LOVES HIS LIQUOR FRIENDS.

Editor WoInan's National Daily: I
am a prohibitionist, but want to say
why I admire my liquor friends. 1t is
true-and somehow l can't gather the
grace to regret it-that among my
friends are IL hooting liquor fends.
For instance, we have here a certain
b%elligereut player of bridge. However,
there is no use holding him up to scorn.
He doesn't eve care. He'd be pleased
with the advertisement! And your cir
c~ulation is so extensive that he would
see it and m around and say

that. He often says funny things. hut
he can bolt his cups like a wild animal
1t would be nothing for him to swallow
an old Kentucky jug on his way home
and lick his chops for more. We shake
our heads about this when he is absent.

remark and shows his teeth--he Is sure.

set me thinking why we love eur1iquor
friends, however much the devil may
possess them; however seriously We dis.
approve of half the things they do One
reason is, no doubt, that we always hope
to teach them better. 1t is the fond
attitude Of the. humane instructor
toward the naughty pupil. The teacher
sees the other side Of it. And so the

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE
MOVEMENT EXTENDS
PLAN FORMED AT SARATOGA
SEEKS HARMONY
Majority In the Next Congress to Be
Secured by Unity of Forces,
object of the New
Organization

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The organ
izers of the recent Saratoga Demo-
cratic conference are arranging to ex-
tend the movement started there into
other states, in the hope that similar
movement elsewhere will help to re-
habilitate the national Democratic
party.
The hope was expressed at Saratoga
that the movement would spread
throughout the country and result in a
notable revival of Democratic prin-
ciples.
1t was pointed out that the party
needed all it's resources for the coming
congressional election.
To further this national movement
the executive committee of the New
York State Democratic league, which
was organized at Saratoga, will ar
range at a meeting next week for the
system of correspondence with Demo-
cratic leaders in various states, to
urge that they undertake the same sort
of disinterested, earnest propaganda
as that resulting in the Saratoga con-
ference.
The main object in view Is to har-
monize and encourage all kinds of
Democrats to get together on a broad
platform and work together for the
purpose of securing a Democratic ma
jority in the next house of represen-
tatiVeS.

SUICIDE OF SUTTON WAS

Report of Autopsy Experts Declares
That Wound Could Have Been
SeIf-lnflcted

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Although
the report of Surgeon Spears Of the
navy, who made the autopsy at Ar
lington Monday on the body of Lieu
tenant Sutton, has been submitted to
the navy department. it is known the
autopsy disclosed nothing inconsistent
with the theory that the lieutenant
shot himself, either accidentally or
with suicidal intent.
The bruise on the side of his face did
not extend below the skin. The hole
made by the bullet in the Uranium
showed distinct traces of powder
marks, and the bruise extending from
the bullet wound outward was such as
might have been made by the gas gen.
Grated by the powder at close range.
Moreover, the report will show that
the wound was of a character that
could have been inflicted by Lieutenant
Sutton himself without his arms being
in an abnormal position.

ABOUT FINANCES

HOPE OF PERFECTION

ered-To Redeem Many
Bonds
DUCHESS DE cHAULNEs
(Nee Theodore Shontz)
tBy Associated Press. ]

TOXIC, Sept. 15.-As was forecasted.
the speech tonight of Premier Jutaro
Katsura, before the bankers club OF
this city, was a review of the financial
condition of the country.
He expressed the belief that the
financial condition of the country is en-
couraging, and, while maintaining that
the present system of finances is eX-
cellent, he expressed the hope to stead
lily improve it until perfection is
reached.
The premier declared that the pol
Icy commenced the current year of the
development of resources and the
avoidance of unproductive expenditure
will be consistently followed.
He also expressed the hope that by
lowering the rate of taxation the bur-
den patriotically borne by a consider
able section of the population would
be relieved.
MARQUIS Katsura promised that for
the ensuing year sum considerably in
excess of $26,500.0e0 will be devoted to
the redemption of bonds.
Thanks for Support
He thanked the bankers for their
support and asked for the confidence
and continued unity of the people in
the governments policy announced to-
}
through peaceful development
In conclusion the premier said that
the foreign relations of Japan We're
universally good. The Anglo-Japanese
alliance, according to Katsura, will be
continued, based on the bulwark of
firmest friendship.
He spoke of the warm relations be-
tween Japan and America, where the
Japanese business men are now being
entertained so lavishly as the honored
guests OF a friendly nation, thus in
surfing closer unity and better under
standing of intercourse between them.
Premier Katsura deprecated any fear
of trouble between his country and
China by declaring that all outstand-
ing questions between them would be
settled by an exchange of concessions
which would contribute to the assur-
ance Of peace to the entire world.
