THE GRAND STRATEGY

One of the most important duties upon
all of us is to guard against the possibility
which, viewed from some standpoints,
mounts almost to the prominence of prob
ability, that the grand strategy of the Pro-
hlbltlon movement be forgotten and neg
lected in the carrying out of brilliant minor
tactics and the performance of spectacular
maneuvers.
What we mean is just this
There is just one thing that needs to be
done regarding the liquor traffic. 1t needs
to be prohibited by law and annihilated by
the enforcement of that law throughout the
dominion of the American people, When
that is done the drink evil is settled, and it
is not settled until that is done Recently,
and in past somewhat remote, numerous
states have been carried for Prohibition I'M
der state law, and there has been tendency
of long-standing and constant growth, to
vote townships and counties and other sub
divisions of states, "no-license," under local
option privileges granted by the laws of the
state. That certain local advantages accrue
from this policy no one doubts; that, upon
the other hand, they have segregating and
vitiating influence upon temperance senti-
ment as whole, is as little to be doubted;
while as it stands clearly written in the
statistics of the United States government
that all the growth of no-icense by town.
ship, county and state, that has taken place
up to the latest returns available, has not
checked in the slightest the constant appall-
ing growth of the drink traffic.
The local Prohibition sentiment-the SEN
timent that carries counties no-license and
enacts Prohibition statutes in states, is feared
by the drink traffic, principally because of
the possibility that, at almost any moment, it
may grow to proportions that will over-leap
local bounds and make for national Prohi-

THE DOWNFALL OF THE REPUBLIC

On other pages of this paper there will be
found an article by the Hon. DAN R. SHEEN,
who formerly represented a Peoria district
In the legislature of Illinois, elected upon
the Prohibition ticket In that article Mr..
SHEEN makes some exceedingly startling
revelations and exceedingly valuable COM
ments upon what he calls "The Decay of the
Republic" He might with equal propriety
have called it, as we call it, "The Overthrow
of the Republic"
The sorriest fact Of the case is that, what
Mr. SHEEN shows to be true in the legisla-
ture of the great state of Illinois, is also
true in the legislatures of almost all the other
states, and perhaps we need not guard the
assertion even as carefully as that. At the
same time it is true to the knowledge of all
men that from the national Congress gov
eminent by the people vanished long ago.
What the people will what the sovereign
people of any state or nation believe to be
the right policy in government, is the last
concern of our lawmakers or of our high
executives who stand in close touch with the
lawmakers. They will do what they please
actuated by motives that may be as corrupt
as corruption, and they will force it down
the peoples Threats by such measures as they
are obliged to use.
1t is not pessimism but the sober state
ment of fact, to say that neither in Spring
field, nor in Indianapolis, nor in Columbus,
nor in Harrisburg, nor in Albany, nor in
Washington, has the voice of the people been
really heard and obeyed half-dozen times in
the last twenty years.
Gangs of corrupt ringsters run our state
and national governments, largely for per-
sonal ends, grow rich and enrich their cor
rupt heelers from the money which they

ment today is to keep the forces headed
straight toward the liquor trafic's chief ter
ror, national Prohibition; to fight no fight
without that end in view; to go upon no cam
paign without a clear announcement of that
purpose; to keep that thought perpetually
uppermost in the minds of the intelligent
citizens of the United States. To carry some
counties or, cities no-license is we'll; to sweep
one, two or five more states into the Prohi-
bition column is splendid. But all this is
minor tactics. The grand strategy of the
war is national Prohibition. Every general
orders must make that clear, and the head
quarters band must play con to Washington"
at every evening parade and every morning
guard mount.
Of course, it goes without saying that, just
as in the past, we could make "friends'
faster by drifting with the moments trend
of things and stunning the latest popular
air; we didn't learn the ways Of veterans for
that
Ten years from now, history will write,
either that the Prohibition movement culmi-
mated in 1908 in intense enthusiasm against
the liquor traffic that frittered itself away in
excitement over local victories, while the
liquor traffic held the citadel of power, or it
will write that the leaders of the movement
in 1908 were far-sighted enough to marshal
every effort upon the center of the field and
so won-NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

license sentiment is only normal" the traf-
fc is placid
The drink business can stand the loss of
a hundred more counties next year. It will
continue to flourish if two, three or five
more states go "dry" These calamities it
has discounted in advance
For, what is the process? Left in possess
sion of its great centers of financial power,
with its corrupt and corrupting millions that
are centered in New York and Chicago and
Peoria and Milwaukee and st. Louis and
Louisville, untouched with it's ability to bride
the daily papers to lie in its behalf, to send
mendacious emissaries up and down the coun-
try; with the necessary control Of both OF the
old political organizations with all this, the
liquor traffic knows that, so long as the senti-
ment remains local, it can hold it long in
check; it knows that by the local or state
process three-q quarters of the states of the
Union are perfectly safely placed in the
liquor column for generation yet, while by
fraud, misrepresentation, intimidation, po-
litical corruption and the other agencies of
action which are open to it, it will more
or less discredit the prohibitory laws of
counties and states, until, what it did in Yer
mont and New Hampshire, but little time
ago, what it did in Iowa few years further
back, and what it did years ago in Connect
cut and Massachusetts and Rhode Island and
Michigan, it will do in Georgia and Alabama
or Mississippi or Oklahoma.
These states, to employ the figure of arms
again, are outposts, poorly fortified, lily pro-
visioned, scantily defended, which the tenn
perance sentiment has pushed forward under
the fire of the whole drink line. The drink
powers are able to concentrate upon them
almost overwhelming force. Ten million
dollars per year, for three years or five years,
to discredit and repeal Prohibition in
Georgia-what would that be to the liquor
interests and where would the temperance
forces find a single million with which to
meet it? And we're it possible to repeal Pro
hibition in Georgia within five years, what
would the carrying of 200 counties or even
of state or two elsewhere amount to as an
offset?
Local Prohibition is thorn in the side
of the liquor traffic, undoubtedly; it requires
the expenditure of money and the bestowal
of constant attention; but the thing that ter
rifles the liuuor interests is the idea of ma

|Baraga County,
| School Elections.
Considerable Interest Manifested 4
L'Anse Township. Oppo-
sition In Others.

Monday afternoon L'Anse Town Hal
was the scene of one of the liveliest
school elections which has been held
within the district in many years.
At the annual meeting there was to
be elected two trustees for full term and
from all appearances there seemed to
be deviation from the old time custom
of the "office seeking the man." A
ticket had been prepared upon which
appeared the names Of Fred w. Heb
ard, of Pequaming, and w. L. Mason,
of L'Anse, which up to the morning of
the election had been considered the on
ly candidates in the field.
With an object of securing some spec
ial support in the athletic line, num-
Der of the High School students pro-
posed having candidates which would,
in their minds, be of such benefit and
with the aid of a few other persons,
framed up an opposition ticket upon
which appeared the names of Oscar
Sanregret and George Truieau.
When such was completed and at the
hour of the opening of the polls car
ry-all, operating under the management
of the boys, arrived loaded with moth
ers and taxpaying women Of the dis
trict, each carefully instructed for the
Athletic Ticket"
Upon their arrival at the polls the
taxpaying passengers voted but it was
found that they were the only entitled
ones.
The appearance of the women at the
polls kindled the spirit of the men and
there was general swarm from then
on.
Numerous warm arguments over the
right meaning of the law governing vot-
ing at school elections were had and on
the whole created considerable excite
ment.
When the votes were counted it was
found that SO votes had been cast, out
of which Fred w. Hebard had n; w.
L. Mason, "a; Oscar Sanregret, %;
George Trudeau, 21 and scattering
vote of 2.
During the annual meeting a report
of the Secretary was read and posted,
and upon motion the sum of So, 500 was
voted as the amount to be raised by tax
during the next year.
