1t is often charged that remov- ing the saloon will make taxes higher, as though the people of a great state have no financial Judgment when money clinks. Here is a bit of history.
 A gallon Oi liquor, just one ga lon, was purchased by a young man. He attended a dance. That gallon of liquor caused trouble for tie young man shot down an- other in cold blood A widow and five children were left. The mur- derer was put on trial, which cost the county S12OO and the fendant was sent to the peni- tentiary for, life. He was twenty one years old He may live 35 or 40 years. It will cost somebody something. The widow with her Tive children are bowed in grief and must be maintained by some one. The parents of the young man are passing their days in sorrow.
 All this trouble and expense from one gallon of liquor. And yet we must maintain the saloon 1 to pay our taxes!
 Away with such an argument It is too flimsy to stand any kind Cf test. The saloon is a liability against a state in every instance. 1t has never been an asset to a commonwealth or to common de cency. Arkansas is going dry oth CT states have gone dry. and the dryer they are, the better fer ev- erybody, particularly for the men who make the liquor and the men who sell it.
 Then what about the blasted young life ekeing out his days behind prison bars? Tn the bal ance his worth would out weigh all the revenue from all the sal oons oi the world, though the dollars be piled mountain high. Ask his mother who through sleepless night and weary days tried to train him to be good. If fathers hearts were as fond as mothers, the tariff, the banks the railroads, yes even the state house would stand in the back ground until a law was made to protect these boys and girls oi ours from the man of the liquor traffic.
 State wide prohibition was bill No. 1, in the Tennessee leg stature.
 We are beginning to think it will be the 1O1 in ours, if at al. and it is on account of the indif- ference of the voting constitu- ency. It may be cruel, but some times it seems that these indif ferent ones ought to feel the
 sting of liquor just once.

CURED WITHOUT A

About q year and eight months sgo
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full Of boiling grease was upset and
It went all over one side Of the babys
face and head. One Of the family ran
and wiped the scald with towel and
you may think what a mess she made,
pulling the entire skin of. We took her
to chemist who told us 70 get doctor,
which " did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard to put
on. But it all festered and ] thought
the baby was disfigured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment used about three
boxes and il was wonderful howit healed.
In about FIVE weeks il was better and
there wasn't a mark to tell where the
scsld had been. People used to ask me
If that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
l told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is Just like velvet and
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cuticura cured three other children Of
ringworm besides, so have good cause
TO thank It for what &c has done. Mrs.

having twice robbed. Edward F. Rand,
civil engineer, who claims to be a

endeayoring to escape from the bur.

nearly three weeks ago and before he
could get out again the police discov-
cred signs indicating that the man
who had twice robbed Cunts cigar
store had made his entry through the
cellar. They at once posted watch
ahG Rand's retreat was cut off though

saloon which adjoined the cigar store,
There he obtained blankets. food. mag

Unable to escape by daylight be-

FOUR KILLED AND

THIS is RECORD OF A CHICAGO
MoTORMAN.
In Each Case He Is Exonerated by

Wore CareIess.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Since four persons
have been killed before the wheels Of
electric cars Of which he was motor
man and two women having been
MANNED for life. L. A. Brodway is now
taking voluntary rest ito recover his
nerve"
Within another week, he expects to
be at work again and says he trusts
his car never will kill another per-
son. He is not particularly sure of
such luck, as he says people seem to
be taking greater chances with cleo
trio cars every day.
In none Of the accidents In which
his car has figured has Brodway been
censurej by the coroner.
He Is an employe of the Chicago G.
Milwaukee Electric line
"A motorman in charge of these
new high-power electric cars he
says, has a nerve-raking job all the
time. l have worked on steam roads
and ! would rather take an express
run at sevonty-fiye miles an hour with
a locomotive than try to keep the ex-
press schedule of the electrics You
have to make fifty-five miles an hour.
People generally take all kinds OF
chances with electric cars. They COM
pletely disregard the fact that the
electrics often are running faster than
steam cars They jump in front OF
electric cars, where they would give a
steam train a wide berth"

BIG DEAL IN PORTLAND
WAREHOUSE PROPERTY

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2S.-A deal in
Portland warehouse property to the
value of s1,500,0O0 has become public
by the recording of twenty-eight deeds
in which John w. Craig OF Los Angeles
appears as purchased The property
consists of a string of nine blocks ly-
ing between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets and extending from Hoyt TO
Quimby streets The deal Is not so
important because OF the high valua-
ton of property as it is by reason
of the mystery which surrounded the
barterlng which preceded the sale.
The local agent of the vendee has
offered to lease portions Of the pur-
chase for from two to three years, It
is notable too that the same tier of
blocks lying one block east is Che
property of the Hill railroads and that
the keys TO this which connect the pres
ent purchase with the water front are
also owned by the Hill interests. 1t is
suggested that the purchase has to do
with an unofficial announcement that
1t is the intention of the Hill lines to
extend their lines into California.

BILL FOR FLOODING LANDS
IN CALIFORNIA FAVORED

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The house
committee on public lands. which had
under consideration the bill providing
for the flooding OF certain lands in
California. has reported favorably on
that measure. The land To which the
bill refers Is practically valueless and
1t Is proposed to try an interesting ex-
pertinent with II
1t Is in the wash Of the Santa Ana
river near Redlands. CAL For almost
a half mile on each bank OF the river,
there Is no soil whatever. and 1t is
pointed out that bouldels, gravel and
coarse sand prcdominate. Only few
applicants have flled requests for the
land.
Tho secretary of the interior has
withdrawn the land from further en-
try.
The idea Is to flll this porous land
with water which will sink to bedrock,
and II is thought that 1t will make its
appearance again In the lower part OF
the river. where 1t may be diverted
into the irrigation canals and also
feed the flowing wells. The report
emphasizes the fact that IL these flood
waters are not turned into the earth.
they will speed on down the rivers
course and empty into the ocean with
out serving any good purpose what
ever.
The government incurs no expense.
RS II merely permits persons to HOOD
the lands In question.
