Prohibition.

Switzerland has solved more
questions connected with local
government than any other ma
tion in the world. Her states
men have originated the Initia-
tive, the Referendum and he
Recall. In recent years it has
taken charge of banking, insur-
ance, railroads, tobacco, liquor
making and distribution. Switz-
erland is not afraid of being call
ed socialistic. They believe that
in order to- execute a law with
any degree Of success, the vast
majority of the people should
believe in it, and so they have
naturalized the liquor question.
The federal government has the
sole right to, manufacture distill-
ed liquor and to distribute it.
The government may purchase
its own supplies where it likes,
and so, at the outset they licens-
ed seventy distilleries, but they
close 1,2O0, as the land was
honeycombed with them. Many
of these were small cheap affairs,
producing only the vilest decoc-
tions. At the beginning the
price was made low, but the
government gradually raised itin
order to gradually wean the
people from the spirit habit and
encourage the use of wine and
beer. So far as the sale of
spirits is concerned, the move
ment has been distinctly success
full. The establishments that
made bad liquor have been clos
ed. The quality has been inn
proved and the total quantity
has declined by 40 per cent. since

Ship Cattle from Sites.

Saturday morning last $40 head
of fat cattle were driven through
Cottonwood and on to Sites by
Salmon river people to be shipped
to Spokane. The question ar
rises, why were they not shipped
from Cottonwood, it being the
nearest point to Spokane. The
reason is the shippers get cars
at SIS. 90 less on each car, which
makes a big difference where one
has many to ship. But how does
it come that the railroad makes
this difference when the roads to
both towns are owned by the
same company? Why does the
company discriminate against
Cottonwood? We cannot under
stand, but itedoes look as though
Cottonwood was not receiving
fair treatment at the hands of
the company. Two thousand
head of fat ,cattleamore are to be
shipped by the same parties, and
Of course they will again drive
over to, Sites because of the dis
elimination.

ly. The net profits from the
trade are devided among the
cantons in proportion to popula-
tion, with the expressed provi-
sion that one-tenth of if shall be
devoted to combating alcohol
ism. More than ST, 100000 is
distributed annually among the
cantons and it goes to charitable
institutions. For mechanical
and scientific purposes, spirits
are sold at cost. Another single
victory which has been gained is
in hanishing the baneful and in
sidious drink known as .absinthe'
from the Swiss territory. AS
beer and light wines are consid-
cred harmless beverages used in
reason, they are sold in hotels,
restaurants, cafes, and in fact,
are universally used by the
Swiss and since these beverages
are encouraged and givena free
hand, strong drink is constantly
decreasing, while the moral
standard is beitg raised. The
Swiss go to restaurants, cafes and
gardens, more for recreation and
food than they do for spirits,
hence, there is no room there for
the saloon of America and the
public of England, where people
stand before a bar and drink to
excess. 1t is held that if Eng
land and America adopted the
Swiss restaurant, cafe garden
with their good foods, innocent
music and pure beverage, the
drink problem would be simpli-
fed and the@objectionable saloon
would diappear. The principle
of local option is maintained
there by refusing to license the
sale of spirits in certain rural
areas and resident districts in
cities. This absolutely does
away with bootleggers, speak
easies, clubs and walking demi-
joins which in prohibition coun-
tries succeed the saloon proper.
At the recent election in Switzer-
land, the policy was endorsed
after a full and fair trial by an
enormous majority and in only
