Much of the difficulty in enforcing the prohibition laws is due to an in different public opinion
 That opinion is largely the result of imperfect knowledge of the history of alcoholism. seldom is a present prob lem correctly understood unless it's historical perspective is taken into ae- count.
 There is a current assumption that alcohol like the poor. has been al ways with us Prohibition is looked upon as bolt from the blue-some- thing suddenly injected into human affairs without any valid antecedent development.
 That is not true Prohibition be- came il social force only after alco- holiSm became reeial menance. The reason that prohibition first fruitcd in the United States was that alcoholism reached it's most dangerous develop ment in this country first.
 There k a very interesting room in the Smithsonian institution at wash mgton It is filled with bones and plaster casts of the bones of men and women who lived in European caves shortly after the great ice cap re treated from Europe and America.
 These folk were very, very human. They are representatives of no new race. Their ancestors had been human folA millcnniums before. But it was in their time that man first began to experiment with alcohol.
 Humanity had practically reached it's present physical and nervous or ganizaton before any member of the race had ever slipped the alcoholic poison.
 When the first man tried it is be yond our ken We know that it was long after our ancestors discovered the use of dre-probahly mans great est q scovery.
 When the white man came to Amer ea he found whole race ignorant of alcohol and utterly unable to with stand it's Mvages. In Africa, and in the islands of the sea, men have been found within the last 100 years who knew nothing of it.
 All knew the use of fire. All had legends which professed to tell how man had snatched the secret of fire from the gods or from nature.
 Likewise men who knew the use of wine, or mead, had legends about the discovery of alcohol. These legends and the cults that clustered about them are more recent than the fire myths From certain evidences in the structure of these myths we are led to believe that crude wine was known before men used iron. But the same myths and cults make LIS certain that this wine was very weak stuff, and drunk only in midsummer, and scl- dom, if ever, stored.
 Men had no casks and little pottery. Fermented juices were made at the harvest and consumed-usually with religious rites-but there was no all the year consumption. The physical effect of alcohol in those ages was very slight

Mayor Hamby says it is a duty of some fireman when fire breaks out to turn the water off at the standpipe, thereby insuring pressure in the mains while fighting fire. There have been so few fires in Prescott the past two years that the turning off Of the water is sometimes overlooked. This was the case at the fire last Thursday. causing a slight delay in securing suitable pressure.

DYE EMBARGO WINS,
HOUSE SPLITS ON OIL
UprOar Attends Movement to
Put Petroleum Back on
Tariff Free List.

WAsHrNoroN. July 16.--After refusing
by vote of 122 to ice to eliminate the
three-year dye embargo from the Ford
ney tariff bill. the House jumped sud-
d. My to-day into a partisan fight over
OIL
But it did not last long. Flaming
fiercely at first, the oil battle ended
abruptly on Republican motion to adj
tourn until Monday. Although opposed
solidly by Democrats, who forced a roll
call, the result was the same as yester-
day, when the Republicans. standing to-
gether, voted to quit
BY breaking in unexpectedly. Repre-
sentative Garrett (Tenn), In charge of
the Democratic minority. forced the oil
issue to the front. His amendment 20
the free list was thrown out on point
of order ar1fd great confusion and up
roar.
For a time the House did not seem
able to tell its legislative head from its
heels. a Republican breaking in with
a wild shout to know Where are we
at?"
AS Mr.. Carrots free oil amendment
was knocked out, Representative Tread
way (Mass.). Republican member Of
he Ways and Means Committee, which
at the eleventh hour imposed a duty
Of cents barrel on crude petroleum
and Is cents a barrel on fuel oil. stepped
to the front with an amendment to wipe
out the proposed tax. Being a member
Of the committee. he. was permitted to
present 1t, but was stopped after talking
five minutes by objection of Democrats,
who announced they were prepared to
shut off debate and vote.
In the half hour furry the oil duty
was violently denounced and warmly
defended. Representative Robertson
(Okla.), Republican, was appiauded for
attacking the New England policy Of
demanding protection with one hand and
free trade with the other"
1t was apparent that oil took top
place in interest among the House men,
bership in the five contested schedules
on which a separate vote Is to be per-
mitted by special rule. Everybody, II
seemed, was anxious to speak. and
worn out by the all day wrangle oyer
dyes, the members were ready to lay off
until Monday and get their forces lined
up for the real fight.
The dye embargo stood up against a
combined attack by Democrats and Re-
publicans. 1t was denounced by Repre-
sentative Frear (Wfs.), a Republican
| member Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. and others as a move to build
up q dye monopoly in this country
As the vote was comparatively close
some doubt was expressed as to the
final action by the House proper next
week, the vote to-day being in the com
mittee OF the whole. The schedule, In
addition to the embargo. fixes a duty
of seven cents a pound and 35 per cent
ad valorem on imports of coal tar prod
ucts from which the dyes are obtained.

DISMISSAL OF CHARGE
DOESN'T END MYSTERY
Rosenbluths Demand for Ac-
tion Brings Release.

The dismissal in Washington yester-
day OF the case against Capt. Robert
Rosenbluth brings to a close another
chapter in the mystery surrounding
the death of Major Alexander p. Cronk-
hite in Camp Lewis. Washington. Capt
Rosenbluth was arrested at the Civic
Club, IA West Twelfth street, on March
% by Federal agents following that of
Rowland r. Pothier who served as SER
geant under Capt Rosenbluth. When
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Matteson in Providence Pothier
pleaded guilty to involuntary mars
slaughter declaring that he had shS
Major Cronkhite.
Since his arrest Sergeant Pothier has
made five separate confessions. In the
first he said he had been induced to kill
Major Cronkhite by Capt. Rosenbluth.
This charge was denied by Rosenbluth,
and when he was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Hitchcock
In this district he entered a plea of not
guilty.
After the fifth confession by Pothier.
the Federal authorities turned over all
its papers In the case to the officials
of Tacoma, Wash, and apparently was
desirous of Withdrawing from the case.

either one way or the other and charg-
ing that he had been framed" Capt
Rosenbluth presented the facts to Sem
ator William M. Calder, who in turn
presented them to Attorney-General
Daugherty. asking that an investigation
into the circumstances Of the case be
started. This was in the last of April
and as result of this investigation, II
is said, the case against Capt. Rosen-
bluth was dismissed.
Jonah A. Goldstein of this city, attor-
ney for Rosenbluth, issued a statement
last night in which he said there could
not be the slightest doubt that the Prose.
cutting Attorney for Pierce county. Wash
fngton. would dismiss the case against
his client Mr.. Goldstein based his opin.
ion on the following letter which he re.
ceived recently from J. w. Seldom, the
Prosecuting Attorney of Pierce county;
IF the Department of Justice does
leave this matter in my hands there will
certainly have to be something more sub
stantial to 1t then / have received up to
the present time in order to induce any
action on the part of this office. From
information and reports I have been able
to gather 1t seems to me as II this whole
case should be considered as a closed in
