The People to Decide.

1t is generally predicted that the
question of the Hobson amendment
Issue will again demand in the halls Of
Congress at the coming session that
the people of the nation shall be al
lowed to vote upon the question as to
whether they want national prohibi-
ton.
Never before throughout the country
have the Representatives of the liquor
interests been so sorely pressed. Every
where they are building their trenches,
| realizing for the first time that the
temperance forces are backed with
funds to carry the fight. Everywhere
they are calling for the elimination of
abuses by the retail dealers as well as
the brewers and distillers.
For ammunition the temperance
workers do not have to go farther than
the address of Secretary Hugh F. Fox
before the annual dinner of the United
States Brewers Association at the Cop
ley Plaza Hotel in Boston during the
past May.
With other statements he says:
In accordance with our constructive
policy, we have not failed to realize the
fact of certain evils, the existence of
which was responsible for the support
in certain quarters given to the prohi-
bition movement. The disregard of law
ers, the multiplication of saloons and
the forcing Of them in residence dis

Admission of Evils,

In the above statement and in other
parts Of his address, which we have not
space to quote. We have Mr.. Fox's ad-
mission that there are Objectionable prac-
tces-that the proprietor treats; that
that habitual drunkards and persons ap-
parently intoxicated are served; that
there Is often connection between saloons
and gambling and disorderly houses. and
that the trade sells to speakeasies, un-
licensed clubs and other Illicit vendors,
and he urges that all illegal practices
shall be abolished and the Illicit business
be suppressed"
But what II all these improvements
are made: It begs the question that I'M
der any and all conditions alcohol is a
poison"

Words Of Lincoln.

Certain words of Abraham Lincoln
are now being generally circulated
throughout the country, and it is well
that they should be. They are as sig
niflcant for the welfare of the people
as are his immortal words at Gettys-
burg:
Far around as human breath has
ever blown said Mr.. Lincoln, 1.-The
demon of intemperance keeps our IA
theirs, our brothers, our sons and our
friends in the chains of moral death.
ITO all the living everywhere we
cry, Come, sound the moral trump,
that those may rise and stand up an
exceedingly great army. Come from
the four winds, o Breath! and breathe
upon these slain. that they may live
IF the relative grandeur of revolu-
tions shall be estimated by the great
amount of human misery they allevi-
ate, and the small amount they infiict,
then, indeed, will this be the grandest
the world shall ever have seen. In
the temperance revolution we shall
find a. stronger bondage broken. a
viler slavery manumitted. greater
tyrant deposed: in it more of want
supplied, more disease healed, more

starving. no widows weeping. By 1t

declaring that their party must declare
for national prohibition. The same is
the case in the republican party.
Col. Henry Watterson, editor OF the
Courier-Journa1 of Louisville, KY, says
no democrat can be a prohibitionist,
but many prominent democrats of the
Blue Grass state do not agree with this
statement and come back with the re-
tort: I'VE have been regular a great

Feeling Grows That Germany Will OF.

Difference.

Washington, May 18~There is a
growing feeling that Germany will Of
fer to arbitrate the points of differ
ence between herself and this coun-
try. The events of the past three
days, coming in rapid succession, in
innate clearly that the Imperial Ger
man government is leaving no stone
unturned to create good impression
in America and to lessen the strain
existing here as much as possible.
The announcement of the with
drawal of DR.. Dernburg is the strong
est evidence of this that could be
given. If she does offer to arbitrate,
speculation in Washington is tense
relative to what course the American
government will take.
There is no question but the Amer
ican public has taken the Presidents 8
letter at it's face value. Those close
to the President say he meant just
what he said in his note to Germany.
The public has rallied behind him be-
cause the firmness of the note ex-
pressed the American consciousness
of what should be done.

Recapture of the bridge over the

age was done, except to the Bull ho-

ARBITRATION SEEMS LIKELY

Washington, May 18.-HVithout
word from Ambassador Gerard as to
the attitude of the German govern
ment toward the recent American
note, official Washington ATTACKS
much significance to the intimations in
diplomatic quarters here friendly to
Germany, that the latter country In
its reply might offer to suspend at
tacks without warning on merchant
ships, while the United States re-
newed is informal proposals for the
unrestricted passage of foodstuffs to
civilians in Germany.
1t was pointed out by well-informed
European diplomats that an offer of
arbitration or settlement by diplo-
macy of the questions at issue, would
most certainly be made by Germany,
with an agreement to abandon subma-
rine warfare while the discussion was
in progress.
Would Ship Foodstuffs.
Officials have been reticent about
discussing the idea of arbitration or
the proposal with reference to food
stuffs, but 1t was indicated that the
situation had progressed to the point
where the United States would not be
likely to be satisfied with any condi-
tional acquiescence in the American
position.
1t was intimated that if Germany
accepted the American point of view.
the natural tendency of the United
States of it's own initiative would be
strongly to press it's contention on the
right to ship foodstuffs to Germany. q
matter still under diplomatic discus
sion.
There is likelihood, too, that some
understanding might be reached
through the medium of the American
government whereby Germany could
be definitely assured that no mer-
chant ships leaving the United States
would be armed, making it possible for
submarine commanders to exercise the
right of visit and search with impun-
ity.
Whether Great Britain would con-
sent to disarm all her merchant YES
sells carrying contraband is a matter
