It,,
Years ago put away this declara-
ton, made by Count rolstoi, as one of
the best arguments against the vend-
ing Of intoxicants that 1 had ever seen.
II the liquor could speak and tell of
the rabid part that intoxicants play
ed in the war between the states
we might discover the cause of mucn
needless cruelty and much mismanage-
ment OF troops.
1 never shall forget what I saw and
heard in the city of Macon, Ca on the
Federal forces under COMMAND of Gen.
eral Wilson. saw Gen. Howell
Cobb. then commanding the state
troops, sitting In a chair before John
w. Burke's book store dressed in citi-

inside the store that a flag of truce
had gone forward to meet Wilson but
the principal work then being per-
formed was destroying whisky barrels,
and that liquor was running in the gut
tiers before these houses where the
whisky had been stored previously
In this crucial period the dread lay
in what drunken army might do in
Macon to the defenseiy inhabitants.
and although there were no prohibition
laws in Georgia and whisky was as
common in both armies as milk or mo-
lasses, common prudence dictated this
wholesale raid on the whisky depots in
the city of Macon.
Count Tolstoi was eminently correct
as TO what alcohol will do towards
deadening a human beings conscience.
If we could trace the violence and MUIR
der beginnings that we read about every
day in the year we would find that the
start lay in the use of liquor to bolster
up the intent towards violence. This
fell destroyer pervades both continents

Diminishing primary receipts formed
an important angle in favor of an

There was evidence, too, of an In
creasing demand for flour as shown
by the diminished stocks at leading
centers. Moreover farm reserves in
the United States were said to have
fallen 100000 bushels under last
year
On the other hand world shipments
promised to DO heavier and the fact
apparently was made clear late in

be reassembled if the reciprocity

! This Is what Miss Ida Tarbell, the
biographer Of Standard Oh and author
Of life Of Lincoln" has to say about
woman's civic duty:
THE most valuable citizen In the
world Is the woman who stays at
home and properly brings up family
of children.
"A woman's first and most impor-
tant duty to the state Is the same as
it always has been since the begin
ming of things the rearing of good
citizens
, "There Is no achievement. literary.
artistic. what you will, which woman
can perform that is Of the same vital
Ing of family Of mentally. morally
physically healthy boys and girls
There Is no profession containing such
real honor for a woman as that Of
homemaking. Aud it is the great na-
tional job for the majority Of us. Let
us see that we stick to it. We can't
do anything better"
Miss Tarbell's interviewer here In
tcrposed that 1t was not possible for
all women to marry, and she was
asked what civic duties were best per
formed by the single ones.
i Miss Tarbel said: "They still serve
the state in many ways The highest
service that they can perform is to be
come teachers. Women do excellent
work on boards of hospitals. reforma
tories. prisons. asylums and schools.
Indeed. there should be a proportion
Of women on all such boards, though
there should be men also,
"As factory and milk and tenement
house inspectors women do splendid
service. There should be many more
women probation officers. All state
institutions taking care Of women and
children should be largely admins
tered by women"

UPWARD TENDENCY
Was Evident in Yesterdays Stocl
Market, Although Tone Was
Rather Irregular.

New York, March 3.--The stock
market was irregular ;oday with all
upward tendency in spite of the 1if-
liculties which beset operators, but
few material net gains were recorded
at the close, Apprehensions OF an
extra session Of congress with its
possibility of tariff changes over
Swallowed all other Influences and
made the market nervous
United States Rubber and General
Electric were conspicuously weak.
The weakness of General Electric
was attributed to the filing O.. a lei-

against a number Of companies al
leged to be in the control OF General

good showing.

The general trend during the week
has been toward improvement. The
railway rate finding and the pres.
poets of an extra session of congress
has not prevented further progress to.
wfrd the establishment of business
confidence end activity. Unchecke d
progress appears in the steel and iron
trade, with no cancellation of railroa !

The leading producer is steadily
expanding its blast furnace opera
tons, now having fully G5 per cent OF
capacity active. and the desired re-
duction in pig iron stocks is being ac-
complished, although on a moderate
scale.
A broader buying movement has
developed in Bessemer iron at PITTS
burg and part of the 10000 tons re-
ported are sold for delivery in the
third quarter, for when as high as
s15.25 was paid.
The outlook in the rail division is
promising, with contract for 150,0 900
tons expected in the near future, ana
foreign interests are also negotiating
for a considerable tonnage Activity
in wire products is sustained and ID
is believed that an advance of 81 a

higher prices are also looked Tor ar

Operations in the primary cotton
goods market and IN the jobbing
