THE SALOON AND REVENUE

The Boston Herald, in an editorial en-
titled prohibition in the Nation" dis
cusses the trend of popular thought
against the saloon, but with strange
shortsightedness says
There is, however, to be recognized,
on the other side of the question, the
immense interests involved, the. total
investments in brewing and distilling
business in the United States being
$612,571, 55S, and their contribution in
federal revenues alone last year being
O7,124,099, an increase over the pre-
vious year of over $16,oOO,OO0.
It is remarkable that the Herald is not
able to see that the investment" of the
brewing and distil1ing businesses in an
enterprise that is directly inimical, and
always inimical, to the welfare of the
people, has no more claim to considera-
ton than the highwayman's invest
ment' in his mask and pistol and the
cost of the burglars jimmy. And as for

FARMERS AND THE
SALOONS

The Fruit Grover of St. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, in an editorial entitled Farmers
and the Saloon Question says:
This move to eliminate the saloon
does not seem to be so much the re-
suit of an agitation in favor of tenn
perance as it does to be the legitimate
:. result of the interference of the saloon
hi7ssn the saloon power in the politics of
the country The move in favor of
Prohibition is rebuke to the inter
ference of the saloon in political af-
fairs, and as the most effective means
of bringing about better conditions
the people simply do away with the
saloons altogether. The people of the
cities may put UP with the saloon in
f1uence for a time, but they will unite
with the farmers after awhile and
make change And in the mean
time the farming communities, espe-
cially in all the southern states, are
doing little housekeeping on their
own account, and the counties and
states, one after another, are going
dry" 1t has taken the farmers some
time to get started-but they are in
the saddle in some of the states now,
and the end is not in sight.

TWISTED ALL AROUND

The Philadelphia Record, in an edi-
torial on Prohibition and Temperance,
tells its readers that "in Chicago at the
recent election approximately one-third
of the precincts exercised the privilege
of excluding licensed saloons from their
boundaries" and:
"The good intent and the earnest
ness of purpose of the Prohibitionists
are conceded but students of statis-
tics must take exception to their prop
osition that a sumptuary law is the
only or the surest cure for intemper-
ate habits"
The Records information and argu-
ments are equally exact Not a single
precinct in Chicago has voted on the
liquor question; Prohibition is not a
sunptuary law it does not aim at Gin
temperate habits" and reliable statistics
all point one way and that is, toward
its good results; in short, the Record
is again indulging in its old habit of
"darkening counsel by words without
knowledge"

the revenue, how many times must it be
said over and over and over, before it
will dawn upon the ponderous intelli-
gence of the average editor, that the
revenues paid by the drink traffic to
municipality, state and nation, are only
a percentage of the money that it steals
from the pockets of the people?
The Morning Call of Paterson, N. j.,
arguing for the bishops law and
against Prohibition, INDUCES in the
same sort of Stiffness, and says:
And then there is such a thing as
killing the goose that lays the golden
egg. We want a police department
and an almshouse, and so long as the
saloonkeepers pay for them the tax
payers should not kick And they GER
tainly would kick if they had to put
their hands in their pockets and shell
out what the saloonkeepers pay for the
privilege of selling liquor.
But why do we want police depart
ment and an almshouse? The Cal
knows that it is very largely to take care
of the results of the saloon. And how
do the saloonkeepers pay for them?
Why, simply by passing over percent
age of the results of their plundering
of the public. If the people of New
Jersey want that sort of farce to go
on for the benefit of the whisky trust
and beer barons, the Call is giving them
the kind of advice they want to follow.
The saloons in Baton Rouge, as else
where, will have to learn this lesson
that they above all should obey the law,
and that the only choice left them is
obedience to the law or Prohibition.
The Prohibition movement now so
strong throughout the South is largely
the result of the belief among certain
liquor interests that, because of their
political influence, they are above the
states law. They are fast learning
their mistake but at great cost to them
selves-The Ne70 Orleans TimesDemo-

Prohibition Songs of
Victory

System of Ear Marks for Stock

Where numbers OF pure bred stock
are kept system of individual mark
ing is desirable. In the accompanying
illustrations, the first column repre-
sents the key of all numbers, while
the second column represents the
units from one to ten. All numbers
below 100 are made by combination
Of numbers l, 10, and 80, as shown
in the first four illustrations of the
first column. Begin numbering on the
right ear and it will be easy to remem-
Der that any number on the right ear,
if placed in a like place on the left
ear, will be multiplied by ten, thus,
one notch on the tip of the ear means
three, but If the notch is put in the
tip of the lift ear it means ten times
three or 80. This rule does not hold
good as to the notches in the points
Of the ear. One notch in the point of
the right cay -Eleans ten and in the
point of the left 1000. The notches
are added together to make the final
number Any one taking up this sys-
tenn of numbering will be aided If
they draw a number of ears and mark
the n,otches with pencil for each pig
before making the notches and until
perfectly familiar with this system.

Filling Ditch After Tile Have Been Covered

In digging either an open ditch or
one that is intended for thing, always
begin at the outlet and have this out
let SO that there will be a drop of at
least six inches. Tile drains are often
rendered entirely useless when they
flow into stream or pond on the
level or when they open out on the
ground without any drop at the
mouth and unless there is consider.
able fall there it will be but a short
time before the drain is plugged up at
the mouth and the whole system rem
dered worthless until cleaned out.
The best drains are straight, as this
allows the tile to be placed in line
without curves which retard the flow
OF water. Sand and silt will lodge at
a curve If anywhere, in the drain. In
order to insure a straight ditch, line
should be used, set three and one-half
inches back from where the ditch is
to be, so that it will not be disturbed
when the trench is dug.
The tile used should be large
enough to remove in from "a to %
heaviest, rains. Where there are large
wet places to be drained, large pipes
are necessary, but where the work of
draining is Systematically carried out
over an entire field regardless of wa
ter or contents, wet or low places,
smaller tile will give satisfaction The
greater the flow, the smaller the tile
may be. If the grade is doubled it in
creases the carrying capacity of the
tile nearly one-third. If anyone is in
doubt as to what size tile to use it
would be safest to get some that is
too large rather than too small. On
account of sediment, roots and silt, 1t
is seldom advisable to use tile smaller
than three inches in diameter, al
though on high ground two inch tile
may be all right. The size Of the
main must depend on the area to be
drained, the flow, and the number of
laterals. Prof. F. H. King, in his
