parrow and Liberty.

Last Sunday Clarence barrow, the
noted socialist attorney, of Chicago,
spoke in Lincoln in favor of the IL
quor traffic. If Mr.. barrow went to
Lincoln on his own motion, out of
sympathy with the men who want to
have saloons in that city, he had a
right to go, but he made a mistake. If
he was hired or persuaded to go
there by the saloon influence it was
a mistake. There is no argument in
favor of open saloons. The liberty of
men and women to drink and get
drunk does not depend on licensing
men to keep public drinking places
open. Any man may eat and drink
what he likes without licensing pes
tilential groggeries. When the city
of Lincoln declared it would wipe out
these places it did not say what any
man should eat or drink. 1t merely
declared them a public nuisance do
ing no good and doing great harm.
Any nan or woman has the same
right to drink in Lincoln as before.
We mention this question of per
sonal liberty as it is the only and
ever recurring argument of the adyo-
Gates of saloons, and we declare it
is NJ argument at all, and that the
licensing of saloons has nothing to
do with the liberty of the individual
to drink. The public is not obliged
to provide nor endure places devoted
TO drink in order to insure personal
liberty. And there is no other argu-
ment offered in favor of the saloon.
Is that not so? Then what is to be
gained by the vets in public argu.
ment? Drinking is simply a selfish
foolish, personal indulgence. There
is no sense nor reason in it and can
be no argument in favor of it. The
best the drinking man can say is, 81
will have the fun if | want to, re
gardless of consequences. | know il
costs me more than it ome to. that
it Injuries my health, shortens my life
makes me temporarily a Ounce or q
brute, but it is fun, and | am going tc
have my fun" Can any man get III
before an intelligent audience ant
make an argument in support oil
that position? Is there an argument
in favor of any harmful indulgence
Such a talk as Clarence Darrow gave
in Lincoln makes decent men, WIKI
want to indulge and take the conse
quences, ashamed to be seen in the
crowd. A still hunt is best for the
"wets" and the stiller the better fol

COUNTY OPTION.


County Option means a chance to
vote. 1t is majority rule. 1t is a
choice between two systems of con-
troll, i. e. license and regulation, or
regulation without license.
County OPTION puts the saloon ques-
ton into the hands of the people
who pay the taxes. 1t seems fair
to u.s..
County Option is a political question
because 1t has to do with govern.
ment; 1t Is a moral question because
the brewers are trying to throttle the
sentiment that is behind it.
County Option is a red hot political
question in Nebraska because the
brewers are asking the political par.
ties to get between them and the peo-
pie. We want political parties to quit
protecting the brewers.
Shall brewers control our state or
shall the people rule? County option
will let the people rule. To defeat it
that the men who defeat it are
friends of the brewers as opposed to
the people. w i'll the people vote for
men who do not believe in the PEG.

Booze VS., Brains.

That poor fool" remarked a bust.
s man the other day, lis trying to
make whiskey take the place of
brains" The business man was
about right. The fellow had some
rather important business to trans.
act. He needed to have a quick
mind a smooth tongue, so he dumped
a half dozen big drinks of booze into
his system. He really thought he
needed the stimulent. He was
primed just right to make a real cley-
er bargain Did he? Not on your
life. The other fellow, whose boiler
crates We're not burning out with
whiskey, skinned him. II takes a
long time for some men TO tumble to
the fact that booze cannot take the
place of brains. But the realization
comes eventually. It comes when
the golden opportunities of years past
are seen nesting in the laps of those
The Falls City tribune., 1910-07-15

who needed while there was yet time.
It comes when You Try to balance
your account in the commercial mart
and find that booze has been placed
against the liabilities instead OF the
assets. But it is only another one
of those old stories, the repeating of
which only causes hooking laughter
to chase its echoes down the corridors
of time.-The Kenesaw Citizen.

WHEAT GOES LOWER
 ON WEATHER NEWS
Fear of Drouth Disappears and
 Prices Drop
CLOSE IS VERY WEAK
Corn Does Not Change Much in Either Direction Owing To Conflicting Vfews-Oats Close Irregular
 and Provisions Higher

Chicago, December 21.-With rain or snow predicted officially for the entire winter wheat country east of the Rock ies, fear of drought disappeared today, and the market weakened. The close was easy at net decline of 14@ase to 7Q 1c. The end of trading left corn 1ac low CT to shade higher; oats 1-16c down to 1s@Ao up, and provisions at 271sQ471kc advance.
 Wheat closed at almost the bottom price of the session, the market was fully as depressed as it had been buoyant the preceding day. A downfall of moisture that reached eastward into central Kan sas made even the hardest bulls lose en- thusiasm. According to the government forecast, the damp area was to be wide- ly extended within 36 hours, so that no part of the fall sown crop would be without some benefit. Large quantities of wheat bought here yesterday by the southwest were sold out today because of a belief there would be a total break up of the drought. Furthermore, no de- mand existed for cash wheat today, pri- mary receipts were liberal and another flour mill at Duluth shut down, leaving
  Foreign news, too, was bearish, cables reporting that Australian offerings were cheaper, Russian larger and Argentine better than heretofore.
 There was throughout complete ab- sence of bullish advices. In consequence no important rally took place from start to finish. May, after ranging between 95 F d96c, closed 5sc off at 951sg95tsc. In corn the forecast of unsettled weather was taken to mean lessened sales by the country, but this condition had an offset in the fact that cash demand amounted to practically nothing May fuctuated from 47ssc to .479sc and closed at the first named price, shade under last night. No. 2 yellow finished at 46lsg47c. There was little selling pressure in oats. However, cash call was not much in evi- dence. May varied between 337sc and S4c and 341s@3414c, with last sales at BIC, the same as last night.

VERY FEW CHANGES
 IN COTTON PRICES Market Is QuietWit h the Close
 Barely Steady SUPPORT IS LACKING Spot Houses Are Fair Buyers Part of the Day But After an Early
 Squirt the Market
 Eases Off
SUPPORT IS LACKING

New York, December 21.@The cot ton market continued quiet today, fluc- tuating within range of or points. The close was barely steady but last prices showed a net gain of 9 to 1 points for the day.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points, and active po- stions sold points net higher right after opening on better cables than expected, liberal spot sales, favorable reports on Man ester conditions and covering by some of yesterdays late sellers. Spot people appeared to be buying January but there was no ag- gressive support and during the mid dle of the morning prices turned slight ly easier under scattering liquidation.
 After selling off to within 9 or 5 points of last nights finals, the market steadied on the appearance of It. tie bull support and when some of the early sellers turned for cover prices worked ub to a net advance of to 8 points, but there was no broaden ir of demand, and the market later slipped back again with the close at practically the lowest prices of the day.
 No fresh interpretation of yester- days census report developed over night apparently and the days news seemed to lack any feature of suf- ficient importance to inspire fresh out side buying in the face of the ap- preaching holidays Such southern ad- vances as reach ed the trade appeared to be generally bulIish with wires from Houston reporting that practically all ocean freight room available at Gal weston for shipment to the continent had been chartered up to February ]. Memphis reported firm interior holders of spot cotton at the highest prices of the season and southern spot markets as officially reported early were gen erally unchanged. Exports continue lib eral and for the season up to now run about 462,000 bales In excess of last year for the same period.
 Receipts at the ports today 52745 bales against 61,292 last week and 80, h30 last year. For the week. S40,0OO against 42S,S65 last week and 224,74O last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans 1S,9S6 against 9796 last year, and at Houston 917S bales against 3S64 last year.

THANKS PAPER
 FOR ATTITUDE

Mobile, December n-(Specia1. )-Before leaving last night for Opelika, the seat of hls new charge, the Rev. II. H. Mo- Neill, for the past four years pastor of the St. Francis Street Methodist church here, issued statement in which he thanked the citizens of Mobile for the courtesy shown him by them during his residence among them. Ills statement created some surprise, as MT. McNeill has been a persistent advocate of prohibition and frequently got into print because of the extreme measures he championed- measures which the majority of the cIt- izens regarded with disfavor.
 In his statement MT. McNeill praised local newspapers for having allowed him to use its columns to express himself on public questions, views diametrically op- posed to those held by the paper.

uubh.rd Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. December 21.-(Special.) Liverpool advices were distinctly more ayorable than anticipated, bringing some arbitrage buying here to absorb the usual closing of accounts before Christmas. In a very dull market this liouidation finally closed the market barely steady at some three points ad- vance, with the trade looking for a decline abroad tomorrow.
 A large amount of cotton Is accum- ulating here with the natural result of widening the prices between Jan uary and March to carrying basis. During the past few days more con signments have been made than ex- pected after the heavy receipts of the nast few weeks. 1t Is rumored that some Wall street banking houses in- tend to receive @ large amount of the January or late December tenders for the purpose of earning the interest charged. The feeling in England IS very bullish in face of the large move ment at the interior towns showing the disposition of the south to accept present prices before Christmas.
