LICENSE A FAILURE

Claim That Saloon Is Needed to Pay

Does the saloon help pay the taxes

That is the question answered in

What is the net result with our
American cities which have tried this
license system for half century and
over? Practically every large license

The process Of elimination which has
been in progress .:.4oEg the followers OF
the opposition to the Vardaman contin-
gent, starting with the withdrawal CT
w. d. Anderson and followed by that OF
Judge Critz, was still further advanced
by the withdrawal Of C. II. Alexander
from the race, which was the feature OF
the caucus Friday afternoon.
The retirement of Mr.. Alexander fol
lowed Caucus of the senators and rep
resentatiyes with tho four candidates in
opposition to Nardaman.
Between ninety and hundred men as
sembled, they having been notified that
there was to be an important confer
ence with the conservative" candidates.
There were no others admitted to the
caucus, and just what occurred by way
Of getting at the matter OF determining
who should drop cut WAS not stated. The
proposition was tie elimination Of either
Mr. Percy OF Mr.. Alexander, and, as I'M
derstood, a ballet was taken, which re-
suited in the withdrawal of Mr.. Alexan-
der.
Mr. Alexander accepted the result in
characteristic good-humored vein, thank
ing The men who had stood by him from
the start of his canvass and ueging them
to stand together for the otEer men on
that side.
This being over, and the fact com
municated to the caucus, the balloting
was begun, ard the first ballot showed
a pickup all around, the thirty or more
Alexander votes having been variously
distributed, though these profting most
were Messrs. Percy and Kyle, Vafdaman
securing several, as estimated by his fol-
lowers.
Tie second ballot OF the evening show
ed IA rather more decided gain for the eX-
governor, who attained to his maximum
for the series with total of rs, and was
within ten votes of the nomination, the
nearest lie has approached to that much
desired goal as yet.
Speaker Street continues TO receive
few votes on each ballet, and it remains
to be seen lust what figure lie Will cut
during the next few days. He himself
is in a quiescent state of mind regarding
the matter.
The caucus adjourned until Mon@ay
night, but the chances arc there VII nct
be another ballot before Wednesday

Neichbor's Chickens,

A Philadelphia business man bought
a country home near Devon a short
time ago, beautiful place about six
teen acres, upon which before his ad-
vent an old negro with large fam
lily had been employed as caretaker.
The new owner had resolved to live
close to nature and raise his own
truck and vegetables, as well as con-
duet a poultry yard and keep some
livestock, and thought it advisable to
retain the negro as sage and mentor
in matters agricultural.
Calling the old man into his study
one morning he said to him:
Jefferson, do the folks living op-
posite you keep chickensI

Of the word always knows when it is
time to take his departure, so there is
no need for the college girl to burn
the midnight oil in efforts to make up
for time lost in entertaining a friend
which should have been given over to

The social world with all its bright
and dazzling lights finds but little sym
pathy with studious pursuits and is an
enemy to the college girl and her
studies. continued Mr.. Briggs.
"A chaperon is, of course, a neces-
sary evil. and while approve of them
in the house when young lady re-
ceives callers, can hardly imagine one
seated in a room when a young man
calls 70 see lady friend with serious

lions and little social affairs, which

chooser of her friends of the opposite
sex, and his habits should suit her;
and if so no one else should inter

casionally looks around, and, if she

Now the hen goes TO sleep; but the
neighbors cant. Six months ago the
rooster whipped a cat on the steps Of
the Asbury NJ. E. church. The neigh
bors admired the rooster for the feat,
because cats have been a nightly nut

Some local men of enterprise, in
Connemara, Ireland are wondering if
the plant known as wild fax" which
grows extensively in the mountains Of
Connemara, could be developed into
a native industry. It is said that if
the fax was put through a proper
course of preparation it would stand
the test of the best manufactured
rope or Irvine. Steps are being taken
to organize a syndicate to try to de-
velop the growth of the plant by the
peasantry. 1t is thought that the
texture being SO good in its wild state,
cultivation would greatly improve it.

Explosive tarPoon.
Whaling with MODERN methods ia
Alaskan waters is an exciting game,
especially for those who are new to
the business. The modern whaling
steamer is little vessel almost round
on the bottom, which enables it to be
turned and managed with the greatest
ease Mounted at tie bow is a small
cannon that shoots a harpoon weigh
ing more than 100 pounds and having
an explosive head, called the bomb.
II the shot is good and the harpoon
is planted squarely behind the fin the
bomb crashes into the lungs, killing
instantly; if not, the struggle may last
for several hours.
After a whale has been killed the
carcass is brought alongside the
boat and inflated SO that it will float.
A long coil of rubber hose, one end
Of which is attached to q pump, and
the other to a hollow spear-pointed
tube of steel, with perforations along
its entire length, IS used for this pur
pose.
The spear is thrust we'll down into
the whales side, the air pump started
and the body slowly filed with air.
When inflated enough TO keep it afloat
the tube is Withdrawn, the incision
plugged with oakun and the carcass
cast of. a buoy with flag is at
tached to the body, and it is then set
adrift to be picked up at the end OF
the days hunting.
The whaling station is a group OF
buildings situated in a bay or cove
near enough to the feeding grounds to
allow the steamer to come in each
night with the days catch. The
whales are anchored at buoy in front
of long. inclined platform, upon
which they are drawn, tail first, by
means of steam winch.
The saying that every part of the
pig but the squeal is now of market
value is also q fact with the whale.
Not a particle of the animal is vast
ed. After the skeleton is stripped of
flesh it is disarticulated aid the bones
chopped in pieces.
The blubber is tried out for oil and
the meat and bones are boiled for the
same purpose. Later the flesh is arti-
IDEALLY dried and sifted. making fine
guano, and the bones are ground up
for fertilizer. Even the blood is boiled
and dried with the flesh, and the wa
ter in which the blubber has been
tried out makes excellent glue. The
fins and tail, after being sliced into
thin strips, are sailed and barreled
and shipped to Japan as an article OF

REAL PROHIBITION HAS
NOT YET BEEN TRIED.
Wasscn and Mayor Rose Make
Big Mistake on Views Of
Liquor Foes.

The Prohibitionist secs in
current dry" legislation the
"fcrerunncr," not the realization,
CT their ultimate victory.
The nistake made by friends
of the saloon is in their idea of
what Prchibitionists really stand
for. This is very clearly stated
by Mr.. Patton:
What The Prohibitioaist means
by Prohibition is this: He in
sistS upon universal Prohibition
by national, state and local gov
crnments, in their respective ca
pacitics, OF the manufacture,
sale, Importation and trans
Portation of intoxicants for bev-
erage purposes, and he insists
that not only the lawmaking
power of those governments re-
spectivcly shall be devoted 60
this task, but the executive and
Judicial as we'll.
need not say to any we'll in
formed man that the greater
part of the work of securing
such Prohibition remains yet to
be done. That we have not now
and never have had such Fro
hi5ition mast be conceded.
And yet in the face Of this fact
MIR. Wesson and Mayer Rose
and ell the host OF liquor cham
Pions are to-day assuming the
very reverse and boldly declare
we have tried Prohibition for
Fifty years AID that seventeen
states have tried il and aban-
doned it ao 4 failure.
What right have they 10 dis
cusa this question end leave out
our fundamental propositions
thar fer Prohibition to reach it's
full fruition we MIST have il be-
come universal and must have
it in the hands of organized
friends tc execute il?
Prohibition has been tried un-
der most adverse circumstances
everywhere. It has not yet had
half a chance. Until recently
every state in which it has been
tried has been surrounded by H.
cense states, and the laws of the
national government have per-
nitted the flooding of those
states with outside packages of
Liquor. The brewers and distiII-
ers and wholesalers have pur-
Posely done their best to break
down such laws by such impor-
tations. In all our local option
or local Prohibition territory the
brewery and distilIery have re-
NAMED with full power to use
our railways and rivers to over
come the laws. And, worse than
ALL the national government has
remained financially interested
on the liquor side by continuing
the issuance of special tax GER
tificates in Prohibition territory.
