At the end the present year, ac-
cording to news received mere from
Copenhagen, it will be impossible for
either natives or tourists to obtain
alcoholic liquors in Iceland. Under
the a%nti-spirit law permission was
given to consume the present stock
Of liquors in Iceland, and figuring
on the per capita consumption it
will be gone by the end Of the year.
The. government adopted the drastic
prohibition laws because it was felt
that the excessive drinking Of the
Icelanders were undermining the ply
steal fitness OF the people. .
During the past twenty years the
trade and industry Of Iceland has in
creased enormously. Twenty years
ago there was not a dairy in the
country; now thirty big dairies are
sending thousands Of casks Of butter
to Leith and EdinAurs. Sheep rails
ing is also becoming an important
business. Fishing, however, contin-
ues to be the staple industry Of the
people. Twenty years ago $1,000. 900
pounds Of dried cod was exported
from Iceland annually: now 10000
0G0 pounds are shipped each year. A

Details Of this situation have just
been received here from Russia. 1t
seems the military authorities ecen
ly realized that the students were,
after all, candidates for arny posts
and subject to army discipline, and
they issued orders that they salute
when meeting Officers. The students
in a body refused and for several
months there has been a steady sue
cession OF street rows, due to officers
attempting to insist on the proper sa.
lutte. Finally the matter came to
bloody encounters, in which officers
cut down with their swords students
who persistently refused to salute
them. Discipline in the academy
went entirely by the board, studies
stopped, and the authorities finally
closed the institution.

Speaking words of praise, Representa-

the members of the Oldest Inhabitants
Association in his address Wednesday
night. it must not be concluded, how
ever, that merely because Mr.. Graham's
speech was ingenuously frank and di-
rect ii was lacking in truth. When
he told the Oldest Inhabitants that they
had played valuable parts in the Gre
alton of very beautiful and wonderful
city he was no fatterer. Washington
is, of course, the Federal city, but the
dominant spirit of the place is from
its residents, not its governors.

the capital of England, cannot be at

Soap.

/ Cleanliness is next to Goodness.
This old-time truism is evidently be.
lieved in the United States, and in nc
place more than in noisy, dusty, be-
tenemented New York City, where
there is ever a great army of unwashed
seeking the benefcent effects of soap.
In evidence of this the statement is
made that New York produced over q
per cent of the soap, $III,oooooo worth
made in the entire United States.
Some time ago Chicago was the great
unwashed city, but either immigration
or politics has downed Chicago and
placed New York to the fore.
There are some 500 soap factories
worthy of mention, and large number
of little fellows. to say nothing of the
innumerable barrels of wood ashes on
the stoops of many country homes that
contribute to the winters stock of soft
soap.
And the people, washed and I'M
washed, have been making more strenu-
Gus efforts year after year TO slick
up" A few years ago there was not
near as much soap being produced as
there is today, but the widening spread
of the gospel of cleanliness is having
its effect.
1t is a TACT that 1900 people
make their living producing soap, that
So8ooo,ooo of actual cash is distrib-
uted among the workers, that the rail-
roads haul millions of boxes and re-
ceive freight thereon, that country
stores are furnishing the needed soap
all over the hamlets and villages and
so the cleanly text is passed along.
And in addition we import millions
OF boxes of Paris soap, Berlin soap,
and, in fact, soap of all nations.
Incidentally, the great unwashed"
can afford to use more soap than ever.
May the soap industry ever prosper.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER q. 1913.
Fair Play for Railroads.

The railroads of the country have
been largely responsible for the rapic
and unequaled development of th'
broad acres of this nation.
Perhaps the expansion was too rapid
at the time, but ohe demand always KEEP
ahead of the construction trains; per-
haps capitaImay have hesitated in these
ventures and demanded bonuses, before
making over the necessary checks and
credit. This in turn may have made
overcapitalization, but in those days
of development, capital could demand
and exact.
Perhaps the railroad men of the Van
derbilt age, of the Jay Gould and Har
riman, of the public be damned type,
did play fast and loose with the people,
and committed the sins of rebates and
concessions.
But ali that is over; it is an issue of
the past today. Men at the head of
the great systems, today ask for Fed
eral control; they admit that they need
the governments protection to save
them from too drastic State rules.
Moreover, the continual cutting of
rates, the almost continuous record OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
opposing increases of rates, the high
rates of money, the demands for equip
ment and rails of higher quality, the
shaving OF the long-received express
contributions through reductions by rea-
son of diversion of express matter to
parcel post and the delay of the gov
ernment in paying for this new class
nf mail matter, has made many rail-
road managers literally fight to keep re-
ceivcrships away from their doors.
The Chicago Association of Com
merce. the largest shipping body in the
country. has decided that II will not
oppose the petition OF the Eastern lines
for a 5 per cent increase in rates.
The association has filed a set of res
olutions with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, stating its position and
leaving the commission to give publicity
to them If it sees fit.
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific board, entertaining a
proposition OF 1900 trainmen to strike
ii wages are not increased, declared
that throughout the West, the spirit
OF the people using the railroads is
much better and more cooperative than
have ever seen them before. This
Is bound to have its effect and will
eventually be reflected in the attitude
of Legislatures"

The car whiZzed away. But at the

across an open field, and came by a
flank movement to the porch. He tiptoed
up to it. Behind the vines he heard un-
restrained sobbing. 1t seemed TO be a
sound he desired. for he grinned broad
