PROHIBITION AN ISSUE.
"Drys" Will Fight to Prevent
^ "Wets" Getting Foothold.
Prohibition, after 30 months of
-4? existence in the United States,
still is a political issue. That the
"dry" leaders are apprehensive
about it is demonstrated by the
recent appeal sent out by the legislative
committee of the AntiSaloon
league to all friends of
prohibition enforcement to be on
the alert in the coming political
primaries in the North and West
and to see to it that men are not
nominated for Congress who
could by any possible influence
be induced to vote for a modification
of the Volstead enforcement
act.
No serious thinking "wets"
have any hope of ever overthrowing
the 18th amendment, which
merely declares for prohibition
and leaves it to Congress to pas.*
the law enforcing this condition.
But the "wet" leaders do have
abiding hope that the Volstead
act may be modified by boosting
the alcoholic content of permis
sible beverages.
In many States, and in more
congressional districts, the opposing
forces of the "wets" and
"drys" are arrayed against each
other about as they were before
the amendment was ratified, or
before it had ever been submitted
to the States. And in most "of the
campaigns where prohibition figures,
the success or the breakdown
in enforcement is the proposition
around which the debate
/ On the one side it is contended
that conditions have improved
enormously, that intoxication has
diminished, ami that by slow but
sure processes enforcement is being
made effective. On the other
side it is charged that enforcement
is impossible, that a great
majority of the people scoff at
the law and violate it without
compunction, and that worstevils
have grown up under prohibition
than existed before.
"With the utmost emphasis it
can be staled, and convincing
Af* evidence is to be seen on every
hand, that the 18th amendment is
being euforeed with greater success
thart was eVer conceived
possible in less than 30 months
by even its closest friends." says
Commissioner Haynes.
"The truth is it is being enforced
to such an extent that its
enemies are increasing their false,
countrywide propaganda, and
this fact alone is sufficient evidence
that the shoe is pinching.
It is scarcely necessary to point
out facts that are apparent to every
one, that the 18th amendment
is being enforced.
"The nnen saloon is a thiinr of

the past, ami even enemies of the
prohibition law admit it is gone
forever.''
- Savage Seri Indians.
Tiburon island, situated in the
Gulf of California,100 miles north
of the port of Guyuinas, Sonora,
Mexico, is inhabited by the Sens
Indians, a degraded savage tribe
subsisting on fish and turtle and
the deer which are found in the
interior. The island is a favorite
place for American hunters, explorers
and scientific expeditions.
The island is rocky and almost
devoid of vegetation with the exception
of brush and cacti. Various
prospectors have searched
the islaud for indications of oil,
but without satisfactory results.
During the world war it was
rumored that the Germuns had
elected a wireless station on Tiburon
island to aid in the supposedly
proposed invasion of the
United States, but the rumor was
never confirmed.
The Seris Indians inhabiting
the island are left almost wholly
to themselves by the Mexican
government ??nd live in a primitive
state. They are warlike and
feared by the neighboring tribes
on tlje mainland; they use poisoned
arrows and are said to practice
cannibalism. There are but
a few hundred of the Seris 011

"THE DATS OP '48.
The largest and longest pageant
ever attempted will be given
by Sacramento, capital of California,
from May 23 to 28. More
than 20,000 persons from every
county in which gold has beeii
found in California, and from
e\ery city and town which had
anything to do with the gold discoveries,
will take part. The city,
which has nearly 4*0,000 inhabitants,
will be the stage which will
he called "The Days of '49," and
a committee of 1,000 men and
women is now at work, while
more than 500 contractors, carpenters
and laborers are erecting
buildings for the affair. Fifty
engineers have planned mechanical
effects for the pageant, and
2.000 ladies of the capital have
organized the Days of '-19 club,
to wear the costumes of 75 years
ago.
The old city?or rather the village
of 1850, from which the present
city sprang?is being reproduced
on the water front, true to
all the details of a rare daguerreotype
made in that year. Within
the city, on a tract of land embracing
nearly 20 acres, is being
erected a complete replica of the
old mining camp of "llangtown,"
now known as Plaeerville,
also taken from a daguerreotype
of 72 years ago. In still another
part of the city is being constructed
an exact copy of Sutter's fort,
the central point of the greatest
gold rush the world has ever
seen, and also the cradle of California's
history of more than a
decade.

the forest trail along which the
first buildings in Sacramento
were erected many years ago,
will he converted into its pristine
appearance, by the erection
of false fronts on the modern
buildings, extending over the
sidewalks t o the streets, whHe
automobiles, motor trucks and
street cars will be barred from
the street, to add to the illusion
of the past. The hotels will use
six and eight-horse stages and
ox wagons for the week in place
of their motor buses in meeting
trains and transporting guests
about the city. A fund of approximately
half a million dollars
has been raised from the various
gold producing sections of
California, at id it is planned to
have the mining camp, Sutter's
fort, the old villuge of Sacramento.
and the reconstructed K street
open perpetually, day and night,
throughout the pageant, just as
the mining camps of the "roaring
forties" never closed.
The pageant will reproduce the
days of the gold rush with the
exception that city, county, State
and federal officials have agreed
that not a drop of intoxicating
liquor of any kind shall be al
lowed. There will be sulpons,
gambling houses, dance halls with
dancing girls, and everything
that went to make up a first
class mining camp 75 years ago.
The games of chance will be
shown in operation, but real
money cannot be played 011 them.
Many a boy who hasn't been
able to memorize the multiplication
table knows the batting average
of every big league player,
last season.
The trouble with many of those
who want to do something for
the community is that they want
to do it at the expense of somebody
else.
Teachers' Examination.
The regular spring examination
will be held in York on Friday
May 12th, and Saturday, May
13th, beginning promptly at nine
o'clock each morning. This examination
will cover only primary
and elementary licenses. The
high school examination will be
held later. The temporary permit
has served its purpose and
