Bv EARL N. FINDLEY.

ING BARLEYCORN appears to be
making last stand against the field
IN History may name this struggle as
the greatest in human annals, using
-. European war merely for background.
Prchibitionists may. if they choose sit back
ard smile
For years they have hired ham," presented
statistics. told sentimental stories and offered
graphic illustrations tending TO prove that alco-
bol was no good as a food and that its other
claims for attention were founded on error.
And what has happened3
Russia has gone dry. The revenue from the
sale of vodka reached S5Oo,oOO,ooo year, but
the Russian Chancellor stated recently that the
country was getting double that income by
wav OF increased efficiency OF the workmen
and farmers.
Soon after the war started President Poin-

LIQUORS TAX ON THE LABoRER AND
PRODUCER.

"It any town were 10 assess each lsborer
and producer in it per cent of his daily
earnings and income, and compel payment
every day, with nothing to show for this when
the days end came, there would be speedy
revolution. Yet liquor thus levies daily tax
upon the laborer and the producer, and TO
far greater extent, as rule.
Every saloon, every bar, taxes at least forty
workingmen on average more than per
cent of their earnings with absolutely nom
compromising equivalent"
DR.. Hopkins added that Mrs. M. ]. Anabie
of Brooklyn, vouched for the record of ono
woman. reared under saloon influences and
in the atmosphere of drink, and led down by
these, as he put it, to the lowest imnoralities
The woman died at ifty-one years of age.
Her descendants have been traced for sew
enty-ive years Crom 1927 to Ioo7) to tho
number of 800. of whom 100 have been GRIM
inals, convicted each at least once; s4s drunk
ards, acknowledged beyond question:; 1a7 i'm
moral women, and 81 murderers, executed for
their crimes.
And, according to Mrs Anable, through this
one woman and her descendants the saloon
ollO 10 al d4llCo tlCE ten
denotes have cost the producers of this ma
ton at least 100000.
I'VE have right to rejoice" said Dr. Hop
kins, that one effect of war is TO show men
the unwisdom of strong drink II is not many
months since the Kaiser told his people that
in the next war the navy that drank tho least
liquor would win.
Find the places in this country where
the workingmans highest standard Of living
prevails and you will not see an open saloon.
Close the saloon doors and other doors will
open. Multiply saloons and you decrease all
places Of legitimate trade.
81 do not recall, out of all the many test-
monies which have come before me concern
ing the effects of prohibition on banks and
manufacturers and trade, single town where
the burden OF business proof was against pro-
hibition doubt if such an instance can be
shown.
III it could be, anywhere, would not the
eremies Of prohibition have heralded that
town as q liquor object for the world"

FREMONT AND KIT CARSON.

Pen Pictures of the Pathfinder and the
 Famous Scout.
 In "Kit Carson Days." by Edward L. Sabn. We get this glimpS. of the personal appearance of Carson and Fremont when the two darin. spirits first met:
 "ln June. lS42. came the fateful meeting of the trapper scout. already known throughout the west, and the Pathfinder whose great fame was still to come.
 "The two men were oppositeS. Car. sen was Scotch Irish. gray blue eyed, sandy complexioned under his tan). Eight huired, rather fat featured, gritty. but so quiet and ordinary both in appearance and manner that few rot knowing his name would bestow upon him more than passing glance. Fremont was French. flashing blue eyes. olive white complexion. thick brown hair. features regular and oval. disposition sensitive. quick. eager and indomitable. Few would forget him.
 Fremont was scholar of both American and continental accomplish ments. At this time Carson could not read nor write even his own name. and his speech even in 1S66 was of pa tois wherein mingled Mexican. In dian and many frontier English thar 'fout.' 'massacreed.' pore. etc. But he spoke in more languages than did Fremont himself. not only being fluent in English. French. Spanish and several Indian tongues, all acquired orally. but also being we'll conversant with the sign language of red man and of trail"
 Of this meeting on the Missouri, out from St. Louis, came comradeship first and a friendship that never ceas ed. In California and in the Mexican struggle the stanchness of both men and their loyalty to the lag were well tested.

FEMININE BEAUTY.
Maturity Has a Charm Greater Than That of Sweet Sixteen"

That of "Sweet Sixteen"
 There is a beauty quite apart from youth-the beauty of the mature wo man. Some there are who maintain that beauty does not reach the zenith under the age of thirty-hve or forty In a measure this is borne out by the events of the antique past, which may likewise be parallel with instances of our own day.
 Helen of Troy appeared on the scene at the age of forty. Cleopatra was past thirty when she met Antony. Aspasia. married to Pericles when she was thir ty-six. was figure brilliant in her world for thirty years after. When Diane de Poitiers was past thirty six she won the heart of Henry H.. and he was but half her age.
 Anne of Austria was thirty eight when described as the most beautiful woman of Europe Mile. Mar was her aided as the greatest of beauties at forty five. and Mime. Recamier was at her best between the ages of thirty Ave and fifty. Mime. de Maintenon was forty three when united to Louis. and Catherine of Russia was thirty three when she took her seat on the throne which she occupied for thirty.Hve years
 All these women were world famed Dfor their beauty and gave the lie direct to that toothess old saw that buzzes the power of sweet sixteen" The dew of youth and complexion of roses. 1t must be admitted. sometimes combine in face that Is unmoving. irrespon sive. utterly lacking In the expression which goes to the making of perfect ly nodded visage.

NEW YORK. May ,5.-Moderate trad

There were gains of 1 to . points
