the right to legislate away our neigh bor's personal rights and privileges, and we therefore do not believe that any other man has that right Might Prohibition does not prohibit and never will. Temperance is right, all the time. You can drive a horse to water, but you cant make him drink you can deprive a man of the oppor- tunity to buy drinks easily, but you canot keep him from taking drink when he wants one if he can get it (and he most always can) in dry" or wet" states, and no laws ever passed can do that to man.
 We are not greatly inclined in Hob- sons favor. No-it is not true that we are envious of him for his kissing record; we just haven't faith in the man, for the reason that while we do not believe him to be personally sin cere or logical in his beliefs, we know that he is more careless with statis- tics than any man should be with the truth. For instance, in his talks be- fore congress he makes the assertion that; Alcohol kills 1000 Americans a day" The year he made that state ment the United States statistics showed that 933,612 people died that year-Hobson's estimate of the deaths due to alcohol would amount to 730000 of 993,612; the United States statis- tics give as a result of alcohol 3,1S3 deaths that year -3,1S3 against Hob sons 730,000. Hobson only exceeded the truth by 726,OOO, which, however, is far enough to suit us.-Fairbanks Daily News -Miner.-Adv.

LINES TO BE REMEMBERED

Let us not forget, and let us teach
it to all, that there would be no dig
nifty in life that it would not be
worth while to live, if humiliation
were to be our lot What is it which
alleviates and which sanctifies toll,
which renders men strong. wise. pa
tient, just, at once humble and as
niring. but the perpetual vision of Il
better world, whose light shines
through the darkness of the present
life? For myself, I believe pro-
foundlv in that better world; and
after many struggles, much study
and numberless trials, this is the SUI
preme conviction of my reason as it
is the supreme consolation of my
soul.
