ANDREWS AND PROHIBITION

Lidgerwood Broadaxe: Reading
that part OF the resolutions passed
by the enforcement league, which met
in annual session at Grand Forks last
Friday, referring to the initiative and
referendum, is compelled to think
that the Pharisees Of Christ's time
were not unique in their ability to
strain out the gnat and swallow the
camel" At that we do not desire to be
understood to refer to the enforce
ment league as Pharisees. But we do
think, that in denouncing the initia-
tive and referendum. as being advo-
Gated by the liquor interests, they
have most assuredly strained out the
gnat and swallowed the camel.
The resolution reads this way: 1--WE
are opposed to the proposed amend
ment Of our state constitution by So
called initiative and referendum ad-
vocated by the liquor interests, on
the ground hat in effect is abolishes
the constitution and reduces. its pro-
visions to mere statutes" ...
In other words, the members Of the
enforcement league prefer to stand
pat and advance not a step towards
removing the political machine it's
power, in order to prevent the posi-
bility of having the prohibition law
repealed. And the possibility only.
1t goes without saying that The
Broadaxe favors prohibition. Its rec
ord for the past fifteen years would
quell any rising doubt on that score.
But it feels that the initiative and ref
erendum is so much more important
than prohibition to the welfare and
growth Of the state and nation, that
the comparison of gnat and camel
seems eminently fair to it.
We do not partake of the feeling of
timidity or lack of trust in the people
Of North Dakota that the enforcement
league seems to show. We are anxious
to give them the power to say directly
what they want and what they do not
want. We do not believe in sinching
them to something they do not want
merely because we happen to have the
sinch! The prohibition law at pres
emit is sinched onto them. No legisla-
ture would dare to give the voters a
chance to declare themselves on fl
not because the legislature is cow
ardly, but because the Legislators
know that their vote cast for that
would mean their political extinction.
Now, knowing that 1t would seem to
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-03-18

the prohihItionists have nothing to
fear. A majority Of the people want
prohibition. And, If they do not want
it-they should, by every right, be
given the opportunity to say so and tn
discard it. 4
It kind of makes us tired to see
these people playing directly into the
hands Of gangism, political knavery
and machine methods. because they
are afraid the people Of the state, lie
given liberty, will say they do not
want prohibition. 1t is an alliance
that does not look well TO us. II
prohibition is such a frail n weak
thing that II needs such methods to
keep 1t in existence-we are better OFT
without it. The price we pay in lfb-.
erty for It's benefits is too great. ne.
prohibition is to be a success IL must
be, only because the people of tha'
state, or a majority of them, earnestly
believe in 1t and want IL as a law. 1t
can never be anything but a mockery
If It Is kept on the statute books
against the will of the majority. In
fact-this Is the essence of tyranny.
Our forefathers fought the British be-
cause they made laws for this nation
that this nation did not want.
We need the initiative and the ref
erendum more than we need prohibi-
ton. And il prohibition is to be put
before it, and il prohibitionistss ally
ing themselves with the political ma
chine do evil that good may come
the day is not far distant when pro-
hibition will be wiped off our statute
books and out of our constitution. Not
because a majority OF the pepls really
are opposed to prohibition. but be-
cause they are opposed to tyranny and
because they oppose the methods and
the machine that aided TO keep il in
existence. In wiping out the greater.
the lesser, being inextricably entangi-.
ed with It. will be wiped out also.
There Is a necessity for some serious
thinking on the part of prohibition -
lists, at this junctuTe in the states his
tory. There must be no rabidness, no.
bigotry, no fanaticism. If the prohi-
bition law is to stand 1T can only stand.
by the will of and with the consent of
the people that made 1t. No alliance
with a political machine, no legisla-
tive tactics or intrigue can save II.
Ultimately, unless upheld by the peo-
pie Of North Dakota, 1t. will be- de-
! stroyed. There is time, yet. to save it.

RAISING POULTRY
ON THE FARM.

The general-purpose breeds Of poul-
try, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island reds, and orpingtons.
should be kept on the farm, rather
than sma1l-egg breeds or small mon
gre1 stock. 1t should also be remem-
bered that the dark-plumaged varie-
ties do no as q rule. look as well when
dressed, as poultry Of other colors.
Usually, more interest is taken with
a flock of fowls that are of the same
breed and color, and it is an establish
ed fact that such a flock produces a
more uniform product, which invaria-
bly, secures to the oysRer higher prices
than can be derived from the product
OF a mongrel flock.
AS soon as the Matching season IL
keted, they having no influence what
ever on the number OF eggs laid. and
eggs produced by fiocks composed ot
females only keep much better than
eggs from mems that are allowed to
run with males.

THE CHAPEL EXERCISES
At state Normal school This Morning,
Impressive Renditions From
Handlers Messiah.

The chapel exercises at the state nor
nal school. this morning, were design
ed to mark the closing OF the school
for the Christmas vacation, and very
appropriately 1t was amusical one and
the programme vas principally made
up of selections from HandeTs great
~oratorio, The Messiah. The members
were exceedingly VIII chosen and fol-
lowing the explanations given by j..
Harold Powers, the director of music,
the theme of the Naticity could not
have helped to have impressed the sew
eral hundred junior and senior stud
ents assembled in the auditorium.
The usual exercises We're conducted
with singing of the Christmas hymn,
penned by the revernd Bishop Phillips
Brooks, o Little Town of Bethlehem.
The scripture reading was st. Luke's
version of the Nativity.
The programme of selections from
the Messiah was opened with a brief
explanation of Handles masterpiece
and the three divisions into which it
is divided by j. Harold lowers, the
director and supervisor of music, by a
rendition of the recitative, There
Were Shepherds Abiding, BY Miss Cur
ran. The singer showed the proper
temperament for her work and an in
telligent understanding of the require
mnts of oratorio singing, Miss Cur
ran quite filed the requirements and
is a credit to the school.

work, Glory to God, by about 400 voices
was splendidly sung. The
ton was a great deal better than the
average an dthere was a proper
response to the baton. The great aria,

SITTER
MEXICAN
POLICY

Washington. d. c., Dec. 20.-The
determination of the administration
ito adopt a sitter policy toward Mexi-
co, a. disclosed in the announcement
last night of the purpose TO make
fresh representations to that gov
eminent regarding the continuation of
the rebellion, is directly attributable
for the recen return to Washington
of several persons thoroughly cogni-
zant of the alleged evil conditions ex-
listing south of the border.
First was Henry Lane Wilson,
American ambassador to Mexico,
who has been in close touch with every
one of the American consular Off
GERS in the disturbed districts and
who is personally aware of the atti-
of the Mexican government
toward a large number of American
claims, presented as a result of the
depredations committed by the rebels.
Then there have come forward the
tuted committee Of Americans rep
.resenting the large plantation and
mining interests in northern Mexico,
from personal knowledge were
able to inform the state department
of various practices employed by the
leaders to extort money from
the American managers and foremen
and of the comparative indifference
of Mexican officials to the numerous
appeals of the American interests for
protection from the raiders.
Lastly there have come matters for
the senate subcommittee in foreign
fresh from the investigation
at first hand of the border condi-
tons from California to Texas. The
of all these representa-
tions has made profound impression
on the administration. 1t has been
concluded that stronger representa-
than have heretofore been made
must be directed to the Mexico gov-
eminent if the conditions are to he
