The American people drank
more whiskey and beer, smoked
more cigars and cigarettes and
chewed more tobacco during the
fiscal year 1918 than in any other
yearly period of the nations
history, according to estimates
based upon the record-breaking
internal revenue receipts of the
federal government for the IL
months ended June 80.
The drinkers of the country
consumed the enormous total of
143, 100000 gallons of whiskey
and brandy, breaking the former
high record of the fiscal year
1907 by 7, 800, 600 gallons. Sixty
four million five hundred thou
sand barrels of beer were con-
sumed, exceeding 1915 great
record by more than 1000, 900
barrels.
Despite the high record con-
sumption of intoxicants, returns
to the internal revenue bureau
show that the number of saloons
of the country decreased by 49,
600 during the year.
Assessments on drinking and
smoking luxuries, on corpora
tions and oleomargarine and
other articles taxed by the fede-
raj government, brought into the
United States treasury 1914, 1885,
884, the greatest amount in his
tory, exceeding the previous
high record of 1911 by $21, ,9OO,-
900.
Various reasons are assigned
for this startling condition of
affairs, but the most plausible
one is that the manufacturers
have spent their money in in
creasing the demand for their
products, while their opponents
have worked only to reduce the
number of saloons.

The Jones-Works excise law,
the most drastic liquor law ever
designed for the District of
Columbia, went into effect July
1. Under it's terms not a drop
of intoxicating liquor of any
kind can be purchased in the
national capital between 10
O'Clock at night and 7 o'clock in
the morning or on Sunday. The
law is as rigid with the exclusive
clubs as with the corner saloon.
That a steady lobby has been
maintained for years at the
national capital by the ''inter-
ests" is the sworn statement of
Martin M. Mulhall of Baltimore,
reported to have been for years
the active field agent and lobby
ist of the National Association
of Manufacturers.
The nature and extent of this
lobbying for the interests" and
against the people have been
published by him in the New
York World and Chicago Tribune.
The statement purports to be Mr..
Mulhall's personal history of the
work from 1903 to 1912 of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers, and bristles with the
names of congressman whom he
alleges were "subservient," or
who were punished for their
opposition to legislation favored
by the association.
The allegations that he had
helped to defeat congressman
who opposed the interests of the
manufacturers, that this organi-
zation had spent thousands Of
dollars to elect congressman ex-
pected to be sympathetic to their
influence, and that he had aided
in securing favorable members
on committees that handled labor
legislation, and that his associates
had used great efforts to secure
the establishment of a federal
tariff commission in 1908, as a
means of delaying tariff revisions,
are contained in the long article
under Mr.. Mulhall's name.
The Mulhall article named
many former and present men,
bers of congress who were al
legged to have been active agents
in support Of legislation desired
by the National Association of
Manufacturers. 1t specified en-
ployes of congress who had been
retained to secure information,
and alleged that even the page
boys of the house of representa-
tives were used to pick up infor-
nation about proposed legislation.
The writer said he had spent
over 100000 in his lobbying
work; that he had conducted
state and congressional cam.
paigns, helped to break up labor
unions, and he had personal
knowledge of the extent to which
influence exerted by his associ-
ates had swayed legislators and

American Bible society during
its 81 years of existence, accord
ing to an advance copy of the
report for the fiscal year. An
extract from the report of the
board of managers follows:
'The year 1912 was not lean

ity or accomplishment. Men and
nations are ready to receive the
bible and the society must have
a large increase in its current
receipts in order to give it to
them. Translation and revisions

Few men have received the
united endorsement of a county
such as did J. C. Eakle for the
continuation of his services as
horticultural inspector for Stew
ems county. The policy adopted
by Governor Lister, that party
politics would not decide appoint
ments in the new agricultural
commission, was gladly followed
in this county, and Mr.. Eakle
received the unqualified indorse-
ment from members of all parties
for a continuance in the position
which he has so acceptably filled
for four years.
A practical man, who can go
among the people and actually
demonstrate the best methods,
is required in Stevens county
and we have that man. He is to
remain with us.

said. ''The progressive national

paign of education in ever state

is gaining in strength.

fected locally in districts which
never were organized before.
Literature is being sent out con-

The sugar growers insist they
cannot maintain their industry
without passing the hat.
Kind ladies and gentlemen"
they say, won't you please chip
in and help us? Of course, most
of you make your own living
without help from anybody else.
But we can't do that. So kindly
open your pocket books to us.
You have been making noble
contributions every year for we
don't know how many years. 1t
would be most unjust of you to
stop giving us your money in
1916. Please don't"
Isn't that exactly what their
plea for a continued duty on
sugar amounts to?-Kansas City
