UNSEEN DANGER OF SOCIAL
GLASS

eINoo-
/ once asked a young man who has
a large circle of friends in the leading
society OF this city, and who is an alb
stainer, how often he was asked to
take wine, and was ''jollied" over the
refusal. He said several times q
week. and told me of some hostesses
who were guilty of rudeness. | wish
they could all hear the quiet tones
of the physician who told me Of
man he knew who died insane from
alcoholism. The several sons of this
man came to this physician to learn
their chance of escaping the disease.
He told them that If they kept abso-
lutely away from alcohol their chance
was good, but IL they took alcohol at
all he would not answer for them. All
but one OF these sons have kept away
from the drug, alcohol, but one while
at college felt strong in his power to
take It moderately" He has no
power now That youth might have
been the guest 'jollied" by charming
hostess. II these young women knew
the real nature OF alcohol they would
at least require n doctors certificate
based on knowledge OF the habits OF
their guest and on those of his ances-
tors before they urged the social
glass. Alice l.. Higgins, General

FIVE BILLION DOLLARS WASTED.

The total amount received from all
sources from the traffic, including
duties on imports, is less than $3.50
100000. Against this should be placed
the cost of public care for the conse-
Quences of the traffic; the loss in
earning capacity, and degenerate man
hood in public asylums, hospitals
prisons. and in prosecuting that
share OF crime justly chargeable to
the saloon-a total immeasurably
greater than any possible income from
license and taxation. Careful ana
conservative investigation. made by
expert statisticians, reveal the amaS
ing fact that the annual waste due TO
the drink traffic in the United States
at the present time approximate
more than $4,000, 100000 in loss OF
products, mortality and cost In crime

fled by Senate.

Paris, France-The text Of the
treaty between the United States and
Colombia settling the controversy
over Panama has been made public
here through the Colombian legation
by publication in the Temps The
treaty was signed at Eosota April Z
by United States Minister Thaddeus
4. Thomson and DR.. Francisco Jose
Urrutia, Colombian minister Of for
eign affairs and the members OF a
Colombian advisory committee.
The first article of the treaty, an
published in the Temps, says:
The government of the United
States, desiring to put an end to all
disputes and differences with the re-
public OF Colombia occasioned by
events which have brought about the
present situation in the Isthmus OF
Panama, in its name and in the name
Of the people OF the United States, ex-
presses sincere regret for anything
that may have interrupted or altered
the relations of cordial friendship ex-
listing long between the two nations.
Free Passage Of Warships.
Colombia, in her name and in the
name of the people of Colombia, &C.
cepts this declaration on the full as.
surance that in this way will disap'
pear all obstacles to the restoration
Of complete harmony between the two
countries"
The treaty provides that Colombia
shall enjoy freely and in perpetuity
free passage through the Panama ca
nal for her troops, stores and war
ships" and stipulates also that
six months after the exchange OF rati
ficstions OF the treaty the sum Of S25,
100000 shall be paid TO Colombia.
The article relating TO canal privi
leges also provides for commercial ad
vantages in favor of Colombian prod
ucts imported into the canal zone
and for special advantages in the rail
way traffic OF Panama when the cana
service is interrupted for any reason
and when It is needed for Colombian
! agents and troops and for war store
from Colombia.
Colombia recognizes Panama as AZ
Independent nation which shall ter

equi-distant between Cocalito and Al
dita," says the last article, which con
tinues: The United States under
takes to secure the sending by the gov
eminent of Panama of an agent to ne
gotiate with Colombia a treaty o
peace and friendship which shall in
clude an agreement regarding the pc
cuniary liability of the two countries.

Don't Want TO Apologize.

II will be hard work for the presi-
dent OF the United States to secure
the ratification of the proposed treaty
with Colombia. It is definitely known
that many OF the Democrats In the SEN
ate do not like the ides OF voting for
a treaty which admits virtually that
this country did wrong in taking the
means which II did to secure the build
ing OF the Panama canal. Colombia
was so evasive while Uncle Sam was
trying to induce her to give him the
canal strip that the general belief is
1t would have taken many years to
have secured permission TO build the
canal. Now the waterway is COM
pleted, and most OF the senators, It Is
said, recognize the fact that II Pana-
mas independence had not been rec
ognized we would have no canal to-
day.
The senate, of course, ratifies treat
les, the house having nothing to do
with them. The Republican senators
do not like the idea OF voting to apol-
ogize for something which was done
under Republican administration,
and there are some Democrats who
are averse to apologizing for any act
of the United States government
which seemingly has been approved
by the country. The result of this
feeling probably will be hard fight
in the senate, II any attempt is made
10 secure the ratification Of this Co
! lombian treaty,

democratic principle ever enunciated by
that party since its foundation, they
certainly can get into the market for
the aid OF the Treasury ana borrow
money sufficient to meet the demands
upon it."
However, the republicans refuse to be-
suggest that a little prudent skimping
and economizing might be better. Says
the report:

economy should be the watch
word of the administration. The busi-

of life; they indulge in no extrava-
gances. Carpet factories and clothing
manufactures have been closed very
largely during the past few months
because of the economy of the people.
Why should not the administration
redeem its solemn pledges made to
the people in 1912 and practice econ
omy in government expenditures? ?
They ought not to use all the money
that is appropriated. They can in
and without any further legislation
by Congress. OF course, the President
has the right to come to Congress
and ask for taxes. It would seem,
however, that he might have called his
cabinet together and impressed upon
every one of them the absolute ne
cessity of economy"

husbands spent his honeymoon, ex-
cept the last, who visits this hotel for
the first time one month after mar

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 4.-The assorted
company which presents itself at the
headquarters of the American resi-
dents relief committee resembles a
congress of nations. Negroes, Jap
anese, Chinese, Hindus and Arabs are
themselves citizens of the United
States and who are trying to get home.
The first rush Of applicants for aid
was made up chiefly of tourists. but
later began the stream of Americans
who had resided in Europe for some
time and were employed in the various
countries affected by the war: Many
negroes who had been engaged as
musicians and entertainers were in
stantiy thrown out of work and sought
the help of the American government.
Actors, circus performers, vaudevfllians
and all sorts of entertainers found
themselves in a similar plight.
Chief Lewis Deer of the Cheyenne In
dams and his company of braves, who
were delighting Austrian crowds with
their reproductions of Clusters last
stand, came to grief at Libach, where
the circus with which they were en-
gagged was forced to disband, and after
man and Austrian officials, who were
suspicious of the redmen, they finally
made their way to London with tales
Of hardships which rival the stories of
pioneer days in Wyoming. Only by put
ting on ali their feathers and warpaint
we're the Indians able to establish their
identity thoroughly and make their
way through the war .one. In ordi-
nary clothing they had nothing but
trouble, and merely progressed from
one jati or compound to another. But

and crowns Of turkey feathers stamped
them as real Americans and speeded
