HOME RULE FOR PULLMAN

The resolution passed by the city
council declaring an intention to
pave the streets in the business part
of Pullman has the ring of a Declara-
ton of independence from the rule
of nonresident property owners.
This city should be governed by the
people who reside here. They are
the best judges of what improve
ments are needed. The non-residents
do not have to ploW through the mud
and dust of Pullman streets. They
simply draw good interest in the
form of rent for the buildings they
have acquired or sit back and wait
for their unimproved property to in
crease in value through the efforts
Of the people who live here. Mean
while the merchants have to endure
the damage and trouble caused by
the dust blowing off the streets in
summer and the mud tramped into
their stores in winter and their
patrons have to face the discomfort
of dust and mud in order to reach the
business houses.
The people who own property and
live here have demonstrated their
faith in the city and their willingness
to spend money in improving and
identifying it by paving the streets
in front of their homes, and have
thereby reversed the customary Sc
quence of street improvement which
usually starts in the business district
and gradually extends to the resident
districts Nonresident property own
ers should have little voice in the
affairs of any community. Their in
terest is remote and is usually con-
fined to getting out as much rent as
possible and keeping down improve
ments and taxes to a minimum. They
care nothing about the comfort and
pleasure of the people who make
their property valuable. Their atti-
tude is hard to explain for in the
final analysis the cost of all such i'm
proyements is borne not by the prop
erty owners, who get their money
back in rent. but by the residents OF
the community.

ashamed of it, can secure from the
county auditor for rs cents a license
to ship into the county for his own
use one-half gallon of intoxicants
other than beer, or twelve quarts
OF beer. This license is good
for 80 days and can be renewed at
stated periods. No one who con-
tends that it is better to drink open
ly than in secret should object to
taking out a license, as he will more
than save the cost of the fee in the
difference between the price he pays
to the wholesaler for the liquor and
the price he would pay for it to a
local saloon keeper.
No reasonable man will contend
that you can make people good by
legislation, but no fair minded man
will deny that you can save thou
sands of boys and young men from
acquiring the drinking habit, and
help thousands of others in their eff
forts to shake it off, by removing the
constant temptation presented by the
saloon and the public consumption Of
iEtoXicants. Prohibition may not en-
tirely prohibit, but it will punch the
liquor traffic in the solar plexus and
pave the way for sobriety and tenn
perance based on educated and
wholesome public sentiment.

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?

The liquor interests have already
opened their campaign against state
wide prohibition and, as was to be
expected, are emphasizing the arSu-
ment that prohibition does not pro-
hibit, or as the Tacoma New Herald
puts it, But object lessons which
carry with them undeniable evidence
of the failure of the state to eradicate
the sale and consumption of intON-
cants by the enactment of drastic leg
islation, enforce the conclusion that
Washington will make a serious mis-
take in following an example that
has been discredted in practically
every instance in which it has been
tried"
1t is true that experience has
proved that statewide prohibition
laws have not eradicated the sale
and consumption of intoXicants in
the commemorative which have en-
acted them. 1t is equally true that
laws prohibiting horse stealing have
not eradicated that crime, but does
any reasonable person contend that
horse stealing would not be much
more prevalent if there were no
laws against it?
Statewide prohibition will at the
start enormously lessen the consump-
ton OF liquor and it will continue
from year to year in a steadily in
creaslng ratio to decrease the num-
Der OF recruits to the army of hard
drinkers from which the liquor deal
ers derive their profit. This is a
very simple proposition, conyincingly
proven by the strenuous opposition
OF the manufacturers of intoxicants
10 the prohibition movement. If
prohlbitory laws have really in
creased the consumption of liquor, as
sometimes claimed, or have not
materially lessened it, the liquor
dealers would not be spending so
much time and money in fighting
Inelr enactment, for no man ever en-
gagged III the liquor business with a
higher motive than money making.
"hen they oppose a law il is be-
cause that law will interfere with
'nelr money making, and the de%toe

saage Of how badly they think the
law will hurt their business.

is YOUR BARN A HOME FOR LIVE
STOCK, OR A PRISON?

The world is beginning to realize
the cruelty and iniquity of prison
management as heretofore conduct
ed. 1t is beginning to insist that
although man is criminal, and it
is necessary for the safety of the
public that he be kept in some place
of confinement, he shall have light
and ventilation. Anything else is
preposterous.
A good many farmers, however,
have not much right to join in this
demand, because the barns or stables
are often prisons in which the live
stock, on which they depend for their
profit, are kept as though they were
| criminals and felons. This is es-
pecially true of stables for dairy
COWS; dark, unventilated, swarming
with bacteria because the farmer has
shut out the sunlight, the one great
enemy of all bacteria. The introduce
| tion of sunlight alone will not do it.
The stable must be kept clean. The
manure has no business in the stable.
Its place of business is on the land,
the only place where it is good and
not evil. Light and cleanliness are
not enough to convert the prison.
barn into a live stock home. 1t must
have ventilation also.
The early pioneers of the West felt
the cold so keenly that in construct
ing their barns and stables they made
! every provision for warmth, but
made no provision for the introduc-
ton of pure air and sunlight. Every
modern barn should be equipped with
the system generally known as the
King system, by which pure air is
distributed near the ceiling as to
make no drafts, while the bad air
is drawn out by a simple box struC-
ture which extends from the floor to
the roof. The live stock, in breath
ing, eXhale great deal of carbonic
acid gas, a by-product of the process
of digestion. 1t is heavier than air,
and for that reason falls to the bot
tom, and can escape through the out
let above mentioned.
If you have an old barn or stable,
and can not at once introduce this
system, if your cattle are to thrive
and yield you a profit, you must in
some way or other provide for letting
in air and getting it out. You must
also provide for sunlight. To feed
cattle in a dark place without sun
light, without fresh air, is simply to
throw away a considerable portion OF
your feed, as well as invite the spread
of any contagious disease, whether
tuberculosis contagious abortion, or
anything else that may in some way
find entrance into your herd Many
people are beginning 20 realize that
the COW can not thrive and be
healthy without fresh air; and the
sooner they come to full and COM
plete understanding of this, the bet
ter.

Are they homes for your live stock,
