W. c. T. U. NOTES.

The hero of The Merrimac recent
ly said in part: Il was found that
in the smallest quantity. alcohol is
poison. 1t has no food value. If
you take one glass Of beer, your
efficiency will have been lowered
eight per cent. If you take three
glasses Of beer, or its equivalent a
day, at the end Of twelve days, your
general efficiency will have been
lowered from twenty-five to forty
per cent, varying according to the
kind Of work you are doing. That
will give you a true measure of the
effect of this poison upon the ma
tions productiyeness.
There are fifty per cent Of all
of our people who drink on occasion.
They must certainly lose, conserva-
lively estimated, at least ten per
cent of their efficiency. That means
a lowering of five per cent in the
productiveness of our nation. Then
for the five per cent who are heavy
drinkers or drunkards. we must as
sumo they lose eighty per cent.
which means loss of four per cent
in the nations productiyeness. The
sum total makes at least twenty-one
and one-half per cent loss. That
means that last year the nation was
short in its productiveness, through
the use of alcohol, over $7,000,000,-
900. Add to this the amount of the
drink bill last year. and the money
expended for institutions for the in
sane. the poor, ETC., the support of
courts made necessary by liquor.
What do you suppose the total
revenue collected last year from the
liquor traffic was? Less than $780,
100000. Yet you will find commun-
tiles under the astounding fallacy
that the liquor traffic is good for
the business of the community and
as an argument they will cite the
revenue received. For every dollar
Of revenue, you impose five dollars
of taxation for the crime. pauperism
and insanity produced, and that
amounts to over two billions of dol
lars. The total amount expended
for and because Of liquor is SIG, 00O.-
100000 There is therefore, forty
dollars Of economic loss for every
dollar of revenue.
when this nation expends$1 .00O,-
100000 a year for appropriations,
we cry out, in dismay. What shall
we say Of a tyrant that has no con-
gress. but who has a very large share
in our congress. What shall we say
of tyrant that sits upon throne
and imposes a burden of sixteen and
one-half billions for the purpose of
of destruction and degeneracy? If
some invader came to this land, and
took away from any inhabitant the
products Of his farm, this country,
if need be, would go to arms. Here
we have a destroyer who comes
down upon US every year. and takes
away from our people more than all
the products Of all the farms. for

Olivia Times: M. j. Bowling re-
ceived a message from Chicago
Monday informing him Of the death
of his father on that day and he left
Immediately to attend the funeral.
The old gentleman had been in poor
health for the past couple Of years
and owing to his advanced years he
gradually grew worse, He spent a
year with his son and family here
recently, intending to make this his
home, but he left some months ago
to seek medical treatmentin Chicago
Olivia Times: James Leary, one
of the oldest and best known resi-
dents of Renville county, died at the
family home in Birch Cooley Monday
evening after long illness. The
funeral was held yesterday from the
Catholic church and the remains
were laid to rest in the Birch Cooley
cemetery, large number Of friends
and old and old neighbors attending
the last sad rites. The deceased was
resident of Birch Cooley for AZ
years. coming there from St. Law
renee county, New York in 1868 and
locating on section "a where he re-
NAMED until his death.
Some months ago the village of
Gibbon resisted the payment Of 10
per cent of their liquor license mon
ey into the Sibley county treasury.
the village attorney A. L. Young,
insisting that the law was unconsti-
tutional. An action was brought to
recover the amount. and last week
Judge Morrison handed down de-
cision favoring the village. This
case effects every village in the state
of Minnesota where there are sa-
looms, and if the decision of Judge
Morrison holds good in the supreme
court the municipalities of the state
will save annually large amount of
money. The case is naturally at
tracing state wide interest.

SONG RECITAL AT ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH.

IS the Scottish Highlander loves
and sings his Bonnie Doone" and the
Irishman his Wearing of the Green,
just so the Negro loves and sings his
Steal Away" Bye & Bye" etc.
For great many years these songs
were detestable to us, detestable be-
cause having sprung as they did from
the hearts of the enslaved, to give
them a place in our minds meant to
be constantly reminded of the state of
human chattel in which we once
were.
But the fact that within recent
years the civilized musical world has
recognized them as the original Amer
ican folk songs, and further, our own
education has brought us to the point
of properly appreciating them and the
more so as we advance educationally,
we love them.
Since the character and pathos OF
these songs could be the gift of no
nation that knew not suffering, who
ever cares to know the deeper facts
concerning the spiritual and intellec-
tual side of the Negro, yea his history
till the awakening of him by the
forces of eduoatl0n-study his songs.
For which purpose, if for no other, we
all agree they should be kept alive,
although they viii never have place
in the intelligent worship of our
churches.
However, since all that is good,
worthy and worth while finds recog-
milton in the church, it is within keep
ing of the dignity of that body that

Topeka contemporary says of
Denver citizen as follows:
Mr. Bert Ellis. who has many
friends in the state Of Kansas. espe-
cially at Lawrence. and who would be
glad to know the success the young
man has made in Denver Colo. Mr..
Ellis holds two positions which very
few negroes are given the opportunity
to occupy. He is employed as me
chanic In one OF the finest garages in
the city, and also holds a responsible
position with one OF the richest Den
yer millionaires. He has appointed
one OF his own race as his assistant.
Mr.. Ellis was born and reared In Law
renee, Kansas. He is the son of Mr..
Benjamin Ellis and the brother OF
Miss Birtie Ellis, who Is a graduate
trained nurse at Lawrence, and broth
er of Mrs. Il. l.. French of Colorado
Springs, Colo. Our race needs more
young men like Mr.. Ellis. who has
made credit not only for himself
but a credit for his race. He comes
from one of the best known and re-
spected families Of Lawrence.

ice to give to the singing of them.
On Sunday evening at 1880 o'clock,
March 5th, the choir of Zion Baptist
church will render a program com
posed principally of these plantation
songs, songs which penetrated the
tolls, loves and religion of our ances-
| tors.
So unlike the folk songs of other
nations are there of the Negro. In his
native Africa even he sings in major
! strains. But how different the char
acter of the American Negro songs.
Not one in major strain. not one.
Matters not how joyful the mood,
through which does not run an under
current of pathos, pathos often almost
agonizing in its mournfulness, yet ex-
quisitely beautiful n sentiment.
For instance. never since mar first
suffered has his longing for rest and
peace been uttered more plaintively
than in Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
Having kept before him ever as he
did the realization of patience in this
life and eternal rest and freedom in
the next, he longed to emerge from
the shadows of bondage into the glow
ing light OF God, and thus he sang.
