Each of the seven states which out lawed the liquor traffic January 1 Is fortunate In having a govornor who Is heartily In favor of prohibition and will uphold the law. Governor Carlson of Colorado sayi he will enforce It even to the extent of calling upon the Btate militia. Gov ernor Lester of Washington urges an, appropriation of $00,000 to be used in enforcement. Governor Withy- . combe of Oregon expresses confidence that an overwhelming majjirity of the citizens of the state mean to sea that the provisions of the law ero lived up to and that they muy count upon his help to the utmost. Governor Alex ander's vigorous championship of tho statutory prohibition law of Idaho Is well known, and his personal Influence was used to secure tho referendum on the constitutional amendment to be taken next November. When Covcrnor Hay of Arkansas 9igned the prohibition bill, he suld: "I believe the most mnnly act of my life, nn act that will mean much to mo, to my conscience, to uiy wife, to my two .title boys, and to the people of the state to which I owe so much, was the act I performed when 1 placed Buy sig nature to the bill which gave Arkansas stutc-wldo prohibition." Tho attitude of Governor Clarke of Iowa Is Indicated by bis remarks when he signed tho measure repealing the mulct law and putting Into effect state wide prohibition: "Tho banishment ol the saloon ought to mean the emanci pation of many a laboring man. the joy of the wife In his home, better conditions and a better outlook on life tor his child." South Carolina's governor in his New Year's grecllns declared that, "With tho help of God and the sup port of the pcoplo tho prohibition law shall bo rigidly enforced so long as I am governor." WATCH YOUR LIDRARY. While getting ready to Inaugurate a prize essay contest, a V. C. T. U. womnn investigated tho public local library to see what tho children would find in the way of reference boohs, and discovered that of ten books on tho temperance bhelf seven were against total abstinence and prohibi tion. Among these were "Religion and Drink," "Drink, Temperance and Legislation," "A Text Hook of True Temperance," "Alcohol, the Sanction for Its Use," "Prohibition, the Enemy of Temperance," "Prohibition, Its Re lation to Temperance," "Cood Morals and Sound CoverumenL" The local union immediately called the attention of the library board to the incon sistency of permitting tho liquor Inter ests to teach Intemperance through, the city library, when tho law express ly provides that the children shall be taught In the schools the evil effects of drinking liquor. SHINGLING HIS OWN ROOF. Chaplain McCabe once told the story of a drinking man. who, being In a saloon late at night, heard the wife of tho saloonkeeper say to her huslrnnd: "Send that fellow home; It's late." "No, never mind," replied the hus band, "ho Is shingling our house for us." , The Idea lodged In the mind of the drunkard, and he did not return to tho saloon for six months. When passing the saloonkeeper on the street, the latter said: "Why don't you come round to my plnce any more?" "Tbnnk you tor your kind hospi tality," replied the former victim, "I've been shingling my own root lately." RUSSIA 13 PRESSING. If America Is to lead tho vnn of civ ilization Into tho promised land of pro hibition, slio must make haste. Auto cratic Russia has shouldered her out of the front rank, and It Is high tin; a for the voice of tne people to speaK to speak overwhelmingly, and to speak where tho voice of the people Is heard.
