WASHINGTON. March 3I.-The Cali

terdsy that they had supported the
Los Angeles plan to acquire the Owens
river water supply were hoist by their
own petsrds today by Forester Pinchot.
assisted by Representative McLachlan.
The Los Angeles Congressman produced
letters from every California congress
man except Smith and Kahn approx
ing the plan to convert Owens river
valley into q forest reserve in order
that the Los Angeles water system
might be installed. Smith has been
opposed 10 the project from the first
and Kahn was in Europe when the mat
ter came up.
The others all wrote that they had
no objection to the project Forester
Pinchot said today:
I told Representative Smith last
year that we would act in accordance
with the wishes of the people or Cali
fornia as expressed through the 0sle-
cation. The members were asked about
the matter and all of them. except Mr-
Kahn, who was in Europe. replied by

again on the matter. Subsequently
senator Flint and I conferred on the
subject and I was again assured that
the delegation favored the plan, so
we went ahead; that is the substance
Of the whole matter
GOVERNMENT APPROVES
The utilization of the Owens river
supply by Los Angeles is approved by
the government as being in accord with
the law, which seeks to confer the
greatest good upon the greatest num-
her ia the use OF water. Forester
Pinchot explained that while Los An
reIes may not use all the water for
domestic purposes at first, it must de-
vote the whole supply to beneficial uses
OF surrender It to Others. Therefore
the city may dispose Of the surplus
Cor power or irrigation purposes until
such time as It is needed for domestic
purposes. Los Angeles is building.
however, for the future and is trying
20 prevent the future supply from
falling into the hands Of nonopolists,
who would cinch the city. The Owens
valley people have never developed the
supply or given any evidence that they
were trying to DO so. according TO For

have been eager to gobble the sources
OF supply In anticipation Of Los An
seles' needs. It was to thwart them
and not 10 deprive settlers Of water
that the government co-operated with
Los Angeles in securing the supply
and the rights OF way.

during the next twelve months.
Through political influence and by the
corrupt employment of money, the liquor in
terests have the use Of the columns of hun
dreds Of daily papers. Dozens Of papers that
but few months ago were asserting their
independence and publishing the news re-
garding the Prohibition movement with
something of freedom, are now beginning
to be whipped back into line again, to retail
the liquor dealers falsehoods.
There never was an hour when Hell had
such power to make black appear white.
There is not corner of country town.
ship in all the United States which the
liquor lie will not reach again and again and
again before election.
Upon the desk of the editor Of this paper
already lie scores of letters, coming from
almost every state in the Union, appealing,
begging for special assistance against some
lying advertisement or some dishonest
write-up.
The whole country is flooded with the
traffic's falsehoods, and the tide is not yet at
full height.
If our people will gather to this fight; if
the Prohibition veterans who have stood true
in so many dark hours will rally with the
host of new recruits to meet this emergency
that comes at almost the sunrise hour of vic
tory, we can we'll welcome the assault of the
liars.
Truth, with even half chance, is thou
sand times stronger than falsehood.
The fve hundred mev subscribers that en-
thusiastic workers gave this paper last week
count for more than the reading of the brew
ers' and distillers' paid-for lies by $4,000
casual readers.
In this fact alone that is true: Almost
every one of those 500 new regular readers
will become, almost Immediately, center of
information for others.
Enough Of that means victory as sure as
sunrise
But, how wide is the field
Our propaganda does well, but while we
equal their $4,000 they reach 5,OO0,0OO.
We must do more. We must meet them
upon the 100000 scale.
Unless we do, how can we hope to win or
even to hold our own?
The national prohibitionist., 1908-03-19


tionsts ought to speak and think calmly and
sanely, but frankly and clearly. In this, the
brightest hour in the history of the reform,
we are confronted by grave conditions that
we must meet like brave and energetic men.
Last week the Model License League is
sued an address and set about it to place that
address IN the hands Of every voter IN the
United States.
1t was mass of falsehoods and misrepre-
sentations. Not single one of its state
ments was worthy of acceptance, but it was
so speciously written, it so boldly appealed
to authoritative statistics, that it will be be-
lieved by the larger part Of the people into
whose hands it comes, and, by the aid of
the daily papers, before these lines reach
their readers, not less than five million
American voters will have read the address,
and countless thousands of them will have
been influenced by it.
Perhaps the worst feature Of the case is
that, in large part, these voters will never
see a refutation of its statements and will
never know the truth. They will go on be-
ieving that Prohibition increases the num-
Der of liquor sellers and that more people
die of alcoholism in Prohibition states than
in license states. And their political action
will be influenced by their belief of those
statements Their votes, so influenced, help
govern or misgoyern the country.
True, The National Prohibitionist ana
lived the address and reached, perhaps, sew
enty-fve thousand voters with the analysis
and exposure of its fraudulent character.
The expose will be copied by perhaps enough
other Prohibition papers to make the whole
number reached with the facts, one hundred
thousand.
That means much; yet look at the show
ing:
The devils lie has been told to fue million
uoters
God Azmighty's truth has reached, per-
haps, hundred thousand of them.
This is simply case in point
The liquor traffic is driven into the open
and is making such fight for its life as it
never made before, as it never was obliged to
make before 1t has almost limitless fnan-
cial resources at its command. 1t is prob
ably no exaggeration to say that, if the

Co. a week of tremendous effort to meet
This situation brings every Prohibition
worker squarely up to crisis.
VIII he or aviU he not, now, do something,
something immediate, something conanaea-
smate with the necessity to get the truth q
hearing?
The only solution Of the problem that pre-
sents itself is an immediate and immense in
crease in the circulation of Prohibition lit
erature.
In the field of Prohibition literature, as
adequately meeting the necessities of the
case, The National Prohibitiomist may prop
erly be recognized as standing alone
The circulation Of this paper must be
more than doubled Immediately, to give the
Prohibition cause fighting chance against
the misrepresentation and falsehoods of the
LIQUOR interests that come in floods and are
hourly increasing.
How is this to be done?
We have, for months, been urging our
friends to help win wider hearing for the
recognized national organ of the Prohibition
movement.
Hundreds of workers have done magnif-
cent service along this line.
Many thousand new subscribers have been
secured, and in many thousand new homes
today the truth has hearing.
The difficulty is that it has been only hua-
dreds of Prohibition workers who have en-
listed in the cause, while the thousands of
Prohibitionists who have an equal interest
in the work and who have equal responsibility
for its doing, have withheld their help.
This is an appeal to the whole, great body
of more than fifty thousand Prohibition
workers who will read these lines
Will you not, every one, join in con-
certed, immediate, movement to give Truth
hearing?
There is special fitness in coupling this
work with the religious idea. Can you fancy
more magnificent sight than that which
would be offered if the great Christian
church, the representative of everlasting
Truth, could be seen rising in its might to
smite the liquor dealers falsehood?

with moon light, and, as is always
the case when our band plays, a large
crowd was ont 10 listen TO and enjoy
