The Mobile lodge of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union is out after the
scalps of Mayor Pat ]. Lyons and Sheriff
John 8. Drago. In signed communica-
ton addressed to the press the Woman's
Christian Temperance union in a set of
resolutions adopted by them charge that
the executive officers of Mobile city
and county possess knowledge of open
and continuous violations of the prohibit
ton laws of Alabama, which laws they
say. the officers have taken a solemn
oath to enforce. and demand reasons for
notorious ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the law
The resolutions demand that If the mayor
and sheriff of Mobile city and county
are unable to enforce the law, I'VE most
ask that you acknowledge
your incapacity and resign the office. SO
that the law may be enforced by COM
petent men,
The resolutions follow petition ask
ing the mayor and sheriff to give an early
and candid answer what the women are
to expect from you protectors of our
homes from the vicious blind tigers which
infest our city In great number"
The statement of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union of Mobile is the
strongest document ever issued in this
city appertainlng TO this subject. The
women are grievously disappointed over
the failure of the prohibition laws passed
by the Conner legislature and since re-
pudiated by the peoples ballot
The law in Mobile is very unpopular,
citizens who are total abstainers argue
that this is a seaport city and prohibit
ton means disaster to the shipping inter-
ests For this reason 1t is argued that
while prohibition may be the very thing
for interior towns and cities 1t is a mill
stone around the neck of progression In
Mobile.

WATERWAY POLICY IS ITS AIM
NATIONAL RIVERS AND HARsORS
CONGRESS CONVENES.
President Taft Delivers Opening Ad
dress and Many Other Prominent
Men on the Program.

Washington, Dec. THE opening
of the National River and Harbors
Congress in the auditorium Of the
Hotel Willard today marked an event
second in importance only to the con
vening of the federal congress. An
endorsement of President Taft's
avowed intention to do away with the
pork barrel" appropriations OF the
federal congress, by rivers and har'
bo1s organizations, VIII bring pres
sure to bear which will tend toward
successful legislation in this direc-
ton, and, it is confidently stated, will
bring about, through the betternent
of the nations waterways, decrease III
freight rates which Will have direct
effect upon the cost of living
When President Joseph e. Ransdell
called the convention to order several
thousand delegates and visitors were
on hand, and it was evident that the
meeting was 70 be great success at
least in point Of attendance and inter
est. Mr.. Ransdell in his opening re
marks set forth the main points in
the waterway policy which the organ
iZation is working to have put into
effect, as follows:
THAT no waterway Improvement
shall be entered upon by the govern,
ment which has not the unqualified
approval of the United States engi
naer corps.
That projects now under construc
ton should be pushed to completion
as rapidly as men and money can
accomplish this; preference being
given to such Improvements as from
their nature will be of little use until
completed and which, in any event
will fit into any greater and more eX
tensive plan that may hereafter be
adopted.
THAT if the funds necessary for
this purpose cannot be provided toI
out of current revenues of the govern
mert, bonds should be issued just as
was and is being done with the Pan
ANA Canal
The first formal address on the pro-
gram was delivered by President
Taft, who spoke at length on what ne
believed the nation should do to i'm
prove the countrys waterways. 9th

The Municipal Year.


In its ruling on a license case that
there is nothing in the law to prevent
the city authorities from making the
municipal year with reference to the
term of licenses to sell liquor corre-
spond with the municipal year for
other fiscal purposes the supreme
court makes possible the standardiz-
ing of certain features of our city gov
eminent and suggests other changes to
simplify still further our admins
trating machinery. While the point
at issue in this case was whether
License holders should pay an extra
$1,000 for four months license be-
cause of the change in the law making
our Omaha Police board elective in
stead of appointive, it is of wider
scope than that in its ultimate effects.
The city and county now have their
municipal years corresponding with
the calendar year, but the school
board still holds to an obsolete fiscal
year running from June to June. 1t
is this overlapping of the school
boards year with the calendar year
and fiscal year of the city and county
that has made our school board
finances inexplicable. 1t would be
highly advantageous to have the fiscal
year the same for all our agencies of
local government.
This brings up another annoying
discrepancy which should be remedied,
namely, the diversity of the tax years
which we must now submit to. Our
city taxes are payable and delinquent
at one time, our county personal taxes
at different time and our county real
estate taxes at still another time, pro-
ducing utmost confusion to the taxpay-
ers and entailing unnecessary expense
on city and county and also on the in
dividual taxpayer. There Is no good
reason why our various tax levies
should not be consolidated so that one
tax bill may be rendered for the whole
amount due each year, even though
they may be payable in semi-annual
installments. Here is an opportunity
for some constructive work by our
| financiers.

The resolution looking toward neu-
trality Of the canal introduced in the
house by Representative Keifer of
Ohio seems to have every prospect of
adoption as it should have. 1t seems
to meet the favor of the minority
leader. Champ Clark and that of Mr..
Tawney, a stalwart republican chair
man of the appropriation committee
and of the president, 30 that its sue
cess should be assured.
Such a resolution is essentially a
measure in the interest of peace and
commerce. II would be a sheer waste
of money and denial of our boasted
policy for international peace to avoid
treaty arrangements with other coun-
tries that would make it necessary for
us to fortify the Panama with forts
and battleships. We might thus have
to spend more money to make the
canal safe from attack without the
presence of men-of-war.
At present only the United States
and Great Britain are obligated to
observe neutrality on the canal, just
as they are on the Great Lakes, but
under the terms of this resolution
treaties would be negotiated with the
other powers by which they too would
subscribe to similar pledges. The pur-
pose is to establish system Of reg
ulation such as governs the Suez canal,
toward which all the nations are
neutral. Such an arrangement will
make it incumbent on the United
States to do no more than provide
adequate police patrol for the canal
and the American property rights on
each side of the canal will not be
jeopardized, either.

No Banking Monopoly.

In an address to a group meeting OF
bankers at Hastings Governor Shallen-
berger is reported to have advocated
limiting the number of banks that
may be chartered to do business in Ne
braska, his professed purpose being to
prevent mushroom growth. An abso-
Lutte limit on the number Of banks to
be chartered would, of course, be CIV
ing those banks already chartered a
legal monopoly which would be q
practical monopoly If the state were
the only authority that could issue
bank charters. 1t happens that the
state is not the only authority with
power to charter banks, so that the
monopoly could not be effective unless
limit were also placed on the num-
Der of national banks to be chartered
in each state by consent of the comp
troller of the currency. But II the
policy of monopoly were the right one
for each state it would be equally de-
sirable for the national banks, and
would lead eventually to complete
banking monopoly.
1t is hardly necessary to intimate
that the people will not take kindly to
Governor Shallenberger's new scheme
If this is what it means. Applications
for bank charters in Nebraska are now
passed on by the State Banking board,
and this board should have, and
doubtless has, authority to refuse a
charter for any good reason support
ing presumption that the bank would
be dangerous to the community, But
there can be, and should be, no arbi-
trary discrimination or personal pref
erence, but rather absolute equality
before the law for all who comply in
good faith with it's provisions.
Nebraska is not ready for bank
monopoly, and tae wonder is that the
idea should have had to wait to be
fostered by a governor elected as a
democrat on a platform Illuminating
against all special privilege.

house, even while they must be kept
at all,
Flies, of course, should be kept out
Of the house, and especially out of a
sick room. They Will bring disease
into the house on their feet and also
carry it out II they get into room
where a person lies i'll. One way to
keep flies out of the house is to keep
food and milk and everything else that
may attract them covered. But If the
fly gets in the house he may be sue
cessfully combatted in his course of
mischief. If you cannot hit him with
sufficient force and accuracy every
time to cause death, try a 8 to per
cent solution Of formaldehyde with
a little sugar and place it where you
think the fly will be most likely to
light.

pnpilism in Politics and reelection

Pug11Sm IN EOlClCS anu Religion.
Business, politics and religion are
now involved in the Jeffries-Johnson
fight to say nothing of sport and are
bound to be important elements, no
matter which man wins. The pugi-
listic aspect has long been over
Swallowed by the commercial and now
it still further into the background.
To begin with fortune is put up
in the stakes and many fortunes are
comprehended in the revenue expected
from the moving picture show, which
is by far the biggest feature in the
whole extravaganza. These moving
pictures are counted on to draw i'm
mensely at the box office and institute
the commercial asset of the fight
Even the religious forces which are at
tempting to prevent the fight recognize
this fact and are centering their op-
position on it, more really, than on
the fact that a prize fight is to be held
in California. And in their disgust
they have struck a responsive chord
among most people.
If the governor of California and
other law officers think they are going
to escape, the day of reckoning as the
penalty for refusing to interfere with
the big fight they are probably reckon
ing without their host. They are
threatened with opposition from the
church forces when they come up mex
time for election, for taking the posi-
ton that they are powerless to inter
fere. So we need not be surprised t.
have the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight
moving picture show-enterprise figur,
as the paramount issue in California
politics state election.

to kiss anybody, and, II the other person
sees them first, will have no difficulty in
keeping 1t.
Mrs. Taft has become a member of the
Washington Humane society. She sent in
her application a few days ago. Mrs.
Taft has always taken a great interest in
the work done by the humane society in
Cincinnati.
A farmer in North Dakota, who has re-
sided in that state seven years, admitted
under oath that he did not know the name
Of the president Of the United States. 1t
Is scarcely necessary to add that he was
accepted as a juror.
Miss Blanche Stuart Scott has started
from New York for her cross-country au-
tomobile tour to San Francisco, running
her own machine without chauffeur. Miss
Stewart lives in Rochester, N. Y, and says
that the distinguishing feature of her tour
will be that 1t will be an entirely "manless
affair.
The list of aspirahts for the republican
nomination for governor Of Wisconsin now
includes: Lieutenant Governor John
Strange, Captain William NJ Lewis Of
Racine, Francis e. McGovern, leading
