alton spread very thinly, as public
expenses decrease and prohibition
adds new values to property.
Prohibition has no place for judi
cious" looseness in enforcing law.
Notification has to go; respect for
law replaces it. The saloon debauch-
abstinence dignifies. The corrup-
ton of voters fees the sober man.
With the saloon gone, suffrage be-
comes a sacrament. instead of an auc-
ton sale. A sober electorate makes
good government. Corrupt trusts are
baked when, under prohibition. So
Der voters choose incorruptible leg
islators. This solves a great prob
lem. VI II
Drunkenness in parents no longer
forces children into mill or store or
field. They remain in school, as is
their right. With prohibition, calm
judgment replaces passion in adjust
ing the delicate relations of labor
and capital where clear brains are
needed. To expel the saloon increas-
es business practically one-fifth, add
ing $6,500,O00 per day to the drink
ers' purchasing power. Here is a
constant growing s'home market de.
mand for all products. No such
promise was ever ventured by sa-
loon party. Prohibition does it. Pro
-hibition automatically solved the i'm
migration problem, because it brings
us the cream of foreigners, the thrift
ty, sober and home loving, instead
of the dregs. This aids labor and
capital north and south. ne
No party ever anticipated all the
questions that arise; confidence is
felt in the wisdom and reserve pow
er of it's officials. The men who
have grit and sagacity to conquer the
saloon can be trusted with other
questions, especially as their brains
are kept clear.

WeNread that the Ward county
commissioners have loaded about a
hundred sticks Of wood dynamite
and placed them in the hole back of
one of the county buildings, whence
wood has been disappearing with too
great rapidity and regularity to suit
the guardians of the county wood
piles and other properties. It is ex-
pected that the filchers who get the
wood will pay the penalty through a
sudden explosion, that may be dis
astrous or not as good or bad for
tune wills. It affords us material
for an interesting speculation as to
the right OF the commissioners or
any one else may have so to. load
wood with dynamite and we are
forced to the belief they have done
nothing Of the kind and that the
whole thing is a bluff to scare away
wood hawks. For surely no one has
the right, even to prevent theft or
4 i = vtr4.
to punish it after it is committed,
to load wood with dynamite. They
would have as great a right to poi
son food likely to be stolen, in the
hope of visiting death upon the
thief. The stealing of wood is not
a capital crime, but the explosion of
dynamite in a stolen stick of wood
might work capital punishment. So
we say we are forced to the belief
that no officers or set of men have
resorted to such an expedient to pre-
vent theft, and that the whole story
is a canard, meant to brighten away
the thief or thieves. At least this is
the only sane and reasonable view
that can be taken of it.
