LET WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE?
The voter who is inclined toward
Statewide Prohibition should
think carefully before he finally
makes up his mind to support that
measure. Let us stop for a mo-
ment and count the cost-and in
doing this, what better method
can we pursue than to take the
experience OF other states? Only
a few weeks ago the people of
Maine, the state which has had
State wide Prohibition longer than
any other state in the Union, voted
the Democratic party back into
power the second time since the
Civil War, chiefly because it's
platform was pledged to a re-sub-
mission of this question: That the
people Of that state will decla re
for local option by an overwhelm-
ing majority as soon as the matter
comes to a vote, is a foregone con-
clusion. In Kansas, Statewide
Prohibition has been an unending
nightmare for years and every
governor has grappled with the
problem. AT different times Kan
sas has had scores of open saloons
which insolently Haunted the law
and while now and then O crusade
against them drives them into
temporary seclusion, everybody
knows that the blind tiger and the
boot logger ply their illegal traffic
necessarily in spite Of all the ef-
forts that have been made to sup
press them. Every unprejudiced
Kansan will admit that Prohibi-
ton has been a sadfailure in that
state-for what does Prohibition
amount to ifthe sale of liquor runs
riot in spite Of It?

Has 1t ever occurred to young com
posers that the shortest road to fame
and fortune lies in writing good we'd
ding music? In no other department
of the art does the supply fall SO la
mentally short of the demand. There
are hundreds of thousands of weddings
in America and Europe every year,
and at nearly all of them appropriate
music is wanted, yet there are. barely
half dozen that have been universal
ly accepted as suitable. In nine cases
out Of ten the Mendelssohn wedding
march is played or the bridal chorus
from "Lohengrln," or both Here are
two great models of what is wanted; /;
music which is simple, tuneful, senti-
mental, stirring, exultant The ex-
ultant strain Is missing In the Lob

more conspicuous in the introduction
to the third act, which expresses the
wedding festivities within, and which
should be played more frequently at

Statewide Prohibition.

The new State of Oklahoma
adopted State wide Prohibition
when it came into the Union about
four years ago. On November Sth,
the people Of that state will vote
upon -submission-after trial
of only four short years. WhyP
Simply because they have found
out the old story that a law can
not be enforced in a community
where local sentiments against it.
From the Arkansas line to the
prairies Of the Panhandle the new
state is infested with dives, blind
tigers and boot leggers. In many
towns open bars flagrantly abuse
a meaningless and powerless law
and that the people will revert to
the local option systematic only
sane and practical method Of deal.
ing with the liquor problem is
we'll nigh certainty. Down in
Tennessee where Statewide Pro-
hibition was enacted only short
time since, the same state of af-
fairs exists. In Memphis, the
chief city of the state, dozens OF
dives and saloons run openly with
no pretense of secrecy. The Mayor
and Chief Of Police say they are
powerless to enforce law which
is not backed by local sentiment.
Grand jury after grand jury has
been convened, composed of lead
ling citizens, and yet no indict-
ments are returned. When the
matter was passed up to Cover
nor Patterson he replied that
whenever the people Of Memphis
will back him up he will SEE what
can be done-and there the matter
rests. In the meantime the dive

\ WHY THE TARIFF WAS RE-
4 VlSED UPWARD.

Senator Bristow. Republican,
in a speech at Winfield, Kan,
July 8, 1910, made the following
charges, every one of which is
! a matter of record and can be .
easily verified:
! when the new tariff passed :
the lower House of Congress,
! the duty on manufactured rub :
/ Der was left the same as it had
been in the Dingley bill, 80 per (
!. cent; in the Senate, the rate
I was raised to 35 per cent; the
!. change was made by Senator
I Aldrich In the room Of the fl
Z nance committee. This tariff
( became a law on August 5. With
I in month, in September of last
{ year, the news came out that a
Z rubber company was being or
I ganized. Within three months
I the organization was complete;
i. it's capital is $40,000,000, its
+ managing head is the son of
I Senator Aldrich, Senator AL
I drich himself is a director and
{ holds $4,000 shares; among the
!: other large stockholders are ST.
{. mon Guggenheim, senator from
+ Colorado, with 10000 shares,
{. and four of Senator Guggen-
1. heim's brothers, with an aggre-
+ gate of $4,000 shares. Within
1: three months after its organlza-
!. ton, the new rubber company
Z had paid dividends appregating
+ 1872 per cent
Z The people are thus given an
\ insight into the work of tariff
Z tinkering that explains why it
I. was revised upward, instead of
{ downward. And remember, Mr..
/ Missouri voter, that Senator
( Warner and every Republican
+ congressman from Missouri vot-
I. ed for this increased rubber tar
+ iff which enabled the Aldrichs
1. and Guggenheims to organize a
4. rubber trust to plunder the peo-
( pie. If you can not indorse such
+ infamous legislation, vote the
I Democratic ticket and help turn
I the rascals out.

some day the chickens come home
to roost.
"Do unto others as you would be
done by" This is the plea, old
as the Sermon ON the Mount, which
the wet counties and the large
cities of Missouri are making to
the dry counties in this campaign.
It's a mighty sacred doctrine,
brother.
Party platforms may not be
sacred but every good party man
abides by them for they represent
the will of the majority-and from
the day when Thomas Jefferson
penned the immortal Declaration
of Independence up to the present
hour, majorities as they have ex.
pressed themselves in party plat
forms and legislative halls have
formed our governmental pol
icies. Both the Democratic and
Republican state platforms are
pledged to local option as against
State wide Prohibition.
u
When the prohibition amend
ment was pending before the State
Legislature 1t was carefully esti-
mated by those familiar with the
fiscal affairs of Missouri that the
loss of revenue incident to the ab-
olition of the liquor traffic in this
State would necessitate an increase
in the State tax levy of about
forty-five per cent, and hence the
well-known "tax-rider" was at.
tached to the amendment. The
prohibition amendment, as is wei
known, was rejected by the State
Legislature. But the calculations
then made by State officials anc
tax experts still hold good to-day
The Tenth Constitutional Amend.
ment makes no provision whatever
to meet the deficit which is certain
to occur in the event of its adop'
ton, but the expenses Of main
tanning the State government mus
be met, and an increase in thu
State tax levy will follow as GER
tainly as if it we're provided in tn
amendment. The State record
are public records, and are open t.
inspection. The Missouri tax
payer who, before voting for Pro
hibition, fails to inform himself a
to the cost of it will have none bu
| himself to blame,

Statewide Prohibition abrogates
the principle of local self-govern-
ment. 1t nullifes the right of each
county to speak for itself on the
liquor question. Are you willing
that your county shall be deprived
of that right?

1t takes about six million dollars
a year to run the Missouri State
government and support the State
institutions. That money must
come from somewhere. The mill
lions which come from the liquor
industry must be replaced. The
money must be put in the treasury
by somebody. 1t must come out
Of somebody's pocket. The tax
payers Of Missouri must pay the
bill, and the dry voter will have
to pay his part. This is simply a
plain statement of self evident
fact.

The adoption of the Tenth Con-
stitutional Amendment can have
but one effect in the dry territory
of Missouri. That territory cannot
be made more dry than it is. The
liquor traffic cannot be more rigid
ly excluded from local option
counties than it now is. The only
possible effect of prohibition in
the dry county will be the increase
in the State tax levy, which will
be felt by every taxpayer in Mis-
souri,, whether he resides in a
local option county or not.

Forest Fire Losses.

A rough estimate of the IRE loss upon
the national forests in Montana and
northern Idaho, upon which the forest
officers of the United States department
of agriculture have been engaged since
the fires were put out, puts the total
amount of timber killed or DESTROYED in
this one district at over billion board
feet, while the area burned over is put
at over one and one-quarter million
acres.
The heaviest losses were in two Idaho
Forests, the Occur d'Alene, where over
3 billion board feet of timber are re-
ported killed or destroyed and over
100000 acres burned over, and the
Clearwater, where one billion feet of
timber were killed or destroyed and
100000 acres burned over On the Hell
ena National forest, in Montana, the
loss in timber is believed to have been
100000, 900 feet, on the Cabinet forest
100000, 900 feet, and on the Lolo forest
300,000,000.
A large part of the losses on the
Occur 'Alene, Clearwater and Lolo
were due to what became practically
one great fire. The burn is shown on
the forest service maps as extending in
a northwesterly and southeasterly d.
rection from north of Wallace, Idaho,
to point some 80 miles southwest Of
Missoula, Mont, or nearly 100 miles. At
its widest point this burn has width
of about 40 miles, but its shape is very
irregular.
Forester Graves believes that, as
usually happens in the case of big fires,
there will be found to be considerable
areas of living timber within the re
gions now mapped as entirely burned
over.
How much of the billion feet
which was either killed or burned up
in Montana and northern Idaho can
eventually be salvaged it is of course
impossible to predict. If it were all a
total loss, and if its stumpage value
were put at the average price at which
national forest timber was sold last
year, it would be the equivalent of a
money loss of about $4,000, 900.

About Appendicitis.

So long as Inflammation Of the ap-
pendix remains restricted to that organ
but little harm Is done to the patient
Indeed, It is doubtful If any of the
symptoms of appendicitis, properly So
called. are really due to the infamma-
ton of the vermiform appendix Itself; it
Is much more probable that they only
come on when the Inflammation has ex-
tended to the surrounding peritoneum.
This involvement Of the peritoneum Is
the important factor, whether from the
point of view Of diagnosis or Of progno-
sis. The appendix is only important in
so far as It is the original cause of
the peritonitis, and therefore its re-
moval may be the best way Of treating
the peritonitis. 1t will be well. there
fore, to consider the functions of the
peritoneum when discussing the treat
ment of appendicitis. They are three
fold: The power of absorption, the
power of killing organisms and the
power of adhesion of one surface OF
peritoneum against another when IN
any way either surface is irritated.--

Portuguese Degeneracy.

Education has generally been at a low
ebb in Portugal. Reliable statistics in
dictate that less than one-ffth of the
population can read and write. The
country, which has an area somewhat
less than that of the state of Indiana,
and a population approximately equal
to that of Illinois, has always been
engaged in agriculture. The people,
who once were the world IS greatest nav
igators, have lost, during the past two
centuries, the energy which formerly
characterized them. Their agricultural
and commercial methods are very anti
quated. This state Of affairs, together
with the political corruption and lack
of education already alluded to, has re-
suited in appalling governmental mis-
management and chronic deficit. Not
even the riches of Portugal's colonial
possessions, which cover more than
three-quarters of million square miles
and have a population of more than
nine millions, could Offset the corrup-
ton at home.-From "The Progress of
the World in the American Review of
Reviews for November.
