FOOL lEGiSLATION."

The following, headline and all is from the Saginaw (Mich) Evening | News:
 l Be it enacted by the senate and | house of representativ of the United | States of America in congress assem- bled. that no newspaper, circular. pam | phlet, or publication of any kind con
 taining an advertisement of any in | toXicating liquors shall be carried in
 the mail or delivered by any post
 master or letter carrier Any person who shall knowingly deposit or cause to be deposited, or shall knowingly send or cause to be sent, anything to ! be conveyed or delivered by mail in violation of this section, or who shall knowingly cause to be delivered by
 mail anything herein forbidden to be
 carried by mail, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction
 shall be punished by fine of not more
 than five hundred dollars or by impris-. Onment for not more than one year. or
 by both such fine and imprisonment, for each offense. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section may be proceeded against by informal
 ton or indictment and tried and pun
 ised, either in the district at which the unlawful publication was mailed or to
 which it is carried by mail for deliv- cry according to the direction thereon. or at which it is caused to be delivered
 by mail to the person to whom it is addressed.
 The foregoing is a copy of a bill in- troduced in the house of representa- tives by MT. Acheson. It represents the extreme to which temperance ad- vocates are going in their misguided attempts to bring about immediate and absolute prohibition. Such meas ures do the temperance movement in- , calculable harm They are as intem- perate in the one direction as unre- strained liquor traffic k in the other In their enthusiasm the prohibition ists lose sight of the indisputable fact that 1t is impossible to prohibit the ! use of intoxicating liquors. They for ! get that there is not a prohibition l state in the union that actually pro- 1 hibits and that there never will be prohibition in any state until the whole country voluntarily gives up the drinking of spirituous and malt re- 1

It is regarded by hundreds O; thousands of persons and thousands of reputa- ble doctors as q food and tonic. The same is true of wines and whisky in d less degree. Certain alcoholic prep arations are also recognized as hay ing valuable medicinal properties
 The bill introduced by Representa- tive Acheson would prevent the manu- facturerS of the various alcoholic bev- erages from advertising their products by letter. circular. newspaper or mag azine. It might with equal propriety forbid the use of the mails to those who publish advertisements of mince pie ingredients. on the ground that they are regarded hy many as hurtful to those who eat muce pie. or of red

pepper because it is hard on the stom ach. Advertisements of beers. wInes and whiskies are for the benefit of persons who purchase them for food or refreshment purposes; they enable dis eliminating persons tO select goods of the greatest purity and choicest qual- ity. In this respect these advertise ments are of real value to thousands of persons in e=eTy locality
 In drawing tbis line it is of course necessary to distinguish between the liquor business as performing the le- gitimate function of supplying the needs and luXuries of normal. fntelli- gent persons. and the liquor traffic as a degrading vice. It may be possible to prohibit the latter. but the former will continue so long as millions of honest. sensible. pure-minded. healthy persons regard beer as a nOurishins food and wine as a helpful tonic or

TEMPE
APRIL FOOL JOKES.
1t Was Wise Man Who Escaped Without Embarrassment of Some
 Sort.

Yesterday being April first, certain jokes were naturally expected. The residents of Tempe and vicinity seem ed to be in an especially good humor and jokes of one kind and another were rampant all day.
 Among the young people at the Nor nal, this condition existed to a marked degree. The members oS the faculty in general and Professor Johnson in particular. were made the victims of d rich joke that is well worth telling.
 It is customary during the regular opening exercises of the school for the student body to sing several selec- tiOns under the direction of Professor Johnson. Yesterday morning as usual the professor announced a selection, ''All Through the Night a rather sol emn number entirely fitting to the oc- casion. The young lady who presides at the piano took her seat as usual and played the opening measure; Professor Johnson gave the customary signal and to his surprise as well as that of the members of the faculty instead of the first words of the selection. sleep ing Child, and Peace Attend Thee" as expected, came a familiar class song. Hail, Hail. the Gangs All Here" It took the faculty moment to grasp the situation but when the members realized the date, they appreciated the joke as much as the student body. After singing the song through a cou- pie of times, the students changed to that old familiar song that has been the sole property of the Normal for the last five years. When we're up, we're up and when we're down we're down." etc. The students sang with animation such as is seldom witnessed
 at the opening exercises. The young
