The Colonel Johnsqn spoken of

than our honored and esteemed
friend “Uncle” Andy Johnson of

for the West to grow up with the

men are greatly interested in bet
’tering the educational system of
the nation, they haven't time to
give the subject the attention it
requires, so it fell to women to
take up the work. How well
they have succeeded is evidenced
by the large /number of States
that have passed*compulsory edu-
cation laws.

thitthe woman of the twentieth,

more towards making the world
better than men.

7 Any one who happens to wan-
der ower the block owned and be-
ing . worked by the Solid Gold
leasing company is likely to run
ac.oss an elderly gentleman of
heroic build and snow white hair
sitting on a box and intently en-
gaged in the somewhat unheroic
occupation of muddying up a tub
of water with a small egg pan full
of what appears to be very com-
mon or garden dirt.
The gentleman is Col. Johnson, )
who with his two sons> is among I
the .owners of the Solid Gold
lease. The Colonel is a Christian J
gentleman and Jsven his worst
enemy, if he has any, has never
accused him of being in league
with tha powers of darkness or
practicing the black arts, utbe
that as it may, the colonel has
the correct* formula for turning
that no account looking little
batch of dirt into a glistening
little trail of gold which has every
appearance .of. being the real
thing.
Then the Colonel will look up
and, it he were not a good Chris-
tian, it is more than likely that
he would give vent to some very
unchristUnlike expressions.If

they would be more favorably iiH
dined to investing the legislature
with plenary powers to deal with
the liquor question within its
own discretion and by progres-
sive action from time to time as
circumstances, expediency and
experience may advise—these are
details which should receive
darefnl deliberation at the hands
of those who desire a workable
and satisfactory remedy for the.
evils of the whisky traffic. We
do not now presume to offer
specific advice, except bv way of
suggestion that while the ques-
tion is being considered it ought
to be studied seriously to the end
that-some/permanent good to
morals and citizenship may be ac-
complished in this State in many
conflicting and contrary condi-
tions.
The main point now in mind
is the principle of the people's
right to express their win up6n
any question of important polit-
ical and civic .consequence.
Not only is this correct in the
abstract, but if it is generally ac-
cepted, the clash of a prohibition
campaign will be postponed until
a special election in 1909, when
the issue can be settled upon its,
merits without complicating
other matters of State or national
concern which are to be, deter-
mined this year.

minority remains to be deter-
mined by the vote upon the
amendment itself, but manifestly
they constitute kbody sufficiently
numerous and potential to be en-
titled to an opportunity to test
public opinion upon a great ques-
tion of civic and social life.
This view is so elemental in
popular government that we can-
not conceive a .justifiable opposi-
tion in the absence of formal in-
structions from the people.. We
understand that the prohibi-
tionists intend 4o have the ques-
tion of submission voted upofi in
the Democratic primaries this
year by observing the prescribed
rules for obtaining an expression
on any proposed legislative ac-
tion. . If that is done the legisla-
tor who is faithful to party in-
structions will be guided by . the
vote of the primaries.
Whatever the plan of action, in
the absence of contrary instruc-
tions from the people, we hold it
to be the plain duty of legislators
to submit suchim amendment
as the friends of State prohibi-
tion propose.
x In respect to the form of the
amendment, it is to be hoped that
the prohibition leaders will be<
