by a majority of 3 to l. Utah has
probably elected Legislature pledged
to enact Statewide prohibition. Wash
irgton, Iowa, Colorado, Arizona and
Arkansas have defeated attempts of
the liquor people to secure the adop-
ton of proposals which would nullify
their prohibition laws. Thus, "A
states out of As. one-half of the states
of the Union, have now declared for
Statewide prohibition, and over 60
per cent OF the population and 50
per cent. Of the area Of the country is
now under prohibition laws.
In view of these facts, Congress, at
the approaching short session, should
pass promptly the resolution now in
the committee Of both houses giving
the several states of the Union the
right to vote upon a National Consti-
tutional Prohibition amendment.
Furthermore, as a majority of the
people of the United States are now
living in dry territory. Congress
should pass the bill providing for pro-
hibition in the capital of the nation,
as the law governing the capital city
of the nation should be in accord with
the sentiment of the majority OF the
citizens Of the nation.
These two measures should De
passed Jv Congress without delay, and
other legislation, such as prohibition
for Hawaii and for preventing the use
of the mails for liquor advertising IN
prohibition territory. should also re
ceive prompt and favorable consldera-
ton from the national laW-maklng
body.
We call upon the patriotic citizen
nv of the country to urge upon thelr
representatives in the Senate and IN
the House of Representatives the
speedy passage of these measures.

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION OVER 60 PER CENT OF POPULATION VICTORIES
OVER The NArON-MCHGAN NEBRASKA MONTANA AND SOUTH DAKOTA
AMONG MORE RECENT PLACES TO VOTE ON ISSUE

The almost remarkable trend to-
ward Prohibition in the United States
is causing no little uneasiness on the
part of brewers and distillers. 1t
seems that it will be but a matter of
time until the entire country will be
under the Prohibition law, unless the
dry tide which is sweeping over
the Nation is stemmed.
Only in large cities will the pro-
hibitiOn advocates have the greatest
difficulty. In hose places it will be
extremely hard for them to put prohl-
bition across. But in the election or
this past Tuesday Kansas City, Miss
ouri, gave a majority in favor of pro-
hibition. However, St. Louis, where
there are several large breWeries,

cluded a protracted session held at

OF self-control for a man to hold his
head and his tongue when he is being
assailed, his character and good name
dragged in the mire, and all manner
of slander hurled at him. In this
campaign the people have seen the
most uncalled for assault of this
nature that has ever come under our
observation, and it is with genuine
pride that we have watched the victim
of this attack meet it with dignifed
silence. F. Elliott Smith, elected by
the citizens of this county, has lived
among us two years. He resided in
Elk River four or five years before
coming to Orofino. In all these years
residence in the county he has been
an exemplary citizen. His friends
are among the cleanest and best men
and women in the county. Never has
there been one word rejecting on
his good name, never has his honesty,
his morality or his character been
questioned. Where he lived he counted
as his friends men and women who do
not countenance indecent, immoral or
unworthy men. Today F. Elliott
Smith holss these friendships, and is
respected by all the respectable cit
liens of the comfy. His life has
been clean, his influence cast on the
side of right and decency. AS ar
officer he had the courage to take his
stand against bootlegging and houses
