MODERATE DRINKING MORE
HARMFUL THAN OCCASIONAL
INTOXICATION.


well-known novelist, writing OF
his experiences as a moderate drink
er, says In the February McClure's:
No cause is helped by lying
about it, Nine out of 10 moderate
drinkers do not fill drunkards'
graves. They remain moderate
drinkers, or stop entirely. l may as
well say, once for all, that ! have
never been completely under the in
fiuence of alcohol in my life. Such
Is not the moral of these confessions.
But | have moral, or else /
would not make them, which may
also be valuable. AT any rate, 1t is
more applicable to the vast majority
who, like me, have been daily mod
crate drinkers for years and COM
placently consider themselves sensi-
BILE in this matter.
Il do not hesitate to affirm that
what l had been doing all these
years was physically speaking only
worse than If l had got thoroughly
drunk once in while, like some of
my friends, and the rest of the time
remained, like them, ON the water

" AAoi al VI 5OCldl 6HSCIS OF
occasional drunkenness, or of what
1T may lead to in the way of habitual
drunkenness, other vices, and some
times crimes. Physically speaking,
occasional drunkenness, or of what
tain scientists declare, have a certain
benefit at times; but daily drinking
is most invariably harmful. The
average liver and nervous system
can assimilate only a certain rather
small amount Of alcohol each "a
hours. For some years I had been
giving mine just a little bit more
than was good for them, practically
every day, with none of the complete
relaxation, the new lease of life,
sometimes-though not often, l
fancy-produced by intoxication up
on the overcrowded mentalities."

Winchester. Va, August 27.-The
fifth annual session Of the winchester
Summer Normal School for white
teachers of the northern section of the
State, which was held in the John
Kerr Memorial Public School building,
was marked by increased attendance
over previous sessions, and the per-
sonnet OF the faculty was equal to
any since the teachers institute was
established five years ago.
The enrolment Of teachers began on
the last day of June, and the attend
ance steadily increased until there
We're nearly 200 young men and wo-

Professional work was offered, and
many of the teachers took advantage
of it. The management was very sue
cessful in the difficult task of arrang-
Ing daily program that all tho teach
ers could get the work they wanted
without serious conflicts.
The buildings In which the institute
was held are large, and contain every
modern facility. including large
public lectures were held and various
entertainments given. The social side
of the normal was particularly attrac-
tive, and after study hours many OF
the young men and women and mem
bers of the faculty went on outings
and trips over the Civil War battle-
fields and to points associated with
the Revolutionary War period.

NOT ALL HARMONY.

Everywhere in Idaho the dem
ocrats are getting together and
singing songs of peace and har-
mony. The republican factions,
on the other hand, are busy be-
laboring one another, and if
there is a crime on the calendar
they haven't accused one another
of committing and what is worse
proved the allegation in many
instances, we would like to have
it mentioned. If this is to con-
tinue unchecked, with the pres
ent unrest and suspicion now
prevailing the country in regard
to the integrity of the republican
leaders, then the party might
just as we'll save itself the ex-
penses of an election and retire
gracefully to private life. -Oro-

and Lewiston should not be al
lowed to keep open house while
the smaller places are forced to
live up to the law. If the local
option law cannot be fully en-
forced, as we have always be-
lieved, let it be repealed and &c
back to the license system, with
saloons only in Incorporated
places and under strict regula-
ton. To our mind the latter is
the only solution of the liquor
question, as the liquor traffic can
no more be stamped out, without
worldwide prohibition of manu-
facture, than can any other of
the sins that have existed since
the advent of mankind.

FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1910.
WE TOLD YOU so.

The local option law, properly
enforced, is all right, otherwise
it is all wrong. The Mountaineer
did everything it could towards
placing Idaho county in the dry
column, but recent visit to
GranGeville disclosed the fact
that that town is still very wet.
Liquor is sold there by the glass
and by the bottle, and drunken
men can be seen on the streets
by day and by night. If local
option means no license and lots
of booze, this paper is opposed
to local option. According to all
accounts it is going to be a hard
matter to single out and punish
the booze vendors. Unlike the
reservation section, the law per-
mits the shipment of beer and
whiskey to prairie towns in any
quantity. It may be possible to
make an example of one or two
before long and that may have
the effect of putting a check
on the liquor business in Grange
vile, but it is doubtful. There
is one thing certain if person
can not be arrested and prose-
cuted for selling liquor in a
dry" town-and Dragging a.
bout 1.-THE local option law is a
farce pure and simple, and this
paper for one will have nothing
further to say in favor of such a
law. We have been honest and
sincere in our advocacy of local
option, but if it can not be en-
forced, and the sale of intoxi-
cants stopped, we shall work as
honestly and sincerely for its
overthrow in the future. The
editor of this paper never says
one thing and thinks another,
and in dealing with the liquor
question he is going to express
himself straight up. This mat
ter has resolved itself into a
"show me" proposition. -Koos-
kia Mountaineer.

If liquor is being sold almost
openly in Grangeville, as is
claimed by the Mountaineer edi-
tor, land as we have heard stat
ed by others) there is a fine
chance for the county officials
and the law enforcement league
to get busy and draw down a lot
of glory unto themselves. If
Idaho and Nez Perez counties
are to be dry" they should be

But at two o'clock, on the next day
but one, Logotheti received a note
brought by hand, in which Mr.. Van
Torp said that to his great regret he
had been called away suddenly and
hoped that Logotheti would forgive
him, as the matter was Of such urgent
importance that he would have al.
ready left London when the note was
received.
This was more than true, if pos.

two days earlier, very soon after he
had parted from Logotheti in Pail
Mall, although the note had not been

Exactly" assented Logotheti. "And,
oddly enough, the first Of those stories
is about Samarkand, which is not so
far from Baraka's native village. 1t
seems to have taken the girl about a
year to find her way to Constantine
pie, and when she got there she natur-
ally supposed that it was the capital
of the world, and that her man, being
very great and very rich, thanks to
her, must of course live there. So she
searched Stamboul and Pera for him,
during seven or eight months. She
lived in the house of a good old Per
sian merchant, under the protection Of
his wife, and learned that there was
a world called Europe where her man
might be living, and cities called Paris
and London, where people pay fabu-
lous prices for precious stones. Per
sian merchants are generally well-edu.
Gated men, you know. At last she
made up her mind to dress like man,

dation to me from a Greek banker,

we're coming to Marseilles by sea, and
here she is. Now you know as much
as do. She is perfectly fearless, and
as much more sure of herself than
any man ever was, as some young
women can be in this queer world. Of
! course, she'll never find the brute who
thought he was leaving her to be muir
dered by her relations, but If she ever
did, she would either marry him or cut
| his throat"
Mice, amiable kind of girl" re-
marked Mr.. Van Torp, who remem-
bered her behaviour when he had re.
fused her proffered gift. That's very
interesting, Mr.. Logotheti. How long
do you count on being in London this
time? Three or four days, maybe?"
"I dare say. No longer, fancy"
''Why don't you come and take din
ner with me some night?" asked the
American, DAY after tomorrow,
perhaps. I'd be pleased to have you." J."
Thank you very much" Logotheti
answered. "Since you ask me, see
no reason why should not dine with
you, if you want me-"
They agreed upon the place and
hour, and each suddenly remembered
an engagement

But Barak now understood what he
was going to do. and ran before him,
and stood before the door in an atti-
itude which expressed entreaty so
clearly that Mr.. Van Torp was puz-
zled.
'Well," he said, standing still and
looking into the beautiful imploring
eyes, what on earth do you want

A very singular conversation by
signs now began.
Barak pointed to the waistcoat pock.
ct into which he had put the stone.
The matter concerned that, of course,
and Van Torp nodded. Next, though
after considerable difficulty, she made
him understand that she was asking
how he had got it, and when this was
clear, he answered by pretending to
count out coins with his right hand
on the palm Of his left to explain that
he had bought It. There was no mis-
taking this, and Barak nodded quickly
and went on to her next question.

Van Torp raised his hand several
