before the vessel was ready to pull

said, being based on extra work they
had performed, or overtime, without
proper compensation. At least there
was pilikia over the rate of payment
for their work. The officers Immediate

regular sailors endeavored to keep the
new men off. The steamer sailed, how

Claims Figures N1isrepresented
by the Whisky Trust Counsel

Rock Island, H., Dec 10. 1909.
Editor of the Argus Some time
ago there appeared a brief comment in
your editorial columns to the effect
that it was an evidence that prohibit
ton does not prohibit that the internal
revenue for 1909 showed that more
whisky was Withdrawn for consump-
ton during the past year. Tin spite of
the fact that thousands of saloons had
been closed by the Anti-Saloon league
recently, than ever before | suppose
you were mfsfed by the falsified figures
published shortly before the last local
option elections in Illinois by Levy
Mayer, the general counsel of the
whisky trust. The Illinois Issue Of
Dec 10 contains an exposure of this
latest move of the liquor forces. The
story is too long to reproduce here, but
you have no doubt received copy of
the Issue and can read it there. The
figures issued by the commission cf
internal revenue had been manipulated
by Mayer until it appeared that over
Is, OG0. 900 more gallons of whisky were
consumed during 1898 than during
1908. But the real facts of the case,
as the above article shows, are, that
almost 5000, 900 gallons less were con-
sumed in 1909 than in 1908. and al
most 20,000.000 gallons less than in
1907.
This is only another evidence of the
frauds to which the liquor fellows
constantly resort to defend them
selves. No doubt Mayors lying helped
to turn several towns wet in the last

On the stroke of midnight, Sat-
urday, October IS, the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition will close
it's gates for good. The attendance
has been revelation, surprising all
exp Citations and coming within
mailing distance of the 1000, 900
mark. The last month has held
up the average and largely because
the closing attractions have been
better in class than those which
went before. 1t is fitting that the
Stock Show should have proved an
unqualified success. Competent
authorities pronounce it the best
stock show seen in the United States
since the St. Luis Exposition in
1904. 1t has done much to arouse
interest in high grade horses, cattle,
swine, sheep ard other domestic
animals in the Northwest. No
more fitting finale for the Alaska
Y kon-Paciiic Exposition could have
been devised.

RIGHT CULTIVATION NEEDED

Alarmists tell US that in time the
o population of this world will be so
great that there will not be food en-
ough to sustain it. That day, even
if it should come, is so far in the
distance that the prediction does
not worry people. On the other
rand there are optimists who assure
us that the food supply will always
De abundant.
Probably the truth lies between
vo statements. If imperfect meth
,as of cultivation are followed so
hat the soil is worn out it will net
t,ke long to get face to face with
starvation. Some ancient countries
ave beer ruined by such methods
md today in our own land there
re large tracts of worn out soil,
made so by had farming.
But where good farming is follow
4 the soil retains and even increas-
Is its fertility. In England centuries
IF bad farming so impoverished the
soil that 200 years ago the yield of
wheat was but eight bushels to the
t"re. Improved farming has brot
ne yield up to thirty-two bushels.
icre in our own land better cultiva-
ion, the irrigation of the semi-arid
soils of the west and the drainage of
swamp lands north and south will
'esult in such an increased product
vity of the land that the fear of food
hortage will cease and the farmers,
'r:hardists and stock raisers receive
greater returns for their labor.

LIVING COST DOUBLE

The actuary Of the local labor
,:lions sent to Etheltert Stewart OF
he United States department of
commerce and labor a report on the
increased cost of living, which the
Unions urge shall be made a supple
nent of report that Stewart is now
preparing for the department on the
'ccupational risks of working men.
The figures contain the startling
assertion that the cost of living has
doubled since 1901. The report
argues that the wages of workers
have not increased more than 20
percent and that the net result is Il
decrease of wages through the re-
auction in their purchasing power
IF 80 per cent. In other words the
man who earns 500 IA month now,
is not getting more than the man
who was paid SO in 1901.
The report says: THE high
prices of meats are due to the tariff
Of $12 a carcass on meats at the
United States border. If we ever
have a meat famine in the country
before the starving people can be
fed they would have to pay $12 a
carcass for the privilege of import
ing meat from any other country.
The prices of meat in England
are about one-third less because
that country has no tariff. The
prices of coal have been raised also
because of the tariff on that neces-
sity.'

GETTING BADLY HIT

The liquor business continues to
receive hard body blows and they
are given from all directions. The
southern states keep on passing
prohibition laws or in strengthening
those already in existence. In other
states county and other local option
laws are also making themselves
felt. The result of it all is a dim
inished consumption of liquor as
the decreased internal revenue re-
turns clearly show.
The same story comes from other
lands. The revenue from liquor
has dropped considerably in Great
Britain, and now an interesting fact
comes from Germany. That coun-
try has increased largely the tax on
beer. The brewers and retail SELL
ers have sought to re CUP themselves
by raising the price, and here is the
result in kiel. In the government
dock, ard of that city the 5000
workmen were accustomed to drink
$4,000 bottles of beer every day.
These workmen resented the in
creased tax and turned to milk.

Hunting For Justice.

Justice is of course loudly demanded
by every iitigant in court of law. but
it Is frequent infirmity Of the human
mind to confuse justice with ones own
cause. The late Thomas B. Reed. ac-
cording TO writer In Law Notes. used
to tell an amusing story to illustrate
this tendency.
He Was once retained by an enter
