As sample Of tie conditions ex-
isting under the present local option
regime IN this county the fact that on
Monday last so gallons OF whiskoy
we're received AZ the Northwestern
station alone, may be pointed 10 as Q
sample OF the laws inehieiency i
| 81 safe TO say that 800 gallons Of
whiskey has been shipped into this
community during the past week in
preparation for the Christmas hol-
days.
We do not cite this condition TO be-
little the local option laws but as a
fact for careful consideration by those
who are responsible for the voting Of
Michigan dry and who must answer
for conditions after II goes dry, The
conditions in Iron county are worse
today than they were under the Ii
censed saloon. More harm is being
done the average foreign family today
than was done through the saloon
and that condition does not result
from the fact that the officers have
hunked in their duty but from the
fact that the present laws are not odo-
ouate 10 govern tho situation in sec
lions OF the state where there Is a
foreign population addicted TO the use
Of liquor.
It is a fact that the American boy
of our city has not the saloon tempta-
ton confronting him and in that way
the dry condition IS great benefit.
II is also n fact that the children Of
foreign parentage which has not yet
been Americanized and which IL adj
dicted TO the use OF liquor. lives in
an atmosphere Of booze continuously.
Conditions on our locations are very
bad; much worse than they were un-
der the wet regime.
We know that this statement will
stir the animals up with some OF
our ardent dry" friends but such are
the facts and we are stating them, not
IN advocacy Of saloons, for we hold
no brief for the saloons, but as a
warning against such legislation as
will allow this condition to rule in the
state after the prohibition amendment
goes into effect There is no use of
our dry" friends playing the ostrich.
They ought to face the condition
frankly and profit by the experience
in this county which is indicative Of
what the entire mining section Of the
upper peninsula will be soon unless
there is some change in the laws

Sooner or later a sectional Ques.
ton will have to be settled in this
nation. The hasty enrranchisement OF
the negro following the civil war an
act which the wrath Of the northern
people over tie assassination OF Lin
coin made possible is ripening it,
fruit after fifty years OF smothereG
growth Either the negro must be
admitted to full fcdged citizenship or
denied a. This halfway business viii

The recent election OF Wilson
through tile predetermined decision OF
section OF our country which votes
party ahead OF policy brought this
sectional question to a head as Il has
not been since the civil war. Condi-
tons in the south today are the Same
politically as they were before the
civil war The negroes are counted

but are counted ont when It comes TO
making decision in other words

There isn't much complaint in the
north because the negro IS denied the

and white men will rule but one por-

70 rule them through the negro II the
south wants TO count the negro IN de-

governmental affairs It must allow the
negro so counted TO vote II it pre-

must not count him in fixing its rep

progressive, populist or under any
either party head SO that votes would
be east down there upon present day
issues and not upon issues that passed
away forty years ago. this condition
would right itself So long as the
fact that the south voting solidly
didn't decide elections this question
waH lost sight OF but now that party
ties have been dissolved very much in
the north and people are voting on
issues and men rather than upon par

becomes very prominent.
There will surely bc an attempt
made to curtail the power OF the
south by proportioning representation
