Will Need the Room.
The lie Sueur Centre Leader-Democrat
says Senator George II. Sullivan of
Saltwater, may be candidate for
Congress in the "solid Third" and the
editor does not seem to approve. All
he will say in favor of Sullivan's candidacy
is that Since the district was enlarged,
there seems to be plenty of room
Well, if Sullivan and c. r. Davis get
into fight over that congressional seat,
innocent by-standers like the Leader
Democrat will need plenty of room to
get out OF the way. There will be some
fight.
A year ago the political leaders in the
old counties Of the district thought they
had both of the districts places on the
national Republican delegation sewed
up in bag, but Sullivan tore up the bag
and took one Of the places himself.
Something of the kind might happen
again.

DEADLY PARALLEL,
NEW YORK WORLD SAYS PRO
H1B1TIoNIsTs SHOOT
TOO, HIGH
WILL MAKE LAW DEAD-LETTER
IN STATES WHERE IT'S NOT
POPULAR

The New York World, in a leading
editorial, makes some timely remarks on
the over-activity Of the prohibitionists
in their effort to make the entire United
States "dry," especially in states where
popular sentiment is against it. The
Times says:
Had it not been for the insistent de-
termination of the slave States to extend
their peculiar institution the Civil
War would never have been fought. Had
the advocates of slavery been content
to leave slavery to the States that wanted
slavery, the issue could ultimately have
been adjusted without the loss of more
than 100000 lives and the wasting of
treasure.
The Prohibition States are now under
taking to do what the Slave States once
unsuccessfully attempted. They are
resolved to extend their prohibitory
system to the rest of the country and to
override the States that are opposed to
Federal regulation of the sumptuary
habits Of the people. The Senate
yesterday voted to submit the amend
ment to the Legislatures of the several
States, and unless reason triumphs over
fanaticism in the House the country
will be torn for the next six years by this
unnecessary and highly dangerous con-
troversy.
" At time when the most solemn duty
of Congress is to promote American
unity and concentrate its energies on
the winning of the war, new subject
of national discord is created by the in
sistence of the Prohibitio. lobby and the
failure Of the Senate to measure up to it's
great responsibilities.
Each State Has Power.
finders the Constitution as it now
stands the people of every State have
full power to regulate the manufacture
and sale of all alcoholic liquors. They
can license it, they can restrict it, thew
prohibit it as they please. That is how
it should be. That is how it must be
# the fundamental principles of the
Government Of the United States are not

authority made the dictator of the per-
sonal habits Of every man, woman and
