PROHIBITIONS PROGRESS.
= World Glimpse Of the Battle That
IL Being Waees.

The growth OF temperance senu-
ment the world round Is remarkable.
In the United Kingdom the victory at
the polls at the last general election
was so sweeping that Sir Henry
Campbell.Bannerman has promised on
behalf OF the government TO intro
duce a great measure of temperance
reform during the session OF 1907
Throughout Canada an increasing
warfare against the drink traffic Is
continually In progress and Prince
Edwards Island Is now under COM
plete prohibition. This Is the first
British colony 70 come into line with
Maine. Kansas. North Dakota, and
the other prohibition areas In the
United Statos. In each OF the other
provinces OF Canada steady progress
Is continually reported. while In the
United States IL Is stated that over
30.O00.0 900 OF people are now living In
cities towns and districts whore
there Is no legal aale OF alcoholic H.
quors. On the continent OF Europe
the movement is always on the side
Of progress; this is most notable In
Iceland. Norway. Sweden and Den
mark. but in Germany, Switzerland
and Finland the cause has obtained
a strong hold. and In the near future
cheering reports may be expected.
In New Zealand the people have de

MINES OR SALOONS.
ceal Operators Say That the Latter
Work ill 10 Mine Workers.

A dispatch from Somerset. Pa.
says; The great coal companies OF
Western Pcnnsylvania some time ago
announced that they intended TO
crush out the saloons In the hitumin
Gus districts under their control
There are four OF the largest coal
companies engaged In this movement
Their mining property ooveis several
counties and they give employment
10 $4,000 men. They have already be

Wholesale liquor license. and In their
statements TO the court they say.
such a license injuriously Affects
the rights OF property holders I'm that
borough and does lrreparable damage
TO the coal companies. In that when
the miners receive their pay. the haul

Anywhere and everywhere that tho

CIGARETTES AND BEER.
Why They Do More Harm Than c.
CARS and Whisky.

Cigarettes do more harm than c!-
gars for the same reason that beer
does more harm than whisky. One
cigarette Will not do as much harm
as one cigar. and one glass OF beer
will not do as much harm to a person
as one glass Of whisky. But because
cigarettes are milder than strong to-
bacco. a boy or man. instead Of smok-
ing one and stopping. continues TO
smoke until a whole box Is gone and
then gets another box and keeps on
smoking.
Because beer is comparatively so
much milder than whisky. says the
National Advocate. the beer drinker
does not stop at one glass. but often
drinks many glasses In a single day.
and SO the best physicians say beer
drinking is doing our country more
harm than whisky drinking.

ORCHARD. A PRODUCT.

The Orchard testimony ought not to

tale OF a monster OF iniqnity, confess
eddy not only fend, but a coward
Orchard was also the embodmen Of a
sociological philosophy which has been
taught and advocated by good many
men who are not criminals in fact, or
will beasts at heart. Some Of the most
piou- Of men have preached the doctrine
that the relations between labor and
capital are the relations OF war, and
that those who are engaged in such a
war, especially on the side OF labor,
are right in resorting to the methods
OF war This philosophy has excused
the attempts Of some unions TO deprive
non-union men and their families Of
the right to earn their bread, while it
has looked with complacency on the de-
struction OF property and on assaults.
Its general view is that the law should
not be enforced against the soldiers Of
the fighting armies OF labor. Discussion
Of the right to kill has not been in.
dulged in, but actual killing has been
overlooked. Orchard is a pretty ex-

THAT LID"

CITY Attorney Cam poell, Of Hoqniam'
caused that town to put the lid on
Yesterday, and, according 20 reports ne
ca, upon it to zee that it did not raise ny.
Onr sister town was closed tight, under
state law passed years ago, and when
has been more observed in the breach
than compliance.
Attorney Campbell may have the best
intentions in the world yet the fact that
he has been city attorney for a long time
and has never heretofore seen fit to en-
force this Puritan law, leaves his friends
in a quandary as to bis motives. MI
Campbell owes it to those friends-and
their name is legion-to explain THIS
SPAIN. n it il something he thinks
onrht 10 be dore-a conviction OF lis
sudden urgency having come to him
his friends will be pleased to be made
aware OF the fact-with Jew reasons tor
the be,ated conviction.
So far a. Aberdeen i concerned, the
action OF the Hoquiam authorities has
but small interest It is but few years
ago. when Aberdeen put on the lid-that
h al already been partially closed in Hoo
ouiam-when. our enterpr;sing sister
city Immediately cut the hinges. lifted
the lii and threw it away. 1t will be
remem bered that up to this time the
street cars had lett Hoquiam on the last
trip at II 80 y. N. As soon a. the Abe'-
deem authorities undertook municipal
house cleaning. and Hoqniam opened
up, the car service was extended to 80
a. m. And it paid.
II Mr.. Campbell has the public inter-
est at heart, the HERALD will be with
him. Ii he is trying to get even" with
somebody somewhere, the public should
know it. Those who know Mr. Camp
pell do not for a moment believe he is
out with the "big mitt," but his belated
action will require explanation before
his friends can see it in the light he
would desire.

WEARING TROUSERS.
At One Time the Custom Was Regard
ed as irre.igous.


It will assuredly seem more than
strange that at one time and not 50
long ago, the wearing of trousers was
regarded as irreligious.
The fact that in October. 1912, an
order was made by st. Johns and
Trinity colleges that every young man
who appeared in hall or chapel in pan
falcons or trousers should be consid
cred as absent is startling enough, but
1t would appear that. eight years later
the founders of Bethel chapel at
Sheffield inserted q clause in the trust
deed ordaining that "under no circum-
stances whatever shall any preacher
be allowed to occupy The pulpit who
wears trousers"
This is striking, but It is even more
impressive to find that the Rev. Hugh
Bourne, one of the two founders Of the
Primitive Methodist ConneXion. said of
his cofounder THAT trousers wearing,
beer drinking Cloves will never get to
heavcn." And It would need student
