranks.
The New York World says: There
have been five Presidents of the Unit
ed States from New York Four of
them meddled with State politics.
Three of them pulled political disaster
down upon the heads of themselves
and their party. Mr.. Roosevelt is
only beginning to reap his reward
Van Buren, interfered in New York af-
fairs, and was succeeded by a Wing
Arthur interfered, and made Grover
Cleveland President. Cleveland in
terfered and the pieces of the Dem
ocratic party have not stuck together
yet. The more Mr.. Roosevelt NEEDLES
in State affairs, the more precarious
is the position of every Republican
member of Congress. To many of
them it has become a question of
hanging together or being hanged
separately. An instruction was in
evitable. Congress is not yet fully

therhood. At times it distinctly re.

ed it to be one of the coordinate
branches of the Government.

The Y M. c. A. opening Monday
evening was all that it's friends could
have hoped for or desired for it. The
rooms were crowded with visitors, the
music was delightful and the most per-
feet bonhomie prevailed. There were
those present from all parts of the
city, and from all the walks of life;
there were new acquaintance made
which will ripen in friendship; there
was an inspiration and earnestness
given to the work which will rebound
greatly to its good. Young and old,
rich and poor, the high and the lowly
met upon the common plane of broth
erhood; they all entered and took pos
session of the building as their own.
And it is. 1t is the one enterprise in
Columbia which belongs to the people.
No clique or class, no sect or creed,
can or should dominate it. 1t is of
the people, and for the people, and

where any man, young or old, may go

is enjoyed it will grow and prosper

Fool SALOON KEEPERS.

A wife and children have been
awarded $17,5OO damages against
three Chicago saloon keepers who per-
sisted in the face of her pleadings and
statutory warnings in selling liquor
to the husband and father. In COM
menting on the verdict, and commend
ing it, the Inter Ocean says: THE
liquor traffic on the theory that it is
possible for the average man to drink
without excess seriously harmful to
himself or dependents-that the ay-
erage man can refresh or amuse him
self by drinking without wasting his
estate and injuring society by making
himself and his family a burden upon
it. However, social custom and posi-
tive law have long since recognized
that there are men who cannot be
trusted to refrain from injuring them
selves, their families, and society by
their excuses, and for the protection
of those so injured, or likely to be, re-
straints have been devised for such
men and against those who prey upon
their weakness. To prevent the idiot
or drunkard from wasting his proper
ty the law long ago began to step in
and place him under guardianship by
appointing a conservator for his es-
tate. Then it was recognized that the
skill and laborer's strength
are also estates which he ought not
be permitted to waste. Hence the
laws imposing penalties on liquor
dealers who, after proper warning, as
sist in such waste"

"Trotwood's Monthly" for February
is out, and among other good things is
most excellent article by Mr. ]. F.
Brownlow, Of this city, suggesting "A
Plan for Monetary Relief" The arti-
Gle is thoroughly well considered and
well expressed, and if Mr. Roosevelt
and his satellites were looking for
some plain, simple, practical way to
give relief to the business interests of
the country, Mr.. Rrownlow's plan
would commend itself. But that is
very far from the Administration idea.
Their first idea is to take care of
Wall street; and Mr.. Brownlow's idea
does not do that, And the Admins
tration idea is to keep New York City
the money centre of America; and Mr..
Brownlow's plan would effectuately
knock that idea all to pieces. Mr..
Brownlow's plan is too Democratic; it's
relief is too quick and it passes over
the heads of the money kings too di-
rectly into the hands of the people,
for an Administration party, whose
aim and purpose in life is to serve the
interests of the trusts and combines,
to give it favorable consideration. The
difference between Joe Brownlow and
Theodore Roosevelt is that the first
named means wnar he says, and the
last named never does. He talks for

WHY THE SALOON LIVES.

We want the vote OF the churcn
registered against the saloon. When
in 1852 the anti-slavery men polled
$4,000 votes for John P. Hale, they
forced the Anti-Slavery issue into
American politics where it stayed until
slavery was destroyed. When the
Populists gave ]. B. Weaver 1,122,O4S
votes, for free silver in 1892. they COM
PEELED the recognition Of their cause
and made it necessary for the Ameri-
can people to face that as the domin-
ant issue for eight years. Though
the people believed the doctrine
wrong, and finally buried it, yet they
were compelled to reckon with it so
long as a million of men demanded
such recognition.
More than five millions of American
voters at one time or another by
their ballots expressed their desire
for prohibition, and yet because they
have been kept asunder by the tricks
of politicians and by parties enslaved
to the rum power, these voters are
not allowed to consider this issue at
all, nor are they ever permitted to
Zine up" against the saloon.-Dr. E.

THE STATE FUND.

1t amounts, at this writing to $4,000.
We find that some suppose that this
entire amount has been paid or will
be paid into the state treasury. This
is a mistake. 1t includes all amounts
paid or pledged to the State Commit
tee since Nov. 1, 1904 and also all
amounts secured through the efforts
of the State Committees field men
even though they are paid to county
or legislative district committees and
are being expended by them.
Perhaps we ought to add that so
much of the Fund as comes into the
state treasury is being expended as
soon as it arrives or sooner. These
dollars are contributed not to be
stored but to be used in making votes.
The Fund" therefore is usually
minus quantity, myth.
In fact, there is no respect In which
the officers of the State Committee
show more grit than in keeping things
going while funds are being raised or
while our pledgors are earning what
they have pledged. Just now, for in
stance, in the heat Of this splendid
campaign and with matchless oppor-
tunities opening on every side, the
Committee is greatly pressed for
means With the crop here and cleo
tion-day near, we look to our friends
to stand by, both with new pledges
and by the early payment of those
already on the Committees books.

THE SOURCE OF GRAFT.

The Indictment against the Repup-
lican and Democratic parties is not
that they have not many good men In
them, but that both rely upon the cor
rupting spoils system for existence
and neither presents an issue upon
which the people may rally for the
publication of our politics and the
uplifting of our social and civic life
Their appeal for support is to the pre-
iudice and selfishness of men, not to
their intelligence and patriotism.
Where politics are thus reduced to the
low plane of strategems and spolls,
corruption and graft are consequential
inevitable. Prohibition Pat
form.

WHAT CAN WOMEN AND MINORS
DO?

They can cheer up and cheer on
their Prohibition fathers, brothers,
husbands, sons and lovers. A wOman's
cheer has made hero of many man
who would have failed or won indif-
ferent success. What Secretary Cal
derwood aptly terms "the spark of
hope" is the need of the hour both
in our own ranks and among men in
the other parties who would now do
great things if they thought they could
and could if they would.
Non-voters can rally the people to
our meetings. They can solicit sub
scriptions for our papers. They can
address envelopes and fold and dis
tribute literature. Many of them can
earn and contribute money or induce
others to do so. And this is only a
beginning.
