The whlskey advocates seem to
have pretty tight hold on the Stale
Senate. The prohlbltloh amendment
which passed the House by such a
large majority has not yet come to a
vote IN the Sena,e, and If it does, il
will probably be beaten. Both Sena-
tor Silver and Senator Mcintyre, OF
this district, are couutet against II,
and We do not doubt that they are
sized up just right. The Senate has
been wasting time this week on fake
local opuou law-lhe Craig bill
which las evidently been prepared by
the W llskey Interests, as 1t 10 d little
worse than no law at all. Senators
Silver and Mcintyre voted for it, 80
it must suit the liquor people all night.

IN one year, 1907, one man, with the
aid Of modern railroad appliances, was
able TO move one ton of freight 139, $50
miles. and one passenger 16,397 miles.
A man with good team of two horses
and a wagon on roads better than the
average American road would be doing
well TO haul " tons 30 miles, six days
in the week, or 1880 ton miles per
year, leaving no time for passenger
transportation. At this rate it would
require more than ten men and 20
horses TO do the freight transportation
which one man does with railroad
and without any horses: and to carry
the freight traffic which the railroads
OF this country carried last year, H.
100000 men and 35,00000 horses
would be required. instead OF the
l.672 900 men who actually not only ef-
fected the transportation of all this
freight, but OF all the passenger traf-
fic also The improvements since 1889
alone have enabled 1870 men to
