Lincoln, July 2l.-(Special.) -More
evidence, OF the inability OF the last
democratic legislature properly to
look after the interests of the state
is being shown as the time draws
near for sending out proposed
amendments to the constitution for
the edihcation of the voters.
The legislature made the appro-
priation to be used by the State
Printing board $2S,7O0, placing in
the hands of the board the authority
to contract for all printing of every
nature formerly done by the differ
ent departments themselves. 1t also
cut the appropriation for sending out
the initiative and referendum lpropo-
sitions from $1,000 to $4,000. The
labor of getting out the pamphlets
will alone run UP to over 81 900 easily,
while the postage on the same to the
25s, 1890 ovters in the state will
amount to $3.50 on a l-cent postage.
Two years ago Secretary Addison
Wait let the contract for directing
and stufing the envelopes at low
figure. The legislature then appro-
priated $4,000 for the work and it
cost about $4,000 to get them out.

DRY HARANGUES NEGROES ABOUT
 BOOZE"
Prohibition Candidate Spell binds Audience at Pasadena With Highfiown Word Combinations.
(By Review Leased Wire)

LOS ANGELES, Sept 22-J Frank Hanley, the prohibition presidential nominee told a throng of colored Emancipation Day celebrators in Pas adena today, that the Prohibition par ty would emancipate the nation from slavery to alcohol which has cursed it for fifty years.
 "As Lincoln moved to manumit your former slavery" MT Hanley said, there are those today who are moving to manumit this viler one, not yours alone, but ours as well. The battle for your former freedom. fought by white men, on shell-ploughed, car nage-cumbered fields. The battle for your new emancipation will be fought by black and white men, comrades in a common cause, at the polls.
 'It is to that great emprise l invite you. And if the sand that made you men instead of chattels were senti- ment, now it would point the way to this new freedom. And if the dead and formless dust of him who set you the way could speak, his martyred tongue would cry you on until your high endeavors, combined with ours. should bring the nation to its feet and enthrone in this good land deep and surer liberty than you or we have ev- CT known"
 Mir. Hanley in his closing speeches tonight called attention to the fact that President Wilson had not replied to a telegram the Prohibitionists sent him Wednesday night from San Fran cisco asking him if it were true. as vets here maintained, that the Presi- dent was for temperance but opposed to prohibition.
