Juarez Citizens Arm

More than v0o citizens of Juarez were given permission to arm themselves today fors the defense of property. The com mis,sions were issued by Sheriff Edwards as la result of his notice that he would aut horize to carry arms all who volun- teeTed.
 Ink spite of this action, the general opin- ion is: that Juarez probably will be oc- crpietd without much show of resistance.
 Two troops of the Fourth cavalry and a detfkchment of Infantry are on the river fro5nt to protect Fl Paso in the event of a Ibattle at Juarez.

protected from loss of Jobs? Scarce
ly! The next year. 1908, the number
Of railroad employees fell of by
235,709. decrease Of 112 per 100
miles against II per 100 miles in 1894,
the year when the results of the panic
of 1893 were felt most severely.
So what is the use Of trying to make
fools of railroad men or of any other
Americans by distorting figures? The
truth is that these fluctuations were
not due to high tariff or low tariff.

Cornell Students Against Drink

Undergraduates at Cornell University inclined
towards temperance at their banquets and public func
tons This is the conclusion drawn by the
Of total abstinence society," This society started the
to ascertain undergraduates sentiments the
liquor question and more than 1900 students have
been interviewed. One of the questions asked was,
do you favor dry banquets for your cass?"
and another do you favor dry smokers, trips,
etc.?"
The vote is three to in favor of the dry side
Of these questions. The freshmen interviewed voted
overwhelmingly in favor of "dry" banquets for their
own and other classes. The sophomores were almost
equally enthusiastically dry" The senior and jun
ior classes voted almost two to one in favor of the
proposition. Students in agriculture turned out the
biggest percentage in favor Of the dry Students in
law reported the narrowest margin. In agriculture
there 173 "drys" to 81 "wets in law A "drys

Questions Easily Answered

Those prohibition do propose any sub
stitue for the lost market for the farmers grain the
excise that keeps down the of his local
government tax.
The above is from the notorious liquor journal,
The Champion of Fair Play Its statement is easily
answered. Only two per cent of all the grain raised by
the farmers is used in the manufacture Of ntoxcants
Prohibit the manufacture of liquor and the amount Of
grain consumed would be increased tremendously for
the people would buy and would have the money
pay for it. Because of liquor thousands of families
do not get enough to eat Stop the manufacture and
sale Of ntoxcans and these families would live better
AS for the license and tax paid by the liquor traffic
it is but small per cent Of what the people have
pay because Of the results Of the traffic. Stop the
revenue from this by stopping the manufacture
and sale and you will start an industrial and business
boom such the United States has seen and
on the other hand you will cut off millions paid in
for the maintenance of the product of the saloon
and for the prosecution and care of the criminals it
makes.

Just Sparkling Water

A feature Of the recent banquet OF the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association in Philade-
pha, was the lack of drinks other than sparkling
all conventions of the association. Herein the whole
salers show their wisdom They find that it is better
in every way manufacture and sell liquors for the
of other folks, but to practice abstinence them
selves. Had there been another banquet in Philade
pha, the liquor would have been quick urge the
benefit of having drinks the menu, for they would
have sold the liquors and pocketed the money.
If then, the wholesale liquor dealers and
enjoy banquet where only sparkling water is the
beverage, ought other associations be able do
the thing? In complex associatonal life men
who drink and men who abstain often found sitting
together around the banquet table If liquors
served at these feasts the nondrinker feels that al
though he does parake of the intoxicants yet he
is culpable for sitting at board where other
drink. Many abstainers thus shut out Of other
wise pleasant and agreeable associations because a
part of the membership insists on having drinks.
Men who drink, whether occasionally every
day, certainly have sufficient opportunity in the reg
uar channels to get all the liquor they want without
insisting that every time they sit down to dine in pub
lie they must have something stronger than water.
It is a noteworthy sign of progress that more and
more there is growing a sentiment against having
liquor at banquets conventions and other public
semblies If the wholesale liquor dealers consist
ent, they will point to the public the advantage OF
banquets where sparkling water the only beverage
