PROHIBITION
A MENACE TO
WORKERS.

Lord Acton calls the greatest
moral discovery ot the age that
compulsion is the worst crime Of
which humanity is capable, say
the Chicago Daily News Of June
Y, 1914.
It is this crime of which the pro.
hibiti5nists would make not only
himself, bat all of US guilty.
If he could c5uvince US that the
purchase and sale, of alcoholic
drink was Injurious, it is likely
NEST Of us would give ii up But
lie has failed to DO so, and 50 he
has set about 10 commit the crime
of compelling US to abstain He is
unable to accomplish this alone, he
needs our help, for, he IA; St have
enough people with him 10 pass the
laws he desires. Aud thus hS
would make us partners in his
crime.
Are the working people going
to become his accessories in putting
these shackles on themselves
Have we not enough shackles &c

Are we going to help him put

out of work to increase the army

Those We Know Are as Nothing to
Those Beyond Our Ken.
The photographs of 25.S76 standard
plates show the points, or images, of
100,000,000 suns. These have not been
actually counted, but plates secured by
exposure in telecameras to typical
regions of the sky have, and the entire
number has been subjected to the cal
culus Of probabilities, resulting in the
general number of 100,000000 colossal
suns.
These have been weighed-that is,
their combined force of gravtational
attraction has been computed. This
led to one of the most overwhelming
discoveries namely, this entire pull OF
attractions of the quantity of matter
in 100,000000 suns as massive as our
own sun could not even begin TO I'M
part the high specific speeds of several
well known runaway suns. These
are dashing through what has been
named space with yelocities SO much
greater than all other suns that they
are a class by themselves.
Our sun contains 333, ,426 tunes more
matter than is In the earth, and this
multiplied by 100.O0O000 reveals the
quantity of matter known to exist, be
yond all human Imagination. But this
immense mass may almost be ignored
as mere fraction in comparison with
the gigantic quantity necessary to i'm
part velocity of from $50 to 200 miles
per second to these suns flying athwart
the sidereal universe.
Let the number of these suns or dark
bodies run up to trillions or octillions,
then the entire quantity of matter in
all of them would be less than the
weight of one grain of sand if com
pared to an infinite quantity of matter

How Not TO Drown.

A person who has not learned to
swim. who falls into water, really
browns himself because he struggles to
climb out. Should he keep cool and
immerse his body, excepting his nos
trils, he could float until help reached
him. No one browns with his nos
trils above the surface and his mouth
closed. BY many experiments it was
ascertained years ago that fish-not
a mammal-will live ten or twelve
days out of the water If its gills are
kept thoroughly wetted, Ind a man or
woman with nostris above the sur
face will not drown.-Philadelphia

'I venture to assert that If you meas

you will not find person who has a
pair of equal length said DR.. @. W.
Cooke IN giving evidence in London
court.
THE human body is not symmet-
rical, as Is commonly believed" said
widely known doctor THE legs vary
in length and circumference, and the
arms as well. The right hand is usual
ly bigger than the left. because 1t is
used more. The head is by no means
regular in form-in fact, 1t is often as
not lopsided.
THE left leg is generally a little
longer than the right, presumably to
counteract the overbalancing effect on
the body of the right arm, which is
usually somewhat heavier and longer
than the left, since ninety five out of
every hundred people use their right
arm more than their left The eyes,
too, are nearly always different, both
in shape and strength, and through
sleeping more on one side than another
every mans ears are tilted at different
angles. Feet too, are nearly always
unlike in shape, due frequently to the

Compulsion has never served to
advance our race along the path of
progress. Whatever progress has
been made, has come from the free
activities of the people themselves,
and for the most part in fierce
struggle against comp Ilsion. The
free political institutions of the
Americcn people are the fruit of
many centuries of such struggle
against compulsion, first in Eng
land, and perhaps still farther
back, on the European continent
before the Saxon invasion of Eng
land, then in the United States.
Our liberties, such as they are,
have been gained in ceaseless fight,
while all compulsion has tended to
retard progress, to keep down lie
erty, and maintain the masses in
state of dull contentment with their
condition that would prevent their
asking and fighting for an ampler
share of the good things of this
world.
Il is the same reactionary spirit
Of compulsiop that finds expression
in the scheme of the prohibitionist
If he can keep the workingmen
from the simple pleasures of life
they will not aspire to be more
than the tools of the employers, to
be exploited by them until useless
and then cast aside to starve. For,
nothing tends more to keep down
ambition than to be chained down
10 the monotony of the daily grind
for mere existence, which exhausts
the strength of the body and mind,
and leaves no energy for the pur-
suit Of ideals or for the fight for
better things.
Newspaper reports recently con

a lower figure than the towns having
crushers can do 1t themselves to say
nothing of the towns which are not
so equipped. To assist in the improve
