ANTl.sALooN ORGANIZATION.

The daily papers are discovering
that the Nebraska Anti-saloon league
has no offensive organization in any
legislative district or county In the
state for influencing platform dec
laratlons or nominating candidates
for the legislature. Letters are pub
lished from the weekly newspaper
editors of the counties in the first,
second, third and fourth districts,
showing that no such organizations
exist.
The only wonder is that the astute
the discovery. The Anti-saloon
league is a magnificent collecting ma
chine, and there its effectiveness
stops. 1t disclaims any part in on
yentions or platforms, makes no pre-
paration for the nomination of suit
able candidates at primaries, and
and simply attempts to carry cleo
tons by proclamations issued from
the headquarters at Lincoln, and from
the rational headquarters in Ohio.
The Capital has frequently suggest
ed that the failure to secure a county
option legislature two years ago was
because earnest county o%ptionists be-
lieved the state was organized, when
in fact the organization was only a
pretence, and that the coterie res
ponsible for this situation had been
so intent on securing donations from
churches to keep up salaries that the
nomination of candidates had been
totally neglected.
The campaign is too far along this
year, and the issue is too vital to
wilfully permit of the same mistake
again. The fact hat an organiza-
ton keeps up its existence and main
tains "superintendentS' and "at-
torneys'' on fat salaries through the
aid of money collected on the in
side of churches does not exempt it
from sensible criticism. What is
demanded is less proclamation and
more result.
What the Anti-saloon league claims
is that it ~worksentirely within the
church,-that it is the church in
action against the saloon. 1t organ
ICES by naming three men i'm each
church whose duty it is to furnish to
the Headquarters at Lincoln the names
of the church men who will vote
against the saloon. These men are
to be instructed by mail from Lincoln
how to vote, and the sum of $4,000
is to be collected for this purpose.
None of this money is to be per-
mitted for use in the local counties.
General Superintendent Baker, of
Ohio sends out notice hat some. of
the churches may retain some of the
money thus collected for their local
campaign, but not for long, if they
have a name to live and want to re-
tain it," Could anyNlanguage be
more vigorous or any plan more
simple?
1t might seem that, inasmuch as
the money is collected in the
churches, those who do not pay and
who dc not belong to the organiza-
ton have no call to criticise. This

SO learned a man as Pliny asserted
that "a comet is ordinarily a very
