 LANE COMING NORTH. WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 31.- According to information which was given out today. it is the intention of Secretary of the Interior Lane to go to Seward in July to make a personal survey of the construction work on the government railroad. The secretary is expected here from the Pacific coast within a few days. and after his arrival, it is believed, President Wilson will make further announcements regarding the rail road plans of the administration.
 It is understood that 2,500 men will be put to work on the coast end of the road during the early summer There are to be three gangs employed on that section, one to work from Ship creek to Mile 152, the second from Ship creek to Kern creek to connect with the Alas ka Northern, and the third will be used in the reconstruction work con- templated along the existing rail road.
 It is considered probable that in the event. of extensive railroad building in Alaska this summer, Brig adier-General William L. Sibert will be placed in charge of the work. He was recently placed in command Of the Pacific coast artillery district.

One of the graduates OF the CO.

specialist in the field of the coun-
try church, it's problems, their solu-

United States department of agricul

Mr.. Mills has had overtures to give
his whole time to this field in the en-
ployment of the United States bureau
or education. He is already doing
very valuable service in this field in
his native state of South Carolina
The Columbia Seminary is very for
tunate in securing him to deliver a
series of lectures, during the next
year. covering this field of the coun-
try church and rural sociology.
There will be five lectures. which

the following general heads. with

third, The Country Church and Its
Problems" fourth. "The Country
Church and It's Solution OF These
Problems" and fifth, "The Country

1t is very necessary that students
should hear from specialists in this
field this whole subject treated. in
order that they NAV be prepared
"isely to serve the rural churches of

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-The In

OF the first session. He said:
Upon us rests the responsibility
of arousing the people of the United
states to the immediate necessity for
flood prevention and drainage of our
swamp lands that 100000, 900 of
annual flood loss be saved: that 90
600 deaths from malaria be prevent
ed and that SO,O0O.OOO acres of
swamp lands, 6,5OO.OOO of which are
in the West, be converted into pro
ducing farms. The sum of $500
100000 yearly would accrue in agri-
cultural products within the borders
or the United States if these lands
could be converted into producing
farms.
There is yearly death and prop
erty loss far in excess of any we ever
VIII suffer from a foreign foe. We
would add by drainage reclamation
alone a productive farm domain
greater than the states of Illinois
and Indiana combined.
This area would give homes to

THE KING Is DEAD.
Columbia Record.


The people of South Carolina have
spoken. The legal traffic in liouo,
must go. What of the unlawful
license?
prohibition means one of two
things-free liquor OF no LIQUOR a,
all. In some states prohibition is a
disgrace. Near beer saloons are de-
cidedly more odious and more
odorous than our dispensaries. And
a near drunk on near beer is said to
be as near the real thing as an old
sot could stage.
We hope, however, that South
Carolina will have no liquor at all.
That, really, would be not so much
an achievement of prohibition as a
change Of sentiment. Our people are
becoming temperate. They are tired
of the dospotism of King John of
Barley Corn.
The most powerful arraignment
of the liquor habit that has ever been
written came not from some iron
headed or brass throated reformer.
but from the pen of a man Of the
world, Samuel G. Blythe Two years
ago this Washington newspaper man
wrote an article that stuck.
He showed the utter futility of
drinking as a social pastime and de-
scribed the penalties that a young
man pays for being "a good fellow. 4"
Blythe wrote facts. and that one arti-
Gle steadied thousands of young man.
They had thought It smart to
drink wine and to travel in gay COM
pany, but Sam G. Blythe certainly
held up the mirror to life and let
convivial men see themselves and be-
come ashamed.
There is nothing to it," in the
slang of the day. A sociability that
is built up upon drinking acquain-
tance alone is as weak as Villa cur
rency in a town about to surrender
to Carranza. For the moment it may
carry things along, but when the
That is one reason for the great
majority given to prohibition. There
are many men who think that it is no
harm for others to have whiskey
but they do not care for 1t them
selves. They did not vote.
The regular crusaders were there
in full force and the burlesque cam
paign of the local option league was
grist for their mill. 1t brought out
the prohibitionists and they did vote.
The question is not who did it, or
how 1t was done. but what we are
going to do with It?
We will have statewide prohibi-
tion law. Will it mean the popular
izing of lemon extract. Jamaica
ginger and certain patent medicines
to be used as beverages? Will II
mean near-beer dives where men will
be made criminal in their decep-
tions?
The Record gave warning last win
ter that this would be a one sided
fight and one sided election because
but one proposition was submitted
and as between the dispensary and
prohibition, the people were down on
the dispensary.
But The Record wishes to go on
record as saying this-that IL our eff
forts can be of any avail, there will
be no pseudo prohibition in South
Carolina. We must have the real
thing-a drv prohibition. a law
abiding people.
Some prohihitionists who have
been so conspicuous heretofore will
learn that the fight is just starting
and it will be a fight
A governor with insufficient funds
to enforce the law must have the
help and moral backing of the people.
The Record wishes to declare it
self for the maintenance of the law
