A FITTING MONUMENT,

Recently the Christian young peo'
ple Of 81. Louis protested against the
erection Of monument In one OF the
city parks to the late Adolphus Busch,
brewer, their resolution setting forth
that "a monument to his memory
mems a monument to the liquor traf'
flc with which his whole life was lden'
tinod" Whereupon one OF the city
papers thus pertInontly commented
"Tho youngsters made u mistake
They should have helped erect the
monument, contributing literally to It.,
They easily could have found skele'
tons enough Of those who had been
atarved to death by the use of Adol.

Following interesting figures:
The per capita average liquor con-
sumption for the nation as a whole is
about 23 gallons. For Kansas it is
1863 gallons The total Kansas con-
sumption Of alcoholic beverages, esti-
mated on these three typical counties
Is 6,2396Ol,8l gallons per year, Had
the state used its due portion Of 23
gallons per capita, the total consump-
tion yearly would be 3S,S91 1927 gal
Ions.
On this basis of estimate Kansas
paid as her liquor bill $5803, ,666,04
This allows $4 per gallon for whisky
and so cents per gallon for beer, Had
the state paid its quota Of the liquor
trafliC's receipts, the bill would have
been $34,5O9929 instead of $5,303,-
