Of this enormous total 14OOS4,436 gallons were
Spirits that is to say, WHISTLES and brandies and
similar liquors made by distillation. The tables
show how little more than 134,OOO,0OO gallons of
the spirits were manufactured in the United
States, and trihe less than four million gallons
imported from foreign countries
This makes 163 gallons of spirits for every
man, woman and child in the country, per
capita consumption of distilled liquors that has
not been equaled in the history of the United
States since 1878.

CHAPTER II: THE LESSONS OF THIS
STUDY.

For months past the liquor interests have been
vociferousy procaiming their own financial I'M
nortance as employers of labor, buyers OF agri-
cultural and manufactured products and tax
payers.
Thousands of columns of advertising space
have been paid for by the brewing and d1Stllllng
interests to spread before the American people
pretended statistics along these lines. According
to the matter so published, according to the mar
inc posters which hang in the windows OF the
saloons. the liquor business furnishes employment
TO great army of men, buys an enormous guam
t;tv of grains and mill products, and pays the
Greater part of all the revenue received by the
government
This paper has already pointed out the numer-
ous fallacies in these representations made by
the liquor interests Another highly important
phase of the case remains to be considered ana
this article will raise the pertinent question:
Where did the liquor interests get the money 7o'fh
7ch;ch to paw the 7uages that it pays, buy the
materials that it buys and pros1de the revenne
that it proUrdesY
This article will show certain important things
n which the readers attention is specially in
vited
I. That without giving in return single
dollar of value, the liquor traffic took from the
American people in the fiscal year 1907 more than

PUTS THE SHOT
81 f., Yin.

NEW YORK, September 13.-Ralph
Rose, the giant shotputter of Cali
fornia, again demonstrated his ability
as a record breaker by putting the
iron ball the unprecedented distance
of 81 feet inches this afternoon at
the annual games of the Paterson
Harriers, held at Willard Park, Pater-
son, N. j. Rose made the put on his
third trial, his best previous record
being 10 feet 10 inches.
Today's performance is l foot in
ches better than the worlds record
made by Rose on Labor Day, when at
the games of the Irish-American Ath-
letic Club he sent the ball the distance
of 40 feet 10 inches.
AS the event was not placed on IL,
programme today, Rose consenteu %
give an exhibition, and the record will
therefore not be allowed by the A
A. U. because it was not made in open
competition.

WHITELAW REID'S
SON A REPORTER
YOUNG MAN TAKES FIRST DE-
TAILS ON THE NEW YORK TRI-
BUNE.

NEW YORK, September 9.-ogden
Mills Reid, the son of Whitelaw Reid,
Emabassador to England, began work
today as a reporter on the New York
Tribune. 1t is said he will make
specially of politics, and is is limited
that this is preliminary to an intimate
study of the newspaper business which
will fit him for management of the
Tribune when his father relinquishes
control.
The young man is about II years or
age, and is graduate of Yale with
the class of 1904. He was distinguished
there as an athlete and was especially
expert in swimming. LIS assignments
today were social and political and
were filled with commendable earnest
ness. This seems to set at rest recent
rumors that the Tribune would be
sold.

greeted him. BY this time the Anne
ricans had not only the greatest res
pect for the dark-skinned visitors, but
they feared them and predicted they
would win. The next day Purdy, ka-
aua, Hugh Clark, of Cheyenne, and
Peter Dickerson, the only men quail
flying for the finals roped. Kaaua rop-
ed in the slow time OF las 1-5, and
the Americans took hope. Then Dick
erson fell down and got no time. Then
Hugh Clark roped in 1:20. This left
Champion Purdy with the best time
of 1903 2-5, but he had to rope an
other steer. Excitement was at fever
heat, for Clark had attained the best
average for the three days up to this
time. Finally Purdy's steer was turn
ed out of the corral, and with a dash
Purdy was after him. Purdy made a
perfect throw, busted his steer, and,
slipping from his horse, ran quickly
to the fallen animal and in a twinkling
had "hog-tied." A great shout went
up when the time was announced at
Sc seconds, and Purdy declared the
winner and holder of the champion
ship title. Clark won second. Kaaua
third and Dickerson fourth.
And so the Hawaiians are the best
cowboys! This is tremendously i'm
portant-more so, in fact, than the re.
suit of the Marathon race or winning
the greater number OF points in an
Olympic contest. No one country has
enjoyed a monopoly OF the sport OF
foot-racing, pole jumping, hurdling,
or tug-of-waring, but America did have
a monopoly of wild horse riding, steer
roping and all the sports and exercises
in which the frontiersman and the
cowboy took part. 1t is rather gall
ing, therefore, to have this honor TAX
en- from us. But, after ALL there is
the consoling thought that if the Unit
ed States is to lose the steer-tying
championship, it is won by the natives
of an island that is protected by the
Stars and Stripes. And what is even
of more Importance, the Westerners
are such good sportsmen that they
have not uttered a word of complaint
regarding their defeat.

MAKING RECORD
At SEATTLE
PACIFIC WORLDS FAIR WILL
SOON HAVE TWELVE BUILDINGS
COMPLETED.
Especial Correspondence

SEATTLE, August 31.-Six build
ings finished, six more nearing COM
pletion, landscaping and work on the
finishing of the roadways well al
vanced, is the record made by the
management of the Alaskan Yukon
Pacific Exposition nine months before
opening day, June l, 1909. That the
Pacific Worlds fair will open on time
complete in every detail is the opinion
of experienced exposition men, who
state that no other exposition ever
made such rapid progress toward conf
pletion.
The United States government nas
nearly finished the plans for its five
buildings-main government, Hawaii,
Alaska, Philippines and fisheries and
will start to work sometime next
month. These structures Will be rush
ed toward completion. In order to In
sure that they will be finished long
before opening day, a heavy penalty
will be imposed on the contractor for
every day. he exceeds the time unit
put on the priod of construction.
The six completed buildings are:
Manufactures, Agriculture, Machinery,
Administration, Fire Station and
Emergency Hospital. Those under
construction and their percentage of
progress are as follows: Oregon, 80
per cent Auditorium, 80 per cent;
Mines, so per cent; Fisheries, 35 per
cent; California, per cent; Fine

The management of the Alaska
open June 1, 1909, has added to its
list of awards for the best displays
grand prize" or 'grande prix,' as
it is generally called on account Of
originating at the Paris expositions.
This will be the highest award made
to exhibitors. In addition there will
be diplomas for gold, silver and bronze
medals and honorable mention.
The exhibitors have expressed
themselves as much pleased with the
decision to award a grand prize, es-
pecially the foreign exhibitors, who
care more for the honor of winning
"Grande Prix" than they do for
winning a basketful fgold medals.
This was very pronounced at the st.
Louis exposition. At all foreign ex-
positions it has been the custom to
warad a "Grande PriX," and the ma
nufacturers in the United States who
cater to a foreign trade desire to COM
pete for such a prize. Director of Tx
hiDits Henry R. Bosch, who was in
strumental in having the Grande Prize
added to the list, states that it will
result in much better, larger and
more artistic exhibits for the eXposi-
ton
Every diploma will be accompanied
by a medal of bronze, except that OF
honorable mention. Awards will be
made on the reports of the interna-
tional juries to exhibitors whose con-
tributions are pronounced to be SUI
perior. The jury work is planned to
be completed two months before the
exposition closes, so as to give the
successful exhibitors chance to ad-
vertise their awards.

PRESCOT'PIAN
PSYCHOLOGY

We expect to pursue the interesting
study; but, shall hope to go more into
the science of the subject, comparing
one with another and also, trying to
group some that seem to us kindred
spirits in a way; or that might have
been, under perhaps more favorable
conditions.
But, for instance right here and now,
can you, my reader, put anyone (ka-
maaina, mean to say; for, we are
thinking mostly of them, in this study
with Rev. FIR. Clement? See? With
whom would you put Judge Dole? With
Bishop Libert, one might readily think
of Consul Schaefer. With Prof. Alex
ander one might say, Mr.. Thrum or DR..
Bishop. Now (without a speck of IA
voritism or partiality) for calm, quiet
reflection, for true democratic nobility
of mind and manner, what woman
would you place with Mrs Sanford B.
Dole in all this Territory? There is
not another of precisely, her bent"
With whom would one class S. M. Da-
mon? Why, Muhlendorf has the same
certain acumen; so has Pfotenhauer
and T. Give Davies and President
Cooke and Won Holt, Bishop Restarick,
Cation, Ballentyne, (the Castles),
Schaefer again and few others.
Mrs. w. K. harrington, Mrs. Coan
and Mrs Nina Fraser might be classed
with Mrs. Dole.
Our judgment is not perfect or al
ways even half correct; we are sug-
gestive only, be it understood. We are
only citing these cases, because we
wish many to think on this subject of
metaphysics or Psychology, for it is
a most enhancing study.
