Now what do these figures prove? Sim
ply this. that high license promotes an IN
crease In the consumption Of malt beverages
AMI a decrease In the consumption of whisky
and other liquors. II stands to reason that
the bootlegger and ~jointist can conceal
bottles Of liquor more readily than they can
kegs of beer. A bottle Of beer does not so
as far as a bottle OF whisky and moreover
yields very little profit. As a matter Of
fact the Brewers Journals figures are in
correct and misleading regarding Kansas.
The bulk of the beer traffic for Kansas is
done at Kansas city. Me, and the
beer sales Of Kansas City. Mo-,
are charged up to Missouri just as a
large portion OF the beer consumed In Iowa
is made in Omaha and charged to Nebraska.
Now let us institute the proper comparison
as regards the liquor traffic between Kansas
and Nebraska. The records of the collector
of internal revenue show that there we're is
sued for Kansas for the year ending June 80,
1892. 2.06S retail liquor dealer special tax
stamps and 432 retail malt liquor stamps.
For the year ending June 80. 1898, there
were issued 1851 retail liquor dealer stamps
and 1876 retail malt liquor dealer stamps.
This shows an increase in retail liquor
tNo'NiH Hh' W NNt''NN VI -'' tNa' N'
in beer vendors of three, or a total increase
of 292 dealers in liquor and beer during the
year 1898 in prohibition Kansas
In Nebraska there were issued for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1898, 1927 retail
liquor stamps and 1876 retail malt stamps, or
a total of 2,492, as against 2,792 in Kansas.
This year there is a marked decrease in the
number of retail liquor and malt stamps is
sued for Nebraska, the total since the begin
ming of the fiscal year, June, 1898, being
2,007. Whether this be true also in relation
to Kansas / have no means of ascertaining.
A public man may sometimes by a slip of
the tongue blunder into a misstatement, but
when a man recklessly juggles with Stats
tics to help sustain a theory or a doctrine he
~forfeits popular confidence. And yet the

quoted for the next two or three years by
advocates of prohibition as conclusive proofs
of the terrible consequences of the high Ii

DECREASE or E4RLY MARRIAGES

In a suggestive contribution to the current
North American Review, DIR. Cyrus Edison
brings home some very pertinent facts as
to the evil results of early marriages, which.
while in no way new, are particularly
timely and to the point during a period of
financial depression, which puts a damper
on the ardor of youthful spirits to rush into
the bonds of matrimony. DR.. Edison lays
emphasis upon the statistics which go to
show that early marriages are prejudicial
both to parents and offspring. Child-bear-
ing is one of the most severe drains upon
the strength Of any natural process and
nature must have time to prepare herself
for the ordeal. A reserve strength must
be stored up and that necessary reserve
strength is only to be found in adults who
have passed the full period Of growth. So
the observations that have been made in
various countries of the civilized world dis
close the fact that the healthiest offspring
is born of mothers between twenty and
thirty united to husbands between thirty
and forty, and that where either husband
or wife is under twenty the offspring proves
generally weakly and short lived. The
figures advanced to illustrate the age of
marriage in New York city for the two sue
cessiye years 1891 and 1892, II typical for
this country, place America in a more favor
able aspect than Europe with regard to this
matter. The average of the grooms is al
most 20 years and that of the brides nearly
24.5 years. The age at which there were
the greatest number of grooms was 25.29
years. and the greatest number of brides
21.24. Those under 20 were comparatively
few.
The advancing age at which Americans
marry is asc lied BY DR.. Edison to two causes.
First, the increasing freedom of the girls to
marry or not, as they please. The necessity
for a girl to marry in order to be supported
is diminishing as the opportunities to earn
her own liye.i ODD are vide ling. With inse-
pendence of choice comes an inclination to
The second cause is the gradual disappear
ance of the stigma that formerly attached
to unmarried women. The reproach of be-
ing a spinster is less keenly felt when the
retort is at hand that she could have married
had she wished. Both these causes are OPP
Grating to mitigate the evils Of early mar
riages here and abroad. but they are operat-
ing most effectively among American girls.
They give color to the law which some so
biologists have attempted TO formulate. that
with the progress of civilization the child
bearing age tends to commence later. cease
earlier and to result in fewer children, Of
which, however, a greater proportion are

The many and varied uses of the itemized

The many and varied uses of the itemized
cash account are being supplemented daily
by new instances of it's advantages. A
young business man who has been called
into a New York divorce suit as CORE
s~pondent is resorting to an ingenious ex-
pedient to clear himself of the stigma which
the plaintiff has sought to throw upon him.
1t had been his practice, he said, to keep
an itemized account of the minutest eX-
penditures during a period extending over
thirty years. The account was kept upon
small slips of paper and written in so small
a hand that it required ~eXertion to decipher
the figures. He began to write out these
slips when a child ~ or 10 years of age,
and acquired the habit of making them ac-
%curate, owing to the fact that whatever
sums were unaccounted for in his record
were deducted from his allowance for the
following week. These slips were brought
into court to show that he could not have
spent the money as alleged, which would
have been necessary were he entertaining
his friends on an extensive scale; also that
he had never frequented resorts where wit
nesses had sworn they had seen him. His
itemized cash account is thus transformed
into a defender of his reputation. The
moral is, keep track Of your various eX-
penditures.
