THE druggists are accustomed to
high profits" said Mr.. Gates. ''They
want to realize from 100 to 200 per
cent on everything they sell. and their
greed stands directly in the way of
making denatured alcohol popular. The
desirable thing is that grocers shall
undertake to handle it, They are ac-
customed to get from 10 to 80 per cent
profit. and would be perfectly satisfied
with that margin on alcohol. Moreover.
they are the persons whom you would
naturally expect to handle it. You
don't go to a druggist for gasoline or
kerosene; no more should you for ill
dustrial alcohol; nor is there any rea-
son in our regulations why RESPONSE

however. No factories for its manu-
facture have been started, and the
public has almost forgotten about it.
This state of affairs is charged up by
David A. Gates, chief of the federal
revenue agents, to the fact that drug
gfsts instead of grocers are handling
denatured alcohol. Mr.. Gates backs
this opinion with an interesting array
of facts cleaned by him through his
participation in the administra ton of
the free alcohol act. By inquiries made
in different sections of the country, he
has found that druggists are charging

If Pennsylvania makes the legislative
salary $4,000 per term of two years and

Mr.. Hughes is no longer an expert

the best governor New York has had in

however unpleasant. He has evaded

has played neither personal politics nor
party politics. In place of a quarter of
a century of uninterrupted boss rule
he has re-established government IN

may fail to do its duty, but nobody
