The True Note.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: All proht-sharing cooperation with
the alcoholic beverage business is unworthy
Of any newspaper. You have struck the true
note. The silent forces Of health and morals
and efficiency arc destroying the alcoholic
beverage business. Voluntary temperance and
abstinence arc increasing. These internal
forces arc dependable and will work their way
without external and artificial expedients like
prohibition and other anti-liquor legislation.
which. though it springs from excellent
theory, has no relation to the will Of the
people at whom it is aimed. Ideaism al
ways works subjectively.

of yours will cost you something, but every
thing worth doing is expensive, and the loss

Now let every paper in the city follow suit
and a step will have been taken in advance
toward the day of prohibition.

MIR. Barnes Goes.

The fight for the craftsmanship OF the
new state committee had one consequence
Of deep significance to those who have the
welfare of the Republican party at heart.
The reelection Of Chairman Tanner was
a definite reputation OF Mr.. William
Barnes's professions 10 party leadership.
He and his friends invited the test. They
planned surprise attack on the anti
Barnes clements in the committee; yet
with all the advantage of an assault from
ambush in their favor they were decisively
beaten.
1t has been demonstrated that the Al
banv boss does not control the new state
committee In order TO free the party
completely of the incubus of his leadership
It will only be necessary now 10 demon
strate that he does not control enough
votes in the New York delegation TO the
Republican National Convention to insure
his reelection as national committeeman.
In politics Mr. Barnes is a Junker,
Bourbon. He learns nothing and forgets
nothing. lie prefers coercion to persuasion
and his policy is to drive out of the party
all those who oppose his will In order TO
control the organization he would keep 1t
small: the smaller the family the happier 1t
is, is his philosophy. lie has illustrated IN
New York. though not so successfully, the
theory which Colonel "Jim" Guffey APP
piled in so mastery a manner when be-
was the leader of the Democratic party IN
Pennsylvania The colonel by constant
elimnations secured a following, mt
though few. Mr. Barnes has lacked the
power but not the will to reduce the Re
publican organization here to permanent
docility through similar destinations.
Mr.. Barnes. like Colonel Guffey, is de
void of the arithmetical instinct so useful
TO politicians lie and his kind have per
suaded themselves-in spite of mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration to the contrary In
the Presidential election of 1912-that 4
votes plus can produce a majority OF 700
In the Electoral College. They never care
for the votes of those who will not bindly
recognize their authority and infallibility.
Mistaking his prejudces and antago-
nisms for principles, Mr.. Barnes has al
ways subordnated party success TO the
vindication Of his own personal judgments.
He has been a driver-an overseer with
the ashland not a leader. Even IN
state in which that sort of party rule has
long been common-and still fourishes un-
checked inside the Democratic party-his
arrogance has passed all bounds. 1t has
been matched only by the arrogance of
Roscoe Conkling.
The Republican party is we'll rid Of such
leadership. In a crisis in which party re-
unification is desired above all things 1t is
imperative that the Republican organiza-
ton should face the future in broad
spirit and with free mind. Men of Mr..
Barnes stamp have no place in the front
rank. The Democracy of New York may
still cherish and follow Murphy But the
Republicans of New York cannot afford to
cherish and follow Murphy ir.
Mr.. Barnes has gone as a leader. His
going ought 10 be cause of jublation TO
all those who believe in future Of power
and usefulness for the Republican party.

SMASHING AN INDUSTRY

The herd law bill which is now be-
ing circulated in petitions to initiate,
is intended to put the range stock
men out of business and is we'll cal
culated to produce that result. 1t
will affect cattle, sheep, and horses.
Last year these classes Of live stock
were assessed for 70,600,000.00 In
round numbers. On most conser-
vative estimate. the passage of this
bill will cut this number In half,
which will mean that from thirty to
forty million dollars now being as
sessed against live stock will have to
be placed upon other property which
ia sure to increase the taxes. On the
other hand, what is to be gained by
the passage Of such law? There Is
already on the statute books ample
law to protect every farmer from
trespasisng live stock upon his cult
vated lands. This law is seldom ap-
pealed to for the reason that the far
mers prefer to get along In peace
with each other. The proposed bill
is based upon the idea that there Is
class hatred between those farmers
who own cattle and those who do
not. AS matter Of fact, there Is no
such feeling existing today. but this
law is well calculated to produce 1t.
The bill is essentially vicious in all OF
its features and no similar law can be
found upon the statute books OF any
other state.
Heretofore 1t has been the policy
of this state to pass laws that will en-
courage tho production Of live stock.
This Ia the first serious attempt in
the other direction. The proposed
bill will certainly put burden upon
the stock farmer which cannot fail
to discourage the growing Of live
stock.

CONDITION CALLS FOR
ADEQUATE RELIEF

petition is being circulated in Monte Vista
for the purpose of getting drainage in this city.
When sufficient number of names is secured the
petition will be presented to the council for action
under the legal provision that confers the necessary
power upon cities and towns
In 1909 sanitary sewer system construct
ed in the town Of Monte Vista at cost of about
$4,000, large enough to provide for the needs of
city of 10000 people. On account of the large
amount of water which has been poured into the
slough west of Monte Vista and the low places north
and south, the sewer system today is doing duty
both drain and a sewer, and as it's capacity
is, Of course limited it is consequently overbur-
dened and inadequate for the purpose of sanitary
only
About one-half of the property in the town is
at present connected with the sewer while all the
property paid its pro rata share for the construction
of the main at cost of about $4,000 and the peo-
pie who would like to connect and willing to d.
so, barred and will be barred forever, until a
drainage system is built to relieve system.
AS matter of equity is it right to tax the citi-
zens for benefit which they never have and never
will receive, and make them pay the bill? There
is only solution to the problem and that is drain
age OF capacity sufficient to carry off the sub-sur
face water.
We are advised upon the best authority that a
condition exists in the city of Monte Vista today
which is extremely unhealthy, and is rapidly becom-
ing worse The sewerage is backing up into the
ram pits in certain parts of town, overfowing over
the lawns in some instances, the Easements
ing as cess-pools, and the main sewer in the West
end of town is within six inches of the top of the
manhoes, and is liable to overflow at any time. The
saltwater is higher today than it has ever been at
this time of the year in the history of Monte Vista
