Paris, Oct. Is Revolutionary leaders
throughout France are today glosling
over the success of yesterdays revolu'
tIonary demonstration, which they de-
clare is but the fOre-ruuner of 80 armed
revolution against the government. Pari-
sian revolutionary writers today declSre
that France was delivered into the hands
of the enemy yesterday when anarchists
were permitted to stop tr'ffic fur 3 hours
at the buisest time of the dsy to cry
death to The ruler Of friendly nation
and to urge its people to revolt "
The writer's ssy that the next time the
mob will not ea'her for peaceful dem
onstrstion bat will orgsnizs armed, and
will direct itself against France. Then,
hey say, the 20, 900 troops that preserV.
ed order during yesterdays procession
will be utterly unable to cope with the
mob.
From all over France reports are COM
ing 10 today Of demonstrations organ zed
ostensibly as protestations against the
execution of Francisco Ferrer, the Span
ish revolutionist. The leaders of the
Freoch revolutionary party are taking
advantage of the Ferrer agitation to
arouse the people against all organized
government.

Conditions ia Spain.

Madrid, via Bendsye, Oct. 1S-
More fnel has been added to the rapidly
growing fame Of disaffection throughout
Spain by the announcement that the
Cabinet has had introduced in the Oortes
bill providing for the further extern
sion OF the CONSUMPTION by forcing con-
scripts who have already bought their
exemption from service for $500 to psy
an additional 800, or serve, despite
their original purchase. As a result OF
this bill, If 1t is passed, thousands OF
peasant families, poverty. stricken by
their efforts 10 raise the $500 to keep
father OF son at home, will 6nd their
sacrifice unsvalliDg. The bill strikes d.
rectly at the poorer classeP, and has

Ferer execution.

manded that the law exemp!ing legis.
lative officials from prosecution be sus.
pended to allow the trial of Ostegs by
court. martial. The conservatives are
generally understood to favor the sus
pension Of the rule, while the liberals
will 90 to great lengths TO save Ortega.
The legislative struggle on this goes
ton is very likely TO develop the crisis
vhich will mean the downfall OF thu
present cabinet.

oudgel in defense of the temperance cause.
 MT. Miller who is a speaker of great eloquence and convincing logic, showed up the liquor traffic in all the hideous- ness of it's true light. He spoke of the three remedies which have thus far been tried, in the efforts to cope with the evil. i. G., moral suasion, regulation and mo- license or prohibition He showed the fallacies of both the temperance pledge and the regulation of the traffic, and pointed out the remedial effects of the no-license idea
 By way of introduction, MT. Miller drew a word picture of early American history. going back to Jamestown and the year 1919 and illustrating how a smp's captain brought twenty negroes from Africa and sold them as slaves to the Virginia colonists, thereby starting the traffic which, nearly two hundred and fifty years later, almost caused the United States of America to perish Then he pictured the beginning of "the second slavery" the liquor traffic in this country, which, like its predecessor, has grown to gigantic proportions, and, like slavery, threatens the peace, prosperity and perpetuity of the republic, Mir Mil Ter spoke in part as follows:
 I come to give you facts, not fancies There are about 225, ,OOO liquor dealers in the United States. Over 2,OOO, ,OOO, 900 gallons of liquor were manufactured the past year. The traffic paid the govern ment about $.200. 100000 revenue. The American Grocer estimates that about $1 0,00O, ,000 were spent for liquor last year in this country. This amount in silver dollars, placed edge to edge, would reach around the world and have enough left over to give 75, 900 boys full college course at Harvard or Yale; in dollar bills it would make pile 100 miles high. By counting 200 & minute, tsn hours a day, it would require 43 years to count it. It would cover an area of five square miles in dollar bills. It would place SIVO OpSA ONOA 1SbsCA Ol kllG $1 300 upon every word or $47 ,OOO upon every verse.
 The amount of liquor drunk in this country last year would fill ditch five feet wide and one foot deep from Bos- ton to Cincinnati; 100, ,O0O people, di- reetly and indirectly, go down to pre- mature deaths in this country every year as result of liquor.
 But hear some one say, "The town needs the money" Then why not give a license to the gambling den, the opium joint and the house of ill fame? Iwould as soon have one of them around as the average saloon. They will gladly pay you the license. In fact. the saloon prepares for and makes business for the others ill thousands of cases-alas, they are often joined.
