The P,cturesouc Rousta bout.

Every Mississippi steamboat carries
its crew of tatter-de-malion stevedores,
paid by the month or week or day, as
long as they will work, at the rate OF
two to three dollars day ana found.
One quartermaster loads them, one
reads and checks the freight tags.
another sees the stuff properly slowed.
and a fourth sometimes stands at q
corner of the route to exhort tagging
members.
Under no circumstances viii a
niger roUster'' carry more than one
parcel at time, so you will see a
rickety little deckhand grunting up
the gang-plank under sewing ma
chine, a pump, or a big sack of -four.
while Just behind him steps burly
Jack Johnson with paper package
or half-doxen coath3 myers balanced
on his head. The whole procession
moves in continuous cake-walk,
most of the rousters keeping in the
same rhythm, with crouching,
shuffling step. and after ducklng from
under their loads go rolling back on
TO rsae levee with the same crouching
shuttle as those still carrying burdens.
They look more like gorillas than men,
but there lis about their movements the
curious, ugly grace Of the colored race.

In "The Voice of the Peolpe" de-
partment Of the Chicago Tribune
there appeared recently two letters
one from Tom M. Gilmore, presiien
of the national Model LicenSe League,
the other from j. l.. Higgins. secre-
tary of the Distiilers' and Jobbars'
Association. Mr.. Gilmore says among
other things:
prohibition has not stopped drink
ing. nor drinking to excess, in any
section. In the face OF prohibition's
territorial spread in this country the
per capita consumption has steadily
climbed"
Mr.. Higgins declares that "all the
prohibltory legislation passed in the
United States has not had the slight
est effect on the individual consump-
ton of liquors. The total per capita
consumption of distilled and fer
mented liquors has. in fact. in the last
five years, been slightly higher than
ever before"

Germany Testing the Monroe Doctrine

In July, 1914. Germany made a
proposition for customs control In
Haitai The note from the German
embassy pointed out That. even though
the American Government believes 1t
is unadvisa BILE to have interested Eu-
ropean powers participate in the con-
troll OF Haitian custmos, nevertheless
the Imperial Government must give
heed to public opinion in Germany.
The German note went so far as to
state that the simplest solution of the
difficulty would be to include Germany
and that Germany would not under
stand any other arrangement.
Emphatically the State Department
defined its position in regard to this
extraordinary German document. In
the most unequivocal terms II stated
that it's policy was not subject to any
variation: that neither foreign mer-
camille interests. nor any other inter-
ests proceeding from outside of the
American hemisphere could be so ex-
tended as even to constitute joint
control In whole or In part Of the
Government. or administration OF any
INDEPENDENT American State.-The

The Chinese, until a few Years ago
so apathetic regarding their govern
ment, were beginning TO take a pride
in it and 10 feel that they were being
led out of the old hopelessness and help
lessness into a new strength which
would prevent future encroachments
by foreign powers. Now the Japan
ese demands have revealed the weak
ness OF Peking and broken its pres
tige. IT has furnished the discredited
revolutionists with new arguments and
made easily possible revohs more Sc
rious than that which shook the foun-
dations of the government two years
ago.
The evil results do not end there,
for Japan has reopened the old game
of scrambling for concessions and
rights and special privileges. She has
upset the nicely adjusted balance of
power and established new spheres of
influence, setting an example of greed
as brazen az that which John Hay s
open door policy stopped fifteen years
ago.-Carl Crow in the Worlds Work.

Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the requi-

sive shells in sufficient quantities have
accomplished the best offensive work.
and the infantry is depending more
and more on n short, heavy knife,
which is the best for work under
ground or in the dark. To sum up:
Hing the defenders OF a position is
accomplished by shells fired at least
two miles away on the average; and.
secondly. by what the French call
body-to-body fighting, for which a
knife is the best weapon. The training
of infantry on the Continent will, in
the future, undoubtedly include the
technique of hand-to-hand struggles
for which physical agility and
strength must be developed. The

T. J. ID. Salter returned from a
visit to Willard last evening. When
seen today he IA brimful of the
good things and showings. He also
brought with him a piece of the rich
est ore taken out in the district. The
sample he has glitters and is livid
with coarse free gold and easily toes

1t is from the latest strike in
what is known as the Mayer-Healey-
Borland lease on the Enterprise
claim.
The Enterprise is southwesterly
about three-quarters of a mile from
the Sheepherder's Dream claim,
from which the leasers are taking
ore that is full of free gold, some
going as high as $40 a pound.
MI. Salter has quieted all con-
flicts on the four claims side lin
