From that moment Richard Har-

spoke of his discovery to nobody, not
even to his daughter, but methodical-

house in order.
Poor Fay grieved over the dull, re-
signed look that had come into her
fathers face. His confidential man,
Ross Dalrymple, noted with regret
his lack of interest in the business
and mistakes of judgment that were
costing the house dear.

At that very hour, though he did

been lovers for several weeks and
now had come the parting for a few
months, at least.

slant dread that he is going to die!'

Perhaps the good reports 1 antici-
pate will cheer him up"
But although within a month the
application and efficiency of Ross
gave to the business new life and
grand record of profit, at the end of
two months Richard Harper returned
worse off physically and mentally
than ever. His fears were sapping
his vitality and he took little interest
in anything now.
One evening some relatives with
small children visited the Harper
home and Mr. Harper could not help
but notice the little ones. AS he re-

The liquor forces are routed now. They know they are whipped to a frazzle. They are afraid to come out into the open. Not one of them has the courage to defend the infamous business. Their sole hope lies in administering an opiate that will put the forces of reform to sleep on election day. They are building their hopes on the votes Of women. the

 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space. name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.

PROHIBITION AND PIGS

Liquor advocates and some others profess to fear the triumph of illegal | traffic in case of prohibition They are 1 in mortal fear of the blind pig. They dread the speak easy. On one of these points we can sharetheir feals. ! In the first place nothing could ope- rate more in defiance of law than the saloon itself It is the universal law | breaker It is in direct, open and shameful alliance everywhere with all l the laWless elements of society. It lur- nishes them a rendezvous where they can plot their crimes. It is their social club" The blind pig. by reason of it's being such. is more quiet. more con- 1 cealed, more careful
 But the fact is that prohibition is not in any sense responsible for the blind pig" The blind pig is merely another breaking-out. another mani festation of the poisoning virus of the liquor business Liquor is wholly re- sponsible for the blind pig. Not one could exist for a minute on prohibi- ton. The blind pig gets it's supply from the brewer and the distiller, the men higher up in the illegal saloon l traffic. This supply comes in defiance Of the law from a source that always 1 defies the law.
 Chicago is a wide-open city. The license system has reached it's climax there Regulation" is at home all the time Chicago has more than 5000 licensed saloons, and vet it has more i blind pigs and ''speak-easy joints than can be found in the entire nine states under prohibition,
 When it comes to comparison of the blind pig with the open saloon the iquestion is all one-sided. While both are off-shoots of the same infamous traffic. the saloon kills it's thousands where the blind pig kills it's dozens The saloon stands brazenly on every corner and blows its vile breath in the face of every passer-by. catches them by the lapel of the coat and pulls them in to buy. The blind pig is in some inaccessible. out -the-way place where it is hard to find In other words while the blind pig must be found, the saloon finds you.
 While there is no argument for the existence of either, the blind pig does not suffer by comparison. It is the lesser of two gigantic evils. Neither is at all necessary. Both are outlaws from moral standpoint. The saloon gives nothing in the way of return for investment, while the blind pig gives no more. The blind pig however. does not charge as much for the nothing.
 Blind pigs always come where there are blind officers. They are object les sons of official malfeasance. They are a sign that the recall is badly needed Where the recall is invoked there is no danger whatever fro mblind pigs. Ari- Zona hats the recall of all officials. in- cludng judges on the bench and no one need fear the absolute triumph of law in case the constitutional amend ment carries this fall Importation is forbidden in the amendment itself. and also in the federal law relating to the shipment of liquor into dry territory and the brewer or distiler who at tempts his usual lawlessness in Arizona will meet with prompt and effective disaster

The increase of taxes may be all

WHY NOT THE LITERACY TEST?


tempest of early memory.
1t is an interesting thing to note
that Massachusetts, the most con-
sentative of the New England States"
we are assured, has absolutely re-
fused to permit the insertion of a
restrictive immigration statute on
her books
Naturally-the question of cheap
labor is one the New England Yam
kee is particularly interested in, and
the ignorant foreigner (the more fg-
norant the better) is just the mate
rial Massachusetts needs, and well
comes for the cheap labor in her
mills
An earnest study of the immigra-
tion statistics will show some very
interesting facts.
The following clipping taken from
the Jewish immigration Bulletin,
will be of more than passing inter
est. The Bulletin objects strongly
to the literacy test being made the
basis for Jewish immigrants who de-
sire to make their homes in this
country-to become citizens, and to
benefit by all that means ultimately,
wealth and power Says the Bulle-
tin, in part:
''Illiteracy is only a temporary
handicap. Any alien can in short
time become 1iterate. The public
school system, the evening classes,
the newspapers, the general life in
this country is stimulative of literacy
That illiterate immigrants take adj
vantage of these opportunities is
shown by the statistics of attendance
at evening schools. There are thous-
ands Of aliens who at once learn how
to read and write when they are
settled here.
THE children of i1Mterates are
never illiterate. Who fill our even

New York, our High Schools, our col
1eges? Children of aliens They are
the rock upon which our progress,
our inventiveness, our general eff
cheney are based. They are the
leaders Of this country. They have
in themselves that love of democracy,
of American institutions, which in
the children of the native-born is
faced and colorless. They bring to
their devotion to American ideals an
enthusiasm which is the best augury
of the future stability of this coun-
try

you read that, you may try to ans
Wer this question: if this country
can afford to keep night schools, the
best of public schools and colleges

who have left their own country,
where they were not able to get this

which it takes more than two gene
