The worst abuses of the liquor traf- fife will flourish as never before. There will be an unlicensed and unregulated traffic Millions of revenue the state and municipalities need will be lost. Thousands will be educated in evasion and contempt of law. It is the belief that these will be some of the assured results of prohibition that don't pro- hibit. that arrays against it earnest friends of temperance reform and ad- vocates of high license and stringent regulation"
 Indianapolis News Qndependent.)
 From Maine. where it has existed for a generation. to Rhode Island. which has tried it for a year( prohibi- ton has been a costly failure. It is as easy to get drink in Maine as 1t is in Indiana"
 The Philadelphia North American.
 "A careful discussion on this subject (prohibition) has revealed the dangers involved in replacing an active and vigilant legal provision to control the liquor business by a provision which would make the contest one against a contraband traffic pandering in con cealment to the worst excesses of vice"
 Springfield. Mass, Republican Ond.)
 "If prohibition could only abolish in- temperance. it would be summary way of doing it. and save much pa tience, time and trouble. But the truth is. that patience. time and trouble are necessary factors in the everlasting fight of faith with powerful human passions. like the appetite for drink. When We come to the bottom of the matter, the fundamental remedy for intemperance is not in statutory pro- hibition. but in that moral restraint which makes every man a law unto himself when he has been educated. not by the standard of an enforced abstinence. but by the loftier one Of voluntary and reasonable self-control and q benevolent regard for the wei fare of others as influenced by his character and example"
 Attleboro. Mass, Sun.
 Liquor legislation never made temperance gain. Education and pub lie sentiment are the only things that can advance the cause When the right plane for both of these is reach ed. there will be no need of a pro- hibitory law"
 Providence Telegram (Den.)
 The prohibitionists are honest in their way. but they have tried to ac- complish an impossibile feat They are trying to bring about virtue by resolv- ing that vice Is wrong.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that it is pity there is so much needless suffering from back ache headache. dizziness. ,languor and other common aches and fills of kidney compaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trouble They have so much indoor work to d.. so much lifting. bending and stooping; they are bound by custom 10 tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little cold may bring on a kidney weakness
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache anl bearing-down pain. headache. dizzy spells. faintness and lack ambi- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: Are my kidneys wcil?" The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment, or stringy settling in the urine; if passages are too frequent and copious. or scanty and painful. 1t is

NEAR BEER PLACES
 ARE NOT SALOONS

Atlanta, December 2-(Special.) )-The petition heretofore filed by H. Y. Mo Cord and others against Ben Rosenthal, seeking to declare the near-beer places of the defendant nuisances on the ground that they were blind tigers in disguise, at which beer was sold in violation of the state prohibition law and seeking to en- join the defendant from operating the places. was denied by Judge J. T. Pen dleton in the superior court this after noon.
 Judge Pendleton stated in rendering his decision that as some doubt existed at the time when the analysis of the beer was made on which the suit was brought as to the percentage of alcohol that could be legally contained in beer, he would not grant the injunction in this par tieular case. He further stated that any place selling more than 4, per cent beer was legally a nuisance and could be abated under the law. This was the suit in which the famous "near-beer' test was made by personal consumption and expert evidence.
 If the juries won't convict dealers who sell beer with 4 per cent or more of alcohol and the authorities won't act, either, why, will take action myself and see that such dealers are punished, |" said Judge Pendleton.

CRISIS NEAR FOR
 CHARLES p. TAFT

Washington, December 12-(speclal.) )- The senatorial candidacy of Charles P. Taft Is approaching a crisis President elect Taft and Representative Theodore Burton of Cleveland had a long confer ence here today at the end of which Bur ton departed for his home, refusing to make any statement Judge Taft was equally reticent
 It is understood. however that Mr. Burton. who has been mentioned for both secretary of state and the treasury in the new cabinet, informed the President-elect that he must be regarded as an active candidate for the senatorship. Taft argued with him, so 1t Is alleged, and cabinet position. The matter was dis cussed from all standpoints and finally 1t was determined that Mir Burton should go home and consult his friends. A final decision as to his intentions is expected about the middle of next week.
 It is becoming evident to politicians here that Charles P. Taft's candidacy is beginning to embarrass the President elect. The latter has studiously refrained from discussing the Ohio senatorship in any of it's phases. but his friends report that it bothers him. Advices from Ohio are that if a popular vote was had Bur ton would be selected by a heavy ma jority, that there is no demand for Charles P. Taft and that if he is elected it must be through the power of the in- coming administration.

PANAMA WILLSOON
 RECEIVE FLEET

Washington, December 12.-(Special)- The state department prepared this even- ing memoranda of instructions for the lang of the United States sailors of Ad- miral Swnburns fleet on the arrival at Panama. President Obaldia cabled the state department today that ample police force would be present in Panama when the sailors arrive and also informed this government that the slayers of one of the United States marines would be brought to a speedy trial
 The views of the state department as to the necessity for additional precau- tions on the arrival of the sailors will, of course, be transmitted to Admiral Swinburne by Secretary Newberry. MT. Newberry said this afternoon that sailors who are sent ashore on leave are always accompanied by patrol. This procedure took place at every port visited by the Atlantic fleet and the Pacific fleet
 MT. Newberry does not anticipate any friction between the sailors and the townsfolk of Panama. Admiral Swim burne will in his discretion designate the number of sailors who will go ashore each day.

PLAN TO CENSURE
 THE PRESIDENT

Washington, December 12.-The Senates probable action in asserting its displeas- ure because of President Roosevelt's mes sage in regard to the secret service has not been outlined definitely. It has been understood that a resolution would be offered by some democratic Senator pro- viding for an investigation by the con- mittee on appropriations of the Presi- dents language. It was argued that as a republican introduced a resolution in the House, the selection of a democrat for the same service in the Senate would give the matter a non-partisan flavor. Con- ference today, however, developed that a number of the leaders believe the action should be taken by a republican Senator and 1t was suggested that Senator Bur rows, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections would be the ploper person. Senator Burrows has not yet consented. It is likely that the reso- lution will be the identical terms of the House resolution, providing for the ap- pointment of a select committee of five t0 consider the whole subject The reso- lLtion if offered, will be submitted to the Senate on Monday.
 It is evident that the House does not intend to take any nasty action in the matter The committee appointed yes- terday, of which MT. Perkins, of New is expected to meet on Monday. The un- derstanding is that no report will be made by the committee until the latter part of the week

PROTECTION FOR
 ALIEN CITIZENS

Washington, December 12-The ques- tion of state rights figures prominently in the debate in the House of Repre- sentatives today on the bill providing for the protection of aliens in the United States in accordance with treaties en- tered into with foreign powers. The bill Is designed to relieve the United States from what was stated upon the floor by MT Sherley, Kentucky, to be the en- harrassng and often humiliating position arising from inability to make good the obligations of treaties for the protection of foreigners in this country"
 The opponents of the measure practical ly were a unit in contending that the laws of the several states were ample to meet the situation whenever it pre- sented itself. These forces were led by Messrs. Henry, Texas; Clayton, Alabama; Hughes, New Jersey, and DeArmond. Missouri.
 In the opinion of MT. Henry 1t was going too far, ito take circuitous route and confer on aliens rights which have not been conferred on them by the consti- tution.'
 The bill was too radical, he said.
 Declaring himself against the multipli- ca tion of federal offenses, MT. Clayton said there was not an alien in the coun- try who had not already a remedy in case he is injured or threatened.
 MT. Sherley said there was no law granting the aliens rights superior to citizens.
 The bill was passed 100 to 99. The vote was so close that the Speaker ordered reoapitulation at the suggestion of MT. Henry. This disclosed that the vote &C., , tually stood 100 to 100. The tie was brok- | ell by the vote of the Speaker in the af- ! flrmative, which again passed the bill. Mr. DeArmond, Missouri, challenged the Speakers vote, on the ground that he had no right to cast 1t after the vote had been closed
 The Speaker held that he had the ab- solute right to vote and he declared that his vote would stand.
 MT. DeArmond appealed from the de- c;sion, but in the meanwhile MT. Jenkins moved to adjourn. On that proposition roll call was forced, resulted ayes 99, nays 50, and the House adjourned.

BONAPARTE WILL
 RETIRE MARCH 4

Baltimore, December 12.-(Special)- That Attorney General Charles A. Bona parte will not be a member of President Tafts cabinet, was the definite state- ment made here today by MT. Bonaparte.
 After March 4 I positively will retire from public life is perhaps the best way to put it." said MT. Bonaparte, this dec- laration, however. being applicable only to his connection with the presidential cabinet.
 ''Is there any prospect of your becom- ing a member of MT. Taft's cabinet?"
 T have not been asked, smiled MT. Bonaparte. And, even if I were, l would not accept the position"
 What is the feeling in the cabinet in regard to the proposal of Congress to rebuke the President?' the reporter asked MT Bonaparte
 The smile which declined to come off broadened deeply as the Attorney Gen. eral replied:
 aThe cabinet is paying no attention to the matter and Is not discussing it seri- ouSly."

WOMAN WRITER
 TALKS TO CASTRO

Paris. December 12-Where others had failed. a woman writer on morn- ing newspaper today succeeded in get ting an amusing interview with Presi- dent Castro, by sending up to him a letter in Spanish asking him to de- liver a lecture on Venezuela before the Latin-American league.
 When the Venezuelan president ap- peared he was muffled up in a thick gray coat and almost smothered In a cloth cap. He was very ungracious at first, but finding that she was not a Spanish woman, but a Parisienne, cheered up. He asked her, with glance at the lowering gray sky out of the window, if it was always cold in Paris.
 The lady pointed out that 1t was winter now and said that if he went to Berlin for an operation he would find 1t much colder there.
 "Operation," exclaimed President Castro, q am no more sick than you are"
 Asked why he did not go to the Riviera, President Castro said ne had tired of It. His interviewer, seeing an opportunity to introduce politics, re- marked: Perhaps you would not be permitted to go there?'
 T do exactly as I wish" said Cas- tro, emphasizing his words with a thump on the table with his fist. lie fenced the other questions with clumsy compliments, concluding by smilingly saying that it was the brightest hour of his stay in Paris. from which city he was departing tomorrow.
