De practically disfranchised so
far as their voice in the regula-
ton of the liquor traffic is con
cerned. Not only viii such an
abortive attempt fail so far as
the observance of the law is con
ccrned but it strikes IA blow at
the right of local Self-goyernment
which cannot help but weaken
the faith and confidence of the
average citizen in his country
and its institutions, should the
attempt succeed.
The average community, it
makes no difference where it is
in this great state of ours
whether along the prairieS of
the Iowa border or down amid
the cragS of the Ozarks-is dom
mated by God fearing men and
women-men and women who
love their homes and their coun-
try and who are slowly but
surely climbing ever upward to a
higher and nobler manhood and
womanhood-and these men and
women are best able to work out
the destiny of their own com
munity. They understand it
better than anyone else. They
know whether this or that law
can be enforced or not-and our
plea is that YOU grant to them
the same right which you de-
mand for yourSelf-the right to
work out their salvation in their
own way. If their progress
seems slow, lend them a kindly
hand Of help, Instead of beat
ing them into your way of think
ing by sheer might, show them
the error of their way by argu-
ment and kindly persuasion-for
human nature ever has and ever
will resent force.
The 76 dry counties in Missouri
would almost precipitate an in
s%urrectiOn if the wet counties and
the large cities should insist upon
voting saloons into their midst
and yet they see nothing in
consistent in their attempt to
force Prohibition into the wet
counties whether they want it or
not. What We need in this mat
ter is q little more true American
ism and a little less intolerance
and tyranny-a little more of the
Golden Rule which bids edo un.
to others as we would be done
by"
what is lava was asked of
Il great iurist who has left an
indelible impress upon the legal
history of the United States. 1T
is public sentiment crystalized'
was his brief reply-and not
since the days of the immortal
Blackstone has a sOunder de-
finition has been given. Without
public sentiment back of it no
law is worth the paper it is
written upon. Why is the pro-
hibitOry law a failure in Maine
because public sentiment in the
larger centers of population is no
behind it. Why is Oklahoma,
which adopted Statewide Prohib-
ition when it was admitted into
the Union four years ago, in the
grip Of the dive keeper and the
bOot-legger today because pub
lie sentiment in the larger towns
does not demand its enforcement.
So intolerable is the present sit
uation in the new state that the
question has been re-submitted
to the people and will be voted
upon at the coming November e.
lection. That the people will
throw off the impossible yoke of
Statewide Prohibition in favor
of local self-government on the
liquor question is well nigh a
fOregOne conclusion.

DREDGE READY TO BEGIN.
Harbor and Channel at Alexandra
to Be Improved.

The hydraulic dredge Dewey, which has
been employed in dredging in the Eastern
branch in the vicinity OF the navy yard.
was yesterday taken to Alexandria and
will shortly start the harbor improve
ments under an appropriation for the work
made at the last session Of Congress For
the past fifteen or twenty years the river
channel off Alexandria has ZEN gradually
filling from eddies caused by an old barge
that sunk at the upper end Of the harbor
in fall gale, and instead of being TWEEN
ty-two to twenty-four feet in froIt Of the
wharves is in many places not half that
depth.
About two years ago the wreck that
caused all the trouble was removed by the
United States engineers and 1t is now pro-
posed to give depth of twenty-four feet
of water at the Alexandria docks to ac-
commodate any vessel that can come up
the Potomac.
For several months past the army engi-
neers in charge of the Potomac river inn
provements have been throwing up an en-
bankment from Jones point to the ship
yard, across the cove at Battery Rogers.
and the material excavated from the har-
Dor is to be pumped into this cove. The
work will require. 1t is said. about year
to complete.

Schooner With Broken Rudder.

The two-masted river schooner Peri,
one Of the regular wood and lumber run
ncrs to this city, was brought into port
last night by the tug Capt. Toby with =
broken rudder and was docked to un-
load her cargo. The accident to the ves-
sci occurred off Marshall Hall a week
ago in one Of the hard northwest blows
Of the latter part of last month, and she
has been lying at anchor off Marshall
Hall since she was disabled. The vessel
is owned by Capt Wesley Knight OF Stat
ford county. Va, and 1t is expected she
will be towed back to Aqua creek to be-
fitted with new steering apparatus. II Is
probable that the Peri will not return To
service again until some time in the COM
ing spring.
