To the Editor of the Evening star:
Sir-I have read With interest an
item in the Star of the 18th inst. under
the heading "Bribe Story Lie, Brew
ers Declare, referring to an affidavit
signed by John Hinchliffe, of Pater-
son, president of the New Jer-
sey State Brewers Association, and
F. Albert Hahn, treasurer of that as
ISOLATION, in which they deny the
truth of the alleged statement made
by me in an address before the New
ark Presbytery to the egect that they
had offered a certified check for
$500 to one man to speak in their
behalf in the United States Senate
against the Kenyon bill.
1t would have been well for these
gentlemen to have ascertained the
facts before rushing into print with
a denial, and employing a notary to
verify the truthfulnesS of their
words Had they taken the trouble
to inquire of myself or of the gentle-
men of the Presbytery. they would
have been saved the excitement that
they have undergone, and the neces-
sity for such a denial.
In my address before the presby-
terry, or at any other time, l never
made the statement referred to, al
though 1 have no doubt said that the
liquor interests, of which the New
Jersey Brewers Association is an
active part. have paid vastly great
er amount in their efforts to prevent
the passage of the Kenyon bill, the
object of which is to prevent the
shipment in interstate commerce of
liquors intended to be used in vio-
lation of the laws of the State.
The agitation of these gentlemen
has doubtless been caused by an item
that appeared in the Press wherein
the reporter misunderstood the APP
plication of another statement that
/ made to the effect that l had what
to me was satisfying information
that the Brewers Association did
draw a certified check of $4,000 with
which to retain a prominent lawyer
to make single speech against the
local option bill, and finally did re-
tain such champion upon payment
of about half that amount. This
statement having been made in. con-
nection with reference to the Kenyon
bill probably led to the misunder-
standing on the part of the reporter.

Simple Portable Elevator.

The revolvator is a portable eleva-
tor which is designed for use in ware
houses and storehouses where it may
be desired to stack heavy packages
one above the other for the economic
ing of space. 1t consists of truck
which may be readily moved about
the room and an upright arm sup
porting a platform on which the box
or package is placed. Reaching the
point desired, the machine and its
load may be readily swung around
into the most convenient position for
unloading and the burden is raised
to the height necessary and the box
is pushed off on top of another SIM
liar box. Several men might be re-
quired to perform this task, but with
this device one or two at the most
are entirely sufficient to handle the
large and heavy packages.

LISTENING TO CHIMES,
MESSAGES THEY BRING

Sitting in the village churchyard,
while the children play with flowers
upon the sodded grass and the slow
gossips saunter past the gate and the
evening sunshine breaks in through
the golden shower of the laburnums
and rests peacefully on the worn
headstone. the Ginning of the bells
trembles through the air like speech
of living voices. What histories Of
human life have they not witnessed
up in that gray tower among the
ivy! What fears and jealousies, what
greed and passion and awful SINS
handed down in whispers of dark
tradition, have they not rung in and
out at baptism and wedding and
funeral! What mysteries are sealed
under these tombs, but no mysteries
to them.
How they have chimed for everyone
that is buried round, and mixed with
their thoughts, and wandered with
them through other lands, and come
to them in dreams; dying children
have heard them call to heaven have
fingered sweetly in the ears of happy
brides; lonely fathers have wept with
them for the dead; they have softened
the prodigars heart in far country;
they have rung like the voice of peace
through the din of battle; they have
startled the wicked thought and pal
sled the wicked hand, and there they
peal still, out of the past into the
present, over the dead and over the
living. 1t is only a peal of bells, and
we have heard them a thousand
| times, and nobody thinks Of them;
but yet all this and a great deal more
is in them.-William f. Stevenson.

mails too small to be seen, and of
weaknesses of constitution and their
effects. Famine-which is the failure
of part of the species to get food.
These three check all organisms in
their conquering march to possess
the earth. They must in the nature
of things. For if war fail, and pes
thence withhold its stroke, the my
riads will grow so great that famine
will come as a matter of course
1t is law of nature 1t applies to
all living things, unless man be the
solitary exception.
There have been those, like Nal
thus, Spencer and their school, who
have insisted upon war pestilence
and famine among men as a part of
the natural order. owing to the ten
dency of human beings to multiply
beyond the resources of the earth to
afford them means of living.
There are many others who, lack
ing the fortitude to look the predica-
ment of Man squarely in the face.
have said: "Oh, There's a way, and
always will be a way for all men to
live. Why, the State of Texas would
support the entire population of the
world, if it had to, Let's be opti-
mistiol"
Others there have been, and of
these Henry George is the best eX
ample, who, looking the case fairly
in the face, have denied the tendency
of the human race to multiply be-
yond the limits of subsistence, and
Mr.. George has even suggested that
it does not increase in numbers in
the long run at ALL He denies that
density of population has ever in
the world up to this time necessarily
produced poverty. And until it does
so produce poverty he refuses to adj
nit the inherent inevitability of the
sweeping off of redundant popula-
ton by either war or pestilence.
Men of the George school have
made the strongest case which has
been made against the argument that
man, an animal, like all other living
beings, tends to multiply, if given a
chance, to the limits of subsistence.
And their appeal to Divine justice,
and their defense of God against His
alleged detractors, have been per-
haps the most impressive of their APP
peals to the world.
HAS Cod" they say, more IN
human than the cruelest ship
owner, placed on the ship Earth
potential population which the sup
plies are inadequate to feed? Has He
so arranged matters that if these hui
man beings escape pestilence and in
obodiaooo IN tho nracentS of love re-
frain from killing each other they
must die of want? No BLACKBOARD
on the water front would do such a
thing! God has not done it,"
In spite of the tremendous force of
this argument, let us look at it. For
there is tremendous force in the prin-
eiple of multiplication, too. Let us
first ask ourselves, Does the race
tend to increase? And does it actual
" Increase?

and became an American citizen. In
this statement he says:
