NATION MUST BE PRESERVED.

NATION MUST BE PRESERVED.
 From nowhere and from no one in the assembled statesmanship of the nation is there any hint of from what sources the tremendous annual federal income of $250,O0000 now derived from imported or domestic liquors is to be replaced, wais MT. Joseph De- bar secretary of the National Whole sale Liquor Dealers association
 We respectfully call his attention to the address made by Senator Morris sheppard before the subcommittee Of the committee on the judiciary He says:
 There are legitimate sources Of revenue yet untouched There are few direct taxes on luXuries. The in come tax has little more than scratched the surface of enormous wealth. There is no federal inheri- tance tax Non-alcoholic beverages are untaXed The national domain with measureless mineral resources, water powers, forests and the like could be managed so as to produce a yearly usufruct of fifty or one hundred millions. The pension roll gives prom ise of rapid decline"
 The cruX of the argument for the abolition of the liquor traffic, however lies in the senator's further statement that the American republic cannot en- dure If the liquor traffic continues to absorb the earnings and the energies of the people-to threaten their moral and material welfare"
 The preservation of the republic through a higher standard of citizen ship is the end and aim of all tenn perance legislation

Big Engineering Schemes.

An elevated railroad from New
York to Chicago, high enough to be
level regardless of topography, and
submarine tube railway along the
pleasant scenery of the ocean bed be-
tween America and Europe, are
among projects which have had their
day of publicity. The Maritime as
sociation of the Port of New York,
an entirely serious body, recently had
discussed before it a plan to annex
Manhattan to Long Island by filling
in the East River from He'll Gate to
the Battery, the creating of trunk
line sewer to disposal terminal
miles at sea, Jersey and Staten Island
having tributary lines; the building
of a cape from the lower end of New
York almost to Staten Island, and
connecting that island hill with the
city by tunnels. The idea has been
desirable and practical, inclusive
of the expenditure of $780, 900
a year to bring it to pass. DR.. T.
Kannard Thompson is sponsor for
the scheme.-Christian Herald.

SAVES LIFE BY MARRIAGE.
Man Whose Goodness Caused Girls
Collapse, Weds Her.

Miss Mildred C. Vooheis and Earl
c.. Schaffer were married by the Rev.
J. B. Sweet to-day in the belief that
the young woman's marriage was the
only sure way of restoring her mental
balance and saving her life. She has
been at the point of death since two
weeks ago, when Mr.. Schaffer inform
ed her of his intention to break their
engagement.
The young woman, who was proml-
nent in religious and social work, be-
came unconscious at that time, and
when she was aroused was delirious,
calling constantly for her fiance. AS
a result the doctors insisted that Mr..
Shaffer sit constantly by her bed
side in the hope that if she regained
consciousness, his presence would re-
store her mind. She became con-
scious about a week ago, and the
sight of Schaffer seemed to restore
her mind. The physicians then an
nounced that the only certain means
of keeping her from collapsing again
was for him to keep his promise to
marry her. This he did to-day

Youthful Ingenuity.

One afternoon very stout woman
was rambling along country road
when she suddenly noticed a little
boy walking closely beside her. Not
knowing the youngster, she was
naturally somewhat surprised.

along like that? Go away from me
instantly
"I amt doin' nothin', lady," plead
ed the little fellow. "Please don't
send me away"
"You must go away at once," re-
peated the perplexed woman. "Why

Whiskey Makes Poor Farmer.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside contributor, writing under
the title, "Booze and Business tells;
as follows, how whiskey makes poor
farmers:
about forty miles from me is a
great nursery. Some five or six years
ago their barn burned with % horses
in it. The night watchman was drunk
and asleep in his room in the barn.
He alone was saved by the heroic fire
men when they arrived. Not a hair
of a horse or a strap of harness
was saved. The barn with all it's con-
tents, except the drunken night
watchman, was lost in flames and in
smoke.
"The 18th of last November the
barn was burned again. Some one
returning home about midnight no
ticed the nursery barn on fire quar-
ter of mile away. They turned in
the alarm, and the local fire COM
pany rushed there with their equip
ment. And again they found the same
old watchman drunk in his room in
the barn; so drunk he had not heard
the struggles of four horses as they
broke loose from their stalls opposite
his room. The firemen saved the
watchman; everything else was lost,
not a hair or halter was saved. This
time 80 horses were burned; four
broke loose but never left the barn;
the other 26 died with scarcely a
struggle, evidently overcome by the
smoke before the fire reached them.
Booze and business. will not mix.
A man who gets drunk should never
be given responsibility which involves
the life and safety of human beings
or dumb animals. 1t is almost crimi-
nal to give him such responsibility. -

END DISCUSSED.
Democratic Leaders Talk of Adjourn
m6nt.

Washington, June ia proposal
that congress should adjourn in July
as soon as the appropriation bills are
disposed of in both houses was talk
ed over by Democratic leaders in con-
gress to-day but without result. Ma
iority Leader Underwood pointed out
to Democratic senators and some OF
his colleagues in the house that the
best thing to do would be to clear up
the supply measures and then to ad-
1ourn with the understanding that
the president canvoke an extra ses-
sion in November.
The senators are not disposed to
agree to this course. They contend
that congress should stay in Wash
ington until antitrust legislation is
cleared up. ......
It was reported that Majority Lead
ar Underwood and others would con-
fer at the White House Monday re-
garding adjournment plans but as
there is no assurance Of agreement
between senate and house leaders as
to an early adjournment the confer
ence will not materialize. If there
should be a change of sentiment in
the senate the matter may be consld-
cred later at a conference between
President Wilson and party chiefs.

BY Its Fruits.

in Wisconsin and left the train at a
certain station to change cars. AS
the young man alighted, young fel-
low six feet tall and of powerful build
came slouching up to them and beg
ged a nickel, saying he wanted to
buy food, His breath carried the
odor of liquor and he had the ap-
pearance of one who had been drink
ing rather heavily. He solicited
funds from the entire crowd. The
depot was less than half a block
away, and before the boys arrived at
the waiting room they had been ask
ed for leafs" by second fellow. A
little later on one of the boys engaged
in conversation with a man whose
business took him through the town
twice a week. The subject came
around to the beggars and the trav-
cling man smilingly commented,
"Welf, it isn't to be wondered at that
the first greeting man gets in this
town is from some beggar. There
are twenty-five saloons here"
1t is not at all strange that COM
mercial clubs and similar organiza-
tions advertise the absence of saloons
but never their presence. 1t is just
such incidents as that related above
that put the saloon on the defensive.
It is on trial for it's life just now.
The incriminating evidence is coming
in like veritable stream. The charge
against it is murder-the murder of
boys and girls; men, women and chill
dren; hopes, ambition, prospects. As
some one has said, "The saloon is
the only business that is ashamed of
it's best patrons" Beggars at rail-
way stations are neither very good
advocates for the saloon nor for the
good business sense of the COM
munity.
The drinkers of liquor are to be
pitied. They crave it. In many cases
it is born in their blood! Many of
them were born drunkards in embryo.
The fire was in their baby-blood, and
naturally famed in manhood's hours.
Their suffering is one Of the great
reasons for destroying the dragon.
And deep down behind it all is the
devil. When Christ rose from the
dead the devil knew that he could
no more tempt the conqueror of
death. The Nazarene was then Chris
tus Victor. So the devil turned upon
the sons and daughters of men to de-
stroy them in order to defeat, as
largely as possible, the progress and
triumph of the kingdom Of Christ.
Hence, he selected the power of alco-
hol because with it he could debauch
men, body and soul, and send that
debauch down through their blood
into the blood of the unborn, thus
increasing degeneracy in arithmetical
progression. All the finished pro-
ducts of the liquor traffic look like
the works of a mighty demon. The
products of the dragon justify us in
trying to destroy the dragon.-W. l..
Pickard.

HE HAD AN EASIER METHOD.
Tramp Objects to Use of Hoe for
Cleaning Out Cutters.

Mrs Brown stood in the doorway
of her suburban home and eyed the
tramp critically.
The tramp extended his hands ex-
pansively as though work was the
one thing in life he hankered after
and his apparent sincerity overcame
Mrs. Browns last scruple.
She retired into the house and
presently returned carrying large
plate of food and a businesslike-look-
ing hoe.
When the tramp had eaten the food
she handed him the hoe, and, point
ing toward the garden path, remark
ed:
"Now, 1 want you to clean out that
gutter. You see it's filed with mud" I"
The tramp glanced at the gutter,
then at the hoe.

"Never use hoe?" Then, what
do you use? A shovel"
"No," said the tramp, as he NOV
