Is PROHIBITION REALLY INCREASING!
The National ProhiJitionist, of Chi.
cago and New York, in its issue oil
the 9th inst, quoting official Stats
tics showing the revenue received
from beer and spirits during 1906 to
have been $l99, OBS, 9l3, and in 1907
s2l5, 9O4, 72O, in an editorial makes
the following comments:
at seems to us that these figure show
as clearly as anything can be taught
that the kind of Prohibition which we
have had up to the present time is not a
cure for the drink-svil. and does not even
approach a cure. We are frequently
told that many millions. third perhaps
half. of the population of the United
States, Live under Prohibition" The
statement is true only in very modified
sense, and the showing Of the article in
question emphasizes its lack of exact
ness. In strict fact, no part of the Uni
ted States to-day, has real Prohibition.
The sale Of liquor is forbidden within
certain sections; the manufacture of lia-
uor is also forbidden within limited areas.
The forbidding is made good so far as
the manufacture is concerned, in the
greater part of the so.called Prohibition
territory, and We begin to have consid-
cradle sections of the country where
comparatively little liquor is sold, but
the results of drink selling, in the wider
sphere Of its influence, still reach the
whole country, and to q very large ex-
tent, through interstate commerce and
other means, drink selling goes on
throughout the whole country"

Now the Storm Begins to Lower.

The following special to the Orgy
n;,,a of Tuesday, will interest many
of our people. 1t indicates beyond
question that Judge Robinson is a
stalwart fighter, when aroused, and
he seems now to have donncd war
paint and his game is considerably
larger than bear. 1t is nevertheless
somewhat of a handicap that the
Judge has not yet learned the truth
Of the aiagc. Silence is golden, 3"
we'll enough to conceal his hand till
the game is made and the antcs
are all safely in the pot.
The President has been the only one
who has made anything like Il success
of hunting with Il brass band at his
back and press bureau by his side,
and it is said that his camp-followers
purchased Il pet bear and Stalked it
before the Strenuous one 5 uncrring
rifle.
But here is che reported interview
Judge J. w. Robinson, of Olympia, re-
Gently disbarred for six months by the
State Supreme Court for contempt, las
started campaign against the State adj
ministration. At the time of his disbar-
ment Robinson was understood to be "A
candidate for the Supreme Bench and
the court is said to have made his
punishment six months rather than a year
to avoid the charge that the court had
deliberately prevented his candidacy.
| Now it is understood here Robinson has
agreed to support the candidacy OF Judge
StephenJ. Chadwick of Whitman county,
Democrat, for the Supreme Bench, while
Robinson himself is an avOwed candidate
for Attorney General. In hope OF secur-
ing Democratic support, Robinson has
employed special help to check through
the vouchers in the State Auditors office
to see if the expenditures made by State
officers, including the Governor and
Assistant Acknowledgement r. & Mac
Donald, of Spokane, will disclose any
thing that can be used against the adj
ministratiOn in the campaign. Robinson
is particularly bitter against Assistant
Attorney General A. j. Falknor, who
drew the charges against him under
which he was disbarred, and is fighting
Macdonald because the latter is said to
be supporting Falknor in his efforts to
secure the Republican nomination fol
Attorney-Gene-al.

thority, fortnight ago, that the
single mills would remain closed in.

ment to about 1900 men. Still it
is admitted that none of the shingle

will not do SO till the rate question is

that the statement may be rather

farm laborers took their meals. Now
it is warning Of 100 Greeks import

At Vienna, last week, a chauffeur
who had fallen desperately in love

ance she threatened to inform the

huge rock, throwing out and kill

the Princess and her husband were

Luther S. Burbank has not succeeded
in producing a desert cactus entirely

Then, in the same interview and
