VICTORY'S HOUR.

One of the serious difficulties experienced
in the fight against the liquor traffic has been
the seeming impossibility of getting a fight
ing line squarely drawn where no one could
fail to recognize it and no honest man could
have excuse for failure to aline himself upon
it We may we'll congratulate ourselves now
that the enemy is doing much to draw such
an unmistakable line.
In spite of the mass of friendly newspaper
editorials constantly urging upon the liquor
interests the propriety and necessity of mod
Grafton and conciliatory action, the liquor
men are taking the aggressive with almost
brutal defiance.
In Illinois, not satisfied with the capture
of the campaign platforms of both of the
old parties, the liquor interests openly avow
their intention to at once repeal the local OPP
ton laws under which thirty-six counties of
the state are "dry" and restore the saloon
to its domination everywhere, from the Wis
consin line to Cairo.
In Pennsylvania, at the dictation of the
liquor interests, the political party that pro-
fesses to be the friend of temperance and

MAINE AND MINNESOTA

Upon other pages of this paper there will
be found a careful analysis of the representa-
lions which have been made by the iquel
interests concerning the comparative preva-
lence of crime in Maine and in Minnesota
The liquor dealers alleged statistics have
been widely published and have attracted
much attention, and their refutation has
necessarily been delayed because of the fact
that it was for long time impossible to dis
cover the source of their figures.
1t is probable that no state could have been
chosen more likely to show comparison ia
vorable to the liquor interests than the state
of Minnesota. It is one of the most orderly
and law abiding states of the Union, with
sober population, largely rural. Situated in
that division Of the country which has the
lowest ratio of criminal population, its ratio
stands low among the other states of the
division. On the other hand Maine, with its
Prohibition law in the hands of an anti-Pro-
hibition party, is anything but an ideal state
in which to study the results of the Prohibi-
ton policy.
It may be confessed that review of the
liquor dealers representations was under
taken with the hope that they could be ex-
planned, but without any strong expectation
that a showing so favorable to Prohibition
could be made. The result, however, not
only again demonstrates that the liquor prop
uganda is guilty of intentional and malicious
falsehood, but also shows that under the al
most fatal handicaps that have embarrassed
the Prohibition policy in Maine, that policy
produces excellent results.

ILLINOIS SPLENDID POSITION

The financial report of the treasurer of the
Illinois state committee which is found else
where in this paper, will be read carefully far
outside of the state Of Illinois, not merely
because the whole nation has an interest in
the work which is being done in the great
Prairie State, but as well because the docu-
ment in itself is one calculated to both inspire
and instruct s.
By the showing Of Mr.. WHITsoN's report
the Illinois state committee, in the two years
which have elapsed since April rs, 1906, has
received and disbursed $90,432; has re-
sources in sight in excess OF S25, 900 and
liabilities only a trifle more than So, 900. We
do not feel that we are disparaging the ex-
cellent work done in any other state Of the
Union when we say that financial showing
of such magnitude and Importance has never
before been made in the history of the Pro
hibition party. Tt speaks volumes for the
generosity and devotion OF the people of Hi
nois. It sounds loudly the praise of Illinois
who are associated with him in the admins
tration Of the party's affairs in this state
It is a pleasure, further, to add that the
good work of the Prohibitionists of Illinois
is not wholly found in financial statement
During the time which is covered by this re-
port the Prohibitionists of Illinois have con-
Quoted splendid legislative campaigns, elected
three men who are now sitting in the legis-
lature of the state, have rolled up an enor-
nous vote for the highest state office to which
an election was made in 1906, carrying five
counties of the state for our candidate and
exceeding the Democratic vote in twelve colln-
ties more. In addition to this the great wave
of indignation against the drink traffic that
has swept Illinois during the past months,
leaving thirty-six counties of the state with

THE NATIONAL PROHIBITIONIST

perance folks who came to the Republican
convention with a low voiced plea for local
option, and the judges of the license courts
are outraging the temperance sentiment of
the people as perhaps never before in the
Infamous history of the Brooks law.
In New York the temperance people, I'M
der the leadership of the Anti-Saloon League,
have again been before the legislature with
their modest plea for a measure OF protec-
ton for the rum-ruled cities; and again the
Republican legislature has treated the re-
quest with contempt and, fguratively speak
ing, kicked the petitioners down the capitol
steps, These are illustrations of an almost
uniform situation. The enemy has drawn
the line clearer than ever before
There have been, too, times in the
past when extraneous issues have arisen, so
apparently real and so seemingly important
that many voters were hardly to be blamed
when they were led to believe that it was
necessary to hold the Prohibition question in
allegiance while other 'tgreat issues were set
tied Nothing of that exists today. The
field of vision is unobscured There is no is
sue-by the confession Of the great politicians
of both parties, there is no issue between
the Democrats and Republicans today aOorthy
the attention of the american people. The
battle between those parties at the polls on
che third day of November will be a sordid
struggle to decide who shall carry the ma
tional money bag. 1t requires no sacrifice,
it needs no far-seeing craftsmanship for the
patriotic citizen to stand aside from that
contest and aline himself upon an issue of
real, living national Importance.
Under such conditions, with the field un-
obscured, with the enemy deiantly in arms
and pressing the battle at every point, the
Prohibition party enters the campaign, with
public attention already centered upon our
issue, united, enthusiastic, courageous and
potentially victorious.
There is absolutely nothing that can pre-
vent the greatest Prohibition victory of the
nations history in the coming campaign
If we wiU only stand firm and mill do oar
duty. We could prevent it, if we would
weaken our demands and tone down our bat
tie cry and follow some flag of the half-loaf
or run away after some entangling alliance
We could have failure by simply not grasp
ing success But all the devils of the saloon

Rankin, Who Gets Judgment.

A decision of the supreme court
has confirmed the district court in
the case entitled Lulu Rankin VS..

that had been placed in the hands
of the defendant by one Harry
Moves. The defendant alleged the
diamonds were given as security for
a loan, but the plaintiff claimed own
ership to the property and denied
he right of Noyes to offer the same
for security.
The case was tried in the district
court of Neg Perce county and ver-
dict for $3.50 and costs was awarded
the plaintiff. The action was then
appealed to the supreme court. and

court has reversed District Judge E..
c. Steele in the case of LeQuime vs.
Chambers. and has instructed the
district court to issue a permanent
Injunction against the defendant

tiff had developed a spring and piped
the water a distance Of three-quar-
ters of a mile to land located near
the river. The pipe system was de-
stroyed by the defendant, and the
plaintiffs were refused the privilege
of repairing the system. An action
was instituted in the district court
asking that an Injunction be issued
restraining the defendant from fur
ther interference. but this aprlica-
ton was denied. and the matter was
then carried to the supreme court
resulting in a reversed Of the distric'
