PROHIBITION LOST
AT This SESSION
House District Committee
Not Favorable to the
Movement.

That the Woodworking temperance
agitators, who have been beseeching
Congress to pass law prohibiting 1h
sale Of liquor in the District of Column
oiar are doomed to disappointment be
came definitely known yesterday. De-
Spite the great pressure which mas been
brought 10 bear on various members
Of the House District Committee, there
- IS Httlesor no chance of "a prOhlbitory
measure being reported TO the House.
1t is safe to say that d majority of
the committee members are opposed
10 prohibition in the District. For OBJ
Nous reasons, some OF the members
are especially anxious 10 avoid going
on record as opposed TO prohibition,
despite the fact that they are known
10 be advocates of a continuation Of the
present saloon system in the District.
The prohibition movement is spread
ang in such remarkable manner
Through many of the States that many
congressman are wondering where the
lightning will strike next. and when IL
strikes IA their districts they do not
want a tell-tale vote standing out IN
The open 10 attract the bolt For this
reason, it is probable that liquor Iegis-
laloh viii be permitted to slumber un-
disturbed without fear OF being awaIz-
ened at Ills session.
There also il a feeling among the
members OF the House District Com
mittee, according to a statement made
yesterday by one OF its members. that
there has beeen a remarkable lack Of
support Of the prohibition movement on
the part of the really prominent citi-
zens OF Washington.
mus Tar. the temperance mCvemen.
has been represented solely by men and
women and organizations interested in
Inc cause OF temperance from the stand
point OF ldealists This opinion has
frequently been expressed by members
Of the committee. and in support of
lhelr argument they point out that they
have yet 10 hear a protest against the
sale Of liquor in the District by promi-
Hent business man, on the ground that
the city would be benefited CONNER
cially or otherwise by prohiDitory laws.
Next Wednesday, the committee will
Eive another hearing. al which those
opposed to prohibition will be heard

ing made arrangements to be represent
ed 1t is expected that this will be he
last public hearing ut this session.

a subcommittee at the meeting of the

in view of the Importance Of the sliL-
jet il was decided that the fun COM
mittee should take it up
The Anti Saloon League is net anxious
to have healing on the bill. The rcI.-
resentativcs Of this organization feel
that the subject has beer. sufficiently
threshed out before the House District
Committee and elsewhere. Neverthe-
less, If q hearing is 70 be had, they will
be present TO explain the features Of
the bill and viii urge a favorable re
port upon it,
The Anti-SalOon League Is not in IA
vor Of the movement for outright pro-
hibition in the District Il takes the
position, that while prohibition is de-
sirable. it is not practicable TO get leg
islation TO that end just now, and that
the thing to do is 10 make start with
stricter excise laws, and then to let
local option follow.
A. e Shoemaker. of the Anti-SalOOn
League, who saw some Of the members
of the Senate District Committee Fri
day, and who was prominent in prep
aration of the bill under consideration,
is a believer in the plan of working up
gradually to prohibition through local
option.

cording to the poll books 1161 of
them voted at the election No
vember 3, 1908, which shows
that 90, or per cent staid at

state is usually taken as an index
to party strength For this Of
fee the Republicans cast 61O,
the Democrats 442, Socialists 80,
and the Prohibitionists 21 votes.
This gives the Republicans a
plurality of 168, or a majority
over all of lis. No votes were
cast for the Independent party
candidate. Twenty-four voters
failed to express any choice for
secretary of state, and 80 ballots
were rejected as. defective and

ten children, all of which have
passed away. His grandfather

Mr. Bell was IS years old the
18th of October, and has been in
poor health for a long time.
Blindness came upon him gradu-
ally after his wife's death July 3,
1905. This was a sore affiiction
and he was long time being
reconciled to his fate
Mr.. Bell was an assidious
reader and careful and consid-
crate observer of public affairs.
He was the author of many
kind deeds, and a life long mem
ber of the Presbyterian church,
being at one time a member OF
the Session in the La Fayette,
Indiana church and the Abba,

ices. The remains were inferred

and died November 9th, aged II
weeks and three days. He'was
a patient little sufferer all his
days and at last fell sweetly
asleep. and though he sleeps he
will awaken again. We shall
sleep but not forever; there will
be a glorious dawn A little
bud of promise has been trans
planted to bloom forever in the
garden of our God. The funeral
was largely attended at the Ban
ner M. e. church November 7th.
Rev. q. S. Brown preached the
funeral sermon taken from David
on the death of his child. I
can not bring him back again; I
will go to him, but he will not re-
turn to me-" While viewing the
remains beam of sunshine fell
on the sleeping forehead, as a
ray of promise from the blessed
Savior. Those bereaved have
