How Dry We Are!

In Ohio there are 1900 dry
townships.
In Georgia 103 ont of 1877 coun-
ties of the state have prohibition,
eleven-twclfths of Arkansas is
under prohibition laws Indiana
has 649 townships and 40 cities
where the sale of liquor is illegal.
In Vermont only IS towns out
of $40 have saloons. Tennessee
shows that 1885 out of 1,848
towns have shut out saloons un-
der the local option law, and that
over half the nhabitants of the
state live under prohibition.
In each Of these states prohi.
bition is considered effective be.
cause it is strongly supported
by the sentiments of the COM
munities. In no instance has a
drastic state law brought salts
factory results. 1t is an-inter-
esting Illustration Of the effect
iveness Of home rule IN matters
which affect restricted localities

a neighbor merchant bought a

pRoVING THEIR CASE.

a dispatch from a West Virginia
town says that a preacher declared
from his pulpit that all persons who
were not baptized would certainly go to
hell. and that all who had died unbap-
tized had certainly gone to the hot
place. The congregation, according TO
the story, didn't care for that sort OF
waited until the services were over and
then chastised the preacher. OF course,
they proved by their action that the
man of God was entirely wrong. Now
the preacher is endeavoring to show that
the congregation is wrong. He has Sc
cured the indictment of forty-five of his
flock on a charge of assault.
Seriously. it does look like going a
trihe far 10 say that those who have
never gone through the form of bap-
tism are suffering, or will suffer, eternal
torments. And it is difficult to believe
that the preacher expected his state
ments to be take in their literal mean
ing. There is such a thing as minis
terial license that IS no more harmful
than poetic license.
The late Sam Jones often preached
from the text: He that being often re-
proved hardeneth his neck shall sud-
denly be cut off. and that without REM
edy." Now Mr.. Jones knew that many
good men, even many ministers, are
often called suddenly out of life. 1t is
by no means the sinner who receives the
unexpected summons. And Mr.. Jones
himself died very suddenly while trav-
elirg on a railroad train. He never
meant that every individual who died
suddenly went TO hell, but great many
people professed to have
that understanding of his remarks.
SO it is with the West Virginia man.
II the whole story could be known IL
would almost surely show that he was
given an entirely undeserved chastise-
ment.

from interviews which represent the
business, professional and general in
terests of the community. The Herald
has shown how nearly unanimous is
the demand for the Galveston bills by
the citizens of Salt Lake. 1t is agreed
by all who know the defects of the
present system that no administration.
however good its intentions. can get
satisfactory results under the existing
conditions. 1t isn't a question of Re-
publican. or Democratic or "Ameri-
can administrations, but Of a system
that is cumbersome, expensive and OBJ
structive Of public business No bust
ness institution would tolerate SUCH a
system for day and none could sur
vive II without heavy loss exactly of
the kind the city suffers now.
The only objection Of real weight is
the fear that incompetent or unfit men
might be elected, but that same obiec-
ton applies equally 20 present condi-
tons. Under the Galveston plan. IL un-
fit men are chosen the people know
who is to blame: under the present
plan no one is responsible, no one can
be located and censured and the re-
suit is an Indifference to public opin-
ion among public employees that is IA
tai to good government.
II the responsibility of city govern
ment is to be intrusted to a small COM
mission. the people Will be much more
careful in their choice Of administra-
tions ard will be able to watch. them
more effectively than they can now
Moreover, good men will be reader to
accept office where they are paid for
the work and are given a chance TO do
business in a business way To say
that IT is dangerous to give three men
so much power Is to admit that the
people are incompetent 10 govern
themselves. that the whole fabric Of
local government has broken down.
No matter what the objections. they
apply with greater force to the pres
ent plan OF civic administration than
they do the plan proposed. Certain
~ any change must be an improve
ment and the opposition of the small
politicians is good evidence that the
change is in the interest of the, pub
lie. Your petty politician sees in the
new plan the end Of his graft. his. fir
ish of appointment for political serv-
ices only. without regard TO fitness.
He knows that the change would stop
the trading Of offices for votes, put
public employment on a business basis
and compel employees to perform ade-
uliate Service for their salaries II they
wish to retain their positions.
The fate OF the measures which have
passed the senate and are now in the
house will be watched solicitously by
the large number of Salt Lake citizens
hope TO see them become law.

OUR ARMY POSSIBILITIES.

Willie there is no probability of war
with Japan or any other nation, the wild
rumor that the United States might be
called upon to fight the little brown

strength Of the nation in the matter of

a more important question, and one
that is being discussed widely. is as to
the percentage of these men that would
be fit for action. How many of the 49,
600 900 able-bodied American citizens
between the ages of Is ana A. years are
physically fit for a bruising campaign?
Opinions vary. The Baltimore Sun be-
lieves that only a small percentage
could take the field. And yet the re-
cords are against the Sun. There has

not in fit fighting condition.
The first important example of this
fact occurred I'm the war of the revolu-
ton. 1t is true that I'm the olden days
men lived more in the open air and. as
a rule. took more physical exercise. But
mixed with the yeomanry in the Cont
mental armies was a large proportion OF
clerks and office men, and If they did
not fight as we'll as the farmers, if they
did not bear their share of the hard
ships. history has failed to record it.
We raised no considerable armies i'm
this country between. the war of the re-
volution and the civil war, though in
cidentally we whipped England for the
second time. and then administered a
trouncing to Mexico. But the civil war
furnished the greatest test Of all. Into
that strife were hurried men from the
counting room. the store. the factory.
the office From every walk of life men
rushed to ally themselves with the
north or the southern armies, as
their preference lay or their consciences
urged.
Did they fight we'll? The records are
where they may be read of all men.
Calamity both sides endured disease,
CALAMITY they bore the hardships that
were inevitable. From the beginning TO
the end of that fearful conflict the men
gave a splendid account of themselves.
and it is not a matter of records that
one class was better than another. The
sun. nor any other paper, need fear
that if the 100000 are called into &C
ton their numbers will contain any con-
percentage of weaklings.

Money From Seawecd.

Japan which wastes nothing in it's
domestic economy, realizes S2.00O,00o
annually from its seaweed products.
According to the report of c. j. David
son, an attache of the British embassy
at Tokyo. more than fifty varieties or
the seaweed found along the japanese
coast are utilized either for food or as
manufactured products.
The traveller sees bundles of dried
seaweed. white with the crystailized
salt of the sea water, hung from the
front of every food stall. The coarser
varieties are stewed and served with
fish. Some of the delicate sprigs OF
sea grass are boiled with fish soups
and remain a vivid green, floating
against the red lacquer of the soup
bowls.
Other species Of seaweed are used in
the manufacture Of glue, OF plaster and
Of starch. Whole villages are given
over to seaweed fishing and the drying
and packing of the product for ship
ment to the manufacturing plants In
the large cities. In the country along
the seashore the farmers use the coarse
and ropy kelp for fertilizing their vege-
table fields-St Louis Post-Dispatch.

HARVEY MILLS SUICIDES
Was a Young Tax Assessor
AT Eaton, Ohio.
A POPULAR YOUNG MAN.

Harvey Mills. assessor of Preble
county. O.. committed suicide in Col
umbus, Ohio, Saturday Mr.. and Mrs.
was the son of the-Iate president OF the
leading bank at West Alexandria. and
had one of the best prospects of any
young man in Preble county. During
his administration as assessor, Mills
did good work and collected many
thousands Of dollars which were due
the county and which would not have
been collected had il not been for his
efforts. Several months ago Mr..
Mills married a young lady of Column
bus. and since that time he has been in
Eaton most of the time, roomed
at the home of Mrs. Mary B. Farr. His
actions were thought to be rather
strange by his most intimate friends.
but it was not supposed by anyone that
that he would take his life. The re-
port came as a great surprise to his
many friends. The deceased was a
member of the Masonic fraternity of
West Alexandria. Ohio. and the frater-
nifty will. in all probability, have
charge of the funeral.
The Mills family lot is in Mound
Hill cemetery. near Eaton, and it is al
so expected that the remains of the de-
ceased will be inferred on the family
lot
