MILLIONS For DEyENsE-A late
Washington dispatch says that it is
officially estimated that total ex-
penditure of IS, SIS, 349 is required to
complete the military defenses of
Puget Sound according to the present
plan Of the War department. This
figure was named by Gen. Mackenzie
and Col. Addot, of the engineer corps,
who recently testified before the
House committee on appropriations
behind closed doors. The testimony
has now been made public. 1t further
appears that the War Department
calls for an appropriation of 81, l35,
900 for work on Puget Sound during
the coming fiscal year. This is
larger appropriation than is recon-
mended for any other point in the
United States, except the mouth OF
Chesapeake Bay.

IT seems that the Prohibition SEN
timent that which has been gaining
such q steady increase of current all
over the country has passed its flood
tide and even now a perceptible ebb
can be seen for less stringent and
more positive way of dealing with the
subject. 1t is very generally recog-
nized, nowadays, that a law to be eff
fective, must be backed by sentiment
of the people. Local option would
seem to supply just the policy that
would seem fair, equable, and in ac-
cord with the principles popular gov
eminent. A resolution has been
introduced in the Legislature of Ok
lahoma for submission of q Constiu-
tional amendment for high-license
and local option. In counties and
cities where majority is against the
amendment the constitutional prOvis-
ion of prohibition will remain opera
tive. Another straw: In Mississippi
pi, Constitutional prohibition has
been defeated in the Senate by a vote
of 10 to 81, where sentiment had
been strongly in its favor.

THE CHAUTAUQUA PLAN FOR TEMP
ERANcE.-A Chicago dispatch of the
18th ult. declares that there are
forty lecturers in the field, most OF
them minister's" who are seeking to
show people the evils of Prohibition.
The workers consist of both men and
women, and will make speeches in all
the principal towns of the State.
W. E. Hull, general manager of the
movement, says: 1--WE are not
fighting temperance, but Prohibi.
ton. The demand for stimulating
drinks is worldwide, and I say it is
much more profitable for a commun-
ity to have saloons which pay IL
cense than that the liquor should be
dealt out by STEALTH

WHO ever heard of an orthodox
church maintaining a ballroom, for
encouraging attendance at its meet
ings? The Hartford Conn., Memoir
ial Baptist Church has done so, how
ever, although the photography of
its name is spelled somewhat diff
ferently. 1t is, in fact, a "bawl'
room, for the care of babies, while
the mothers engage in their worship,
q place where salvation and soothing
syrup 60 hand-in-hand in the place
for final redemption. 1t is in fact q
nursery, in a remote part of the
basement, where babies may be
checked, while the mothers meet in
the main part of the edifice to seek
divine aid from prayer. The women
of the congregation take turns in
caring for the little ones.

DOES ProHIBITION PRoHIBlT?-Fig-
ures from the annual report of the
Maine State prison for 1907 present
some interesting facts in reference to
the prohibition laws of the State and
their effect. The increase of commit
ments over 1906 was !, 2S6, and illegal
selling of.liquor 900, nearly two thirds
of the total increase. Some idea OF
the aggregate may be formed by the
violations of law in a few leading
counties. Take Androscoggin, for
instance. The total commitments in
1907 were $50, of which 5l4 were for
intoxication and al Illegal selling;
while the previous year, the total
commitments were 13S, of which BOY
were for drunkenness and l4S for
" hoot-lcgging.' This shows an in
crease of 30 per cent. In Cumbcr-
land county, of which Portland is the
county seat and the largest city in
the State, the total commitments
last year, were 1871 of which 1,OO7
were for selling. The previous year,
out of ,23S commitments there were
only 435 DRINKS, though an increase
in the number of blind pigs" In
PcnobscOt county, the total number
of commitments was 1,043, for last
year. Here too there was a consider
able advance over the figures of 1906.
In the whole State Al were commit
ted for blind pigging." OF the 16
counties, not one was free from COM
mitments for violation of the non
selling law.

Not a Party Influence.

The Republican newspapers are commenting quite
fully on the remarks of John F. Nugent before the
Democratic Club of Ada County concerning his part
in the last campaign.
What startled them was this statement by Mr.. MI
gent II have freely spent time and money for the
success of the Democratic ticket During the last
campaign | spent more money for the success of
the ticket than spent by any in the
state before"
Some of these newspapers try to make political
capital against the Democratic party on account of

Mt NugentS utteranCeS. 1t is fa1r to say, now
ever, but few of them do this. Mr.. Nugent was
the attorney for the Western Federation of Miners
before and during the campaign.
Mr. Nugent was opposed to the policy of the
Democratic party then as he is now. At that time,
as now, he wanted the Mormons and the Democratic
party to combine. Mr.. Nugent did not represent
the Democratic party during the last campaign,
does he claim that he did He is very careful in
his language in that regard and avoids giving
impression that he spent his time money by
direction of, with the sanction approval of,
the Democratic party organization.
The consensus of opinion is that Mr. Nugent
spent his money to defeat Governor Goodng and
Judge Smith, and that he was successful in great
ly reducing Governor Gooding's vote in this and
Canyon and other counties, and in encompassing
the defeat of Judge Smith.
Mr. Nugent did not, a matter of fact, represent
the Democratic party in any official capacity what
ever, nor spend money for the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket. The Democratic ticket not bene-
fitted at all by his activity The candidate for Gov
the Democratic ticket and the candidate
for Judge on the Democratic ticket in the Caldwell
District, may have profited by his expenditure of
money, but the Democratic party and Democratic
candidates the State County and Judicial tickets
certainly did not.
Mr. Nugent wanted an alliance of the Democrats
and Mormons Mr.. Nugent represented the West
Federation of Miners.
Mr. Nugent wants a combination between
the Democrats and Mormons There is no escaping
the plain inference that what Mr.. Nugent desired
during the last campaign and what he desires now,
is a combination between the Western Federation
the Mormons and the Democratic party This is
precisely what those who stand with Mr.. Nugent and
Judge Perky in demanding that the Democratic party
abandon its fight Mormonism intend. The Demo
cratic party did not receive the Mormon vote nor
the Western Federation vote at the last election.
The Democratic party would stultify itself beyond
any hope of future redemption, should it compromise
its present attitude in the slightest degree in order to
secure the Mormon vote and the Western Fedora
ton in the next election.
Mr. Nugent is always frank and manly, and
when he made his utterance in the club he acted de-
liberately. He doubt is perfectly content to
stand by his speech and by his action in the last
campaign. The Democratic party, however, is not
responsible for what Mr.. Nugent did during the
last campaign said at the club The Democratic
party has refused up-to-date, to subscribe to Mr..
Nugent's views to the party policy

hope for Mormon support on the pledge to the
Mormons that they will vote them the money claimed
by them under the sugar bounty act. The Demo-
Gratis demanded in their State platform change of
law in order to try cases of polygamous
living in non Mormon communities The Mormons
and their Republican allies undertook to meet this
demand and allay agitation, by passing change of
law, leaving it within the absolute discre-
ton of the court officers in the control of the Nor
mons, whether not a change of venue shall be
granted
The Democrats demanded in their platform vital
statistic law which should provide for a registra-
ton of births.
The Mormons and their Republican allies met
this demand by passing a law, which is cumber-
some but which might be made useful in locating
polygamous children, but the Governor nullihed it
for the time being by appointing Mormon and an
alleged polygamist, president of the board and
the law surrounds him with machine Republican Of
fcials. The president of the board of health DR..
Hyde, lives in Rexburg, the heart of Mormondom,
and will carefully to it that the demand is not
met, that poygamous children shall be registered.
The Democrats have demanded law against
lawful cohabitation The Mormons will not allow
the passage of such measure. With the aroused
public sentiment which has compelled the Mormons
and their Republican allies to attempt to fool the
people by ineffective legislation there is every en-
couragement for the Democratic party to press the
fighting
The Democrats demand that the constitution
of the State shall be lived up to- They insist that
the constitutional test oath be made effective by
legislation. Nineteen Republican members of the
last Legislature voted with the Democrats to make
it effective. The Republican party is hard pressed
1t has exhausted every effort to deceive the people
on the Mormon question The Mormons are in
absolute control of the Republican party. They
have abandoned one position after another, and
must make a stand for another battle. Their Nor
mon allies, whom they have relied for victory
heretofore, their weakness They cannot
hold the rank and file of their own army and at the
same time submit to the domination of the Nor
mons. They cannot free themselves from Mormon
dictation so long as the machine and Mormons con-
troll the party
On the other hand, the Democratic party is full
of the courage inspired by high purpose. 1t is MAX
ing its fight against lecherous and criminal
misnamed a church, against the union
of church and state and for the purity of the Amer
lean home. Filled with high resolve and without
fear misgiving it is ready to do battle for high
principle against its demoralized enemy.

Special to Times Republican.


Hampton, June Ga coroner's in
quest was held here yesterday after
noon in the case of James e. Murray,
the man who was found dead short
distance northwest of town Thursday
afternoon. The jury was composed of
Rowe, and the verdict arrived at was
to the effect that the deceased came to
his death from causes unknowned to
the jury. While the marks about his
face and neck may have been suffice
lent to cause death, yet there is room
for doubt. BY some the theory Is ad-
vanced that he might have been vic
tim of heart disease, a fit, or even a
severe fall, as he lay near some logs,
and a stone, when found.
No arrests have been made as yet,
altho two parties who were in the
vicinity a short time before, and have
since disappeared. are strongly sus-
pected, and may soon be unprecedented.
The dead mans height was five feet,
six inches. He was strong and mus
cular build, had a scar on his right
temple, another on the left side, and
one evidently the result of an opera
ton for appendicitis.
