Prohibition a Profitable Business

An immense sum of money is need.
ed each year to pay the salaries of
the thousands of men and women en-
gagged in the temperance movement.
From the outside signs of prosperity
OF the officers and leaders and organ
izers" 1t would seem as If prohibition
agitation was a most profitable bust
ness. A number OF broken.down
preachers and reformers go into tenn
perance cause, and In few years
they own property and live on the fat
OF the land, says Midas Criterion.
1t is surprising how many ingen-
ious ways have been found for rails
ing and collecting money for carrying
on the temperance work. In many
cases professional exhorters, who are
most expert at begging, draw large
sums from their sympathetic audi
neces. A shrewd collector may get
as much as twenty-five per cent Of all
the money he can gather, and his
"rake-off'' will perhaps amount to
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. Stand
ard OIL Rockefeller and many wealthy
men and women each give thousands
OF dollars every year, and no ques.
tions asked. They can afford it and
they think that their money must be
doing great deal of good.
But the bulk of the hundreds of thou.
sands of dollars collected each year
comes from people of small means.
who also think they are doing the
right thing, especially when the mon.
ey is supposed to be expended in
bringing about what is called "a
great moral reform"
Some day the people who are sup.
porting the prohibition propaganda
will get wise" to the great harm they
are doing, and to the fact that prohi,
ton does not and will not prohibit,
and then a number of prohibition ora,
tors and organizers will be looking
for new jobs and fresh fields for their
activity. Xxx

TAFT AND ELKINs.

Some OF the papers of the State
seemed to take It to heard very much
when the West virginian the other
day was unwilling to join the sug-
gestion of Senator s. B. Elkins' OF
west virginia, for the Republican
nomination for President That was
not, as we said at the time, because
OF any prejudice against Senator FL
kins. but for the simple reason that
we thought it good business as well
as good politics for the Republicans
to quit causing unrest and disquietude
by advocating @fayorite sons" and
come out squarely for the man who Is
sure to be the Republican nominee.
Now that the question is practically
settled as to the head of the ticket.
we are quite ready to take up the
man for second place and to speak
sincerely we believe Senator Elktns
would make a strong running mate
for Secretary Taft. Senator Elkins
Is well known, is well versed in prob.
lens of government, has been in the
Senate long enough to be able to pre-.
side over that body with dignity and
ability. He would be balance wheel
to the administration machinery
which the business interests of the
country would be pleased with anil
should such thing happen that va
cancy would occur in the Presidency
he would be entirely worthy and capa-
bleso filling the presidential chair.
Hence, IL the movement to boost sena-
tor Elkins of West Virginia for Vice
President gets under way, the West
yirginian wants to be counted in on
It and IT promises to do everything in
its power to land the place for our
senior Senator. In fact taft and FL,
ldns" sounds good to US and we feel
that 1t would be winning combina'
ton. What have the Parkersburg
states Journal and Grafton Republi
can to say on the West virginian'a
position this time?

EVANSVILLE.
EVANSVILLE, Jan. 2

Editor West Virginian:
Please permit me space in your
most valued and wide circulated paper
to come forth to the defense of our
little town. note that some OF our
daily papers have been publishing a
great many things relating to the bad
deeds done and offenses committed
against the peace and have been head
ing the same or laying the crime to
Evansville when as Barnville is as dear
as Fairmont. First l want to call the
attention Of the public to the fact that
there Is not u foreigner or a colored
man or woman lived In Evansville, but
the town is made up of some of the
oldest and most respected citizens
and 1t is only an injustice to our town
to lay all these crimes at our door.
1 will admit we are not all angels.
There is strip Of land lying be-
tween Fairmont and Evansville where
there are a great many bad deeds
done. and the crimes that are com.
mitted in this place are well known
and they are laid to Evansville when
they are city to themselves and
Evansville nor Fairmont either are
to blame for their had deeds.
There have been so many publica-
lions about Evansville that the public
at this time is beginning to think we
are an awful set and it is not only
an injustice to our people who live
here but an injustice to property own
ers to have these mistakes made. Give
US credit when We deserve 1t and
go after US when we deserve it.
Respectfully yours,
T. A. R.

will go toward building a new

Although the play had receiy-

and personal friends of the cast
have showered them with con-

was very appreciatiye and the

In justice to all concerned The
Times-Herald wishes to correct
an error that has gained some
grounds among the voters of this
county to the effect that in order
to be eligible as q candidate for
school superintendent the aspir-
ant must have state papers.
Such is not the case. as the law
provides the qualifications Of
school superintcndents thus:
Must have taught in Oregon at
least nine school months and
must hold a first-grade certificate
or an Oregon state certificate or
diploma.
