A PROHIBITION SETBACK

(By C.. B. Strayer, in Leslie's Weekly
In the opinion of some anti-prohibi-
ton newspapers the result of the re-
cent election in Vermont heralded dis
aster to the movement, which. like a
tidal wave, has been sweeping over
large sections of this country. For
over so years Vermont had been
dry" state, but in 1903 1t threw off
prohibition and by a majority OF only
729 adopted local option. This ma
iority was so small that the Prohibl-
tionists determined to win back the
state. But at the latest trial OF
strength the local optionists were vic
toriOus with majority Of 1854. Ac-
cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
Significance connected with this cleo
ton and the positive result Of it liesl
In the fact that there was no special
effort on the part of the liquor in
terests in opposition to that OF the
Anti-Saloon League" The Enquirer
attributes the local option triumph to-
1.-The fact that the people as wholel
prefer local option" a feeling that
counties or towns should attend each
to it's own business" The dry dis
tricts,' II says, find present condi-
tions quite satisfactory" The oppo
nents OF prohibition point to the fact
that nov practically all the original
Is pro-. lion states have returned 10
the license system. The present wave
of prohibition, they claim, has not the
same relative strength as that of half
a century ago They suggest that the
failure of prohibitiOn-the prevalence
under Ii of "boot-legging" and much
drunkenness-in Maine, which is so
near TO Vermont, greatly influenced
/ the voters of the Green Mountain
State. They hint, too. that the prac-
ticalminded Vermonters considered
the fiscal side of the question. The
opponents of national prohibition ar
gued that II would abolish a business
representing a capitalization estimat
ed as high as So 900 100000 and cut
of source of government and state
revenue aggregating S325.000,0Go a yesl
"a huge tribute which would have &
be made up by taxation. Vermonter:
evidently had in mind the contribution
to the expenses of the state when they
voted for local option rather than pro
hibition This consideration has alst
influenced voters in ether states.

WILL HAVE TO MEND THEIR WAYS.

The service that southeastern Alaska has re- ceived at the hands of the Canadian transporta- tion lines this last season, has served one good turn at least: in that it forced the American lines to stand up and take notice that whole lot of traffic was being taken away from them.
 Heretofore with the American transportation companies, anything was good enough for AL aska Any old tub from the Atlantic were used, from the old Oregon cattle schooners up. Sched- ules have never been followed. Boats would come in punches with days and days between. They would carry what suited them best Perish ables. machinery, etc, have been left on the Se- attle wharves to accommodate liquor dealers, and all that Complaints have never helped much. But To. and behold the Canadian lines are in now and apparently are in to stay Now the Ameri- can lines have agents all over Alaska drumming up trade and offering apologies in the way of eX- cuses.
 Alaska is growing, and growing very rapidly and traffic is increasing in proportion. With the Grand Trunk Pacific in the field, Alaska need not depend on the American lines for service which means that instead of buying from Seattle and San Francisco, the business men can go to Chicago or any other place in the east for stock without depending on the Seattle lines for trans portation. Many have done so already and that hurts both the American land and water trans portation companies But they only have them selves to blame. They have been too slow in recognizing the importance of Alaska, and if they want the business they shall have to mend their ways

don.t. That's the trouble.

don't That's the trouble.
 Men coming from the westward bring reports of what Delegate Wickersham said at other places, which differ very materially from what he said here. He is reported to have different story for each place he visits. It might be a good thing if a law was passed providing for the recording of political speeches. If this was done the voters could not only discover the liars but could also discover if something was said at all. We have heard political speakers who talked and talked and talked; yet they never say anything. They appear to be unable to hit the mark. If such speeches were recorded, it would at least give some one something to do. The way it is now, we are forced to listen to whole lot of abberng that benefits no one.
 Between the man who has a different story for each place and the man who talks without saying anything, we need not wonder that the people take very little interest in msot of the political meetings.
