HANDICAPPED INloUlTY.

Liquor dealers, as a class, are the same as the rest of us. Plenty of them are fond of their families and have quiet respect for the ways of decency. They have no wish to ruin girls, to lure married men into the company of women of the street, and to steal bread money from families with whom they are acquainted. Yet these things many of them do, because they have to live. How can they live with the brewer on their back and the assessment system working contin- uously? And it certainly is not to be supposed that the brewer, as an in dividual, is the central villain of the municipality. He is one more Ameri- can financier making long-distance profits. The brewer is a syndicate with absentee capital-a corporation, not an individual, organizing and con ducting business through a multitude of agents, layer on layer, so that the iniquity is well filtered before its pro ceeds reach the stockholder. It is not John Smith versus certain brew CT. It is John Smith at the bottom of great evil load, feebly groaning-a load composed equally of commercial ism and corruption, but his cry never reaches the gentleman gracefully pir- ouetting on the plateau at the top. Perhaps the brewers do not know these things. Here's telling them- Golfers.

us the novel satisfaction of being for once the leaders in the development of war material instead of copying others after lapse of five or six years. The Wrights have expressed the belief that they can give a government a five years lead in the development of the flying machine, and that the one which has the secret will be able to hold that lead for years longer by develop ing it's special knowledge. If, as they assert their 1907 machine can carry sufficient gasoline to fly five hundred miles at fifty miles an hour, they will have no trouble in meeting the armys demand for one that can carry fuel enough for a flight of hundred and twenty-five miles at forty miles an hour. That the Wright brothers can furnish practical flying machine is known by actual trials. What the others can do remains to be seen, al though MT. Herring was gaining ex- pedience with Chanute before the Wrights had ever thought of aerial navigation. If the year 1908 shall give to the United States not one but three birds of prey capable of sweeping upon an enemy at the rate of forty miles an hour, and all for 8 total cost of forty-six thousand dollars, the nations may pause little in their race to out do each other in the construction of battleships at ten million dollars apiece.-Collier's

FLEET AT SAN DIEGO.
Elaborate Preparations For Four-Day
 JubiIation In Harbor City.

Admiral Evans has informed Mayor John F. Forward, by wireless telegraph from Magdalena Bay, that the battle fleet will arrive at San Diego at 2:30 p. m., April IA, and will remain until April IS.
 In accordance with suggestions made by the Admiral, the land parade will be held on the 18th. Five thousand men and sixteen bands of music will be landed from the ships. The land contingent will be of about twice that size, with about the same number of bands. The soldiers stationed at Fort RosecranS will march, and the State Militia will also be included. Of civ ilians there will be turnouts by all the fraternal orders and various civic SO cieties, and about 4500 pupils of the city schools and the State Normal School. The parade will start in the early forenoon, and the sailors will have liberty after the march is done.
 Each evening there will be brilliant illuminations of the city, the harbor, the\feet and the merchant ships.
 Every craft on the bay will be strung with lanterns. On the second night will be display of fireworks from a great barge centrally anchored, and around this will pass in prescribed order the parade of yachts and launches, all aglow with colored lights.
 Boat races, daytime naval parade and review of the yachting fleet, the dances, concerts, banquets and base ball games will fill every hour of the four-day jubilee.

Taft on Prohibition.

Secretary William 81. Taft in his
work, "Four Aspects Of Civic Duty"
says:
"Nothing is more foolish, nothing
more utterly at variance with sound
policy than to enact law which, by
reason of conditions surrounding the
community is incapable of enforce
ment. Such instances are sometimes
presented by sumptuary laws, by
which the sale of intoxicating liquors
is prohibited under penalties in To-
calities where the public sentiment
of the immediate community does
not and will not sustain the enforce
ment of the law. In such cases the
legislation usually is the result of
agitation by the people in the country
districts, who are determined to make
their fellow citizens in the city better
The enactment of the law comes

who form a majority of the legisla-
ture, but the enforcement OF the law
is among the people who are gener
ally opposed to its enactment, and
under sush circumstances the law
is a dead letter. In cases where the
sale of liquor can not be prohibited
in fact, it is far better to regulate
than attempt to stamp it out.
by the enactment of the drastic
law and the failure to enforce it there
is injected into the public mind the
ideas that laws are to be observed or
violated accordieg to the will of those
affected. 1 need not say how altoge-
thor pernicious such loose theory is

of any law leads to a demoraiized

The Citizens Ticket

l.
........N. N. Mclean
....... Morton Strain
In another column We publish a
statement signed by large number
of the business men and citizens OF
Lamar giving their reasons, and sub
stantial ones too, why they are sup
porting the citizens ticket in the city
campaign this spring.
The men who sign this statement
are not afraid to go on record in sup
port of their belief, and they are not
saloon men or repeaters, neither are
they bribers nor corruptionists; they
have not raissd any campaign fund
to hire any one to besmirch the fair
name of Lamar nor their neighbors.
They are in this campaign, though,
earnestly for the best interests of
Lamar, the city all have worked SO
hard to make the best in the state,
and they cannot be frightened by
any attacks made on them or any
spithets that may be applied to them.
The statement was carried around
by a committeee OF business men,
who have no personal feeling against
the men on the other ticket, and had
no personal interest in the pettsr at
all other than to do that which they
believed to be for the best interest
of the town.
In the list will be found nearly 80
per cent of the heaviest taxpayers
of the city, who are residents here
and large number of other taxpsy-
ers and citizens generally. These
taxpayers believe that the great i'm
provsmsnts now under way in La
mar should be completed by the men
who have had them in charge so far,
and have tsmiliarizsd thems elves
with the work, and are opposed to
making any changes whatever in the
city council this year.
The members of the present city
council were all perfectly willing to
retire, realizing from experience that
the positions were neither rsmuner-
alive or productive of pleasure, but
the citizens convention believed it
was no time for q change, and they
were asked unanimously to continue
another term.
The conditions here imperstively
demand that the water works and
sewers be completed at once, and
the taxpayers expect the council to
20 ahead with the work, and do not
believe it good policy to hamper
them by any experiments with new
law that has never been tested either
in practice or the courts ye.. We
believe Lamar had better go ahead
with its much needed improvements
to protect the health of the people,
and let other towns experiment with
the Booth law. If it proves a safe
and good law, we can easily take it
up another time. 1t certainly has
loopholes enough that any one can
see, to insure very expensive litiga-
tion before it Gao ever be enforced.
