THE ILLINOIS ISSUE

Good for Kansas
The last Thanksgiving Day is not so far in the past
to make ancient history of the proclamation pertain
ing to that occasion by Governor Hoch Of Kansas And
part Of it is worth reprintng here even if it were
ancient history.
Governor Hoch, in his Thanksgiving proclamation
said:
"One-third of counties without prisoners
in their jals paupers in their poorhouses;
half of our counties contributed convicts to
prison population the last year, and one-half OF
prison inmates never lived in Kansas long enough
to get residence here. Our educational institutions
were never so Furnishing Our churches were never
so strong nor the spiritual outlook hopeful
The saloon has been practically banished from
state and it's baneful influence almost entirely elm
lnated.'
What All This Means
Commenting on this paragraph in the proclamation
the Kansas City STAR Of the leading daily papers Of
the west, says editorially:
SEThe prohbitory amendment to the constitution
in Kansas adopted in 1880 and the year follow
ing it enacted into law For twenty-seven years.
therefore, the state has held to the prohibition policy
the best method for the regulation of the liquor
traffic. and that policy that for twenty-seven
years Kansas has placed the traffic in the outlaw
class In that state intoxicating liquor has no legal
standing The who sells it in any form
beverage is lawbreaker subject to imprisonment
1T is argued in behalf of the rum trade that the
open saloon helps business. No one has the emerity
to offer the suggestion that institution it
tributes anything to the moral social political
advantages of community. It's existence is toer-
ated upon a commercial basis 1t adds materially to
the Of the federal state, county and munic
pal governments It is also argued that it stimu-
ates trade and contributes largely to the general
business prosperity of the country.
Worth Thinking About
cit is therefore interesting to note this depart
ure from the ordinary form of Thanksgiving proc
amation by the Governor of Kansas and his
to the people for giving thanks for the existence of
the prohibtory law is entirely worthy of careful
consideration.
''Kansas is the only state that can be said to have
given prohibition a fair and thorough test. The law
has NOT always been roidlv enforced in that state

When the last brewery is being torn down, being
turned into breakfast food factory says exchange,
shall hear the deposed brewer vocerating that pro-
hibition does not prohibit.
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1909-01-01

'sPolicemen and jails absorb taxes than most
other causes; these figures have some bearing the
saloon argument that prohibition higher
taxes. We should like to hear of community
where the saloon licenses even at 81 900 each pay
for that portion Of the police the jas courts aims
houses and insane asylums which is devoted to the
drunkards whom saloons produce. All figures well
comed''
That is fair request. If you have the figures, bring
them on.

Wild DASH
Of A SEATTLE
Street CAR
tBy Associated Press,

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-Of the so
passengers on a Wallingford avenue
car which was wrecked at curve
near the main gate of the worlds
fair today, not one escaped without
being more or less injured, but to-
night it is believed thath none are
fatally hurt. The only one fatally
injured was Frank Hull of Tacoma,
who died an hour after being taken
from the wreck. Many of the pas
sengers made no report of their in
juries, and others went to their
homes after their wounds were at
tended to. Tonight there are 81
patients from the wreck in the four
Seattle hospitals Mrs. Charles
Hornaby of Los Angeles, who was
thought to be fatally injured, will
recover. Edward Winslow, propri-
etor of the St. Louis cafe into which
the runaway car plunged, was badly
bruised but is in no danger.

ment it would appear that no such
celebration will be held
1t is believed, however, that there
will be a big, or. in fact, several
big celebrations to mark the open
ing of the road, even though there
is no driving of the golden spike"
It is understood that quiet move
ment is now on foot by members of
the Commercial club of Salt Lake
City and the Commercial club of
San Francisco by which the two
clubs will join and ask the coop
Grafton of the various commercial
bodies and business men at each
city through which the road passes
for grand celebration to mark the
opening of the road. Just what
form this. celebration will take is
not known, but it would probably
consist of a special train from one
or the other cities, or special train
from each city, which would meet
at some point along the road where
the representative business men of
the city of the saints and the city
at the Golden Gate might meet and
congratulate each other on the com
pletion of a road which will mean
so much to each city and to the
country intervening.
General Traffic Manager S. "
Derrah has announced that the new
road will be open from Salt Lake
City to Winnemucca by September

MYLES-MYERS
LEASE PREP airing
A SHIPMENT
GEORGES CANYON PROPERTY
WILL SHIP WITHIN THE
NEXT TEN DAYS

Georges Canyon is fast forging
to the 'front.'" said T. Tobish, who
came in from that section yester-
day. The entire district is a reg
ular prospector's paradise and offers
great inducements.
"A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the strike recently
made by Jack Longstreet, who is
taking out some picture rock. Har-
ry Stimler's property is also at
tracing a good deal of attention.
On the Myles and Myers lease they
are preparing to make their first
shipment, which should be on the
way to the mill within the next ten
days. The shipment will contain
between six and seven tons of high
grade rock. They are drifting at
a depth of so feet and the entire
face of the drift is practically in ore.
The rock they will ship is taken
from a streak eight inches wide in
the ledge. Two shifts are working
and the vein is being opened up as
fast as possible"
Mr.. Tobish spent the last two
weeks in the district engaged in
surveying work, and during his stay
there had an opportunity of visit
ing nearly every working. Part of
his time was also spent at the Hunt
ranch, where a number of men are
prospecting.

Continued from Page L.

and placed in full charge of his
speciality
But impressive as the naval par
AIDES will be, and colorful as will be
the pageants, there is no question
but that the greatest popular inter
est attaches to the airship flights
that will be made from Governors
Island some time during the first
week of the celebration. Just what
the performance will be must de-
pend on the conditions of the at
mosphere and the willingness of the
aviators, but the program calls for
a flight from Governors Island up
the North river, across Manhattan
Island in the neighborhood of Spuy-
ten Duyvil and down the East river,
under or over the four great steel
bridges that now span it, back to
the starting point. Nothing so dar-
ing has ever before been contem-
plated, but both Wilbur Wright and
Glenn H. Curtiss, his most formid-
able American competitor, have
signed contracts to attempt as least
as much of it as their Judgment
will warrant
And on the closing night of the
celebration, beacon fires will flame
from every headland all the length
of the path that Henry Hudson
travelled from Manhattan Island to
Albany 800 years ago.
