The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02

Advices now on file at national headquar-
tiers from every section of the country indi-
cate that the Prohibition reform will, during
1908 surpass even the splendid record of adj
vance made during the past twelve month.
I see no sign of reaction or of slackening
interest or enthusiasm so gratuitously pre-
dicted by some critics. On the other hand,
careful survey of the field must convince the
1907 is merely prelude to the greater and
more significant state and national Prohibi-
ton triumphs which the people now seem de-
termined to win in the immediate future.
The year 1907 has proved the most re-
markable year in the whole history of the
Prohibition movement.
In fact in some respects the reform has
made more apparent progress during the
twelvemonth just past than in the half CEN
fury preceding.
Public sentiment never was so thoroughly
enlisted on behalf of the cause, the daily and
secular weekly press were never so friendly,
with news and editorial columns constantly
open to the narration and discussion of it's
nationwide advance, and most significant of
all, the business and labor worlds, skeptical
of the practical results and effects of the
anti-liquor policy, have come at last to recog-
nize and actually endorse the force of the
economic argument so long preached to deaf
ears by every Prohibition agitator for more
than four decades.
What is the cause Of it all? Why is it that
public attention is suddenly focused upon
this movement, and that towns, cities, coun-
ties, states, and even the nation itself seem
all at once to have become absorbed stimuli
taneously, in this single issue, as if its in
slant solution were as it has indeed long been
asserted by our speakers, a matter of civic
life and death to the people and the republic.

THE YEARS PROGRE SS
BY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN JONES

Ihere is but one logical explanation. The
present hour is but the Towering of the Pro-
hibition century plant, dropped in American
soil at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, hundred
years ago by little band of temperance
pioneers led by DR.. BILLY j. CLARK, and
faithfully cared for and nurtured by ten dec
AIDES OF persistent and undiscourageable pa
trlots from LYMAN BEECHER and NEAL Dow
down to FRANCES WILLARD and the present
generation of thinking, speaking and indie
pendent voting organized Prohibitionists.
The Prohibition party, now everywhere in
line fettle, believes that the Prohibition issue
Will become the dominant issue in the Presi-
Dental contest of 1908 and that every party
IN the field will be forced by public senti-
ment, to recognize it in some wav or suffer
loss OF both prestige, votes, and influence.
One year ago, on January 1, 1907. there
were three Prohibition states, Maine. North
Dakota and Kansas, with total population
OF approximately 100000
Today there are six Prohibition states
with total population more than three
times greater than the figures of the first
three alone
The old charge that Prohibition could not be
made success in cities has been exploded for
years of efficient and sustained acknowledgements
in nearly all the leading Prohibition cities of tbe
nation as the result of aroused militant public
sentiment.
But the new well-known details of successful
Prohlb1tlon law enforcement in such cities as
Kansas City, and of Sunday closing in St T,o,is
Minneapolis and elsewhere are not the onlv refu
tat1on OF this thread-bare slur The testimony of
HWtV-three new cities in which Prohibition has
become law since January 1st, 1907, is in itself
the strongest sort of proof that the liquor mems
claim was specous and moreover embassies the
tact that the citizens of these municipalities can
no longer be deluded with such nonsense.
In view of all this the partv Prohibitionsts
believe that a majority of the voters of the
United States already in favor of Prohibi-
uon and need only organization and united ac-
ton to drive the drink curse from all America
congress may or may not pass the long de-
handed interstate Prohibition protective measures
now before it, the result in either case will in
evitably be to greatly strengthen the question as
national issue If Congress fails to pass the
Lttleheld bill and similar legislation, it will en-
rage millions of now nominal Prohibitionists in
every section to the fighting point, and woe to
the parties that are responsible
If Congress does at length pass these bills. it
will tremendously encourage the Prohibition
forces and force the issue straight into the ma
tiona arena.
In any event the Prohibition party, Thoroughly
and practically organized in every important state
in the Union, has already inaugurated the great
est campaign in its history and with this conf

TIRED OF CHEAP AND
ROUGH SENSATlONALISM

People who tire of the cheap and
rough s~enationalism stuff in so-called
melodramas will have a chance to L.
refreshed by a comedy with an admir-.
able admixture of true melodrama
when Big Hearted jim" comes here
and it is due at the Opera House to
morrow, Thursday night, March -.
This is the third successful season
for the play, and Mr.. Harry ]. Jack
son will be seen here in the tue role,
supported by the talented actress, Miss
Bertha Julian and an excellent sup.
porting company. Specialtes will be
introduced throughout the play, and
all properties, scenery and electric
effects, the same a. the original pro
duction, will be carried. Not the least
interesting thing will be the equine
Observation-Disclosures horse especially
chosen for his fitness for the part.

SUGGESTED CURES FOR
CHllDREN'S EARACHE.

This trouble, SO often common with
little children, is a severe pain, I'M is
usually accompanied by a sharp
scream. The pain is likely to be pro-
longed n continuous. Twenty drops
of warm water should be put into the
and a poultice of faxseed applied
warm, but not too hot, or a hot-water
bag may be held against the a A
good device is to fill the little finger of
a kid glove with hot salt and insert
this in the ear before the heat is ap-
piled from the outside.

Sweet Potatoes, Mexican stvIe.

Boil them until tender, peel and cut
In halves longwise. Put one table
spoonful of butter and two of minced
onion into a saucepan and brown.
Add one heaping tablespoonful each
of green and red peppers, minced,
two tablespoonfuls Of tomato catsup,
one of vinegar, and a teaspoonful of
brown sugar. Stir well and pour over
the potatoes.-Vogue.

HOT CURLING TONGS

Unless a woman really desires to be
gray long before her time, the constant
use of tongs to make the hair curl is
not to be thought of, for the heat from
the irons cannot fail to dry out the
natural oil in the tresses, making them
crisp, broken n often gray. Instead
of waving the hair by this injurious
heat process, substitute patent wavers
or liquid curling preparations.

was made but they denied the truth
of the report. Editor Sheba, who Is
said to be cooperating with Smit, was
absent and nothing definite could be

when asked by telephone. stated that
he was telephoned for to accompany

Editor Kimura of the Japanese
Chronicle is under the weather to-

his absence, however, an answer was
obtained from the editorial stan of

Mr.. Kimura was asked to go up

Chronicle. Il could not accept the
invitation. Editor Smlt was willing
to accompany the japanese editors
in an interview with Governor Frear,
ihe Idea was to oppose the reappoint-
ment Of Pinkham as President of the
Board of Health. Personally, am
opposed to doing this. Consul Saito
advised us against creating a sensa-

that reason Il is expected that no
