Democrat, Fort Atkinson: THAT
there is a falling off in the Christ
mas trade this year is evident OIL
every hand 1t is reported by the ex-
press companies and even the post
office feels the lack of trade which is
apparent at this holiday season. The
long distance packages which should
have gone out for Christmas are mott
cable by their absence, and of course
his condition has an effect on the
Christmas business generally. All
together however, the Christmas shop
ping in Fort Atkinson has been fair,
and most of our merchants have little
to complain of. -
If the editor of the Democrat could
have seen the rush at the Watertown
post0ffice and express offices, he might
have changed the phrasoIogy of the
above so that it would not have had
so much the sound IF the pesimist.
These places of buiness here did
the greatest volume of business this
year III their experience.

Just before Christmas, a lady living
in Canada sent letter to her mother
who resides in TINS city IN which were
inclosed two small silk handkerchiefs
The letter with Enclosures was sent
to the collector of interval revenue
at Milwaukee, the handkerchiefs being
contraband goods upon which tariff
should be paid. The letter and hand
kerchiefs were returned and delivered
TO the LADY to whom addressed, as it
was evidently though that there was
no intent to evade the revenue law
and the tariff On the goods was too
small to make any account of it. All

sire to violate law and 1t demonstrat-
ed that Uncle Sans officials are on
the alert to see that he is not defrand-
ed out of anything coming to him.

ONE CAUSE OF DISSIPATION

The judge advocate general of the army, Colonel Porter, in his annual re- port, shows that in the fiscal year end ed June 30, there were more than a thousand enlisted men tried for deser- tion. This was the number tried, only. Many more deserted who were not caught. The report is doubly interest ing in that it also dwells upon the pas sage of the anti-canteen act. Colonel Porter says that this act "has undoubt- edly caused the location near the mili- tary reservations of resorts for the sale of intoxicating liquors.'
 The abolition of the canteen is due in large part to the agitation carried on by a most worthy organization-due, very largely, we think, to the fact that the word, perfectly harmless and of good meaning in itself, had come to be warped into meaning something akin to low groggery. Let us see what the word really means.
 "Canteen: A sort of sutler's shop in barracks, camps, garrisons, etc., where provisions, etc. Sometimes beer or other liquors), are sold to soldiers under regu. lations prescribed by the authorities. ''
 If enlistment in the army carried with it pledge to total abstinence from liquor, the anti-canteen act, un. popular now, would be less popular still Few men would enlist.
 The canteen as established at bar. racks and army posts was generally . well conducted institution, where tho soldier could get beer or wine if desired but never too much of either. If he violated the regulations, he was still ir barracks, and punishment was sure.
 When the canteen was abolished there sprang up near most army posts low dives which catered especially to tho soldier. Vile liquor was sold to him a' long as his money held out. These grOggeries exist in numbers today, an( while on drunken spree many sol dier of otherwise good record overstay, his leave and rather than go back tC

Poison that Looks Eatahle

"In our laboratories" said chem ist, "we make good deal of cyanide of potassium. Men who handle this poison are too often seized with an in. sane desire to eat it.
 "The white and beautiful crystals ex- ercise on the mind strange fascina, tion, such as snakes are said to exer. else upon small birds. Though you know that the stuff is deadly, yor feel horrible longing to crush handful of it into your mouth.
 "And many cases are recorded of men who were unable to resist this aw ful longing-happy, prosperous and young men found dead in the laboratory beside a glittering white heap of cya hide of potassium crystals.
 "Hence in many chemical works tho men are strictly forbidden to enter tho cyanide house alone. "-Philadelphi; Bulletin.

 FREIGHT RATES
Effort Will Be Made to Interest All Commercial Organizations of Terri tory in Cooperating for Better Rates on All Railroads in Territory.

The Phoenix Board of Trade is send ing out letters to'the commercial organ izations of the territory at Tucson, Prescott, Bisbee, Douglas and Globe, asking their cooperation in general territorial movement having for it's pur- pose readiustment and reduction of freight rates as between eastern points and Arizona, and also as between points in Arizona.
 According to the plan outlined, it is some time during the month of October. At this meeting will be representatives of the boards of trade from the cities above mentioned and territorial or ganization will be formed.
 Acting in conjunction with the Phoe- nix Board of Trade is the committee appointed by the Live Stock association of Arizona, composed of Messrs. Pack ard, Heard and Chandler.
 B. A. Packard, a member of the Live Stock association committee, was in Tucson Tuesday on his way to Phoenix, Mir. Packard stated that his committee had made no move of definite kind as vet, because members of the commit tee had been absent from the territory, but during September several meetings of the committee would be held and the work of compiling the complaints of shippers in Arizona, for presentation to the interstate commerce commission, would be taken up in vigorous man ner.
 Mir. Packard stated that he favored the plan proposed by the Phoenix Board of Trade to interest the commercial or ganizations of the territory in a gen eral movement and that advices he had received from the principal towns of the territory showed their willingness to cooperate.
 If the territory movement erystalizes into an accomplished organization, the plan calls for the election of board of directors of the general territorial organization which will maintain a gen eral office where will be gathered the complaints of the territory regarding excessive freight rates and comparisons shown between freight rates in Arizona and other western states. There is no doubt but the excessive freight rates as applied to Arizona points have been a serious drawback to the territory. Both Fl Paso and Los Angeles are enjoying comparatively low rates on carload lots. As an example of the present discrimin- ation against Arizona it is cited that a carload of merchandise can be shipped from the east to Fl Paso at a rate of 75 cents per hundred pounds, or to Los Angeles at the rate of $l per hundred pounds. If the same ear of merchandise is billed to Arizona points, the rate is Sl.S3 per hundred pounds, adding $1.OS to haul the ear from Fl Paso.
 If possible it is the intention of those at the head of the present movement to better territorial freight rates, to have the interstate commerce commis- sion hold meeting at some point in Arizona at which time both the shippers and railroad officials will be given a hearing.

A PROTEST

am usually mild and not easily riled, And my temper is seldom ahame; While I m known as a man of whom
 nobody can Say word that would blaeken my
 name. I am seldom inclined to make comments
 unlIind, Or to give curtain lectures or preach, But l hereby declare that Fl get up
 and swear If my wife don't come home from the
 beach. It is seldom, know, that she asks me
 to go, And perhaps I should not complain
 now; For m not by repute eontemptible
 brute, Who would kick up family row. Yes, to such things or worse, am really
 ayerse, am always polite in my speech, But I we stood it week and my mind l
 will speak If my wife don't come home from the
 beach. I have lived here and there upon res
 taurant fare, Till my appetite seems to be lost; have eaten my fill at each ehophouse
 and grill, Without making kick at the cost. I have "batched it and tried boarding
 out on the side, Tin I'm tired and weary of each; And there g naught l can see but dys-
 pepsia for me If my wife don t come home from the
 beach, You may take great delight at my mis-
 erable plight, You may laugh at the fix l am in; You may dub me a euss who delights in
 q fuss, Ever ready to waggle his chin. Still l have, as 1 say, a most amiable
 way, And I'm 10th now to widen the
 breach; But my only recourse seems suit for
 divorce, If my wife don t come home from the
 beach.
