An amerind is not, as any one

That is tamarind. An amerind

society in Washington, and in

of Yesterday" is denounced by a
reviewer of the Evening Post be-
cause all through his book he
speaks of Indians as amerinds

ought to be ashamed, and there
seems TO be due basis for that
opinion. A got up name like am

Fresh Confusion Arises.

Vienna, Nov. 2-The Czechs
deliberate declaration of war on
the cabinet has caused fresh con-
fusion in the domestic situation in
Austria. The nationality feud is
still the most prominent factor in
the state. The elements interest
ed in maintaining the antagonism
between the Czech's and Germans
never abandon their subterranean
work. The ultramontanese and
reactionists are busy behind the
scenes, There is every reason to
believe that the ministry will stand
its ground and will work for the
security of the commercial and in
dustrial interests, unless hampered
by domestic crisis.

these things; we must not have the

They are not needed there; we can
manage in some other way. England
manages, as regards the uniform,
and SO can we. We have to send
soldiers-we can't get out Of that
but we can disguise them. 1t is the
way England does in South Africa.
Even Mr.. Chamberlain himself
takes pride in England's honorable
uniform, and makes the army down
there wear an ugly and odious and
appropriate disguise of yellow stuff
such as quarantine flags are made
of, and which are hoIsted to warn
the healthy away from unclean dis
ease and repulsive death. This
cloth is called khaki. We could
adopt it. 1t is light. comfortable,
grotesque and deceives the enemy,
for he cannot conceive of a soldier
being concealed in it.
And as for flag of the Philip

flag, with the white stripes painted
black and the stars replaced with
the skull and crossbones.

THE WHISKY TRAFFIC.

III ~1~0A ZNA<TZC.
The crusade being made BY Mrs.
Nation against the saloons in the
State Of Kansas furnishes another
evidence that prohibition is q fail
ure. Newspaper reports show that
in the large centers there are more
saloons run in defiance of the law
than there would be If made to pay
a reasonable license. The recent
outbreak of the saloon wreckers in
the Sunf1ower State will have the
effect of suppressing the ''joints"
only temporarily. After the excite
snent will have subsidized the ..joint-
lists" will resume business at the old
stands, and it IS safe to say that
they will not be molested until the
next crusade, when Mrs. Nation or
some other fanatic will be given an
opportunity to add to the gayet, of
the world BY MASKING things in the
manner and form SO dear to the
heart of the Kansas reformer.
The whisky traffic is an un-
doubted evil 1t is the cause of
much trouble and sensible and
thoughtful people desire to check
it as much as possible. But in ITS
effort to enact laws to restrict the
evil, the State has to deal with two
kinds of extremists. One is as
dangerous as the other. One kind
consists of those people who would
have whisky as free and plentiful as
milk. The utter decentralization
which would follow SO unwise a |
policy need not be described. for
it is advocated only by those outside
the pale of reason or blinded by
selfish interests
The other class Of extremists are
the fanatics who are responsible for
the disgraceful condition of affairs
n Kansas. These insist upon abb
'olute prohibition. They are i'm
oractiC ables who, In their efforts to
destroy the evil, shut their eyes to
'eason and common sense, and
lttempt to do the impossible. They
would change human nature, and,
~ means of sumptuary laws, make
lngels Of US all.
The extremist who wants to flood
he country with whisky is as un-
easonable as the person who wants
20 whisky at all. Both are IRENE
liable cranks.
We believe that happy medium
these two extremes is
cached by reaso. ably high Ii
