HOW IT WORKS IN RUSSIA.

A war measure freed the slaves IN
the United States. A war measure has
done the same thing for the Russian
people in freeing them from slavery
which made the common class in the
country practically slaves
When the Russian government went
dry and the sale of intoxicants was
permitted vast government monopoly
went out Of existence. The scenes in
Russia were similar to those on tho
day before the closing of saloons in an
American city. Men bought all they
could, pawned all they had to buy
more. No doubt the same predictions
OF disaster We're made all over Russia
as are made when an Iowa town goes
dry
What happened? The Associated
Press relates that the change in Rus
sia is marked from end TO end of the
empire. The peasants are different
people They are better dressed, live
better. have more. feel and act like
independent human beings. They have
become men. The reform shows IN
their countenances as in their actions
and manner of living. a great reform
has taken place.
The Russian maujik is dull, ignor-
ant and brutal. II abolition Of drink
ing places can make a man of him in
matter of weeks the wisdom OF the
ukase lacks no further proof. Prohi-
bition of boozing kens does in Russia
what ii does in intelligent America. 1t
shows in the countenances the clothes,
the coal bins and the spirit of men.
The same results follow everywhere.
Abolition of liquor is establishment of
order and opportunity.
1t is a longer step toward liberty in
Russia than the constitution and the

two phases of the war, those who COM

ships OF children come trooptng out
to him once every year. 1t Is his way
of celebrating his birthday, and he tries
to make that one day the biggest, most
glorious day in the year for the largest
number Of children that can possibly be
enticed and persuaded to help him cele-
brate It. Doubtless II he could think OF
any better way of commemorating the
number OF years young that he has
grown than this OF making thousands
OF children happy for a day. he would
try It; but so far both he and the chill
dren have been completely satisfied.
This year was an off year. but even so
he did the best he could. The Spring
field Republican says OF him:
B. P. Waggener, Of Atchison, Kan.
whose birthday picnics for the children
OF his city and county and neighborin9
counties have achieved national fame.
Is in poor health. and SO this year all
he was permitted to do was to hire all
the picture shows in town. to which
children under 1e years Of age were adj
mitted free. There is ardent hope
among the youth of his part of the
state that Mr.. waggener may get back
his health and live forever. 1t was ff-
teen years ago that he invited the chill
dren OF his neignborhood to help OBJ
serve his birthday. The next year the
picnic was much larger: the third year
the children of the entire city were en-
tertained; the fourth year the children
Of the county were invited and brought
to Atchison in special trains. Then the
annual affair was extended until the
children OF four counties were brought
to Atchison, and not child was ever
injured during the passage on the free
trains. Last year Mr.. Waggensr en-
tertained fully 10000 children. There
is lots Of satisfaction In thus making
one's birthday matter of high mo-
.nent to SO many.

AH Sort, Of Opiniens
Fighting Alcohol in Europe.

One Of the outstanding results OF the
war already attained is the retirement
of a nation from the liquor business.
Russia has issued an edict prohibiting
the sale of vodka during the war, and
the car has ordered his finance minis
ter to devise some other means OF rev.
enue to substitute for that formerly ac-
cruing from the governments sale OF
this beverage. Nearly one-third of the
empires revenue IL thus cut off, and its
substitution must be effected at Pc
culiarly difficult time. Tho Russia Is
furnishing the most notable adherent
to the ranks Of the enemies OF alcohol,
the other nations are not entirely be-
midland. France has prohibited the
sale Of absinthe. the German emperor
has pronounced against beer drinking,
and Lord Kitchener in sending forth
his first troops, told them to abstain
from drinking while on the continent.
In this conflict" says the North
American (Philadelphia), each par
ticipant recognizes the supreme need
for calling to its aid the vital factors
that make for success, and these only"
and one OF the first steps was move
againt alcohol. This Journal adds:
I'm the estimation Of the guiding
minds Of these four first class powers. It
was as necessary to deal with the ques-
ton of alcohol-even in malt combina-
tions-as to consider guns, ammuni-
ton, supplies, and transportation. Com
menting editorially on this feature Of
the great war. the Journal of the
American Medical Association says:
".Field Marshal Earl kitchener is
reported to have counseled the English
soldiers to abstain from drinking while
abroad, reminding them that their duty
| can not be done unless health is pre-
served. The men were cautioned to
| keep constantly on guard against ex-
cesses.
1.-The German emperor is said to
have forbidden the treating" of the
soldiers in his armies.
1.-The sale Of absinthe, imported by
French soldiers in an earlier war. when
alcohol was used to fight fever, has
been restricted in Paris.
"It is of slight consequence wheth-
er or not these rumors are entirely
correct. They represent the current ten
denotes, which are undesirable by any
one who has watched the recent decis-
ions OF American naval authorities in
the face Of adverse criticism couched
lin the usual phrases concerning per-
1 sonal liberty.
/ 1.-The truth is that the relation OF
1 alcohol and fighting has been squarely
met and the fact admitted that they
are not compatible"
