We give below letter which appeared in the col
of "The Voice of the People" in the Chicago
Tribune. 1t answers very emphatcay the charge of
the Manufacturers and Dealers Association that the
ten billions that their interests handle in the liquor
business each year should be discontinued rather than
continued But why take just 6 per cent of this
amount? Why not the whole for clothing, food
and for the making of character? That is Just the
interest of the amount invested while the capital as well
is wasted The letter is good but too conservative
we think.
Chicago Aug IS Editor of The Trbune]-I am great
interested in the proposed series educational articles
offered the readers of The Tribune enlghen them on
the business of the brewers and dslers trust these
people will have the opportunity they seek Enlightenment
is what is wanted and is best from first hands
The light thus far surely is good $Ioooooooo an
nuay passing through the brewers dsters hands at
would yield $6oooooooo together with $1o8
100000 worth of barley rice hops consumed
their operations makes $7o8oooooo in these two items
Of which furnished the consumer single garment
single mouthfu of food single ray of enlightenment or
shadow of character.
All of this is we'll worth knowing at any time but es-
peeay in these times of the high cost of living The first
effort of these people establishes their ability to educate
shall await their second lesson with great interest

HIGHLY C0L0RED FUN.
orotesaus sport That Is Part Of thl
Hall Festival.

The curiously childish horseplay Of
the IIoli festival. which Is celebrated
annually by the maharaJa Of Patiala.
II described by Mrs Charles Bertram
In "A Magician In Many Lands" The
author made the acquaintance Of the
famous Hindu ruler during a tour Of
India aud was invited to remain over
for the festival.
Early in the morning ! went TO the
club. where I found many of the
guests. who were taking part 10 the
ceremony for the first time. We were
provided with complete new suit Of
Hindu garments. and our dressing
was superintended by the maharajas
servants We had camels, elephants
and yictorias provided for us. was
on an elephant IN kind OF box. and
we drove in procession TO the palace
In the native city.
We were received with great acclaim
BY the natlves. and I was led to be-
lieve that It was to be decidedly a dig
nlfcd occasion. But was woefully
mistaken. The fun had not begun.
Certain formalites had to be gone
through before the signal was given.
We took our seats in the courtyard
OF the pnlace at long table that was
loaded with large gilt dishes filed with
different colored balls as large as
oranges and flied with Holi powder

salaamed TO the prince. who took one
Of the balls aud threw it gently across
the table. striking the officer on the

The BAH broke and scattered the
powder over his costume. Then there
was II general scramble. and In less
time than 1t takes to write hundreds
Of balls were flying about, their many
colored contents scattered broadcast on
the crowd Next baskets Of loose pow
der were thrown upon MS In handouts.
II was no use to expostulate. The
moment you opened your mouth some
body filed It with powder. The battle
grew fast and furious. when suddenly
an enormous stream Of water from
FIRE engine drenched everybody. The
colored powders became wet and. min
Cling together dyed MS all in brilliantly
variegated hues.
After this sort Of thing had gone on
for half nm hour it ceased by mutual
consent. aud we returned to the pri-

sir John Ashley had curious habit
OF speaking about himself as ASHLEY
and blending the third person singular
with the first person in the most un-
usual way. This is how he used to re-
late what happened:
Ashley went to the Derby. and I'm
blessed If Ashley's ticker wasn't stolen
from him. As it had been given me
and I priced It. | went to the head

minutes with Asbley's ticker. which ne

The proposal to establish-a native in- dustrial school at Skagway meets with approval almost everywhere in Alaska, but what may be the policy of the gov ernment is hard to determine. The only institution for the benefit of Alas kaps located in Alaska is the Pioneers Home at Sitka, and that was achieved by the Territorial legislature. Schools where children are instructed in the mysteries of the three R's are main tained here and there, but outside of that the burden of cultureis left to Che white man, unless the federal jails may be included in the count.
