PROHIBITION JOLTS l GIVEN AND TAKEN BY
 LEADER BUCHANAN
A Cochise County Worker Writes Questions and An swers On Various Phases of Temperance Movement.
(By A. R. Bucknam.)

Why has the prohibition question
 injected itself in politics?
 Because the top of the dam that vas constructed to keep it out of politics has been reached.
 Upon what was the foundation of he traffic in liquor laid?
 Ignorance, sociability, selhshness, profit and political influence.
 The question being a National one. why has it been confined to towns, counties and state?
 The different clements in it's founda- .ion prevented it from getting home (National politics. and it was com oelled to stop by the way side.
 Has local prohibition been sue cess?
 How can a National question be local success. without the co-opera- ton of the National government. But We can say truthfully that local pro Aibition has been partial success even with the disadvantages of the lack of National help. Why has Congress refused to act to prevent the destruction caused by he present traffic in liquors?
 Because of the powerful influence in it's foundation of ignorance, sociabili- v, selfishness and profit.
 What will destroy the present liquor traffic?
 hr-o .rn nnfQffEag in Congress of the advantages and dis advantages of the present traffic, and iree-for-all discussion at home through put local papers.
 Will Congress pass laws destroying he traffic?
 I think not. but through the discus sion of the question Congress will de- stroy the material the traffic uses to build it's dam higher and with mighty flood going over the dam we are certain that ignorance will be- come intelligence and the profit end of the traffic will go out and the rest If the way to the grave of the present .iouor traffic will be all down hil- VIII OOUSItSS hdNC any measures before it at this session? Yes-Two bills have been intro iuced by Congressman Charles H. Randall. of California, and consti- tutional amendment is also before them with an excellent chance ot pass ing.
 Do you think an amendment to the constitution can be passed Dy the several states? No, but to try to amend 1t will furnish an opportunity for discussion and discussion means intelligence and intelligence will influence Congress to laake such action that the present trai- ac would be lifeless and the people would see no necessity of pulling 1t into the constitution and would cease their efforts.
 What is the big job now? Publicity and organization, Tn every ! political party, to bring out the friends of the movement to put John ] Barley Corn on the slide.

was subject to dizzy spells and head

my kidneys were badly affected. I

YOUNG FOLKS CORNER
A German Legend.

Long ago. ono beautiful Sunday
morning, when church bells We're ring
ing. calling people to raise their voices
i'll prayer to God on high, an old MAJ
went out to gather sticks. lie cut
down a great many, II when he had
collected as many as he thought he
could carry he tied them up in a bun
die. which he flung ovcr his shoulder
and started for home.
On his way he met Il strange man,
very handsome and clad in fine gar
mcnts. The old faggot gatherer was
him and said: "Do you know that this
is Sunday on earth, when all must rest
from labor? DO you not hear the
church bells calling to prayer:'
But the old nan only laughed and
replied. SUNDAY on earth or Monday
in heaven. it's all the same to me-
Then bear your burden forever
more said the stranger, land as you
have no are for Sunday on earth, you
shall be Il perpetual Monday in hcav-
in the noon, Il constant warning to
Sabbath ~brcakerS.."
And so it came to pass. The
stranger disappeared. and the faggot
bearer was taken up into the moon,
and there on bright nights may sharp
eyes sec him standing with his bun
die of sticks.

Names In Samoa,

Travellers visiting Samoa are puzzled
at first by the fact that many boys
bear feminine names. while girls as
frequently have masculine names. The
visitor learns after awhile, however.
that this confusing use of names in
stead of being due to ignorance is in
reality the result Of Il native custom
which is highly poetic. Thus it, a girl
is born soon after the death of a broth
er the latter's name is given to her
i'll the belief that his spirit and all his
good qualities have been transferred
to her. On the other hand. if a boy is
born after the death of a sister he
takes the latter's name and, as the
Samoans believe, all her lovabie traits
become his.-London Mail.

Game of Moses"

The game of noses is lots of fun. In
order to play there must be six or
more children, the more the merrier.
Then divide into sides. You hang up 4
paper curtain with a hole IN it about
the size Of a child's nose. With one
side on each side of the curtain, the
first side begins taking turns to put
their noses in the hole. The other side
then tries to guess to whom the los
belongs. When n side is finished the
second side has its turn to put their
noses in the hole. The side that makes
the fewer mistakes wins the game.

short OF being persuasive or con-
vincing. But that is more the fault
of the cause Robins now espouses
than the fault of Robins himself. We
can't expect thrilling harmony when
a quartet consisting Of Murray
Crane, Boies Penrose, Reed Smoot
and Raymond Robins tune up and
sing Onward Christian Soldier
even though Hughes be the soldier.
Nevertheless, we can give Robins
credit for having the courage of his
convictions, even though they be a
new set of convictions and didn't get
on straight the first time he used
them. But he'll probably become
comfortable after he gets used to
wearing a dress suit much Of the

RAYMOND RoBlNS.-In deciding
to support Hughes and to cast his
political fortunes with the Republi-
can party, Raymond Robins did what
he had a perfect right to do. But it
isn't so important to the cause with
which Robins has hitherto been de-
voted as it is to the personal politi-
cal fortune of Robins himself. For
when a man deserts a cause he can't
take it with him. And certainly when
Crane, Penrose, Smoot, Barnes and
Perkins adopted Robins they didn't
adopt the progressive cause. They
merely killed the Progressive party
and used Roosevelt, Garfield,
Finn, Robins and other more or less
ProgressiVes as handy and efficient
tools.
The change that has come over
Robinson has been put. over him
was pitifully apparent in his public
statement declaring for Hughes as
compared with his speech as chair
man of the Progressive convention.
The convention speech was one of
the strongest and most thrilling I
ever heard in a political convention.
The Hughes statement was one of
the weakest apologies for a mans
political action 1 ever read. There
were human heart thrObs in his
speech, while the statement ran like
a gasoline engine sputtering along
on half it's cylinders. AS justifica-
