A Roll of Honor

There is little company of men in the Illinois
legislature that the Anti-Saloon League looks upon
with special pride That company because of the fight
made in the beginning of this legislature, have been
classed as Huston-Hubbard Democrats. They are of
the Bryan type of Democracy. There is not
pany of statesmen anywhere in the country that de-
serve more credit than do these At first there
were eight of them, namely, Huston, Bell Richardson
Groves, Finley, Poorman, Coleman and Hubbard
Others like these added to the list of honor until
when the legislature convened, the number four
teen. Those added Foster, Elliott, Thompson
Tucker Werts and Williamson. We do not hesitate
to say that were of the constituency of these
we would indeed be proud of their work. The fac
tona differences and party politics alone kept of
this number from being chosen speaker.
Great credit is due these To the constitu-
ency at home who worked for the election of these
men, and to these as well, express this word of
appreciation They deserve and will receive the loyal
support of their constituency Others like these
faithful in doing their part in the work of organiza
ton, but deserve greater honor than the above
mentioned, who were faithful throughout.

The Science Of Eschdtology

The science Of Eschatology, we are told, is the
doctrine of final things"
If there is such thing final thing" it is the
fact that cause will produce effect, and that the
way to get rid of the effect abolish the cause
Professor Petenkofer, the distinguished authority
on hygiene, urges that ventilation cannot get rid of
the source of the SMELL yet distribute the fumes
throughout the house. eff there is dunghl1 in a
room, it must be removed It is useless to try to blow
away the SMELL
Just with the saloon. The new idea is to re-
move the saloon-the dunghill-instead of spending
all energy in trying to elbow away the SMELL" ignor-

Just Pooling

Arthur Weldon and Albert Harwick two I'm
speakables of Columbus Ohio were fined 5000 and $50
respectively, November e. for being propretors of
speakeases. Both were piano men and rented proper
ties for speakeasy purposes. The speakeasy propre-
tors got into among themselves which led to the
prosecutions. No attempt was made to suppress the
speakeases = apparently just a grandstand play to
compel the propretors to conduct their business as
to not attract public attention These speakeasies
thrive in Columbus very much they do in most Ii
cense cities

The Royal Way to Goodness

civilized barbarans, born in the Kingdom of Loo
He was for time minister of crime for the king He
threw up his job because he progressive, and
became philosopher.
In neighboring province Honan Lao-Tse was
born and became an Archivst for his prince. He be-
came progressive threw up his job and embarked
into the philosopher business
These men were contemporaries and both reached
the zenith of their power about 600 years B. C.

Lao-Tse taught that if the heart all right that
proper behavior would follow and the result would
also be goodness.
The two philosophers met and jawed back and
forth about the matter the dooryard fence but
could not agree
They were both out for goodness" but could not
agree upon the way of getting it.
Each founded school of philosophy to propa-
gate their particular notion of the way of approach.
That twenty-five centuries ago, and the dis
ciples of each school still arguing the question
over the backyard fences And they to
agreement than Confucius and Loa-Tse. All
China is split into two philosophical camps the
matter.
There probably three persons in the United
States who would like the saloon business dis
pensed with to who really wants it continued.
They Prohibitionists, though of them don't
know it.
While they in agreement as to the principle
of Prohibition they at loggerheads about the
"way" to get it.
good way not to get it is to keep up technical
dispute about the sway"
If it is kept up with enough vim, our successors
of a thousand years hence may have forgotten all
about the issue and be found still debating in the
backyards about the way"
