In the columns of the Pennsylvania

less than two pages. the Declaration

tional amendment bill January rs.
1t provides for a special election on
the last Thursday in April, at which
time the people will decide wheth-
er or not the state is to have con.
stitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors for beverage pur-
poses.
The Michigan House of Repre-
sentatives defeated bill providing
for special election on prohib-
ition bill. Presumably. as in Min
nesota, the legislators were afraid
to allow the people to say whether
or not they wanted prohibition.
The bill was defeated by a very
small margin.
Following the organization
formed by the Minneapolis trade
interests, like organizations have
been formed in several sections Of
the country. They are all primari-
ly defensive, altho many of them
plan to carry on an educational"
campaign. One large manufacture
ing firm which sells most of its
product to saloons writes a letter
to leading business men urging i'm
mediate organization. It practical
ly offers to buy the political inf1u-
ence of these men and strongly urges
that each Of them write letters to
his congressman against prohibition
bills now pending in the national
congress.
Let the liquor interests organize
as much as they please; let them
push the fight as hard as they like.
They are only making enemies for
themselves. They are only making
the fire hotter, they are only fore
ing the neutrals to take stand
preparatory to wiping the booze
business off the map. There may
be shrewd strategy in the move,
but it has come too late. Organ
ize, organize, the more the better.
The prohibition party has tried for
nearly forty years to get the traffic
to come out of its den and fight.
We hear many remarks by south
erners to the effect that prohibition
is necessary in the south because of
the criminal inclination of the ne
groes when they are full of benzine.
Well, if one will read the crime
statistics he will arrive at the con-
clusion that prohibition is needed
in the north because Of the criminal
inclinations of the whites when
similarly loaded. Cannon Falls
Beacon.
The saloon is something hard to
down by the taxing process. The
Chicago Journal calls attention to
the fact that the saloons, which
paid into the city treasury of Chi
cago in 1905 So, 792,091 in licenses,
paid in 1906 $8,149,18 In the
meantime, the council, had in re-
Spouse to public sentiment, raised
the license fee from $500 to $1,000.
The belief was that it would drive
many of the outlying saloons, which
were the haunts of thieves and
murderers, out of business. If the
receipts are any criterion, the num-
Der of saloons has increased rather
than diminished. for while the IL
cense was doubled the revenue has
more than doubled, showing more
saloons than before. Not only have
the saloons increased in number but
they have increased in power. The
second motive back of the raising
of the license was to provide more
funds for the police force. But
apparently the increased revenue

PROHIBITION PRESS BULLETIN.
ny John A. Shields, Minneapolis.

Soon after the votes were counted
in 1906 The Minnesota Issue said:
About ninety per cent Of the can
didates for the legislature recon-
mended by the Anti-Saloon League
were elected. 1t seems now that a
majority of both the House and the
Senate will favor County Option. =
Deacon Donham, in ''Donham's
Doings," commenting on the legis-
lature, says editorially: If a ma
jority of the members were elected
with that understanding, then they
should give the people of Minneso-
ia county option regardless of the
walls and groans of those opposed
to it. The Doings is not sympa-
thizer with the county option meas
ure, but it is most emphatically in
favor Of a majority ruling, and a
majority of the voters of Minnesota
must have favored county option
at the last election in order to elect
a majority OF the legislature on that
platform. and we are reliably Yin
formed that not only majority,
but over Is per cent Of the mem
bers were pledged to support county
option. What are they going to
do about it? Are they going to
play traitor to those who elected
them, or are they going to act like
men and fulfill their promises made
to the people when around begging
votes? That's what we want tc
know. The merits and demerits Of
the measure is not the question with
the Doings. It's the fidelity OF
treachery of our lawmakers that
we are interested in. What are
they going to do about it?''

in search Of whales and then he wrote
Il book recounting his experiences
Now he has written letter to an
English newspaper in which he shows
that science, that restless pioneer in so
many strange byWayS of human activ-
ity, has been very busy with the whales
In the old days whaling was a sport
that appealed to men of fine fibre who
would not have taken part in anything
resembling the butchery that some peO-
pie call by that great name. Then the
sea monster was assailed on fairly
equal terms, the harpoon was hurled at
him by hand, the lance by which he
lost his life was wilded in sinewy grace
by 1.-the figure. the boatlcader. and
the issue was doubtful. depending upon
the skill, courage and staying power of
the whaler.

Everything is reduced to a scientific
