MAKING RULES sCAPEGoAT

The rules of the Senate are sought to be made the scapegoat in this emergency" he declared and added that he thought 1t unnecessary to amend the rules to pass this bill
 Senator Sherman said he failed to see any reason to be 'precipitate" and pointed to the sinking of the Lusitania nearly two years ago, and the sinking of other ships since to show that the President had not been in a hurry to de- mand. action.
 T wish to remind the President" said the senator, when he seeks to blame the Senate and the Senate rules and few senators, that during large part of this time he has ridiculed preparedness. He has ridiculed it in the army and in the navy
 MT. Sherman declared there was no doubt in his mind that the armed neu- trality bill would give the President the right to arm munition ships and furnish warships to convoy.
 When we do that" he said, I've are in de facto war without the formality that precedes the clash of arms. Bear in mind that I will vote for this bill. And am prepared to vote for war when the Pres- ident exercises the power given in this bill.'
 He said he hoped war could be avoided and declared himself fin favor of con- scripting every New York editor who is advocating war in his editorial columns. '' Senator Sherman read extracts from l President Wilson's meetings, declaring i that the unlimited debate in the Senate l was of great importance to its usefulness ! as legislative body

PROHIBITION
 LABOR's ENEMY
Conditions in Dry Washington as Sized Up by Recently Returned
 Business Man

The following from the Douglas correspondent of tho Juneau Empire appeared recently In a luto Issue of that paper:
 A prominent resident of Douglas who returned recently from a bus mess visit Co Seattle and other points iu Che state ro Washington, tells of Che injurious and pcruicious effects Of prohibition on the parts Of thc country visited by him us follows:
 "It is but natural that a laboring man. bc he mechanic, minor, lumber man or farm hand. after working several months should decide Co take au occasional loyon for tho pur- pose of both resting and spending his money. The result is that Inc quits his work and goes Co town with money in every pocket. The town has gone "dry" and tho poor laborcr is up against hard prop usition in Che matter or getting rid of his money He buys suit of clothes. shoes, hat, several gallons uf soda water. but still has money Icft. Tho result ls that he hangs around town for several days, dur mr which time his labor is lost Co Che world. causing inertia among Jhc wheels of commerce and rctard- ing general progress. He may re- main iu town ten days or two weeks before city lifc pals on him Co such au extent that he becomes weary of it and is bcsct by a longing for Che mine. lumber camp or the farm. But he stiu has money. SO as a last resort hc deposits it In a bank and returns Co his employment. True, Inc does not 80 back without any new clothes and with his system an shot Co pieces. but he goes back sorry he took vacation and resolves Co not take another for four years. by which time he will be a bloated cap tolist
 "It was different In the good old days of thc Clanccys, Bnly-thc-MuE and others who kept open house for Che benefit Of the poor laboring man. There Che latter could find channels for Che output Of his money and from 2i Co 4S hours usually sufficcd to scatter it. The last morning he would likely make a breakfast of cheese and crackers from thc end ot Che bar. but he would hike back Co work chastcncd and subdued man. an Che hell worked out of his systcm and with good resolutions uucliug iu his bosom. He might not feel just like a full-grown geran- um for che first day or two after returning Co his work, but he had no fears about Che bank In which he had not lcft any money going broke. Besides. he had only been away from his work two days, and that time was not sufficient Co cripple any ot Che worlds industries.
 Personally. ! have always enter alucd Che notion that prohibition would bc a good thing. but since | have seen its effects on tho aver age working man In tho parts Of Washington | visited, ! have chang cd my opinion. for now realize that Jbc only rcal way to get the best results from laborlng man is toI keep him broke"
