Bravely Said.

If the evils that beset this old
world are ever righted, the people
who profess to believe in the ever
present and over-ruling sovereignty
OF God must quit their shilly-shallying
compromising attitude on all ques-
tions involving moral principles.
The supreme law of life is to do
right because 1t is right.
Under that law there is no next
best" but always the best.
The oft-repeated "If you can't get a
whole loaf, better take half a loaf. "
may be good advice as regards mate
rial matters, but it is not applicable
to morals.
The only position that is tenable is
to do right because 1t is right.
The assumption that we cannot get
the best thing, or, in other words.
that there are conditions under which
It is not best to do right, is prompted
by lack of faith.
In the affairs of life there are thou
sands OF things that we can give up
and places where we can make con-
cessions-but when we enter the do
main of morals there is but one pole
star--we must do right because il Is
right. You can certainly trust God

THE DECEITFUL FARMER.
His Outrageous Traffic in Watered
Stock

We might we'll cease our railing
at Rockefeller; the farmer is the real
monopolist. We might as well quit
hamnlering Hartman and cussing
Carnegie until we can squeeze the
water out OF the farm produce. For
the farmer is caught with the goods.
and science tells us the exact proper
ton of the water in his truck"
For example, beef Is 1875 per cent
water, = mutton 10, lamb $50, and
pork 60.9. Such a watering of stock
Is enough to make a traction monop-
olist look like a drought in the desert.
Milk is n to SS per cent. water,
and cream 32.2 to AS, and this is even
before 1t has come in contact with the
pump. Potatoes, our old reliable
spuds, are 76.7 per cent. water, yams
1916, carrots, S5.7, cabbage 500, tur-
nips 90, spinach 90.6, muchrooms
93.7, and cucumbers 96. What COM
fort is there for a vegetarian in such
figures as these?
And even the stalwart onion, the
Goliath of the grocery. is 89.1 per
cent. water! Only a smell more than
10 per cent of real onion!
Fruits are So to 90 per cent. water,
and early spring strawberries are
nearly all water, and sour water at
that! Even the great American hen
has seemingly been corrupted by ou.
modern methods, and eggs are S5.7
per cent. water.
And is this water capitalized? II
it? Look at your grocery bills and
behold! At the sight OF them we ara
almost ready to sing a new "Marsel-
laise," to cry. "Conspuez lie farmer!
A bas his watered stockl" But we
refrain. Secretary Wilson tells us
that the farmers boy insists ON com.
ing to the city. Let the deluded vic
tim come. Let him hasten to his un-
doing. Let us send our boy out to
run the farm, and the next genera
tion shall see our revenge! -Milwau-

Better OF Without saloons.

Kansas City, Kan, a city of almost
100000 population, is the largest
prohibition city in the United States.
1t has been represented that the town
has gone bankrupt" since the sa-
looms were ordered out. that business
has been ruined, and that people are
moving away. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth. Leading busi-
ness men and bankers of Kansas City,
Kan, declare that business was never
better than now. Miss Farrow, city
treasurer of Kansas City, said to the
writer that there had never been more
cash in the city treasury than now;
all judgments have been paid and the
city employees are paid in cash in
stead of scrip as heretofore The in
come of the city is just as large, de-
spite the fact that hundreds of sa-
looms or joints have been closed. c.
L.. Brokaw, cashier of the largest
bank In Kansas City, Kan, has en-
ployed from his own resources a corps
OF stenographers to reply to questions
about prohibition features in Kansas
City. John w. Briedenthal, a prom
inent banker and politician, says the
business and professional men are
aroused at the statements sent broad
cast by brewery interests, that Kan
sas City is suffering in business way
because of the saloons being closed.
Business was never better" is the
general sentiment of every business
man in the Kansas town. The labor

Is realizing that the city is far better

The Minerva (O.) News says: "A
drink known as orange soda and
sold by an Ironton dealer, was ana

cent. of alcohol. The dealer was

Neither orange nor soda entered into
the combination. Pear cider is
another beverage which has caused
much trouble. The State dairy and
