MIR. Bugge and Local Option

Representative Bugge is quoted IN
this issue of the Islander as express
ing the opinion that the Anti Saloon
league local option bill will pass.
This opinion was expressed when he
was here last Saturday and be may
have had occasion to modify it since
the vote was taken in the House last
Monday by which the bill. which bad
b cen reported by the committee on
public morals with the recommends
tior that it pass, was referred to the
ioudiciary committee. over the protest
of some of the memb ers Uf that com
mittee and most of the friends of the
measure in the house. Mr.. BuRge
is recorded as having voted with the
"wets' on the question of referring
the bill. as did nearly all of the north
western men. bers. It is hoped by
many of his friends here that his vote
last Monday is not to be regarded
as evidence that he would vote against
the league bill upon motion for its
passage. He is pledged to favor
reasonable" local option measure
and the islander has no doubt that
he will keep his pledge. Before the
election be declined to make writ
ten pledge to the Anti Saloon league
to support the league bill. not know
ing what other measures might be pro-
posed and resentinR the spirit of DO
litical domination displayed by the
league, which endorsed the Demo.
cratic candidate for representative in
this county.
While here last Saturday Mr.. Bug
&c spoke in the highest terms of Rep
resentative McMasters. who has charge
of the league bill in the House.
and of Senator Falconer. it's chief
sponsor in the Senate. and he said
nothing to his most intimate friends
to indicate any intention on his part
to oppose the bill, which, however,
many good temperance people believe
is more radical than 1t is wise to at
tempt to enact. 1t seems to the Is
lander that the only just ground for
criticism of the bill is contained in
the provision that in the event that
county goes "wet" any precinct in
the county may hold separate cleo
tion and 90 "dry," while in the
event that county as whole goes
"dry''no precinct can hold separate
election and go"wet, "if majority of
the people so desire. 1t Is an old
saying pretty generally accepted as
true that 1T is poor rule that won't
work both ways" No legislator can
evade the real question and it is no
time for quibblinR over technicalities
The people of the state are very
much In earnest in the matter and
they demand the enactment of local
option law that will place the reRula-
ton of the liquor traffic where it be-
longs-in the hands of the people
themselves. without excepting any
city. town or hamlet from its provi-
sions.

The Old Age Pension Act is now
In operation In England and the first
payment to successful applicants is
being made this month. There are
so many conditions attached that by
no means everyone who reaches the
age limit and applies for q pension
is successful. Necessary as these con-
ditions may be, they nevertheless
cause considerable disappointment
and some dissatisfaction. but on the
whole the measure is popular and it
will doubtless brighten the lot OF
many an old person who otherwise
would continue in poverty. The
working of the act is being watched
by other countries with keen interest,

accident occurred off the dangerous

the Nantucket Shoals. right in the
path of nearly all the great Atlantic
liners that ply between New York and
all parts of the world. The Republic
went to the bottom in some thirty

The choosing of capital for a ma
tion of is rare occurrence but when
the step becomes necessary it is "
no means easy and generally causes
friction. This country wrestled with
the question for quite time and
nearly half century ago Canada had
the same experience. The common
wealth of Australia has just settled
upon its capital after good deal of
heart burning. and in so doing has
followed the American precedent of
selecting tract of land which shall
bear the same relation to the other
states of the commonwealth as the
District of Columbia does to the var
ious states of the Union 1t is said
that in every particular the tract
chosen is admirably adapted for its
purpose. Now the Australians are un
certain what name to give it.

oAn Is MAKING GooD.
Motor Service % HerIngtOn Is Doing
Better.

Af.er seven months Of experiment.
ing with a motor car service between
salina and Harrington, the Rock Is
land announces now that It is a sue
cess. For the past two weeks the
car has been giving excellent SER
vice, making regular trips and arriv-
ing on schedule time. 3f
The Rock Island first tried the mo-
tor service last fall. It worked fair
ly well until cold weather came on
and then the engine failed to work
properly. For days and days the
company tried to make 1t run, but
the trips were few and far between.
It could not be depended upon.
During the latter part Of the win
ter and all Of this spring, the com
pany doubled back with the regular
passenger train. sI.is service was
very satisfactory to the public. but
the company. claimed that it cost too
much money to run tn passenger
train four times a day over such a
short distance, although no money
was lost on the proposition. 1t has
been giving no trouble now for two
weeks, is never behind time and is
generally ahead Of time. The time
between Harrington and Salina is two
hourse, but the car has been making
it in 10 minutes less 1t looks as
though the car was satisfactory and
as long as it keeps up its good work
1t will be kept in use.
