ator Vest of Missouri and Senator
Morgan of Alabama are well under
stood by those who know the ropes
in Washington. The story is told of a
new senator who had been offended by
a colleague and who approached Sen
ator Vest and said: Isn't Jones the

man from Missouri is reported to have
replied: Il can't say. You know l
am pretty thoroughly committed on
that proposition to Morgan. "-Leslie's

IN PROHIBITION STATES

The United States official reports
contain some interesting figures con-
corning the liquor traffic in Maine,
Kansas, New Hampshire and Vermont
prohibition States There are 1,151
retail liquor dealers in Maine, which
means one liquor dealer for each SOB of |
the population. In New Hampshire
there are ass dealers, or one to every
1913 persons. In Vermont there are
/, 408 dealers, one to each l ,058 of. pop
ulation. In Kansas there are 2,756
dealers, or one to every 53S persons.
These are United States Government
figures Recently at angle term of
court in Portland, Me-. 294 indictments
were returned against liquor dealers.
These figures indicate that the liquor
dealers are doing a lively business
in the oldest prohibition State in the
Union According to the report OF
the United States Commissioner of
Labor for 1897 the municipal license
fees and special taxes on liquor for the
benefit of the municipalities in Maine
amounted to $8, 806. The fines collect
ed for the benefit of counties amount
ed to $50, 964. This makes total of
over 800, 200 the towns and counties
received from the liquor traffic, which
is prohibited by the fundamental law.
The State received nothing except 1860
for estate agency" whatever that
may be. For the same year the license
fees or special taxes collected by coun-
ties and municipalities in Kansas from
liquor dealers amounted to $5,807,
and the fines collected for the benefit
OF counties and municipalities amount
ed to 1886, 454-a total revenue from
the liquor traffic to towns and counties
of 1892, 262. The State did not re-
ceive penny. These figures, it would
seem, indicate that 1t requires some
thing more than constitutional prohi-
bltion to abolish the liquor traffic.

London, June 5.-The negotiations
