IF YOU MUST DRINK. TAKE
WHISKEY, SAYS SENATOR
(By Burton *. standish.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. s.
Senator Harry Lane of Oregon, who
made the original and interesting dis
covery that u. S. senators are just
plain NUTS like the rest of male hu-
mans, has offered solution for the
hiind big problem, insofar as it re
iates to gentlemen from other states
finding liquor in states that have gone
dry His experience in Alaska fur
nished the inspiration.
For the benefit of those states"
he declared, 81 would suggest they
adopt the method of the Eskimos to
protect their food supplies from the
ever-Eungry malamute dog, which is
to cache it upon platform about 20
feet above the ground. By doing thus
would compel enterprising and thrifty
gentlemen from other states to seek
.heir solace in the open air by means
of ladder"
Alaska, by the way, has furnished
Senator Lane with considerable argu-
ment against liquor.
''In the interior of Alaska" he says
"where the temperature goes down to
10 and 80 below zero they do not al

SOUTHERN RAILROADS
ARE HEAVY SUFFERERS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-Automo-
bile busses, which have invaded the
field of interurban transportation in
southern California, are primarily re-
sponsible for the request presented to
the state railroad commission today
by the three principal railroads for
the withdrawal of special fare reduc-
tions.
t. G. Peck, general passenger
agent of the Salt Lake railroad, said
that the motor busses have cut pas
senger fares in two between Los An
geles and various towns in southern
California. They maintain regular
schedules and carry from fifteen to
twenty passengers each trip without
being subject to the overhead charges
for franchises and road and highway
maintenance, which have been impos-
ed upon the railroads.
In addition, Peck declared that mo-
tor trucks, particularly in the milk
carrying business, have seriously re-
duced the volume of interurban
freight formerly carried by the rail
roads. The Salt Lake railroad loses
$1,000 a month to the milk-carrying
motor trucks alone, he said

cheaper in the long run. 1t is a mat
ter of economy. If you really wish
to use alcohol and get the effects from
it without the subterfuge or fooling
about it. 1t is the safest drink of
all.
81 say this in order that those
who are going to continue the use of
it may have the advantage of my
study on the subject. If they want
straight, unadulterated liquor upon
which to get drunk, let them use pure
alcohol, cologne spirits, the alcohol
itself diluted with water. You will all
do better to stick to pure whiskey
rather than to go fooling around high
wines"

vote more time TO it. One can knit
in the dark, you know, and It is an
interesting way 10 pass solitary hours.
THAT is something big in the
thought that these prisoners are do
ing something freely for people they
never saw. II is their first opportun-
ity to help, and, being unfortunates
themselves, they, more than any one
i, else, appreciate that misfortune needs
relief.
"Our committee cannot work in 9th
er states; we have too much to do
here, but | hope that prisons else
where take up the practice
Mrs. Shelling's visit to Sing Sing
has aroused her interest in the pris-
oners more than she would have be-
lieved possible.
81 went there thinking I might help
the Polish unfortunates," she said,
but now / think we are helping the
prisoners, too. Conditions are wonder
fully better NJ the prison now than
few years ago, but the men have had
too little to do during their lone
hours"
Hundreds of knitted articles are
being received at the offices of the
committee, 4S7 Fifth avenue, every
week. Mrs. Shelling has looked over
most of them, and declares that Am
erican women are learning to knit "al-
most as well as their greatgrandmoth
ers did,"

The Storm and the Train Situation.
The gale that swept over Duran
go and the storm that has had the
section in its grasp since last night
seems to have been much more severe
in the territory surrounding US. One
Of the hardest storms for years has
been raging over on Cumbres today,
and conditions We're such that no at.
tempt was made to cross the range
from either direction. Silvert0n re-
ports 30 inches of-new snow. In front
of the depot in that town coat of
the beautiful six feet deep covers the
ground. The Southern that left here
yesterday morning was blockaded at
Lizard Head. Up to the time Of 60
ing to press the road had not been
opened. This mornings outgoing
Southern returns from Dolores to-
night. The Eastern turns back at
Chama. On account of the storm no
attempt has been made to run train
over the Silverton branch since yes
terday morning. Snow drifts rather
than blockades seem to have caused
the trouble on that line.

low anyone to get out upon long
trip and take whiskey with him. II
a man is met on the trail and it Is
aseertained he has whiskey with him
it is taken away from him and the
bottles broken. They do not do that
out of any feeling of kindness to-
ward him particularly, but they have
found, and from experience, that it is
necessary to do so, for the reasoI. that
lmdeI the influence of liquor man
on the trail will take chances that he
otherwise would not take. If his feet
or hands become froze, the whole ex.
pedition is tide up taking care of him.
So they go right through his pack
and if he has whiskey or alcohol they
tske it away from him and break the
bottles"
ner views of the oregon senator,
why is physician, are not exactly
orthodox on this same subject.
81 do not think alcohol is direct
eause of a large proportion of insan-
lty,' ne says. 81 do not think that
large tables of statistics if cerefully
analysed will show that it is the old
alcoholic, the chronic drunk, who, as
rule, goes insane. He becomes a
hobo; he becomes a nuisance; he is
the cause of misery to his children,
he makes his wife unhappy and is the
cause of his children not having
enough to eat and to wear: he may
become shattered physically but, as
a rule, he does not become insane
After he quits drinking, as a rule he
resumes his normal mental condition
and lives along without becoming in
sane. / do not think much of stat
istics which try to show that he fur
ishnes the largest proportion of the
inmates of insane asylums, for the
reason that my experience is to the
contrary"
But if you are going to drink, says
the senator, drink straight booze"
Il think my friend from Mississippi
Senator Williams, is mistaken if he
thinks that alcoholic drinks derived
from the grape, the fermented liquors
in contradiction to those that are dis
titled, are less harmful. 1t is my
opinion that he is decidedly mistaken.
The Englishman and the Scotchman
and those people of Europe who drink
heavy port wines are, / think, kill
ed off as quickly, and / think more
quickly, than those who confine them
selves to the use of pure whiskey.
"Is person is going to drink at
all, if he wants to get drunk, if he
desires stimulant, as a physician
who has praetided for 40 years |
would say to him, Get good pure
whiskey' Leave wine and beers out.
You will last longer and do yourself
less harm and the result will come
