of July 17 1900 contains an article under the caption The Truth About Prohibition in Maine Mr Ilohuan Day Versus Cer tain Fanatics The article is im portant because it quotes an inter view with Mr Day who is a promi nent editor of Maine in which he gives the particulars of an interview had with Mr Roosevelt the latter hav ing called Mr Day to Washington for a conference This interview shows clearly the attitude of Theodore Roosevelt toward statutory prohibi tion as illustrated by the experience of Maine The article is well worth reading and is as follows The grand jury of Cook county Illinois in session at Chicago has found an indictment for criminal libel against William P F Ferguson edi tor and publisher of the National Pro hibitionist published in Chicago Th6 complainant is Holman Day of Maine whose articles on prohibition recentl published in Harpers Weekly elicited tne libel for which Ferguson has been indicted The Harper articles at tractcd much attention throughout the country and were widely copied and commented on The facts pre seated by Mr Day have not been im peached Ferguson in an editorial utterance stated that the conditions as pictured in the articles existed in Maine since Mr Day was in a posi tion to know whereof he spoke and then the editor of the National Pro hbtlonist proceeded to make a wan ton attack upon the moral character of Mr Day imputing to him offenses so ridiculously and shamefully false that the state of Maine of which Mr Day has been a widely known and honorable resident all his life is in dignant on his behalf Among the friends of Mr Day who wrote from all parts of the country to urge him to take steps to punish such reckless vilifiers was Colonel Henry Wattep son of Kentucky whose name ap peared in the libelous editorial as one who felt that Mr Day needed the endorsement that Colonel Watter son had given him in the Courier Journal At the suggestion of Colonel Watterson Mr Day engaged H H Huffaker Esq of Louisville an able attorney and a personal friend of Colonel Wattersons and with him proceeded to Chicago armed with complete refutation of the charges contained in the organ of the prohi bitionists The indictment followed promptly and the case has been marked for trial in the early fall of 1909 Tr taking this step says Mr Day I am not actuated by any mere spirit of revenge I am not conducting campaign against prohibition as a cause nor do I hold any brief in de fense of the whiskey interests I wa asked by reputable publishers anx ious to put facts before their readers to describe conditions in Maine aftei nearly sixty years experience in at tempting to enforce the prohibitory law On the appearance of my first article President Roosevelt summoned me to Washington and in interviews continuing parts of two days com mended my manner of presenting real evidence before a grand jury com posed of the thinking people of the United States He urged me to con tinue the presentation of the case in view of the great interest of all thd states in the question and said that he had been recommending my ar tides as the best exposition of the evils of politically nursed prohibition When I expressed my unwillingness to subject myself to any more of the abuse that the radicals and fanatics had begun to pour upon me he urged me still more strongly to go straight on and not mind them In their fail ure to find arguments to meet my pitiless facts the bigots who are mak ing a profession out of prohibition have been slinging their mud at me I have picked out the most heinous offender a man whose attack is the climax of slanderous invention and propose to find if there is law enough in the land to protect a writer whe asks only the privilege of free dis cussion of an open question T have more to say upon the sub ject in a novel that is to be issued later by Harper Brothers and by clearing the atmosphere with this suit for criminal libel I would like to as sure myself that enterprising fanaticd will not begin accusing me of murder or treason when my book appears Having in my discussions carefully refrained from all personalities though sorely tempted by striking ex amples of prohibition malfeasance I am invoking the criminal law to as sure to me like respect a respect that a more just and courteous and less desperate antagonist would grant without being choked into such a con dition of grace Crime Epidemic in Alabama Portland Argus The report of the attorney general of Alabama furnishes authoritative evidence of the sort of progress this i southern state is making under its new prohibition regime It is not ol the sort to encourage belief that th6 states new departure will usher in i the millenium Contrar3 ise There is a marked increase in criminal of fenses for the two years covered by the report over the previous or any other like period of time for which the attorney general is unable to offer a satisfactory explanation A marked increase in criminal offenses this is the cold fact in Alabamas short prohibition experience but waves of hysterical sentiment are not stopped by cold facts for a time at least mjjwmTiWfMwmiwa PUZZLE OF THE AIR Changing Currents Shown by the

ascending cold waves descending and through it race erosa shoots and diagonal shoots with cork screw whirlwinds wandering hither and yon as they list The warm air oil a cornfield creates one kind of a disturbance off plowed land it ere ltes another A layer of cold air may jold down a layer of warmer air Consider what happens when the warm air breaks through its envelope as a millpond bursts its dam A liow ing stream churned to and fro and round and round and up and down would give a feeble idea of the airs inconstancy Now a bird circling with lixeti wings lloats on a rising column of 5r It maintains its altitude as to the arth but it is constantly coasting town through the airs ascending vol ume Once the bird loses the air col uiii it has to lap its wings and it laps till it finds another column when it goes on wheeling again with lixed wings Moreover when it Hies the wind conies toward it in waves rising and falling like the billows of the sea It meets them and then it does pre cisely what a boat does goes over them or goes through them The Wrights learned all this and when lieyd learned they were about as iear to lying as you and 1 would be to writing Chinese philosophy

Amusing Passage Between Villich and Rosecrans There are times when the so called red tape of the army gives way tin der the stress of circumstances At the battle of Chicka manga Jeneral Willich who was commanding a bri gade incurred the displeasure of Jen oral Rosecrans the commanding gen eral by some very slight omission General Willich was sent tor and in rornied by the general commanding that he must consider himself under arrest for the present General said Rosecrans sternly consider yoursell under arrest and leave your sword here until your case is tried Yes general 1 will consider myself under arrest was the reply and shust so zoon as dis fights over Ill come and lix him up Rut sir said the astounded Rose crans 1 want you to consider your self under arrest now Of course I do responded Willich promptly and so zoon as I get off dis light Ill be up and settle him But sir expostulated the com manding general 1 cant let you go into this tight You are under arrest 1 will send an officer to your brigade You send an officer to tight my boys cried Willich indignantly He cant do it They dont know him Me they know I teach them 1 light them and none of the boys would know how to tight or what to do only when 1 go with them My boys be long to me yes me General Willich I command the brigade and I must light the brigade Geueral Rosecrans gave it up Gen eral Willich was requested to return and fight his boys which he did most successfully And that was the eud of the matter Youths Compan ion They Dont Like Rain The tortoise shows a greater dislike to and fear of rain than any

completely by surprise dear est Well yes it has I long ago aban doned all idea of if Life ADVERT oUiltziM WOULD NULLIFY LEGAL WES For the first time In the history of the campaign for state wide prohibi tion a prohibition paper has just admitted that so called coun ty option is county prohibition This admission was made in a late number of the Nebraska Issue which is the organ of the Nebraska Anti Saloon League An editorial un der the caption of Our County Op tion Bill undertakes to explain the terms of the county option bill the league will present to the next legis lature for action We quote from the editorial the following sentences The proposition is so phrased as to submit the question of county pro hibition to the vote of the people at a legal election The strength of the bill is in the unique phrasing of the proposition to be voted on it is this Shall this county become anti saloon territory the vote being yes or no If a major ity vote yes thereafter no licences are to be granted within tue county If by any chance a coun ty fails to become anti saloon terri tory it doesnt vote wet It simcly does not vote dry All laws remain as before and all dry territory within the county remains dry This is not another liquor law It is distinctively a temperance prohibi tion measure The reader will note that this bill is styled a county option bill by the prohibitionists and yet the language used by the organ of the Anti aoon League makes it clear and self-evident that it is impossible for the man who casts a ballot for the wet policy to have his will registered in an election as contemplated by the bill In view of this fact why is the votei to be given a ballot enabling him tc vote No For no other purpose than to deceive All votes cast for the dry policy will have the full forct and effect that every legal ballot ought to have in any state but the votes cast for the wet policy are to be shorn oi full force and effect This means that all the voters who may wish to favor the license policy are to be dis franchise In many counties a ma jority of the voters would cast bal lots for the wet policy under the pro posed law COUNTY PROHIBITION Omaha World Herald October 25 Thanks are due the ladies of the W C T U for plainly and unmis takably defining the liquor issue as it will be presented in Nebraska next year Those who are for prohibition and those who are against it those who are for county option and those who are against it are alike and equally interested in knowing exactly what it is they are fighting about Nobody wants to win by taking an unfair advantage and no victory would be permanent that was won by befogging the issue and deceiving the people Mrs Frances B Heald the presi dent of the state organization in pleading with the national organiza tion to indorse the stand in favor ol county option which the Nebraska W C T TJ has taken made this frank statement The Anti Saloon League county op tion bill was submitted to the execu tive committee of the state W C T U and found to be county prohibi tion and nothing else The officers of the Anti Saloon League have pledged us their vord that they will join with us in working for state wide prohibi tion the minute this county prohibi tion bill is passed This makes the issue so plain that he who runs may read vounty option is desired first nol because it is county option but be cause it is county prohibition As soon as county prohibition is obtained the advantage thus won is to be used immediately to advance the campaign for state prohibition which if successful will wipe county option out of existence The one is to be merely the step ping stone to the other Without county prohibition the prohibition forces believe it would be extremely difficult to secure state prohibition But with county prohibition they are confident it will be impossible to de feat state prohibition Right of Trial by Jury Louisville Courier Journal The state of Alabama which has been in a condition of aberration for some time now proposes to with draw right of trial by jury in an ef fort to enforce the Fuller law pro viding for the abolition of liberty in the interest of an anti liquor crusade While the right of trial by jury is customarily spoken of as inalienable it is so only when a state of sanity in the body politic is presumed The federal constitution protects the right against violation by congress and the federal judiciary but except as they are restrained by their own constitu tions states may abolish the jury sys tem The extremism expressed in the Fuller law made it plain when the bill was passed that the forces behind it were slated for ultimate defeat The next exploit of the fanatics was to inaugurate a movement to amend the Alabama constitution in the in terest of the Fuller law Now comes as a logical development an effort tc gain the desired end by denying the accused liquor sellers the right to be tried under a system that has stood for some seven centuries in the most highly civilized countries despite its admitted defects Anti prohibitionists in Alabama should hail this latest de velopment joyously It will hasten the otherthrow of the opposing forces THE IIS PECCA rjv A Fierce Creature Is the Sgi American Wild Boar HE IS SMALL BUT FEARLESC Will Attack Man or Any Animal In istence on the Slightest Provocatm and Will Fight to the

remained in possession for hours the men watching them from safety in the trees The peccary or South American wild boar is the smallest of his species av eraging about three feet long nor is the animal possessed of any unusual degree of strength To make up for the natural individual deficiencies in combat with the more powerful ani mals of the jungle the peccaries al wavs travel in lame herds When once attacked by a herd of peccaries thej outcome is neany always death to their enemy The little pigs are armed with short sharp tusks and no matter how great the slaughter of their own num ber during the melee the herd stay ou the job until the work is finished Travelers in tropical and South American countries tell of fierce en counters between the peccaries and the jaguar the monster cat which is lord of the forest The jaguar has a fond ness for a diuner of pork but a whole some respect for the power of a herd of wild pigs When he wants to sat isfy his cravings for a pork diet he drops from a limb of a tree on to the back of a straggler iu the peccary herd The jaguar slays his victim and then retreats hastily to his tree be fore the herd can get at him When the herd grows tired of waiting for him to come down and moves along rhe jaguar descends and enjoys his meal at leisure Frederick Selous in his romance of the animal world has an interesting account of a fight be tween a jaguar and a herd of pec caries The peccaries had the jaguar treed on the limb of a tree from which the bark had rotted away Lie was only a few feet above them and by harassing and jumping at
