The Cost of Crime and How Old Glory
Was Saved

The Champion OF Fair Play of September II in a
double column display article under the caption, "HoW
Old Glory Was Saved" says among other things:
The liquor trade has contributed to the United
States government for tax on whisky and beer to sup
port Old Glory $3,582,82 ,524.'
And, according to the editor Of this liquor sheet,
that is how odd Glory" has been saved.
By way of striking contrast we present this fact
as given by Charles ]. Bushnell, statistician Of Wash
ington, d. c., namely, that the cost of crime in the
United States is $1,000, 900, 1000 annually. This is about
two-thirds of the total value of all farm products in the
country and is Just about twice the amount of money
that has been given the government by the liquor in
terests in revenue.
But remember, the $6,ooo,ooo,ooo for the cost of
crime is the annual cost, while the amount OF liquor
revenue quoted by the Champion is the total amount
to date. Compare with the amount of the cost for
crime, the amount of the liquor revenue is infnitesi-
NAL.
The relationship between crime and alcohol is no
longer a matter of speculation. lnd1sputable testi-
mony from wardens Of penitentiares, and from judges
on the bench, backed up by official records show that
alcohol is a most important contributing factor in the
making Of criminals.
For instance, just last year the records of the
court of domestic relations of the municipal court Of
Chicago show that AZ per cent of the disrupted homes

AS THE ORDER CHANGETH
oid-Fashioned Drug Store Seems to Be
No Longer Necessity Of Life
in Modern Day.

''The old-fashioned drug store,
where a man could obtain in few
moments all of the materials for a
first-class sickness, to say nothing
of suicide, seems to be passing" sass
one observer. at has gone through
various stages in its development
from the herb to the postal card. The
first druggist was equipped only with
bronze ak. He went out and cut
up roots, boiled them over fire and
produced a combination hair restorer
and physic. From this idea started
all of the patent medicines"
We are not as dependent on drug
stores as we used to be, because we
can die thousand new ways every
year. There are motorcycles to hit
us between the curb and car tracks,
and aeroplanes to drop on us.
The druggist who used to mortar
and pestle his trade into steady Gus
toners now deals out froth and films.

WRITER'S FRIENDS AND FOES
Work of Charles Robert Maturin Com
mended and Condemned by Critics
Who Differed Greatly.

We live in days when any man of
letters who can be represented as a
literary ''infuence" is sure to find
biographer, and it is not surprising
to see the announcement Of a work
on the life and writings of Charles
Robert Maturin. Mr.. N. Idman
writes to the Athenaeum, asking for
the loan of any letters or documents
relating to Maturin, to be employed
in a study of that writer in which he
is engaged. Maturin is now chiefly
remembered by the attack made on
his play, 'Bertram," in Coleridge's
'Biographia Litteraria." Coleridge
describes "Bertram" as "a superfeta-
ton of blaspherny upon nonsense"
and says that ats hero's best deed is
having saved his betters from the
degradation of hanging him, by turn
ing Jack Ketch to himself" Scott
and Byron took very different view
of the tragedy, and it was by their
influence that it was successfully pro-
duced by Kemble at Drury Lane. "It
is one of those things" wrote Scott,
"which will either succeed greatly or
be damned gloriously, for its merits
are marked, deep and striking, and
its faults of nature obnoxious to
ridicule" Among other famous ad-
mirers of Maturin were Balzac and
Rossetti. Balzac borrowed from Ma

his own early works.-London Ma

THE BLACK HOLE.

The black hole in the milky wav
is a small void space in the star
covered sky in the milky way. which
by contrast stands out as an asnost
black spot. II is circular in form,
and a degree or so in diameter. Its
precise position in the heavens is
right ascension II hours 56 minutes
and south declination % degrees 81
minutes in the constellation Sagit-
tarius. In it there are four rather
bright stars which emphasize the
blackness of the space in which they
shine Near to it there is another
similar spot, but crescent in shape.
This void space is, however, less
sharply defined, and possibly on that
account does not appear so black as
the larger and more conspicuous
vacuity.

ENGLAND ALARMED OVER
SHORTAGE OF U. S. IMPORTS

The Food Number" OF the London
Times, issued June s, 1914, in its
leading editorial states that eight
years ago imports OF chilled and fro
zen meat from the United States
were valued at over 100000. In
1912 imports OF this product had
shrunk to s75, 900.
Quoting from the editorial:
This is by far the most striking
change that is at present taking
place in the food trade conditions of
the world. II means that the once
great export meat trade OF the Unit
ed States is now practically non
existent, and that unless the Ameri-
cans take steps to increase their
home production OF this staple article
of food they will not only cease to
export, but will become to an in
| creasing extent rival buyers in the
markets of the world with ourselves
and other nations. We are also
threatened with the same menace In
the egg trade by the United States
and Germany, both of which, instead
of being able to supply their own
demand for eggs, are now buying
! from Denmark and Russia and other
countries from whom we have hither-
to derived supplies"
England's concern about its meat
supply should further awaken far.
