WHAT ABOUT SUFFRAGE?

They're going to knock out the
women's suffrage law" was the word
flashed around Chicago last night.
They means the judges of the State
Supreme Court, who have the fate of
the law in their hands.
It's up to the court to announce a
decision during this term of the court,
which ends June Is or 10.

they deliberately tortured men and
murdered prisoners in cold blood!
Then came Ludlow-the destruc-

The Human Body
Uses Up Many Times More
Energy Than Tissue

To be exact, normal person uses
up i've and one-half times as much
energy each day as he does tissue.
That waste must be supplied in the
same ratio, if perfect health is to be
maintained.
This can be done in but one way
by eating the right food. How many
people do you see going around with
out energy or ambition-the result OF
improper eating.
In order to preserve health, and
stimulate energy, your food must con-
tain protein, fat and carbo- -hydrates.
Protein builds brain, bone and flesh.
Fat and carbohydrates supply heat
and energy.
Oatmeal, when properly prepared,
leads all foods in its combined rich
ness of protein, fat and carbo-hy-
drates, consequently it is a perfectly
balanced" food
But all Oatmeal is not alike. H-O
is the one PERFECT OATMEAL
the chly Oatmeal that is cooked be-
fore it leaves the mill-the only
steam-cOoked Oatmeal on the market.
YOU cook H-0 Oatmeal only 20
minutes in the morning-serve it pip
ing hot, with sugar and cream. Comes
nearest TO supplying the "five and
Cne-haf to one" ratio referred to
above. For sale by good grocers

The Citizens Non-P Partisan League
Of Los Angeles for California Dry
has issued the following official state
ment, which is to appear in the No
vember edition of Out West:
The opponents of statewide prohi-
bition are industriously circulating the
report that if California goes dry
there will be confiscated S150,000,009
worth of property.
In the sum named is enormously
and unfairly included the value of all
the grape acreage, including that
which is devoted to the growing of
table and raisin grapes. AS mat
ter of fact this land should not be
included, for, if prohibition carries,
the land still will be in existence and
most of it will be of greater value
for other crops which pay profit.
The United States census of 1910
reports the amount invested in the
manufacture of various vinous liquors
at S2O,1SS,S55 and distilled by ST.
476,095. A large percentage of these
wineries and crushing plants could
doubtless be used in the manufacture
of grape juice (for which, experts
say, large market awaits develop
ment). But, admitting large loss
of the wineries themselves, the claim
Of S150,000,000 loss shrinks to less
than S23, 100000. This is a fair ex-
ample of the exaggerated and inflat-
ed statements being put forth by
those who desire the liquor traffic
to continue.
From the same source comes much
sobbing about the profits the poor
grower of wine grapes will be robbed
of, and yet the experts at the Fruit
Growers Convention, held in Fresno
in 1912, advised growers of wine
grapes to dig up their vines and plant
ether crops. Again, F. T. Bioletti,
professor of viticulture at the State
University at Berkeley, says of the
small vineyardist: ..-
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-10
California Dry and
The Wine Industry

"He would be better off financial
ly if he gave his vineyard away and
worked for the man he gave it to-"
The following statement was made
by Frank T. SWEET at the forty-see-
end convention of grape growers at
Fresno in 1912:
"The actual cost of growing wine
grapes in the interior on average land,
including interest on the investment
and taxes, is probably not less than
Sf2 ton. At Sc ton, the prevalent
price this season, there is a heavy
loss. At the present time it is said
that contracts are offered to vine
yardists at so a ton for ten years.
While it is unwise to give anyone spe-
cific business advice, the grower, be-
fore coming to decision, should re-
member that owing to constant in
creaseS in taxation, to increasing de-
mands on the part of laborers, to
the cost of employers accident liza
bility and to the increased cost of
living, that there may be no real
profit in growing grapes at so a
ton, but loss. He should also dis
tinguish between real contracts and
alleged cont acts, which are merely
options, voidable at the buyers pleas
ure. In any event he should hold
himself free to dig out his vineyard
and substitute some crop that will
net real profit, if he decides to do
so. If his vineyard bears only aver
age crops, he may do better to grad
ually reduce his vineyard acreage and
work into alfalfa and other lines CT
production
From the Viticultural Commission
report of 1914 it is learned that table
grapes pay about four times as much
as wine grapes. Here are the fig
ures: 10000 acres wine grapes paid
growers, s6,O0O,0O0; $4,000 acres ta-
ble grapes paid growers S6,994, $50.
From these figures it will be seen
that the wine grape average yields the
growers an average of $35 an acre.
On the other hand, Bioletti, the one
authority recognized and undisputed
by the Vets, declares that the cost
of growing grapes in Coast vineyards
averages sos an acre and in Valley
vineyards $65 an acre, meaning ar
average loss of from S25 to $50 an
acre. One reason that this loss is
not mere poignantly felt by the grow
ers, according to Bioletti, is that the
loss is comprised of sacrificed inter
est on the investment or is compen-
sated by profit from other crops or
by increased value of lands.
1t is clearly evident from the above
cited data that there are no profits
in growing wine grapes and that if
prohibition forced the grower to sub
stitute other crops it would be doing
him kindness.
The Labor Question.
Another grossly exaggerated claim
that is being sent forth is that state
wide prohibition will throw out of
employment $4,000 persons now en-
gagged in the viticultural industry.
Watch this grand total CD shrink as
the light of the United States cen
sus report shines upon it. According
to this report there were in Califor-
mia in 1909 264 persons engaged in
the manufacture of distilled liquors
and 1851 in winery liquors.

BRITISH COMMANDERS
MILITARY RECORD

LONDON, Aug. 28.-Sir John French,
inspector general of the army, was one
of the few officers whose reputation
did not find an untimely grave in the
South African war. 1t was the cradle
of his.
Before then he had distinguished
himself as an astute and gallant leader
of cavalry in the Sudan. He was one
of the luckless officers at the head of
d mere handful of troops who endeav-
ored to rescue General Gordon.
He fought the two opening engage
ments of the South African war in
Natal. He left Ladysmith in the last
train before the siege (having realized
the uselessness of cavalry for the
coming siege)
He then took glorious part in
the relief of Kimberley and in the sub
sequent operations against Cronje. He,
too, was the general who cleared up the
war after Lord Roberts departure
1t has been said of him that lin
| character he is man of cold persist

In the southwest corner of the city
police assembly room is a veritable
Sargasso Sea, a port of missing BIZ
cycles. 1t is as though some mysteri-
Gus current brought wheel or two to
the deadly center there to remain until
some man or woman, boy or girl,
mourning the loss of a wheel, appears
at the police station, gaZes into the
maze of wheels and handle bars, points
out one that looks like the one they
have cherished in the past and pro-
duced an identifying number that Sc
cures the release of the long lost ma
chine
For many days this gathering of
derelicts has been forming. Previously
a stray wheel was consigned to the
basement there to remain for ninety
days or more and then to be disposed
of from the police auction block. But
Chief of Police Brisbois has hit upon
the idea of keeping the picked up
wheels above ground for several days
thereby affording better oportunity for
the owners to identify their missing
property.
Just now there are more than
twenty wheels in pretty good shape,
some Of them practically new, that
have been picked up and are awaiting
the appearance of owners. Chief Bris-
bOiS announces that there will be a
sale in the near future and he advises
any persons having lost wheels to call
at the station and give the number to
the clerk in charge on a chance that
| the missing wheel may be safe and
sound in the custody of the police.

AMOS Today a more modern struc-
ture for the marketing of pianos,
PLAYERS. victroas and musical mer-
chandise cannot be found on the
western coast.
Among the improvements made in
tie last year, those in the rebuilding
and repair department are probably
the most prominent. Work that
heretofore had to be done at the
factory is now accomplished in the
shops located in the rear of the
Redewll building, and no job is too
large or too difficult for the skilled
>workmen in charge.
One of the features is pianos re-
ceived lin the white" direct from
the factories, ready to be finished to
match the wood of any home in
terror. This saves much time in
supplying players and pianos to
weeks was required to get special
finished from the east while now the
instrument can be supplied by the
kedewill firm in two or three days.
The most noticeable feature of the
Redewill Music Co.'S store is the
beautifully arranged stock which
meets the eye directly upon entering.
A row of the daintiest grand pianos
are in the foreground, known as the
smallest baby grand in the world =
and they look the part. These are
to be the coming modern home piano.
ana the great success the makers
tBrambach & Coz have had in the
production of tone in these pianos
has earned for them their deserved
financial success. Nearly everyone
knows that the upright piano is an
imperfect instrument, and the action
| and tone is in no way to be COM
pared to a successful grand. The
Brambach baby grand takes up less
floor space than any other grand
| piano and the features of construc-
ton give them more tone than MANY
srands twice their size.

WAR BY THE GERMANS
ART COLLECTING TOUR
They are After Brussels Collection of
Ruben's Sacred Subjects

Phoenix lady who has lived abroad
for some years, regards the war in part
as German art collecting tour. She
was speaking of the levy of $4,000, 900
made by the Germans on the city of
Brussels and in default of which, they
were threatening to take the pictures
for which the art galleries of Brussels
are famous. All the great sacred sub
Jects OF Rubens are there, except the
mural paintings by that great Flemish
artist in London and other parts of
Europe. The German art galleries
have great collections of Rubens but
they have none of the famous religious
pictures such as the Descent from the
Cross The Germans" she said "are
daffy over Rubens and they mean to
have those pictures. | do not think the
payment of the s40,0O0,OOO levy would
save them. They themselves are
worth probably s4O,OO0OOO"
1t does not look now as if anv con-
siderable part of the levy would be met
for according to the dispatches of Sat
urday, only 100000 had been sub
scribed.
Thus, the Germans seem to be ming
ling pleasure with business. And they
are evidently running the war at a
minimum of expense to themselves.
They are living off of the country of
the enemy. Belgium, and now, France
and are levying sums to meet contin-
gent expenses. They are probably fur
nishing their own soup cartridges"
arms and a munition, except such as
they may from time to time take of
the enemy.

SALOONS HURT CITY

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. l.
this city was dry and prosperous.
On the latter date, the city chang
ed back to wet by vote of the peo-
pie at an election held in April.
The city council, however, did not
license any saloons, but they did
license drug stores and hotels and
these have proven to be as bad or
worse than the saloons
Under this liquor regime, things
have gone to the bad again and the
people are finding out that drug
store whiskey and hotel whiskey
make a aman drunk just the same
as saloon whiskey.
Here are few matters of record
for Springs people to think over as
the result of returning to the whis-
key policy:
1. Criminality has increased. Dur
ing the eight months preceding May
1, 1911. there We're $50 arrests made
here During the first eight months
under licensed drug stores and no.
tells, we had 1895 arrests, an increase
of 1913 or about So per cent increase.
Yet the Colorado Business Mems
Home Rule League says prohibition
increases crime.
2. Vagrancy and pauperism have
increased under license here. During
1910, while the city was dry, the
number of free beds furnished was
SOC. During 1911, with four months
dry and eight months of license, S54
were required for poor men. During
1910 the city furnished 1909 free
meals In 1911. wet, it furnished 4155
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1914-08-31

meals, Yet they say prohibition
causes poverty! During 1910 there
were 1913 arrests for vagrancy. Dur
ing 1911, with only eight months of
legalized liquor selling in Colorado
Springs. it rose % 252, an increase of
fifty-four Migrants.
g. Burglary has more than dou :
bled under license laws During 1910
there was reported to the police de-
(mostIy stolen by pickpockets or
burglars) to the amount of $3.50
During 1911 it totals s20,050.
4. Murders have increased. There
were no murders here in 1910. There
We're eight murders in 1911.
5. 1t required over 10 per cent
more charity here under wet than
under dry laws. The total amount
raised and used by our Associated
Charities for December, 1910, jan
uary and February, 1911, under dry
laws, was 1902 For the same three
months last winter under license the
sum needed was 1924 What caused
it?
6. General prosperity has decreas
ed. The city engineers report for
1910 shows building permits to the
amount of $9S2O00 For 1911 it is
less than $4,000. Why this sudden
/ drop of $445,000?
T. The tourist traffic has not been
increased. Colorado Springs had
only one month of normal tourist
traffic this year-August. Boulder
dry town and more difficult to
reach, had all former records broken
for registered tourists this year fol-
June, July and August.

The very important issue Of state
wide prohibition has been raised. A
campaign in favor of constitutional
amendment will be shortly instituted.
This, like all other important Dues
tons has two sides, on each Of which
are found honest and intelligent per-
sons.
The Republican has decided to pro-
vide for a reasonable discussion Of
this issue in its pages, allowing to
each side at least half column daily
for signed articles. for which there will
be no charge. No anonymous article
will be published.
1t is only stipulated that the COM

ton be just and fair and that in no
case shall there be any wild and ex-
travagant statement that will in any
way reflect upon the reputation o.
Phoenix for good order.
It is suggested by The Republican
that either side, desiring to avail it
self of this offer Of space. name a
committee through which all matter
relating to the issue shall be trans
mitted. In such case, all communica-
lions received at this office from
other sources will be rejected. We
believe that this arrangement is ne
cessary to keep the discussion within
reasonable lines.
No paid advertisements from either
side will be accepted.
