EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.


During the wet and dry campaign
of the state Of Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month of pro-
hibition this is what the editor said:
I'VE fought prohibition on economic
grounds alone. We believed that in
a great seaport city with a popula-
ton of upwards of 300, 900, prohibi-
ton would be destructive; that it
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor traffic al
well controlled as it could be; we
wanted to let it alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight. But in
spite of all we could do, prohibition
carried and went into effect January
1. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and
we had an average of $500 arrests a
month for crimes and misdemeanors
growing out of liquor drinking. In
January we had only 400 arrests and
so of these were made January 1,
and were the result of hang-oyers
from the old year."

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.

LEN N nA ] Es
Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
ton vas asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had investigated the
report Of w. ]. v. Deacon, state regis
trar of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.8
per 1000. The answer of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel L. Rogers, direc-
tors Of the United States bureau Of
census, gave this reason among 9TH
ers:
Kansas is a prohibition state and
has been for a generation, and in Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. ! do
not mean by this there is no alcohol
consumed in the state, but the abb
sence OF the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who, in the absence of n bar room,
find more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition is that the
wage of the laborer or mechanic is not
d~issipated, but goes to supply those
necessities of food, clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the w~ellbeing of
heir families and themselves" y

SUBWAY AND a."
Motormen May Form New
Brotherhood Division
and Make Demands.

All motormen and motor switchmen
on elevated, subway and interurbsn
lines received circulars yesterday in
vitng them to JOIN the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers IN a new diyi-
sion 20 be chartered Dy that organlzs-
ton. In labor circles the mass meet
ing held last night at Harlem Casino,
10th Street and Lenox Avenue, 70 dis
cuss the invitation vas regarded as q
significant preliminary to the threat
ened railroad strike.
II was said last night that formal
demand would be made within few
days Of all local traction companies for
recognition Of Division s6s, Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, as the
official representative of the subway
and elevated train motormen.
Another surprise is in store for tho
traction companies" said l.. q. Griiiing
assistant chief OF the brotherhood.
A report that the sudden activity OF
the brotherhood was intended TO pre-
vent the possible use Of motormon OF
the local traction companies as strike
breakers was denied by the organizers.
n
Mace is no man, in the opinion OF the
brotherhood" said A. /. Gridley. a
member of the organizing committee,
which is under the personal direction
of L. G. Griffng, assistant grand chief.
81 doubt if there is motorman on the
subway or elevated systems who would
consider an offer 10 climb into an cleo
tric locomotive after the strike order
had gone into effect. Furthermore, {
would take a subway motorman a week
20 learn the first principles of driving
an electric engine on strange road
bed"
The circulars distributed among the
traction company employees announce
that speakers will address meetings al
Harlem Casino at 10 a. m, 2 p. m. and
D. m. to-day and tomorrow. Among the
speakers last night were County Judge
John +. Hyland, OF Brooklyn, former
locomotive engineer and a member Of
the union, and Assistant Grand Chief
Gritfing. The meeting was held behind
closed doors.
Union employees Of the lnterbOrough
company will meet tonight TO discuss
the contracts which the men have been
asked 20 sign. Every few Of the men
are signing the contracts" Mr.. Fitzger-
aid said, so We are not worried"
This individual contract, u was
learned yesterday, was the subject OF
a discussion between representatives OF
the union and Frank Hedley and James
L. ouackenbush, Of the company, on
Wednesday. LOUIS Fridiger, counsel
for the union, said last night that min
utes OF this conference will show that
Mr. Quackenbush, general attorney for

Blame Impending Strike.

Charges that the Wholesale price of

cents pound overnight by the Live

with District Attorney Swami yester-
day by members OF the Federation Of

The butchers declared that the price
on Wednesday night was 10 cents Il

been raised to 20 cents.
District Attorney Swami questioned
heads Of the association. and was
told that the advance was made be-
cause Of the impending railroad strike.

Der of days, or the industry of the

in the history Of the country. It's

Senator Gallinger, Republican floor
leader commented saracastically on the
floor to-day on the fact tina. the Presi-
dent had come up to the Capitol 10 urge
Legislation which was unconstitutional,
II he read his Constitution Alright.
This view, however, was not taken by
some able lawyers on the Republican
side. One of them pointed out tonight
that Congress, either through the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
independently, had the same right,
constitutionally, to fix wages as 1T had
to fix freight rates.
Ii will be the lash of fear of a ma
tiOnal calamity in the shape of a rail-
road strike that will drive the eight
hour wage scale proposal through Con.
Rress before Saturday night, however.
and not the belief of either Senators
or Representatives that the proposals
have merit. Individual members of
both houses are frankly afraid TO stand
the criticism which might be heaped
on them for falling 70 prevent strike.
Even among the Democrats there are
but few who think the Presidents pro-
posals are fair. The general opinion
is that Judge Adamson's plan, now ac-
cepted by the President, is worse than
the Presidents original demands. They
regret the elimination Of compulsory
arbitration at the imperious demand
of the brotherhoods, and they think
something ought to have been said, II
Congress forces the railroads TO ad-
vance wages, about compen sating them
by permitting them TO charge higher
freight rates.
Senator Weeks's proposal for an in
vestigation by commission before
any action at all is taken would have
heavy support on both sides, judging
from private comments made by Sem
ators and members Of the House to-
day. If there were no fear of political
consequences. The imminenee Of the
Presidential election, besides the reali-
cation of what a catastrophe a strike
on all the railroads would be, over
shadows with most of the members Of
Congress any belief that the PROPOSE
ton agreed to by the President may be
fundamentally unfair and wrong.
