A Probationary Suggestion.

1t is said that there are many inf1u-
ential men and organizations which pro-
pose license of $4,000 per annum.
Just where this proposition originated
cannot be ascertained but it can be
safely stated that the Excise Board will
make no such recommendation TO Con-
gress. and it is almost as safe to say
that Congress will hardly touch the
question of high license at this session.
1t was stated today at the District
building that a $4,000 license could not
be met by more than eight or ten bar
rooms in the District. probably not that.
In other words. such a license would
mean almost prohibition. This brings
up the question OF whether or not the
District is ready for prohibition.

Twenty to One.

Il think l can tell you something that
the average citizen and policeman does
not know. That is, that the cheap beer
that is being so much discussed now
as being responsible for this and that.
contains less than per cent of alcohol.
II would take twenty glasses of this
beverage 10 furnish as much alcohol IS
one single glass of straight whisky.
Any chemist of the city Will tell you
this Is so.
L do not believe that beer was ever
responsible for drunkenness in this
world. 1t is whisky or the mixing of
drinks. Ia any other country than this
the man who cheapened beer would
have a monument built TO his memory
as the friend Of the poor man. but here
ne is accused by preJudiced people with
being responsible for additional crime.
1t is the man Of moderate means.
the labOring man, who uses the 'growl-
er TO purchase beer 1or himself and his
family. lie is not able to buy fancy
wines, and he does not care for strong
wn.skies.
Yet IL is suggested that the Excise
Board will try 10 do away with the
growler / do not believe that such a
thing is even seriously considered.
More genuine temperance is promoted
by permitting the drinking OF beer in
a mans own home than by ali the

The prosecution, to my mind. was not
enthusiastic in getting hold Of evidence
that would incriminate the alleged pool
room operators. understand that some
OF those connected with the scheme have
heretofore operated in Macon and Sa-
Nannah, Ga, and were driven out of
that place. If this is true then it should
have been brought up in the trial. The
jury then would know just what was
the character of the man on trial
II am not prejudiced against the
gamblers. but l am emphatic in main
tanning law and order in Prince George

were guilty of operating a poolroom and

Under the organic act governing ap-

derived from the whisky traffic was

deny that II ere is any increase in crime

MANILA. April 24.-Three warships
are now off COrrcgidor island. 1t is
supposed here that they are Japanese
vessels and that Japanese Consul Ma
rival of Vice admiral Kamimura. There
is great official activity here. The
American admiral. the Japanese CON
sui and the general in command have
held conferences.
Ii was said in the American navy
headquarters that Japan had informed
the authorities that u japanese fleet
might enter Manila harbor. but would
remain outside the territorial limits.
Word has come from ]liOugkOng by
cable of the rumored fight last night
off the Cochin China coast. but there
is no information that viii throw any
light upon the supposed battle. The
impression here is THAI .Jananesn scout
boats attacked the Russian squadron
and that this is The beginning Of Togo'S
campaign.
II can be said positively that the lap
anese battleshipS are not farther up
