SEEING LIGHT ATLAsT

Oregon defeated prohibition by
5000. The same thing will hap
pen in Idaho if it ever comes to a
vote. The majority of the pee
pie everywhere seem to think
that prohibition fails to prohibit.
Does local option prohibit the
sale of liquor in Grangeville,
Lewiston and other places? On
the contrary, liquor is being sold
in nearly every town affected by
the local option law, and Idaho
would be better off, ten thousand
times, with licensed saloons than
prohibition blind pigs. "-Koos-
kia Mountaineer.
The above coming from one of
the staunchest dry" papers in
Idaho county, or in the state for
that matter, simply bears out the
contention of many wet" citi-
zens that neither prohibition nor
local option will prohibit the sale
or use of liquor. It is necessary
for an overwhelming majority of
the citizens in any community to
be in favor of prohibition in order
for it to be enforced there-and
where such a majority exists the
liquor traffic is so small as to be
almost blank. Where the ma
jority leans the other way pro-
hibitory laws will prove failure
and a close look into the condi-
tons in old prohibition state for
years past win bear out this
statement.

A Boise dispatch to the Salt
Lake Tribune regarding the men
who will compose the upper house
of Idaho's next legislature has
the following to say about Idaho
county's senator:
Jacob Eckert was elected SEN
ator from Idaho county. He is a
republican with previous expert
ence in the state senate of Idaho,
six years ago. Senator Eckert
is a farmer from Cottonwood;
just plain, blunt man. He is
commonplace, honest, charitable,
and an all-around good fellow.
His neighbors of that sturdy
Dutch settlement, Cottonwood,
saved him from defeat last Tues
day, for Jim Surridge, his demo-
cratic opponent, had a record
too, and made him rustic to save
his political bacon. Eckert will
be strong factor in the senate,
not in pyrotechnics, but in calm,
solid, matter-of- fact judgment. "

The Kamiah Progress states
that the Sites Sentinel has sus-
pended publication. Well, Sites
never deserved a paper in the
first place and has never given
any paper there half way decent
support. It is a wonder to US
that Uncle" Frank Roberts
hung on there as long as he did,
and had it not been for his bull
dog tenacity and never say die"
spirit, he would have let that
town go voiceless long ago.

An exchange says some statist-
ical fiend has figured it out that
the average cost per mile for
running an auto is ten cents, and
that every duck the sportsman
kills costs $3.50, and every fish
he catches $3.50. These figures
are interesting and probably ac-
curate, but there are others.
For instance your first baby costs
you close to 81, 900, your religion

Monster Petition to Abolish Liquor
Shipments.

Miss Olive Bray of Topeka, super
intendent of the state department of
legislation, has secured the signatures
of thousands of Kansans to the follow
ing petition:
ITO the Senate and House of the
United States of America:
I'VE, the undersigned, citizens of the
state of Kansas. do most respectfully
ask that a law be enacted making. it
unlawful for any person in any state
or territory to sell, ship, carry or trans
port any intoxicating liquor to any
person in any other state or territory,
except to those authorized to sell in
toxicating liquor by law of the state or
territory of their residence. and MAX
ing it unlawful for any person. rail-
road, express company. common car
rier or their agents or employees to
receive for shipment, carriage or
transportation, or to ship, carry, trans
port or deliver any Intoxicating liquor
to any person in any other state or
territory, except to those persons
named above"
The name of Governor Stubs heads
the list and most of the state and
county officers are represented there.
Miss Bray has been very successful in
her work. The idea of this petition
had its inception at the state conven-
ton of the w. c. T. U. at Clay Cen
ter last october. Hundreds of similar
petitions are being circulated in Kan
SaS at this time.

"Carping critics hnd fault with our

about manufacturers. Well there are

the great papers of Chicago, New
York, Kansas City and other big cities
come in? Right here. They get
thousands and thousands and thous-
ands of dollars worth of advertising
from the importers and department
stores. Many department store own
ers are importers. The newspapers to-
day are directed by the department

to suit at a moments notice. This
country is cursed with a lot of news
papers and newspaper writer's: Tear

A Billion Dollar Country.
Newspapers say. ooh, look at the
millions the government Is spending
every year. What a billion dollars!
Horriblei Horrible! shameless waste
of the peoples money. Ny friends,
this is a billion dollar country. That's
the answer of the Republican party
to the newspapers. We spend millions
for pensions, for river and harbor i'm
provements, for the army and the
navy, for public buildings, for agricul-
ture, for reclamation of arid lands,
payment of salaries of courts and fed
a. n
a billion dollars? Under the protective
tariff we have it to spend. Under this
system we are the richest nation on
the globe. Under the Democratic party
with its low tariff we would not spend
a bi1lion-we would not have it to
spend. We would issue bonds and be
paying on them forever
1.-The coming fight will be a great one.
1t will be a fight between those who
have made the country prosper and
those who are crazy to return to power
and ruin the nation. But twice in half
a century has the Democratic party
been able to seat it's candidate in the
White House. Both these administra-
tons were those OF Grover Cleveland
erd both times the country faced al
most ruin when the Democratic party
went out. The protective tariff is what
the American people want. 1t is what
they have declared for since the Re
publican party won it first victory"
Mr.. AIcKinlay closed with an eloquent
appeal TO his audience to stand by the
ps rty of Lincoln, of Mckinley and of
Roosevelt, whom he termed that heroic
figure" in the next campaign.

Evidence That Insurance Legislation
Was Bought at Albany.

New York, March 19.-With every in
dication that further astonishing reve-
lations would be forthcoming the in
ouiry begun yesterday into the methods
employed in influencing legislation at
Albany affecting fire Insurance COM
ranies was resumed by Superintendent
of Insurance Hotchkiss here today.
If a bombshell had been dropped into
the state legislative camp the shock
could have hardly been more sudden
or in way mora startling in its effects
than was The explosion at the first ses-
sion of the hearing. There was abso-
lutely no warning that anything was
about to develop and the revelations
that Immediately began to crop out took
everybody by surprise, Today there
was general expectation that the in
quiry might rival that of the Armstrong
investigation of life Insurance affairs
in 1905-06.
Testimony already has been present
ed to show that the New York board
Of fire underwriters. composed of Off
GERS. of fire insurance companies doing
business in New York spent consider
able sums for legislative purposes and
that for many years the legislative rep
resentative Of the insurance companies
had been Elijah r. Kennedy, an elder
ly and wealthy Brooklyn man.
1t was brought out that during the
1901 session of the legislature, the on3
during which the Allds-Conger affair
developed, the Insurance companies had
a bill prepared providing that their re-
Insurance funds be considered liab1li-
ties AMI consequently not subjected to
taxation contrary to a court of appeals
under the law 1t had stood. The
bill passed but was not signed by Gov
ernor OdeIl until Just before the ex-
piration of the 30 day period following
legislative adjournment.
Other testimony was given TIC the eff
feet that about $1,000 had been disburs-
ed as presents to various persons with
roliticaI influence to get the bill through
the legislature, including $500 to George
w. Aldridge, of Rochester, member of
the Republican state committee that
contribution of $1,000 had been made to
the Republican state committee from
funds in Mr.. Kenpedy's hands. Also,
that Governor OdelI was opposed to the
bill ard had decided to veto 1t but,
according to Mr.. Kennedy's testimony,
had, after a most urgent presentation
of the case by Kennedy. reversed his
position and finally signed the bill

Washington. March 19.-With the
warning factions apparently as de-

bitter end the contest that was pre-

sentative Norris, (Neb.,) introduced
his now famous resolution to increase
the membership of the committee on
rules and drop therefrom the speaker
the house of representatives reas-
sembled at noon today, presumably to
receive the ruling of Speaker Cannon
resentative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
against the measure.
Refreshed by many hours of great
ly needed rest, the members gathered
far more physically fit to continue
their bitter struggle than they were
during those long closing hours that
marked the efforts of the house to
bring to some manner of conclusion
the difficult problem with which it
had been confronted by the move of
the insurgent Republicans and their
Democratic allies
No whit abated by adjournment
shortly before o'clock yesterday eve
ming, interest among members of Of
fetal Washington and the public gem
orally was so pronounced today that
it was clear there would be practical
ly a full attendance on the floor of
the house and the gallery would be
thronged. All are eager to see the
denouement of this history-making
period. None could be found today
who could venture what was anything
more than an opinion as to what the
outcome would be.
Leaders of the factions knew what
their respective lines of action prob
ably would be but they could not tell

what measure of success they might
WIN Much like two armies that for
many long hours had contended on a
field of battle and then, wearied of
neither yielding one foot of the
ground for which they had fought
the political adversaries stood ready
to renew the conflict.
Important conferences have been
held since the adjournment OF yester-'
day and now it remains for the re-
newal OF the struggle to show what
course of action has been decided upon
by the leaders.
Worn and haggard. his unshaven
face drawn and pale and his eyes red
and swollen from sleeplessness and
hours of intense application, Mr.. Nor
ris, the leader of the little band of in
surgents, which has held the balance
of power in the house through one of
the most dramatic periods in its his
tory, made this declaration Immediate
ly after the house had voted to adj
journ. He. himself, had voted to re-
main longer in session:
1.-The insurgents who voted for this
postponement did so because they be-
to the accomplishment of what we are
striving for and do not disapprove of
their action in the least. 1t will give
US opportunity to confer with the
leaders Of the regulars and see how
far they are willing to go in conced-
ing us victory.
you may be sure of one thing. We
shall not compromise principle and we
will be found voting at the finish for
just what-we voted for at the start"
Representative Madison of Kansas.
one of the insurgent leaders, declared:
You can say for me that I would
rather be licked to a finish than to
stand for any sort of milk and water
compromise. 1 intend to fight this
thing through to a finish and I think
all of the insurgents will stand solid"
The conference of regulars and in
surgents failed to reach an agreement
and at IL o'clock the members left
the committee room.
There is no agreement and the
fight is on" said Representative Nor
ris.

HOMES ARE GOING UP.

Topeka is just now making a noise
like prosperity This is the way in
which one of the realty men summed
up the present situation. Some of the
elements which go to make up this
general prosperity sound as described
by the land man, is the click of the
hammer, the rumbling of wagons plac-
ing material for new construction work
on the ground, the honk honk of the
autos of the property dispensers who
are so fortunate as to possess machines
and the enthusiastic line of talk which
is now being dealt out to prospective
customers by these same realty men.
People are f1ocking to Topeka. Dur
ing the past two weeks, according to
n. B. Rurge, the Topeka Transfer
company has handled the household
goods of twelve families which have
arrived in the city to make Topeka
their home; the Anterior Transfer
company 6. and the Merchants Trans
fer company z. This makes a total of
25 families which are helping to
swell the population of the capital
city.
