SUNLESS nOut OF Stern reailJy MS
dream is shattered for human
nature is the same yesterday,
today and forever.
In the light of history would
it not be best to let we'll enough
alone? Why blindly insist upon
fastening this incubus upon
Missouri, which contains the
fourth largest city in the Union?
If small cities like Portland,
Augusta, Wichita, Leavenworth,
Oklahoma City and Memphis
find the task impossible. and
what will be the condition in st.
Louis and Kansas City if this
measure is enacted into law?
Today. 76 of the largest and fin
est counties in Missouri are dry.
The State is prosperous and at
peace with itself and the world
so, in the name of calm rea-
son and good sense. why not let
well enough alone? Why not
push the fight against the saloon
without violating the American
priciple of local self-government?
The advocates of temperance
have been winning victory after
victory under the local option
law. Should they not be content
to fight it out along these lines
in the future as in the past?
The census figures which have
just been made public show that
Missouri needs to get down to
business as never before if we
are to hold our enviable position
in tho sisterhood of States. We
need to tell the outer world
about our matchless resources
and limitless opportunities--for to
do this means that we will attract
thousands of newcomers from
other States but it means a sub
stantial increase in the value of
every acre of land within our
boundaries. That such ends
cannot be subserved by voting
upon the State a measure which
means endless turmoil, agitation
and strife for the next twenty
years should be apparent to every
sensible citizen who views the
matter calmly for a moment.
And here is the point-to get
men to think before they act.
If this is done, Statewide Pro-
hibition will be defeated by
100, 900 majority--and this re-
suit will not be a victory for the
saloon as an institution but a
victory for common sense and
the sacred American principle of
local self-government.
The several communities in
Missouri must rise or fall to-
gether. What hurts one must
eventually rebound against the
other. The city of st. Louis is
not only the fourth city in the
Union but is the Missouri farm
ers greatest market place-and
hence, when its thousands of
business men and every labor
union appeal to the state to pro-
tect it against the demoralizing
conditions which would follow
the adoption of statewide pro-
hibition should not that appeal
be needed as matter of good
business sense as we'll as COM
mon fairness? Think it over.
There is nothing like looking
at great public question from
all standpoints. The brewing
and distilling interests of Mis-
souri, buy $25, 200, 900 worth of
corn per annum. Destroy this
great market and the inexorable !
law of supply and demand will
reduce the price of this great
product of the farm.

Party platforms may not be
sacred but every good party man
abides by them for they repre-
sent the will of the majority
and from the day when Thomas
Jefferson penned the immortal
Declaration of Independence up
to the present hour, majorities
as they have expressed themsel.
YES in party platforms and legis-
lative halls have formed our
governmental policies. Both the
Democratic and Republican
state platforms are pledged to
local option as against Statewide
Prohibition.
When the prohibition amend.
ment was pending before the
State Legislature it was carefully
estimated with those familiar
with the fiscal affairs of Mis-
souri, that the loss of revenue in
cident to the abolition of the
liquor traffic in this State would
necessitate an increase in the
State tax levy of about forty
five per cent, and hence the
well-known "tax-rider" was at
tached to the amendment. The
prohibition amendment, as is
well-known, was rejected by the
State Legislature. But the cal
culations then made by the State
officials ane tax experts still hold
good today. The Tenth Consti-
tutional Amendment makes no
provision whatsoever to meet
the deficit which is certain to
occur in the event of it's adop-
ton, but the expenses of main
tanning the State government
must be met, and an increase in
the State tax levy will follow as
certainly as if it were provided
in the amendment. The State
records are public records, and
are open to inspection. The
Missouri taxpayer who, before
voting for Prohibition. fails to
inform himself as to the cost of
it will have none but himself to
blame.
The adoption of the Tenth
Constitutional Amendment can
have but one effect in the dry
territory of Missouri. That ter
ritory cannot be made more dry
than it is. The liquor traffic
not be more rigidly excluded
from local option counties than
it now is. The only possible eff
feet of prohibition in the dry
county will be the increase in
the State tax levy, which will be
felt by every taxpayer in Mis-
souri,, whether he resides in a
local option county or not.
1t takes about six million dol
lars a year to run the Missouri
State government and support
the support the State institutions.
That money must come from
where. The millions which
come from the liquor industry
must be replaced. The money
must be put in the treasury by
somebody. 1t must come out of
somebody's pocket. The tax
payers of Missouri must pay the
bill, and the dry voter will have
to pay his part. This is simply
a plain statement of a self evil
lent fact.
Statewide Prohibition abro-
crates the principle of local self
government. 1t nullifies the
right of each county to speak
The Jackson herald., 1910-10-20

Statewide Prohibition abro-
CRATES the principle of local self
government. 1t nullifies the
right of each county to speak
for itself on the liquor question.
Are you willing that your county
shall be deprived of that right?
The Jackson herald., 1910-10-20

DO unto others as you would
be done BY" This is the plea.
old as the Sermon on the Mount,
which the wet counties and the
large cities of Missouri are max.
The Jackson herald., 1910-10-20

Obnoxious as the thought may
be you can't get away from the
proposition that if the dry peo-
pie have the right to vote the
saloons out all over the state the
wet people have the right to
vote them in all over the state.
The wise advocate of temper
ance will let well enough alone
and not force an obnoxious law
upon wet counties and cities
against their will lest some day
chickens come home to roost.

NEED FOR OFFICERS
Congress Will Be Asked for
900 Additional Men.

An attempt win be made next winter 10
induce Congress to enact legislation pro-
viding 500 additional army officers. For
the last several years officers OF the army
have endeavored TO obtain legislation OF
this character. but have failed.
Next winter. however. the War Depart
ment authorities will follow a new course
to further the bill. The measure viii be

other $50 to be assigned to similar de-
taehed duties.
Away from Regiments.
At present. about $50 army omcers are
serving on detached duty away from their
regiments. For the last several years the
absenteeism In the army has been pointed
out by the different department com
manders.
Several months ago Secretary OF War
Dickinson issued an order directing that
such officers on detached duty whose
services could be spared should be re-
turned 10 tnelr organization. ms order
was issued 10 improve the conditions in
the regular army organizations which are

At the same time IL resulted In with
drawing active officers from important

lions is so important as 10 warrant the

The Laws of Nature.

Editor The Washington Herald
Two revelations have been given to
mantle Bible and nature. The Bible
is the expressed will of God. made known
in human language. Nature is the i'm
pressed will OF God. and its revelation
when definitely ascertained Is Just as
divine as the other. Both emanated from
the same source. the Infinite one and
both show forth equally the wisdom and
goodness Of the author.
The study OF the first leads to a knowl-
edge OF God as He has revealed Himself
in the world OF God The study Of the
second IS confrmatory in character, ami
acquaints one with the domain of sci
ence. The law which forbids stealing or
murder is nc more divine than the chemi-
cal law which weds atoms Of oxygen
and hydrogen In fixed proportions. form
ing the compound known as water The
law is as divine in one case as in the
other. for both emanate from the same
divine source.
The laws OF chemistry are not taught
IN a direct revelation. the Bible. because
they can be ascertained by the study Of
physical science. In that way all these
natural and chemical laws have been
ascertained. and with the same spirit
should they be studied.
When DR.. Priestly studied the nature
and properties OF oxygen. and finally
made his discoveries known to the world.
he performed as efficient and religious
service as when he proclaimed and en-
forced burning truths from the Bible
There was and may be as much rever-
ence and devotion in the one case as in
the other. The planets as they wheel
through space in harmony with a divine
plan saw TO all:
The hand that made us IS divine"
In like manner 8 It true. whatever his
name, rank. or nation. that
THE undevout astronomer is mad"
Revelation. in the opening verse Of the
greatest oracle ever expressed in the uni
verse. declares:
I'm the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth" That is the be-
ginning Of things. To him who accepts
IT and in a measure appreciates it. the
heavens declare the glory Of God and
the armament showeth His handiwork."
In other words. the impressed Will con-
firms and strengthens the expressed will
OF God. They harmonic.
l wish to call attention to what is pop
ularly denominated the flaws Of nature. q"
but which. I fear. is often imperfectly
understood. No definite idea is formed
when the expression is used. notwith-
standing ii has been boldly proclaimed
that
He who studies natures laws
From certain truths his maxims draws %
Il may be declared with assurance that
the laws OF nature" have never been
clearly and definitely codihed, and consc-
quently what may have been accepted by
one person would be rejected as spurious
by another. In my judgment, then. we
shall not go wrong II we heed the sensi-
bic suggestion contained in Pope's essay
on criticism. which contains some OF the
quintescence OF pedagogy, or true teach
ing. Here Is the language:
First follow nature, and your Judgment
frame,
By her just standard, which is still the
same.
Unerring nature still divinely bright"
