GOOD ADVICE TO BREWERS

"Paranoia Reformatoria" is the learned name which the author of an interesting article i'll the Jour- nal of the Society of Brewing Tech nology calls the prohibition move ment which is sweeping the coun- try. His purpose is to prevent pro- hibition by encouraging moderation and true temperance, especially in the use of beer and light wines.
 Much that he says is true; but he says it almost, if not quite. too late to stop the demand for radical re- form. The brewers, as he admits, are not blameless. Instead of fight ing politically the movement for decent regulation of the liquor traf 6c, and instead of refusing to finance and sell goods to vile bar rooms, the brewers should have made years ago the concessions which they are now urging. Beer and wine are not essentially harmful, nor is the brewing and winery business essen tially immoral or lawless. Indeed, there is so little alcohol in beer that it is hardly to be classed as an in toxicant. But for years the liquor interests have been breeding ene- mics in the families of drunkards; and such enemies are not likely to consider the drink question philo- sophically.
 It may be true, as this writer MT. Heinemann, who is the editor of the Journal of Brewing Tech nology, asserts, that immoderate and irrational eating is more wide spread and more harmful than i'm moderate and harmful drinking but people do not believe it.
 If the brewers wish to save theil industry they vii. do well to bring about immediately reforms which MT. Heinemann urges.
 They should reform the saloor by doing away with bars and stand up drinking; they should encourage movements to limit the number 0 saloons; they should discourage tht treating habit; they should decrease the percentage of alcohol in beer they should discourage the sale 0 any intoxicants to persons unde

No Cut in Wages by Phelps. Dodge.

A New York dispatch says that an official of the Phelps-Dodge Co.,. is authority for the statement that his company will not reduce wages because of the depressed bushes conditions. In a interview this official said:
 "We have not reduced wages at mines, smelters, coking plants or on our railroads and other enterprises, notwithstanding the fact that cop per is at one-helf the price it stood two years ago. Wage reduction reacts against manufacturers and mine operators and everybody else, for in the last analysis it means a reduction in the purchasing power of the wage earner that is going to be felt in the pockets of every body The matter of wages is such small item that a cut would not do any thing toward helping business"

MAKING THE DESERT FERTILE

A parry of gentlemen are in the city who say that company has been organized with $5 OOO,O0O of capital which they claim has all been subscribed Gin Paris, Italy and this country" with which they propose to purchase 5OO,0OO acres of land in the desert between Tue son and Yuma, to be reclaimed by irrigation, says the San Francisco Chronicle. If there is any such body of land in that country which can be concentrated into single ownership, and if water can be found unappropriated with which to develop it. and if it can be done for $5,OOO, ,OOO-that is $1O an acre it will be blessing to the coun- try to have it done. It is a large risk to assume, and if the outcome is successful it will justify the en- terprising projectors in charging any price for the reclaimed land which settlers can be induced to pay.
 We mention this matter. solely for the purpose of raising the ques- ton as to what is a proper and reasonable compensation for enter prising men who will assume such risk. We have expressed our opinion that the price may proper ly be all that can be got for the land. The land is now worthless, except for some scanty feed which it may produce for stock. Exper- fence has shown that but few oi those who put money into such en. terprises ever get it back again The National Government finds it. self unable to make difficult recla' nations of large bodies of land for
 less than $25 per acre and from
