A WELL-TIMED STAND. The latest “clipsheet” which is issued free to newspapers by the Board of Temperance, Pro- hibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has for its leading article an editorial review the November elections which, by the it not interpret showing any reaction Prohibition. Among other things it In Ohio League a of does as way, e told, the Anti-Saloon hearty rebuke and the voters registered their wet sym- pathies by rejecting law said to give jurisdiction to Justices of the Peace in certain including offenses involv- ing liquor . cases . In Ohio, it seems that the Anti- Saloon League did approve a measure in- volving the fe Justices of the Peace. That bad odor all over the United State if we are not mistaken the voters preparfd to reject it whenever it found on the ballot. The rural dry dis- tricts of Ohio joined with the cities in condemning the plan. Once again we will say, just by way of illustration and not to seize an opportunity of ex- pressing an opinion on matters on which we are not perfectly informed, that it is probable that we would have voted with the hundreds of thousands of called wet Ohio voters who will cer- tainly once again strike heavily at the liquor interests at the first opportunity. Commenting on this pronouncement, the Cin- cinnati Enquirer, which was one of the leaders in the fight against the Marshall Bill and to which much credit is due for its defeat, ironically remarks that the “board is not -mistaken, but it has been rather slow to ammounce its con- yiction in this respect.” It calls attention to the stand taken by the Boards of Temperance, Prohibition and Moral Reform to the Tumey bill, championed by the jate Wayne B. Wheeler before the Supreme Court and declared unconstitutional, supporting Wheeler and the Anti-Saloon Leaguc Intensive propaganda was conducted by Methodist min- fsters in Ohio in favor of the Marshall bill, and §n Cincinnati and Hamilton County the Leagu fight for the adoption of the measure was formally ‘endorsed by the associated ministers of the coun- ty and city. Nor did the board or its officers, sgo far as could be Jearned advise and instryct the Methodist ministers of the State to refrain” from supporting the measure which, after it was - defeated by some 400,000 votes, is declared to “in bad odor all over the United States.” Righttully gratified at the defeat of the tous bill and proud of’ the part it played nistering that defeat, the Enquirer con- . 80~ The Board of Temperance, Prohibi- ‘Morals and Reform has now a " to come saying that it would oted against the Marshall bill. did not attempt to assist jts defeat amd the people fgwe it mot even slight thanks wy e | the Treadwell and |jt would seem strange if ® |pertain to prohibition will_promptly or irregularity | the | nd also th survey | 81 size whellmed the Anti chief supporters | November.

His thoughts are about their last outrage. They want to abolish the donkey as the emblem of the Democratic Party and substitute the eagle. Being unreasonable, as women are, they give what they call reasons for the desired change The dear, loyal donkey is “umsightly,” and its character does not exemplify the party virtues. True, Democrats have a deep affection for the stubborn, patient little beast, but the women do not think of that They will throw him out just because he offends their esthetic sensibili- ties and put an arrogant bird in his place. The indignant philosopher may as well ac- cept the change cheerfully and hope the new symbol will betray the women. There was one eagle, m. ot of a Wisconsin regiment, and af- fectionately called “Old Abe,” who lct the outfit down by laying an egg. So the women’s bird may hatch unexpected trouble for them. Prettifying the Democratic Party is a man- job, It would be just like the women to try to do, it. Many men would lLelp them, if asked. Women are not the only ones who ‘“‘fix up” the offices where they work. A company devoted to furnishing business quarters has at present a window display showing the latest thing in Presidents' offices. It has the usual desks and chairs, in a cottage sciting, with a boulder fireplace, dimity curtains and sprigged wall paper, Unlucky philogsopher! He and the ugly donkey will have to go.
