LOCAL OPTION, Altoona Times. When the voters of Pennsylvania went to the polls last November they had choice of voting for Martin G. Brum- baugh, who bad personally declared bim- self favorable to the enactment of local option, and who had accepted a plat- form which was silent on the question, and Vance C, McCormick, who not only had pledged himself in the event of his election to devote his gerviece to the sue- cess of local option, but whose party platform contained ‘an unqualified and straightforward declaration favoring the principle. As everybody knows, Mr. Brumbaugh was elected. During the campaign and up to the day of election it was a mattter of eom- mon knowledge that the liquor interests of the state were solidly back of the Brumbaugh candidacy and that what- ever money they contributed went into is campaign fund. If Mr. Brim ugh was not aware of this fact, then, ndeed, it must be admitted, he must have deliberately closed his eyes to a condition that was perfectly patent to every intelligent observer. As though to remove the having been the candidate of liquor interests and of baving been the bene- ficiary of their influence and their money, Governor Brumbaugh immediately upon assuming began an energetic campaign for local option, and temper ance workers who had previously con- demned him forthwith retracted the harsh things they had said and accepted him as a | pired leader in their crusade { ior laws e been known to » legislat re which November was whelmingly hostile to local option legis- Sufficient votes had been pledged against it to defeat any propo- gition, no ter how moderate its pro- visions, designe » revise the Brooks There. was positively » methods emg y the be succes and if the governo i it know fact also hi sacient as of his admi Und governor absolu minded in his stigma of fice ofiice, the had over- governor that been elected this some r 38 ices, was the honest and single- ofessed loyalty to th the 118 state deceived » local option agi- I I vouia HOE a polcy of nse, or does Ds lerstood that hie alone in i of what burg was ould happen on the It was stated by mirers of the governor that he did everything wit his power to advance the cause of tem perance reform, But did he Is not the fact that t vote for the Williams bill was less than had been conceded by ti liquor interests proof that in almost four months of agitation he failed to win one vote to the } his BILLION WiC ine HIrOD Ph 0 whole mockery of the govern- nda is disclosed by the e that the fate of local option ever in He knew it and emperance leaders knew it. question is, therefore, would the have be:n so diligent in his of the question had local had a fighting chance ?

The city of Washington is one of the most beautiful of cities, the National Capitol, architecturally, is one of the finest buildings in the world. While the Congressional Library is one of the most beautiful. this building is unique. Everything is so well proportioned ; its adornments are not so lavish as are those of the State Capitol at Harrisburg but they are better arranged; they fit together so nicely that they are scarcely noticed individually, and you simply feel that here everything is beautiful. Pillar apd arch, painting and statue stairway, balcony and dome, vaults, ceiling and inlaid floor, are all just exact- ly as they should be to give you pleas- ure, and a sense of satisfaction. The Washingt monument towers above every building and can be from every part of the city. The streets, named by the letters of the alphabet, run due east and west. I'he numbered streets run due north and south and the avenues run diagonally across these streets, This is a great ad- vantage to the traveler who wishes to go to a distant part of the city. A large massive, well designed union railroad station compells the traveler to take the proper train for his journey. We crossed the Potomac over the famous *' Long Bridge,’ and noticed the Robert E. Lee cstate, now used as the Arlington cemetery. Pine forests abound We could not see much since we passed through tire distance at night One of the th noticed in Carolina was the | number © It seems that they have a larg t. of “ Six footers ’’ than is no: The country is ol seen © where. country { en-~ every of the nearly vie 188 arge men. 8 per cen 0 ticed anywhere else. rolling and, in parts, I'he farms worked by negroes They plow ell as with horses.

The wheat promises a poor crop ; the corn had been planted ; the oats was up and promises a good crop No fences are to be seen enclosing fields except her there around a pasture lot. Some very nice gardens, but few number. It see: i 08 Keo 8. bh oxen as w 1UsE JUBL ns goats and have a garden around it.

The grow- ing season is longer, hence we saw corn big enough to be worked, and we also saw them planting corn and plowing sod, presumably for. corn. ln Cuba you can plant corn any time and be: reason- fsureof a crop. We saw farmers vesting corn for the f{udder. The was in tassel and they cup it and 1 it to Havaoa for feed. In Mississippi and Louisiana we noticed many pecan orchards, Peach trees grow wild in Georgia, at least we saw them among the common forest trees, We spent two days in the city of New Orleans. Fine palin trees grow in the streets. Many trees are draped with large clusters of Florida moss. The people seem especially kind and sociable. While sitting in the shade of LaFayette Square, a southern gentleman began a conversation with me which ended in his inviting us to his home. He seemed anxious to entertain us. Instead of go- ing with him to his home we went to the baseball park where we saw the mayor of the city toss the first ball and we wit- nessed the first game of the season in the southern league between the New Orleans team and the Birmington team. The score was 7 to 3 in favor of New Orleans. The business houses in New Orleans compare favorably with those of any other city. The dwelling houses are not s0 fine—~they have some very fine houses but a larger percentage are not as sub- stantial as in cities farther north, Vegetation is very rank. We saw some thisties higher than a man. They are in all stages of growth, too—some just through the earth and others scat- tering their seed. We saw the steamers unload bananas. A derrick over the ships’ ha ches let down into the hold an endless belt more than a yard wide, Pockets or loose folds were provided in this belt every few yards. A bunch of bananas was placed into each pocket as it came along the hold of the ship, The endless belt revolving carried the bunch of bananas up out of the ship, and over into a large storage building where the bunches were picked up and stored away. Two men, one at each end of the bunch, handled them.
