he has confessed has not been corrobor-
ated; that the Vindicator mine explosion
was an accident; that the Independence
depot explosion, where fourteen men were
killed, was planned by K. S. Sterling and
D. S. Scott, railroad detectives, and that
the Pinkertons sent men into the district
to join the unions and incite the members
to riot and disorder.
Incidentally he said the Bradley Incl
dent in San Francisco was due to an ex-
plosion of gas, as shown by the evidence
for the defense, and that Haywood had
not been connected at any point with
many of the overt acts confessed by Or
chard, except by the discredited testi-
mony of Orchard himself.
Senator Borah confined himself largely
to the legality of the question of adnis-
sibility.
He spoke for an hour, forcefully re-
viewing the evidence and claims made by
the defense, which he said failed to show
by any member of the alleged conspiracy
between the mine owners and the Pin
kertons that any such conspiracy ex-
listed.
Argues Conspiracy Is Shown
He took the position and quoted author
tiles to show that conspiracy can only
be considered after the introduction of
direct evidence of a conspirator.
Mr.. Richardson argued that conspir-
acy had been shown by the contributory
effect of all the evidence introduced by
the defense, and closed with the state
ment that If the court saw fit to exclude
the evidence bearing on the Colorado sit
uation introduced by the state counsel for
the defense would be satisfied to see their
evidence barred from consideration.
Judge Wood stated that in all prob
ability he would decide to morrow.
]. H. Hawley will open the argument
for the state at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. 1t is expected that he will take the
entire day. Mr.. Richardson for the de-
tense will speak on Saturday.

On June 9th, the United States
Brewers Association convened at
Atlantic City to devise ways and
means Of counteracting the rising
temperance sentiment. The vigil
lance committee read a report,
part of which follows: "It is only
too apparent that the enemies of
our industry have more than held
their own in the struggles of the
past year. Emboldened by their
victories, victories conditioned by
a wave of fanaticism, they are
planning greater conquests in the
future. They are pledged to a war
of determination. The friends of
personal liberty and of the square
deal could not ask for fairer warn
ing than that of the past year, and
we must fight against this preju-
dice which has been raised in the
minds Of the people,"

water and rip-roaring fun; when
it gets well soaked in, it is horned
toads, dragons and kissing snakes;
and when you begin to sober up
it is the inside of the calaboose
with a dirty wettowel around your
head, a nasty feeling in your
stomach, the taste of old shoes in
your mouth, a painful crack in
your belfry, and a despairing
wonder as to how you are going to
get out and get home without your
wife oryour best girl getting next"

Dry Days in the South.

Politicians in the South have
come to a realization that the pro-
hibition movement in their region
is one which must be taken with
the utmost seriousness. The po-
itico-temperance crusade, with it's
new life and energy, constitutes
the most startling development in
Southern politics to-day. The adj
vocates of compulsory abstinence
are growing more powerful day by
day. The movement is not so
much against the consumption of
whisky and other alcoholic bever-
ages as against saloons, r%umshops,
bars and the like.
The average Americana is in the
habit OF regarding Kentucky, Ten
nessee, the CaroIinas and, in fact,
most of the other Southern States,
as distinguished for the produce
ton and consumption OF liquor. 1t
is interesting, in view of this, to
have attention directed to the fact
that in the State of Kentucky 80
out of 1l9 counties are "no license"
That is to say, in none OF the
ninety counties will be granted a
license to sell liquor. The whole
State of Tennessee is "dry" save
for the cities of Memphis, Nash
vile and Chattanooga. In the
"dry" districts no alcoholic bever-
age may be bought-not even a
glass of beer or claret with dinner.
The State of Texas is said to
contain ninety counties that have
abolished saloons. North Caro-
lima, Mississippi and other States
of the South tell the same story.
Anybody may have spirituous
beverages sent to him in any OF
the "dry' districts, but through
out these regions every saloon has
been extirpated. One may travel
up and down the rural parts Of
Kentucky and Tennessee without
finding one bar or crossroads
saloon such as may be found in
profusion throughout, say, New
York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

The Supreme Court of Ohio on
June 25th, handed down an i'm
portant decision under the State
liquor laws in the case of the State
against Under, coming from Erie
county. Under was prosecuted
for operating a saloon in a "dry''

jury that liquor might be given

it could not be sold. The State

carried the case to the Supreme

exception.
