.NEW YORK BANKERS

FOR AMERICA ONLY
 NEW YORK 4 letter that has been sent to the staats-zeitung by the banking firm of J. 6 W. Seligman & Company reads
 We repeat for your benefit what we thought we had made abundantly clear in our statement to the press on Sept 20-nameiy. that we are not Germans, nor yet German-Americans, but that we are unQualidedly Ameri- cans
 While not readers of the Staats- zeitung. we are under the impression that there was no mourning border in the middle Of your front page when American children and American wo- men entitled to the sympathy and protection of every true American were, together with their fathers, hus- bands and brothers. deliberately and heartlessly murdered by the sinking of the Lusitania.
 That black mourning border you seem to have reserved for American bankers seeking to render a disin- terested service to their country by helping e keep its industries going through credits to its foreign custo- mers.

PIONEER HORSE OF
 ALASKA COMES OUT

---
 SEATTLE. Oct. 2l.-Frank Manley, one of the big mining operators in the Idiiarod. took @ horse into tho country twelve years ago. The horse was a faithful animal and never has shirked. but did his part with the fellows and even put little extra strength into the collar when 1t had seemed necessary. Yesterday this pioneer Alaskan horse arrived on the Victoria and was met on the pier by Mir. Manley, who saw that he was es- corted safely to stable, where after he recovers from the effects of the rough sen voyage, he will be taken to farm to rest and kick up his heels in lmee-high grass for the balance of his days. It was a hard trip for the veteran. who is now in his eight eenth year, and he was SO weak that he was hardly able to reach the gta- ble. However Mr. Manley expects that his former equine servant will soon be strong enough to enjoy lie and leisure and plenty of grass and good sweet water-( Seattle PostIn- telligencer.)

Is the United States Going Dry?

The oft-repeated assertion of the saloon interests
of country that prohibition does not prohibit
that as much whisky is sold in ant-saoon territory
as when saloons running wide open,' etc, has
been given death blow in the recent figures given
out by the Treasury Department at Washington
Internal collections on spirits are de-
creasing at the rate of approximately $1,25oooo
month, despite the fact that wines are paying high
tax result of the emergency war tax law en-
acted by the last Congress.
The report show that during the past ten months
from July I, 1914 to May l. 1915, there has been
decrease of $137136oo in the revenues derived from
spirits in the United States.
These statistics declare in trumpet tones that the
effort of the and women to sweep from our
country its greatest curse are bearing fruits-and

President Lincoln and Major Merwin
A Bit of History

One OF the remarkable things about the present
antquor controversy is the persstency of the vets
in disappearing Lncolns attitude toward Prohi-
bton. Some time ago attributed to Lincoln the
following statement:
Good citizenship demands and requires that what is right
should not only be made known but be made prevalent
that what evil should only be detected and defeated
destroyed The saloon has proved itself be the
foe the blghtng curse of modern civilization
and this is the why practical Prohb1tonst
wet publicity bureau branded this statement as
a fake, claiming that Lincoln uttered these
words We have taken the trouble to verify them
and give below the true story of their origin:
After one of Lincoln's temperance speeches in
Illinois, Major J. B. Merwin of Mddletown, Conn.,
intimate friend OF Lncolns permitted to see his
manuscript and the paragraph quoted above was
taken verbatim from the speech written and delivered
by Lincoln that occasion
Major Merwin, from whom we obtained these
facts, held peculiar position in Lincolns official
Lincoln, given the rank of Major and assigned to
the work of carrying a temperance propaganda
among the soldiers during the Civil War.
General Winfield Scott, Commander-in-Ch Chief of
the Federal army, pays this high tribute to Major
Merwin's work:
Headquarters of the Army, Washington:
esteem the mission of Mr.. Merwin this army
happy circumstance, and request all commanders
him free all of camps and posts and also to
multiply occasions enable him to address officers and
men. WINFIELD SCOTT
July I'd, 1861.
Commenting upon General SCOTS testimony, the
Evening Post of Washington in the issue of May FL,
1862, quoted General Butler as saying "The mission
of Mr. Merwn will be of great benefit to the troops,
and adds the approval of General Dix in these words
THE use of Intoxicating drinks as beverage is the
of the service
Of course, the vets abusing Major Merwin
for giving such unanswerable testimony regarding
Lincolns advocacy of Prohibition, but then what
else could you expect of the vets?
