s.. Of Robbers.

West Liberty, Ia, Aug. 13.-Former
Mayor L. w. Sven was wounded in
the eye by buckshot, the safe in the
local postoffice was wrecked and
street lamps were shot out by three
bank robbers.
The robbers had battered down the

wrecked the door of the safe when
Sven, who lives above his store, was
awakened and appeared on the
scene. .E IL S. -
The three men rushed into the
street, shot out the surrounding lights,
and as Sven crossed toward the
postotfice building they opened fire
on him. In addition to the shot which
struck him in the eye Sven was, hit
on the arm and abdomen.
Swem's son, who came to the res
cue, also was fired upon. BY this
time other citizens gathered in the
street and the robbers escaped in the

"This is my first trip to Bemidji,"
said Mr.. Wise of Mankato' and from

This afternoon the party was ta-
ken for a boat ride around the lake
and down the Mississippi river to
the dam.
After supper a trip by auto will be
made around the lake and a short
stop at the mills from where they
will be taken to the Commercial
club rooms as guests of the club. A
short snappy program has been ar
ranged for this smoker and Bemidji
citizens will have an opportunity to
meet with the men who have honor
ed this city with a gift, the value of
which cannot be overestimated.

sHUNs SUFFRAGE QUESTION
Catholic Federation Will Not Permit
It's Discussion.

Milwaukee, Aug. 13.-The American
Federation of Catholic Societies will
not approve or disapprove of woman's
suffrage. The subject will not be de-
bated or brought up for discussion
during the convention if leading
here can prevent it.
This was made plain when Arch
bishop Messmer declared in an adj
dress in reference to organizing the
Catholic Women of America, that the
subject should be Stunned.
Keep the question of suffrage out
of this discussion he said. I'VE
will not declare for or against it.
The church has not yet decided what
its stand is. We are not prepared to
discuss the great principles that un.
derlie this problem, one of the great
est and most important of a genera.

finest of its kind in the world.

OUR CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR
Compares Favorably With That OF
Other Countries, Thanks to Activ-
ity Of Temperance People.

Our per capita consumption or
liquor compares favorably with that OF
other countries, thanks to the tenn
perance agitators.
When temperance people are de-
risively told that the report of the
commissioner of internal revenue
shows an increase In the output or
the brewers and the. distillers, we
must consider the increasing nuraber
Of immigrants who come to our coun-
try with their own ideas of liquor
drinking. The quantity Of beer con-
sumed per capita in the United States
Is not as great as in Belgium, the
United Kingdom, Germany or Den
mark; and our per capita consumption
of distilled liquor is less than that OF
Denmark, Hungary, Austria, France,
the Netherlands and Sweden. The
quantity Of wine consumed in the
United States is less per capita than
In Portugal, Spain, Italy, France.
Switzerland, Austria and Hungary
We should consider how much worse
conditions would be in the United
States were 1t not for the activity OF
the temperance people OF our country
We understand there is in the liquor
warehouses an immense amount OF
liquor which has not yet been dis
tributed, but which is reckoned in the
internal revenue report.

SALOONS CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Convictions In Police Court Of Bris-
bane Increase Greatly When
Dram Shops Are Opened.

The citisens OF Brisbane. Australia,
we're recently given a striking illus
tration of the fact that arrests for mis-
demeanors multiply with the opening
OF saloon doors and decrease when
they swing shut. A big strike was on
in the city and many workmen were
idle. AS an experimental measure
the saloons were closed for one week
Convictions In the police courts
promptly dropped from eighty-six to
twenty-six. and arrests for drunken
ness from fifty to five. After one
week of prohibition the saloons were
permitted to do business from three
to six in the afternoon. Convictions
jumped to thirty-five, and arrests for
drunkenness to fourteen. Next, the sa-
looms were allowed to run twelve
hours each day. Convictions jumped
to Lightweight, and arrests for drum
kenness to forty The following week
all restrictions were withdrawn. and
the convictions numbered 100, the ar
rests for drunkenness sixty-seven.

NOT A PRODUCER or REVENUE
Intoxicating Liquor Is Not Necessity
Nor Luxury-Fountain of Vice
Should Be Suppressed.

(By ATTORNEY GENERAL DAWSON
of Kansas)
Our ideas Of equity acquiesce read
lily in the doctrine that luxuries should
bear heavier rate of taxation than
necessities. But intoxicating liquor is
neither luxury nor necessity. 1t
is vice and the fountain of vice. and
we have no moral right to depend
upon vice as a source of revenue.
Luxuries are to be taxed; vice is to
be suppressed Furthermore, it can
be shown from myriad OF proofs
that the license system is not a reve-
nue. producer; it is not even what it
pretends to be. In cities where the
prohibitory law has been enforced and
the revenue licenses Or license fines
shut of, the incidents OF the liquor
business court costs, pallpers, de-
pendent and neglected children, and
kindred public expenses, shrink also.
SO that the loss of the license revenue
does not affect the ordinary taxpayer
