AN EDITORIAL ALLIANCE
The Leap Year Courtship of the Storm
Lake Vidette and the lytton
Star of Iowa

DeSM ONES, Ia, Jan. 29.-Having lost
the county printing, to which she was
entitled. and feeling that she needs a
man to do the fighting and swearing
for her, Miss Elizabeth Sohm, editor
OF the Storm Lake Vidette has taken
advantage of leap year and proposed"
through her newspaper in this wise:
A constant fight for what rightfully
belongs to her is a wear and tear on
the nervous system Of any woman, and
we have come to the belief that in or
der to stay in newspaper work and
maintain our health we will have to
marry some good printer. 1t is leap
year and this may be considered as
proposal by any one who would be
qualified to fill the vacancy so evident
in the Vidette Office
G. A. Craig. the bachelor editor of
the LyttOn Star. accepts the proposal
OF marriage coming from such tai
ented woman cOnditionally in the last
issue of his paper, thus:
I'VE believe We are eligible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Sohm feels
ONiStS III IltT pTiNt SUOp. we are MIS-
souri, democrats of forty years stand
ing. considered good printers AS to
our fighting qualities, suffice to say
we come from a family that kills. On
the swearing proposition. our press
feeder says we'd be there with the
goods, as we swear in seven different
languages at once when things go
wrong on press nights.
But before we would agree to take
up fair LiZzie's burdens she would
have TO show credentials as to her
eligibility to the vacancy which we
have known existed for some time in
our own wigwam. She must know
how to make pancakes, fry ham and
eggs and make good coffee She must
have the staying qualities to chase a
dirty shirt up and down the wash
board until it becomes clean. She must
know how TO darn sox and the gable
end Of our trousers, etc. If the fair
editoress feels like filling a vacancy
for a vacancy filled, we might make
a swap"

THANKS, MR.. PRESIDENT

Many Of us have felt for a long time and
still feel that Mr.. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
has exhibited a lamentable .slowness Gin
sorry contrast with his usual prompt, not
to say precipitous, ways) in failing to rec
ognize the saloon evil. A change has
dawned. At length, in measure-small
perhaps, but appreciate the President has
signifed that he recognizes what the saloon
is.
In his message of last week speaking of
certain undesirable citizens' he says that
they stand "om the same moral zevez
with the creature who fattens ON the blood
money of the gambling house and the So
LOOM"
That lacks good deal of offering a plat
form, but it serves as a definition and testi-
fes that, at least, the President is not liquor
blind. The saloon is thing of "blood
money" That will serve to start with.

THE WOBBLY POST

The Washington Post, with a delicate
touch Of the thoughtless, naive mendacity
for which it is justly famous, says:
1--WE also know that Prohibition has made more
liars than teetotalers, and has bred crop of law
breakers wherever it was enacted"
The statement is hardly worthy of digni-
flying in an argument. 1t simply is not true
It would be just as truthful and just as
reasonable to say that the law against horse
stealing has made thieves, and the law
against taking human life, murderers
Wherever any course of evil conduct is legis-
lated against, the men who disobey the law
find themselves, by that fact, under the laws
penalty. They become law-breakers, how
ever, not because the law was enacted but
because they chose to follow the evil course
forbidden by the law.
In spite of all this the Post feels con-
strained to conclude it's editorial with this
significant sentence:
"Yet if we had a Prohibition that prohibited it
would work wonders for happiness and prosper
ity."
1t probably would require the expenditure

THE ISTHMUS AND CONGRESS

While the Members of Congress and Sen
ators are questioning Colonel COCKTAILS con-
corning conditions upon the Isthmus, it is to
be hoped that some of them will have the cour-
age to make inquiries about moral affairs
there. Practically every member of both
houses has had the matter called to his atten-
ton, and in the case of few of them it was
the privilege of the editor of this paper to
point out to them actual conditions while
they we're upon the ground in Panama They
have information in plenty to conduct an in
vestigation.
There is no doubt that some of the most
glaring abuses which existed upon the
Isthmus a few months ago, have been cor
rected since, and directly because of the ex-
pose made in The Defender last spring. The
new Sunday closing law, the more extreme
regulations of the license law, little more
of ostensible decency in pushing prostitution
out of sight-these have come from that ex-
pose; but that conditions still are very far
from what they should be is also beyond
question.
Liquor is still sold the length of the Canal
Zone, and is doing its damnable work among
our young men, The cities of Colon and
Panama are still fostering with vice, cess
pools of every possible iniquity, and the
power of the United States government to
change all this is unquestionable.
Congress will be recreant to its duty if it
does not call this matter to the attention of
Colonel COCKTAILS, obtain from him full off
cial information upon the subject, and satisfy
itself and the moral people of the United
States that real reform will be at once intro
duced
