The Bill for Drink.

What the American people consume
in the way of liquids in each year is
a matter not alone of interest, but is
a cause for establishment. When it is
known as fact, from statistics fur
nished by the Treasury Department
aud collated by The American Grocer,
that the total amount spent for drinks
during the fiscal year ending June 80.
1908, was 81. 451. 633, 379. the wonder
grows as to where it all went, while
the capacity of the American stomach
will stand for the record of the world
Lest, however, it might be thought
that Under the term ''drinks" only
the liquids which are said to cheer
but not inebriate-a statement some
what at variance with factS-are in
cluded, it is to be said that the ex-
hllarating coffee, the soothing tea and
the nonalcoholic liquids figure up the
respectable minority total of sos. $780,
261. OF the remainder of the more
than billion. beer took up, or paid
out. 1927, O42, 245; whiskey called for
SAT-, 915.5 with wines bringing up
therear at s97, 9s5, $50. The figures do
not include the amount paid for whis-
key wasted in the arts. but the omis-
sion iS Immaterial, as the question is
one of consumption via the thorax and
not via the palette of the artist.

The Times reporter has discovered
that people who have never read his
paperin their lifetime will do SO just
as soon as an item they do not like
appears on its pages. Columns of
compliment, kind words and laudation
may be printed, but they'll never see
nor speak Of it. Let the reporter
write one sentence they don t like and
they'll be after him with a club al
most before the paper is printed.

A lawsuit growing out Of labor
troubles, reported from Brazil, Ind,
is believed to be the first of its kind
on record. A man who had been en-
ployed by coal company for several
years as hosting engineer, and who
was forced to resign bis position OH
account Of refusing to join the miners
union, has brought suit against the
United Mine Workers Association of
that district for IS, 900 damages. In
his complaint he alleges that the
union was responsible for his discharge
by demanding that engineers should
not be permitted to hoist at the mines
unless they joined the union. AS be
declined to do this, the company ac-
coded to the demand by discharging
him. Now he sues the union for dam
ages.

Every man and woman who pays
taxes in Ma.shall county this year
finds taxes increased very greatly.
This county is on. of debt and taxes
ought to decrease instead Of increase.
When voters 60 to tine polls next Nov
ember it will be well for them to re-
member that the board of commission
ers and the county council is solldly
democratic; all the county officers are
democrats and the township advisory
boards are democratic. All that is
necessary to reduce taxes is for dem
ocrats to vote for republican commits
sloners and for a few members of the
county council and the best men they
find on the republican ticket for coun-
ty officers. 1t is not best to have ev-
erything unanimous, even in politics.

Correspondence. 49, Again it has been
demonstrated that when union men and
women stand together they can win
any fight that is based upon reason.
It will be remembered that, at the re-
quest Of organized labor, the Peruna
Drug company, Of Columbus, O., re-
fused to renew it's advertising contract
with the notorious Los Angles Times
Evidently the Parry-Otis combination
proceeded to bring influence to bear
from various sections OF the country,
as it was not long until Per,lna inform
ed the unions of Los Angles that it had
decided to again advertise in the Times,
and once more It began to patron1ze; the
arch enemy of organized labor. Organ

Eance with Parry and Otis, and asked
that union men. and women everywhere

Lafayette, Ind, May 19.-M. P. Gar
rick. secretary treasurer of the Broth
erhood Of Painters and Decorators of
America, died last week. His untimely
death has brought forth expressions of
sorrow from the ranks of organized
labor the country over. Coming at 4
time when many grave and momentous
problems confront the Brotherhood, all
of which Mr.. Carrick was qualified to
handle because Of intimate knowledge
of them, his place will be hard to fill
He enjoyed the unbounded confidence
of the organization at large and was
instrumental in accomplishing much to
improve the condition of the members
of the craft. For the past two years
his time was wholly given over to work
in the interest of the brotherhood and
the solution of questions continually
arising in this transition period of the
organization.
In the latter part Of March Mr.: Car
rick went to San Francisco to evi-
dence in a case which is nd in the
courts in that city, and on his home
ward journey contracted a severe cold,
which, after his arrival home, devel-
oped into serious case Of erysipelas.
His constitution and nervous system,
which were greatly impaired by over
wark, were not strong enough to with
stand the ravages of the disease, and
after nearly three weeks of suffering.he
passed away. Ali unions and district

ciated with him in various ways for
over a quarter of a century and who
pays him the following tribute:
I'm the death Of M. P. Carrick our
organization has lost one of it's most
able and earnest workers.; and not our
order alone, but the entire labor move
ment has suffered an irreparable loss.
Mr.. Carrick was among the brightest,
ablest and most experienced men in the
movement. I will miss him more than
any one I know outside of my own
family. For many years we have been
warm personal friends, and for the past
two years and a half scarcely a week
passed in which correspondence in re-
gard TO matters pertaining to our
brotherhood, or the general labor ques-
ton, has not passed between U.S. We
Joined the knights of Labor about the
same time away back in the seventies,
and Mr.! Carrick soon forged to-. the
front, being elected recording secretary
Of our assembly. We had many hard
fight on the floor of the assembly, but
never became personal enemies, always
standing shoulder to shoulder in fight
ing the battles of organized labor. AS
time passed we became personal friends
and this friendship grew warmer until
the day of his death. always admired
Mr.. Carrick for his fighting qualities.
Whenhethought he a-saaiGea fl fl f1fl
When he thought he was right, he
would never let,:up until he had gained
his point, or was convinced he was in
the wrong. At the convention held in
Detroit, Mich, two years ago, he was a
candidate for reelection to the office of
| secretary-treasurer, and as one of his
| supporters I seconded his nomination
in a short talk which he always said
was instrumental in securing him addi-
tional support. He was elected for two
years, and last December was reelected
by a. referendum vote. Mr.. Carrick
made splendid officer, but worked
himself into his grave, Our brother
