er to the party of about six
ty young people who enjoyed the
hospitality of Gertrude Hunter
at her home on South Main street
The occasion, which was a re-
ception to many of the out-of-

was particularly enjoyable, as
the guests were at Liberty to
make themselves comfortable on
the lawn, both in hammOcks and
seats and coy corners. Later in
the evening a short musical
program was enjoyed. Marguerite
Clark, Alma Williamson and Free
Cooper sang solos, Herbert John
SON recited and Ruby Moore, Lois
Burns, Hazel Haas, Fay Baxter
and Albert Plumb gave instru
mental numbers. Huge bOquets
OF marguertes and geems add
ed to the beauty of the rooms
where six tables were used fol
convenience of those who wish
ed to play games. Frappe was
served all during the evening.

TURMOIL AND STRIFE
ARE RENDiNG SAVANNAH.
(Harper's Weekly.)

Savannah is reported to be in
tacit rebellion against the state pro-
hibition law In Georgia. Complaint
is made that the law is not enforced
in that city, and the prohibitionists
are yelling to Gov. Hoke Smith TO
Mrs. Armour of the Georgia w. c.
T. U. has inspected Savannah, and
reports to the Governor that "anar-
chy is rife" in that city. The rife
ness of the anarchy consists, appar-
emily, in letting the saloons sell
drinks as of old, and raiding them
once a month and collecting fines
about equal to the former license
fees. We read in the Sun, an excep-
tionally veracious newspaper, that
the brand of restriction which curbs
the bibulous propensities of Virginia
neither promotes morality and good
public conduct nor contributes to the
public revenue" The same author
ity finds that in Georgia and Ala
bama, more particularly in the cities
of Atlanta, Savannah, Birmingham
and Huntsville, prohibition now ap-
pears to have stimulated the crimi-
nal record and at the same time
crimped the treasury" There can
be very little question that zeal has
outrun discretion in the anti-rum
movement in the south, and that
much legislation that has aimed to
make states dry will rave to be re-
vised. The enforcement Of prohibi-
ton laws in communities in which
public opinion is strongly against
prohibition is uphill work and bad
for morals and public order. Short
term local option laws, which permit
an annual review of the question of
license or nolicense, seem to work
best. That matter ought to rest on
local public opinion, formed by OBJ
servation of practical results. Tha'
never satisfies the prohibitionists
who want all trafic and experiment
1 with the possibilities Of intoxicatioI
TO be forbidden by law and prevente'
by all the power of the state
does not accord with their purpos
that any one, however temperate G
; responsible, should enjoy freedom {

The reasons which have induced
these business men to appeal to
their fellow-citizens to vote for the
establishment of license in prefer
ence to unenforced prohibition should
be sufficient to convince every fair
minded man of the wisdom of a
change in policy in West Springfield.
These signers represent nearly ey-
cry business establishment that is
dependent upon the home trade.
Owing to the large number of tax
payers no effort was made to secure
their endorsement. The above busi-
ness and professional men are better
trimental effect of no-license than
the average suburban resident who
is not dependent upon the prosperity
of the community Tor livelihood.
Taxpayers nave felt the pinch of
prohibition. With an additional in
come of $8,151.58 FROM increased val
uation the tax rate remains SIT,
whereas with license revenue it
would have lowered to $16 per thous-
and. There will not be another $685.
600 increase in railroad valuation
this year and if recommended i'm
provements are voted without license
revenue, the tax rate must necessar-
lily increase.
Prohibition has not reduced the ex-
penditure for beverages. 1t has sim
ply thrown the traffic into Spring

field and with it much trade that
otherwise would have gone to West
Side merchants.
Following is their statement to the
voters:
To the Citizens of West Springfield:
Whereas, one years experience
under no-license has demonstrated
that liquor may be distributed legal
ly or illegally in West Springfield,
without the town deriving any fnan-
cial advantages from said distribu-
tion, and
Whereas, the conservative city Of
Springfield and other adjacent cities
and towns within easy access of our
borders have accepted license as the
most expedient policy:
We, the undersigned business men
of West Springfield, following the
policy of Springfield's leading COM
mercial interests, do favor license,
properly enforced, as being ethically,
commercially and financially advan-
tageous over no-license, and therefore
do prefer license in West Springfield
the ensuing fiscal year, 1909 to 1910.
The petition was signed by several
hundred business men who are inter-
ested in every variety of business
and the result will be watched with
interest.

Industry.
NEW ORDERS TOTAL

Car Manufacturers Place
Heaviest Orders of
Many Months.

SEATTLE, June H. washington
lumbermen are highly pleased today
by eastern news indicating the re-
vival of the lumber industry.
News has reached the city in the
form Of specifications for lumber or
ders aggregating over 100000 feet
which is expected to bring into the
Northwest $25O,00O. The specifi-
cations came from car manufac-
turers in Chicago, ST. Louis and Mil
waukee. 1t is the first big lumber
order received in Washington for
nearly a year.
M.lwaukee's specifications state that
the materials are for use in the man
ufacture Of 1900 refrigerator cars for
the Northern Pacific railroad. There
is another inquiry from the American
Car & Foundry company of st. Louis
for a bill of lumber aggegating 2,6e0,-
900 feet of the best materials, Lum-
bermen believe the business in sight
heralds the return Of old time ac-
tivity.

Informal Reception.

At the club rooms, which had been
beautified with flowers, ferns and To-
liage by members of the Woman's Park
club, short Introductory address was
made by DIR. S. B. L. Penrose, of
Whitman college, which was followed
by the address of welcome by Assist
ant City Attorney j. c. Hurspool, who
represented the city in the absence OF
Mayor Eugene Tausick.
1t was the desire Of the entertain
ment committee that the visitors be
wearied with no long and tedious pro-
gram of addresses, in which statistics
might play an important part, and as
Chairman II. H. Turner said, the COM
mittee desired to do one conventional
thing-extend royal welcome to the
Chicagoians. Following Mr.. Hurs-
noors welcome, H. H. Turner an
nounced that the remaining time that
was available would be spent in get
I1nR DeIIST acquainted anu III fT~A
ing of the strawberrTes and punch
that had been prepared in the exhibit
room.
There was mono of that restraint 30
common to eifnilar gatherings: every
one Of the visitors saw to it that the
welcome be accepted, and that they fell
free to do as they desired. In turn,
members of the Commercial club took
ii upon. themselves to show the Chica-
goans the best that was to be had. and
To make them feel Walla Walla's hos
pitality in manner not encountered
in other western cities. And SO weii
did they succeed, that, on leaving 1or
Pendleton at 1870 o'clock the excur-
sionists with a unanimous wave or the
purple and gold "Walla Walla" pen
nants. and a rousing cheer, attesteo
their appreciation Of what had Dee
