THE GOOD MAN THEORY.

when conscience calls for clean
candidate it ought to call as loudly
for a clean party said Chairman
lockwood of the Philadelphia Prohl-
bition City Committee, when asked
why his party would not endorse can
didates of other parties who agree next
April to support a local option bill In
the Legislature if elected.
1--WE Prohibitionists do not believe
in non-partisan politics. We think
that voting for good men in license
parties is most unfortunate He adj
ded that the great trouble in the
dominant plitical parties is that their
candidates have friends in both
church and saloon, whereas the aver
age Prohibitionist can be relied upon
not to have many friends in the liquor
business.

THE CALL TO BATTLE.

National Chairman Chas. r. Jones,
in a stirring appeal to the Prohibi-
tionists of the nation, emphasizes the
fact that what the effect Of the ma
tional convention at Columbus will be
"depends on what we do in the next
thirty weeks to make it historic and
to rally the now scattered and disor-
ganized forces of Prohibition under
one common banner for the annihila-
ton of the drink traffic"
1--WE are in the flood tide of a great
moral awakening" he says. THE one
danger is that all this God-inspired en-
thusiasm will spend itself in easy COM
promise The only way to kill the liquor
traffic is to anihilate it nationally by an
org anizecN political union of American pa
recognized political movement which is
backing that great truth is the Prohibi
ton party.

LAw.ENFoRcING PARTY NEEDED.

DIR. H. J. Hail. an experienced WORK
er and for fifteen years state cnalr'
man of Indiana, writes the Phalanx:
"In our judgment there is immedi'
ate danger ahead to the Prohibition
cause and party by the uprising OF
the people, that will result in trying
to take a short cut to secure proh1Dl-
ton of the liquor traffic in non
partisan way. For many years it has
been the general understanding IN the
Prohibition party that we are not par
ticular how prohibition comes only
so it comes in such way as to stay.
1T is we'll for the citizens OF Indiana
tn remember that our fair state, as
we'll as other states around us, mad
prohibition laws abolishing the saloon
fifty years ago and the chief reason
those laws were repealed and declared
void was because a political party
was in power that was not in favor
of the law that had been passed, ano
were not favorable to the policy Of
prohibition. Of course the times are
somewhat different now, but sounc
principles are the same now as then
and the people of this and Other
states need to be exceedingly careful
about undertaking a great and I'm
portant work without the proper
machine or machinery to do it.

HOW THEY GET THE NEWS.

Where does the public press of today
get it's great mass of up-to-da ln1or-
nation on the saloon issue? There Is
nothing haphazard about the matter.
The Prohibition National Committee 10
conducting the most effective and ex-
tensive news service ever maintained by
anv temperance or prohibition organiza-
ton. 1t complies and distributes weekly
to 1900 editors, publishers and press cor
respondents from 10 to 40 type written
pages of up-to-date temperance ana
Prohibition information. This goes TO
every Prohibition, w. c. 7. u, Good
Templar and Anti-Saloon League publ
cation, all the religious and denomina-
tional weeklies, the most prominent dali
lies of each state the liquor trade jour
nails, all the representative foreign tenn
perance and Prohibition periodicals. -,
1t is impossible to estimate the run
extent of this service. 1t has furnished
a large share of the matter for recent
full-page write-up in the Philadelphia
North American which has a million
readers and a similar article recently pub
| lished in the New York Herald with It's
| two million and a half readers. The chi
cago Evening Post publishes a full col
| umn of this matter each week and SO
with a great number of other papers OF
large influence and circulation.

worth every dollar contributed to that or

Senator Dolliver of Iowa smiled
when asked his views recently OF the
report that the Prohibition party would
put up no ticket but would throw
it's influence to either of the old
parties that would put Prohibition
blank in it's platform.
"The Republican and Democratic
parties" he said, want all the votes
they can get and they have both here
tofore made large annexations by the
use of convenient and empty phrases.
If possible to get a Prohibition vote,
we might tack on clause saying that
we are in hearty sympathy with all
movements that tend to promote tenn
perance and sobriety among the peo'
pie" And here he had to laugh
heartily.
"Why doesn't one of the great
parties take up the Prohibition idea"
he was asked.

ment would be arrayed elsewhere ano
the party would get licked" replied

BIG CORRUPTION FUND TO
DEFEAT GAME LAWS

In the absence of definite advces
from Sacramento regarding the taking
of action on the game bill which was
recommended to the legislature by the
state game convention which met at
Monterey last November, it is stated
by local sportsman who has kept
closely in touch with Sacramento that
there is every probability the game law
matter will be left untouched this WIN
ter. This, he argues, is a good thing
for the sportsmen. A large corruption
fund is said to have been raised by
the market interests to fight the entire
game law as it now stands and to
prevent its re-enactment: in other
words, California is threatened with
an open season. How much overdrawn
this idea may be is hard to tell, but
1t is sure the proposed reforms, much
needed as they are, will excite much
opposition. This authority declares
there is little prospect of any change
being made in the bill, however, owing
to the great volume of business that
is to be transacted in so short a time
at Sacramento.
Junketing trips will eat into the few
days available. Perhaps it may not
be bad thing If the law be let alone.
A reduced duck limit, mo sale on
ducks, are the chief changes desired.

sPoRTSMEN OBJECT TO
CHANGE IN SNlPE LAW

At recent meeting of the Los An
geles County Game and Fish Protec-
tive association action was taken that
will interest every local sportsman.
The Legislature was petitioned by the
state game convention in November
to make the snipe law coincide with
that on ducks. This did not strike
any means, for they declare that prac-
tically all the snipe shooting they have
comes after the regular season on
ducks has closed. By the terms of
the present snipe law 1t is legal to
shoot the long-bills until April 1.
When the duck clubs turn the water
out of their ponds there is a great
deal of black mud uncovered on which
the snipe find plenty of their favorite
food, and it may be made to afford
considerable sport.
Another change recommended was
the setting aside of a time in summer
when bay birds may be shot. Curlew,
martins, willets and other large snipe
are plentiful during August and Sep
tember and may be seen in large
flocks feeding along any of the beaches
They are then included in the duck law
under the general term of 'limicolae.
the scientific name of the family to
which they belong. After october Is,
the time of opening of the duck sea-
son, there are usually but few bay
snipe to be shot, and thus sportsmen
lose opportunity to bag a number of
fine varieties of game birds that not
only afford good fun, but also excel
lent food during the summer months
when there is little else to interest the
shotgunner. The proposed law would
lend variety to the dove shooting which
at present affords the gunner his only
excuse for remembering he has fowl
ing piece between April and October.
