(?'etillernen: Wo bei; to call your at tention to the fact that The Advertiser is printing more papers now titan ever before in it-; history. Our circulation has far surpassed Ihr most sanguine expectations that wc inn) have enter tained. Unqualifiedly we make the assertion thai the number of bona tide subscribers now on our lists by far exceeds thai of any oilier paper In the whole territory: indeed. The Vdu'tliscr lias dropped from its lists since April 1st of In si year, a num ber that iVOIlId make up the entire subscription list of an ordinary coun ty paper.

With no Intention of "hutting in" on the discussion that has been waging between The state on one siib ami ib.- Walterbot'O Press and Standard ami Itev. N. \. Burton on the other, as to what ihe next legisla ture mould do in reference to state wide prohibition, we cannot refrain from saying one or two things, espe cially sine.' The Advertiser has ad vocated a statewide |a\V on the liquor question, ami did so bar.; before the tec r! legislature; passed the wonder ful coinproiuls The Columbia Mai" contends that it would be a breach of good faith for dei : : . i way. Now. would il fir would it not be a i .' .-ieh Of the. com .'l omise for the ? le law? While wji do not figrec with The Slat'.' in every point 0.1 (is argument, II or vvIth its conclusion ihm it would be hi d faith v. ? ?in :>??.!? ?-? with it in the i moral conclusion, iliai Ihclegis laltli'O (Might not to pass tin law. Il Would hot !- ? bad fail!) for the reason i'..a! lb ? doings of the io?.Q 'legislature are not bill iin.q on the leg islature of I?I0, While ? is the same riody, in its personnel, it is not the same in its relation to tie- state. We believe that tbe matter of slate. wide prohibition should bo submitted to the people of tbe slat-- in the elec tion next fall: that issue, by itself and cbarly defined. It would carry; yes. And prohibition would he forced on those six counties all the same; yes. Then what is the advantage, ?me may Inquire; why not let the leg. Islatlire ko ahead and pass the law, if we are s^ire that, state vide prohibi tion Would carry in a general elec tion? The difference is this: if the matter is submitted to the people, and wins, it has their endorsement ami support just as the local Optlftn vic tory of 190(1 lias. We regard this moans as tbe only logical and fair method that (tlQ prohibitionists fan adopt. That leads to the rpiestion as to whether or not a statewide law is democratic. And. as we have often argued, the state is a sufficiently small democratic unit to have just one law on this subject. Here we agree with the Press and Standard and Mr. Min ion, that it Is not democratic for the effects of a law in one county to i>e nullified by a contrary or conflicting law in another and contiguous county. The Advertiser advocates statewide prohibition, but it docs not subscribe to what Is said and doi by a great many prohibitionists in the state. We want to see the law on our statute hooks, imt we are particular about tin' means ein ployed to secure it. ? ? ? TO MAN AUK Ii W VI.I.At K.

However, these same people do not like to pal up with the tuinoyances that occur at every event at the opera house.
