The report of the war investigating
committee and its conclusions remind
us of suit begun at Monona, in Clay
ton county some 40 years ago. in
which the State was plaintiff and g.
person charged with lifting" a pair
Of pants from in front of store was
defendant. Norm Chesley was en-
ployed for the defendant, a change of
venue being taken and the case going
before court not very well posted
upon the rules of evidence or its adj
instability. The State introduced
two persons who witnessed the theft.
For the defence twenty or more wit
nesses were called who testified that
they saw defendant in Monona that
day but did not see him steal any
thing. Chesley moved the discharge
OF the prisoner on the ground of a
preponderence of testimony and he
was acquitted by the court. Two
witnesses who saw the beef testified
that it was embalmed beef, scores of
illnesses who never saw it testified
that it was good, and like the Monona
case there was a preponderance of
testimony in favor of the department
defendant.

Ii SO, aud you are a father with grown

not disgrace them by allowing your
name to be printed on whiskey

children in your home, remember the
words OF the poem, Goods vengeance
if certain if Slow Take care that
your bright boy does not grow up to
fill drunkard's grave, brought there
by the influence of father who
wanted the open saloon. Perhaps you
are a young man just old enough to be

Remember, if you have your name

1t will stay there monument to your

what position of eminence you may

you will be ashamed Of. Your name
was once printed on saloon petition.

that the good work has already begun,
petitions are being handed in by those
who wish their DANES withdrawn.
Many of the men whose names are On

themselves that they are wrong. When
once convinced, their names will soon
be removed 1t only remains for the
temperance people to do their duty,
be brave and fearless in the cause of
fright. How dare we be otherwise
with so great a danger threatening
us? If this evil is not averted we will
soon see many home broken up,
many man ruined financially and
morally, many a child left fatherless
and destitute; and many mother
whose head is bowed down with grief
sitting silent and alone through the

Cannon on War Taxes.

In reply to direct question as to
whether he saw any prospect of a
reduction in the war taxes, Mr..
Cannon said:
"The gentleman and myself will
serve in the next congress if all goes
well with us. In my opinion he and
I will return to our constituents at
the close of that service without
having seen any reduction of tax
alton"
The term of the next congress will
expire on the 4th of March, 1901. So
that the chairman of the committee
on appropriations offers no hope of
an abatement of the war taxes, which
are now yielding about $l70, 900, 900 a
year, for two years to come, though
the war ended six months ago.
Asked by another colleague the
estimated cost of the military estab-
lishment for the next fiscal year, Mr..
Cannon gave the figures at $145, 0OO,-
600 for the army and $42,O0O,0OO for
the navy, from which there is no
escape, ''in view of the obligations
that rest upon us in our outlying
possessions" With $148, 900, 1000 added
for pensions, the grand total is $685.
600, 100, or one-third of the Thousand
million dollars which our national
expenditures are rapidly approximat-
ing, This equals the war budgets of
Russia, Germany and Italy combined
1t is within 100000 of the combined
war budgets last year CT France,
England, Austria and Spain.
Asked again if he had included in
his estimates, showing deficiency
for the fiscal year of $4,000, 600,
''any increase of revenue in the way
of receipts from Porto Rico, Cuba or
the Philippines, Mr.. Cannon
answered that he "did not look for
any appreciable revenue from those
sources"
1t is small wonder that Mr.. Cannon
should have called halt on the
Nicaraguan canal project and the
proposed ship bounties.-Des Moines
