"FORRID HIM NOT

The impending subject of prohibi- lion has been pretty well gone over pro and con in the columns of The Republican within the last two weeks and much light has been shed upon ii from both sides. The arguments have been generally to the point. deal ing with the probable practical results of prohibition in this community. Whether or not the arguments on eith- or side have always been convincing they have always been interesting
 Some of them have been more or less irreyelant but that has not detracted from their interest.
 We have especially in mind state ment made by a correspondent yester- day morning. in a side remark, to the effect that the Keeley cure was an ad- junct of the whisky ring.
 We cannot help believing that that sentiment is a re-echO Of-shall we say the intolerance which criticised the efforts of John B. Cough and Francis Murphy and other eminent temper ance workers. who though advocates of teetotalism appealed to the indi- viduaI to reform himself rather than to the community to reform him. They were not antagonistic to the prohibi- ton movement yet many prohibition leaders believed that their efforts were wasted. that they were working at cross purposes with those whose aim was to make individual reform un- necessary: or, as We once heard a speaker say in illustration of the fu- tilitv of their efforts, they were en- gagged in chasing here and there d small hog out of a field of growing corn which in the meantime was be- ing devoured by the rest of the invad- ing herd.
 Our correspondent fails to take ac- count Of the men who have been made teetotallers by the Keeley and kin dred cures. Man were not perma- nently cured but thousands were re- stored and preserved to lives of use fitness. many to lives of eminence Surely no adjunct of the whisky ring could become an agency for such wholesale salvation.
 The age-old trouble has been in lack of unanimits in the war against wrong.
 And John answered him saying. Master We saw one casting out devils in They name and he follOweth not us: and we forbade him because he follow eth rot ,;s
 But Jesus said. Forbid him not; for there is no man which shall do mir 2cie in my name, that can lightly speak evil O: me.

AN tARIY TASTf
 OF PROHIBITION
lt Is Reported That the Saloons of Phoenix Will Close on Thursday Night

It is quite likely that Phoenix will get foretaste of prohibition in ad- vance of the election next Saturday. It is said to be the plan of the saloon keepers to close their places of busi- ness at midnight of Thursday and keep them closed until the following Mon day or Tuesday. In the event that the election should go against them they will never reopen.
 On Thursday night at midnight the city licenses for the present quarter will expire. The quarterly license is s250 and the saloon keepers reason that tor one or two days business there is no use in taking any risk of losing that amount of money since there Is no definite provision for the refunding of any part of the license fee should prohibition prevail.
 The closing of the saloons will be induced by another consideration and that is between Thursday night and Monday there is only one day for bus mess anyhow The saloons will have to be closed on Saturday. the day of the special election and again they would be closed by ordinance on Sun day.
 District Attorney Bullard yesterday submitted tO the board of supervisors answers to some twenty questions asked him by both sides regarding the conduct of the election. He holds that the day will not be a holiday inasmuch as the election is 10 he general and not special; but that the saloons are re- quIred to close on all election days
 As to the matter of challenges it is the opinion of the district attor- ney that a challenge can be offered by a resident and citizen of the pre- cinct and that no one has a right to question the challenged party except

BEAUTIFYING A CITY.
American Towns as n Rule Pay Little
Attention TO Shade Trees.


In the beautifylng of city special
attention should be paid to shade trees
in the residence portions and in the
parks The st. Louis Globe Democrat
says:
I'm the most beautiful cities Of the
world the shade trees are scarcely sec
ond to architecture in pleasing effects.
The architects and city foresters sup
plement each other, and the most de-
lightful scenes are those in which the
efforts of both blend harmoniously.
American towns, as rule, spring up
without attention to shade trees. but
the time comes when the lack is pressed
upon public attention by comparison
with other cities that have been less
negligent. Specifically viewed, shade
trees are a minor item. But, in fact,
they are one Of the most important
branches of municipal work. They add
to the value Of property to an extent
but little understood, though every pur-
chaser OF home knows how much he
Is attracted by well-shaded street. A
few well-developed shade trees on a va
cant lot, with other good specimens
along the curbs, are sure to bring along
customers willing to pay little higher
price than on a naked highway. The
general vlstas Of a well-planted neigh
borhood are worth still more All large
cities are multiplying parks and boule-
wards in which trees, shrubbery and
lawns are main consideration. Com
pare the price of property in such lo-
calities with that in other sections, out
side of business, and a true idea Is
formed of values and their basis.
Shade trees are property of n precious
kind.
'The city shade tree should be a spe-
cial object of care on the part Of the
municipal authorities. 1t should be
guarded and protected. No person
should be allowed to hitch horse to 1t.
No candidate or other advertiser should
be permitted to tack a placard on it, or
allow 1t to be abused in any way. Not
only should the planting of trees in a
city be encouraged and the trees out
side Of the city along roads should be
conserved and protected for the pub
lie benefit. 1t Is shocking to see fine
forest trees along the Glendale trolley
line and along the turnpikes defaced
with all sorts of tin and paper signs
that are tackled upon them The trees
should be respected for the publlc's
sake"

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER."
Observation-Disclosures Rule Gives
Woman Her Inning.


Woman Her Inning.
Score one for the women.
Under the present management Of
the Astor Theater in New York every
woman who holds a seat coupon is un-
der contract to remove her hat IL she Is
requested to do So The agreement is
one of the terms on which the ticket Is
sold The man who conceived this idea
Is doubtless congratulating himself up
on the fact that he has solved the prob
lem presented when woman OCCASION
ally declines to lower her top hamper.
But In achieving his victory no has
come into collision with two other prob
lems
A woman inquiries with bland suavity
whether the management, having forced
the removal Of the hats, has provided
any place to put them There are the
veil and the hatpins as we'll rs the hats.
So long as their removal was volun-
tary act Of courtesy the women were
content to carry them on their laps or
tasten them on the backs OF the seats
before them. But under compulsion-
that is different matter.
The woman also asks with sweetness
but deep feeling whether the manage
ment has imposed a contract on the
male holders of seat coupons preventing
them from forcing women to arise be-
tween every two acts and crowdlng by
them that they may assuage their alco-
holic thirst. She suggests that the bib
nlous ones be compelled to purchase end
seats at slightly increased price or re-
train from imposing discomfort upon
those about them.
