The cossack, Melton Galebsky, has
returned to this city with a hole in his
leg. When trying to cut Off some
Germans in a Kowel marsh he him

we know that the higher taxation will be
red danger signal to settlers and investors to
keep away from here. Do you not realize
that this additional burden may be the last
straw that will cause many small home
owners to lose their little homes before the
return of better times? If prohibitionists
must try the plan of attempting to make men
temperate by act of the legislature, why
couldn't they have chosen a better time?
They could not have chosen a worse one.
You delude yourselves when you speak of
the moral and economic gain" from prohi-
bition. Statutes cannot create morals. That
is a question of character.
A neighbor of yours and ours, man
whom we all hold in the highest respect, has
recently returned from Tulsa, little city
in the prohibition state of Oklahoma, and he
says that there is more visible drunkenness
in the streets Of that city than in this great
seaport city of Seattle. AS he entered the
state an officer came on the train and
searched his hand baggage to see if he had
bottle or a flask of liquor. And this in
country whose founders valued their privacy
and personal liberty so highly that they put
a provision in the federal constitution forbid
ding unreasonable searches and seizures.
But evidently times have changed and re-
straints occupy peoples minds now to the
exclusion of any regard for personal liberty.
That, like other precious possessions, is not
valued until it is lost

Sunday, the LIST of November, 1914.
Messrs. c. J. Erickson, F. w. West, l.. J.
Colman, Jas. B. Eagleson and c. II.
Black:
Dear Friends: My attention has just
been called to your communication in the
Post-Intelligencer of this morning answering
a circular issued by Messrs. Lowman, Brod-
erick, Douglas, Horton and myself. You
certainly have misread the circulars in ques-
ton if you gathered from them that our OPP
position to the pending prohibition measure
is based solely on economical grounds. We
oppose it both from a moral and economical
standpoint. We believe that the history of
prohibitory liquor laws in this country con-
clusively proves their signal failure mea-
sures for the promotion of temperance. An
act of the legislature cannot make men tenn
perate any more than it can make them hon.
est That these laws lead to deceit, lying
and hypocrisy is clear to us, both from our
observation of their effects in prohibition
communities where some of us have lived,
and from a study of their history in other
communities. The Dow law, in our opinion,
has been more largely responsible than any
other circumstance event in our history
for the disrespect and contempt of law
which, to our great discredit and shame be it
said, is so prevalent in this country. The
habit of violating the law is infectious and
grows upon people, spreading from law to
law until all law is brought into contempt.
Turning to the economic side of the ques-
ton you seem to think that the figures given

Suppose, to provide against the possible
ity of error, you reduce these figures by 10
per cent, the loss of direct revenue to the
state is still SO large that to cut it off in the
vain hope of securing a moral condition
which prohibition never yet has brought
about, and never will until human nature
changes, is, it seems to us, inexcusable at a
time when the people are groaning under a
weight of taxation beyond anything they
were ever before called upon to bear.
There are $500 men employed in the
business and there are over 10000 depend
ent for their support upon it. The number
of unemployed in this state is now alarming
ly great, and will be still larger before the
winter is over. Throw out the employees
now working for the breweries and liquor
interests and where will they find work and
their dependents get support? Have the
prohibitionists made any provision for get
ting them employment? Do you think that
the higher taxation which the loss of this
revenue will cause will bring in new cap
ital or new industries? No. You are too
good business men to think that. You and

CASE WILL De APPEALED TO
HIGHEST COURT

Where a statute stands on the
books of the state without repeal, 1t
must govern in all cases affected by
it, and regardless Of the apparent in
Justice Of its provisions or the fact
that it has been almost universally
disregarded and seldom brought into
service, caes started under its provi.
sions must be tried until the statute
Is declared unconstitutional by high
er court. This in substance Is the
gist of q verdict brought by the
jury in the case Of Rowland and Earl
Hill vs.. the Union Pacific Railroad
company for damages for the death
Of q steer caused by train belonging
to that company.
The Hill brothers brought suit for
500 damages, the proven value of the
steer killed, and also for 5000 addi-
tional damages, because Of the failure
of the railroad company to comply
with the provisions Of an old statute
which requires the company to skin
an animal killed by the train, pre-
serve the hide for certain period OF
time, mark 1t plainly with a shipping
tag. giving color. kind. weight and
age Of the animal, together with the
brand and the cause of death, which
record must be preserved in the Office
Of the company.
The case was tried some weeks ago
before Justice Ira Sides and a yer.
dict for 500, the price of the steer,
and the double damage of $500 as
provided in this old statute was rem.
dered. The company appealed to the
county court, where jury Friday re-
turned verdict sustaining the deci.
sion Of the lower court. The attor.
neys for the company at once gave
notice of appeal, declaring they will
carry 1t to the highest court in the
land, in an effort to have this old
statute annulled or declared uncon.
stitutional.

Evans, Oct 24-Carrying Is people
who play. sing and talk. and three
others who go as guards to protect
the property Of the company from
the attacks Of vandals who disagree
with them on the liquor question.
''The Flying Squadron" Of this place
have been able to preserve all auto
mobiles and other rigs in which they
travel intact for the past 10 days.
When this company Of earnest
temperance workers started out this
fall In their whirlwind campaign for
q dry Colorado. they went in automo-
biles and buggies, not suspecting any
thing would happen to cause trouble.
At the irst two or three meetings,
auto tires became accidentally (D
punctured, harness unbuckled, taps
lost from the buggies and other sim
liar happenings Of annoying and ex-
pensive nature. Finally 1t dawned
upon the leaders that all these were
not mere accidents but had been COM
mitted purposely and with malice
aforethought
Since coming to that conclusion,
extra people have accompanied the
workers on all their trips and been
left outside the building In which
meetings are held, to guard the prop
erty, and since that time. not bit
of damage has been done to autos,
buggies or harness.

will commemorate the victory on
Lake Erie of Commodore Perry over

have been permitted to 60 to the top
of the monument, which towers 365

above the ground at its base. pro-
nounce the construction of the shaft

shaft slopes very gradually inward.
until, at the top, it is only SO feet in
diameter.
Just IL feet from the extreme top
of the huge pile has been built an

This balcony is constructed of great

Of the shaft, lead to the abicus. Ele-
