him to scratch the ticket without hssv

STUDY THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The senate's passage of the District of
Columbia prohibitory law with favorable ac-
ton In the house assured, is the second import
ant event recorded recently in Washington in
the direction of national prohibition. The su-
preme court has upheld the constitutionality of
federal law bearing upon the prohibition Of
shipments to dry states, thus adding federal
restriction to the liquor traffic, and now the
national capital is to outlaw the sale of liquor
Serious consideration of prohibitory amend
ment to the federal constitution is not far in the
future, surely.
With the issue fairly raised, then. it is high
time to meet it with more than the impression
istic view of the moralist What would be the
machinery of national prohibitory lawf
What would be the process of abolishing the
entire business of manufacturing and selling
iquor' The details have not been much dis
cussed. The prohibitionists have not gone be-
yond planning prohibition in general terms.
A suggestion worthy Of national attention
has been made by The Outlook in its comments
upon the desirabiity of national federal
amendment. Maintaining that congress should
be more thoroughly Informed on the relations
of the government to the liquor traffic The Out
look proceeds to advocate an authoritative
study of the question before any action is at
tempted. 1t says:
For this reason we advocate the appotntr1 ept
by the president under Of congress or
small commission like the Mexican or none
tary commission, to study the whole question and
make report to congress This was the co,trsa
pursued in the radical and overturning chance
from the old national bank act to the nrese3t
federal reserve law, change which has b.d
most far-reaehing effect industry ensnce

BLUE LAW SURVIVAL.

The actual prosecution Of a Connecticut min
lister under an old law forbidding anyone to
call in question any portion of holy writ
arouses certainty curiosity as to the state OF
mind of those who instigated theIprosecution:
\ reasonable view would be that it was con-
sdered the best method of rousing the state to
overhaul the legal antiquary shop. But so far
mo suggestion has been made-or at least pub
lished-from leading citizens of Connecticut
insisting upon modernization
Does Connecticut desire to retain the name
and character of mediaevalism7 The matter
is not very practical one, since nobody Is
likely to suffer any serious disability. Yet, on
the other hand, the whole nation is bound to-
gether in one, and even the unimportant alb
suridities of single state may go to make up
the sum of American character.
IF the matter were to be considered seriously
the only possible view would be that free
speech-within the bounds of decency-is an es-
sential principle held by the nation and nc
state has the right to retain upon its statute
books, even though it be largely IN dlsuse,
law contravening the principle.
OF course the more cheerful view Is that we
need few survivals like this to mark the
real progress, in such matters at least, since
s'the good old days

but a few days he crossed the line into Nogales where he was taken into GUS tOdy. Carlson was the first and most enthusiastic booster San Diego ever had. He was mayor of the city 25 years ago and for some time afterward and it was during his administration that attention was called to the fact that San Diego was something more than a mere'round black spot on the map of the southwestern part of the United States.
 He was probably the first man that ever proposed to connect San Diego with Arizona by rail and once he brought delegation of San Diego busi- ness men to Phoenix to see what could be done about that union.
 He was also a strong advocate, if not the originator, of the proposition to form a new state of the southern part of California, or to be more exact, the county of San Diego and the then ter ritory of Arizona.

SEED SHORTAGE
 SERIOUS ISSUE

For the purpose of ascertaining, as a matter of military necessity, the re- sources of the Salt River valley, a cen sus recently has been made which shows there is a lack of certain feed crops The figures returned show that there is needed in the valley 29,000 pounds of milo maize, kaffir corn and feterta and nearly 300 laborers.
 The table has not been fully com pleted to show the entire needs of the valley. The boys reserve is actively at work, and 1t probably will be necessary to mobilize more boys or bring in labor from outlying places. One hundred la borers are needed on Monday for farm work in this valley.
