THE LIQUOR ISSUE.

There was an intense interest In the recent vote in Massachusetts cities upon the license question in this part of Connecticut by the license men, and no little satisfaction felt at the re- suit, which did not satisfy papers like that the Boston Transcript that the prohibition wave was receding. The Transcript reviewing the result said:
 Tt is an open question whether this whole license issue is not rapidly changing from moral or political to these campaigns has been the interest of the manufacturers. In Newbury- port manufacturer led the no-license forces; in Lynn the manufacturers are credited by some with having set the whole machinery of restriction in motion; in Worcester the feature of the fight has been, to outside ears, the solid phalanx for no-license pre- scented by manufacturers and large traders. The increased liability of employers has made them more eco- nomical of employees. When a fac- tory manager can satisfy himself that the concern loses money on the oper- ative who comes back from his noon hour fuddled with two or three drinks and smashes valuable apparatus, as practical man, he attacks the cause. The general demoralization of the Monday morning plant has also had its lesson in economics. Merely as selfish proposition. manufacturers have begun to believe that they can no more afford the saloon than their help can. The story of the past two years in Worcester would have much to say of the conversion of manufac- turers. They firmly believed at the start that no-license would be harm ful to the city They are in large part now as firmly convinced of the oppo- site, and no mean proportion of the no-license strength was drawn from this element of the city,
 This shows plainly enough why the liquor interest itself should see the wisdom of keeping the saloons a req sonable distance from manufacories if it desires to hold its own in the fight.

CONFUSING TO THE VOTERS.

New balloting laws are always more or less confusing to the voters and the new blanket ballot which is to be used in this state at future cleo tions will prove no exception. The new ballot law requires that the ballot, containing the names of all the candi- dates of each party printed on one sheet must be obtained from the elec- tion officer at the polling place and be prepared in the voting booth. The voter must make an X within the cir cle at the head of his party column, and if he wishes to "spHt' his ticket he must make similar mark oppo- site the name of the candidates in other political parties he chooses to vote for. He must then fold his ball. lot as directed, from which the num- bered stub shall be removed by the election officer before it is placed in the ballot box. Any ballot marked in any other manner than as provided will render such ballot void."
 Mistakes in counting votes, and in- correct election returns are as com mon with the new form of ballot as with the single party ballot; and the loss of votes on ballots that are thown out as wrongly marked by the voter will be much greater than in the past, as much more care and knowledge are required on the part of the voter.
 One result of this will be more time taken in counting, just as much lia- bility of making mistakes as before, and longer time in getting at the results of an election.
 The cities in the state which vote by machine are to be envied because of the greater accuracy and facility in making reports.
 This change promises to hasten the day of machine voting in all ConRecti- cut cities.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TT?

It requires a genius to interpret the intelligent purpose of dogs and 1t has taken twenty years for some- one to tell why dogs chase automo- piles and give therefor a good reason. Finally a police officer has found that these pursuing dogs are out on a lark which ends in a trunk. Peruse the following, taken from Boston paper:
 Why dogs chase autos is a topic which has heretofore given exercise to many analytical minds. It has been held by one group of thinkers that the dogs did it for fun, by an- other that the custom was an ex- pression of canine conservatism, and by third that the animals were in- spired by hatred of fumes of gasoline. Now comes Police Captain Ford Of Pittsburg, Pa, who has been inyesti- gating a hydrophobia scare in that city, and declares that all three of the groups are wrong, and that dogs regard the gasoline fume as a cheap and agreeable intoxicant Captain Ford solemnly asserts that he has dis covered dogs which became drunk on the fumes. Moreover he declares that chauffeurs are similarly affected, and that some of their number do not stop at inhalation but imbibe gasoline. There are many queer revelations in Pittsburg despatches, city which has excited much interest among sociolo- gists, but this report on the gasoline habit of dogs leaves the analysis of multi-nillionaire psychology way be- hind in public attention"

While the other three New England states are consumers, they were book ed for no taxes, which indicates no produetion.
 The decrease. in manufacturing states having little or no dry territory varies from .01 per cent. Gin Illinois, to 6.ss per cent. Gin Pennsylvania. The decrease in local-option states varies from 22e per cent. Gin Connecti- cut) to 7.79 per cent. Gin Ohio). The table indicates that more than half the decrease was caused by industrial conditions, and that the loss from both state and local prohibition was probably not over million barrels.

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF
 LIQUORS,

A recent circular sent out to the press by the United States Brewers association upon the production of fermented liquors in this country and the tax paid the government in the fiscal year which closed on June 3o, 1909, shows that the two states of North and South Carolina, of which states in the hilarious past it is said that the governors remarked that it was "a long time between drinks" are among the states of the south which do not pay tax on any ferment- ed liquors.
 New England states paid taxes on the following amounts in 1909:

Use More Than Grows.

1t is not generally known that at
the present time the people of the
United States use about three times as
much timber as their forests grow.
The Government foresters maintain
that, if we were everywhere practic-
ing forestry with resulting improve
ment equal to that made in Prussia,
where no more wood is cut than the
forests produce, the forests of this
country would be producing as much as
we use. What is wanted is a sustain
ed yield year by year, and it is neces-
sary, therefore. to have always a GER
tain number of trees ready to cut !;
there must be a proper proportion Of
trees of all ages. In Prussia this pre-
portion has been maintained with al
m)st mathematical accuracy. The
financial returns there make an excel
lent showing.
