MOVING
DA
IS
BLAMED AS CAUSE
OF DIVORCE EVIL
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. C
Moving day was doplcted na one of
tho greatest foes of modern society
and one of tlio cardinal reasons for
dlvorco nnd vice by John B. Ham
Jnoni) o( Dca Moines, In nn address
today before the International Purity
Congress.
"ho rc-rstalillshmcnt of tho Atucr
lean home is the only remedy for the
Boclal evil and tho only hope of demo
cracy," ho snltl. "The constant shltt
'Jiir of families from one section to
another prohibits tho long ncnunlnt
nnco among' young people through
proper life pnrtners can bo selected.
"Young people are thrown into
contact with strangers, become bold
nnd practlco deceptions. As the re
Biilt marriage frequently is con
tracted on a guess. Tho deceptions
nro discovered and lead to tho di
vorce courts and too off to immoral
ity." Jlr. Hammond said: "Tho con
stant dlmlnutlou of homo ownership
among our people and the destruction
of tho privacy of tho family life is
the greatest menace threatening our
free Institutions today."
Tho tenant system is responsible
also for much labor trouble, ho tald.
"About 770 per cont of our pcoplo
nro actual tenants and dependent on
speculators for tho roofs -which shel
ter them," ho said. "Thlrty-fivo per
cent of tho, families In our cities move
at least ono annually."

UAIt IIARHHOR Me., Nov. C.
Tho three months stay here of tho In
terned North German Lloyd steam
er Kron I'rinzcssln Ccclllo ended to
day when, convoyed by tho United
States destroycrti Terry and Latribon,
sho started for Doston. Tho weather
' vaR fair with a modcrato breeze,
when tho steamer with one destroyer
a thort distance ahead nnd the other
close ubtcrn, departed at I a. in. It
-was expected sho would reach Uoston
lato in tho afternoon.
Tho chango in tho port of Intern
ment was ininlo because It was con
sidered that tho nuchorago hero
would bo dangerous during tho win
ter storms.
ion in Oregon is tho
Lt was tho result,
of woinon ushig thoir nowiy givon weapon of tho ballot to
vote tno saloons out ot ox-istonec a result that, oan ho ex
pected in every equal suffrage state, sooner or later.
Xine-tenths of tho wonion of Oregon voted for prohibi
tion the most of them boeuuso they sincerely believe that
with the elimination of tho saloon the demon rum is also
eliminated, and no matter how much statistics and figures
prove that prohibition is an economic fallacy and does not
necessarily prohibit, argument to that effect is wasted.
Back of the prohibition movement is the church mili
tant practically every denominational preacher becom
ing a political agent for the cause and organizing his con
gregation for a systematic battle to aid prohibition.
Against such a force, when aroused perhaps the most pot
ent in the nation, reason and energy are alike wasted.
rl he average prohibitionist is sincere, lie really be
lieves that he is reforming the world and that mankind can
be improved upon without. Regarding his own standard
as pertcctiou. he would force all the world to contorm to
it. Jle yould measure the appetite of the world by his own
and limit it accordingly. Denied the saving grace of
humor, ho cannot comprehend what a strange figure he
would recast out of this old "world. .
Prohibition is a recrudescence of the puritauism of the
pilgrim fathers. It is an effort to make everybody out
wardly good along certain narrow conventionalized' lines.
It will undoubtedly havu to run its course, just as the kill
joy puritanism.of Cromwell's time ran its. course,, and other
semi-religious hypocritical crazes have run their course
so we might as well make the best of it.
!If we have to get along without the saloon as an insti
tution we might as well adjust ourselves to the new condi
tions. "Wo have a year to make the readjustment and de
vise other means of raising the public revenues to supply
the deficiency caused by a loss of revenue. The saloon is
not the cornerstone of civilization, and we can get along
without it. just as other communities do.
There is no use in wearing a long face or believing that
the state or eitythns gone to hell." As a matter of fact,
the saloon act ufllly creates no revenue, though it draws
revenue from the surrounding locality to the city, and
leaves a percentage that helps defray public expenses.
luce is no reason why Aledtord should not be prosper
ous under a dry regime for prosperity lies with the peo
ple to create and depends upon their energy and industry.
At any rate, we have got to do what we can to make .Med
ford prosperous, and once the period of readjustment is
over, there is no reason to doubt but that the city will bo
more prosperous than ever.

J)llit. Always iQo,
THERE are crumbs of comfort for all political parties
as a result of the recent election save for the progres
sives, who were successful only in California, but every
where else lost ground.
The democrats, while losing many of their surplus
members in the house of representatives, still have a com
fortable working majority and have increased their ma
jority in the senate. This is an unusual proceeding for an
off year following a program of. tariff legislation, and indi
cates popular approval of the administration's course. The
MeKinley tariff, the Wilson tariff, the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, were all followed by defeat of the administration in
power.
The republicans have regained much lost ground and
secured the return of many of their most reactionary load
ers to congress, while the reactionary leaders of the demo
crats met deserved defeat. The triumph of fannon and
Sherman in Illinois, of Penrose in Pennsylvania and of
numerous other republican staijd-pattei's, shows that the
republican partv has become the reactionary party of the
nation, as the defeat of Glynn, of l?oger Sullivan and other
reactionary democrats purges tho party of this element.
Th progressives won in California alone through the
personality of lliram. Johnson. Even his strength failed to
elect a progressive as senator. As a consequence, those of
the progressives who are sincerely progressive will drift
into the democratic, party and help make it, as it has be
come under Woodrow Wilson the real progressive party of
the nation, while those who are sit heart reactionaries, or
who joined the party hoping to ride into power, will drift
naturally into the republican or reactionary party.
The sweeping gains of the prohibitionists, who have
carried Washington, Colorado. Oregon and Arizona dry by
immense majorities show the progress of the dry propa
ganda and indicates, sooner or later, the doom of the saloon
throughout the nation.
The equal suffragists secured some triumphs, though
complete counts arc necessitated to assert the actual gains.
tliu'kson county has reason to. congratulate itself upon
the splendid vote it cast for Senator Chamberlain and Dr.
Smith both by far the best qualified ,men for the offices.
Lt is a matter of regret that Dr. Smith was not elected gov
ernor, for he is an unusually high type of man to be seek
ing political office. His defeat is due to the large repub
lican majority and to the combination against him of the
saloons and the prohibitionists for the women, who voted
the state dry, also voted for Di Withy com be.
