who are more temperate in their hab
its than school teachers, and when
out of the fullness of their experience
they urge change in the law gov
erning the teaching of temperance,
their voice should be heard.
The main trouble with the action of
the Illinois teachers is that it is not their
action at all, but the action of certain
self-constituted leaders concerning whom
it may more than be suspected that
they have an unrevealed purpose in their
course. The teachers, in far too many
of our states, have set themselves up as
the Judges of the laws which have been
enacted concerning instruction in this
matter instead of obeying those laws
and instructing their pupils, for which,
incidentally, they are paid. So far as
the Prairie Farmer is concerned, it
would be a good deal easier to credit
it with some sincerity did the reader
not discover upon another page of the
same number of the paper one of those

come from certain beer-owned news
bureaus" in Washington.

PROHIBITION AND PARTIES

The TimeS-H erald of Waco, Texas,
gives its readers a bit of very orthodox
Prohibition instruction. In an editorial
entitled Prohibition Through the
Party" it says:
When the Prohibitionists have reg
istered million votes for their can
didates, both the Republicans and the
Democrats will be making overtures !;
that's the history of American poll
tics Therefore, as in the case of
lovers, the shortest way home is the
longest way round; the way to get
Prohibition in this country is to al
ways vote the Prohibition ticket,
thereby helping the party to hold its
own and gather some strength at each
election. Government by law through
parties '-no Prohibitionist can afford
to ignore that statement, and every
Prohibitionist knows that today
neither the Democratic party nor the
Republican party is for Prohibition,
save on the local option basis, which
is wholly ineffective.

two paragraphs and will see what is
perfectly plain, that the Wholesome
regulation" which has been tried by ev-
cry state of the Union for years past
and into which has been sidetracked
reform desire, reform effort and reform
movement, past all measurement, has
accomplished absolutely nothing and
never will accomplish anything. The
two concluding paragraphs of the 1ri-
bnne's later article will give us an op-
portunity to judge its caliber.
We cannot change the criminal in
stincts by law no more than we can
change their appetites.
If parents properly rear their chill
dren they will be neither criminals nor
drunkards.
Of course, the grammatical blunder
may be an inadvertency, but the state
ment that the proper rearing of children
will prevent the existence OF criminals
and drunkards is either reckless false
hood or senseless nonsense. No posi-
bic home training can insure against the
temptations of the regulative system that
the Tribune stands sponsor for.

THE TEACHERS AND THE
INSTRUCTION LAWS

The Prairie Farmer, which is pub
lished by the Rand & McNally company
of Chicago, who happen to be large
publishers of school books-which may
mean something or may not mean any
thing-devotes one of its first page edi-
torials to Temperance Teaching in
Schools" citing the act of the Illinois
Teachers Association in adopting
resolution urging the repeal of the scien-
tifc temperance instruction law of this
state The Prairie Farmer says:
By vote of 1863 to 16 the Illinois
Teachers Association determined to
urge the legislature to repeal the I'LL
nois statute requiring in every school
the teaching of the evil effects of al
cohol and narcotics. In the place of
this law a general act requiring the
teaching of temperance under certain
specified conditions will be asked
Temperance is a thing involving
morality, and is not science When
the present law was enacted requir-
ing certain instruction, this fact was
probably not fully considered

AN UNKNOWN KIND OF
SALOON

The E0eming Post of Louisville, KY,
reviewing the law enforcement move
ment in that city, says:
The Evening Post sees in the saloon
business two antagonistc influences.
On one side are the saloons that prefer
to obey the laws and build up business
by fair methods, keeping out of poll
tics. On the other side are the saloons
that plunge into politics, to do the
dirty work of the dirtiest politicians;
saloons that make money by harboring
gamblers and thieves and defying the
police, protected by political support
erS.
1t is not clear which element. is 70
control the various organizations of
the liquor trade We hear many pro-
fessions of a change of policy, but we
are watching for some evidence of
that change expressed in action.
The Post will, unfortunately, wait a
long while before it discovers any very
assuring signs of even the existence of
any large number of saloons that habit
ually obey the law. Even in these days,
when there is SO much talk of reform
in the air and the liquor business is SO
anxious to put on good appearance,
one needs but to scratch the most pre-
tentlous reform" saloon to find the
same old Tartar.

THE RECONNAISSANCE


tenn has in truth proved "step td,
wards Prohibition" in Raleigh If the
Prohibition law shall now be fairly
we'll observed, it will be an interesting
vindication of the dispensary selling
restrictions as method of educating
the public in the direction of abstem-
1OuSneSS.
The facts in the case probably are, in
deed, may be asserted to be, that the de
cent people of Raleigh have been shame
stricken at the hideous work done by the
dispensary in the name of morality and
reform In that respect, and in that
only, has the dispensary been step to
ward Prohibition. The history of the
institution in South Carolina has been
the same The revenue accruing has
been tremendous bride to the public
conscience, but the evil results have

A STEP TOWARD PROHIBI-
TON"

The NeavS 6 Courier argues in behalf
of the dispensary as step toward Pro-
hibition, from the experience of Raleigh,
N. C.. 1t says:
The dispensary in Raleigh was To-
cal institution, just as it is in Charles
ton, and the law was satisfactorily
enforced. 1t proved an excellent mu-
nicipal dividend payer, the profits hav-
ing been in the neighborhood of $75,-
900 year Nevertheless, the Prohi-
bition sentiment steadily grew under
its operation, there was no tendency
to return to the license system and at
last, after one or two failures, the
traffic has been outlawed, the people
voluntarily relinquishing the handsome
revenues which the dispensaries have
turned into the public treasury. The
result is all the more remarkable when
it is remembered that Raleigh is sur
rounded by large Prohibition areas so
that its dispensaries furnished whisky
to hundreds of people outside of Wake
county, in which Raleigh is situated,
the profits upon their purchases going
to Raleigh and Wake county. The To-
cal option (not state) dispensary sys-

A WORTHY PAIR

The Minneapolis Tribune quotes one
of the paragraphs which have been float
ing about the country, attributed to the
president of the whisky trust" as fol-
lows:
With reference to the Prohibition
movement, it is unnecessary to go into
details, but it can be stated as a fa1

tics, that all attempts to regulate the
traffic by statute and the enforcement

IS only to change the channels and
methods of distribution
On the strength of this the Tribune
comments

A SAMPLE OF THE COUNTRY
DAILY PAPER

The Tribune of Bay City, Mich, which
is just now frantically clamoring against
the incorporation of a Prohibition clause
in the new constitution of Michigan, is
fair sample of the partizan daily in
small cities, exercising wide influence
and using it recklessly, and often ig
norantly, and without regard to either
right or sense. For example, the 1ri
bune, in a recent number, says:
1t has been demonstrated to the av
erage unbiased intelligence that the
proper way to deal with these sub
jects is by wholesome regulation. And
that comes solely within the province
of the legislative body. The Tribune
would raise the license for liquor sell
ing to a figure that would tend to
close the low groggeries and it would
limit the number of saloons proper
tionately to the population . :. This
would accomplish more in the way Of
regulating and controlling the traffic
and, in fact, conserving the ends of
temperance than all the prohibitory
enactments since the world began.
A few days later, forced by the ext
gencies of reply to a correspondent, the
Tribune parades the growth of the Ii
ouor business in the United States in
this fashion:
The correspondent should not lose
sight of the fact that the production
of liquor in the United States, ac-
cording to the latest official figures at
hand, those for 1905, was 49,592,029
gallons of fermented liquor and 1884,
259,37s gallons of spirits, the largest
up to that time IN any year in the
history of the country. In 1906 there
was imported from other countries
into the United States 14,709,753 gal
Ions of liquor, the largest quantity inn
ported in any one year UP to that date.
The United States internal revenue
tax paid on distilled spirits in 1906
amounted to $143, 94,O55, and $55,641,-
$50 on fermented liquor, the largest in
any single year to that date. The Of
fetal figures show steady increase in
the consumption of liquor in this
country.
The calamity is that comparatively few
of the TyibH11p'S readers Will connect the

ANNUAL SUPPER
0fthe Young America Steam Fire
Engine Company.
Interrupted by an Alarm OF Fire,
Which Called the Gallant Firemen
From Refreshmcnt to Labor.

From Refreshmcnt to Labor.
The gallant Young America Steam
Fire Engine Company held its ami
veTsary supper on last Friday eve
ming at their hall on Church Street
The supper was a great success and
was erjoyed by all who attended
Besides the members of the company
there were present several invited
guests, who in the long ago were
members of the companies. The
Young America is the oldest company
in the department, and has done
much hard and valuable work for the
city in fighting the fire fiend. We use
to be an active member of this fine
company and regret very much that
we could not meet with the boys over
their annual spread en- Friday night.
After those present had feasted on
the good things of which the supper
was composed to, their satisfaction,
Chief T. o. S. Dibble, who was the
master of the feast, called on sew
eral Of those present for short talks.
Among those called on were Judge
J. F. Izlar, Mr.. F. S. Dibble, Alder
man Lathrop, Alderman Wertz and
Mr.. F. A. Schifley. They talked
principally Of the old fire department
and the part the Young America took
in the achievements Of the days gone
by. The speeches were all good and
were given close attention.
Just as Alderman Lathrop had
concluded his most excellent speech,
an alarm of fire was sounded and the
gallant fireman went to their re-
spective poses Of duty. They soon
got to the scene of the fire and went
to work. The fire was soon over,
when the firemen and their guests
returned to the hall, and concluded
the pleasant occasion by few more
speeches.
Taken all in all, the occasion was
a most delightful one, and will long
be remembered by all whose pleas
ure it was to be present. The Young
America like all the other companies
that compose our fire department,
has a fine record behind it and we
wish it long and prosperous future.
It's membership is composed of fine
lot of young men, who are always
ready to do their duty as brave fire
men, and they deserve the help and
encouragement Of the entire COM
munity.
