POOf!

The American Issue: A few weeks
ago the authorities of some Of the
cities Of New Jersey undertook to
enforce the license laws of that
State for one single Sunday. The
very attempt to do such an auda-
cious thing resulted in attracting
national attention.
Then the Attorney General of
Texas, about the middle of Novem-
Der, ruled that there were only two
legal saloons in the city of Fort
Worth.
And under a recent decision of the
Supreme Court Of Iowa, in the Des
Moines case, it appears that there
are. practically no legal saloons in
that State.
And an attempt to enforce the
closing Of illegal saloons in Cincin-
natl a few weeks ago resulted in a
national eommofion. The mayor of
the city himself lined up with the
laW-breaking saloons and tried to
protect them.
Every little while a futile attempt
is made to enforce the excise laws
in Chicago, practically every one of
which are constant, habitual and
defiant violators of the law in re-
spect to Sunday closing, hours of
closing, etc.
Whenever an attack is made on
these chronic violators of the law,
some antediluvian whiskers arises
to make a speech about the well
regulated saloon being better than
prohibition Poof!

Christmas in Shreveport.

It may be noted with the fullest
measure of satisfaction that good
order prevailed in Shreveport on
Christmas eve, Christmas day and
Christmas night. 1t may be declared
that if prohibition does not prohibit,
the fact is, as reckoned by the rec
ords of past years, that if the saloon,
even if we'll regulated, had been
open, there would have been many
Of the community who would have
experienced sad instead of joy
full Christmas.
II the saloon had been open, many
of the dear mothers and the chill
dren would have been sorely disap-
pointed, as many good father en-
ticed into the glittering saloon
would have come home intoxicated,
il not drunk and dead to all love and
sentiment Of the day.
Prohibition did not prohibit those
inclined to have their egg-nog or to
enjoy their wine or their beer at
their homes or clubs, and prohibit
tion did not suppress the blind tiger
any more than terms in the peniten-
tiary can check the thief from his
propensity to steal, but with the
law Of prohibition enforceable, the
open saloon was impossible, and
therefore the many were not en-
ticed, and whatever money they had
to spend was applied to the comfort
and the happiness Of their wives
and their children.
The money that would have been
wasted in the saloon was applied in
purchases of Christmas gifts
Business profited and not the sa-
loon.
But we will not sermonize on the
saloons which fortunately haveI
been closed, and it is to be hoped
will forever be closed.
The police record is the best evil
dence of the good order which pre-
vailed on Christmas.
It is true there were several I'M
fortunates who were jailed for being
drunk, but it is a pity that even
these few were the victims of in
temperance.

Convicted of Cornering the Cotton.


Houston Post: Eugene Scales of
Texas, Frank Hayne and William1
Brown of New Orleans, Morri&
Rothschilds of Mississippi and Col. j
Robert M. Thompson of New York
have just been convicted in the Fed
srai Court of eornering the cotA N
crop of 1909 in violation of thu
Sherman anti-trust law, and a fine
OF $4,000 has been imposed upon
each of them. The cotton crop in
1909 amounted to slightly over ten
million bales. The parties named
above controlled only a few hun
dred thousand bales of the crop. BY
virtue Of this control, they boosted
the price and enabled the independ-
ent cotton farmer VINO had been
wise enough to hold a portion of his
staple to get fair value for it. The
bears of Wall Street and elsewhere,
who are the meanest gamblers on
earth, got one put over on them and
promptly and babyishly squealed.

Pensions for Confederate Veterans.

CHSlOilo IOf NOilltutTdtc veterans.
rs reported from Baton Rouge the
State Pension Board has finished its
quarterly session, approving the
quarterly pension of s2i for the
confederate Veterans and their wild
s'wso in order that the money may be
gotten before christmas. The PEN
sio1s tcar1 put 26e new names upon
Sheo roll during Che sIuarter. Eighty
OF the old soldiers and widows have
died and their 0asles were taken off.
some of the old soldiers have be-
cone inpatient because sheoone-miIl
tax for The Confederate Veterans
has not given increased pensions.
She One-mill tax was not collected
'until this month for 1913, as the 1918
taxes are never paid until the last
month of the year. The Legislature
made no appropriation for 1913.
The Pension Board has, therefore, to
borrow about 100000 for this year.
1t will take two years from the one
mill revenue to pay the present
pensions, and it will be 1915, for this
reason, before the increase in pen
slons can be given the old soldiers.

Trust Magnates Promise To Be Good

GOushatta Citizen: The trust mag
mates are notifying the government
that they are going to comply with
the requirements of the Sherman
anti-trust law. What declaration
to make, what a confession. They
are going to do right because the
government is going to make them,
but from no moral obligation what
ever. Large sums of money at the
command of unscrupulous men,
whether used under cover of COM
mercialism or other enterprises, is
a menace to the safety Of the gov
ernment and the sooner they are re-
duced to the ranks the better for
posterity.

That is the way Charles j. Brand,

markets. sizes up the egg situation.
"The division of markets, in coop

eggs from the country to the town.

partment poultry farm at Beltsville,
Maryland, has been selling the eggs
produced there in the course of the
poultry experiments to the employees
of the department at the market
price. We have, in the past month,
been using these eggs, simply to test
the possibilities of more. than a hun
dred different types of egg containers
by sending them through the parcel
post.
"Of course, the tests have not been
concluded, but at least six OF the
containers are standing mail trips
satisfactorily. Out of the first twenty
five dozen that we shipped continued
Mr.. Brand, there were only five
broken eggs and four were in one
particular dozen; so that there were
twenty-four dozen eggs shipped with
only one broken"
How about the expense for con-

containers be expensive, he replied

cases, are proving to be as satisfac-

Macaulay wrote his Lays of An

Mr.. Gladstone also kept in front OF

the rapid flight of time, the rapid
slipping through his fingers of his
precious life capital, and it was his
determination never to allow an hour
to pass through his hands from which
he had not extracted every possibility
He was always storing up bits of

this marvellous self-improvement and
self-culture were responsible for
