to carry the day. The liquor dealers on the other hand have caused general surprise by the new stand which they have taken. At a special meeting os the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers association held here a few days ago. a majority of the leading liquor deal CTS came out in favor of putting an end to any abuses now existing in the liquor trade. At the same time they expressed their intention of coming out into the open" and inviting dis cussion of the entire question. This is the policy which has been pursued by the prohibitionists for fifty years. The liquor dealers claim that they havC more facts on their side than the pro hibitionists and that while the fifty years fight has been waging, prohibi- tion in actual practice has proven a failure wherever it has been tried. Their evidence should prove interesting and the facts will show whether they are right or wrong. The significant point is the appeal to facts, for its marks the passing of the old days when silence rather than facts was regarded as the proper answer to any public at tack on an established business.

This is sig nificant as the first move on the part Of industrial interests to take advan- tage of the low rates offered by water carriers as opposed to the railroads.

public secured the information that
the little lawyer. garbed in stripes,
was engaged in the pleasant pas
time OF breaking large stones into
small ones Those familiar with
Hummers sojourn on the island
state that both reports were false
and that the prisonF has enjoyed
the bes, Of health. that he has not
been forced 10 wear the clothing Of
the other prisoners and that his
most strenuous labor has been in
eating the delicacies and perusng
the books and magazines brought
him by faithful friends. Thus is
