The Prohibition Advocates.

Editor of The Washington Herald: In
a recent issue of your paper I find an
editorial commenting on an appeal OF
Rev. Mr.. Crafts to the Representatives
for constitutional prohibition, etc, on the
ground that 10000, 900 church members de-
sired 1t. You clash with Mr. Crafts and
say the church members do not want
prohibition. According to your statement
land 1t seems authentic). It must be the
nonprofessional people who want prohibi-
ton. Do they want 1t for themselves, or
do they want 1t for the benef1t of their
Christian friends? You say Congress is
pretty we'll acquainted with the man who
represents all the people" 1 find that
the Representatives do pretty much as
they please. And they are about the
only class Of men who can do as they
please.
The people send men to Congress and
expect them to work for the best inter-
est of all the people. Do they do Il?
Does 1t look that way? I think this
country is about in the same predicamen,
as the world was in the days of the
Prophet. Amos. We often hear people
say history repeats itself, and It seems
its does. II anyone will take the time to
read the book of the Prophet Amos, he
will find a very strong comparison to the
present time in this beloved country OF
ours. And, what happened then. can
happen now. NEWCOMER.

have been swatted for irregular 25 and

day, the medium and common kinds

however are fully steady with late

in sympathy with lambs.
With moderate supplies next week.
the market is expected to hold UP well.
but conservative marketings will be
necessary to the retention of current

sharp advances are scheduled to be
shown before the present crop Of fed
stock nears the depletion stage, Col
orado feeders holding the key to the

Chicago Feb. 5.-Wheat prices today
reflected an upward tendency shown by
quotations at Liverpool Offerings here
We're light and the market responded
quickly to any good buying. Scantiness
of receipts northwest, especially at
Winnipeg, seemed to give a little en-

July at s1.25k to s1.25A, was followed
by a moderate setback, but then the

last nights level.
The close was weak, IS to II cents

Liberal receipts weakened corn. The

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS FAIL IN
EFFORT TO SECURE DESIRED
AMENDMENTS.
PRESIDENT GIVEN POWER
TO DELAY DATE OF LAW
Four-Year Bill Adopted With Provision
Authorizing Postponement Provided
Islanders Are Not Ready For Self
Government - Democratic Majority
in House May Ratify Senate Action.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The Philippine
bill, which would extend to the islands
greater degree of self-government
and would authorize the president to
grant them absolute independence
within four years, passed the senate
Friday night, 50 to "a. Various demo-
cratic senators, led by Chairman Stone,
of the foreign relations committee.
tried unsuccessfully to secure amend
ment of certain features of the indie
pendence clause, but in the end the
democrats, Joined by six progressive
republicans, voted solidIy for the meas
ure.
Administra ton leaders Friday night
seemed confident that the bill, includ-
ing the independence feature which
democratic senators declare squares It
with the Baltimore platform, would
have the approval Of the house DEM
ocratic majority. The republican SEN
ators who voted for the bill were Bo-
rah, Clapp. Kenyon, LaFollette. Nor
ris and Works. By overwhelmingly ma
jorities the senate had refused to
modify the Clarke amendment, which
contains the independence provision
and also gives the president authority
to extend or withhold independence
at the end Of four years II he should
find conditions in the islands unfav-
orable. The time would be extended,
however, only until an incoming con-
gress could consider the subject.
Terms of Independence.
AS passed. the bill carries a provi-
sion authorizing the president when
independence is granted, to negotiate

SALOON ISSUE IN ILLINOIS.
Both Vets and Drys File Petitions in
MANY Places.


Chicago. Feb. 5.-Some 800 cities and
towns of Illinois will vote on the wet
and dry question next April as the re-
suit of petitions filed yesterday both by
the saloon and anti saloon forces. In
about ne-third of the localities the
wet faction is seeking to regain control
of the districts. while in the remainder
the drys are trying to drive out the sa-
looms.
In the district surrounding Chicago
most of the petitions were filed by the
vets in an effort to recover ground
lost in the last test. which, coming
soon after women were given the bal
lot. resulted disastrously for the saloon
forces. Among the cities are Elgtn,
Sterling De Kalb. Rochelle, Batavia.
Plainfield, Geneva, Plan, 1orkvllle,
Yorkville, Hinckley, and Sycamore.
Apparently the vets have given up
hope of regaining Rockford. the largest
dry city in the state. No petition was
filed there, despite the fact that the
CITY for years has been one Of the prin-
cipal backgrounds of the wet and dry
forces. The vets also ignored Il large
number of smaller towns which were
voted dry at the last election.
While the drys failed to file petitions
in Joliet, a wet stronghold. they COM
mitted themselves to campaigns In Au-
rora and Rock Island. The drys also
filed petitions in st. Charles, another
wet stronghold.
In addition to these larger cities. the
anti saloon forces filed petitions in
nearly 200 towns in the western and
central parts OF the state.
The drys are counting to a great ex
tent upon the increasing number OF
women who are going to the polls at
every election.
