While there is not the slightest
doubt but that Nevada will enter the
list of prohibition States, the Assem-
bly, rejected the prohibition petiiol
the other day by an overwhelming
vote, but clearly indicated the inten-
ton to leave the matter to the people.
The initiative and referendum amend
ment to the Constitution contem-
plated this very action. The legis-
lature is justified in its act for the
reason that prohibition was not an
issue of the campaign IN when the
members were chosen. While the pc
titions filed contained thousands more
names than required by the law, yet
the fact that they lacked many thou
sand names to constitute majority
of the voters of the State warrants
the action of the legislature. IL
passed at this time the only way to
bring the matter before the people to |
test the attitude of voters would be by
another petition. Had the members
voting against its passage been elect
ed in such manner as to indicate the
preference of their constituents, or
had the petitions filed contained the
majority of the names OF the voters
of the State, the failure to pass the
law would have been fragrant VIOLA
ton of the confidence imposed IN the
men elected to the Legislature. AS
il is. some will criticise that body tor
not passing the bill, but every TAR
minded prohibitionist who is sincere
in his convictions and has studied
the question intelligently, no matter
how ardent ne is for the repression OF
the liquor traffic, will recognize the
Justice of the attitude OF the repre-
sentatives who voted against the
measure for the purpose of submitting
the issue to the people of the State IN
such manner that there will be nc
question as to the intention OF the
voters.

Several who signed the prohibition
petitions circulated throughout the
State and filed with the Secretary OF
State, have since written to the Secre-
tary asking to have their names
stricken. 1t is the right of every per
son to change his mind, but such per
sons furnish the reasons for the fire
uent statement that many people arc
inclined to sign petitions requesting
the hanging OF the signer.

Small FIRE IN MATAwAN
spccsar TO the EVENING NEWS.

dpccsdl to the EVENING NEWS.
Matawan, April 5.--An alarm of fire
at l2;4b O'Clock yesterday called out
the entire fire department of the bor-
ough to put out o. fire on the roof of
the Mrs. Jacob Reeves. residence in At
lantic avenue, which had gained con-
siderable headway, before the alarm
was given.
Just how the fire started or the
cause of 1t is not known. Mrs. Reeves
claims that the blaze was started by
sparks from fire burning in the woods
near by at the time. but the firemen
do not think this possible as the wind
which was blowing at the time would
have carried the sparks from the house
into the gully. They are inclined to
believe that the fire to the roof started
from the chimney and the SHARKS from
this blaze set the woods afire.
The damage done to the property
by the fire was trdfiing. although q part
OF the roof will have to be re-shingied.
