WHAT CHICAGO SPENDS FOR
DRINK.

The people of Chicago spend $64,-
100000 for drink each year, at the
lowest possible estimate.
This money, in silver dollars piled
one on top of the other, would make
a stack 101 miles high, 1858 times
as high as the tallest skyscraper in
the city.
1t would take a train of seventy
five freight cars, or a procession of
trucks 5.26 miles long to carry the
silver.
1t would pay for a wall of bread
ten feet thick and twenty-five feet
high on three sides of the city, with
enough bread left to build a line of
forts on the lake side.
1t would build a mountain of flour,
with city block as it's base, 1900
feet high.
1t would build 1920 cottages.
1t would feed all the people of the
city for ninety7seven days on army
rations.
1t is a fifth more than all the
yearly taxes paid in the city.-Ken.

SAYS HE ROBBED THE PEOPLE

The spectacle of a millionaire tell
ing his hearers that he made his
millions by robbing the people, that
all monopolists do, but that he had
begun to recover his conscience and
was going to devote his wealth to
fighting the system which made it
possible, was the unique entertain
ment provided by the City Club of
Chicago recently. The speaker was
Joseph Fels of Philadelphia, head of
a naphtha soap company bearing his
name. He said he was a disciple
of Henry George and would always
remain a "single taxer."
1--WE can't get rich in a lifetime
nowadays" Mr.. Fels said, under the
present system of things, unless we
do so by robbing the people. / have
made my money that way. and my
firm is still doing it. You are all
doing it. Every one of your self
made millionaires has done it. How
ever, / want to say have begun to
recover my conscience, and / am
going to devote my 'swag'-I like to
call 1t that, for that's what it is

TWENTY-oNE YEARS OF AGE.

Here are some thoughtful remarks,
gelaned from an exchange, that are
of particular interest to the young
fellow just attaining his majority:
so you are 81? You are a man!
Did you ever think. son, how much
it has cost to make a man of you?
Some one has figured up the cost
In money of rearing a child. He
says to bring a man to legal age,
care for him and educate him costs
$25 900. Which is lot of money to
put in flesh and blood But that
isn't all. You have cost your father
many hard knocks and short dinners
and worry and gray streaks In his
hair. And your mother-ah, boy!
you will never know. You have cost
her days and nights of anxiety and
wrinkles in her dear face and heart
aches and sacrifice.
''It has been expensive to grow
you, but IL you are worth what you
think you are, you are worth all you
cost and much, much more.
BE sure of this. While father
does not say much but Hello, son.
way down deep in his tough, staunch
heart he thinks you are the finest
ever. And as for the little mother,
she simply cannot keep her love and
pride for you out of her eyes.
Sometime you must step into
your fathers shoes. He wouldn't like
you to call him old. but just the
same he isn't as young as he used
to be. You see young man, he has
been working hard for more than
twenty years to help you! And al
ready your mother is beginning to
lean on you.
"Your father has done fairly we'll,
but you can do better. You may not
think so, but he does. He has given
you a better chance than he had.
In many ways you can begin where
he left off. He expects good deal
from you, and that is why he has
tried to make a man of you.
1.-The world will try you out. 1t
you. But if you are made of good
stuff once the load is fairly strapped
on your young shoulders, you will
carry it and scarcely feel tiff only
there be the willing and cheerful
mind"

point in the suit against the Gilmore

CONTRACT SYSTEM
OF VOTE BUYING

West Onion, O., Dec. 24-That a
contract system Of vote buying ex-
listed in Adams county in addition to
other methods by which voters were
bought or sold was disclosed today
In the grand jury probe that is max
ing into the selling Of votes that has
been practiced here for the past SC
years.
The total number Of those that have
been indicted and are to be disfran-
chised reached 65S today.
The contractors would go to the par
ty leaders and say: I'VE have seven
men. what will you give us?" said
Judge A. z. Blair, who started the in
vestigation.
Seven men would bring about SIC
In the open market.
II would say that about one-half OF
the voters Of Adams county were
either bought or Sold"
The grand jury that il hearing the
testimony Is a special Jury.
AZ could not trust a regularly drawn
grand jury to fight this situation y
said Judge Blair. Law violation OF
various kinds has flourished in the
county and it's all traceable to the
general corruption. Every voter OF
however low degree felt that he had
enough influence with politicians to
whom he had sold his vote to thwart
indictments or convictions.
1.-THE evil has even penetrated our
churches. for leading churchmen were
either buyers or sellers Of votes"
