ingly for the right without refer
ence to public sentiment.
The distinction between the two
organizations is very obvious. The
Prohibition party is to the Anti
Saloon League, theoretically, what
the Democratic party or the Repub-
lican party is to the League. A
man may be republican and an
Anti-Saloon Lacquer so long as he
votes for such Republican candi-
dates as are acceptable to the
League; he may, more consistently,
be Prohibitionist and an Anti-Sa-
loon Lacquer, because the Prohibi-
ton party dominates only men who
are acceptable to the League.
The League refuses to quarrel
with it's natural friends Nor is
the prohibition party fighting the
League. Rather, the Prohibition
party is the only true-blue, reli-
able, consistent, persistent and
faithful friend and supporter of the
League. Other parties may oppose
the Leagues entrance into politics;
other parties may have to be
whipped and frightened and wire
pulled into line, but the Prohibi-
ton party, never! The Prohibition
party invites the cooperation of
the League in gaining it's desired
end and aim; it is the only political
party in the state which has done
or will do this. The Prohibition
lists will assist the League workers
in every possible way in their CO.
operation with their party to secure
the nomination and election of can
didates opposed to the saloon, which
is courtesy extended by no other
political organization in the state.
The Prohibition party will not op-
pose the League when it seeks to
secure the nomination of satisfacto-
ny men in its primaries, which is
true of no other political party in
the state.
The only friction that can posi-
bly, arise between the League and
the party is when the League seeks
to interfere with the party in the
performance Of it's legitimate func-
tions as political party. This it
sometimes does by opposing the
Prohibition party's making nominal
tions, and by urging Prohibition
lists to desert and others to refrain
from supporting a satisfactory Pro-
hibition nominee and to support the
nominee of some other party en-
dorsedly the League.
Twenty nine Prohibitionists have
filed for legislative nominations up
to this time. As many more will
doubtless file before the time limit
has expired. The Minnesota Pro-
hibitionists will make a winning
hight IN a number of districts this
year.

date for president, will speak in

prosecuting wine room keepers dur

upon Mayor Haines and requested
that he, as mayor Of the city, assist
in the enforcement Of the law
against winerooms, the Brewers

ment bureau having been on pro-
longed vacation beginning with the
day it was organized. The mayor
and his chief of police with one
accord began to make excuses.
"You can't keep women out of sa-
looms. - "You are proceeding
along the wrong lines" 'The
mayor hasn't the power. ''The
police department is busy trying
to get line on the house-break-

let the whole matter rest for a

committee, remarked: "We are

we are going to clean these wine

SOapberry Tree.

The soapberry tree, Saplndus margi-

ly. cultivated In Algeria for its berries,
which are rich In saponln, and are sent
to Germany for use in the manufacture
Of soap, says the Scientific American.
Similar qualities are possessed by the
Florida soap tree, Sapindus manaten-
sis utllis, commonly known as the Chi
ma soap tree, from the fact that 1t was
originally introduced from China. T..
Mouline, Of Jacksonville, Fla, has re-
Gently been engaged In promoting the
cultivation OF this tree In the southern
states by free distribution Of seeds.
The tree grows to height of forty
or fifty feet and begins to bear fruit In
the sixth year. The berries are about
the size of cherries and consist of a
hard, yellow-brown wax-like shell, in
closing a large black seed. The shell Is
rich in saponin, and II bits of 1t are
agltated In water a lather will at once
begin to form. BY grinding the shells
a brownish soap powder Is obtained
which possess valuable cleansing prop

mulberry tree have been used In the
manufacture of beads; they also yield
a flne oil useful In soap manufacture,
as well as In other Industries.

DO NOT WANT SAFETY DEVICES.

street-Car Managers Are backward
In Making Use of Them.
In an article entitled "The Needless
Slaughter by Street Cars" in Every
body's, the writer, John 2. Fox, tells
of his discovery of the fender in use in
Liverpool:
81 learned that up to the time Of my
first visit twenty-one persons had ac-
tually been in the way of cars equipped
with this fender and not one Of them
had been killed! Not only had every
man, woman or child been pushed of
the tracks, clear of the wheels, but In
every case this had been done without
anything approaching serious Injury.
From the official records of this fender
one may learn that, within the last
five years, out of 344 persons who have
fallen on the tracks, not one has been
run over and killed.
Full of enthusiasm over this won
derful record Of success, I promptly
sent accounts of this fender back to
Boston and to New York, so that Amer
lean managers might lose no time in
learning of It, smile now as I think
OF my innocent confidence. On return
ing from Europe, I went to the man.
ayers of the Boston Elevated and was
talking with the secretary, when he
called out to General Bancroft, the
president:
"'See here, general, just listen to
what Mr.. Fox says he has found In

"And this was General Bancroft's

A BOY PIONEER.

In 1874, when emigrants from the
Middle States were going to make
homes in Oregon, many young boys
Joined the pioneers and made the hard
journey over the plains and noun
tains One of these lads, Joseph Watt
Of Missouri, is described by the author
Of Mcdonald of Oregon" He was
about IT years Of age, and was en-
ployed to drive cattle. He walked most
of the way to his new home.
81 have borrowed two dollars and a
half, joe to fit you out" his father
had said at parting; and with that the
young man had bought pair Of boots,
and invested the rest In pins and fish
hooks to trade with the Indians. But
new boots He slung them over his
rifle and put on moccasins.
At certain point in the Journey,
away back on Burnt River, the man
for whom Joe was driving said, you
had better leave us and hurry on into
Oregon. Provisions are getting scarce.
We shall need all there is for the chill
dren."
"All right. can take care of my
self" Without morsel Of food Joe
Watt and Elisha Bowman struck out
with. their 'rifies-and Joe's boots.
"If we could only eat the boots !''
sighed Joe. Bare to the knees from
continually cutting Off his trousers to
mend his moccasins, he strobe through
the lacerating sage-brush.
How are you going to get DOWN.
inquired the boatman, when every 9th.
er eager passenger had piled on the
Hudson Bay bateau sent up by DR.
Mclaughlin. Alone on the shore stood
Joe Watt "How are you going to get
DOWN.
II don't know"
Have you any provisions3'
"No, nothing"
Can you sing or tell yarns?"
Eyes, BOTH
''Very we'll; climb on to the bow OF
that boat" So they started.
well, Figurehead, pipe up!" was
the present demand.
With sad and solemn eyes, without g
smile, Joe sang, told stories. Every
body laughed. The weary emigrants
needed entertainment, and Joe was 9
born comedian.
The doctor was building a four-mil
at the falls, and, with some misgivings
Joe was engaged as a carpenter. Al
night he slept In the shavings Tht
first payday he was rich. With twelve
dollars in hand, clothes, soap, Hudson
Bay blankets were his.
Never blankets felt 30 soft. Passins
his hand thoughtfully over the wool
within sound of the potential falls, {
great idea came into the heart of 10
seph Watt: 81 will build woolen-mill
on this Pacific coast" Years later tn,
boy fulfilled this resolve.
