THE SAL0ONKEEPER IS
ORIGINAL STATE.WlDER
And Local Optionist When II Comes
To Prohibition

And Local Optionist When II Comes
To Prohibition
The following article from the
pen Of DR.. ]. H. Light appeared re-
Gently in the Anti-Saloon organ OF
the State, The Virginia Issue:
The saloonkeeper Is the original
State-wider. He claims and exer-
cises Statewide privilege. He is q
local optionist when IL comes to
prohibition. He is a State wider
when it comes to selling liquor.
The citizen OF Virginia must con-
fine his vote and influence to the
magisterial district in which he
lives or to his Incorporated town
or city. He has not the right
OF county option. He dare not say
what shall go on, with reference to
liquor in his county. II he so much
as suggest the privilege OF voting
by county or State, Immediately a
cry goes up to heaven about the
intolerance Ct the temperance man.
But the liquor man claims the
entir State as his field. He eknows
no limit to his operations. BY the
exercise of the mail-order pri vilege
he does buiness all over the State.
Wet and dry" are both alike to
him. Legislators may legislate, and
voters may vote, but he does bus
mess regardless. Men may come
and men may go. but he goes on for
ever.
The soloon keeper is an ardent
local-optionist. He has reason.
Local-option interferes somewhat
with his business. 1t closes the
open saloon. In so far it does good.
But the saloon man would by far
rather have local-option that State
wide. A half loaf is better than no
bread.
Local-option is a gold mine
worked out. 1t has been q gold
mine TO Virginia. 1t has yielded
untold treasure to the State. Its
gold is in daily circulation and is
OF untold value to the State. But
the lead is out. and We can get,
practically, no further treasure
from 1t.
The reason is apparent. We have
driven the saloon out OF three fourths
OF our State. We are enjoying the
benefits OF that great revolution in
our institutions. But we have
driven the business into the other
one-iourth, where it is concentrated
and vastly strengthened. The re-
suit is two-fold: We have made it
practically impossible for the people
in those liquor congested territories
to deliver themselves from the
traffic. If they are ever free it will
be and must be by the help OF the
people all over the State, in a State
widecontest.
Second, by concentrating the bug
mess in few centers, we have
made them strong enough to strike
back at the dry territory. All our
dry sections are subject to the
continual invasion of the mail-order
house doing business in the liquor
centers. Nothing is so bad as the
open saloon or the open dispensary.
But the invasion OF our dry terri
tory bv the liquor business through
the mails and express companies,
makes a problem that cannot be
solved by mere local action. The
only hope OF Virgfnia-those Sec
tons already under prohibition, as
well as strong centers of the trade

SOUVENIRS OF
WESTERN TRIP

SPOKANE, Oct. 10.-President Tai
has among the souvenirs of his west
ern trip cane cut from stump
which scientists declare was a ire
before the glacial period The Woo
was found in the valley of the soutl
fork of the Old Man river in the south
ern part of the province of Alberta by
Professor w. S. Foster, a geologis
and explorer, living in Spokane. This
cane, which is valued at $4,000 was
presented by Edwin T. Conan, presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce, on
behalf of the people or Spokane.
1.-THE stump. which stood in a peat
bed, was found beneath 60 feet of
glacial wash" said Professor Foster,
Igiving a history of the discovery, "and
preserved to the present day by one
of the wonderful freaks of nature The
Ipeat, from which the stump was
taken, is on a sandstone formation
and is about three feet in thickness.
Seaweeds and flag-stocks found near
by also were well preserved
"This peat bed was uncovered by
the wearing away OF the glacial wash
by floods and the flow of the Old Man
river. There is not the least question
in my mind that the tree grew before
the glacial period, more than 100000
years ago, but so far l have not been
able to ascertain the kind of wood it
is.
"The discovery was made not long
ago in the Frank district, which is $50
miles north of Spokane and fully 400
miles east of the Pacific ocean The
presence Of well-preserved seaweed
and fag-stock in abundance, buried
under so feet of glacial deposit, ap-
pears to be sufficient proof of it's anti
guilty, though | have much other evil
1ence of scientific character to bear
out all of my assertions.
More than that, l. am prepared to
satisfy any one posted on such things
by showing them the stump from |
which the wood was cut, also the |
formation in which the discovery was
made"

young farmer, who was interested with
Charles OFT in quarter section of
rich land, had apparently been wash

in his bachelor quarters, and had
thrown the remaining food to his pets.
Knives and forks used during the
meal were found in the dishwater,
while the dishes had been neatly
wiped and placed on the shelves. The

NEED MORE SCHOOL ROOM
=NEW TEACHER, TOO

The rapid growth of Moscow's
schools and their congested condition
made it necessary for the school board
last evening to. decide upon the en-
plOyment of a new teacher for the
grades, and as soon as a suitable To-
cation can be secured new school
will be opened temporarily in some
building around town.
According to the reports read at
last nights meeting there are now
$50 pupils enrolled in the Moscow
schools. The high school has an en-
rollment of 100.
Although the board last evening met
with Architect Hubbell of Spokane,
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1911-10-10

and discussed with him his tentative
lplans for the new high school building
there were no definite steps taken in
regard either to the building or the
Isite. The board does not feel the
need of such hurry as would prevent
mature consideration of the site, since
the properties in view are held under
"a six months option, and there can be
but little done until the disposal of
the school bonds next November.
There were many matters of routine
business before the board last eve
ming, the chief of which was the al
lowing Of the regular monthly list of
claims.
