DRY SOUTH.

More than half of Missouri has gone dry" Teetotalism is becoming the fashion in Kentucky and the feel ing against the use of intoxicants in that state is so intense that mint beds require watching to protect them from destruction. Long ago the Tillman dis pensary system was indignantly hus- tied out of South Carolina. and temper ance prevails in that state to a greater extent than ever before. The governors of both the CaroinaS are stanch tee totalers. Indeed, all over the South, the solid democratic South. the tradi- tional hostility of the democracy to prohibition or any sort of "sumptuarv legislation" has become ancient history. The most notable of the incidents con nected with this revolution is the en- actment of a prohibitory statute by the Georgia legislature. Neither Gcor- gia nor any other state north or south is prepared to show. for any considcra- ble length of time, a half decent en- forcement of prohibition. In rural re- eions prohibition, when adopted by bal lot, can and often is. rigidly enforced. In cities and large towns the cXperi- ence of almost sixty years has demon strated the impossibility of effectiug any desirable change by putting the sale of liquors in the list of crimes. It is presumably in compliance with public sentiment that the national gov ernment derives a large part of its revenues from the manufacture and sale of liquors, and that states and mu- nicipalities follow this example This situation is not in the least encourag- ing to statewide prohibition. But it speaks with a loud voice in support of local option and high license

has made its modest appearance. If this official organ of the commission shall depart from the past policy of concealmcnt and misrepresentation that has characterized the press agency of the canal admnistration il will be- come a most esteemed contemporary. Otherwise it will be merely an object of derision. We hope that the Canal Record has turned over new leaf. The editorial announcement says. among other things.
 Space will be given to letters from employees relating to any topic upon which they may choose to write, sub- ject to the restrictions that such com- munications must be couched in re- spectful language and must be signed in each instance with the name and ad- dress of the writer"
 There is a hint of censorship in the phrase respectful language" which may be supposed to include. or rather. exclude, a multitude of sins that grieve the official heart, but, perhaps, the blue pencil will not often be required The rebellious employe will seek some other medium.

NOME. ALASKA, NOV. 23, 1907.
ESKIMO EDUCATION.

The superintendent of native educa- tion in Alaska. after a visit paid to this district last summer. and after having gone into the matter of the training of Eskimos, has come to the conclusion that to educate the native as one would educate the whites would be mistake, and a mistake fraught with the most serious consequences to the Eskmos themselves.
 The method of r.esoning which led to such a conclusion is not known, but it is stated that the education given to d white child if given to young Eskimo would only succeed in making of the latter a roor imitation of his white brother and mighty poor Es- l;imo.
 It is perhaps easy to advance an argument in opposition to such a the- ory. One could state in the first place that the metaphysical questions in volI eG are far too abstruse for solu- tion after an examination limited to one season, or, several seasons for the matter of that, but, on the other hand it is likewise easy to show that danger is really threatened to our dusky friends by being treated as are the children of paler skins.
 The natives can never hope to be placed on an equal footing with whites That truth must at once be conceded by all who believe mixture to be i'm possible
 Admitting this chemical mixture, as a chemist would, perhaps. call it, to be impossible, there is nothing else left but the mechanical mixture, and In a mechanical mixture the Eskimo must always be the inferior element.
 Why then should the native of Sew ard peninsula be placed in a position analogous to that occupied by the de- spised negro of the South? Why should he become versed in the arts of the white man when the tools of the white man will be nothing but the bonds of his slavery?
 And why shoyld he not be taught to excel in the arts that have come to him by nature, in the crafts of which he makes his livelihood. and in the occupations which will guarantee him comfort and the glorious privilege of being independent"
