A five-thousand-dollar touring car with a one-horse engine will make better time than a twenty-thousand-dollar business with a one-horse advertising policy. Adams county farmers are well pleased with crop conditions. The rains and warm weather have been , mixed up just about right so far and visions of a great harvest bring smiles , to the face of every farmer who has passed a winter of hard times. Geneva, following in the footsteps of Partland. Hartford City, Montpelier. i and other towns, to catch the anti- , fever, has started after the saloons with an earnestness that means sue- : cess, in the undertaking. From all reports they made a new record in the work, securing a sufficient number of signatures to the remonstrance cards in one day. Nine European countries are represented in an international congress of the opponents of pornography—one word for licentious literature. The ■United States was not invited because its laws are already far in advance of those of Europe in prohibiting this soul-poisoning, debauching, suggestiveness to vice. The European movement is a healthy indication of the progress of reform in the world. It is but a short time since the death of Galusha A. Grow, who was speaker of the house of representatives from 1861 to 1863. There are now but two surviving ex-speakers of the lower house. J. Warren Keifer and John G. Carlisle.

BY BIG MAJORITY The ‘‘Lid Men” Carried Democratic Convention by Storm IN WASHINGTON Favor Amendment Prohibit ing Sale and Manufacture of Liquor

Spokane. Wash.. May 28. —Prohibitionists in Washington are in high glee today; in fact, they are jubilant, having won their fight against the liquor traffic hands down. As a result of the action of the republican and demccratic state conventions in Spokane. the last few days in pledging their parties to local option and pro hibition it is not likely that the “drys” will place either a state or county ticket in the field this year. John Anderson, the foremost supporter of the prohibitionists in the northwest, announces it is probable that the party will merge its interests with one of the two dominant elements or indorse the platforms of both, giving its adherents the choice between local option or absolute prohibition. The only question raised is the sincerity of the old line parties in their stand on the liquor proposition. The prohibitionists polled less than ten per cent of the state under the new primary law at the last election. The situation presented in Washington by the action of the democratic convention in declaring for prohibition is a peculiar one. They instructed their delegates for William Jennings Bryan and resolved in favor of the weighted lid following the fiercest floor battles seen in convention in the last ten years. Politics is an earnest game in the northwest and the people of Washington take it seriously. “Sumptuary legislation.” as proposed in a platform amendment offered by former United States Senator George Turner, of Spokane, who presided over the democratic convention, was knocked into a cocked hat and thrown onto the high shelf with a lot of other broken things. Then came the fight. The plank in the platform, as adopted by a roll call vote of 601 to 93. follows: “We favor the submission to the voters of Washington of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture or sale of spirituous liquors within our borders.” W. H. Dnmphy. of Walla Walla county, was indorsed for national committeeman. and these delegates were elected to the Denver convention, with a half vote each: A. R. Titlow. Pierce; L E. Bignold. Chehalis: Fred E. Baldwin. Spokane: Dan Paul. Douglas; George F. Christensen. Adams: A. G. Mitchuni. Lincoln; and Charles G. Heifner and F. A. McDonald. King. • .

PASSES CONGRESS The Aldrich-Vreeland Bill Goes Through House at Eleventh Hour OPPOSED BY MANY Democrats and Fourteen Republicans Voted Against the Bill Washington. May 28.—8 y a vote of 166 to 140 the house of representatives passed the Aldrich-Vreeland composite currency bill. It is believed the same measure will pass the senate teday or tomorrow. What is regarded by some Republicans as the best day's work of the session was finished up in short order. The house gave the country an example of how it can do things when the speaker and the leaders determine to act. just as it has too often in the past shown how it can kill time and not do things. In a little more than two hours altogether the lower branch read the report of the conferees on the new bill, debated it, had a roll call and adopted it. Fourteen Republican stood out against the measure. Many more did not like it. and under other circumstances might have had the courage to vote nay. But with President Roosevelt urging every member of the party to do all in his power to secure results, with Speaker Cannon using his influence as the leader of the house in the same direction and with the fear of the possible consequences in November should a currency stringency come in October, only fourteen men on the Republican side had the nerve to stand up and be counted with the opposition. The fourteen Republicans who had the moral courage to set their own opinions against the party policy were: Brumm. Pa.; Calderhead. Kan.; Campbell. Kan.: Cooper. Wis.; Darragh. Mich.; Fowler. N. J.: Henry, Conn.; Hill. Conn.; Lindberg, Minn.; Morse, Wis.; Murdock. Kan.; Nelson. Wis.; Prince, Ill.; Waldo, N. Y.
