seat Of justice. is to charge that the
constables and other peace officers
have been negligent in providing suf-
f1cient state cases to enable the court
to afford steady seat. charge which
the records at the court house quite
readily disprove. The best that our
good people can hope is that the court
will not find that the chair was wobbiy
and that the justice would have been
unable to sustain his upright position
even If the chair had been substantial.
Let US be saved the double humility OF

LAND At $3.50 PER FOOT.
Rseord Price Paid for Twelve Inc
Strip o. Chicago Real Estate.

Chicago-Land sold for s2,291.s7 an
inch on State street Tuesday
Only one foot was sold at this price
and S27.500 was paid for 1t.
Charles A. Stephens 4 Bros were the
purchasers. The Columbus Memorial
Building company was the seller.a
The twelve-inch strip Of land-said
to be the second most costly in the
annals Of realty deals Of Chicago--is
on the east side Of State street be-
tween Madison and Washington streets
The sale means
There win be 1870 square feet or
4276so square inches more of floor
space in the skyscraper being erected
by Chalres A. Stevens & Bros. In view
Of the fact that total investment of
100000 is involved in the construc-
ton Of the building, which will have
nineteen stories above and three be-
low the street level, the S27,500 for
q foot Of land that will give 2,970 more
square feet Of floor space. is regarded
as Of little more than ordinary i'm
portance.
The foot Of ground is under the
Columbus Memorial south wall and ex-
tends back ninety feet from State
street. It makes this a party wall''
n!nety-three feet on State street. Had
they been unable to buy this foot Of
ground they would have had to build
an eighteen-inch addition to the three
foot wall between the two buildings.
And this loss. when estimated on all
Of the twenty-five floors. would have
amounted to 1910 square feet Of floor
space.
The Wabash avenue part OF the
Stevens skyscraper has practically
beeN completed, and according to
Charles A. Stevens, the work of tear
ing down the old State street building
will begin this week.
Stevens & Bros. will occupy the first
six stories and two Easements. whilA
the remaining thirteen floors will be
divided into shops and spaces to suit
tenants and will be sublet.
An arcade. to be known as "Style Al.

floor from State street to Wabash

side, will be one Of the unusual fea-

be completed and ready for occupancy

GRAPE JUICE AND WATER.

Some persons who love sensation AND
ried over the allegations made agains.
grape juice, Mr.. Bryan's favorite bev.
erage and one favored largely by tenn
perate people everywhere. A Missouri
congressman branded the innocent
grape juice as intoxicating to an 8
per cent alcoholic degree and smote
verbally hip and thigh at the drink the
secretary of state has made famous.
Some chemist somewhere had dis
covered SO much by analysis and Con-
gresham Barthold. grabbed the fig
ures. stretched himself TO the utmost
as to height and mouth and held aloft
this new torch Of personal liberty
The other day the organ of the liquor
dealers, the Bulletin, proclaimed in big
(head lines that appendicitis is caused
Nby drinking water. You drink water.
Have pains in the abdomen. On the
right side running across transversely
to the eastern boundaries. Either the
surgeon leaves you begsared or the
undertaken absorbs your estate. Those
are the effects and results which may
he confidently expected from indul
gence in water as a beverage. Such is
the prognosis. The suggested regimen
whereby ali this may be avoided is TO
drink beer or qUench thirst with some
of that "old copper distilled rye aged in
the wood and advertised in some
newspapers and magazines to be sent
six quarts in plain package, express
prepaid, for $3.50" No person has ap-
pendicitis who pursues the latter
course. He doesn't live long enough.
There is about the the same amount
OF delirium tremens and alcoholic hi
larity in grape juice as truth in the as
sertion that water is the active prin-
ciple Of appendicitis. There is always
q chemist able and willing to find alco-
hof in anything. If the price is right
eevn if he is obliged to put it there
himself. Expert" medical and surgical
testimony is obtainabie cut TO fit any
subject or purpose. And the liquor in
terests seem able always to find the
right men needed to make wrong
statement.
Don't worry over grape juice on ac-
count Of the Colorado chemist and the
mouth Of Mr.. Bartholdt. Neither will
it be advisable to use water only in the
foot bath and to boil beans in because

sweeping assertion that Schlitz and

many long years and has never had to
lean against the organ to keep the

in this section of Iowa. Here in this

DOPE F1ENDs IN WATERLOO.

ater!oo lin eS Tribune1
Why is it SO difficult to find out
where the youths OF Waterloo are
getting their "dope?" We know from
police records and from general obser-
walton that youths of Waterloo (and
some girls and women too,) have be-
come victims Of the drug habit. We
see ii in their e,fiaciated forms, in
their sallow complications. in their wild,
staring eyes. or in their dreamy con-
ditIon. We can just about tell when
they are riding on the edge OF the
moon. floating away In space: when
they are standing before the long
sought rainbow: when they are see
, ing thinss"-and the practiced eye
knows when they are without the drug
and are suffering the tortures OF hell
with devils all about them. We see
and know all this. but we can not find
out where they procure the dope"
Surely they maintain secrecy. They
are cunning. But to say we can not
find out where they procure the drug
is to admit that We have not tried
very hard. There are several places
in Waterloo where the poor victims
| hang out (they are to be pitied. rather
than censured) and II would not be a
movem ents. Let the victim be caught
when craving the drug and he will lead
one who wants information. to the
source of supply.

c.pi.ali.t. Debt to Salvation Army.


What the Salvation Army does for
the drunkard and the man out OF a JOB
is so evident that the capitalists debt
to these militant Christians is not SO
generally recognized. Commander
Evangeline Booth, of the Army. how.
ever, believes 1t is time for capitalists
particularly employers OF labor, to
recognize what the Salvationis1s are
doing for them. Because the Army SIS

cause OF this great contributive feature
to capitals interest. II for nothing
higher" she asserts in a recent issue
of The War Cry. 1.-THE capitalist should
support the movement" First OF all
she continues, "the Salvation Army
deals with the man who is a wastrel-
the man who is wasting and wasted"
Thousands Of such have already
been most effectually dealt with In
that their lives have been transformed
from the idle and .;npoverishing con-
sumption Of former days to healthy
production.
"whatever might be said in support
of the idea OF limiting production. II
is nevertheless an economic axiom that
waste is wrong. and this is specially SC
, in the realm Of manhood, and neces-
sarily the saving Of these men Is OF
great benefit to the community. Labor
Is taxed most heavily in order to sup
port those who had hitherto been do
ing nothing toward their own livlihood
Whether It be by means of q despi-
cable foraging or through the medium
OF the workhouse or some penal In
stitution, the fact is that vast crowd
OF non producers have been. and are
consuming much that the army OF
labor secures by its toll. The Saliva
ton Army deals with these. and deals
with them in such Q way that they are
no longer a burden to the community;
but. on the contrary, they rise TO carry
their share Of the community's burden

HOW THEY ADVERTISED BILLY

ICedar Rapids Republican,
If the reports are true that the sa-
loon keepers of Pittsburgh held a
mass meeting to organize to down
Biz Sunday before he entered that
city. then they are bigger fools than
we have discredited them with being.
The reports are probably true. but
they Nigh. have been gotten up by a
clever press agent for Sunday. Such
a meeting. with 1900 alleged TO have
been present would alone be enough
to make Sunday a big man in that
city and he would denolish it with his
rhetoric as the sun dissolves a snow
ball in June. The fear that Mr.. sun
day would hurt their business and
that they must fight him TO save them
selves was supre-nely silly. No liquor
man ought to regret it if any human
being is converted from a drinking
man to a sober man. Saloon keepers
nowadays are not supposed to be en-
courag :ng men to drink, but merely to
spend their moneys in such ways. A
saloon keeper who would deliberately
encourage men in the use Of liquors
would be a moral monstrosity. Even
stormy Jordan OF a by-gone period
in Iowa. was in the habit of telling all
his patrons that he hated to see them
use OF their money in such a way. but
if they would have it he would sell it
TO them.
