WATTERSON ON DRINK.
Kentucky Editors Views on the
Question of Prohibition.
Louisville Courier-Journal.

Louisville Courier-Journa
We do not think that any moral
end or good public purpose is reach
ed by forbidding the hotels of great
centre Of population, like the city Of
Louisville, from serving drinks to
tnose who want them, and from IN
terdicting drinks from clubs Of gen.
tlemen-in each instance the rules Of
restriction and order being of neces-
sity and Of recognized stringency-
and, as there must be both equality
and equity in law, the poor man
should not be barred from obtaining
what he wants Of tho nearby saloon,
or "pubic,' as the English call them,
subjected to the same obligations re-
quired of the hotel and the club.
In point Of fact, the saloon should
be so conducted as no more to invite
police supervision than any other re-
tail business, than the corner grocery,
or the drug store, and the liquor in
terest should welcome the regulations
that take it out Of the category Of
crime and put it in that Of commerce.
That man under his own roof may
not use and dispense such food and
drink as he will is preposterous. The
invasion Of the home, the abridgment
Of personal liberty, which is aimed at
by the Prohibitinists, smacks Of the
Inquisition and the stake. Cont7m-
porary prohibition is fanatieism pure
and simple. Temperance cannot be
enforced by law; it never has been !;
in Maine the most drastic laws have
worked evil, not good. Wherever else
they have been tried they have en-
countered failure. Sc that, in our
opinion, the wisdom Of that branch
of human ethics is to cultivate the
lighter drinks such as wines and
beers-and to regulate what cannot
be controlled.
We believe with Jefferson that
"No nation is drunken, where wine
is cheap though he should have ad-
ded "and pure.' The Introduction
of beer in America has done more for
temperance than all the temperance
societies and all the prohibition laws
combined. The result Of the anti-can-
teen legislation is playing havoc with
the private soldier Of the army. Fan
atcism is always tyrannical in ita
methods, proscriptiye in its spirit,
and mistaken in it's ends. To the de:
cision Of a question so momentous
should be brought the force Of COM
mon sense and accumulated expert
ence, not the hysteria Of fren1ed agi-
tation.

KILLED MAN IN TEXAS.
Singleton Captured at Last in Park
ersburg, W. Va.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, March %
Edward Singleton. arrested here TUESDAY
night, charged with murder in Hardin coun-
ty, Texas, tells an interesting story.
Shingleton, who was formerly resident
of this city, on the night OF August 81.
1905 shot and killed a bartender named
Monroe at Kountze, Texas. The two men
had been at "outs' for weeks, and at one
time before the murder Singleton entered
the saloon where Monroe was working and
asked him If he was ready to settle their
differences Monroe said that he was not
prepared at that time, but invited Shingle-
ton back again. Singleton returned on
the night Of August p and asked Monroe
II he was ready. According to Singleton,
without minutes warning Monroe pulled
a revolver from under the counter and said
to Shingleton: II guess l will kill you
without any further ceremony" He started
to fire on Singleton, but the latter says
he took him at his word and pumped
three bullets into his body before the other
man could get the revolver in his hands.
Singleton was arrested the following day
and confessed the crime.
On October 81, 1905, he broke Jail in
Hardin county, it is stated, and by his
efforts allowed seventeen other prisoners to
escape with him. He swan three and one
half miles across lake at KountZe to
escape the officers. Yesterday Chief Oliver
Of the police department received a tele-
gram from the sheriff of Hardin county.
Texas, saying that he would come here
after Singleton as soon as he could get
requisition papers.

STATE OFFICER IMPUGNED
jerseys Governor Holds Up Appoint
ment Of Secretary of State

TRENTON. N. J.. March 2s.-Gov. Stokes
Yesterday afternoon held a long conference
with the republican senators over the COM
plications that have arisen In regard to the
reappointment Of Col. 8. D. Dickinson as
secretary OF state AS a result Gov. Stokes
announced that he would make no appoint
ments until next Monday afternoon, and
the senate adjourned until o'clock on that
day In order to receive and act on an ap-
pointment
The postponement of the appointment
until Monday will leave New Jersey with
out secretary of state for at least half a
day, for Col. Dickinson's term will expire
on Sunday night, and under the constitu-
tion he does not hold office until his sue
cessor Is appointed.
The appointment has been delayed In
order that the governor may inquire into
the truth of the formal charges that have
been preferred against Col. Dickinson by
Mayor Pagan of Jersey city. These charges
involve not only Col. Dickinsons political
methods but also his private life. Pagan
has made the assertion that II Col. Dickin-
son is reappointed he will make the matter
public.
Pagan charged that Col Dickinson has
not been resident of New Jersey for sew
eral years. having a home in New York
He also charges that the colonel has been
interested In corporation legislation and that
he has been guilty of aiding the democrats
in various campaigns.
The charges that have been giving tho
governor the most concern are those re-
flecting on Col. Dickinson's character The
colonel has denied emphatically the truth
of all the charges, but the governor is hav-
ing them Investigated.
Col. Dickinson said that he had engaged
counsel to prosecute Mayor Pagan for
criminal libel and also to institute civil pro-
ceedngs for libel.

GRATING MADE EASY.
Impossible Provisions in Specifications
for Pennsylvania State Capitol.

for Pennsylvania State Capitol.
HARRISBURG, Pa. March 2S.-It was
brought out yesterday before the capitol
investigation commission that the specifica-
tons for the bronze electrical fixtures, for
which the state paid John H. Sanderson
81 600 900, contained impossible features
upon which no manufacturer could bid
without assurance from persons In control
that the impossible things would not be re-
CURED
1t was required. for Instance. that the
bronze electrical fixtures should have a
mercurial gold finish. Testimony was to the
effect that mercurial gold finish Is obsolete
and that there Is not man In the whole
United States who knows how to put 1t on
This was sworn to by William A. Manuel
an expert lacquerer and bronZer who was
actually employed on the work in the cap
itol by the Pennsylvania Bronze Company.
AS to the requirement that these fixtures
should be equipped with baccarat glass, 1t
was learned on the stand from Wallace
Boieau, one Of the managers of the same
bronze company. that not only Is baccarat
glass manufactured solely for table ware
but the makers of these fixtures would be
prohibited from using it or any other for
egn glass by the necessity for frequent
communica lions and interchange Of sam
pies with the makers so as to secure proper
fittings.
1t was shown that though the fixtures
actually furnished contained no baccarat
glass Architect Huston and Superintendent
Of Public Grounds and Buildings John NJ.
Shoenmel had certified to the delivery of
baccarat glass in three lots of s31, 526. 92,
SAB, 100. 81 and SIS, 444.20, and that Con-
tractor Sanderson had made affidavit to the
fact that the goods were in accordance
with specifications.
1t was shown that the delivery of a
larger portion of this was certified and paid
for two months or more before it was de-
hvered.

1e,o53 IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE.
Records for the Year Broken at Ellis
Island

NEW YORK, March 2s.-Breaking all rec
ords this year and exceeded in the history
OF immigration at this port only by the ar
rivals one day last April, twelve steam
ships landed 1908 aliens today
This thrush more than taxed the clearing
house on Ellis Island. which, working with
its full force, passed $500 through the in
specting lines Not until Friday will the
immigrant station resume a normal condi-
ton, and before that time, If steamships
now due arrive, several thousand more will
be added to the horde Of the final week in
March.
Together with the immense number OF
immigrants there were 1896 cabin passen-
gers. This caused congestion in the inspec-
ton department Of the customs service, as
the fleet locked at nearly the same time.
More than 100 customs inspectors were dis
tributed at the piers, and there were tedious
delays that were inevitable because of the
small force to care for nearly 5000 pieces
of baggage. Not TO ra month will the add
ditional inspectors annually placed on the
force be assigned, as the congested condi-
lions of today were quite out OF the ord1-
nary at this time Of the year.

Western Railroads Are Facing 9
Serious Situation.

CHICAGO, March 28-The $1,000 train
| men of the western railroads seemed nearer
strike last night than at any time since
the negotiations were begun two months
ago for an increase Of ~ per cent in wages
and workday of nine hours. The confer
enee yesterday between the representatives
Of the men and the railroad officials lasted
four hours, but was a failure in bringing
about solution of the trouble.
The railroads offered increases Of per
cent to passenger conductors and 10 per
cent to brakemen. firemen, baggagemen
and allied workers. When the railroad Of
flcers declared their offer was the'best that
could be made, the conference came to an
end. as the men by a referendum vote taken
last week had decided not to accept any
thing less than their original demands.
Immediately after the joint conference
broke up the representatives of the train
men met to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
calling strike in order to bring the rail-
roads to terms. Just what decision was
reached Is not known tonight. The union
men declined to discuss what had taken
place at the meeting.
They were a unit. however. in declaring
that peaceable settlement of the contro-
versy can be reached only by the general
managers Offering concessions. Another
meeting of the union men has been sched-
uled for tomorrow and the outlook is that
strike will be called within he next forty
eight hours unless the railroads request an
other conference.
P. H. Morrissey, chief of the trainmen's
organtZa ton, said last night:
I'VE have been instructed by the men we
represent to call a strike, unless the offer
OF the roads was satisfactory to US. The
vote by which this attitude was reached
carried the strike proposition by a tremen-
dous majority. We are not satisfied and
the men are not satisfied. We are not going
to ask for any more conferences with the
general managers. 1t is up to them to pre-
vent the men quitting work, and the only
way they can do this is to accede to our
demands"
A. B. Garretson. chief Of the conductors
also declared that no further conferences
would be held with the general managers
After the failure of the opposing interests
to reach settlement, and when the men
were declaring that strike was inevitable
Clayson Thomas Of the General Managers
Association said
we have not given up hope as yet of a
probable adjustment of the difficulty We
have conceded a great deal to the men al
ready, and 1t would seem to be but a mat
ter of short time until the union officials
will see their way clear to accept the gen.
eral managers proposal. 1 am of the opin-
ion that the conference which ended today
will be resumed again within the next two
days and that some sort of an agreement
will be reached
