The Cfrcular-ArHument for the
Liquor Traffic.

Liquor Trafhc.
The agitation for the suppression of traffic
in liquor becomes greater and more aggres-
sive every day. The trade has submitted
quietly to injustice and abuse, making little
or no efforts to defend their rights. The OBJ
ject of this agitation is TO outlaw all persons
whose capital is invested in the manufacture
or sale of liquor, by enacting prohibitory
laws in this State restrictive or destructive of
the right of the citizen to engage in those &C.
equations. The proposed object and reason for
the crusade which is being preached is to
eradicate drunkenness. The history of the
world shows the failure of laws to attain
this end. For $50 years England and the
United States have tried every means known
to legislative experiment to regulate the
traffic, and remedy the evils of strong drink
Yet, under the continued hostility of church
and State, the Legislatures and courts, press,
pulpit and forum, the traffic has steadily in
creased from century to century, and from
year to year, until in the United States it
has reached an annual average expenditure
of more then $500, DOC, 900, aud the annual
production in Tennessee of 1921 ,646 gallons
Of spirits. Governmental interference has
failed 10 retard its growth and de-
velopment, and its failure is conclusive
as to the utter futiity Of the effort by legisla-
ton to accomplish such reforms, as in their
very nature are only TO be wrought out by
culture and education. As is seen from the
report of the United States commissioner of
internal revenue, Tor 1851, IN all The states
OF the Union there are places Tor selling
ilauor, no matter whether the laws are pro-
hibltory or not. 1t Is remarkable that the
number Of saloons, IN proportion to the pop
ulation, Is smaller IN the SOUTH where there

THE cow ORDINANCE
should BE Extended 10 All the Wards
AIike-PartiaI Legislation Is
Unconstitutional.

The new form of government for the citi-
zens of Memphis is acknowledged to be the
best the world has ever known. So 1t is in
the main, but, like all other forms, is liable
TO errors of judgment in le9islating for the
most good to the greatest number. This is
plain. as it applies TO the Taxing District
Legislators, in the ordinance recently enacted
concerning rowing cattle, hogs, goats, etc.
The law is good enough as far as it goes,
and no doubt will accomplish much good in
protection to shade trees, flower and vegeta-
Bile gardens, etc, within the limits OF the
eight wards of the old city, to which its
penalties are confined. But the question
arises, if il be good thing in those eight
wards, why would it not be equally good
in the two new wards-the Ninth and Tenth?
Have the citizens of the latter wards no
claims upon the Council for protection
against the devastation of their prem
ises by rowing cattle? Perhaps the members
of the Council will argue that it would
be a hardship upon the poor classes of the
Ninth and Tenth. With due Difference to
their opinions we must differ with them to
the extent that this law will be equally as
much if not more a hardship upon the poor
OF the eight wards-greater in number and
with far less conveniences for taking care of
their animals than those living 10 the more
spsrsely settled districts embraced in the
Ninth and Tenth wards. We know of no
other excuse they could oHer, unless II be
manifest in the apparent disposition to let
the Ninth and Tenth wards take care of
themselves in protecting their shade-trees,
fower-plats, gardens, etc, as they have had
to do in their street improvements and sani-
tary regulations In the latter, we have it
from reliable authority that these wards
were never contemplated in the estimates for
the sewer service. But to return to the COW
ordinance-we would gladly publish any
rational reason Why the Ninth and Tenth
wards were excluded from the benefits of
the COW ordinance, or, if it be good
thing in one ward why it is not
in another. Our opinion is there
should be a quietus put upon the roaming
COW, hog and goat, and that citizens of the
city proper and the suburbs should be en-
couraged to plant shade trees, cultivate
flowers, and be protected in their economic
efforts of raising vegetables; and the greatest
that could be extended to
them would be the suppression of these
voracious brutes. As the law stands now the
Ninth and Tenth wards are the pastures for
the animals of all the other wards. Let the
benefits of the COW ordinance extend to all
the wards, or do away with it altogether.

Working Mechanics,

tion AID Ruin Upon Women aud
Children, Wants Protection.

Mr.. William r. Moore, Of Nashville, has
been in the city for some days for the pur-
pose OF organizing society or association
OF liquor dealers, wholesale and retail, for
the purpose OF seif-protection against prohi-
bition and any other extreme 10 which radi-
cal total abstinence people may resort. A
circular issued by George NJ. Jackson, presi-
dent of the Liquor Dealers and Distillers'
Mutual Protection Association of Tennessee,
issued at Nashville on the oath of Nav last,
explains the object OF the association to be
purely defensive and protective. They pro-
pose no crusade upon anybody that may
differ with them; are demanding no legis-
lation restrictive of personal freedom, either
OF opinion, speech or action. They simply
propose TO take all necessary measures to
meet and defeat the attempt to destroy one
OF the most important manufacturing inter
ests in the State, and drive large and infiu-
entail class cut of legal business in
the quixotic attempt TO make people
sober by law. The objects of the organiza-
ton are TO demand for all the enjoyment of
the personal and civil liberty guaranteed by
the constitution of the United States, and OF
our own State; to demand for the manufac-
turer and dealer in beer, wine and alcoholic
liquors the same protection and privilege
which accorded 10 every other branch Of
business; and to organize a Protective Liquor
Dealers and Distillers' Association in every
county, to resist the enactment of laws I'M
justly or oppressively restrictive of the
liquor traffic, and for mutual aid and pro-
lection.

One Of the Old Guard.
A VETERAN WHO Forear USpER NAPoLxoN
AT AusrERLrrx.

Yesterday morning an old gray. haired man,
carelessly and rather shahbily attired in .
suit Of old-fashioned pepper and salt cloth,
with military overcoat thrown loosely over
his shoulders and fastened at the throat, ap-
peared upon our streets. Upon his head he
wore soft white wool hat. cooked in true
military style and quite elaborately orna-
mented with feathers from some thoroughbred
chanticleer's tail.
Although naturally he attracted great deal
of attention, there were but comparatively
few who heard of his remarkable history. At
four O'Clock in the afternoon he dropped in at
the office of the Daily News, and informed us
that his name was Captain j. Zouaski. and
that he was one of the original followers Of
Napoleon. He is a native Polo, torn at War
saw. July 4, li9l. At the age Of 2l he en-.
| tered the Army of Napoleon, and was with
| that wonderful commander in the famous
| campaign of 1912. He took part in the mem.
| orahle march from Paris to Moscow, and was
| in the battles of Austerlitz and Leipsic. In
| subsequent years he served under kossuth in
| the var for Polish independence, and with
other Poles was banished to Asiatic Turkey.
He came to this country on Nov. IL, 1851,
and served as drill master at West Point until
the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion,
when he took part in the memorable battles
Of that civil and bloody conflict under General
Franz Sigel for four years. At the close Of
the war he had $500, and wandered through
the country mostly on foot, seeing the sights,
and finally brought up in San Francisco.
where he was put upon the police force and
there served for six years and nine months.
One exciting circumstance of his police life
he related, and his eyes snapped as he told il,
relative to the killing by him of two Balti.
more roughs whom he detected In the act of
burglarizirg a large jewelry store in San
Francisco, and who refused to go with him.
He says he shot them down like dogs and the
people stood by him for it.
He is now vending his way toward West
Point, where he wants to visit the cadets once
more. From there he will go to New York
and pay his farewell respects to General Sigel.
after which he intends going to Montreal and
thence back to France e.-Poughkeepsie News.

The Worlds Guano Supply.

The worlds supply of true guano is
nearly exhausted. In recent public dis
cussions of the diplomatic policy of our
government in South America, and of the
extraordinary pretensions of the organiza-
known as the Peruvian company. it has
usually been assumed that the guano beds
of Peru are still of boundless extent and
of incalculable value. The province of
Tarapaca is supposed to be altogether
composed Of guano and nitrate beds, and
some of the estimates put upon the value
of the deposits in the Lobos islands fairly
make the head swim. These extravagant
assumptions have, unfortunately, no foun-
dation in fact. The supply of Peruvian
guano may hold out 10 or 20 years longer.
but those who are best informed make
the limit somewhat shorter. The ex-
portation began in 1912. Only 1872 tons
were shipped in that year. In 1852 the
amount shipped to England which has
always controlled the trade. had risen to
435. 900 tons. The Chncha islands were
the earliest source of supply. More than
100000 tons had been gathered on these
islands up to 1872, when only $50, 900 tons
remained, and Peru closed them to foreign
shippers, reserving the trifling amount
that was left for her own use In the four
years succeeding 1870. over 1000, ,OO0
tons were shipped from the Macabi and
Huanape islands. and in 1875 Only half a
million tons remained. The Lobos Islands
have been the source of the shipments el
the last five or six years, though the
Ballestas group have yielded small quan.
tity of highly ntrogenized variety. In
1877 it was estimated that the total
amount of guanO remaining on the
Peruvian mainland and the islands
did not exceed 100000 tons. 1t has
lately been asserted that the Lobos Island.
supply is nearly exhausted. At any rate
it is sufficiently evident that there are
limits to the quantity of guano which we
can expect Peru to furnish. There is nc
other known spot on the earth where the
article is obtainable in quantities large
enough to pay for exporting. Two con.
ditions are essential to its production
rainless climate. in order that the soluble
phosphates may not he washed away. and
an unfailing supply of fish in the ocean
near by TO supply the TODD of the innumer.
able hordes of penguins. cranes, divers
comorants, flamingoes and other sea-hunt
ing birds of similar habits. whose accumu
lated excrement forms the deposits o
guano. If Vhese conditions exist any.
where else than on the coast of Peru, the
prying eyes of trade have not vet dis
covered the fact.-Industriaf RerieU.
