Science is doing wonders these days
in various directions. Nothing quite
SO noticeably great, perhaps, as the
telegraph, the telephone and the cleo
trio motor, yet developments and
knowledge of many kinds that gen.
Grafton ago would have seemed mira
culous, incredible. For example, we
scarcely more than momentarily notice
the incident that the other day man
talked Ey wireless telephone with his
wife so miles distant. as they were
passing, that far apart, in warships
blowing the Atlantic ocean. If any
body 30 or 20 years ago had predicted
that this would happen, he would
have been considered lunatio. Trans
continental trains, running at full
speed, are talking with one another by
the inductive system of telephoning.

A rich man in Cincinnati ordered

be had grown too big to go in it.
Lots of men and women order their
coffins in advance. They worry and
weaken their wills by worry over dis
astsrs that never come, difficulties they
never meet and rivers of trouble, they
never have to cross. Many lives have
been and are made miserable, hopeless
and prolitless because people refused to
move, or marry, or take place, or
enter a business for fear of contin-
gencies and risks that never came aud
duties and obligations that were mere
shams. Every home is cluttered and
Uttered with things that are kept
waiting for use on tins chance or that,
aud then never used-c coffins, all, that
have been ordered in advance. These
things are busted, and moved, aud
kept from the moths. and packed and
Iepacked, aud in the end all is waste,

PROHIBITION NOW, WHAT NExTi

Trout bles for the American saloon
are multiplying. For year the NOR
tality among them has been as great
as though q war of exter mination
were on. The swelling tide of local
option AID prohititicn has swept them
ont of existence al the rate of 80 day
for the country. and il promises to
keep up the rate till the end of the
year. at 80 feet frontage for each
doomed saloon. the destruction has
been at the rate of mile Of frontage a
week, or So miles for the year. 1t is
a career of havoc more extraordinary
than the most hopeful day dream of
the widest probibitionist. The year
began with three states wholly prohi-
bition, and now there are eight, Ar

but 100000 people of the country
lived in dry territory. there are now
38, 900, 900. Almost one balf the peo-
pie Of the nation are residents of the
arid zones with counties everywhere
almost tumbling over each other in the
scamper to get in out of the wet. The
tide is so pronounced and so apparently
Irresistible, that observers every
where are predicting that it is but
matter of few years until saloons will
be swept entirely from the rural dis
tricts, and be confined wholly to the
large cities. The big liquor men of
the country are almost ready to con-
fess as much, and are strenuous in
their appeals to retail liquor dealers to
elevate the tone of their places and re-
form their business methods in the
hope of arresting the relentless and
expanding crusade. The retailers are
called upon to cease violating the
laws, to stop selling liquor to minors
and to men already intoxicated. and
to chasten their establishments into
places of the best possible respecta-
bility. They are warned that the re-
form of their business may be too late.
but that in and through 1t lies the
only hope of stemming the tide of pro-
hibitive inundation that, at this mo-
ment, seems to foreshadow eventual
determination.
The movement is without parallel
or precedent. in American life, and in
its contemplation, the observer can
look into the future and seem to see
there similar momentous movements
in which the country may pass through
social and economic change equally
remarkable. May it not be chat, it

The conviction of the proprietor OF
Grants Pass hotel bar will no doubt
result in stopping the sale of near beer
and all alcoholic Temperance" drinks
in Josephine county. as the analysis of
the chemist, admitted in court, proved
conolusively that such drinks contain
alcohol. Judge Hanna's instructions
to the jury, which are precedent in
that jurisdiction, were that any ap-
preciaEle percentage of alcohol makes
a drink Intoxicating, therefore it is
prohibitive under the law. Soft drink

SO that it can find him. Luck some
times walks up and collars an idler,

whittlings. Neither is it in stream
