We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We jare but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. Woodrow Wilson. National Prohibition When the house of representatives has adopted the national prohibition resolution as it will ultimately adopt it, congress will have fully washed its hands of a subject which for some years has greatly interfered with general legislation and which has contributed very largely to the delay in the consideration of the food control bill. With the adoption of this resolution and the reference of the subject of prohibition to the states, there can be no excuse for further activities at Washington. The prohibitionists and the liquor people can scatter to the battle grounds in forty-eight states. Now, if congress would dispose of the equal suffrage question in the same manner it would clear Wash ington of a lot of propagandists. We believe that thirty-two of the states, and that would be enough, would ratify a prohibition constitu tional amendment. Perhaps they would not do so now. In fact, we do not think they would, but taking into account the recent rapid spread of prohibition sentiment we believe that within the next six years, the period within which the amendment would have to be acted upon, the sentiment would become prev alent in more than thirty-two states. There are many currents in the stream of prohi bition. Though they all flow in the same general di rection and make up the flood they sometimes cross one another. There are different impulses. First we have the prohibitionists who are such for moral rea sons. They may be counted upon to support prohibi tion at any time and in any form. Then we have an other class who for economic reasons are favorable to prohibition as a principle, but have voted against local option and even state-wide prohibition on the ground that isolated prohibition is ineffective. This argu ment was not without some force a few years ago, but is less applicable with the federal legislation which now protects dry states or even dry districts. But this class might now be counted upon to support national prohibition. We have, though, another class of voters who have supported state prohibition and local option, but who are not really prohibitionists, who do not even practice temperance.. In the south, where beginning some thirty years ago, prohibition has made so great head way, some of the leaders had no other object in view than to keep liquor out of the reach of ignorant negroes and vicious, low caste whites. That could be pretty well accomplished by local prohibition without a great deal of inconvenience to those who could "drink or leave it alone," that is, those to whom in their own opinion strong drink could be used and not abused. Whether all prohibitionists of this class would support national prohibition, which means complete and total abstinence, is doubtful. We have state-wide prohibition in twenty-three states now and we believe that these states coud be counted upon for ratification. In at least a dozen others there is such a strong prohibition sentiment that large areas are dry and in others, such as Cal ifornia and Missouri, prohibition is always imminent. Thirty-five Years Hence Jack Lait, Chicago newspaper man, has an article in the last issue of the American Magazine entitled "Looking Ahead from Thirty-five." The writer, a man, of thirty-five, after pointing out the rapid strides the world has made from 1882 to 1915 which period covers the first thirty-five years of his life states that he cannot make himself believe that 1952 the end of his next thirty-five year period will be as monumental an advance over 1917 as 1917 Is over 1882. He predicts that in 1952 There will not be a king, emperor, czar or kaiser in Europe. Ireland will be an independent republic; so will Poland. Liquor will be taboo the world over barred at Its source. , Women will have full suffrage everywhere. Socialism will not have displaced republican gov ernment. There will be an aerial route across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with stations or controls at in tervals. There will be telephone connections with and with out wireless across both oceans. All principal cities will have double-decked streets, the lower strata for traffic by vehicles exclusively. Emigration from one country to another will be rare. , . . Firearms of all kinds will be obsolete, forbidden everywhere. Huge artificial lights will make the world as bright at night as by day. Physicians, lawyers, dentists, will be public officials and will not work lor individual fees. Love will guide matrimonial selection," but govern ment will refuse to license the unfit, the mismated, the immature, the senile, the damaged. New York City will have 10,000,000 inhabitants and its own legislature; Chicago will have 7,000,000 and, its own legislature. Of course, one person's guess is as good as an other. But in our opinion the coming thirty-five years will see greater progress, more wonderful in ventions, than the thirty-five year period we are just rounding out. It is true that science and invention have given to the world many notable achievements in the past thirty-five or even twenty-five years, but we believe that even more wonderful undertakings are going to be successfully consummated in the next quarter of a century. The Subject of Loyalty. We have received a number of marked papers containing articles telling of the harshness of the police in dealing with rioters and socialists engaged in demonstrations against the -war or conscription. We have received some letters on the same subject. We have no word of defense for illegal or brutal police methods. They are reprehensible and de structive of liberty. But it would be a pleasant sur prise to have one of our socialist friends send us a strong letter protesting against the unpatriotic, if not positively treasonable utterances and actions of some of the socialist agitators. We should welcome from this source a condemnation of the outrageous infringe ment of law as well as liberty of the trouble-breeding anarchistio organization.' These correspondents were greatly disturbed over the arbitrary actions pf the police of Boston. , Why. did not they show similar interest in the gross in vasion of the rights of men and women involved in the disturbances in Arizona or Montana? The only safeguard of liberty is the law. The men who strike at organized society for the purpose of tearing down are the enemies of democracy and the assailants of our liberties. They can be regarded in no other light. They would substitute their own pet theories, which in most instances are simply the vague clap-trap of other men, forythe orderly conduct of government under law. No thinking man will deny that there is need for governmental changes and many of us will live to see some of the Socialistic principles become the law of the land. That movement is now in progress. But the essential thing for that progress is the develop ment of our laws along proper lines. The destruction of law and order, preached by most of the agitators, would make that progress impossible and in the end break down government. , If those who send us these letters and papers are truly patriotic and interested in the cause of human liberty, they will throw all their strength to the gov ernment and aid in every way possible the promotion of the war, which is being waged against autocracy and in support of the principles of democracy. They will assist in the battle for humanity now raging on a thousand miles of battle front. They will have less to say about the abuses of the agitators and rally to the side of those who are protecting our liberties. The Butte Lynching The lynching of Little, the I. W. W. agitator at Butte, is wrapped up in some mystery. The lynching does not appear to have been an incident of the indus trial trouble which has stirred Butte for some time. Nor does it appear to have been the work of any or ganization of citizens formed to counteract the oper ations of agitators. At the most the identity of the lynchers is only suspected. Little was more than a labor agitator. He had arrayed himself against the government. He had formed traitorous designs and had urged their execu tion. If he could have had his way he would have made it impossible for the government to take part in the war. He had proposed the hamstringing of the government Little was not much of a force anywhere; a small, violent agitator anxious to keep a place in the public eye. Well, in his latter days he succeeded pretty well. At least twice within the last two weeks his name has had a place in the telegraphic dispatches. And not one citizen in a million occupies so much space when he comes to die. N LADY FEILDING TO WED FIGHTING MAN X m0m: Mil ASK 1 i i -;-.-:-:::: :, V 'if Y 5 Lady Dorothie Feilding. . .

' Where the People May Have Hearing i - : : WILL THE GERMAN PEOPLE FIGHT THE UNITED STATES? To The Editor of The Republican; Although the United States are pre paring to help the allies to defeat Germany yet, we cannot believe that Germany will war on the United States. What nation on earth has ever done for the world as did Uncle Sam? What country on the Globe has as ringing a name as has America? America has indeed deserved consid eration and respect for its glorious humanitarian deeds, which cannot but be deeply impressed into every man's foul, be he Christian or Pagan, ortho dox or atheist, American broad prin ciples did not discriminate, has treat ed every nation like brothers and sisters. What if India were struck with Famine, Jamaica with earthquake, China with the Boxer plague What would have become of the Poles and Belgians in this war? Who extended a helping hand if not liberal Uncle Sam? The millions of Jewish subjects ir Russia that have suffered in this bloody war would have perished like sheep from hunger and exposude, were it not for their brethren on this side of the ocean, but nothing to wonder for it was America! America is helping the allies not because she has a greater love for one nation than she has for another, tor if Germany were in a predicament where would the kaiser and its people look for sympathy if not to their own brethern in America? And what does America demand from Germany? To cease the slaughter and stop the destruction of humanity! To quit shedding the lives of his own as well as of other peoples. "With the bones of the youth has fertilized the ground." "The shreiks on the ocean re-echoed all around." Can America sit idly by and keep quiet? If it could, it would not have been the United States of America! NATHAN DIAMOND ruling rate 2; last loan 24; closing bid 2; offered at 2. , LIVESTOCK STARTIN' A PAPER. It used to be in the good old days, When things went wrong, the best of ways To smooth them out, and the devil to raise, Was to start a paper. But things have changed since then a lot. The people don't worry when you get ' hot Little do they care whether or not, You start a paper. With paper at seventeen cents a pound, . And H. C. L. clean out of bound, If folks start kickin' your dog around Don't start a paper. Edgar Kennison. o 7 FINANCES AND MARKETS I r-i n Republican A. P. Leased Wire NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (Wall Street) Adverse weather conditions again accounted in large degree for today's limited stock dealings, but the mar ket's undertone was one of steady strength, save for a few specialties, whose uncertain course resulted from specific reasons. Steels, coppers, leathers . and oils comprised fully seventy per cent of the day's operations, which, so far as they had any initiative, were directed against the shorts. United States Steel recorded a gross gain of 1 points at 125 and alliei: issues scored equal advances, but for the most part these were shaded frac tionally by profit taking before the end. Teyas Company and Mexican Pe troleum led the oils with advances of ZV and 2 points respectively. Industrial alcohol was most erratic of all specialties, rising and falling within a three point radius on rumors that the dividend soon to be declared might prove disappointing. Dividend totalling 32 per cent were declared af ter the close of the market. Total sales amounted to 360,000 shares. Several favorable June reports of railroad earnings, the continued strength of rubles, another large trans fer of gold to Japan and the Bank of England statement disclosing a gold depreciation of slightly over $3,000,000 made up the day s conflicting news de velopments. Bonds were irregular. Liberty 3Vs varied from J99.35 to J99.40. Total sales par value aggre gated Jl.975,000. -v.. U. S. bonds old issues were un changed on call. !.31 CHICAGO GRAIN t HICAGO, Aug. 2.
