Knocking" Vice to Market
Virtue
(By A. H. Sawyer.)

Have you learned to ride BIZ
cycle? If you have, you know
that your greatest difficulty was
to keep from being ditched or
from running into every obstacle
within sight. If there was a
stone in sight, you were bound
to hit it, although there was
oceans of room on either side for
you to pass by. Why did you
hit that stone? Because you
were afraid of it. Your fear of
it hypnotized you into running
into it. That stone was "on
your mind," and then. of course,
it was no time before your body
was on that stone. So the trick
you had to learn was to keep
your mind off that stone. You
found that the easiest way to do
this was not to look at the stone,
but to look in the direction you
should go. 1t was probably some
time before you could keep your
mind on the way you should go
while looking elsewhere.
So it is in riding the wheel of
moral progress. We must not
be afraid of the vices in our
way. We must not have them
on our mind" if we don't want
to ditch our body into them.
That vice may not hypnotic us
into running into it, we must
keep our mind on virtue-on the
way we should go. And so it is
in teaching others to ride-in
helping them to be better. We
must dwell upon the good that is
in them. We must play upon
their virtues, not upon their
vices. We must encourage them
to do right, not brighten from
doing wrong. We should pic
ture the good results of their
virtues, not the evil consequences
of their vices. In short, we
should draw their minds off the
stones which lie beside their
life's way and on to the goal
they should attain.
|, therefore, hold that this en-
tire local option movement, en-
gineered by men with vice 'on
their mind" by directing the at
tention of Walla Walla to her
weakness, will help to ditch her
into the very hole she should
avoid. You local optionists can
not market virtue by knock
ing" vice. Try it and the devil,
your competitor, will get the
trade, as evidenced by the fact
that as the saloons are being
knocked" out, the per capita
consumption of liquor increases.
Note. I am all but a total alb
stainer and have no interest in
the question of local option other
than that of the citizen with the
welfare Of the community at
heart. | have never received a
cent for anything | have written
on the subject and am now even
paying for this space out of my
own pocket. Walla Walla Bull

for the state as it is working for
the cities.
1t is reported that the Repub-
lican members of the next Gen
eral Assembly of Virginia will
vote with the Prohibition Demo-
cratic legislators in the fight to
pass a state wide prohibition
submission bill.
William O. Cocks, who repre-
sents the First New York dis
trict in Congress, predicts that
ex-President Roosevelt will be
nominated and elected governor
of New York next year,
Fred M. Alger, eldest son of
the late Gen. Russell A. Alger,
United States senator and secre-
tary of war, is mentioned as a
candidate for the nomination of
lieutenant governor of Michigan
on the Republican ticket.
Friends of Mayor Mcclellan of
New York are said to be con-
Quoting a campaign in the belief
that next year the mayor may
be a candidate for governor. 1t
is believed that State Chairman
Corners will lend his support to
the movement.
Robert L. Mccormick, Repub-
lican national committeeman for
Washington, has announced his
candidacy for United States SEN
ator to succeed Senator Piles.
Mr.. Mccormick is the possessor
of a large fortune made in the
timber business of the North
west.
Butler Ames, the Massachu-
sets congressman who has an
nounced himself as a candidate
for the United States senate to
succeed Senator Lodge, is a West
Point graduate, an officer of the
Spanish-American war and also
a graduate mechanical and cleo
trical engineer.
There has long been a habit of
nick-naming men in public life.
The latest additions to the list
are Collector Loeb and Henry
w. Taft. The former is known
in New York City circles as His
Honor the Barber" and the lat
ter is known among lawyers as
'The Earl of Pawucket."
In the senatorial election in
North Dakota next year there
will be two places to be filled,
Senator McCumber's term expir.
ing and the Johnson vacancy to
be filled by election. The state
law makes no provision
for a popular vote to fill a va
cancy, but it is considered likely
the secretary of state will re-
quire candidates to specify
they are candidates for
the long or the short term.

REFORM MAYOR MAY MAYOR It
FROM BEHIND PRISON BARS

SALEM, Mass, Dec. 27.-Shak-
ing the dry bones of Massachu-
sets famous witch city," as
they have not been shaken since
this old town was the first Ameri-
can seaport, Arthur Howard, six
weeks a voter, who came here IA
months ago without a dollar"
has just been elected mayor after
the most spectacular campaign in
the history of the Bay state. AS
he is under two indictments for
libel, it is not impossible that the
most of his term of office may be
passed in cell.
When Howard arrived here IA
months ago he came to start a
paper. Failing to purchase the Ca
zefte, an old paper, he started a
new fsheet-the Dispatch. For the
first few weeks of his existence
the Dispatch barely circulated and
the editor nearly starved. Then
HOWARD discovered graft in the
city affairs. He attacked 1t bit
terly, and within 10 days his cir
culation grew and he went hungry
no more. Two libel suits, one in
stituted by an alderman and the
other by the editor of a rival pa
per, were instituted.
Howard was arrested and twice
sent to jail. He issued his paper
from his cell. Last October the
brother Of another alderman How
ard had assailed, attacked and
beat the editor on the street. But
even that would not stop him,
and his candidacy for mayor was
with the result that he
has just simply been elected overl
four other aspirants by a vote
which topped the poll.
