basement of the people as whole, a

final incapacity to preserve or TO
defend the institutions of free gov
eminent. Opponents of state prohi-
bition talk of local government
and personal liberty. The liquor
traffic will destroy the capacity for
both as surely as it is allowed to
continue. | have seen it stated on
reliable authority that in our great
cities the alcoholized degenerates
are already sufficiently numerous to
hold the balance of voting power
among the various parties
The economic loss occasioned by
the liquor traffic must also be con-
sidered The annual consumption OF
alcoholic beverages in this country
now reaches a total of two and one
half billion gallons, costing nearly
two billion dollars, more than TWEEN
ty-five gallons for every man, wo-
man and s1ild. The added annual
cost in taxation to alcoholic sources
approximates another two billions.
The annual loss in National wealth
due to lowered efficiency of produc-
ton resulting from alcohol amounts
to fourteen billions more, according
to a careful estimate by Representa-
tive Hobson. This last figure is
representative Hobson estimate OF
~ Of of
cy due to alcoholic indulgence, an
estimate in which the loss in pro-
ductive capacity of drunkards and
heavy drinkers Is placed at rs per
cent, OF the regular drinkers at. so
per cent, of the occasional drinkers
at 10 per cent. The estimate in
cludes the placing OF an economic
value of $4,000 on each of the 1901
600 men who are sent to untimely
graves from alcoholic causes every
year in the United States. Mr.. Hob
son bases his calculations as to de-
creased efficiency on scientific
test by the celebrated German ex-
pert, DR.. Aschaffenberg. Cutting
this estimate by one-fourth or one
half, we have an economic waste
from the liquor traffic that threat
ems not only the prosperity but the
existence of the nation.

AS ToMMIE UNDERSTOOD II
Figure Out for Yourself Just What
Had Been Done With That
Dog Ordinance.

One year, In q certain town in
Maine, a tax was levied on dogs for
the first time. 1t caused quite an ex-
element among the dog owners, as
many of them had dogs good for moth
ing except for pets.
So the next year an article was In
serted in the town warrant to repeal
the dog law. All interested attended
the meeting.
When Mr.. w. came home his chill
dren, who had a pet dog, met him,
eager to hear the result. Mr.. w. said :
We'll, boys! they have repealed
the dog law"
Little Tommie, four years old,
catching the words from his father
and entering into the spirit Of the oc-
casion. rushed in to where his grand
pa sat reading, and shouted Grand
pa, they have peeled the law dog!"
Have what?" asked grandpa.
They have peeled the dog"
What did they do with the peel
ing?" asked the grandpa.

he legged it for the door.
Papa. what did they do with the
dog-peels?"

Tommie rushed back.

What did they do with the ber-
