orous search is being made in scarbor-

terious fiashlight signaling seen Tuesday
night before the bombardment by the

their FIRE on the town by spies who sig
nailed the position OF the railroad station
and other buildings on which the shell
firs eentered.
The damage done here Is estimated at
100000 Most Of the dead and wounded
are believed TO have been accounted for.

LIQUOR ALWAYS A uoLAToR.

l have given reasonably careful
study to the problems of liquor in all
the states for many years, and my OBJ
servation conyinces me that the
liquor business always violates the
law that governs 1t, no matter how
liberal the law may be; and always
goes beyond the limit that the law
permits; and that whenever a strict
er law is. passed to check its crimes
the law does good.
The real philosophy and reason for
the prohibition movement lies in the
fact that the liquor dealer is nearly
always a law-breaker, his calling the
sure aid always of public privilege
and wrong, the sure dependence al
ways of the tyrant, and that it makes
always for anarchy and crime. In all
the records of history the wine shop
and the tavern have been the rem
devious OF criminals and the recruit
ing ground where tyranny and public
privilege have found the henchmen
they would employ to fasten their
evil power on the masses of the peo-
pie, or do the criminal and brutal
things that always serve to repress
the noble aspirations OF the toiling
masses.-Hon. Hooper Alexander of

SALOONS MAKE WOMEN LABOR

Rather a grim bit of evidence con-
corning liquor selling is furnished by a
manufacturer. Seeking in a certain
peighborhood for a new situation for
lis plant, he announced at the start
that he would consider only those
towns that license the sale OF liquor,
and would pledge themselves TO con-
unue to do so. The reason he gave
is that In no-license communities he
has found it impossible to get the nee
essary women and girl laborers. In
such communities women do not have
to go out to work.-Exchange

measure reduces the class from which

Because the saloonkeeper lives and

payer each year is compelled to pay
exorbitant taxes to meet the expenses
OF police courts, criminal courts, poor

And because the American voter on
election day says, Let the traffic be
