DRINKERS
PAY THE FREIGHT.
Saloon Revenue Argument PunCtured.

LIS uOuIu, Iu0 OAICd6O III
bune recently, ''the drinkers and
drunkards of Chicago are contributing
the little sum of $3,250,0O0 to the city
hall. For what?" asks the great daily.
Why" it replies, ''to give them the
privilege of spending money for whis-
key and beer during the coming year.
All licenses are now on. The drinkers
and drunkards-they are certainly
closely allied, for the former often de-
velop into the latter-must pay $500
license for each saloon.
"True, the saloonkeepers are the
ones who nominally pay the money to
the city collector, but it is simply cash
advanced. The drinkers and drunk
ards will pay them back. They are
good pay-with all save possibly COM
mon trades people like grocers and
butchers. The money handed across
the saloon bars this month alone will
more than equal the $3,250,000 in Ii
censes. Yes, the drinkers and drunk
ards are sure pay. Some could not
stop if they would. These are the
drunkards. Once they were-but par
don us. We have no intention to
preach. We leave that for crank up
in South Dakota.
"a merchant in Coleman, S. D., did
a little figuring and published the ress
suits in his advertising space in the
local paper. The Chicago Tribune
paid telegraph tolls on the ad. Here
it is:
Look at this: Three beers day for
a year would bring into your home: One
barrel Of flour, fifty pounds Of sugar,
twelve pounds of corn starch, ten pounds

twelve-pound hams, one bushel Of sweet
potatoes, ten pounds of coffee, ten pounds
Of raisins, ten pounds of rice, twenty
Of soap, three twelve-pound turkeys, five
quarts of cranberries, ten punches of
celery, ten pounds of prunes, four dozen
oranges. and twenty five good beef steaks.
But three beers day Is little.
drinker. Surely he should not be
made the victim of a crank's dis
course. We will turn from the South
Dakota man and come back to Chicago
for an instant in concluding.
"It has often been said: We could
MT run the city without whisky and
water (the water department receipts
and the saloon license money!. Un-
der present conditions that is true, but
if we had no saloons we might not
need to spend $3,5OO,OOO year on a
police force, and 100000 per annum
for the Bridewel1. Nor would we need

The head of the liquor traffic is in
politics. There alone can it be wound
ed. When the political power of the
saloon is broken and it's enemies are
united at the ballot-box, the liquor
traffic will stagger and die. To this
end the Prohibition party labors. "a,

BARRED BY LIMITATION
MRS. FAIRBANKS COULD NOT BE
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
IF SHE WANTED.

Mrs. Charles F. Fairbanks, wife of
the republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, is not a candidate for reelection
as president general Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. This
statement was authoritively made this
morning by a prominent daughter in
answer to a statement made in the
morning paper that Mrs. Fairbanks
claims to reelection would be discussed
at the state conference next week.
Mrs. Fairbanks is now serving her
second term,'' explained the prominent
daughter, "and third term is impossi-
BILE according to our constitution, as we
have limitations in office. Mrs. Don
aid Mclean of New York and Mrs.
Arthur Bedle of New Jersey are two
announced candidates for the office Of
president general, but there is no truth
in the statement that Mrs. Fairbanks
seeks reelection. Nothing will be said
in regard to the matter at the state
conference. It would be unnecessary,
as she is not candidate, and if she
were it would certainly be discourte
to discuss the matter before her when

TRUSTS COMBINE
TO DEFEND OLEO
BIG CORRUPTION FUND FOR
CIRCUIT BILL REPEAL.
It's Abolition Would Bring an Addi-
tional Income to Beef Trust Alone Of
One Hundred Million Dollars and
Injure Honest Dairy Interests that
Much It Is Estimated. g..

The National Oleomargarine associa-
ton has apparently formed combine
of trust interests in it's present cam
paign of organization for lobbying at
the next session of congress to procure
the repeal of the Circuit bill imposing 10
cents a pound tax on all colored cleo.
Said to be allied with the oleo people,
are the cottonseed oil and the beef
trusts. The combine of these three

for the repeal of the CIRCUIT law, and if
successful, find it a very remunera-
tive investment Abolition of the
Circuit tax, it is estimated would bring
an additional income to the beef trust
alone of $1OO,OO0,0O0
"The lO-cent tax on oleo is the sal
walton of the dairy business, an indus
try which amounts to millions Of dol
lars year in Minnesota, " said w. w;
Wall, secretary of the state dairy and
food commission today. "The records
of the internal revenue offices show
what benefits the CIRCUIT bill has worked
for Minnesota. This year there are a
lot fewer licenses issued for the sale
Of cleo than the year before; all be-
cause with the Circuit tax, oleo cannot
be sold at much profit for less than 20
cents, which is so close to the cost of
SOOu DuCCef CndC Cno people prefer
the butter and the oleo dealer goes
out of the cleo business. There are
now occasionally cases, however, where
oleo is sold for butter and the state
commission is constantly on the look
out for the oleo trust will help the sale
of it's product in every way it can,
legally or illegally. The repeal of the
Circuit bill would be a crushing blow at
honest dairy and creamery butter bust
ness, and on every hand colored cleo
would be offered to the public as but

II do not think the cleo trust is at
present putting any money into, poll
tics in Minnesota, but it is almost COM
mon knowledge among those who know
of the methods Of the trust, that for
years where q congressional district is
close, the oleo trust was always ready to
hand out money to the candidate who
would pledge himself to the trust s in
terests if elected. It is also common
talk that the last time Congressman
James A. Tawney of Winona ran for
congress, that in retaliation for the
prominent part Tawny has played in
congress in favor of honest dairy in
terests and against oleo, the oleo trust
put a lot Of money into the first dis.
trict to defeat him, but failed. It will
be sad day for the great butter in
terests Of Minnesota, which are yearly
growing so vastly, when the oleo trust
| is able to get the circuit bill repealed. -
