KAISER A TEEToTALER.
Said to Have Abandoned Use Of AIeo
holic Iiouors

Said to Have Abandoned Use Of AIeo-
holie Liquors.
Emperor William Is reported to have
Joined the ranks Of teetotalers, says a
Berlin letter. It is known that during
his recent northern cruise the empe-
ror abandoned the use of practically
all alcoholic beverages, and it is un-
derstood that he has permanently
foresworn even the Fatherland's fam
Gus beer and its choicest wines AS
substitute he has taken to lemonade
with dash Of orange Juice.
In imperial circles 1t has long been
known that Emperor William was
greatly impressed with statistical
study of the effects Of alcohol, rang
ing from incitement to crime to i'm
pairment Of mans working efficiency
He often expressed the opinion tc
members of his court that immoderate
drinking was one Of the greatest fac
tors in retarding the development OF
nations, and while he was swearing ir
naval recruits at Wilhelmshaven re.
Gently he took occasion to deliver g
lecture on temperance. Recently he
also told army officers that he would
be we'll pleased If toasts to his health
were drunk in water. -
The emperor has not forced his
opinion upon his friends, however. and
his own stand has received little pub
licity, perhaps for the same reason
that the. minister Of education Of the
South German state once opposed the
establishment Of a Good Templar
lodge on the ground that 1t threatened
one Of the most important industries
Of the empire. The imperial example
usually carries great weight.

Secretary McAdoo and Money Far

Secretary McAdoo and Money Famine.
When business is active, the usual
situation is a money famine in au-
tumn. With unbroken regularity New
York has for years seen higher interest
rates than any other city on the globe.
Money at 20 per cent has been no un-
common occurrence, while as much as
100 per cent has been paid during the
last decade.
Time money to mature next January,
thus carrying over the period Of grea'
est stress, is now lending in New York
at per cent This Is the more ex-
traordinary when comparison Is made
with the 81 or per cent which the
strongest railroads only recently paid
for loans running one year.
What causd this revolution in inter-
est rates?
The answer is found in Secretary
McAdoos deposit Of nearly s50.000,0OO
government funds in western and
southern banks. That money Is NOV
ing crops, and it obviates the necessity
of draining funds away from big east
ern cities to do the work.
1t has been an unwholesome, even an
uncivilized thing, for the United States
to endure a money squeeze every au-
tumn. It has been detrimental to al
business and a cause for constant wor-
ry and alarm.
BY anticipating another period Of f.
nancial distress, Secretary McAdoo has
prevented it. Laying aside all quib-
bles about how the government funds
should have been placed, the sequel to
the act of placing them somewhere is
instant and emphatic.-Philadelphia

and a complete evasion of the issue
for you and your corruptionist friends
in this community now to resort to the
old catch thief'' tactics by pretending
that the publicity which I am giving
to this matter Is wrong and unjustifi-
able; whereas they filled the newspa-
pers throughout the campaign ead
poured into your ears, among others,
after the election, that things here
were horribly corrupt, but that I, and
not they. was the corruptionist. You
and they have blackened my name, a
people and a community; and you
stink away when come before you

In ,Letter to SEC. Houston.
Secretary Houston has been learn

up the business Of teaching to man

Secretary Houston probably never
made a gallon of Chill Tonic" in his
life; but he is very particular about
his spelling. and would have turned
down the letter of his correspondent
because Of its orthography. II for no
other reason. He has had this letter

Of "medicen" without any thought OF
the empires who make them.

arsenic be large enough, would knock
almost any chill silly-it does not

ture that there are literally hogsheads
of this sort of stuff taken every year

however, desires to learn from the am
bassador directly what influences ac-
tuated the foreign diplomatic represen-
tatives in Mexico when they jointly
agreed to address their governments
with what amounted to a formal COM
plant against the attitude of the United
States in its relations with the Huerta
regime.
President Wilson has kept an open
mind on the subject, and is thought to
feel himself bound to adhere to the
policy he announced early in his ad-
ministration of lending moral suasion
only to such governments in Latin
America as were founded upon consti-
tutional law and practice
1t Is understood likewise that he is
ready to give due weight and consid-
Grafton to any representation Ambas-
sador Wilson may care to render
The President has had the benefit of
private reports from several of his
personal friends who have Travelled in
Mexico recently, but these We're unof-
fetal.
The reports were not sufficient to
form the basis of formal attitude If
there were to be any change in ad-
ministrative policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked if the
coming of Ambassador Wilson to Wash
ington would change his projected lee
ture tour. He said:

interfere with business instead of assum-
ing they would do so. All my lecture
