The New York Times of last Sun
Say, devotes a page to feature story
ion the prohibition movement in the
South
I The article is made up principally
of letters on the subject from lead
ing editors of the different southern
states, and is very interesting in that
i 1t indicates the very wide scope OF
the temperance movement
! The Times starts out with the gen
eral proposition, with the following
editorial expression from the Mem
kphis News Scimitar:
The South is leading this country
in moral reforms and the north IN
economic reforms. The north will
Aearn from the south and the south
from the north. The leaders in the
north who failed to read Alright the
signs of the times in the moral move
ment will straggle out of the army
of progress as have those who ignor-
led the spirit of economic reform. In
Ahe south the unbelievers in economic
advance will meet the fate of the in
hdels in the moral struggle"
Prohibition Predominates.
Il Continuing, the Times says:
I THE symposium now predominates
in most, If not in all of the southern
states. and the sweep of this great
moral momentum as to make it fair
W certain that all of that now oblit

different correspondents shows that
the movement is widespread and az
gressive in all the southern states
and the consensus of opinion seems
to be that negroes who drink large
quantities of mean whisky are at the
bottom of the general revolt.
Negro is Cause.
The Times. in summarizing, says:
"One of the chief causes of this
great temperance movement is, as you
might have guessed-the negro. 1t
is when these drink the vile, cheap
whiskies that they are must liable to
commit the crimes which the south
ern white man avenges so swiftly
and so terribly.
THE reform in many sections
seems to have had its origin in a real
ization of this menace, and, once
started, the churches and the white
women of the south, working sedu-
lously and earnestly, striving with
parishioners and with friend, with
neighbor and with the stranger, gave
the movement such an immense i'm
petus as TO have sent ii sweeping
through almost every county of every
state, and merging with it went a
great wave of religious enthusiasm
and favor"

OF the situation is Missouri the edi-

of the chief reasons, however. seems

Ona WaY to Trap a Bear.

The ways of trapping bear are nu-
merous, but there Is one old fashioned
way that amuses many. 1t is the sys-
tenn of getting a mOlasses barrel and
driving spikes around through the out
side near the open end with the points
of the spikes protruding downward
toward the bottom on the inside. A
bear will force his head into the bar
rel in the center of the circular row of
spikes and eat all the mOlasses he can
find. but when he comes to pull his
head out the points Of the spikes catch
in the fur and skin of the neck and
head and he cannot get rid Of it. The
barrel prevents his seeing. He is help

THE evil in Mobile, and one which
will surely be eradicated within the
year, is the existence of the smaller
grOgshops and dives in the negro sec
