CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
HERE'S TO TILLMANl /

w HAT a commentary on the
w decadence of the spirit of con-
W viviality in the south when a
senator from one of the states which
figured in that historic gubernatorial
drinks" asks congress to take steps
toward the curtailment of the COM
merce in liquors? Thus does Senator
Tillman of South Carolina stamp the
seal of his disapproval upon an
iniquity once understood to enjoy some
popularity in Interstate relations be-
tween the two Carolinas.
Senator TilIman aims TO prevent cir
cumventions of state prohibitory laws.
South Carolina has state dispensary
lew, which, If enforced. makes it inn
possible for person to obtain intoxi-
eating liquor by the glass and prohibits
the sale of liquor in any quantity to be
drunk upon the premises upon which it
is sold. North Carolina has a local
option law which tends toward total
prohibition. The great obstacle to the
enforcement of the law in either state
Is to be found in the operation of the
express companies, which flood these
states, and other southern states hav-
ing prohibitory laws, with liquor billed
&C o. D." The resolution introduced
by Senator Tillman calls for an inves-
tigation into the possibilities of leg
islation enabling state authorities to
exercise their police power to keep
liquor out of the state, and "to prevent
the encoura cement by the United
States government of Illicit dealing
in the same"
Senator Tillmans course should be
applauded by every believer in temper
ance and total abstinence. 1t should
be indorsed by every person who be-
lieves that states should not be ham,
pered by the federal government in
their efforts to regulate vice in any
form. 1t emphasizes the progress of the
times toward sobrfety. 1t is step to-
ward relegating to the vague past a
famous Jest which, though all under
stand and appreciate its lightness, i'll
fits two of the foremost leaders in the
struggle for the curbing of the liquor
traffic
Here's to Senator Tillman! May it
be a longer time than ever between
drinks in the good states of North Car
olina and South Carolina!

II OS ANGELES is an admirable Ameri-
can city. It does not admit that the
= saloon is necessarily the center of
the civic and political universe and that
the church is only poor satellite revolv-
ing Intellectually in a narrow sphere she'd
ding pale CLEANS one day in the week,
while the saloon rides in royal splendor
from the birth of each new year to trc
death of the old. Los Angeles has redsccd
the saloon to reasonable regulation, has
assigned 1t a definite place and made 1t
keep it. To the church 1t has given IA re-
spectful hearing in such affairs as COM
cern the community life,
Nor has Los Angeles been content mere
ly to regulate an irrepressible evil. 1t has
set on foot n movement to counteract its
baneful influence. In the heart of the
most dreary and congested" district in
the city, where saloons are numerous and
vice haunts the day as well as the night,
the people of Los Angeles have deter
mined to establish recreation center; a
clean, reputable place where young and
old may go to find amusement not beset
with ribaldry and moral dirt There is to
be erected handsome building costing
$4,000, containing gymnasium, baths.
bowling alleys, club rooms a regulation
running track, an assembly hall and
stage, and, for the accommodation of the
caretaker there is to be a five-room fiat.
A manual training department is also
to be established. The expense is to be
borne partly by public tax and partly
by private subscription.
The thought behind this movement is
that it is cheaper to maintain recreation
centers than jails, better to direct the
natural impulses of human kind than to
stife them. The influence of the Protest
ant church especially has hitherto erred
on the side of striving to smother innate
human tendencies lest harm come of
them. You shall not play cards, you
shall not dance, you shall not attend any
thing called a theater you shall not.
she'll not, shall not'-ever has that warn
ing voice been ringing in the ear. On
the other hand, the saloon, the cheap and
nasty SHOW" and the red light district
have said to the youth of the land, Come

THE CRY FOR JUSTICE

TF a small percentage of the money
apportioned as dividends by the
Il coal trust had been applied to
perfecting the underground workings
of it's Pennsylvania and West Virginia
mines the Monongah and Jacobs Creek
catastrophies probably would not have
occurred. In less than three weeks
nearly 900 men have gone to a sudden
and awful death as the result of GRIM
inal negligence on the part of some
body. When. the responsible parties
are identified the full penalties of the
law should be inflicted upon them.
The coal trusts operations are pc
culiarly exasperating and onerous, and
in view of the attitude of the "barons"
in control few will be found to SYM
pathize with them If justice is meted
out to them, If Investigations disclose
their culpability in connection with
the two great tragedies of late

Attorney General Bonaparte is the
latest man to be mentioned as Presi-
dent Roosevelt's successor The main
plank in the platform on which his
admirers would have him stand has
reference to the determination of
American criminals, great and small.
That is good doctrine, but the asylum
fer life" theory of the man back of the
movement, most of whom are physi-
clans, Is liable to produce too much of
a scare. Why not advocate standing
all criminals in row with their faces
to a wall, after the Spanish military
plan? Or, better yet, sentence them to
spend their lives in Salem, Ore?

HORSE SHOW WEEK

And now the horse show season
Has come around once more,
And maids and stately matrons
Are buying clothes galore.
The Fussanfeather sisters 4N
Are buying hair in chunks,
And gowns that cost a thousand,
And hats for eighty plunks
They'll perch up in the boxes.
At everybody stare.
And think he showd be better

Will blossom like the rose;
Some go to see the opening,
But all to see the clothes.
