he would like to take a little of Nc

cold cash that he would bet at the
odds of 1925 to 800 that Judge Virgil

TAFT AND BUSCH

The announcement in the daily papers that
Mr.. ADoLPHUS BUSCH the millionaire brewer of
ST. Louis, has declared in an interview in New
York that "the moment that BILL TAFT is nom-
mated in Chicago hard times will cease" gives
tmeliness to an answer to numerous questions
concerning Mr.. TAFT which have been addressed
to this Office A number of correspondents have
desired to know whether it is true, it has been
at times reported that Mr.. TAFT has favored
proposition to reimburse the saloonkeepers of
San Francisco for the loss which they sustained
when their stocks of liquor were destroyed by
the United States soldiers during the conhagra-
ton that followed the earthquake in that city,
to save the city from the drunken riot that
threatened.
On December 21 1906 the Hon VIM. F. TAFT,
Secretary of War, sent to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives a communication rec
ommending that the liquor dealers of San Fran
cisco should be reimbursed for liquors destroyed
i'll connection with the San Francisco fire. This
matter is published in House Document No. 376
OF the second session of the 59th Congress.
While we at loss to assign any reason
because of which Mr.. BUSCH should have been
dissatisfied with the attitude of the present adj
ministration toward his business, we recognize
that the gentleman has every ground to view the
prospective nomination Of Mr. TAFT with great
satisfaction.

THE SOCIALISTS AND PROHIBITION

Those good people who were so sure few
weeks ago that the Socialist national convention
would place Prohibition plank in its platform,
probably somewhat disappointed and per-
haps saddened when that body expressed its
views upon the most important question before
the American people in Temperance plank of
about the same character that would be expected
from convention of brewers. The convention
in special resolution said:
1--WE recognize the evils arising from the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors, especially
those which adulterated, and we declare that
any excessive of such liquors by the working
class postpones the day of the final triumph of
our cause. But we do not believe that alcohol
powers under the capitastic system. Alcoholism
is a disease and it can be cured best by the
stopping of undertaking, overwork and under
wages which result from the present wage sys-
tenn
When the platform was presented for adoption
it is said that there was found be in its original
draft sentence that might be interpreted as ap-
proving Prohibition as it has been adopted in
Finland, and this was eliminated with great flu
ror according to the reports of the daily papers.
The National PYohibitionist has no quarrel
with the Socialists and is inclined to look upon
the Socialistic movement as one of the elements
that make for progress; but if the delegates who
represented the Socialist party in its convention
in this city represent the party at large, and if
the party at large considers alt questions of pub
lie importance with the same lack of intelligence

CHICAGO'S OUTBURST OF ANARc HY

Last week witnessed another outbreak of the
most dangerous anarchists who threaten the per-
manency of civilization in the city of Chicago.
The interests will kindly refrain from applause
until we have concluded, for we are not referring
to the convention of the Socialistic party which
was held in this city, but to the action of Chi
cago's chief of police in attempting to prevent
the Socialist leaders from exhibiting upon
screen in front of their hall certain stereopticon
pictures intended to represent the contrast be-
tween wealth and poverty in the United States.
That action, in judgment, was directly in
violation of the guarantees of the Constitution of
the United States, an act tyrannical as might
have been expected from the police of Russian
city and calculated to provoke the gravest mis-
chief and disorder, though thoroughly in har-
mony with the law-defyng course of Chicagos
chief of police and his superiors and interiors
in office
That sort of violence that finds expression in
assassination, bomb-throwing and public outrages
of similar character is fostered far more by po-
lice lawessness and by the general character of
American municipal government than by the
propaganda of the most reckless fanatics of the
most extreme degree of social heresy. If some
day in the near future real anarchist shall make
a real attempt to take the life of the chief of
cago's crowded streets or buildings, it will not
be necessary to hunt for poor, foolish Emma
Goldman, nor yet to lay the blame upon the spirit
of old Herr Most; sufficient explanation can be
found in the fact that the police department and
municipal government of the city of Chicago
teach the people disrespect and contempt for law.

BRYANs opposition to Prohibition, not only in the

though he may have some sight-of-hand trick
by which he escapes the copious alcoholic pOta-
tons of his numerous banquets, is upon record

GEORGE w. PECK, one-time mayor of Milwau

from the authorship of 'Peck's Bad Boy" is

vulgar.ty of "Pecks Bad Boy" to get a little,

says; and probably Mr.. Peck believes his state

to know that in not one of the points which he
enumerates can any convention of the Socialist
party claim the slightest superiority over con-
vention of the Prohibition party.
Of course, he did not add to his laudation of
his party convention any statement like this

that carries alarm to the liquor traffic." though
he might very truthfully have said of it, THE
Socialist convention is not the only convention
with the action of which the liquor traffic is
perfectly satisfied"

CURTIS SLIPS AGAIN

Mr. WILLIAM E. CURTIS, in another of his
articles upon Prohibition in the South, appearing
in the Chicago Record-Herald, says
MANY of the wisest men in the state, and
those who are most anxious for the welfare OF
the young believe it would be well to repeal
the Prohibition law and enact some legislation
that will prevent this secret traffic by express.
They believe that is doing more harm than was
ever done by the saloons, and is demorallzlng
the better classes of the community
We regret to seem pessimistic, but we can
lcol upon this as nothing other than lapse
Of Mr. CURTIS into his old way of seeing things
that do not exist and reporting facts that never
WERE in the interests of the liquor traffic We
have not the slightest hesitation in asserting
and every fact supports the assertion that
ar,ong "thc wisest IF thu state of Georgia
and chose who are most anxious for the well
fare of the young there are none who favor the
repeal of the Prohibition law So far any
sentiment for the repeal of that law exists i'll
the state of Georgia, it exists among the one
time liquor sellers and their political supporters
and the willing slaves of the drink habit who
find their convenience in obtaining alcoholic
poisons curtailed by the Prohibition law.

If the action of the Methodist Episcopal Gen
eral Conference, in session at Baltimore, has been
correctly reported by the daily press, and that
body did formally express the opinion that none
save total abstainer and a man known to be
committed to the abolition of the drink traffic
ought to receive the votes of American Chris
tians for the high office of the Presidency, it IS
difficult to understand how the utterance can be
interpreted so as to fail to oppose the election of
every man who has up to this time been suggested
