FOURTEEN TO ONE.

"A man bought a hog for 81 so, and
fed it $40 worth of corn, and then
sold the hog for s12. He lost money
on the corn, but made s10.50 on the
hog" This story, quoted from Mark
Twain, illustrates the financial re-
suits Of the license system. 1t costs
thousands of dollars every year to
take care of the criminals, paupers
and detectives made by the liquor
traffic. Take it the country over
every one dollar received as revenue
from the saloon entails cost of s14.
What fools these voting taxpayers be.

MOVING ON

Forty years ago the temperance re
form was travelling at the pace Of a
prairie schooner along a western trail
Today its electric speed is the des-
pair of the liquor dealer and foretells
the early downfall of his trade"
These words from the address OF
Miss Anna A. Gordon, president OF
the National W. C. T. U. at Chautau-
qua, N. Y, pictures graphically the
then and the now of public sentiment
on the liquor question. And speaking
of the prospect for nationwide prohi-
bition in the near future, she said;
National Constitutional Prohibi-
ton is a Safety First measure and
should command the earnest, active,
untiring support of every Christian
and every patriot. 1t is Safety First
for thousands Of suffering women and
children; it is Safety First for the
rising generations of boys and girls,
our citizens of tomorrow who are en-
titled to this protection along life's
treacherous highway; it is Safety
First measure made absolutely nee
essary by the complex condition of
the electric age in which we live, an
age which must eliminate alcoholic
poison if it would preserve individual
and national life National Constitu-
tional Prohibition is an efficiency
measure which must prevail in our
great republic if we are to maintain
our proud position among the nations
of the world

U. s. ALMOST INDEPENDENT.

Probably no other nation in the
world so nearly approaches absolute
independence In respect to mineral re
sources as the United States.
A glance at the statistics of miner
al imports afford a means of compre-
hending in broad way how great
and complex is the task of attaining
national independence in the mining,
metallurgical, and chemical industries
Last year the imports of mineral prod
ucts, both crude and manufactured ex
ceeded $270.0o0,000. OF this total
probably 100000, 900 represents raw
materials and crude metals, the value
OF these imports being about 8 per
Cent OF that Of the domestic output.
In this list Of imports the larger item
named in the order Of value are un-
manufactured copper, precious stones,
nitrate Of soda, copper ore and matte,
nickel. tin, iron ore, pig iron and ste
el. petroleum products, manganese
ores and alloys, platinum, aluminium,
pyrite, graphite, stone, potash, and
masnesite This country has an abund
ant supply Of most Of these mineral
products that are now imported In
large amounts, and as to them 1t can
be Independent Of foreign countries
rhe only essential minerals Of thei
irst yAnk Of which the United States
- no known supply at all common
Ne With its needs are nitrates. pot
salts. tin. nickel, and platinum, (

pra1 fertilizers and three very {
llaj metals.

LEARNING 4 LANGUAGE.
It Is an Easier Task tho Younger Il !,
Taken In Hand.

The time to learn a language is when
you are young, the younger the bet
ter. We learn u own language as
children. The older we grow the hard
er it is, because it means not merely
learning by heart a great many words,
not merely training the. palate and
tongue to produce different sounds, but
adopting a new attitude Of mind.
Nothing definite has been discovered
as to the l%ocalization Of faculties in
the brain. therefore nothing certain is
known. but it has always seemed to
me and to others whom l have con,
suited that when you learn a new Ian.
guage you are exercising and develop
ing a new piece OF brain.
When you know several languages
and change from one to another you
seem definitely to change the piece
of brain which actuates your tongue.
You switch off one center and switch
on to another.
You will always notice in yourself
and others that there Is a definite
pause when the change Of language is
made. Now it becomes every year
more difficult to awaken m unused
part Of the brain and bring 1t into &c.
tive use. and to begin at twenty.three

New York World: The woman suf-
frage movement in this country has
developed only one vagary, and that
is the idea that the end sought should
be gained by an amendment to h ma
tional constitution. =
President Wilson's remarks to the
women who addressed him on this
point were surcharged with democracy;
but of even more Importance than that.
they were inspired by true friendliness
for the cause itself. Suffrage is a state
issue. We have ignored that fact only
once in our history, with results that
are everywhere recognized is deplor-
able.
TIC amend the constitution it Is nee
essary to gain the assent of three
fourths OF the states. Thirteen mega
3tives will defeat the project. There
are at least ten states in which the
fatal color question is still paramount.
There are not less than ten other states
principally in the middle west and east,
in which the natural conservatism of
the people makes the issue at present
hopeless.
If the s~uffragists p~ersevere in their
local campaigns, they may eventually
control three-fourths of the states,
when national success will be newt
able. Time and energy expended upon
agitation in favor of a constitutional
amendment are therefore worse than
wasted.
