FIVE BILLION OoLLARs WASTED.

The total amount received from all
sources from the traffic, including
duties on imports. Is less than $780,.
900, 900. Against this should be placed
the cost OF public care for the conse
quences OF the traffic; the loss In
earning capacity, and degenerate man
hood in public asylums, hospitals.
prisons, and in prosecuting that
share OF crime Justly c~hargeable to
the saloon-a total UNNECESSARILY
greater than any possible income from
license and taxation. Careful and
conservative investigation, made by
expert statisticians, reveal the amaE-
Ing fact that the annual waste due to
the drink traffic In the United States
at the present time approximates
moro than $4,000, 900, 900 In loss Of
products, mortality and cost in crime
and pauperism.

UNSEEN DANGER OF SOCIAL
GLASS.


! once asked a young man who has
a large circle Of friends in the leading
society OF this city, and who is an alb
s%tainer, how often he was asked to
take wine, and was "jollied' over the
refusal. He said several times a
week, and told me Of some hostesses
who we're guilty of rudeness. | wish
they could all hear the quiet tones
of the physician who told me Of a
man he knew who died insane from
alcoholism. The several sons OF this
man came to this physician to learn
their chance Of escaping the disease.
He told them that II they kept ALSO
iutely away from alcohol their chance
was. good. but II they took alcohol at
all he would not answer for them. All
but one OF these sons have kept away
from the drug, alcohol, but one while
at college felt strong in his power to
take It moderately" He has no
power now. That youth might have
been the guest "jollled" by a charming
hostess. II these young women knew
the real nature Of alcohol they would
at least require a Doctors certificate
based on knowledge OF the habits OF
their guest and on those Of his ances-
tors before they urged the social
ylass,"-Alice l., Higgins, General
Secretary. Associated Charities, Bos-

caused more drunks than whisky. and
I can prove 1t beyond a shadow Of a
doubt. II you want to see what our
young men are %polluting themselves
with, just step into any saloon and
watch the drinkers, You viii discover
that there are Fifty glasses Of beer sold
to every one OF whisky. The people
get Just as drunk, drinking beer, as
they do drinking whisky. and It costs
them the same in the end. Beer la the

The pemagOgue and the MOB.

The DemagOgue and the Mob.
"A mob kills the wrong man"
was flashed in a newspaper head
line lately. The mob is an If
responsible, unthinking mass. 1t
always destroys but never con
struots. 1t criticises but never
creates.
Utter a great truth and the
mob will hate you. See how it
condemned Dante to exile. En-
counter the dangers of the un-
known world for it's benefit, and
the mob will declare you crazy.
1t ridiculed Columbus, and for
discovering a new world the mob
gave him prison and chains.
Write a great poem to thrill
human hearts with pleasure, and
the mob will allow you to go
hungry: The blind Homer beg
ged bread through the streets,
Invent a machine to save labor
and the mob will declare you its
enemy Less than a hundred
years ago a furious rabble smash
ed Thimonier's invention, the
sewing machine.
Build a steamship to carry mer
chandise and accelerate travel
and the mob will call you a fool:
A mob lined the shores of the
Hudson River to laugh at the
maiden attempt of "Fulton's Fol
ly,' as they call hrs little steam
boat.
Emerson says: "a mob is a
3ocicty of bodies Voluntarily be-
"eav'ng themselves of reason and
trayersing it's work. The mob
is man voluntarily descended to
the nature of the beast. It's fit
hour of activity is night. It's
atoms are insane, like it's whole
constitution. 1t persecuteS a
principle-it would whip a right.
1t would tar and feather justice
by ~inflicting fire and outrage
upon the houses and persons of
those who have these. Much
truth in a few words.
The spirit of the mob stalks
abroad in our land to-day. Every
week gives a fresh victim to it's
malignant cry for blood. There
We're As persons killed by mobs
in the United States in 1913; 81
n 1912 and II in 1911. Amonl
the As last year was a woman
and a child. Two victims were
pFoven innocent after THEN
death.
In 800 B. c.. a demagogue ap
p aled to the popular mob 10
have Socrates put to death and
he was sentenced to the hemlOck
cup. Fourteen hundred years
afterward a demagOgue appealed
to the popular mob and all
Europe plunged into the Holy
Land to kill and mangle the
heather. In the seventeenth
century a demagOgue appealed to
the ignorance of men and twenty
people were executed at Salem,
Mass, within six months for
witchcraft. Two thousand years
ago the mob yelled "Release I'M
to us Barabbas," and Barabbas
was a murderer!
The demagogue IS the leader
and instigator of the mob. He
appeals to the passions and igg-
norance of men. His stay will
not be long, for he fills the
land with discord, but he never
fills a pay envelope. Leslie's

More Than B Million Bales Gin ned and Crop is Estimated at
 More Than l6 Million

The government report on cot ton ginned up to December B, which has just been made public, shows a total of 13,977,189 bales ginned.
 In the last two years, approxi- mately g per cent of the entire crop has been ginned prior to Dec cember 13. Calculating this years crop on that basis, 1t would exceed 16,270,000, bales. The depart ment of agriculture in its prelimi- nary estimate of the crop, placed 1t at 15,966,000 bales Last year the departments preliminary esti- mate was 13,677000 bales, while the final production, was 14,156,000 bales.
 The total number of bales gin ned in Arkansas up to this date for the past four years is as fol- lows: For 1911, 894,277 bales; for 1913, 885,979 bales; for 1912, 103,- 339 bales; for 1911, 746,802 bales.

MEAT IN UNITED STATES
 WILL SOON BE A RARITY

Henry J. Williamson, a govern ment statistician in the depart. ment of agriculture at Washing ton, who has just completed a tour of inspection over large portion of the West and South west, made the statement in Chi cago few days ago that Meat in America will be a rarity before the war ends with its drain on our scanty supply. The number of cattle has diminished and the population increased progressive ly for ten years until now they are too widely divergent to hope to get full supply for at least ten years more.
 Unless scientific breeding for increase is general and the slaugh- ter of calves ceases, before five years have expired America will find herself in the class of Euro pean countries that have to i'm port beef" declared MT. William son.
 Increased prices for meat and leather goods were forecast by government and stock-yards ex- perts who have compiled figures estimating the visible supply of cattle at 35,000,000 including calves, yearlings and full.grown stock.
