THE VANISHING SALOON

The Kansas City Star thus sum-
marizes, under the head of "A Bad
Year for Booze" the casualties"
which have attended the campaigns
of this year for the suppression of
saloons:
The current year is likely to prove
the most disastrous to liquor selling
in history.
The most sweeping attack the
business ever has had has come from
Russia, where at one stroke an
enormous sale has been wiped out,
with such good results that the
minister of finance has no word of
regret for the loss of nearly $780,
000,0 in revenue. At the same
time the necessity of temperance
has been emphasized in all the coun-
tries at war.
In America five great states have
voted out liquor-Arizona, Oregon,
Colorado, Virginia and Washington.
Altogether, when the new legisla-
ton shall have become effective,
fourteen states will be living under
absolute prohibition. The Anti
Saloon League estimates that these
fourteen states, with the other
dry" territory. make a total of
more than "a per cent of the area
of the United States from which
liquor selling has been driven.
Twenty years ago about 10000
900 persons were living in dry"
territory. Now more than 10000
900 are included in that territory.
That means more than a million and
a half persons a year for two de-
cades have been brought into regions
from which liquor is excluded.
The saloons of course, are con
centrated in large cities, in thirty
six states there are fewer saloons
than there are in New York City
alone. There are 100 fewer saloons
south of Mason and Dixons' line
than are in the city of Chicago.

DREAM MAY COME TRUE

One result of the present war may
be the realization of the dream of
centuries past-the setting up of
Palestine as an independent Jewish
state. Both Eng!a and Russia
will favor the project, says the Lon
don Globe-EngIand because a small
neutral state in the Holy Land will
be the best possible protection to
Suez and Egypt, Russia because it
will make the way easier for it to
settle certain Jewish problems with
in her own borders. Continuing the
Globe says:
The events of the moment show
how Immediately Egyptian integrity
is imperiled by the fact that a right
of way through Palestine is open to
a hostile power. Palestine must
become either British or neutral.
There is an obvious political objec-
ton to British occupation, Neu-
trality is the more desirable solu-
ton.
But if Palestine is to become
neutral, who is to govern it? Direct
ly that question is raised the claim
of the Jews forces itself upon our
attention. We have to deal with
the remarkable fact that a people
which lost its country over 1000
years ago still cherishes the mem
ory of that loss, and links its deepest
religious instincts.
Here then we have two influences
at work for the re-establishment of
a Jewish state-the British desire
for neutral Palestine and the ter
ritorial instinct of the Jews them
selves.
"All who know Russian Poland
will agree that a settlement Of the
Jewish question is essential to the
complete success Of the great scheme
to which Russia is pledged, and will
recognize that it is precisely to the
Polish Jews that the reconstruction
of the Jewish state would make the
strongest appeal

regarded as aggressively dry" by
the Anti-SaloOn League-thOse of
Missouri, Alabama and Idaho. 1t is
expected that the Missouri legisla-
ture will help the city people to keep
saloons away from their homes by
enacting a precinct option law, by
which individual precincts may vote
dry"
These results are not the outcome
of any moral wave. They are due
to two chief causes: People have
resented the attempts of the liquor
interests to control the government
and run things. And they have
found that they can't be efficient in
athletics, in business or anything
else if they booze" E"
One result of the recent elections
will be the acceleration of the move
ment for national prohibition. Chair
man Underwood last week stated,
while outlining the program Of the
majority in the house of representa-
tives for the present session, that a
vote be taken on the HObsOn resolu-
ton, if necessary, by the bringing
IN of a special rule. We may be-
lieve that but for the election results
no such consideration would have
been proposed for measure to
which the chairman had been so pro-
nouncedly unfriendIy.
The fear of the large brewing,
distilling and wine-making interests,
of the spread of the dry wave," is
shown in their tendency to cut loose
from the saloon. The Model License
League has indicated that if these
industries are to survive in the ma
ton, the saloons must go and other
means of distribution must be
sought--Arizona Republican.

The Observer, of St. Johns, Apache
county, came out in novel style in
its issue of December 5th. Running
short of the regular news paper, it
went to press on heavy wrapping
paper, on account of refusal on part
of the Herald-News, it's competitor,
so it is claimed. to help out the OBJ
server with paper to print its edi-
ton. This is the first time we ever
heard of a publisher turning down

COMMUTES SENTENCES

Governor Hunt has commuted to
life Imprisonment the sentences of
Charles Schaeffer and William Camp
bell on the ground that their trials
in the lower courts were conducted
with undue haste and that material
evidence, which would have resulted
in lighter penalties, was ruled out.
Many petitions from citizens re-
siding in the communities where the
condemned were tried, asking
for clemency, were received by the
governor. In addition, the COVER
nor received letters from the judges
who presided at the trial Of Schaef-
fer and pronounced the sentence of
death. expressing the opinion that
the sentence imposed was too severe.
In Campbell's case it was the
popular belief that he would not
have been convicted of murder in
the first degree lut for his color.
The man he killed was an ex-prize
fighter and a white SLAYER, man
who was brutal in his treatment of
the women Of the underworld. The
presiding judge would not allow
CampbelPs attorneys to introduce
evidence that showed that the kill
ing was the result of great provoca-
ton and that the man he killed had
attacked him on several occasions
with brass knuckles and loaded rub
ber hose and had severely beaten
him.
II is evident that Governor Hunt
found good reasons for committing
the sentences of Schaeffer and Camp
bell to life imprisonment and that
he was absolutely right in doing so.
Governor Hunt granted reprieves
to Eduardo Perez. N. B. Chavez
and Francisco Rodriguez in order
that the attorney general could have
sufficient time to review their cases.
In these cases the governor requests
the attorney general to give special
consideration to the fact that the
defendants. prior to the commission
Of the crimes, had INDUCED moder-
ately or excessively in alcoholic bev-
erages, also if, in the review of the
cases, there were any palliative cir
cumstarces which would command
a modification of the death penalty.
The governor referred the case of
Miguel Peralta to the Supreme
Court.
Governor Hunt has acted fair in
this matter. There will be no COM
plant of his committing the SEN
tences of Schaeffer and Campbell to
life Imprisonment, and in the other
cases it is right that all doubts be
removed as to business of the sem
tences.

Another School Election in piIesgrOve

offer OF Edward B. Riley of seven acres
for So 900 will be submitted to the voters.
The P~ilesgrove Board of Education
once thought $40, 900 all immense sum
for a school building, but investigation
led them to ask for $50, 900 which were
voted last year. The Board has since
learned on further investigation and es-
tlmatlon for future increase that that
amount will not be sufficient, SO they
have asked that 500, 900 more be voted,
making $4,000 for a school house for a
borough with a population of 1913 in
1910. Woodstown has five high school
teachers and ll5 pupils; eight grade
teachers and 275 pupils. total 10 teachers
and 800 pupils.
Penns Grove had a population of 2ll8
in 1910, and now has four high tcbool
