State Wide Prohibition.
Editor News

~EUlCOr NEWS
The great burning question
now before the people of Ken
lucky is State Wide Prohibition.
Even the great champion of
organized lawlessness. in his
rabid whisky sheet, the Courier
Journal, admits this much. The
temperance forces are now con-
Quoting a vigorous campaign of
education and agitation, and this
is to be followed up by present
ing to the next Kentucky Legis-
lature giant petition asking for
the submission of a constitution
al amendment to be voted on by
the people of the whole State.
This m en- d me nt will pro-
vide for the prohibition of the
manufacture, sale and transpor-
tation of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes within the
whole State.
Before the temperance people
got their campaign under way
the liquor men had their plans
laid, and in some cases had them
worked out while the temper
ance people were still asleep.
Their plan was to see that such
men were nominated for State
Senators and for Representa-
tives in the Lower House of the
next General Assembly by the
leading political parties, as would
refuse to submit the proposed
prohibition amendment to vote
of the people.
Now the question we voters
who favor State Wide Prohibi-
ton wish answered is this:
Will you, Col. L. T. Neat, and
you, Mr.. w. E. Keen, if elected,
vote in the next Kentucky Leg
islature, to submit this prohibi-
ton amendment to a vote of the
people of the whole State for
their adoption or rejection, when
the question and the petitions
come before that body? Will you
not for the good of suffering HUI
mainly as well as for your own
glory, honor our Legislative and
Senatorial Districts by bein G
such men as Holland describes
in his " Nations Prayer"

u Mad. . Dia.rsre..

A Chinaman of noble birth had been
Invited to dine at Williams home. His
mother was very anxious that the
guest should not be made uncomfort-
able by the little chaps curiosity, so
she took him aside and explained all
about the yellow skin, long braid Of
hair and almond eyes Of the Mongo-
llans and even showed him pictures Of
Chinese. She impressed upon him more
than anything else the fact that the
visitor was his fathers friend and was
TO be treated with respect. Upon the
Celestials arrival William tried hard
not to stare or look too curious and
succeeded in being very quiet for some
time, when, much to the surprise Of
his mother and the amusement Of the
Chinese, he called out, Mamma, II he
wasn't our friend wouldn't he be fun

pivinq FOR Fish.

An Arab pilot on board an English
ship becalmed in the Persian gulf had
been amusing himself in diving for
oysters. After several attempts his
search proved unsuccessful
al win now said he to the officers
OF the vessel he was commissioned to
convoy, "since cannot gather oysters,
dive Tor and catch fish"
All ridlculed the idea. He went down
again, and the officers were astonished
to see him after short time rise to
the surface with a small rockhsh IN
each hand. The Arabs own explana-
ton OF the feat was that as he seated
himself at the bottom the Ash came
around him and nibblcd at his skin.

The New Mexico legislature, or rather the lower house of that body. passed a bul last week for the regula- ton Of the liquor traffic in that ter rltory which has many good features. Tho bin fixes the licenses which shall be paid by all liquor dealers, which arc divided into classes. The licenses re- quired range in price from s1200 per annum in the larger precincts to $500 per annum in the smaller precincts. This license is for the territory alone. We believe that such a law would be desirable in all states where liquor is permitted to be sold at all and we be- lieve that the law should go further and fix the license to be collected by the various cities. This New Mexico license law was passed in lieu of a local option bill which had been pro posed. One thing is certain, if the saloon men expect to continue the sale ol liquor much longer they must sub init to higher license and besides that see to it themselves that the objection able features of the saloon business arc eliminated. such as card playing. the serving of drinks to card games on adjoining premises, pernicting drunkenness or drinking to excess in saloons. If the saloon men do not begin the work of regulation them selves they will not much longer be permitted to continue their business as the anti-saloon sentiment is gain ing every day and can he stopped by nothing short of deceDcy and order in the saloons.

 HERBERT PENNEY.
 In the death Of Herbert Tenney' ashier of Ihc Consolidated Nation a Bank in Tuoaon, Arizona has lost lpe os ita best citizens, man universally aud intensely popular throughout thc territory. Herbert renacy had resided in Tucson for .wenty-fye years. coming there after 1aying completed his education. For searly all that time he has been con lected with enc of the largest bank ng institutions ol the territory, and n this capacity ,ione as much as my other one rrsn for the upbuilding 4 bis home cit. and the territory of arizona. In the entire territory there vas not a man more devoted to the sun-kissed land o5 Arizona, and many times he proved this by his energy in sontending for the rights of Arizona and Arizonans, even against the pol fey of tis own political party. Dur ing the fight against joint statehood He.bert Teuney was chosen as the .5siruap of tba Republican central committee in the territory because of his known patriotism and love Of Arizona. and he Ifet nothing undone which was in his power to defeat .hose who sought to join Arizona with New Mexico as one state
 In Tucson there was no more pop llar citizen than Herbert Penney. Every man. woman and child were friends. and enemies of this good man could not be found there or else where in the territory. He had a large acquaintance throughout the territory and to entertain his friends when they came tc Tucson was one 5f his delights
 The sorrow caused by the death Of Herbert TeuuuE will not be confined 70 Tucson. where lo resided so long, it will be sincere and universal among his acquaintance in all parts of Ari z0ua. He ranked as the very highest eype Of citizenship in the west; was a man Of the highest integrity, and one wlp stcod 6-st in tho social and commercial world os Arizona

The Blsbec Miner in a recent arti- cIo regretted that the bill introduced by President Hunt, of the legislative council providing for statehood league ln the territory, failed of pass age. n the article it was stated by the editor Of the Miner that had there been systematic effort for stak- hood the bill would have been passed during the short session of the sixtieth congress which adjoufned on the 4th oL the present month. It will be re- BHfhBereas that the Bisbec Miner was
 tfsS caly psDer in the territory to abandon all truth in reason during the last campaign and make the bold dee .aration that all that was required to secure the immediate admission of the territory as state was the election .of Ralph Cameron, the Republican can didatc for congress. Now, the Miner adnits that efforts made for statehood
 since the election has been without system and that, too. in the face of tho fact that Delegate-elect Cameron
 has been in Washington continuously
 sine the short session of the sixdeth congress convened. Nothing was said
 about systematic work being needed
 by the Miner when it was making the fool assertion aDog: statehood last
 fall It is up to the people of Ari-
 zona now to say whether the Miner and its political controllers were doal-
 ing in election hot air last fall Jt

Runlors are current to the effect that Lew" Collins, who provided the brains and much of the energy used in the campaign made by the Repub- licans in Arizona last fall has re- ceived for his effort lemon" almost equal in size to Salt River pumpkin. Lew Collins worked with might and main for the election of Ralph Cam eron and he certainly deserves a polit- ical reward equal to that of any other man connected with tho political bun co game played on the people by tho cry of Cameron and statehood" last fall.

sR. TAFTS TASK

 "To President Taft and, his Aa uiuistra6on is it given to permit prosperity; to reesaDIish justice; to aethroac 5rivleg4 to bind up the Nations wo5Ssss. end to restore gov srument by :sv under the Const'tu- ion of the United States"
 Thus seg,I s86 editorial in the World. wbicf s@ys: '1t ig a task for which Elr Taft is fued by trainiug and 'temgeramenL He is 8 lawyer, with the m-uo Of a magistrate, and has been 8 just and upright judge.

They stu need it quite as much as they did chen, and Mir. Taf's most important work is to restore it to them, remem- boring that the best thing any gov ernmeat eaa do Is to mind its own bushes

autoeratic powers and the clanorous demand for new centralizing legisla-, tion. Prosperity has halted and re maiaed halted because the country has lacked this rest and peace and teassuranee' for which Mir. Cleveland pleaded and which Mir. Taft promised in his inaugural address. Individual liberties have been jeopardized be- cause President has seen fit to put himself above the law.
 Nobody knows better than Mr. Taft that while government cannot create prosperity and liberty it can destroy both. Too much government has al- ways been a more dangerous foe to human progress than too little govern ment. The struggle for freedom has been a struggle against privilege es- tablished by authority and buttressed by power. There can be no real llo- erty where the citizens livelihood is at the mercy of government and gov ernment is at the mercy of one mans wbim or desire or prejudice or ignor- anoe.
 We have faith therefore. that sIr Taft will stick to the Constitution and to the enumerated powers or his of- flee. which are worthy of any mans genius and sufficient occupation for the highest talent. He can safely leave the matter Of faith and morals to the pulpit; education to the schools and colleges; maternity to the mothers and paternity to the fathers; to the courts the trying of causes; to the States the powers reserved to the States. and to the people in general the right to engage in all lawful pur- suits.
 In spite O. recent assumption, the whole burden of government does not rest upon the President of the United States. There is a Congress whose members are directly responsible to the people of their districts and of their States. There are courts. aud judges may be impeached for cause. There are 6orty-six States which still retain in theory all the powers and duties not expressly delegated to the National Government. Even the wisest Of Presidents is neither omnis- cieDt nor infallible nor superhuman. If he appoints honest and competent men to office. recommends wise and necessary legislation to congress, safe- guards the public revenue and takes care that the saws are faithfully ex- ecuted, he has done all that the Con sttution requires. It is not neces- .sary that he should also seek to be a pillar Of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
 It is important that the tariff be re- yised and unjust privilege destroyed. 1T is important that there be a Fed eraI inheritance tax to shift part of the burdens of the Government from shoulders least capable of sustain ing them. It Is important that there be effective control of great corpora lions by due process of law and not by executive favor or disfavor. Above all things else is it essential that this shall be a Government not Of men, but of laws that vicious prccendents shall be overturned; that the iude- .pcndeucc Of the executive, the legisIa- tive and judicial departments be main-
 tained inyiolate; that there be no usurpauon Of authority, and that the powers and functions of constitutional government be not perverted to gradfy any mans ambition.

"Like Getting Money from Home,
Only You Don't Get Any"

Norfolk, Va, Jan. X2.-Editor
keowee Courier: I write yen few.
lines to-day to let you know hu, /
am getting along and that 1 have ar
rived here in the dear United States
again. l am getting alone fine-just
as fine as split silk; having a good
time and enjoying good health.
Our Trip Over.
We went from Trinidad, Cuba, on
December 81; sailed over the Carib-
bean sea to Batabano, Cuba, dist
ance OF 25O miles; then we took
train and came to Havana; stayed
there three days and had good
time, taking in the sights in the city
and everything that was worth see
ing. When we left there we took
the United States ship Prairie.
Three hundred of us boarded her,
and we were a jolly crowd as we
sailed the Atlantic. We went to
Philadelphia from Cuba, stayed
there two days, taking in the sights
OF, the Quaker city We had to coal
the ship while there. Perhaps all
those who read this will not under
stand what coaling a ship is, but If
you ever coal one you will soon
learn what 1t is and how to do it.
I'll say it is just like getting money
from home only you don't get any.
We only had to put 12O tons on her.
When she was coaled we sailed
from there to Norfolk. All are sta
toned here, and we find this a very
nice place. We have fine barracks
here. l am enclosing a post card
OF the barracks, so you can see for
yourself that 1t is fine place. Best
wishes for you and ALL

NEW SCHEME TO CHECK SPEED.
"Bump-the-Bumps" Devised to Force
Autos to Slow Down.

New York, Jan. 23.-"Bump-the-
bumps is the latest plan of the Long
Island Railway Company to force au-
tomobilists to check the speed of
their cars at crossings. If the pro-
1ect Is success. hummocks will be
erected on each side of the tracks at
all crossings on the road on Long
Island. No exception is to be made
where crossings are already protect
ed by gates or fiagmen, as 1t Is said
that some or the more reckless driv-
ers even attempt to dash past, des-
pite the flagman's warnings. The
bumps will be " inches high.
