Is Tidal Wave Coming?

1t looks to the editor of the Frankfort
Journal that the State wide prohibition
tidal wave will sweep Kentucky and he has
already begun to figure on the conse-
quences. He says:
''The prohibitionists, flushed with victory
in Tennessee and elsewhere, announce that
they will proceed to secure an amendment
to the Constitution for Statewide prohibi-
ton and if the present feeling continues,
they may get it. The saloon men them
selves and the low-down groggeries are
responsible for the determination to wipe
the business out. Had they obeyed the
laws and not tried to run politics, it might
have been different, but the trend of events
indicates that they have sinned away their
day of grace and there is no help for them.
We have never been a prohibitionist and
have opposed sumptuary legislation. But
we have always stood for high license, the
strictest police surveillance, their entire
enforcement from politics and complete
segregation in the cities that permit its sale.
In those towns and localities where the law
can be enforced, and the people want it, we
believe that local option should prevail. In
other words, the Democratic principle of
home rule should apply everywhere.
cit begins to look, however, like nothing
can prevent the rush of the tidal wave
sweeping the country and that Kentucky
will be also deluged. The saloon men who
have made that prospect possible cannot
prevent it now by promise to be good.
The prohibitionists are deeply, direfully in
earnest and will not rest till they attain
their object of closing saloons. Then they
will shut their eyes in satisfaction and give
no aid to the enforcement of the law against
bootleggers and blind tigers

THE STATE PRESS.

Shreveport Caucasian: fortunately New
Orleans is not the State nor its Judges the
final legal authorities of the State.
Monroe Star: The Confederate reunion
will be held this year at Memphis, Tenn,
June 9Th, 9th and 10th. And it is said that
the reunion is to be for the vets, as it
should be.
Mansfield Enterprise: Internal revenue
reports show that there was 10000, 900
gallons less of booze made last year, than
the year before. Prohibition must have
some effect.
Claiborne Guardian journal: The vio-
lators of the prohibition law in Shreveport
are being given Jail sentences. This is the
only way to break up the sale of intoxi-
cants in prohibition territories.
Monroe Star: W. M. Watson was fined

by Judge Fullilove Of the Shreveport City
Court Monday for selling booze. 1t is

to say it but there are q lottof people here

water out of the town branch or counting
cross ties.
Lake Charles Herald: Some one said
recently that if the next session of the
Legislature would repeal half of the laws
now on the statute books and then adjourn
it would do more for the State than any

their names go ringing down through the

Sensible Indiana Negroes.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.]
A dispatch from Gary, Indiana, says the
decent and law biding negroes of that
town have determined to drive out of it the
lawless element of their race. It seems
that great many crimes have been COM
mitted there recently by negroes and at .
mass meeting of the better element it was
resolved to make concerted attempt to
bring the wrong-doers to justice.
One of the speakers, the editor Of negro
paper, declared "these men must be driven
out of the community. They are creating
sentiment against our race and are q
disgrace to the better class of our people. !"
This is a proper and a sensible view to
take of the situation, and is to be COM
mended because it speaks we'll for the self
respecting negroes of the town.
1t is evident that these colored people
have much better and higher apprecia-
ton of the duty they owe to themselves
than is the case with their brethren in the
South. But there is no doubt that it would
be a good thing for the communities in the
South in which the negroes constitute a
considerable part of the population if the
better element among them were to adopt
the course of the decent colored people Of
Gary. But unfortunately the negroes Of
the South have adopted the rule of shild-
ing the criminals of their race instead OIL
aiding in the detection and punishment Of
them, hence sentiment is created from
which the whole race suffers. the good al
we'll as the bad.
This mistake which is very serious one
was not made by the law abiding negroe,
of the Indiana town, and it is to be hopee
that the example they have set will not b.
entirely lost on their race in the South.

A SEASON OF REST,

The forty days of Lent beginning yester-
day with Ash Wednesday are regarded by
many people as a season of rest-a rest for
the society woman from the arduous
work of balls, bridge parties, theater
parties and dinner parties; rest for the
stomach from too much food and drink;
rest from the pursuit of pleasure which has
overtaken the body and mind of thousands
of excellent people. The tax of social
duties and engagements upon the women
and men who make them their chief occu-
patton for several months each year is not
to be lightly regarded, and unless there
We're some intermission no flesh could
stand it. A good bishop has said that
those people who will not fast willingly will
be made to fast. That is, unless there is a
period of moderation in eating and drink
ing, some rest for the stomach and other
organs, their owner will get sick and will
fast.
Men and women are the only created
animals in this world who exercise self
restraint, self-control and self-mastery.
All other animals are guided by the inn
pulse and the desire of the moment which
they do not resist. The men or the women
who lose self control, who do not do some
things which they have no desire to do,
and who do not refrain from doing things
they desire to do-these people sink to q
lower level than that they should occupy.
Said st. Paul: 81 keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection;" that is to
say, he reduced his body to a condition OF
slavery under his will. He treats his body
as his antagonist, which he fights not as

GIRLS CHINESE MISSION ROUTED
Chicago Police Find Six Young Women
With Twenty of the
Orientals.

Chicago, June se.-Twenty Chinese
students grouped about six young
women teachers were routed by the
police Sunday from mission meeting
conducted for several weeks in the
basement of a south side apartment
building by three sisters.
The police were reused to action by
the complaints of persons living near
the mission. The police informed the
sisters after their raid that under the
building laws the basement could not
be used as a school and limited that it
might be well to close it up entirely.
The teachers refused to do this and
moved the school upstairs into some
private rooms.
When the police entered the Chinese
broke for the doors and windows. Only
six returned for the adjourned session
upstairs.

DRY FARMING IN OREGON
PROVES MoRTGAGE-RAIsER

Grain raised by dry farming methods
in 1907 gave George Rodman of Culver,
Ore, 1896 in cash, besides furnishing
him with feed for his stock and seed
for the coming year, and still he has
enough to carry him over to another
year. With this crop he has cleared his
920-acre ranch of indebtedness.
Oregon farmers are preparing to
send large exhibits of the grains
raised on so-called dry farm to be dis
played at the Second International Ex-
position of Dry Farm Products, which
will be held at Billings, Montana, next
October 1920, in connection with the
Fourth Dry Farming Congress.

power for pumping and other purposes
at small cost, as the distance of trans
mission is short. Two lines of electric
railways are projected from Spokane to
Miles. One of these will be built by
the Spokane & Inland Empire Electric
railway system, headed by Jay p.
Graves, who is backed by Chicago, New
York and Boston capitalists. This COM
pany already has more than 220 miles
of electric lines in operation in eastern
Washington and northern Idaho. One
of its lines is within a few miles of
the Occur d 'Alene reservation.
The Indians on the Spokane reserva-
ton are generally intelligent and peace
able and all are self-supporting. In
character, they are AS far above the
vagabond Siwashes who frequent the
alleys and backdoors of the city, as
the white farmers are above the com
mon hoboes. Chief Joseph, head of the
once powerful Nez Perez tribe, who
gave General o. o. Howard his hardest
fight in the frontier days, lived there
several years after his Punishment from
the Snake river country. He was the
most intelligent Indian of his time, and
his death was deplored by the whites
and reds alike.
Antoine Shelea is the sole survivor
of the old chieftains. He lives in the
Antwoine valley, near the Okanogan
river. In the early days there was
only one great chief, but before his
death he appointed three, one of whom
is old Antoine, who is head of the tribe.
Most of the Indians live in houses and
cultivate small farms, while the squaws
busy themselves with basket making
and bead work, at which they are
adopts. They like to visit and they are
never too busy to feast and talk of the
days that were and of those to come.

AHeach of these towns there are general
s4fes and hotel and livery accommoda.
tions, While Reardan, Davenport and
Springdald have banks. These towns
may be reached in few hours ride
from Spokane, and from each is a good
wagon road to the reservation.
The lands is level and is covered with
a scattering growth of yellow pine trees,
which will yield from 100000 to 100000
feet board measure, the quarter section.
There is little underground. There are
two sawmills, each within mile of the
boundary Of the reservation. The soil
is sandy with little white clay inter
mingled. 1t should probably be rated
as agricultural land of the second class.
The altitude is 1900 feet above sea
Kevel, or little lower than the city of
Spokane. The climate is similar to that
of other portions of the Inland Empire.
There are no high winds, as the valley
at that point is protected by mountain
ranges on both sides.
The land is best adapted to fruit
raising. Soil, climate and altitude rem
der it especially available for apple
growing and small fruit culture. To
insure crops, irrigation should be pro-
vided. There is no water available to
be supplied by gravity, but wells from
25 to 35 feet in depth should provide
ample supply.
Much of the land allotted to the In
,dians has been and can be leased
through the Indian agent. When an
Indian dies his allotment, on applica-
tion of the heirs, is sold by the Indian
agent to the highest bidder and the pro-
.ceeds distributed among the heirs.
Lands belonging to Indians, who are
unable to utilize them by reason of age,
illness or disability, may be sold in like
manner.
Many Of these allotments are irrig-
