WORK ON ARLINGTON
MAY Be RESUMED
Hotel Board Of Directors to
Meet Tuesday, But Purpose
Not Made Public.

The Arlington hotel project. which
has been greatly delayed because of
repeated financial reverses. may be re-
sumed again after the meeting of the
board OF directors Tuesday. The exact
purpose of the meeting could not be
learned. but it is supposed the directors
will again attempt to negotiate a suf-
ficient loan with which to carry on the
work.
/, The 100000 hotel project was start
ed much more than a year ago, but the
work has been stopped so often and for
such long periods that only the exca-
walton has been completed. Work has
again been practically abandoned and
although men in touch with the situa-
no definite announcement has been
made.
Order Fence Moved.
Meantime, the District authorities
have ordered the company to move the
fence that has hindered traffic for more
than year at the corner of II street
and Vermont avenue. The building
authorities allowed the company to
build the fence far out into Vermont
avenue in order to expediate and IA
cihtate the construction, but since no
construction work Is being done, the
authorities have ordered the fence
moved and cut down to a height of
four feet

panys directors, wrote Col Mark

the construction Of a building, to traffic
as well as to the workmen, should be

Will Check Danger.
The reduction IN the height of the
fence will eliminate to a large degree.
1t is claimed. the possibility of acci-
dents that might happen because driv-
ers cannot see over the present high
fence and are unable to tell what traffic
is approaching from the other street
officers of the company have steadily
declined to discuss the plans that are
to be undertaken. It is believed pos
sible. however, that the directors meet
ing may open a way for the immediate
completion of the project by means Of a
foreign loan, for which the officers have
been working for some time.

GOO-GOO'S APPEAL
TO PREJUDICE

The so-called good government
league of Illinois is addressing a
plaintive message to the farmers
against the initiative aud referendum,
declaring that it means single tax
The good government league is very
anxious that it should be permitted
to govern the people instead Of letting
them govern themselves. They are
so afraid the people will make mis-
take if they have any power. 1t is
certainly kind on the part of the goo
COOS. Appeal to Reason.
In telling farmers of the pos
sibiIIty of single tax through
the Initiative and Referendum
this league of pure and holes
appeals to an ignorant preJud-
ice. Either directly or through
inference it conveys to farm
ers the old faIsehOOd that the
single tax will burden them
when as a matter of fact 1t will
relieve them of heavy burdens.
A half truth has long been
known to be the worst form of
a lie and this is the kind of de-
ceptiOn now being practiced
by this "gOOd government"
league on the farmers of Hill
nOis. The main difference be-
tween it and an ordinary pO-
IiticaI igang is that the gang
does not pretend to be pure

alcohol consumed. They pointed out
alienists attribute at least 10 per cent of
all cases of insanity to alcohol directly,
and indirectly the drug is an important
factor in the causation of a much higher
percentage of cases, so that the Kansas
statistics agree fairly we'll with those of
the alienist statistician.
The life insurance companies of Eng
land make careful study of the relation
of alcohol to longevity. For example,
the report of the Sceptre Life Association
contains an instructive comparison be-
tween the mortality of its abstaining and
Notwithstanding policy holders. In 1911,
i'll the general section, the mortality was
H.7S per cent of the expected that is,
there were los out of 135 expected deaths.
In the temperance section the mortality
was only 81 II per cent of the expected
deaths or 90 out of 1876. For the last rs
years the percentage of actual to expected
deaths has been in the general section,
1871; i'll the temperance sectionl 52.45.
Both classes of policy holders are of the
same social status, engaged in the same
occupations, and have passed the same
medical examination. The conclusion is
therefore drawn that total abstinence
tends to longevity. However, no
account is taken of the fact that total alb
stainers are apt to bo more careful in all
their ways oflife than the average citizen
They are more thrifty, pay more atten-
ton to hygiene &C., and these factors
must play some part in their longevity
