accuses the liquor interests OF having
defeated his ambition in his recent
United States Senatorial contest, and
his desire for revenge has driven him
into combination with Judge O'Rear,
a Republican aspirant for the Cover
norship. The joining of forces is to
make O'Rear Governor and send Beck
ham to the United States Senate.
What most interests the topers is that
O'Rear is an avowed prohibitionist,
and that his Gubernatorial canvass is
to be made on a platform of State
wide exclusion of the saloons.

that between the temperance agitators
and the saloon men themselves.
Those of the old scnool even say
that those of the new are the servitors
of the demon rum" because of the
recognition their "home-rule" policy
gives to the licensed saloons in the
places that vote to have them. The
new school devotees come back at
them with charts showing what vast
eXpanses of territory have been re-
covered from the Rum King" by the
piecemeal plan.
Some Of the staid old Prohibition
lists, on the floor of the recent National
Assembly at Atlantic City, denounced
these charts as decisions and snares
for the check-makers of the anti
saloon fold. However that may be, a
comparison of the election returns of
recent years with those of past years
discloses that in places where the
straight-out candidates polled votes by
the units the more modern local op-
ton candidates have been polling them
b. the hundreds.
Notwithstanding these reasons for
his dissent from the Statewide policy,
the advocates of the amendment sneer-
ed at Colquitt with his county option
scheme as the friend of the rum
power But he came through his poll
as Lriumphantly as they came through
theirs, Ind his domination in the
Democratic primary assured his cleo
ton. When he reached the Chair of
State, the Legislature put before him
its draft of the amendment the people
had called for. He signed the act for
next Saturdays referendum on 1t. be-
cause his people had directed it. But
the ink of his name had not been dried
before he was on the stump arguing
with all his fervor against it's ratifica-
ton at the polls.
The Methodists of the State stood
aghast when they heard him. The Gov
ernor happens to be of that faith; and
they insisted that Statewide, even
Nationwide, prohibition is part of the
church creed, and that his opposition
to it made a backslider of him. They
were for discipling him; and the move
ment for his expulsion from the fold
did take on so definite a shape that he
felt called upon to announce publicly
that he would appeal to the Interna-
ticnal Council if they carried out their
threat.
While Texas is trying to get prohibi-
ton into her State Constitution, the
State of Maine is trying to get it out
o. hers-where it has been for more
than fifty years. Its presence there
has long been an irritation to some
elements in her population, and a
growing sentiment has urged it's elm
nation. The Democrats have made its
resubmission to popular vote the pivot
al issue in all their recent campaigns,
and in each came closer and closer
to winning the State on it, Two years
ago they had reduced the fixed Re-
publican majority of 10000 to about
5000, and last year they succeeded in
planting the state in the Democratic
column.
The special point of attack in the last
campaign was the Sturgis law, which
authorized State sleuths to invade the
homes in hunts for clandestine whisky

Prohibition An Issue
This Year In Many States

When Texas voted on the question of
Constitutional prohibition at the spe-
cial election that was held in that
state the first gun was fired in a Sc
ries of sensational liquor campaigns
that are also upheaving several other
states.
Maine is to follow in September with
o crack at the prohibition clause that
has been in her primal law for more
put one in hers.
Ohio is torn by wet and dry"
strife for the control of the coming
Constitutional Convention.
Oklahoma sends out a wall against
the mo license" feature of her organic
law
Kansas liberals are preparing to
fight similar clause out of her Con-
stitution.
West Virginia is getting ready to
put on in hers.
Indiana is busy scattering municipal
GASES through the country Saharas Of
the State, and even conservative New
Jersey-"the most liberal Of all the
States" the liquor mems organ boasts
is thinking of taking Gov. Woodrow
Wilson's tip that local option is quite
a proper thing for her to enact into
law.
Texas is not a stranger to liquor eX
citement. The temperance people have
been FESTIVE there for a long time, and
of recent years a rising tide of pro-
hibition sentiment has threatened the
State with the liquor row in which she
is engaged today. A year or two ago
this sentiment became strong enough
to force the Legislature to action.
The solons did not quite know at first
what to do about it, but finally they
decided to ask the people whether
they would like to have a prohibition
constitutional amendment submitted
to them for approval. In the state pri-
maries last fall the people said they
would-by 100000 majority.
The incident that has thrown most
ginger into the campaign over the
pending amendment was the nomina-
ton, in the same primary, of Edgar
Coluuitt for the governorship on an
anti-prohibition platform. That may
seem somewhat inconsistent on the
part of the people of Texas, but 1T is
not so inconsistent as it seems. 1t is
lust the token of a little difference in
policy between two schools of saloon
fighters
Coluuitt is as good a Prohibitionist
as any of the most ardent advocates
of the pending amendment-and him
self a total abstainer. But he does not
think that State prohibition is the plan
of procedure that will most surely
make the State dry or keep it dry long
est-if it should happen to go that
way. He is rather a deyOtee OF the
instalIment method OF spreading pro
hibition, an earnest advocate of county
option, that has made big dry
patches all over the country in states
that would otherwise have been all
wet"
The line Of cleavage between Col
Quit and the other Prohibitionists OF
Texas is not local. 1t is traceable IN
the ranks of the temperance workers
all over the country There is, indeed,
a rivalry between the straightout Pro
hibitionists and those of the local op-
ton kind that is quite as bitter as
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-08-05

State has set it's face against local
option, and Governor Wilson's letter
to the State Anti-Saloon League, in
which he declares for option, may en-
ter into the controversies that his So
licitation for the support of the Jersey
delegation in the National Democratic
Convention is expected to arouse.

A few minutes later Jimmy and
Peter encountered Robert Willis at the
fork in the road. Robert had Travelled
many miles that day in order to keep
a melancholy sort of tryst with himseI
on the old Indian stone. He realized
the foolishness of his action, but he
had made the trip nevertheless. He
had a vague, unacknowledged idea
that perhaps. some Of Elizabeth S
sweet presence might have fingered at
their last meeting place.

tional tone.

he began to lead the way up the steep
path.
Robert staggered and turned white.
These rosy, hrown-skinned, freckled
little faces belonged perhaps to spirits
or brownies who were teasing him. He
tried to catch one of the boys, who
bounced on ahead, thinking Robert
was making an attempt at some game
of tag.
"Til get ahead of them" he said,
rushing past the boys with P hard set
face.
At the top of the path he turned to-
ward the Indian stone. and there in a
clearing, he saw Elizabeth, blind
folded, surrounded by many dancing,
jumping, shouting small boys, or-for
moment Roberts heart stood still

Elizabeth. for some fault of his, was
their captive.

moment Robert threw himself into
Elizabeths outstretched arms.
Five minutes later Tom, tired, warm
and little cross, walked upon the
scene.

the trees, this is nice way to treat
an obliging brother. You told me the
other path and if these youngsters
hadn't been bowling like wild Indians,

ley yet looking for you
Suddenly Tom stopped. He saw
Elizabeth, flushed and happy, and by
her side Robert Willis, also happy, still
holding the veil he had pulled from
Elizabeths bandaged eyes. The boys
stood awkardly about looking at each
other.

THAT WARD INrERvIEM.

Jimmie Ward, the aviator VINO with
a partner made a decided fizzle of the
recent aviation meet here, was quoted
in the Salina Journal a couple of weeks
ago as having said that Topeka and
Topekans were a lot of knockers who
had given him the worst of it. Excep-
lions were taken in these columns to
the justice of any such assertions by
Ward and the facts were presented to
show that, taking everything into con-
sideration, Ward and his confrere were
treated by Topekans with more .consid-
Grafton than they deserved, and that
the reputation of Topekans for boost
ing, honesty and fair dealing was such
that anything Ward might say on the
subject would have little weight.
A disclaimer that anything Ward
might have said about Topeka and To-
pekans represented the sentiments OF
the Curtiss Exhibition company Of New
York, in whose employ he is, has just
been received by the State Journal It
comes from Jerome S. Fanciulli, the
vice president and general manager of
the company. and is presented here
with pleasure, as follows:
I'VE have seen a copy of the Journal
of June II containing an editorial with
reference to some very lnwise express
sions credited to James J. Ward, an
aviator flying for this company.
I'VE do not know, Of course, how
much truth there is in this story cred
tied to the salina Journal, but we are
taking steps to find out.
IF Ward made the remarks credited
to him, he acted most unwisely and un-
fairly. We trust that the people of To-
peka will not hold such expressions, If
they were made. against the Curtiss
company.
IF it is true that Ward gave utter
ance to such wild talk, the only excuse
that can be made for him, is his youth
and inexperience."
There was no disposition on the part
of the State Journal to reflect on the
Curtiss company in it's criticism of the
remarks of one of its employees. And
if Jimmie Ward did not make the
statements credited to him at Saline
the necessary apologies are extended
to him and his employer. However,
the Kansas newspapers are not in the
habit Of misquoting strangers within
/ their gates or manufacturing inter
views with them that would be detri-
mental to any city or other part of the
state, or the whole of it. That's not

DEMOCRATS MAKE A BoBBLE.

OA-AAOOIN<A1o MAEAEl n EtOtSt3LEs
When the votes had been counted OIL
election night last fall and the Demo-
Gratis were found to have won such
sweeping victories in the congressional
elections and in several of the state
elections, there was much hrrraning
among them all over the country that
the next presidential election was al
ready theirs. They laid great stress on
the fact that New York state haa been
returned to the Democratic column af-
ter the absence of many years. And
New York. with its 36 votes in the
electoral college, is almost u pivotal
state in a presidential election.
But conditions have developed in
New York which would appear to IN
dictate that that state is not going to
stay long in the Democratic column.
It possibly would not have gotten in
that column even last year had it not
been for a desire on the part of GER
tain Republicans and Independents in
the state to register a rebuke against
Colonel Roosevelt. But the Democrats
who were placed in power in New York
at the last election have not taken adj
vantage of their opportunities to
strengthen their cause with the people.
They have done just the opposite Even
though Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall
could not elect William H. SheehaE to
the United States senate, he has abso-
Iutely dominated the activities of the
state legislature since then. It is COM
pIetely under his control. And al
though he legislature has been in ses-
sion since the first week of January
and is still grinding away, not single
reform that was promised in the last
Democratic state platform has been re-
deemed nor is there a small prospect
that any of them viii be.
According to the newspapers Gr~m all
over that state, including many of the
influential Democratic papers OF the in
dependent type. the people of the state

Gratis have conducted themselves at
Albany under direction of Murphy
They are simply itching and aching for
an election to roll around so thar they
can administer another one of their
famous rebukes to arrogant boss of
Tammay Hall. This means thai there
is an excellent prospect of New York
state getting back into the Repu5li-
can column a year from this fall when
the presidential election is on. That
being the case, the chances Of Presi-
dent Taft being reelected are Of an al
most certain variety.
