drink brings suit against the saloon
keeper who sold him the stuff-and
gets judgment.
In a single newspaper he finds a
recommendation from the SchuyIlxill
county grand jury-with not q
clergyman or a pronounced prohibi-
toin advocate on it-for a reduced
number of licenses, because the sa-
looms are responsible for most Of the
crime and much OF the burden OF
taxation, and a similar recommends
tion from the Luzerne county grand
jury. with this finding:
IL Is earnestly urged that no IN
crease In the number of saloons is
necessary, and a general policy
should be inaugurated to elimin-
ate the mere drinking places OF
the country. Such a course
means less crime, less degener-
acy, less delinquency, less pow
erty. From the standpoint of
public morals and public econ
omy. the policy would be justi-
fed.
He reads that in the three weeks
following the closing OF the saloons
In CoatsviIle there were only three
arrests; that the patrol wagon
horses have been sold to an lee
man, and that instead Of the ruin
Of business" predicted by the liquor
advocates the merchants unanimous
ly report greatly increased trade.
Morality and Economies.
He reads that In Kansas, where the
constitution declares that ''the man
ufacture and sale Of intoxicating
liquor shall be forever prohibited IN
this State" eighty-seEen Of the 1e5
counties have no insane and ninety
six no inebriateS; that thirty-eight
poorhouses are empty, and have been
for years; that recently dfty-three
empty county jails were enumerated:
that there are fewer than COO paupers
in the whole Commonwealth, end
that the death rate during the last
thirty years has fallen from II to z
per Loo.
All these things seem to corrobo-
rate our friends view, that the reyo-
luton now under way Is economic
rather than ethical, moral and re-
ligious. But the fact is that moral
ity and economics are one. In the
sense that nothing is morally right
which Is not economically sound. and
that morality Is really based upon
right economics. That which Is
wasteful Of physical, moral or spirit
ual strength violates not only the
law OF economies. but the laws OF
morality and religion as well
No great reform that We can re-
call was ever permanently estab-
hshed except through q union OF
ethical and economic principles.
which are, in essence, one and the
same. 1t Is this mighty coalition
which gives to the present movement
against the liquor traffic its tidal
wave force and will ultimately sweep
the evil from the observation-disclosures

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

How very little the world knows
about some very, y,respectable sections
Of itself is shown by the mystery
~urrounding the recent palace revo-
lution in Peru. Insurgency rose up
in the capital, took possession Ct the
palace, seized the reins of the gov
ernment and the person OF the Presi-
lent, deported the President, and
1ook over the control of affairs with
out apparent difficulty.
Just what it was all aSoI.t is not
even yet very clear. The depCsed
President Billinghurst is the son of
an Englishman; one of that great
group of English and American sons
Of fortune who went to the west
coast of South America during the
adventurous days Of the wars for in
dependence, and later, and who
STAYED to become citizens and great
figures in the countries. Tke-e l.
no more romantic story of the
american republics yet to be COM
Drehensively written, than this of the
part that Americans, Englishnen
and Irishmen took and have since
held in those countries.
Billinghurst has been deposed, arc
the new regime seems tc have les:
opposition in subverting the whole
Government than Huerta found IL
Mexico. Probably the example oi
Huerta was studied with interest anC
croft by the organizers Of the recent
Peruvian revolt. The whole affair
indicates how vast is the guE be
tween the less advanced Latin re
publics, and our own country. If We
we're the Peruvian or the i'3ey!"a al
lind Of folks, the troops at For
Myer, commanded by the right kirC
Of an adventurer, could duplicate th'
ecent performance of Peru - h,
earlier one of Mexico City. But t.
imagine such thing is quite to-
much strain.

An organization in the southern
portion Of the state, known as the
Fillmore County Taxpayers associa-
tion, has been putting legislative
candidates in that district on record
on various issues. The association
demands the repeal of the state high
way commission law, the repeal or
amendment of the Dunn road law,
the passage of tonnage tax law, the
defeat of the proposed county as
SCISSOR law, the repeal of the tax COM
mission law, etc. The members of
the association should devote some
time to a careful study Of the laws
which they condemn, and doubtless
they would change their views.
