Washington, Feb. 22.-Temperance
is having its inning in this country at
last. If anyone doubts this, they
should talk with the senators and con-
gressmen now in Washington.
Developments in the South. which
has not yet recovered from surprise at
the victory of this splendid movement,
have caused the lawmakers Of all
states to look into the future. They
sniff from afar a battle between the
advocates Of prohibition and the liqu-
or interests.
talked with a senator from a West
ern state-it is not so very far west
either-recently. He did not have
much to say about the temperance
movement, but what he did say meant
volumes.
The people out my way are talking
| temperance and arguing the advant-
ages of prohibition he said. when
! the people begin to talk of move
ment. | have always found, it means
| that it is already powerful"
This western senator is only one OF
the solons who keep their fingers on
the pulse Of their constituents opin-
ions.
Expressions are heard every day
that, while not quite SO diplomatic, are
emphatic and convincing that the
country is interested in the liquor
problem.
/ "The mothers are doing it." said a
congressman. The mothers have
learned the lesson from experience
They have suffered and they are
pointing out to their sons the cause
of their sufferings.
The arguments of the prohibition
lists convince none SO quickly as these
Not alone the South is feeling the fire
of reason. 1t is spreading throughout
the nation. The example set by the
Southern states has convinced the
people of other states that something
is wrong when liquor is indiscrimin
ately sold. People want little else
than an example and a reason. The
rest they do themselves"
That women were the primary NOV
ers in the temperance crusade, there
is no disputing. They have laboreG
so long and so faithfully in the cause
that they have at last interested mer
to a much greater extent than former
ly.

With a taste of zero weather
And a north pole tempered chill
Or an iceberg puff
It is quite enough,
And it more than fills the bill.

And discuss it with a smile

river was by freely distributing liquor
among the negroes. When under its
influence they would go into the water
almost to the drowning point and work
until they were overcome.
Liquor and tobacco have undoubted-
ly been the curse of America, and it
behooves all law abiding citizens who
are interested in the welfare of the ma
ton to supplement the work of the ad-
vocateS OF temperance with all the
power they possess.
In Germany the temperance element
of that great empire has taken hold of
the matter in an earnest way and is
now petitioning for the segregation of
intoxicated people on passenger trains.
The most important steps, however,
are those taken by the Prussian minis
ter of justice, who has inaugurated
movement for the abolition of com
pulsory" beer drinking among univer-
stty students.
The excessive use of beer and alco-
hol is doubtless responsible for the
duels and barbarous sword practices
which are universal among the STU
dents of Germany. 1t has often excited
disgust to see officers and scholars of
Germany with their faces full of scars
and disfigurements from cuts received
In duelling while students.
While this movement in the Kaiser S
empire should result in general sup
preston Of the use of beer by the pop
ulation of Germany, it would be a
blessing to those splendid people.
Sweden probably leads in fortuitious
results in this line through her famous
Gottenburg system of controlling the
I liquor trade.
The Empress of China has also been
actively interested in the movement
for the abolition of the opium trade.
| the baneful use of which is as disas-
| trous to the people of China as the ex-
cessive use Of alcoholic beverages OF
other nations.
The steady increase of the army of
Gus reformation which they have
wrought argues we'll for the future of
| temperance, morality and the higher
ambitions of the nations of the earth.
To have succeeded in enlisting the
men OF the nation in the holy cause OF
the abolition of whisky and tobacco is
the greatest victory that the women
all the world over have achieved, and
they should be encouraged to more stu.
pendous efforts in the future than in
the past.

ness for the defense in the govern
ment suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
company, faced an unceaSing fire OF
questions from Federal Counsel Frank
B. Kellogg, and when adjournment
was taken until Monday the head of
the oil combine was still being cross
examined on tie charge. that the com.
pany, in its early days, accepted re-
bates TO the disadvantage of its rivals.
Rockefeller's cross examination will
probably not be concluded until late
Tuesday, as Counsel kellogg made il
known that he would inquire into
every detail of the company,s busi-
ness from Rockefeller.
The enormous earning power of the
combine was sharply brought out in
todays hearing when Rockefeller,
after stating that the Standard paid
dividends amounting to $4,000, coo in
1907, said Ii lad earned much more.
This was added to the capital and
surplus. which was stated by the gov
ernment counsel to be $500 O0O. 600. 1t
was further stated by Kellogg that
the company within the last eight
years had earned half billion dollars.
Mr.. Rockefeller was questioned
closely regarding the rebates which
the Standard was charged with re-
ceivlns, but with the exception of an
agreement with the Pc 1nsyivania
railroad, whicn Rockefelier explained
gave the Standard a rebate because
1t effected an equalization of oil ship
ments, Rockefeller would not recall
any other rebates though he thought
1t likely he might have heard of it

By Associated Press.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-At q meeting of
the creditors committee Of the bank
ers, behind closed doors in the Corn
Exchange National Bank of Chicago,
the question was seriously discussed,
it is said, of asking the states attor-
ney to use his judgment OF laying the
failure of A. Booth & Co, known as
the fish trust" before the Cook coun-
ty grand jury.
This discussion of criminal action, it
is said, came after a final audit of the
company's accounts which showed
that the creditors will receive, it is
claimed, only 80 cents on the dollar.
The audit was started shortly after
the fish trust" was thrown into the
hands of a receiver about three
months ago. The receivership dis
closed the facts that Chicago. New

Some of the bankers. it is said, de-
