WORD FROM HOME
POWER ON CONGRESS
Temperance Legislation Is
One of Things Demanded
Of Legislative Body.
QUESTION is FAR REACHING
1T MAY BE MADE A NATIONAL
ONE AND PRACTICALLY ALL DE-
PENDS ON THE ACTION OF CON-
CRESS THIS SESSION.

Washington, April S.-The temper
ance question will not down in con
gress. A week ago the liquor interests
we're confident they had won their
fight TO prevent legislation OF any
sort at this session inimical to their
business. Today they see indications
which lead them to fear the temper
auce forces will get about all they ask
for before the session ends. It is the
word from home" that is bringing
about the change. Both senators and
representatives are receiving letters
from constituents saving that unless
they take their stand with the tenn
perance forces they will be punished
in the coming campaign.
Members of the house of represent
tatives who are candidates for re-cleC-
ton are particularly soliCitOus about
the outlook. Without being told by
their constituents they know some
thing Of the temperance wave that Is
sweeping over the country and they
do not want to be caught on the wrong
side. Senators who are up for re-elec-
members of state legislatures are to
be chosen this year with special ref
ercncc to the liquor traffic and that If
they expect reelection they must take
care not to stand with the unpopular
side in this battle.
A National Question.
The indications are that more pub
lie men will go up or down on the tenn
perance question next fall than on any
other one question that will enter into
the campaign. 1t will not be surpris-
ing if the question becomes national
in it's aspect during the coming cam
paign. Whether ii shall pass from a
state to national issue depends on
the action of congress at this session.
The temperance forces, led by the anti
saloon league, are ready to make it a
national issue if that shall become ne
Cessary.
The situation is this: The move
ment for stricter temperance laws is
making Roadway everywhere. In
some states it is taking the form Of
prohibition: in others it is for local
option, high license or eliminating by
remonstrance. The dry" territory is
being Widened in scope month by
month. The larger the dry" area be-
comes the more plainly stands out the
fact that the states can not meet with
q full measure of success SO long as
the federal government nullifieS the
work of the states. Under existing
federal law no state can create absO-
lutely dry territory, because liquor
may be shipped into this territory
from another state with impunty. 1t
is also impossible to make a state or
any part of a state dry" as long as
the federal government will issue a
| permit to person to sell intoXicants
in the territory which local govern
ment says shall be dry"
Different This Year.
So it Is that the temperance forces
are asking that these two conditions
be remedied. They do not expect to
get both evils cured at this session OF
congress. They do insist that leeis
! lation shall be enacted at this session
which will give a state some measure
Of control over interstate shipments
of liquor.

SURFACE BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

Fire which is believed by Super
intendent M. B. Rapp to be Of iucen-
diary origin, totally destroyed the
surface buildings Of the Gold Soyer-
ign mine at Cripple Greek at an
early hour yesterday morning and it
is feared that the tinberings Of the
lower workings will be ienited. The
loss is estimated to be between
$50, 900 and $40 900. No information
as to the amount of insurance could
be secured.
The fire is believed to have origin
ated In the ore house, although Sup
erintendent Rapp stated that he be
lieved that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The ore house was ~ dry
as tinder. and in few moments the
entire plant was seething mass of
flames. For while 1t was feared
that the Trilby plant property would
also be destroyed. The flames shot
high into the air and the sparks iR-
nited the timbers about the ore
dumps of number of the adjacent
properties. Hoses were played on all
the dry timber in the vicinity and
the encroachments of the flames
we're held back For time it was
feared that nothing could stem the
tide OF the hungry flames, but valient
work on the part of the men fighting
the fire prevented greater damage.

"ouR PRINCIPLES"

As the political situation becomes
more interesting and AZ the election
day draws nearer, we have been asked
several times and by various persons
our views OF the situation. We wish
to say that we have not modified them
In any manner whatsoever. The fol-
lowing views were expressed editorial
ly by this management the first issue
published by us on August l2th last.
At that time and now, we stated our
position as follows:
"As to political affiliations we be-
ljeve that In a large measure news
paper Is q public institution. there
fore should not be bound to any one
political party. Under the present
management this will not be a par.
tisan organ; nevertheless, we expect
at all times to inform ourselves upon
tion that affect the welfare of our
readers and will present our views as
thoroughly and vigorously as we have
the ability so to do; yet, at all times
with moderation and proper consider
alton for different ideas and views
that may be held by others. In the
next few months the people will be
called upon to cast their ballots for
the election Of candidates for public
office. The result Of this election
will settle issues of vital Importance
to all. The fullest discussion of these
matters seems to us to be of great i'm
portanoe and interest, and as the day
