A Wahr NIOralist.

The following is an extract from

that makes the black people drunk
is stuff that is mixed with spirits of

if you drink proper Kafir beer you
will never get drunk. No, not even

What would Eugene " Debs have
said if somebody had told him that
the vote he would poll as the socialist
candidate for president in 1900 would
be quintupled by that party in the
congressional canvass two years
later? And yet that is the very thing
which has taken place. Debs' vote in
1900 was $4,000. The vote for the
socialist candidates for state officers
and members of congress in 1902 was
considerably over 100000. Moreover,
there does not seem to have been any
especial effort made by the socialists
in 1902 to poll a big vote.

seen for centuries, are now being piled
by German motor boats. A direct line
of communication has thus been opened
up between Jerusalem and Kerak the
ancient capital of the land of Moab,
which still commands the caravan
routes leading across the Arabian
desert.
"There Is no doubt that German en-
terprise will also exploit the phosphate
fields situated on both sides of the Jor
dan, when transportation facilities
shall have been sufficiently developed
to insure success to the undertaking.
