1t will thus be observed that the statutory gem
eral license laws arc being rapidly superseded BY
prohibition and local option.
The above presents one picture-but here is
another There were produced in the United States
during the year Of 1907 he latest statistics at hand
in the World Almanao) 50692,0O2 barrels OF fer.
mented liquors. while there were imported into this
country spirits, malt liquors and vines (inclnding
champagnes) of the value ofupward OF $50,
The average annual increase in the manufacture
OF LIQUORS and wines in the United States has been
from one to Eve million barrels per annum, each
barrel being of capacity not exceeding thirty
gallons
There is only one nation which consumes more
wines and liquors than the United States land that
is Germany. The annual average for Germany is
9 O2O674OOO gallons and for the United States 2,
l9,69O,9l1 gallons while in Russia, havinga popu
lation larger than either the United States or Ger
many the annual average consumption OF liquors is
but 349 1874 1892 gallons. Russia is a ea-drinking
nation where tea of certain kinds sells as high as
S125OO pound-but that is another story. The
United Kingdom follows closely behind the United
States in the consumption OF malt liquors and wines
but the percentage of wines and alcohol consumed
is very small France and Italy each consume 800
100000 gallons of wine annually but the consump-
ton of malt liquors is proportionately small
The Mirror has compiled the above figures from
reliable authorities and the deductions to be drawn
are these: vast amount of liquor is consumed
annually by the inhabitants OF the world and it is
all matter of education. People can get along
without liquors as we'll as with them. The small
comparative consumption of fermented liquors by
the people of RUSSIA frstclass nation--proves
that fact beyond dispute
Therefore returning to the subject OF sumptuary
legislation it seems almost conclusive that state
strictions are of little value. National legislation
only can be effective in killing the liquor traffic as
has been shown in wipng out lotteries in the United
States through national laws,

HUMAN LIFE for May contains very readable
and interesting story of Madame Steinheil, the
beautiful and enhancing lady who is now charged
with numbering M. Felix Faure, while President of
the French Republic, her husband and several
others. The writer, Vance Thompson, likens
Madame Steinheil unto the famous Madame Du
Barry who played similar roll in French history
as the mistress of Louis XIV and who was beheaded
during the Reign of Terror in 1893. 1t is pow
we'll known that Madame Steinheil under the Faure
administration was the most important parsonage
in France-behind the scenes-and her intrgues
were so numerous it would be folly to attempt to

EDIT RIAL.

In an editorial on the Japanese question in a
recent number of the Outlook ex-Presdent Roose-
welt says:
"Those well-meaning but fatuous advocates of
peace who would try to prevent the upbulldlng OF
our navy utterly msread the temper of their country
men. We Americans are ourselves both proud and
high spirited, and we are not always by any means
far-sghted. If our honor our interests were
menaced by foreign power this Nation would fight
without regard to whether or not its navy was
efficient In the event of crisis arising, the peace
advocates who object to our building up the navy
would be absolutely powerless to prevent this
country going to war; All they could do would be
to prevent it's being successful in strong
navy Is the surest guaranty OF peace that America
can have and the cheapest insurance against war
that Uncle Sam can possibly pay
While Mr. Roosevelt says there is danger
of Japanese invasion and pays high compliment
to the little brown brothers, nevertheless he winds
up as usual, with wild and vicious war whoop
These editorials we're written many moons ago
and the situation has changed materially since then.
The United States is the second naval power in
the world. As General F. D. Grant truly says, 'the
navy and army fight for peace when engaged IN
war;" Logically, then, the best thing to do is te
fight for peace peaceably before begins. Ninety
per cent of the wars of the world have been pre-
cipitated by cheap, claptrap politicians who sci
their mouths agoing-and then walked of-and lef
them going
Roosevelt's war whoop in the Outlook, super
vsed by one of the most distinguished Ministers o
the Gospel in this country--Dr. Lyman Abbott
sounds dscordant note which jars upon the fine
sensibilities of humankind.
But the Outlook is smart publication.

The Oldest Living Triplets.

According to Congressman Charles
H. Cowles, of North Carolina, the
oldest living triplets in the world are
the Gibbs, born in Wilkesboro, \. c.,
May 2, 1898. and now in their seven
ty-seventh year. One of the triplets'
William Washington Gibbs, resides in
Atlanta, Ga, and the other two, Rob
ert Jackson Gibbs and Thomas Lafay-
cite Gibbs, live at Boomer, \. c.,
within few miles of the place Of
their birth. The three brothers are
hale. hearty. industrious. sober and
splendid citizens, in spite of the fact
that they endured the hardships and
privitations of four years of Civil War
and years of struggle with poverty.
All three of them volunteered early in
the war, and fought in the same COM
pany of the same regiment in many
battles. Bethel was the first real
battle of the war between the States

less Governor Wilson himself sees
fit to change his mind.
When Gov. Wilson does not grant
"a pardon 1t does not mean the de-
cision is final. In some cases he lays
away the papers with view to stu
dying them further or looking more
closely into the facts or TO let time
pass before acting, but in many cases
he does act and writes refused, across
the envelope in whcih the papers
are contained. That ends the case
and it is cases of this kind that
Gov. Cox will refuse to consider in
the future. The truth of the matter
is that Gov. Cox has been imposed
upon considerably since he has been
acting as Governor. and he is tired
of it. Like all Governors or Acting
Governors his heart has become con-
siderably hardened by too many APP
peals.

No Clemency Where Gov. Wilson
Has Refused to Grant
Pardons.

Frankfort. Ky, Aug. 2s.-Pardon
seekers received rude check during
the last week while Lieut.. Gov. Cox
was acting as Chief Executive of the
State for the Acting Governor laid
down the law to Averal persons who
applied to him for pardons after hav-
ing been refused clemency by Gov.
Wilson. Gov. Cox says he will not
stand for this and where Gov Will
son has refused to grant a pardon the
Acting Governor will refuse to con-
slider an application.
1t has been customary, and has
been done frequently, for the friends
of convict or a man in trouble to
apply to Gov. Wilson for a pardon. II
refused application then would be
made TO Gov. Cox, it being thought
that they would have a new chance
with new man. But Gov. Cox has
caught onto the scheme, and while

he adopted the rule that where a
pardon has been refused by the Gov.
ernor that ends the case as far as
chances for a pardon are concerned
during this administration. Gov. Cox
says 1t would not be right or proper
for him to grant a pardon after the
Governor of the State had refused
to grant a pardon, even though, af-
ter hearing the facts, he should think
that the Governor had made a mis-
take.
1t came this way. Application fol
pardon was made to Gov. Cox and he
said he would consider the case and
look into the facts. He took down the
papers and the records in the case
and much to his surprise found that
application had been made previous
ly to Gov. Wilson and the Governor
had declined to grant a pardon. Tha'

In time, and there are persons who
will not have an amalgam filling even
in back tooth, out OF sight. For
these people for a grinding tooth
gold inlays are made.
In whatever sort of tooth the gold
inlay is to be placed,t cavity when
drilled ont is furrowed down it's sides
within with little grooves,into which
corresponding mouldings on the inlay
will fit, this to hold the inlay more
securely in place and the better to
enable 1t to Withstand pressure ap-
piled to 1t from various directions.and
with the cavity finished form or
pattern ID taken of 1t in wax. Into
one end of this little form or pattern In
wax is thrust delicate wire, by
which it can be handled without hand
ling the form itself. and then this
pattern is set in tiny flask, and
around 1t, as in foundry the
moulders pack sand around patterns
in making moulds in bigger TASKS,
plaster is packed.
When this tiny mould containing
the wax pattern for the inlay has
hardened the wire is drawn out of the
pattern and the wax is melted out of
the mould, and then there is the
mould ready for the casting, which is
done by the aid of various special APP
planes made for the purpose. Then
you break the little plaster mould and
there ,release,you have the gold in
lay.
1t is set into place with cement
which after an hour or two in which
to harden holds the inlay firmlyand
securely anchored. In due time
later the dentist will grind 1t down

the surrounding tooth surface and

ALLOYED GOLD
INLAYS
Now Being Used by Dentist
In Filling Teeth.
DELEGATE Work Required To Plug
up Cavities in the Human
Molars.

The modern dentist now makes
gold inlays as well as inlays of por-
celain.
In making an ordinary gold filling
the cavity in the tooth is made larger
within than at its opening, thewalls
thus contracting helping to hold the
filing in. The cavity for q gold inlay
must of course be at least as large
at the opening as at any interior
point. for the inlay is in solid block
There may be various reasons for
putting into a tooth gold inlay In
stead of filling malleted in. For one
reason it may be that the walls of the
tooth are too frail to stand the mallet-
ing without danger of breaking.or 1t
may be thai the gold inlay is t. gu
into a back, gri llins tooth where Il
nalleted filling would not serve the
purpose. An ordinary gold filling
such as is malleted in is male of pure
goid;if it were otherwise It could not
be worked;a gold inlay can be all0yed
to make it of degree of hardness
Sufficient to withstand use
Porcelain inlays are commonly set
in front teeth, where they do not show
as a gold filling would. The porcelain
powders of which such inlays are
made are produced in practically
endless variety of shades, which can
be further varied by combination.
1t is possible to make a porcelain
inlay that will match the surrounding
tooth so perfectly that except upon
the closest inspection it is impossible
to tell where the tooth leaves off
and the inlay begins, Porcelain in
lays, which are moulded into shape
from the plastic material and then
baked, may be set in grinding teeth,
but this Is not commonly done. A
