THE ON BOILING WAVE
OF PROHIBITION

In commenting on the result Of
the election in extending the prohi-
bition territory, the New York
World says:
Michigan is row added to the
growing list of prohibition states.
Further West, South Dakota and
Nebraska have aligned themselves
with North Dakota in barring the
sale of liquor. Florida. profting by
the example of its neighbor, Geor-
gia, which had previously imposed
the rule of self-denial upon its
people, has elected a Prohibition
Governor.
"The South has been so widely
converted to prohibition for rea-
sons peculiar to itself that Florida
has stood out as a notable excep-
ton. Michigan was under no such
sectional influences. OF its own
accord it has broken away from To-
cal option and decided to create a
new large area of dry territory,
with a population of nearly 3,000,-
600 South Dakota, joined 10
North Dakota, means another
. 100000 in the North voluntarily
under prohibition as a principle of
state government.
"At this rate the Prohibitionists
as a national party are rapidly los
ing their cepted the one doctrine
for which the prohibitionists have
steadfastly fought in the face Of
the ridicule and indifference of the
country as whole to their claims
to special attention. From Maine
to Oregon and from Michigan to
Mississippi prohibition has won
solely as local issue. 1t will con-
tinue to win as long as saloon keep
ers habitually violate and defy the
law"
The meat of this editorial is in
the last paragraph, "from Maine to
Oregon and from Michigan to Mis-
sissippi, prohibition has won solely
as local issue. 1t will continue to
win as long as saloon keepers ha-
bitually violate and defy the law"
In addition to the violation and de-
fiance of the law, which has added
the greatest impetus to the move
ment for prohibition, is the con-
slant interjection of the liquor men
into politics, causing "a feeling of
deep resentment because of their
selfish dominance of party organi-
cation and their unsatisfed and in
satiable demand for control of leg
islative and executive Office.
1t may now be too late for the
liquor men to stop the enrolling

The team from Hebron, composed al
most wholly of Hebron Academy stu
dents, proved Q little too strong for the
Savoy team in the game played 1T Savoy
Theatre Saturday night, and won BY .
score of 81 to 81. Hebron brought q
very heavy team, one man tipping the
scales at 220 or better, and they knew
how to play basket ball. football or any
other styls of game. The game was
rough but the players on both teams
were good natured In their roughness
and no bad feeling was shown. The
Savoy team was fully the equal Of He.

but the superior physical condition Of
the Hebron boys told greatly toward the
end of each half. The first period ended
with the score 18 to IL In Hebron's favor.
The Paris team tied the score early In
the second half, but their wind soon gave
out and they gradually fell behind.

"shoesn At the Bonita Today.

SHOeS AL the DOKuLd lOddJ'
When the girl came home al night
from her slavish day behind tie coun-
ter of five and ten cent store, she
could look through the bedroom !oor
and see her lazy father there, lying
sprawled upon the bed, reading
dime novel, smoking his pipe and,
near at hand, a "can" of beer from
which he frequently slipped. When
she went to work in the morning her
glance rested on the same picture
a father too lazy to even go forth
and look for employment for fear he
might find something to do.
This girl shaved for pittance of S.
a week. Her mother bent daily over
the wash-tub. These two women sup
ported the lazy father and two small
er children. When the girl finally
demanded that her rightful provider
get to work and buy a pair of shoes
the best answer she got was that
her father needed a pair himself.
There were paper insoles in the
girls shoes to protect the bottoms
of her feet from the splintered boards
upon which she stood behind the coun-
ter-the rotten leather promised to
give way entirely; the shoes were
falling from her feet.
Her only enjoyment was soaking
her tired and burning feet in warm
water every evening. From the IN,
opened pay envelope that she eacl
week laid in her mothers lap, Sc
could not be spared to buy the half
slave shop-girl pair of shoes. Final,
ly the spring rains set in, and what
was left of her rotten shoes were
ready to succumb-and so was the
girl.
Shoes she must have-and shoes
she got.

made his first sensational success and
the echoes of it are still reverberating
in the far corners of the world. Polo's
admirers have waited patiently for his
reappearance on the screen in sym
pathetic role in which he will have the
opportunity to use his almost super
human strength and agility. In the
role OF Pedro, the servant and protec-
tor Of Liberty Horton, the beautiful
owner, through the death of her faith
er, of a rich and extensive ranch
across the border in Mexico, Jacques
Jsccard, whs wrote the serial, has
made special provision for Polo to be
in all of the sensational climaxes and
if he cannot stem the Mexican flood 1t
will not be Jaccard's fault.
