LOOK OFT FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF THE
LIQUOR INTERESTS.

-
Prohibition legislation in Washington has taken
not unexpected turn. ...=. -.
As Told in a news despatch today. the house terri
tories committee favors bin which will submit the
question OF prohibition to referendum" for the
people OF Hawaii. The form Of the referendum is
rather novel II is TO he through written petition.
Official petitions for and against prohibition will be-
circulated and on the number of signatures pro and
con will rest the result. @*... -.
There will be no election, IN The usual sense Ot
that term but the desire Of the people will he ok
pressed by these signatures TO petitions.
Right here and noE the people may well be warned
that the liquor INTERESTS will seek to tie up the voters
to "wet" petitions ais rapidly possible. Very prob
ably unofficial petitions will be put in circulation at
once, in many parts Of the islands. Signatures may
be secured from voters with clear understanding
OF the situation The booze interests are not likely
to show themselves particularly scrupulous in get
ting the signatures. Misrepresentation, befogging
Of the issue, pressure-many methods may be tried
to defeat the prohibition advocates.
The prohibition forces have long ago begun their
campaign of public education the subject Of
booze and they have long circulated petitions favor
ing prohibition. Their methods have been above
beard, frank and effective. For them, the coming
campaign will therefore to large extent he over
familiar ground, and they will be but continuing
their appeals to reason, good judgment and COM
nlunity welfare.
What the voters now have to watch for and check
Is an attempt to get their signatures antprohibi

On the alert for the opening moves of the liquor
forces Ii is up TO every voter TO that he is not
tricked into putting his to document without

In fair fight, prohibition will win. The citizens
who will put their names to documents tying the ter
ritory up for awhile longer with Booze are fewer
than the citizens who will put their names down on
the side Of temperance and progress.

ADynRrisISo's POWERS nExEMrnrlED
Prom the New YORK Times.

From the New York Times.
That the lifeIong faith of Sir Joseph Beecham
ID the power Of publicity was fully justified is no
better shown, perhaps, by his accumulation of a
huge fortune than ii was by the fact that a great
number Of newspapers scattered over pretty nearly
the whole world will treat his DEATH even in times
Ike these, piece of news deserving not little
Of precious space. And, as docs not often happen,
both the fame and the fortune of this eminenty
cessfu pufveyor of pills were the product of what
might be called pure or abstract, advertising -ad-
t4rtisingi nitse1f-for what he exploited all over
the globe. II not exactly nothing, was not far from
Il n any sort Of value.
As analyzedsa few years ago by the British Med.
ital Association the pills which he declared to be
worth guinea u box consisted of aloes, ginger,
and soap in the simplest sort of mechanical com
bination, and cost him onefoufth of cent per box
% make. OF course they cost something more than
that TO sell, but between an eighth of penny and
q shilling there is delightfully."- wide margin for
profit
Except for those who reprobate the dissertation
81 scenery, the activities of Sir Joseph Beechman
did no particular or easily measurable injury to
bis fellowmen, for his nostrum though no doctor
would admit that its indscriminate and persistent
pse wins harmless, probably came as near to being
- as S<postrum can. good desl of the money
that came into his possession was put to commend
able uscs-uses Of public beneftand that is anoth-
reason for regarding him with equanimity, if not
precisely with favor
BE was, in short, welintentioned and for the
most part well-doing man, OF notable energy and
business ability and If all the stories of his achieve
pepts are true he had the saving grace that lies in
sense Of humor. The story that he put in certain
1tmn books an exhortation to bark and hear the
-
the thing may or may not be true, but that he did
not take himself too seriously is shown by the fact
that even when the honorifc SO beloved by Britons
put before his NAME he let that name retain its
humber FORM instead of reviying the aristocratic
eBeauchamps' Of its earlier days.
