Anybody's Race.

Secretary Taft and Mr. Bryan have
been attacking and answering each
other recently on the assumption that
thew would be the leaders of their
respective parties in the campaign OF
1903. A year In advance OF lSaO,
however, Clay was moro confident
in getting the presidency in that
year than either of the present lead
ing aspirants are of carrying off the
prizes in the approaching conven-
tions. But William Henry Harrison
and not Clay was nominated. The
country believed with VanBuren that
he would be the nominee of the
democratic convention in 1910, yet
comparatively obscure man, Polk,
was selected. After his defeat at the
polls by scratch in 1874, Clay be-
lieved he would be given another
chance IN 1913, but the Mexican war
obtruded itself and created a rival
man of destiny, Zachary Taylor, and
Clay was beaten in the convention.
a year before the convention of 1860
Seward and Douglas were singing
out each other for attack as Taft and
Bryan have been recently, and for
the same reason. Each of those two
aspirants of nearly half a century ago
was assailed by the opposite party

bryan is now, uuder the belief that
they would be the persons who would

the race early in 1888 Sherman
thought that the prize was his just,
as Blaine believed at the opening of
the democratic convention in 1896,
that the dominant silver issue would
make him the candidate. yet Harrison
carried off the prize in the conven-

the latter. Stock on the political

PROHIBITION WAVE.

There be question that the prohibition sentiment
regards the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
has made great Roadway within the past few years in the
United States Whether prohibition will prohibit is de-
bateabe point Nodoubt in localities which have been under
the law for many years. large quantities of ntoxicans may
be disposed of in defiance of the law and under the
influence of liquor may be That however, might be
expected. No law has been passed, that and
will be violated So that liquor is made and sold in
localities under the prohibition banner is argu
against the cause than the fact that robbery and other
crimes committed in defiance of legal enactments The
point is do prohibition laws tend to restrict the manufacture
and sale of liquors And few will dispute the proposition
It may be that the vice of indulgence strong
drinks pent up and controlled by the removal of the power
crafty the unnatural appetite will break in another
and perhaps equally injurious direction That aso may
apply with equal force other things. Weare enhu
sast over making men and women live and temperate
lives by removing temptations out of the way We know the
rule cannot be universally applied We transfer the
world that every human being will be
placed beyond the possibility of doing wrong.
In the southern states where the prohibition movement
has gained ground wonderfully may be accounted for
other than strictly temperance grounds The heavy negro
population is largely the of it. 1t is hoped that by
removing the liquor beyond the reach of the coored
will have tendency reduce the outrage prevalent there
And accomplish this the whites satisfied forego the
ready to ardent spirits 1t would be unconstitutional
any distinction between citizens; prohibit the sale
the negros and permit the whites So the remedy had
be made applicable to all. Why liquor should be more
dangerous from criminal stand point the colored
than it the whites, is physiological problem, but that
is really fact 1t is conceded to have powerful
tendencyo violence the Indians and hence the sale of
intoxcants them is wisely prohibited But they
citizens the legal question does arise in this
But making due allowance in these respects it is evident
from what being done in state and the drift in
own locality that the curb the saloon system
taking irmer hold of the people generally.
