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

FROM WASHINGTON TO COLON.
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.

south of the fr line, insects and plants
can live through the winter. 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

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. We crossed
the river into the French quarter of the
city, We were surprised to find many
