PROHIBITION SENTIMENT.

Beer used to beer Whisky used to be whisky.
Now nobody but the brewer knows what beer IS,
and nobody, not even the distiller, knows what is
served in most of the liquor emporiums for whisky.
These are a couple of reasons for the growth Of the
sentiment against the whole intoxicating liquor
business But they not the sole reasons, al
though in themselves entirely sufficient to Justify
the rapidly spreading anti-saloon movement. An
other potent reason is the disregard for the general
laws which were made govern society. The disle-
gard became so fragrant that special laws applying
only to the liquor business very generally
passed throughout the country. An equal disregard
for this special legislation followed lis enactment
Public sentiment as to closing saloons Sunday
and at night was disregarded. and Interference in
politics. in legislation and in general business ag-
gravated the offense. The whole record of the
loon business-from the adulteration Of the drink
there sold to the total disregard of the demands of
society-has crystallized the popular resentment.
Only a few years ago. with their interests pro
teeted by lobbyists and their fangs deeply struck
into the vital machinery of government, the sa-
loonists insolenty asked the people what they
going to do about it. If public official insisted
on law observance, he was not reelected 1t the
policy of the saloon men to sell drink-lots of it.
1t made no difference about the law. Now, after
the public is awakening, we find barkeepers advo-
eating Sunday closing and here and there saloon
man insisting on law observance This is well. but
it is late They might prolong their existence by
this course, but it is only temporary. By their
greed and disregard for law they have given vital
force to the movement which few years ago
supported only by handful. The anti-saoon
timent has grown into of the wonders of the
age. But it is only getting ready for business in
the west

MATRIMONIAL BARGAINS.

Once in while at public celebrations, some en-
terprising promoter, to attract to his portion of
the entertainment, offers as feature" prize of
some sort to any happy couple who will stand up
before the crowd and go through the legal require
ments of marriage. The prizes are often worth
while. A furniture house may donate house fur
nishings for the home; stores handling wearing
apparel may offer a selection of a certain quantity
of their goods. BY this means much cheap adver-
Using is obtained for the stores; large crowd is
attracted 10 the performance. and matrimonial
bargain is hung up for an easy-going world to grab
No doubt the intentions of all concerned are per-
fectly innocent The promoters may even feel
certain Of benevolence even if personal gain
is the actuating motive for their benevoence. Per-
haps the young people who become the principals in
the marriage may feel justified in accepting the
prizes offered as an inducement Maybe their mar
ried life will approach the ideal, with nought but
love and harmony in their household
But how this business must cheaper the mar
riage VOW How like a mockery is this of the
sanctity of marriage!
There are probably no records of the outcome of
these public marriages. They may average up we'll
God grant that they do But in the ceremony with
prize attachments there must be lacking much of
the solemnity and dignity with which the cere-
mony is invested by the church 1t must tend to
lightness the view with which the sacredness of
The marriage vows are held. The records of the

SHUT HER OFF.

The telegraph service of the newspapers last
week announced that Emma Goldman intends to
make tour of the country and that she is to speak
in Salt Lake. We trust she may be headed off be
fore she gets this far; if not, we trust the woman
may not be permitted to address the citizens of
Zion She has no message save one of hate. Her
voice is raised only against the principles of or
gained government. She appeals only to the Vi
cicus and most debased instincts and incites the
low-browed to outlawry: to killing and destruction
The United States is no place for this woman,
if indeed there is place in all the world for her.
She pretends TO represent the workingmen, and de-
votes her energies to spreading discomfort among
them by vicious misstatements of alleged perse-
cutions. No matter what may be the condition of
the laboring people of other countries. i'll America
they number 10 to / of the total population, and
they not only have voice in the governmental pol
ices of the nation, but they exercise their consti
tutiona rights ana prerogatves. We know that the
perfect ideaism for which free people strive has
not been attained but the nation is young yet and
anarchy is old Adam and Cain. The Goldman
woman represents the brutality of the lowest ee-
ments of humanity not in any effort to elevate, but
to stir to activity hatred which is as unwarranted
as was that which brought about the crucifxon.
The people of the United States do not want
that sort in this land. The laws of the country
have been framed to keep them out. This notorious
woman left this country once, and she should not
have been allowed to reenter it. That she has done
so is cause for criticism of the federal govern
ment'S department of immigration or the laws
which control it. But having landed, no time
should be wasted in bringing the power of the law
down upon her and deporting her to her native
shores. Freedom free people and free govern
ment, can be maintained only BY enforcing decent
respect for the laws which guarantee that free
dom.

livorce courts are sufficient proof of the hghtness
With which the marriage vows held by the pres
mt generation Anything that tends to levity or
that tends to destroy the dignity of matrimony
hould be frowned upon. St Paul says, IN speak
ing of matrimony, This is great sacrament.
For young people to enter into the solemn reia-
ton without thought of its responsibilities Is little
short of criminal To persuade them to become
husband and wife by offer of prizes is debasing. 1t
would be a real relief if the coming summer sea-
son should not be marked by any of these bargain
marriages. They add but little profit to their pro-
moters, and they may be followed by infinite woe
to the principals. Happy marriages may result but
whatever strips from the ceremony the dignity and
solemnity which rightfully attach only tend to
cheaper the relation, make mockery of its sanctiy
and increase the business of the divorce court
Prizes for matrimonial ventures should be discour-
aged.

to the stairway and rushed madly down. One oil

teacher had to fight to maintain his position. but
by word, excited probably. but firm, he commanded
the mob of thirty or forty boys and girls from IL
to IS years old to stop pushing. Then he allowed
them TO pass one at a time, out of the room, down
the stairway and to freedom.
There was no fire drill in that school, but prob
ably disaster as great as that at Collinwood was
averted by the quick thought and rapid action OF
the high school teacher. 1t happened that the
building was so arranged that the first and second
wear pupils were on the first floor, about $40 or
them. and they we're being dismissed at the same
time the mob upstairs was trying to stampede. 1t
is useless to speculate on what might have happened
had those little children and the high school pu-
pills tried to get out of the single entrance on the
ground floor In those days the school doors
opened inward. The awful results of the Collin
wood fire are sufficient evidence of what might have
been.
Public acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude
owing to the heroic pedagogue has never been made,
and it is with a keen appreciation of the efectua
work done on that occasion as we'll the high
position in memory the occupies that we at
this late day submit this apprecative word for

SCHOOL STAMPEDEs.

The terrible disaster at Collinwood, near Cleve-
land o. by which more than 10 school children
lost their lives in burning school building has
aroused deep and widespread interest in the sub
ject of fire drills in public school buildings 1t also
serves to recall an experience of school days some
twenty years ago in which the teacher now Den
yer attorney, played the part of heroism and left
the town year or so afterward with no reward
save the gracious memory in which he is held by
those who have grown up and learned to appre-
ciate the brave spirit of the man.
1t was a cold day. The stoker in the cellar
knew it was cold, and he made every effort to relieve
the cold by keeping up generous fire in the fur
mace. About ten o'clock the high school room be-
came too warm, and the registers were shut off.
Shortly afterward, the temperature moderated
the teacher turned on the register. Immediately
upon opening the hot air shaft there burst into the
room volume of smoke which was startling to
everybody in the room. The floor around the reg
lister at the time burst into flames, and there
was wild stampede for the door
Quickly the teacher closed the register and ran
