of the bar, and in 1912 he removed to Peters

TEMpERANcE.- Revenue returns in Ohio
give new phase to the temperance crusade.
1t is shown that, in cons, qucrce of the fierce
onslaught made on the driukiug places by the
crusaders, receipts from internal revenue taxes
have fallen off in eleven districts at the rate OF
more than $3.50, 900 per month. The revenue
derived from distilled and malt liquors in those
districts is estimated at about eighty per cent
of the whole amount collected. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the falling off in consumption
has been quite large. When the whole account
is adjusted, however, it will be found that the
loss i only apparent; that though the Govern
mcnt has lost small amount in revenue, the
people have gained more largely in the reduc-
ton of the expenses. But. dan.
