1t is most hopeful sign of the times that such

When the king of Persia sent messengers, with

Themistocles seized the interpreter and put him to
death for publishing barbarian orders in the Greek
language.
The first national Prohibition party convention
on September l. 1860, adopted the following demand
in its platform:
"a. The submission by Congress to the several
states of an amendment to the constitution prohibit
ing the manufacture, sale Importation or ransporta
ton Of alcoholic liquors for beverages"
At the national convention held at Columbus,
Ohio, July TO- 1903, the Prohibition party put the
following in its platform as the first plank:
81. The submission by Congress to the several
states Of an amendment the federal constitution
prohibiting the manufacture, sale, importation, ex
portaton or transportation Of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes"
On that platform, Eugene w. Chain
mated for president For than forty years, the
submission of such constitutional amendment has
been one Of the fundamental demands of the Prohi-
biton party
Now when the American Anti-Saloon League
and in it's wake, other temperance and re-
gious interests officially declare for the same prn-
ciple, great roar goes up from small coterie OF
Prohibition party leaders like Mr. Chain, and papers
like Patriot Phalanx of Indianapolis, Vindicator OF
Pennsylvania and few others Mr.. Chain is es-
pecialy indignant and denounces the whole proceeding
in signed statement in which he says:
"The scheme to destroy the liquor traffic by con-
stitutional provision has always been and always will
be a HUGE FARCE"
So, according to Mr.. Chain, the very thing that
has been demanded by the Prohibition party for forty
years and which was demanded by the very platform
on which he himself for president in 1908, is a
HUGE FARCE"
Mr.. Chain would seize and put to death agents
of the Anti-Saloon League who go about publishing

GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PUTS
NAME ON ANTl-AliEM LAND
..... .- DOCUMENT.

Sacramento, Cals May 20.--Califor-
MAS alien land bill became the law of
the state today against protests of
Japan and the representations of Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan. Governor johnson signed the
bill and in 80 days after adjournment
Of the legislature, the act becomes
operative.
While the governor was signing the
bill, the steamship Korea passed
through the Golden Gate bearing two
distin guished Japanese representatives
on mission of investigation.
Meanwhile, complications. both ma
tional and sectional, beset the bill.
Overshadowing it all is the outcome
of the negotiations now in progress
between this country and Japan. With
in California the act encountered triple
hostility, which may delay its activity
until November LIST, 1914. Democrats
are opposed to state legislation at this
time as matter of party regularity.
Governor Johnson said: If another
law is sought, it will be presented by
means Of the initiative and In the
meantime the present law will be in
operation"
As an expression Of opposition to
the alien land bill, Theodore Bell, late
democratic candidate for governor. Is
sued an invitation to his party to sub
nit the iss,ie to the people by invok-
ing. the referendum against the bill.
The grounds for the opposition in
the two contentious Is that the bill rs
/ insu fficiently drastic because it per-
mits leases, running three years, and
because at present it embarasses the
rational administration. Another of
the triple oppositions that Is powerful
is the Panama.Paci6c International ex-
position company backed BY many
chambers OF commerce that has placed
itself on record il opposition to the
bill on the ground that Il. Is, in viola
ton Of faith.

History Of Norwegian
independence Day

| Saturday was the Independence day
of Norway. Ninety-nine years ago, on
the 18th of May, 1914, the political
union between Norway and Denmark
which had lasted since 1897, was dis
solved. The circumstance that there
| was no heir to the throne of Norway
brought about her union with Den
mark, in 1897. A compact was enter
ed into by which each nation was to
have an equal share in the govern:
ment. But the union proved to be OF
advantage only to Denmark. The
throne as seat Of government no long
er remained in Norway. Her young
men had to 60 to foreign lands, chief:
ly Denmark and Germany, to secure
a university education, and the conse.
quence was that Norway lost her In
tellectual independence. Danish cul.
ture, the Danish language, and Danish
FORMS gradually displaced the Ian
guage and customs of Norway. Her
spiritual and intellectual life was
completely dominated and determined
by Denmark. Norwegian writer's and
students, it is true, gained eminent
distinction at the University of Copen-
hagen, bu, nothing was produced that
could be classed as Norwegian in the
same sense that the writings of Bjorn-
son and lbsen are Norwegian. Their
writings did not deal with Norwegian
life-they We're Danish Norway was
not Intellectually free. She sank into
apathy and Indifference, and it looked
like she would become so completely
merged with Denmark that her peo-
pie would lose their distinctive ma
tionality.
In the latter part of the Eighteenth
and the beginning of the Nineteenth
century, however, the national spirit
Of the Norwegian people began to as
sert itself. The founding of a Nor
wegian university was insistently de-
manded and in spite of the opposition
Of Denmark university was estab-
lished at Christiania in 1911. From
that time the development of a ma
tional spirit and a national literature
was rapid The feeling of discomfort
with the union increased and finally
in 1914, on the 18th of May, the union
was dissolved and compact was en-
tered into with Sweden. At Eds
void, near Christiania, a representa-
tive assembly of Norwegian states
men gathered to sreclare that the UNI
ION had ceased to exist. They drew
up a constitution modelled on the con-
stitution of the United States. And
when their labors had been complet-
ed they joined hands and, standing
in a circle around tho hall in which
they met, they sw0re to be united and
true to Norway until the Raare noun
tains fall. That, in brief, is why Nor
wegians celebrate the 18th of May.

one half of the building to be used
for an auto garage, the other side to
