cHoKED a TIGER TO DEATH.

In the mountainous province Of
Kirin, formerly. one of the three
provinces Of Manchuria. dispatches
are conveyed by soldiers, who ride
from n district to another. One
day last November a soldier was on
his way back to Kirin City. the CAPT.
tai of the province. when he espied
a large tiger coming toward him.
Disappointing. he aimed as best he
could. with a rifle not of the most
modern pattern, and fired. The ami
NAL, though wounded, was not dis

the soldier. Fortunately for the man,
he Kept his head, and. with the rifle
tightly clasped and supported against
his chest, awaited the oncoming of
the animal. Just as the tiger was
ready for the final spring. with his
jaws wide open. the soldier damned
the point of the rife with all his
might through the mouth, against
the base of the skull. The force of

Tho First Snowfall.
The snow had begun In the gloom

Was ridged inch deep with pearl.

Came chandeliers muffled crow.
The stiff rails softened to swans

And the sudden flurries Of snowbirds.

Shall the Workingman
Have A Keeper?

Nothing has occurred in a long,
time that so strikingly marks the
growth of the prohibition spirit
as the notice given by several
railroad companies to their en-
ployees that they must abstain
from the use of alcoholic bever-
ages on pain of dismissal. The
assumption that American work
men stand in need of so drastic a
warning, coupled with such a
penalty, is little better than an
insult to honest labor. That such
a thing is possible in this en-
lightened day can only be regard
ed as the strongest kind of tes-
timony to the spread of the pro-
hibition idea which now menaces
the rights of the citizen in many
widely separated states and com
munities.
Speaking on this point not
long ago before a committee of
the Maryland house of delegates
Mr., Edward Hirsch, president of
the aBltimore Federation of La
Dor, said:
1 am arguing that the Ameri-
can workingman believer in free
dom and the right to regulate his
own conduct. All this temper
ance legislation proceeds on the
theory that those who patronize
saloons or take a drink are weak
or irresponsible and need a
guardian. If you are to pass
such laws as to drink, where will
it stop? The Anti-Saloon League
always dictates to us our poll
tlcS ana threatens to dominate
parties; give them their way and
the next step will be to tell us
what we must eat or smoke or
wear. The principle is the same.
Our American conception of free
government is that men are
assumed to be responsible and
are guaranteed their freenom un-
til they abuse it. Has the Amer
ican workingman who stands for
the decent saloon, abused his
freedom that he must now be
placed in the custody ofithe Anti
Saloon LeagueY"
Evidently that time has come,
but the American workingman
will have none but himself to
blame should he throw away his
liberty.

ever raised their voices in behalf

Have they ever done anything
except to shout rum? While you
have been there pleading for
your homes and your families
and your lives, over here in the
corner is raised a hoarse voice of
the prohibitionists saying: For
Gods sake, don't take that
Don't give us the Employers
Liability Act! Don't give us the
Safety Appliance Act! Don't do
anything about mills and mines;
just wait. Don't take up that.
Let's first destroy rum. Join
with us on a moral issue. Let
us get rid Of rum and then we
will help you. And if you help
them get rid of rum and go back
you will find these gentlemen in

Not now. Let us get rid of
tobacco. Let us get rid of thea

should they be successful, will
have as little force in preventing
the use of liquors, as such laws
which already exist in Maine,
Georgia and Alabama. The
national government and the
treasury of the United States
have never appreciated prohibi-
tion laws.
The same old workings and re-
suits of any new effort, under the
re-enactment of the old statute
will continue, simply because
human nature is, human nature.
Illicit traffic among the lower
classes, defying the best exer-
tions of the officers of the law;
organizations of private drinking
clubs among the well-to-do; the
drinking of liquor will keep right
on. The temperates and the pro-
hibitionists will continue to lay
in their demijohns of whiskey
and cases of wine, until every
other house in prohibition terri
tory is recognized, not only as
the mans castle, but castle
amply supplied against q long,
dry siege. Then, too. instead OF
the supply of liquor being the
cause of an appetite, the facts
are proof positive that the appe-
tite demands it's supply in spite
of statute, or public arrangement.
The average anti-saloonist
would have you believe that
wherever prohibition has been
adopted ideal conditions exist,
liquor is forever banished and
sobriety and morality reign un-
disturbed. The actual evidence,
however, is entirely to the con-
trary. There is not a city Of any
great size in America where pro-
hibition has been adopted that it
has not, to a great extent, de-
bauched the citizenship, created
hypocrisy and deception; depict
ed the community treasury, de-
stroyed commerce and the sale o
liquor still goes on. 7
The evidence Of disgust with
prohibition has been emphatically
shown by states, counties and
cities throughout the nation, and
this is a disgust credited by actu-
al contact with prohibition con-
ditions.
Tennessee has prohibition, but
saloons are running wide open in
the cities of that state.
Georgia has prohibition, but it's
cities are overrun with drinking
clubs, blind tigers and bootleg
gers.
Alabama gave prohibition a
trial, and it created such terri
bic condition of crime and de-
bauchery that the law was re-
pealed and its principal cities are
now licensing saloons.
Twenty-nine of the states of
the union have at one time or an
other had their experience with
prohibition, and of these only
eight retain it.
Nearly every city in Illinois
tlfat has tried prohibition has re-
pudiated it.
Almost every city in Indiana
that adopted prohibition two
years ago has returned to the
license system at the first oppor-
tunity.
Does this not positively argue
the failure of this self-evident
fallacy?

What is Labor's Debt
to Prohibition?

When did you ever hear of a
prohibition convention raising it's
voice in protest. against killing
workingmen Mhen their lives
were only one-half done? They
are too busy talking about rum.
Now, let me tell you more. Do
you know of all the people who
are born into this world, all who
come upon the earth, one-fifth or
one-sixth of the human race of
the whole world go out through
one door, and that door isn't
rum-that door is tuburculosis,
and they die between 20 and 80
as general rule, when they are
of most need to their families
and friends. They die from lack
of air and food and room and
opportunity to live. They die,
not on account of rum, but on
account of monopoly, aud if one
tenth part of the energy and
money and hot air that's spent on
rum, were spent on tuberculosis,
that great scourge would have
been wiped out long ago. Do
these gentlemen care anything
about tuberculosis patients? No.
A man may be eaten alive by
tuberculosis and the prohibitions
ist looks squarely in his face and
says oh! rum! rum! Why, in our
tenement districts tuberculosis
goes from father to son, from
mother to daughter, from sister
to brother, and in our sweatshops
and factories they die like flies,
because men have monopo!ized
the earth, and the prohibitionist
looks on and shouts rum. Let
me tell you more. A half mil
lion workingmen were killed and
manned last year, the victims of
our industrial machines. They
were ground up by cars; they
died in molten vats of steel and
lead; they had their arms and
hands cut off by machines; they
fell from the tenth or fifteenth
story of an iron structure, up in
the air, while working to buy
bread for their families. They
died by every spindle and engine
that makes these great industries
what they are. Half a million of
these lives and limbs could have
been saved if man cared for life
and didn't care for dollars. If
they tried to make machines
safe, safe to protect human life,
men and women and little child
rem, these lives would have been
saved. The other day, in the
state of Illinois, about three hun
dred poor fellows went down in
to the earth with a torch on their
head and lived a lingering death
of perhaps week or ten days.
and never came up to their
families and their homes. The
reason was that men were more
interested in making a mine
profitable than in making mine
safe. (Applause.) Do you hear
any of these proeibitionists sigh
ana Go you see them shed tears
and Go you hear them raise their
voices in agony because of a half
million of poor workingmen
ground under the wheels of in
dustry every year to make money
for men? No. They don't see
the tears of the widows. and
they don't hear the means of the
orphans, and they don't hear the
dying groans of the poor victims
Of our industry. They are too
busy shouting rum!
Do you know that the labor
organizations of this country
have kept their men before every
legislative body in America p
they have taken their earnings

French Scientist Gives Details of Re.

Paris, France, Jan. 20.-M. Dus-
suad, French scientist, who has dis
covered a means for the production Of
what he terms cold light" today
made public some details Of his dis
covery, which, it is thought, may rev.
olutionze electric lighting.
Starting on the principle that rest
is as essential to matter as to animal
organism, h has constructed an
electric lamp in which the light is
concentrated on a single point by
filamcuts, working successfully; thence
the light is projected through a lens
magnifying a thousandfoid. Thus he
has succeeded in concentrating a p
O00-Candle-powcr light on one point
and in passing 81 volts into an S-volt
lamp. which with the ordinary light,
would burst
Experiments with this lamp have
established that the new light is alb
solutcly without danger, as no heat
is given off and it requires n hun
dr"d times less current than the or
dinarY lamp. It can hc worked by A
tiny battery or sufficient motive pow
