PROHIBITION
WRONG IN THEORY
AND PRACTICE

Ed. Journal: - Among the many
issues that confront us at this cleo
tion is this thing some people call
prohibition. Prohibition is all right
in theory, but poor In practice. You
cannot prohibit by legislation, and
nowhere in the United States has
prohibition been effective. Laws
have been defied and hypocrites
been created. The people Of Ore
gon who are truly interested in the
welfare of our state, are arrayed
against this prohibition movement.
An Anti-prohibitionis is too liberal
when he comedies that prohibition is
"all right in theory" On the con-
trary, it is just because 1t Is all
wrong in theory, that it is so poor
in practice" To come out right in
practice il is always essential that
the theory on which anything Is
based be correct and true. Theory
and practice are to each other as
soul and body, and it is universally
recognized that the right working Oh
the body is dependent entirely on
that of the soul. Can that be cor
rect theory which seeks to override
the deepest and most essential quail
ity of human nature, implanted from
creation, viz, freedom of the WILL
which is ever and always will be re-
speeted by the creator. The prohi-
bitionist sets up his puny inteliec'
and says the Creator is all wrong in
his slow and patient method of ere
ating manhood in man through the
free exercise of his own choice. No,
he will show how much better ne
can reform man from what he deems
his errors. He win by hook or
crook-mainly by crook-raise up

RESUME OF
POLITICAL
SITUATION
: Nl.sl
1uv1rrp rrrss 1rAsnp w1nn. ]


New York, Nov. 7.--Although the
politicians Of the country are keeping
up show of activity today, the cam
paign has virtually ended. Eenergies
are devoted to final perfection of
plans to iget out Che vote"
The biggest factor the country
over, as the political forecasters fig
ure it, is the silent vote" Never in
the history of the country has 1t been
more difficult to accurately forecast
the outcome of an election.
Men have broken away from the
old party ties, but they have been
silent on the question of the men
they will support. The Independent
vote is the big factor. They have
listened to the campaign orators,
smoked cigars furnished by both
sides, but have gone silently on their
way. The politicians admit that they
4are at sea.
1t is known that there is general
feeling of dissatisfaction over the
tariff law. How widespread this
feeling is and how it will affect the
outcome varies as one talks to the
managers of the two old parties. 1t
is admitted that the high cost of liv-
ing is factor, and that similar ques-
tions have arisen, coupled with the
insurgent movement, and that these
matters will affec' the vote of both
parties in certain sections.
1t is the first time, the politicians
say, for many years when an election
has come up with entirely new issues
before the people, and with that feel
ing of unrest which in 1890, was
called the Democratic feeling"
Since 1904, when the country was
swept by the Roosevelt landslide and
congress was overwhelmingly placed
in the hands of the Republican par
ty, the independent voter has been an
increasingly large puzzle to the fore
caster. In the election of 1906 the
Independents upset we'll made calcu-
IdJlOnS III many SOdlSS "hSiO INC mo
chimes Of the old parties were sup
posed to be we'll oiled and running
smoothly. The conditions which two
years later made it possible for Taft
to carry states in which Democratic
Congressman had been elected and
Democratic governors chosen have
become still more uncertain and pre-
dictions by the dopsters are admitted
to- be mere guesses.
The first returns, 1t is expected,
will come from Massachusetts,. The
Democrats are expecting victory
there or at least an unusually large
vote, and the result is awaited with
keen interest, as the first Indication
of the general trend.
1t is expected that the results In
MASSACHUSETTS will be known at p.
m, Eastern time Tuesday.
In New York, where the fight has
been very bitter, 1t is expected returns
Will begin to come in by p. m, and
the final result will be determined.
1t is believed. by 10 o'clock.
Although by midnight the result in
many congressional districts will be
in, headquarters of the Democratic
and Republican campaign committees
expect no definite news on the con-
gressional situation before Wednes-
day.

RESURFkC|NG PART OF
WEST KING STREET
Notahse improvements Being Made BY
Board of Affairs, Including
New Sewer.

From The World of Tuesday:
The Board OF Affairs under the SUI
pervision of City Engineer Hess, is
putting in line of 1Sincn sewer pipe
10 replace the old dry stone wall
sewer on South Church stree, just
north of King, and to connect with the
sewer that runs east from Church
street, thence across Maple avenue
back of the post office. The old stone
sewer was nearly filled with sand,
and stones and rubbish and as a result
the water backed on West King street
neighborhood were overfowedl caus-
ing much annoyance, besides making
mudhole at the intersection OF King
and Church streets. The Improvement
now being made viii do away with
this trouble, it is confidently believed
The work of resurfacing West King
street from Raleigh street to Maple
avenue, two blocks. which was begun
last week has been somewhat delay
ed for the want of crushed stone which
the Board of Affairs is getting from
Standard Limestone Co. But he work
is going along satisfactorily new and
the job will be finished before. freez,
ing weather sets in.
Engineer Hess is having the work
done according 10 accepted road build
ing methods. The street is first dug
up and reshaped to conform to grade
and then rolled. Three sizes stone
are being used namely, course, medi-
um and screenings of top dressing.
This will then be rolled with the
| steam roller, making a fine quality of
macadam road. The town needs much
more of it, but Will have to wait till

FOUGHT FLAMES
Stubborn Blaze Damaged Doll Proper
ty on East Burke Street TO
Amount of 5000.

From The World OF Tuesday:
Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing fire broke out in the Doll house,
corner of East Burke and Spring
streets, occupied by Messrs. Harry l..
and Frank w. Doll, and damaged the
property to the amount of $500 or
more. the less being covered by insur-
ance.
The fire started back of the fireplace
in the bed room over the parlor on the
west side of the parlor on the west
west side of the house. In this !ay Mr..
Harry L. Doll critically i'll with par
alysis. A good eoal fire was kept
burning in the CRATE last night and
sparks from the CRATE in some man
ner ignited the Notwithstanding be-
side the chimney. Mrs. H. L. Doll
noticed smoke in the room ABOUT z
o'clock and called the attention of her
brotherin-Iaw, Mr.. Frank Doll, to It..
He went up to the attic and found
there was fire at the place described.
He threw a couple buckets of water on
the blaze and at first thought he had
it out. but the fire had spread farther
than he was aware of. Ryneal Co.,
whose fire house is nearby, were called
and the boys went to work. The fire
still gaining Roadway and finally
bursting out in the attic and setting
fire to the old shing,es under the
slate roof. the fire bell was rung and
Hose Cos. 3Aand 4 and the Tuscaroras
were soon on the scene and had two
streams of water playing on the
flames.
The west or old part Of the house
was built of logs and afterward re-
modelled and weatherboarded. and the
fire eating its way up to the attic be-
tween the plastering and the weather
boarding made it very difficult to fight.
Then he old shingle roof under the
slate taking fire made it still worse.
But the firemen stuck to their work
and finally eXtinquished the blaze.
The roof is badly damaged, also the
ceilings in the parlor and bed room
above it, while the wall paper in both
is ruined and several other rooms
flooded with water. Some old furni'
ture, etc, in the west end of the gar
ret was burned, as we'll as a portion

burned through and where holes were

Before the fire had gained much
headway Mr. Harry Doll was carried

Faulkner nearby. 4
At one time it looked as though ne
of the finest homes in Martinsburg
was doomed to destruction, with the
consequent danger to nearby proper

under conrol in time to avert such
heavy loss.
