Congress can tinker with the tariff until doomsday and not
begin to solve the problem of the high cost of living.
Have you ever stopped to consider what two billion dollars
would do toward solving that problem?
Do you think that it would help if we could find two billion
dollars somewhere?
We have found two billion dollars! Two billion dollars
worse than lost! John Bar1eycorn has more than two billion
dollars in his theving hst-money stolen from the people of the
United States. In return for the coin, to society in general and
to the individuals from whom he h1ched it, he gave infinitely
less than nothing.
In round numbers, the drink bill of the United States rep
resents an investment in body, mind and soul destruction of
$1,000 for each family in the country. When we remember that
there are unnumbered families that have no drink bill at all.
we begin to form a hazy conception of the annual drink bill per
family of the drinking families of the nation.
John F. Lennon, the treasurer of the American Federation
of Labor, says that 70 per cent of the drink bill of the United
States, is contributed by the American laboring man. What
does this mean?
1t means that the millionaire does not make the millionaire
brewer and disti1er.
1t means that liquor money is generally bread money. meat
money, shoe money, and money that ought to be spent for
clothing. 1t means that generally some stomach goes hungry
for bread, some feet go poorly shod, some body goes made
quately clothed, in order that the liquor traffic mag CRAFTY the
unspeakabe appetite it creates for unnecessary strong drink. 1t
means that liquor money is money generally needed for the
necessities and comforts of life.
1t is high time that Illinois help solve the problem of the

Polnt by SmearlnS Carlisle, running
over the Indians at will At no stage
of the proceedings were the red men
in the hunt, Echenlaub's line smash
ing and the fast work of the other
backs being too much for them to
solve. If Notre Dame defeats SYRIA
cuse Saturday the season can be
called success for the Catholics.
Michigan wound up the most dis
astrous season in years with defeat
at the hands of Cornell. Yost's men
started well and crossed the Red line
twice, but in the last half the Michi-
gan defense crumbled miserably and
Phillip went through gaps in the for
ward wall at will. Barrett ran the
ends almost without opposition. It
was the poorest defense ever eXhib-
tied by a Maize and Blue eleven.
At that Yost has not done badly
with a comparatively green team and
prospects are bright for next fall.
Splawn will remain of the backield,
and Maultbesch, admitted to be the
best plunging back developed this
fall, has two more seasons under the
eligibility rules.
Michigan's only eastern success
was against Pennsylvania, a team
which has been easy for elevens in its
own section.
Yale downed Princeton, coming
one point shy of the score made by
Harvard against the Tigers. But
Yale made three touchdowns to Har-
wards two. The Blue defense was
not up to the Crimson standard, as
Princetin ripped up the line for two
touchdowns in the last quarter. AT
the time, however, Yale was playing
mainly with second-string men.
Brown held Harvard to a scoreIess
tie, each tea mmissing several chanc-
es to score by field goals. Francke
was the only first string Harvard
back in the game.

YORK and Charley Murphy went TO
Cincinnati to confer with C. P. Taft
over his holdings in the Cubs.
Johnson's visit must have a pur-
pose but you can frisk us for the
answer. The best guess is that he
wants to settle the affairs of the New
York Yanks, whose chances of sue
ces inthe next pennant race are not
helped by having Bill Deyery in a po-
sition to give orders.
Taft and Murphy, it is supposed,
will confer about the $450,000 mort
gage the latter holds on the West
Side team. If the club is to be sold
to Federal interests Murphy will have
to give up the papers he holds.
A meeting of Chifed officials will
be held here Thursday. President
Weeghman says the session will be

reports from officers.

be Chifed when the season of 1915
opens. Mack has asked waivers on

Plank, Weeghman made the signifi-
cent statement that he was not now.

Anti-Hops.

Reports Of the hop harvest suffer-
ing through the wal would have
pleased the anti-hop crusaders of for
mer times. In the middle of the sew
enteenth century the city of London
petitioned parliament to put down
two anusancies, Newcastle Goals in
regard of their stencil, ETC., and hops
in regard they would spoil the taste
of drink and endanger the people" A
few decades later John Evelyn ap-
pealed to the king and all loyal land
owners to Danish the "drogue hopps,"
which, he declared, spoiled good ale
and led to fomenting diseases, by
planting cider fruit and so creating a
taste for more wholesome liquor. A
century ago Cobbett also wrote angrily
of hops and hop growers, chiefly be-
cause of the destruction of young
trees for hop poles.-London Chron-
icle.

LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Prop
erty Destruction in a Six
Months Conflict.

NLALNL
The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Mag
azine states. If people do not produce,
neither do they consume, and the
man who may have been making and
spending SO a day comes down to the
81 or even to the ten cent level with
out particular detriment to himself or
to his similarly placed neighbors. The
total wealth of Germany is $50, $780,
100000 and even if the actual war
wastes were $4,000, 900 a day this in a
whole year would amount to less than
1 per cent of the accumulated wealth
of the fatherland. The average death
rate in Germany is probably 20
per 1000, Or 100000 a year. Kill 1OO,-
900 soldiers and you have only doubled
for n year the normal outflow. In
four years, if the normal rate were
lessened from 20 to Is per cent, the
loss would be numerically made up.
The loss of life, the loss of time, the
loss Of property in a six months war
is, after all, insignificant compared to,
the great enduring life of the nation.
Recuperation will be rapid.
