State, and many counties have
acted upon it. Some have voted
one way and some the other, and
each is at liberty from time to
time to vote upon the question

in accordance with the popular
will. But there are 114 counties in

The world cannot be safely and
sanely governed by emotional
ism. There are evils to be cor
rected, and social tendencies that
must be regulated, but it must be
done by cool, collected thought,
not by gusts of excitement, pas
sion or prejudice. No one can pre-
tend that whore Statewide pro-
hibition prevails the object sought

deal of liquor is consumed in
Maine, that has been under pro-

century. Many Intelligent OBJ
servers look to local option as

lieve in local option, also favor
high license whore saloons are
permitted, because high license
promotes responsibility and de-
corum. But State wide prohibi-
ton does not appeal to their
judgment. All evil cannot be
driven from the world with
stroke. 1t can be regulated, but
not by bursts of feeling. 1t is inn
possible to speak of this subject
without working around frequent-
ly to the word "practical." And
emotional laws are not practical
laws.

Worse Than Earthquakes.

Speaking of volcanoes, earth
quakes and other great convul-
sions of Nature, it may be we'll to
remember that there are some
things even more destructive;
witness a tale that is told of an oc-
currence during the earthquake in
Charleston, South Carolina, sew
eral years ago.
A resident of the shaken city,
while he felt that his duties re-
quired him to remain there to do
what he might for the sufferers,
sent his six-year-old son out of
the danger and confusion to the
youngsters grandfather in New
York. Three days after the boys
arrival the Charleston man re-
ceived this telegram from his
father: "Send us your earthquake
and take back your boy."-

February 6, 1909.
EDITOR REGISTER:
| am sending you a copy of a
short article from the Arkansas
Democrat of February 18th, enti-
tled-"SELLNG WHITE MEN! Re-
MARKABLE SCENES THAT DEMON
sTRATE THE CONDITION OF NEW
YoRK's UNEMPLoYED:"
New YORK, February 13th.-An
auction of white men on Lincoln's
birthday was the spectacle that
drew thousands of persons to the
park-side Presbyterian Church, in
Flatbush last night. The auction
was in reality an object lesson of
the conditions prevailing among
the working people and served to
get jobs for number of men.
The church was crowded when
Rev. John E. Long began an ad-
dress in which he outlined the
pitiable condition of many a man
who was willing to work but was
unable to secure a position. The
plan was to offer the men, as it
were, on the block to the person
who was to give them job
through which they could earn
subsistence, and few dollars be-
sides, if possible. Fifty men,
young and old, all more or less
shabbily garbed and displaying
in their ways the pinch of want,
were then led to the platform by
the auctioneer. All of the men
wore black masks so as to conceal
their identity to all but purchasers.
Each man was numbered and so
they were put on the block. Six
men we're slowly disposed of when,
as the hour was drawing late, the
spectators many. of whom keenly
felt the scenes they had witnessed,
formed themselves into commit
tee, took charge of the remaining
a., and promised to find homes
and jobs for them.'
And then l take up Chicago
paper known as the Christian Social
ist, and on the 7th page, first col
umn, find these words as part of
a set of resolutions passed by a
convention of the United Mine
Workers of Observation-Disclosures
in the light of the industrial de-
preston that has haunted America
for more than year, millions Of
willing workers have been forced
into involuntary idleness, there
fore denied access to the means of
life."
1t seems tome, Mr.. Editor, that I
remember having read somewhere
that there was an honorable job
for everyone, if he could only be
brought to it. | don't remember
that any directions were given as
to where those jobs were to be
found, but surely they are extant.
Probably, they are in that great
nation from which so many writers
draw their material, especially
sunshine and prosperity writer's
imagination.
F. P. HILBURN.
P. S.-Selling men at auction
ought to produce a brain-storm
under the foot of every man and
woman, but it WON'T, for the white
slave trade is a million times
worse and it scarcely creates a
summer zephyr in the minds of
some people.
We are SO used to reading Of
crimes that would put "Dante's g
Inferno" to the blush that they
scarcely create comment and are
forgotten in few minutes.
