1t would delight Mr.. Bryan, or even
President Wilson, to see how completely
the grasping middleman" has been eli
minated in bringing the products of the
sea to table Of the consumer. When the
little craft is seen coming across the water
with her nose to the shore, such of the
villagers as want 10 buy from first hands
flock down 10 the landing with baskets
buckets anball manner Of kitchen vessels,
and when the boat has been beached the
captain and his crew act as salesmen,
handing ont the fish from the assorted
heaps and taking the cash. The trans
action is exceedingly simple, and all those
devices by which the cost of commodities
is enhanced are avoided. II must be ad-
mitted, however, that goodly number
of the cottages prefer to wait until the
street hawkers come along and bring the
fish TO their doors.
These are the wide awake fellows, who
watch the incoming of the boats, buy at
the wholesale price on the beach, and
get the retail price on the street. They
make a living by ministeriug to the lux
urious habits o. the rich.
When the fish get into barrels and are
taken up TO the ware houses for shipment
a new series of economic problems con-
fronts the skipper, as well as the ultimate
consumer, Quick transportation, careful
handling. prompt delivery. the loss from
deterioration Of perishable freight and the
enhanced cost that attaches 10 all these
processes must be considered and paid.
Certain progressive publicists and states
men propose 10 regulate all these things
by positive statutory enactments, and
thus reduce the cost, without disturbing
the earnings Of the laborers employed in
production, transportation, handling,
sale and delivery.
A more conservative school of thinkers
would leave all details to the self-enact-
ing and self-executing economic laws,
which must prevail, in the end to the
common law of the land and to the
common sense of mankind. Incidentally
I may remark that the fishermen on this
happy shore complain OF the railroads.
They want shorter intervals between
trains and lower rates.

HE RAPS TREATING

An attack on the licensed saloon, com
ing from a man prominent among liquor
interests and published in a liquor dealer
journal, forms the basis of a remarkabl,
editorial BY T. NJ Gilmore, president O.
the National Model License League, il
a currentissue Of Bonfort' Swine and Spirit
! Circular
The editorial recommends liquor deal.
ers to consider abolishiug the saloon Il
they wish to stem the prohibition tide
that is adding dry territory TO the mar
OF the country each wear. Il condemns
the treating habit, the public barrooms
shut of by screens and closed windows.
and recommends the substitution of cafes
/ for the saloons.
After citing the rapid spread of dry
M ovement over the country, Gilmore in
troduced figures to show that while the
number of retail licensed places has de-
creased, the consumption of alcoholic
drinks has increased.
The real trouble would, therefore,
seem TO be the American saloon, " he saws.
Whatever our individual views NAV be
as 10 the way a man should take a drink
or as to rightsof the individual in the mat
ter of drinking, it ought not to be diff
. ~s-%e AN- 40 ~ ANd4lAG AlAhA LllE great wave
of sentiment that has cost US so dearly in
the past, and that makes the future look
so ominous, is really aimed not at our
business, but at the physical construction
OF the places where our commodities are
retailed
The same man who will go to Europe
and take his wife and-ehildren into a cafe,
or who will visit beer garden or a rath-
skeller in this country accompanied by
his family, viii probably put up money
and cast his vote in opposition to a saloon
that is located in the immediate vicinity
in which he resides,
There Is something about the standing
bar and the screen that hides the bar from
the street. and the fact that saloons are
patronized only by men, and the fact that
II saloons the treating habit generally
prevails, that arouses in the mind of the
average American-and this is true of men
as well as women-a violent protest and
an unreasoning opposition.
It would be no great hardship, il
seems to US, on the saloonkeepers of the
country If they should be compelled to
change their places so as to make them
correspond with the cafes of continental
Europe, so as to insure their being pat
ronlzed by men and women rather than
by men alone.
But even if this should entail some
trouble and expense, it would be far bet
ter for the retailer than this continual
warfare, and certainly for him to be out
lawed entirely.
There is little doubt that under the
cafe system the treating habit would prac-
tically disappear there is no question
that our percentage of intemperance
would be tremendously reduced
Six men standing before a bar may
each insist upon the others taking a drink
at his expense. but six men seated at
tables with their wives would hardly in
sist upon the others taking drinks that
they did not desire.
If the change from the saloon to the
cafe did nothing more than abolish the
treating habit It would work a tremend-
ous reform in this coutry, and would be
a blessing to our trade of inestimable
value.

The Junior Choir of the M. P. Church
wishes to thank Mr.. Pettyjohn for the
use of his hall and piano for choir prac-
tice. They also wish to thank Mr..
Henry Mason for tuning the piano free

he could do something to help such a
worthy cause although he is not men

by Mr.. Pettyjohn and Mr.. Mason are

Official members of the church, as the
time was so taken up they could only
spare them Monday night for practice.
This church only cost $4,000 so it is
plain enough to see the mistake in build

a $44, 900 structure possibly there would
have been enough for the Seniors and
Juniors to practice on the same night

Home Board of Directors
Asks for Site Offers from
This Section.

IN some parts Of the state it has been
pretty thoroughly published that .hS
Knights of Pythias Of this state have
movement on foot for the purpose
Of establishing a Pythian home in
this domain, and in other parts it
has not received very wide publicity.
Nevertheless, it IS fact that the
grand lodge has collected upwards
OF $4,000 for this purpose. and said
sum is being augmented each year
by the earnings OF said sum as Wen
as by an assessment of fifty cents
upon each member.
At the convention of the grand
lodge held in Charleston last August,
it was the sense of that body that
steps should be taken by the board
looking to the proper location for
a home, and to that end to solicit
free sites or cash bonuses. or both,
therefor. and to report the result
thereof to the next convention of the
grand lodge, which win be held IN
this city in August
Sometime since the board Of de
reetors sent to the lodges aud other
persons, circulars IN which they set
forth their ideas as to Of what a
property should consist, as follows:
THAT it should be farm of from
fifty to hundred acres of land. con-
venient to some live, progressive
town, having a business future be-
fore it: that this should be located
in some good agricultural section Of
the state where the price of living
viii be cheapest-that is reduced
to a minimum cost; that the farm
should have on it at the time it is
secured. # practicable to obtain such,
a bearing orchard and a good, sub
stantiaI dwelling house, brick pre-
ferred. having several rooms there
in, and should. be so located as 70
give the residents of the home the
best of public school advantages,
and convenient to good waetr, light
and heat supplies.
II, anyone in this vicinity has any
proposition to make to the board OF
directors for said home, the Tele-
ram is informed that the board OF
directors would be glad of the cp-
portunity Of presenting such offer TO
the grand lodge for its consideration
at the CIarksburg convention. and
any offer in this connection should
be sent tc L. V. G. Morris, secretary,
