DRY AMENDMENT EXPLAINED


 The first sentence of the dry amendment is as follows: Ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine. or intoxicat- ing liquor or liquors of whatever kind shall not be manufactured in or introduced ii to the state of Ari- zona under any pretense.'
 Not one of these terms has any thing whatever to do with hair ton ics, cosmetics. face washes or any thing else of like character because they refer simply and solely to bev- craze liquors They do not include medicines of any kind because nc medicines bear any legal definition that will come under the above terms, and no court is going to con- strue any of these terms to include medicine of any kind.
 Under this amendment Peruna Hostetter's Bitters, Wine of Cardui or any other of these preparations containing alcohol in varying quanti- ties can be sold the same as now While some people use them. as bev- erages they are not legally defined as such, and cannot be embraced in the terms of the amendment.
 The federal constitution, which gives to congress sole power to regu- late interstate commerce, prevents the enforcement of just one feature of the above law and that is con tained in the words, Introduced in- to the state of Arizona under any pretense."
 Late decisions of the courts give interstate carriers the privilege o1 delivering all kinds of liquors in dry territory, and the state law cannot interfere to prevent such delivery But, when delivered, the liquors be- come subject to the state law, and If used for illegal purpose can bt seized and destroyed, but if used fol a legal purpose the state law can not interfere.
 AS this amendment does not make it illegal to drink liquor nor illega to manufacture medicines, tinctures essences, chemicals or pharmaceuti calls, the natural conclusion is tha anyone can import all the liquor h. wishes so long as he uses it for le gal purposes, which, of course, in clude medicinal, mechanical. culi- nary, art and sacramental purposes It is idle for the liquor forces t attempt to read into this languag meaning that is not there ant mislead the people by falsifying tn facts.
 The second sentence in the amend ment is as follows: Every persol who sells, exchanges, gives, barters or disposes of any ardent spirits ale, beer, wine or intoxicating liquo of any kind, to any person in tn state of Arizona, or who manufac lures, or introduces into. or attempt 1 to introduce into the state of Ari zona any ardent spirits. ale. beer

THE NEW POSITION
 OF JAKE MILLER
One that Will Test His Linguistic
 Abilities

Jake Miller has found employment again and he has promised not to abuse his trust for he knows how easy it is to lose job and how hard it is to get one. MT. Miller. as is well known was for some time walking delegate of the coroner jurors union and he was mak- ing so lucrative a position of it that it was found advisable to hand him his resignation. Ever since then he has been importuning Colonel Johnstone and Ed Eisele to use their influence to have him re-instated.
 He finally threatened to return to Germany and join the second reserv- ists. Then Col. Johnstone and MT. Eis- ele got busy. They could not, how ever persuade the union to take MT. Miller back but they found another po- sition of equal salary, though the duties are more onerous and there is less op- portunity for grating. It is that oi transcribing Chinese testimony in dl- vorce trials before the justices court.

wine. or intoxicating liquor of any kind, shall be guilty of misde- meanOr.''
 l This language attempts to cover, and does cover, all of the possible contingencies by which the liquor l forces seek to evade the law in sell ling intoxicating liquors.
 ] Here again nothing is attempted 1 except to get after the beverage liquor traffic There is not one word that indicates any attempt whatever to prevent the sale of | medicines or the use of wine for 1 communion purposes.
 The only part of this amendment which cannot be enforced is that which is included in the words, ''Or l introduces into, or attempts to in l troduce into the state of Arizona" for this again is nullified by the federal courts and would be, of l course, imperative. This is the whole of the prohibition features of l the amendment. It will thus be seen | that to any student familiar with l the use of the English language and with legal phraseology the amend ment is very simple and direct. and that it's whole motive consists in | providing no loophole by which the | beverage liquor traffic can escape 1 the tolls of the law. Eliminating those portions of the 1 amendment which the late federal decisions render imperative, the pro- posed law would remain as follows:
 Ardent spirits, ale. beer, wine or intoxicating liquor or liquors of
 whatever kind shall not be manu- factured in Arizona. Every person who sells, exchanges, gives, barters, or disposes of any ardent spirits, ale. beer, wine, or intoxicating liquor of any kind. to any person in the state of Arizona. or who manufactures any ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine. or in toxicating liquor of any kind, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor" In reading this any person of av- craze intelligence will see that by
 no possibility could it interfere with
 medicines or with the use of wine
 for communion purposes.
 Those who framed the amendment
 and those who are now promoting
 it would not, if they could, prevent
 the use of liquor for sacramental
 purposes; and the federal law is so
 explicit that they could not do so if they would
 The liquor forces ought to be con-
 demned for their obvious effort to
 excite either race or religious preju-
 dice, and convert this prejudice to
 their own use in perpetuating a
 traffic fraught with so much of : evil
 , A traffic that has no more to sus-
 tain it than a false appeal to race } or religious prejudice ought to gC down in disaster.

 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.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.

EX I RA
TERRIBLE CALAMITY TODAY.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY TODAY.
A terrible calamity occurred at five
o'clock this evening when the $4,000
volt high tension wire of the WASH
ingtOn Water Power company leading
into the city from Lewiston came in
contact with a ground wire attached
to a huge pole that was being placed
into position on Sixth street near the
Mark p. Miller Milling company plant,
and besides causing the death of Ned
EsterbroOk, a well known drayman of
this city, also caused serious in jurieS
to Charles COmstOck of Moscow, Har-
men of Spokane. All OF the men came
on the work yesterday. The three sur
yivOrs are in hospitals suffering from
burns and pullmOter is being rushed
to Moscow tonight from Spokane in
the hopes of being of use in saving
their lives.
The crew working for the company
numbering IL or 20 men were engaged
In setting the pole. EsterbrOOk had
been engaged in hauling poles to the
city and was assisting in setting the
pole. A half dozen men were engaged
in guiding the pole into a trench that
had been dug and which had been fill
ed with water. No one can give an
accurate account of what happened
but it is presumed that the ground
wire came in contact with the $4,000
volt line. EsterbrOOk fell head first |
into the hole filled with mud and |
water, the other men falling upon him. |
A crowd cOngregated quickly and all |
the physicians and nurses nj the city
were rushed to the scene. Sam Porter
was not severely burned and regained
quickly, though the
other men remained unconscious for
an hour. All the men were carried to
n vacant lot and heroic measures taken
to survive them. Porter, COmstock
and Marquitz were hurried to hospitals
but for nearly two hours the physi-
clans worked ON EsterbrOOk without
avail and he was finally pronounced
dead by physicians. EsterbrOok, Mar
(quitz and COmst0ck were severely
burned through contact with the wires
but the opinion is expressed that Es-
was drowned having become
,hOked with mud and water. Marquitz
also was chOked with water.
Just before the last hope had been
given up for EsterbrOOk his wife ap-
peared on the scene which was most
affecting. Porter of Spokane, who has
been long in the employ of the WASH
lngtOn Water Power company, was
'aid to be unmarried. EsterbrOOk is
by a widow and three chill
Iren and COmstOck is married. Mar
luitz, also an old employee of the
company at Spokane, is said to be
married.
Officials Of the company are speed
ng to Moscow tonight from Spokane
ia special train over the Inland,
ringing the pulmOter.
Carl L. Olson, another employee of
he company, was knocked down by
he force of the shock but was unin-
ured.

FINEST LIGHTSHIP LOST

HALIFAX, N. s., May 23.-The find
ing of three corpses and fragments
of wreckage on the beach near LIP
scomb island today led to the belief
that the new Halifax lightship due
this afternoon from Paisley, Scotland,
where she was built, has been lost with
all on board.
The vessel was 1870 feet long, of
steel construction and carried crew
of between Is and 20. The theory was
that the lightship, which was the fin
est in the world, struck Lipscomb is
a wireless equipment but part of il
hadn't been installed.

escaping the electric chair and sum-

they examined a transcript of the
testimony given at the trial in the
hopes of finding, a point on which he
might base an application for another
appeal. Becker believed that his
chance of acquittal would have been
better had he taken the stand.

= NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, May 23.-
That the first full conference between
the mediatOrs and the American and
Mexican ENJOYS will be held at 6
o'clock this evening was announced
this morning. This is considered as
indicating real progress. The medi-
ators held Conversations heretofore
with the two groups of ENJOYS separ-
ately. Had not at least tentative
understanding been reached it is said
they wouldn't have been called togeth-

Under the rules adopted full con-
ferences were to be held only up
on the ENJOYS request for an oppor-
tunity to express views for presenta-
tion as a basis of settlement or for
the acceptance or rejection of such
propositions. The announcement to-
day followed conferences between the
mediators, first with the Mexicans and
then with the American ENJOYS.
