The Evil of Pairing.

The river and harbOr bill never
would have passed the House over the
Presidents veto had all the mem
bers, or even a fair attendance, been
present. In the House there were 30
members paired, 45 against As; now as
the constitution requires a two-thirds
vote to pass a bill over the veto, it
gives negative votes twice as much
weight as affirmative votes. Constitu-
tiOnally, it is great wrong for man
who has IL negative vote to swap it off
for one affirmative one when the con-
stitutiOn estimates the negative vote
worth two affirmative ones under these
circumstances. Thus if ten more MEM
bers equally divided had been present
in the House, the vote instead of being
l22 TO SO would have been I27 to "a,
and the bill would have failed of pas
sage. If the whole 30 had been there,
the bill would have been defeated with
30 votes to spare. In the Senate the
vote for the bill was heavier than in
the House, and if the Senate had been
full, it would have been very close.
The majority for the bill in the House
included n republicans, AZ democrats
and greenbackers the contra mind
ed were - republicans, % democrats
and greenbacker. In the Senate %
democrats and Is republicans voted
for the bill, II republicans, 3 democrats
and independent against it Spring
field Republican.

Vermont Poor Territory for
Liquor Drunmers.

The Orleans County Monitor has the
following, which will be read with in
terest: Recently, while riding in the
cars from SwantOn to Burlington, we
fell in with drummer whose face
plainly indicated that he might belong
to that class of commercial travellers
who do not patronize temperance ho-
tells. We learned from his converse
ton that his line was liquors, and
that he found Vermont an exceedingly
poor place for his business. He found
that it did not pay to stop at any of
the small towns and enumerated only
st. Adams, Burlington, Rutland, and
one or two other places, where it paid
him to stop. We were glad to notice
that he did not find it profitable to
come into this section of the state and
found it unpleasant business in Yer
mont. Speaking of New York, he said
he had frequently sold $1,000 worth of
goods i'll day, at good prices. This
is not a remarkable incident but it
plainly shows one thing, which some
men deny, and that is, that the people
in this state where the odiOus-to
liquor men--temperance prOhibitOry
law is only fairly enforced, is very poor
territory for liquor drummers.n

Temperance Notes.

A law just passed in Denmark pro
vides that all drunken persons shall be
taken home in carriages at the expense
of the landlord who sold them the last
glass. Now that is civilization.
Kansas, which got the first prohibi
tory amendment, remembers that a
provision specially authorizing the
Legislature to establish prohibition
was considered by it's first cOnstitu-
tiOnal convention, twenty-three years
ago. 1t was finally rejected, however.
Georgia thinks it had the first pro-
hibitory law. In August, 1913, when
the settlements were less than year
old, reports of drunkenness led the
trustees of the colony, living in Lon
don, to ordain that "The drink of rum
in Georgia be absolutely prohibited,
and that all rum which shall be
brought there shall he STAYED"
Gov. Foster says that it costs Ohio
three millions of dollars a year to sup
port its poor, and that twO-and-a-ha
millions of that is directly chargeable

Mr.. Muhlhanser in his speech to the
brewers stated that the production of
beer in Ohio last year was 100000
barrels. Reduced to kegs this is
6,OOO,OO0, and to glasses 690, zoo, 600.
This is sold at five cents per glass and
aggregates S34, 500,0OO. The retailers
profit is 100 per cent. What costs the
consumers S34 ,000, 900 costs the retail
ers Sl7 100000. The amount of beer
manufactured i'll the state, according
to Mr.. Muhlhauser, is equal to 225
glasses for every man, woman and
child in Ohio.
