Production of Wine

Look not on the wine when it is
red in the cup" quoted the man who
talked as if he might be temperance
speaker, but his nose didn't look it, "is
what the Bible says, but the perverse
generation now inhabiting the world
doesn't seem to be living up to it, be-
cause the annual production of wine in
all the countries is about 4,000,00O,000
of gallons, or about two and a half gal
Ions for each man, woman and child on
earth. I'm mighty sure whole lot of
us don't drink that much every year,
so somebody somewhere must be get
ting our share to maintain the average.
france is the greatest of wine growers,
producing nearly half, or 1,747, 100000
gallons, and Italy comes second with
1,135, 100000 gallons. Spain is third,
with 554,OOO,OOO gallons, and Russia
produces only 100000, little Swift
zerland beating her with 26,00O,OOO.
All America turns out only 1876, 100000
gallons, about one twenty-fifth of the
entire product. However, we make
enough beer and whisky to offset our
wine shortage. But we are steadily ,ad-
vancing in our wine product, and some
of these days we will rank among the
first, because we have wonderful grape
possibilities which we are bound to de-
yelop when the demand comes. 1t will
be a good thing for us, too, when we
do, because it is an established fact that
there is much less drunkenness in wine
countries than in those where the drinks
contain a higher per cent. of alcohol

so conservative and fair that it is diff
cult to see how any effective opposition
could be made against it. Yet the en-
tire strength of the brewery opposition
was out against it at the last legisla-
ture, and with their paid attorneys and
usual lobbying methods, finally secured
it's defeat.
THAT defeat, however, was only tenn
porary. The measure will be intro
duced at the next session of the legisla-
ture and strong fight for it's passage
will be made. In the meantime the
friends Of temperance should know the
friends and foes of the measure, so as
to conduct themselves accordingly at
the coming election. It's foes should be
sent to defeat wherever possible, and it's
friends should have the united support
of the Christian voters of their districts.
The men who were for the Thayer bill
will be found supporting any conserva-
tive temperance legislation that is intro
duced and, as matter of course, they
ought to be returned.

The legislature of Wisconsin refused
to pass the residence district local OPP
ton bill at it's last session. The Wiscon-
sin Issue contains the bill in full which
is very much the same as the Jones bill
in Ohio.
The Anti-Saloon League of the pros
porous state to the north of us is fight
ing a good fight. Superintendent Hare
is not the man to get discouraged. If
the bad legislators think they have car
ried the day they have another guess
coming. If they think they can go back
and slap the people in the face again.
they will also very likely be allowed one
more guess. Hare is after them and
will have them taking to the woods
like so many rabbits.
We quote from the Wisconsin Issue
the following:
This bill was introduced early in
the last session of the legislature, by
Assemblyman Thayer, of Chippewa
county. He managed the attempt to
pass the measure in remarkably able
and statesmanlike manner. Of course,
all the forces of the opposition were
directed against it, and the usual I'M
scrupulous methods were used in secur-
ing it's defeat. Misrepresentation, direct
falsehood, unlimited Doodle and barrels
of booze were the weapons that finally
secured it's defeat. Even with these
agencies at work the death blow had to
be administered by parliamentary sharp
practice.
1.-The Thayer bill proposes to give the
people the right to say what kind of
nuisances, if any, shall be permitted
in the community that they have spent
their money and energy in developing.
1t takes from the council or board the
right to determine whether saloons
shall be licensed or not in all residence
communities that file remonstrance
against license. 1t gives the people the
final voice in the matter. The bill is

SOME CURIOUS VERDICTS RENDERED
BEFORE CORONERS AND IN COURTS

' A coroners jury in Somersetshirc re-
Gently distinguished itself by ren-
derlng verdict that "the deceased died
from natural causes arising from an
accident" and 1t was only after lot
OF arguing that the coroner was able
10 persuade the Intelligent gentlemen
that, as the subject OF the inquest had
succumbed to injuries received In fall
ing out of cart, the correct verdict
would be Death by niisadventure' or
Accidental DEATH"
Prom natural causes arising from
on accident Is almost az good as the
verdict of Il jury which once found that
81 prisoner was guilty" but that there
was not sufficient evidence to prove IT,
in criminal trial In which the EVIL
dence for the crown was of very
circumstantial character, but had been
handled with much cleverness by the
prosecuting counsel.
But, as rule, very few stupid mis-
takes are committed by juries In Grim
inal cases, and the few are generally
rejected by the learned judges. The
worst of them all was the verdict
passed In a perfectly obvious case OF
n.anslaughter; indeed, the quality OF
manelaughter was SO apparent that 1t
might easily have been deemed MUIR

learned Judge was very particular In
his summing-up TO preclude the posi-

defining the two crimes. For two long

ii Is recorded that coroner's jury
IN the glorious state Of Texas called to-
gether to formally decide how a bad
man who had been shot dead In a
drinking saloon had come by his death,
found that the deceased died from "a
wound caused BY a shot from a re-
yolycr held by Ted Brady hut there
was no evidence TO show how the
weapon went of. Il may be surmlseG
that Mr.. Brady had some affectionate
friends serving on that jury.
There is a story that another Texas
jury returned a verdict Of suicide" In
very similar case TO the one Just
mentioned. and on having the crimes
of suicide. manslaughter. and murder
defined to them. and being asked how It
were possible for a man TO commit sui
eide with a weapon held by another
man standing PAGES away, they de-
clared that It amounted to suicide, In
asmuch as the deceased, knowing the
other man was the quickest and sur
est shot I'm the state. deliberately insult
ed him In public. But, although the
story sounds probable enough, Il has
not been authenticated, and It must
only be accepted with the prescribed
grain of chloride of sodium.

commit themselves to unusual verdicts.
