The Panic.

Milwaukee Journal: The attempt to
hold President Roosevelt responsible
for the panic is foolish, according to
A. D. Noyes, financial editor of the
New York Evening Post. The presi-
dent will suffer politically as result
of the panic, because that seems al
ways to be true of the man and the
party in power when financial depres-
sions occur, but he is no more to
blame for the panic than was Pres
ident Cleveland for the panic of 1898.
The presidents recent speeches were
indiscreet, as most men will admit,
but they did not cause the panic.

Sued for Dues.

Monroe Times: ThreateDod court
action against former members OF the
Ancient Order United Workmeu OF the
state for collection OF dues has been
instituted in Kenosha where seventy
members of the lodge have been sued
for sums ranging from IS cents to 81
each and it is reported that complaints
have been prepared for filing in other
cities. The action is brought by the
Fidelty Trust Co., OF Milwaukee,
which is the trustee in Bankruptcy of
the order and it is probable that the
Kenosha cases will be made a tess and
if members are ordered TO pay there
others in the state will not contest the
collection. The Kenosha cases will
be heard next week.

THE MODEL LICENS Sc
LIE GLE.

The Democrat has received from
The Model Licence League, Louisville,
KY, circular letter and accompany
ing documents. The leaguers state
that they are distillers, brewers, wine
makers, wholesale liquor dealers, and
reputable saloon keepers; and they
offer a "Solution of the Liquor Prob
lem" which is the title of their chief
document. Their suggestions are Of
fered as the ''result of great many
years Of study given to the problem of
how to compel obedience to law on the
part of the saloon trade"
One enclosure from the leaguers is a
long article from the Louisville Her.
aid, supporting the model license law
which they submit for publication, and
ask comment or criticism. Without
attempting a general discussion of so
vast a question as the solution of the
liquor problem, the Democrat takes
exception to the first sentence in the
Herald's article, which is as follows ;
$50 long as men crave stimulants,
and alcohol in one form or another
satisfies the craving, the liquor ques-
ton is likely to stay with us, demand
ing the consideration of PSYCHOLOGISTS,
legislators and refOrmers."
There is no use in considering an
argument which is based on this prem
Use: because it is false premise-nOt
founded on fact. Alcohol does not
satisfy the craving of men who crave
stimulants. The reverse is the case:
the use of alcohol in any of it's forms
increases rather than satisfies the
craving for stimulants. This is sus-
tanned by the experience Of everyone,
personal and otherwise.
If alcohol satisfied a craving for
stimulants, then those who imbibe the
most ought to be the most thoroughly
satisfied. But they are never satisfied.
The man who is habitually on the
streets at early dawn, waiting for the
saloons to open, is the one who had
the last drink he could get the night
before.
Take any assembled company of
those who habitually drink alcohol in
any form, and if, they are not drink
ing, it takes no mind reader to know
that their common thought is that so
plainly expressed in words by the
governor of South Carolina, when he
said to the governor of North Caro-
lima, Its a long time between
drinks"
The attempt to satisfy with alcohol
in any of it's forms a craving for slim
ulants is a most grevious mistake,
and leads to great misery. To guard
against the cultivation of this craving,
either in the homes or in the saloons,
every individual should watch and
pray. 1t is only the total abstainer :,
who has no craving for stimulaEts.

Are Book Reviews News?

There seems to be a difference of
opinion among editors as to whether
the appearance of an important new
book is an event deserving of any
mention in a crowded newspaper. Is
the review of a good novel or a great
history a matter of real public inter-
est? The Chicago Record-Herald is
one of the comparatively few news
papers that answers this question in
the affirmative by printing reviews
and news of the latest books every
day in the week. It believes that its
readers are intelligent men and wom-
en-, who wish to keep up with the
worlds literary events, as we'll as
with other important news. Its liter
airy department, under the editorship
of Edwin L. Shuman, is generally
acknowledged to be the most ably
conducted in the West. Mr.. Shu
mans reviews are sought and quoted
all over the country, and so are those
W alter Littlefeld's news letter from
New York every Saturday keeps The
Record-He readers informed on
all the forthcoming books of import
ance, and cable dispatch from Lon
don every Sunday gives the latest
book news of the English capital.
Thus by covering the literary events
of the world as thoroughly as those
of every other field The Record-Her-
Herald has become the leading author
ity ia that line west of New York. 1t
is not strange that people of literary
taste prefer it.
