sion on the question as to whether
or not 1t is right to tax the liquor
traffic in d community in which
public opinion viii not support pro-
hibitory legislation. There is no room
for discussion on the question as
TO whether or not the so-called rev.
enue argument ought to be consider
ed in connection with the prohibi-
ton question. petaining the liuor
traffic for the sake of the revenue
1T produces is a political method
that is simply infamous. The facts
concerning it are well stated In
recent vigorous article written by
Rev. Dr.. p, A. Baker, in which he
says:
What spectacle 1t is for the
city and state to collect revenue
from the weakness and wickedness
OF the more ignorant and depraved
Of their citizenship. The schoolhouse
We erect, the streets we pave and
the waterworks we build with this
money that drips with the very
hearts blood of the helpless Will
be looked upon by the coming gen.
crations as monument of the ma
tions chief sin and shame-the
cruelty of half civilized people.
Woe to him that buildeth town
with blood and cstablisheth city
by iniquity."
I'VE are told that this traffic
/ should aid in bearing the burdon
of its own rayagc How can It do
this? How can it bear the burden
of the father and the mother when
the son Is brought home drunk or
stabbed or snot, or, worse still him
self murderer? How can ii bear
te burdens OF the wife when her
husband, who at the altar pledged
the sacred VOWS that made them
one has become cruel, sOdden and
lmDruted and In whom every ten.
der word, look and act has been
eitaced? How can it bear tho bur
dens of childhood starved, frozen.
unschooled and unloved, robbed of
fair chance in the race of life?
How can few worse than tainted
dollars help bear the burdens of
those stricken ones?
oh" exclaims the high taxist.
that is sentiment" 1t is not senti-
ment. 1t is relentless, cruel, awful
truth. We'll" says another, Nethe
license builds and maintains asy-
lums and iniirmaries." Yes, and It
nils them, too. But where is the
burden bearing in it? There is not
much comfort to the wife whose
husband hos been slain by bandits
to know that his executioners saved
any doctor bills and paid funeral
expenses. Nor does it comfort the
friends of the insane who we made
so by drink to know that the state
which has taken the victims money
in a form of revenue pays back a
part of it in looking after his
wrecked life.
But even arguing from the cold
blooded dollars and cents PROPOSE
ton it does not bear one-quarter
of the gurden it creates. Pioneer.

WHAT becomes oil Time?


Here in New York, busiest OF all
American cities, days, weeks, months
and years slip past men and women
who are too strenuously engaged to
mark their Hight. Not until the an
nual birthday rolls around does the
average man or woman stop to con
slider the flight of time.
Could you divide time during
the past year, five years or ten
years of your life and state specilS-
cally how 1t was spent?
One reader of the Sunday World
stopped to figure out the flight Of
time and secured some astonishing
results.
The man was at an afternoon tea.
lie did not like afternoon teas, out
the debutante In whose honor this
particular tea was given had faith
er who knew a man whom the man
who went to the tea wanted to
know SO after he had said some
pleasant things to the girl with her
arms filled with American Beauties
he stirred some tea that he had 10
intention. OF drinking and listened.
woman with Il well groomed
coiffure SHOOK hands with one whose
hair was pure white.
You haven't been over for an
age" complained she of tho white
hair.
Il know, knowI" admitted she
OF the brown coilfure. But am

piled the elder woman, lit Will not
merely go. 1t will fly"
The man pricked up his ears.
Fer the woman of thirty-hve, tins
merely goes. For the woman OF
iiity-iiye, it lilies. But where?
The man forgot the annoyance OF
afternoon teas and began doing
mental arithmetic. When he reach
ed home, he took Il pencil and paper
and went to work. And this is
what he found woman of thirty
five may have done with her time:
Starting with babyhood. when she
presumably slept more than half
her time, as Il normal baby should,
and decreasing this avenge until as
a society woman or business wo
man she allows only eight hours for
sleep, she has slept away fourteen
years of the thirty-fve.
During her babyhood, at least
fifteen minutes out OF every two
hours during the day time, she was
being fed. Later, when school,
social or wage-earning interests
occupied her waking hours, she
might allow twenty minutes for
breakfast. twenty minutes for
lunch and an hour for dinner. Al
lowing two hours day for eating
in thlrty-fve years she spends two
years, II months, weeks, days
and 22 hours at table. If from the
time she is eighteen years of age
to the time she is thirty five. she
gives herself up to society with
its luncheons running an hour Its
dinners two hours and its after
theatre or ball suppers adding an
other hour it Is MT difficult to raise
the amount OF time spent at table
to three years

THE REYNNNE QUESTION.

There is a theory sometimes ad-
vocatCd in favor OF high license
fees 1t is that the liquor traffic
ought to bear some of the cost OF
the expenses which it imposes upon
the community
On The other hand there are
friends who denounce the taking
OF revenue from the liquor traffic
as partnership with the evil, and
charge the license system with col
lecting revenue which comes from
sin and sorrow and shame.
Such differences OF opinion, such
controversies will always arise over
any attempt to regulate what is es-
sentially evil and ought not to be
permitted,
There may be room for discus
