corps, that twc thirds of the revenues OF
the country are devoted 10 the payment

are constantly increasing their demands.
What he aid ia absolutely true bnt the
stand-patters use the army and navy as
means to drain the treasury and give

WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC. 10. 1907.

As WAS stated Yesterday, under the
regulation adopted to put into effect the
free alcohol bill which was passed by
Congress last session 1t hes been found
that the distillers' trust has practical
monopoly of the manufacture IF denatur-
lied alcohol. The farmers for whose
benefit the bill WAS originally intended
have not been helped at all in the way
they anticipated, so Senator Hansbrough,
of North Dakota has introduced bill to
correct this. The law relieving from
taxation denatured alcohol is tn be
amended so as TO make possible the
manufacture of slcohol by every farmer
in the nation. The present law requir-
ing the manufacture Of alcohol in bond
has really confined production to the big
distillers. The bill introduced by Sena-
tor HansbIough aud one which 1t is be-
ljeyed both houses will pass provides
that any person can distill alcohol. The
LII would prove a great boon to fsrmers
enabling them to utilize much of the
waste product of their farms and permit
them TO manufacture at little cost cheap
and excellent material for heating, light
ing and steam purposes.

Women the Cause.

Washington, Dec. 10. --lncompati-
bility between Mrs. Roosevelt and Lady
Durand ia a reason given for the retire
ment from Washington OF the present
British Ambassador, Sir Mortimer Du-
rand. Whether the story is true is not
known, because those most concerned
will say nothing about it. Two seasons
ago Mrs. Roosevelt inaugurated series
of 8 o'clock teas at the White House,
Invitations to these functions we're limit
oil to women of the diplomatic corps, the
Cabinet and those actually prominent in
society.
Lady Durand, it is asserted, did not
like the exactions OF Mrs. Roosevelt
teas, and is declared to have made sar-
castle remarks about them. Tue natural
result was coolness between the two
women, which rumor declares finally ex.
tended to their husbands.
This situation reached the ears OF the
British government, and Sir Mortimer Is
understood to have expressed doubt ii
he could be of service to his country BY
remaining in Washington any longer.
