Reply Of the Liquor Men.
The National Model License league,
with headquarters at st. Louis, has
started in on its national fight against
the an%ti-saloon and local option forces
by issuing q circular directed solely
against prohibition. 1t comedies that
the "lawless saloon is a fruitful source
Of human wretchedness." 1t says that
Grant died from smoking. a habit he
formed because of a prohibitory law.
and that prohibition increases the num-
Der Of liquor dealers, causes more crime
and public corruption and deprives the
state Of its largest source Of revenue
1t charges that under the prohibitory
law Kansas has declined from wealth
to poverty and degradation.
Hearst to "Go Il Alone"
w. R. Hearst has authorized the an
nouncement that the independence
league will not support Roosevelt, Bry-
an or johnson in the coming campaign
for the presidency, but will nominate
it's own ticket. He says the league will
vote for its candidates with a strength
likely to be a revelation to the old par
ties and that IF 1t does not elect this
candidate of its own in this particular
election it is going to lay the solid
foundation for doing so in the next"

ing the substitute financial bill drawn
by himself for the minority Of the
finance committee. 1t provides for n
government currency free from bank
control.
More Naval Critics Heard.
Two admirals Of the navy, Goodrich
and Remey. told the senate committee
on naval affairs that the armor belt IN
most Of the %battleships had been placed
too low to be effective In battle. Re-
mey thought that a ship should go into
battle with a full load of supplies.
Both he and Goodrich said the armor
should be half above the water line.
On March 10 Captain MGR. Winslow Of
the bureau of navigation confirmed
the statement of Reuterdahl and Sims
that the ships under Evans were over
draft when they left Hampton Roads.
Commander Key also vas prepared to
point out many defects in construction,
but the committee treated him in the
same curt way that it had Sims.
Negro Dismissals Uphold.
simultaneously the senate received
the several reports Of the committee
on military affairs on the Brownsville
shooting ARRAY, for which three COM
panies Of the Twenty-f1fth (negro) reg
iment were dismissed without honor.
and a message from the president ask
ing Legislation extending the time of
IN order permitting any n of the dis
missed soldiers to %re-enlist who al
prove his innocence to the satisfaction
of the president. The majority report
of the committee finds that the shoot
ing was done by "some of the soldiers
of the Twenty-ffth," although there
were some contradictions in the testi-
mony. The principal minority report.
signed by Senator Scott and others,
takes the ground that ut has been i'm
possible to prove who did the shoot
ing and that the soldiers should be
restored. Another report signed by
Foraker alone holds that the dismissed
soldiers r innocent. A fourth report
says it Is fair to assume that all of the
dismissed men were not implicated.

Move to Curb tho Speaker.
Hayes Of California. a Republican
member of the house. is circulating a
petition pledging support to q motion
to take much Of the arbitrary power
Of the speaker away by making the
committee on rules elective and to
consist of seven instead of five men,
bers. At present the speaker has the
appointment of this all powerful COM
mittee Of five. The immediate object
Of this movement is to prevent the
forcing Of the Aldrich bill through the
house.
Preparing For an Extra Session.
Representative Sherman. with the
knowledge and consent of the speaker,
is circulating among members Of the
house a request that the committee on
ways and means sit during the next
recess to collect tariff data on which
revision work may proceed without
delay at an extra session of the next
congress. AS now understood among
Republican leaders, this work will
be begun March Is, 1909. The sitting
of the committee during the campaign
is expected to give assurance that re-
vision is at hand.

GEOLOGIC
A Dutch Communist Heard.

n 0UtCn communist reaFos
DR.. Frederick Van Eeden. noted as
the foremost writer and sociologist of
Holland, came all the way to New
York to tell the Civic forum about his
experiments and beliefs in practical
communism. First in a small farm
colony known as Walden and later in
q large commercial enterprise in aid
of the unemployed Of his WI land, DR..
Van Eeden told how he had tried to
enable workers to cooperate in self
supporting Industries in the spirit of
brotherhood and good will. Although
both had resulted in pecuniary disas-
ter, he was more than ever convinced
that the solution Of u social prob
lens lay in this direction. He pro-
poses to form a great. growing labor
salvation army" to do the business of
the world OF the mutual benefit plan,
but he admits that to succeed 1t must
be guided by a Commercial and or
ganizing genius" Under existing con-
ditions he calls the United States a
common misery instead of a com
monwealth and says that the statue of
Liberty is a cruel mockery.
Women In Civic Federation.
To form a national woman's CON-
mittee Of the National Civic federation
vas the purpose Of a meeting of
wealthy New York women at the home
Of Miss Anne Morgan, daughter Of ].
P. Morgan, a few days ago. The COM
mittee will interest itself in welfare
work among factory women and other
workers. Mrs. j. Borden Hartman
told the ladies that it was not a mat
ter Of charity, but that "a decent,
wholesome environment for the work
er has come to be a part of the social
and civic obligation Of the modern en-
ployer." She asked, SHOULD not the
woman who spends the money which
the employee helps to provide take a
special interest in their welfare, espe-
cially in that Of the women wage earn
ers?" Mrs. A. Alexander was chosen
president. Branches are to be formed
in many cities. and the plan of battle
is to appeal direct to the owners and
managers of the various industries for
betterments.
Mothers Congress at Washington.
Under the auspices of the National
Mothers Congress, which was started
eleven years ago, an international con
ference on the child was held at WASH
ington last week, Mrs. Frederick
schof presiding. The day before the
mothers already there had called on
President Roosevelt and had received
q spirited address emphasizing his
we'll known views on race suicide. He
told them that the mother who does
her part toward the rearing and train
ing of the boys and girls Of the coming
generation occupies "a more honorable
as we'll as a more important position
in the community than any man in it"

ESCAPE
FROM FOREST FIRES
Get Aid From Green Bay.

Forest fires broke out in the
woods just south OF town last
Thursday afternoon and for two
days Wabeno and soperton were
in great danger of being des-
troyed by fire.
The wind was blowing toward
the north and east and the fire
spread rapidly toward town. Al
five o'clock the danger was SO
great that Chairman A. j. Tipler
wired to Green Bay for help.
Green Bay responded promptly
and at one o'clock q special train
with an engine and fire appara-
tus and forty men arrived and
Immediately went 60 work.
All day Friday and Saturday
nearly every man in Wabeno and
.Soperton in addition to the force
from Green Bay were out fight
ing fires. All OF the business
places we're locked up and every
available man was forced 60
work.
All along the south side of
town from Wabeno to Soperton
was all ablase and cinders and
fire brands fell on main street.
Many families pa k ed their
clothes a n d valuables and on
Saturday about seventy women
and children from Soperton went
to Marinette and Menominee.
There We're forty trunks at the
platform at Soperton but the
south bound train was only able
to take thirty seven Of them.
Saturday evening the wind
went down and the men got the
fire under control. Luckily no
buildings were burned except q
log house south OF town which
had been used as a pest house.
