Extreme Inconsistency
The Oklahonja Issue, the
official organ of the Anti-Saloon
Leagues, says, "We shall do
absolutely nothing either in favor
of the adoption or rejection of
the constitution." Yet this
same League has done its level
best to commit the democratic
party, which is now the rec
ognized pro-statehood party, to
the cause of statewide prohibi
tion. That the position assumed
by the Anti-Saloon organization
is extremely inconsistent is
most certainly apparent to ev-
ery reasonable thinker. The
statement quoted above seems to
be a confirmation of the asser-
tion that has often been made
that the organization in its official
capacity is simply a one-idea
institution willing to sacrifice
every other principle of human
rights, prosperity, happiness
and life to that one idea. But
what more can be expected from
an organization which will import
from abroad as its supreme
leader and chief manipulator a
man who has no local interests
whatever in the state-to-be,
who is a hireling, a paid lobbyist,
and who came to the territory in
the role and razzle-dazzle of a
carpetbagger? The chief pro
mot era of the organisation make
their living by prohibition agiu
Ik*, and it appear* from the
article ia the Oklahoma Issue
that tbey are affrmid that if state
hood is granted aad prohibition
is made statewide tbey wiM be

Till* la Ignorance and pnnuinp
lion gouo to seed. It aliowa tho
caliber of the men who are pilot-
ing the organisation. Uongreaa-
man I^tndis of Indians, a repub-
lican, slated while ill Oklahoma
that another enabling act might
not be granted in 50 years.
Furthermore, whatever may be
our theories as to the advis-
ability of prohibition, congress
has no constitutional right to
impose statewide prohibition in
the enabling act of any state;
and prohibition in tho Indian
Territory found its way in-
to the enabling act by rea-
son of certain treaties with
the Indians when the govern-
ment made them its wards,
and by tho hope of certain re-
publicn leaders in congress who
thought possibly it might be the
cause of the people themselves
defeating statehood—even then
it found its way into the enabling
act by a very small margin.
Should another enabling act be
necessary, it is quite possible
that it will contain no reference
whatever to prohibition. But
"a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush," in this case seems
not to have any consideration
with these fellows who make
their living by temperence
agitation.
There is lots of good business
judgment and mnch consistency,
isn't there, in an organization
spending its money and labor
for the adoption of a prohibition
amendment, at the same time
making no effort for the adop-
tion of the constitution, when
the value of the amendment rests
in the adoption of the cons-
titution? It looks to a man
up a tree very much like
the leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League are interested more in
the endorsement of an idea than
in the accomplishment of a
| reality.
Tfce management of the
whiskey campaign are using
| more horse sense; they intend to |
• take no chances. It has been >
given out by one who is on the
inside, that the management has
already advanced $n.O0O to the
state organization of the negro
suffrage league, an anti-state-
hood organization, to be used in
their fight against the eonstita-
tioa. But the Anti-Salooo
1 rsg-ar which claims to he
fighting for a Bore righteous
euw, disavows any interest ia
the adoption *»r r»*)wrllo« of Ihv
t-ona|imttun. and will do nothing _
to iiifiaeiteo th*> election one w»>
ur the nlher. Tliey will he sslLa ■
fled, according lo tlie uflk-ial
ataleinent printed laat week In I
their official organ, the Ok lahoma
Issue, if the majority of th«
voters csat their ballots for tin
prohibition amendment, u<>
matter whether they vole for or ■
against the constitution.
Yet there are people who argui
that prohibition is a political:
insue and that tho democratic'
party should come out and tak< 1
a jHisitive stand for the measure, j
liudicttl prohibitionists havt i
accused tho party of equivocal I
ing and straddling becuuse it
took a linn stand for the sub |
mission of tho proposition to a
vote of the people. But the
Anti-Saloon League is not
equivocating or straddling when
it refuses to take a stand for or
against the constitution! The
League is evidently affraid to
take a stand for tho constitution
lest they offend the hypocritical
and partisan republican members
of the organization, who have
joined the anti-statehood knock
ers.

Norfolk's Population.
A New Yorker who had attended
the opening of the Jamestown exposi-
tion was strolling along City Hall
avenue in Norfolk the following even-
ing. He had become Impressed with
the fact that Norfolk Is booming. On
every hand large and substantial
buildings greeted his eye.
I wonder how many people there
are In this burg?" he murmured to
himself. Soon he came upon an aged
darky. The New Yorker stopped him
and said: "How many people live in
Norfolk?"
The darky looked at the stranger a
few moments and then replied
thoughtfully: "Well, cap'n, dere's
'sposed to be 'bout 50,000 peoples
hyeah, countin' de white folks."

Medicine of Bamboo Sap.
In India the sap of the female bam
boo is used for medicinal purposes.
"Tabasheer," or "banslochan," is sold
in all Indian bazars, as it has been
known from the earliest times as a
medicinal agent. It is also known In
Borneo and was an article of com-
merce, with early Arab traders of the
east. Its properties are said to be
strengthening, tonic and cooling. It
has been analysed and has been
shown to consist almost entirely of
silica, with traces of lime and pot-
ash. From its remarkable occurrence
lo the hollows of bamboos the eastern
mind has long associated it with mir-
aculous iKJwers

simple planting of a tree! It is firs' ,

Deadwood To-Day.
"The Impression that Head wood,
S I) Is a 'bad' town is a very grave
mistake," said Col. W. 11/ Parker, rep-
resentative-elect from that state. "I
have lived there :!0 years and I have
never seen anything very different
from other western cities. Some
years ago there was a great deal of
gambling, but it was never licensed
as it Is in Montana and Wyoming.
Now, however, there is little gara-
bling, and Deadwood Is one of the
most orderly towns I have ever seen.
1 understand there is a popular belief
that there was such a man as 'Dead-
wood Dick,' who was the head of
many thrilling adventures. If he ever
lived in Deadwood or South Dakota
I never knew him. He v.-as a crea-
ture of some writer's fe.-tile brain.
Deadwood is a growing city of about
fi.000 people. It is separated from
Lead City by an Imaginary line. The
latter city has 10,000 people, and it is
not improbable that some time the
two cities will unite."—Washington

Beat This If You Can.
"Speaking of warm winters," said a
subscriber who visited the office of
the Lewiston Journal, "do you recall
the winter of 1S32? In that winter I
went to school from December until
March barefooted, with nothing on
but linen liants and a cotton shirt.
Atid it was so hot sometimes during
recess that I took ofT my shirt. In
that winter, Christmas day I picked
eight quarts of ripe strawberries in *
field opposite my fathers house in the
town >>f Turner, and I near had a sun-
stroke. It waa ro warm that winter
th -y forgot to hold the annual state
leiislatu e at A-iausta." The faithfel
chronicler added that he slept all
winter ■ nhoat : clothes and the
mosquitoes bit savagely.
