that the Territorial Legislature has no power
 to give force and effect to the expression of
 the popular will lt Is admitted that there is
 only one of two ways to proceed. The one
 way would be for Congress to pass prohibit
 ton law and provide for the manner of its
 enforcement, and the other would be to give
 the people of the Territory power to act.
 The Empire favors the latter course, and,
 should come in a full Territorial form Of gov
 ernment bill that legislation with ref
 erence to this subject, and the legislation
 that would be required because of the col
 lateral effects of such legislation other
 matters, might be harmonious"
 Many times after that date, and before the pas. sage Of the bill The Empire pointed out the advs. ability of having this matter referred to the Terri tory. The ProgressiveNIiner itself reproduced some Of these editorials
 In fairness let us also say that the Dispatch, a few days after The Empire had taken this position, also declared in favor of Territorial rather than Federal prohibition law, Therefore, at least three of ,he daily newspapers of Southeastern Alaska de- clared themselves on this point before the passage of the bill and all of them took the same position.

"THE ROSE"
Written by Adah Losh Rose
and Dedicated to the 1917
Pendleton Rose Show.

When God created the world and all
therein
He created man without a sin,
And placed him in a garden
Where sweet roses must have grown.
Perhaps like those in Heaven blown.
A woman with him then to dwell
God gave-but the tempter tempted
and they fell.
out Of the garden they the angel
drove
Upon the virgin earth, henceforth to
rove.
The man TO plant and till the soil
And win by his hard labor and toll
Each blessing he should then receive.
Because his God he had scorned and
deceived.
But God was kind and to him gave
Success. when he had tried so brave.
Fruits and plants in plenty grew
And proved II we are good. God is
The flowers hioomed To- give them
cheer,
The rose. perhaps. to them most dear.
For the fragrant rose stands for
Gods greatest gift to man from
above.
For God is Love. and Love is Truth.
II We forget 'tis our anguish and our
ruth.
So - with patience and with care
We rear and grow these roses rare.
Within our hearts let there spring up
o
cup.
And while We ever strive 20 show
In Pendieton the finest roses grow.
Love for mankind may we extend
As our message round the world We
send
J-rou our Round-Up hat let there be
stuck
A rose. beside our Let 'er Buck
