III rnrting company with tho old year, it is
veil to recall Soma Of the moro conspicuous
events that enter into its history. 1t is nota-
bic rs the closing year OF the first American
century, though the formnl celebration will
not bo held until next July. The most fitting
aud encouraging circumstance VIC recall in
connection with this pllaso Of its history is
tho complete pacidcaton Of tho South. The
gear 1916 opened with tho danger OF a Be-
rious disturbance ia Louisiana. It WAS tho
4th Of January when Gen. SHERIDAN assumed
command at New Orleans, and by his
prompt md courageous treatment Of affairs as
hc found them first assured tic preservation Of
peace, and opouel the way for subsequent
adjustment Of tho snnrl into which tho two
conscudiug factions had got themselves. For
nearly two months tho Louisiana nIaira were
ngain the topic Of Congress-, productive Of
debates that sometimes lasted through tho
night as well as day. Finally The contention
between The two PARTIES was settled on =
bass since known as the *tWuExlEn Conf
promise" which guaranteed KELLOGG his po-
sition NJ Governor, aud adopted q rule for
tho organization OF the Legislature which
subsequently placed it in tho hands Of tho
Democrats. Yle Louisiana settlement hatl
good influence In Arkansas aud Mississippi,
aud for the last few months Of the ycar there
have been better Indications OF permanent
reAce anl self-goyernmcnt in tho South than
at any tinlo 4nco tle War.
Thu national legslation Of tAls country

grcss which closed March l, 1915, consists

which, unfortunately, has not yet baen done.
| Tue Other notable Congressional measuros
were the Little Tariff bill, which, under the

which increased tho tax on whisky and

such an avalanche Of corruption in public

last Ten years. In evo'y department Of tho

ciAl business tho attempt Ia ret rich by fraud
Inns becn widespread nutl general.
The collection Of the royenuc OH spirits WAS
improved by the reduction of the tax, a1nl
total change Of revenue officers. For a while
tho reform progressed, bnt tho evil doctrine
tlaat thero was no moral turrituslo IN robbing
the public Ind been too generally accepted,
nnl tic men cbnrgctl with the collection of
tho revenue grasl,nlly yielded to tho tempta-

gain. Certainly rs far baek ~ ls71, in cer-
thin rlaccs md al various datcs elsewhere,
tho business Of dividing the Government Tux
between tho revenue officers and tho n,ann-
fncsnrers Of spirits begun, md has been rcgu-
larly carried on ever since.
We do not untlerrate nor apologize for tho
criminal conduct Of tho men engaged in
making spirits. So general was tho business
TINT there has not been q day for several
years when whisky could not bo bought In
any Of tho largc markets at prices which pre-
clutled competition from tho tax-pnfd spirits.
4 man who could pnt one.fourtl, or third,
or ono.half Of his wliskcy on tho market,
paying the tax on the remainder, could sell
stock ut an average price fnr below TINT on
which full.paid tax whisky could be sold, and
make large profit,-a profit SO large TINT
ha could we'll give to tile resenuo officers

lawful salo Of untazcd whisky possible with

corruption, we may assume, proceeds from
tho roycnno officer. lie makes his donaud
