Austria the cadets usually enter the army at
about the age of twenty. and "a L.ieutenants
receive the annual pay of E70. They remain
at this figure for six or seven years, when they
are advanced to fs5, the highest rate for

Prohibition In Washiu gton?

Why not? Washington is under the
control Of Congress, and Congress has
admitted on at least one memorable
occasion that it il subject Ia the 80
called temperance" agitators.
Some years ago Congress astoundel
Washington by a~bolishing the army
canteen. The members OF the House
OF Representatives had on various pre-
vious occasions yielded 10 the more
or less oppressive solicitations OF the

themselves from persecution and de-
pending on the Senate { o rescue them
from the consequences Of their coward
ice. But at last the Senators grew weary
Of the role Of scapegoat; and the next
time the Representatives steered the
good ladies and the parsons UP against
them they assented to the bill and
stocked their committee rooms in an
~ticipation Of the coming dearth.
Now the Prohibitionists are gathering
for a move OF special import. They pro-
pose To themselves to secur an act OF
Congress forbidding the sale of liquor
throughout the District of Columbia,
and they count with much reason it
must he said upon the same craven
hypocrisy which stood them in such good
stead before. The idea ia TO make Wash

and hidden places generally, the differ

We have little doubt that the crusade
will reach triumphant contamination.
The result to Washington, TO morality,
To civilization and To human liberty is
quite another matter.
