Oklahoma has done it, just as expect
ed. The maiorities for Prohibition and
the constitution were large. A demo-
cratic governor and legislature to
match. After all that Taft said to
them, which they applauded, they went
and did as they pleased.
A vote of unusual significance was
that for prohibition. 1t was large, and
it unites the new state to the movement
now on foot to make that issue national
We are going to hear something on the
subject in Congress next session, ana
both of the great national conventions
will have to consider the matter when
they meet. As the case now stands, M
deed, the question of the liquor tralhc
NAV give the republicans and the demo-
Gratis more anxiety next year IN the
shaping of platforms than all the Other
issues combined.
The democrats already are confront
ed by a situation which is grave to'
them. Hitherto prohibition has neve
received the least countenance at thel
hands. But today, in a wide extent o
territory indisputably democratic, tina
policy has the strongest of holds; ano
democratic leaders of controlling loca
influence are urging that the issue 1T
made national, aud pledging the weigh
of their names to that end.
Everywhere is change. Everywher
something is doing. 1t is risky bushes
therefore at such time to be picking
candidates and naming paramount Is
sues ten mouths in advance.

The butterflies, the birds, the bees,
Nor hears the music of the breeze
When zephyrs soft are blowing
Who cannot in sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms are thick and high
Aud hear the gentle murmur nigh
Of brooklets softly flowing
God help the boy who does not know

ciduous trees are studied first for two
months, and the evergreens through
November aud December. In January,
and throughout the winter the children

branches. In February twigs are brought
to the sunny windows of the schoolroom,
where the buds soon swell and burst in
to leaf or blossom, making the children
keen for the spring days out-of-doors

The decision Of the secretary of the
treasury that Canadian dollar is thu
equivalent of the American dolla,
should set at ease the minds of street
car conductors and other timid persons
who look askance at coins bearing the

Victoria. The reluctance with which
the currency of the Dominion is accepted
in some quarters creates an entirely un-
necessary embarrassment to the party

A recent statement in behalf of the
Anti. Saloon League, suggesting the pos.
sibilty of return to prohibition in
Vermont, has called out very general
comment from the state press and to
the best of our observation and remem-
brance the expression has been absolute
ly unanimous in favor of the retention
of the present system. The latest
opinion is that expressed by the Bellows
Falls Times, and it is in line with Other
editorial expressions-which by the way,
derive added significance from the fact
that the vast majority of the Vermont
newspapers were opposed to license
