NAMES CIDER BARREL
Foolish Western Editor Called Down for
His Bad Break About Views of Pine
Tree State Farmers
January 9, 1908.

His Bad Break About Views OF Pine
Tree State Farmers
PORTLAND, MAINE, January 3.-(Special CORE
spondence i'm copy of the Post, of Kansas
City, received here, that paper, in an exceedingly
foolish editorial, upon "The Prohibition Move
ment" makes the following statement:
"The Prohibition law is dead letter for all
practical purposes in nearly every city In Name
while in the country districts there is an lnord1-
nate amount of hard cider drlnklng' which the
law does not aim to prohibit. The farmers Of
Maine favor Prohibition almost to man. be-
cause the law given them the right to sell Cider
but if this legal right taken from them, as
it should be, most Of them would vote Tor Tree
rum
Anyone who is familiar with the long discus
sion of the Prohibition question has met the cider
argument times without number, and reference
to the census of 1900 shows exactly how much
it amounts to in the case of Maine.
According to the figures given by that, the
Twelfth Census, in the census year there were
made in this whole state just 1910 barrels Of
cider. Inasmuch as there are 5000 farms in
this state. it is at once seen that the amount Of
cider to be distributed among rural population
of the state furnishes very small per capita stock
for "inordinate hard cider drinking"
This however, has to be still further reduced
From the census it appears that from this II, $40
barrels of cider 2,161 were at once made into
vinegar 1t is probably under-statement Of
the fact, as anyone familiar with country affairs
knows that the greater part of farm-made cider
is used for vinegar.
Even were it assumed however, that the
naming OTTO barrels of cider are sold by the
farmers, as 'hard CIDER" it is at once that
the sale makes very small financial showing
among the farmers of Maine Of 59,299
farms only 1862 report the raising of apples at
all, so that presumably only these could make
any cider which allows and one-half barrels
of cider to each of one in every and one
half farmers in the state.
The census does not assign the farm value of
CIDER but it is probably true that the farm value
falls below $500 per barrel. Reckoning it at
$780, however, it might be assumed that each of
1862 farmers among the more than $4,000 farm
ers of this state had six dollars worth of cider
to SELL
To say that the farmers of Maine believe in
Prohibition "almost to man." because the law
gives little more than one in seven among them
the right to sell six dollars worth of cider in the
course of year. is to convict-not the Maine
farmer, but the man who makes the assertion of
being extremely "short" on facts, though he may
be long on fancy.

It seems strange to think of a school for dueiing, place where the fine art of shooting down an antagonist upon the field of honor may be learned. and yet such an institution exists in the city of Paris in the land where dueling has always been & popular method of settling personal quarrels. But how ever much such a schooi may flourish in France there is no place for simi- lar institution in America where true manhood has long since learned that there are better and nobler and bray CT methods of adjusting personal con- troyersies than on the field of honor.

(Special to the Reriew wN

LOLA, Kan, May -4.-The whole of Allen county is displaying a lively interest in the forthcoming trial of Samuel F. Whitlow, the alleged mur- derer of Miss May Sapp. The case will be the star attraction at the May term of court. The attorneys for the defense have perfected their plans for the trial. They claim to be in possession of recently discovered evi- dence which will prove the innocence of their client.
 Miss May Sapp. the twenty-year old daughter of J. N. Sapp, a promi- nent farmer living near the town Of Moran, was found dead in the yard of her fathers home on the night of September 27 last. Her throat was slashed, presumably with a razor that was found close by. Whitlow was ar. rested the next morning and charged with murder.
 Whitlow was a grain and feed mer. chant in Moran and a man of family He formerly was a school teacher and Miss Sapp was one of his pupils They had been friends for several years, though Whitlow declared they had never been intimate. After nc was taken into custody Whitlow told the officers that the girl had become infatuated with him and had repeat edly urged him to leave his family and run away with her. He said that on the night of the tragedy he me; her at the rear of her fathers house and told her that their relations U'ist cease, wheTsuUon cAc drew a raHOi across her throat

400 GALLONS OF
MILK Condemned

crookston, MINI, Aug 1S.-Deputy
State Creamery Inspector A. o. stor-
wick OF Croolxston arrested the first
violator of the pure cream and milk
laws recently implicated by discov-
cries at Crookston in the person of
Charles A. Carlson of Kennedy, Mimi,
Storvick served all the papers and
consulted with Carlson before bring
ing him before the court, where he
pleaded guilty and was fined SIS and
costs Carlson admitted that the milk
was a week old before he shipped 1t
and brought 1t into Kennedy Satur-
day. No local trains run through
Kennedy on Sunday and consequently
the cream and milk remained in that
Sunday night until late Monday aft
ernoon.
More exacting fines will be Imposed
on adulterators of the milk. They
are up against charges OF deliberate
fraud and offense on the pure food
laws of the state.
The creameries at st. Paul, Duluth
and Minneapolis must have been hav-
ing warm time lately. Storvick has
some powerful bluing which he pcurs
into condemned milk and stirs the
mixture up. The bluing renders the
milk totally unit and canLot be ex-
tracted by the creameries. The cream
cry inspector estimates that about 500
gallons OF this cream has gone into
the three cities mentioned this sum
