STEADY EVOLUTION OF CHIN
Has Progressed With the Intellect ual and Social Advance of Man
 kind.

In man the chin seems to project ward his modern civilized condition. This must imply that, immediately the huge lower canines degenerated, the part took on some other function of vital importance to the race, and that the need has increased with his intellectual and social advancement.
 My theory, then. is that the chin is essentially a part of the mechanism of articulate speech,
 It is tempting to theorize little further and to suggest that the hu- man chin perhaps bears testimony to prehistoric change from carnal weapons to others, which, if not ex- actly spiritual, were such as appealed to the part of us where spiritual forces work, for apparently long ago, before sword, the tongue proved mightier than the teeth.
 If one could only prove this one might show that even before the Gla- cial epoch, parliamentary institutions (using the term in its widest sense) began to take the place of lethal weap- ons in settling disagreements, and that the substitution of arbitration for war is not merely a doctrine of later day moralists, but is part of the or dered march of cosmic progress, as in- evitable as the other evolutionary changes which have brought us up from among the brutes.-North Ameri- can Review

TOLL OF 2,OOo A DAY.

According to Doctor Demme, who studied ten temperate families" and ten "intemperate families" for II years in the same class of society, the deaths of children under five in the latter group were five times as many as in the former group-25 against five Since the deaths below the age of five comprise 30 per cent. of all the deaths, it is evidently more than conservative to take the comparison of adult males given above as a measure of the rav- ages of alcohol for the total popula- tion, says Richmond P. Hobson, in Al cohol and the Government If we were a nation of total abstainers we would die off at the rate of 560 per 61,00Q of the population, whereas w are actually dying off at rate 1000 per 1000. In other words, alec hol causes the premature death of 440 citizens out of every 61,000 of the population every year, which means that alcohol kills about 100000 Ameri- can citizens every year, about 2,000 a day every day the sun rises.

LIQUOR BUSINESS A PARASITE.
(By LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WAL

(By LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WAL
 LACE of California;
 Business is an exchange of com modities. It is buying and selling. and there must be advantage or gain in the barter. For continued com- merce the gain must extend to both parties to the transaction. If the re- sultant advantage of business deal inures to the benefit of one party only, there is an economic defect The buy CT must benefit by his purchase as buyer gets from the grocer four, from the hardwareman nails, from the lum- herman lumber, and in each case buy CT and seller are benefited. The same buyer goes to the saloon to get wine or beer or whisky The dealer makes a profit on the goods sold But here is a break in our business principle. The buyer makes no gain. He parts with his share of the barter. and gets nothing valuable in return At every other counter there was gain on both sides; here the gain was on one side only. The transaction llmps; 1t IS false to business principles. It repre- sents economic waste.
 The economic waste becomes a null tiplied factor when the argument is extended to liquors effect on the pur- chaser who consumes it. The liquor traffic is a parasite. Any business blood that it has is sucked from the vigorous body of healthful business. It contributes nothing, but draws heavily. If town or city prospers where traffic in liquor is allowed, it's prosperity Is less than it should be by just so much as liquor takes. It gives nothing, and what it takes is so much subtracted from the general gain.

MONEY TO RUN COUNTRY,

Where will you get the money to run the country if you cut out the sale of liquor?" asks the liquor advocate.
 'The best answer we know of," says the North American of Philadelphia, lis the action of Russia, England, France and Germany, which at a time when every cent that can be got is urgently needed for the conduct of the war, find it more profitable to reduce this revenue than to run the risks in cidental upon the general use of alco- holic drinks among the soldiers and. as in Russia, the general public"

The Missouri gentlemen, so gay, so genial, at the dinner table take on a frigid look when the cards and chips appear.

 One million workers in plants selling rail roads material and supplies-counting their families, 5,000000.
 One million, five hundred thousand holders of stocks and bonds, owners of this great in- dustry, repl esonting at least G.CJ0.O00 per- sons in the United States whom it thus helps to support. Railway bonds constitute 49 per cent of all bonds held by savings hanks.

It is a strange fact, but nevertheless true particularly in times past, that the people of the average State have not regarded their railroads as an industry, and yet there IS not a single Southern or Western State in which the railroads do not pay out more money for labor and supplies than does any other single enterprise, however large, We talk about our fertile farm lands and our great cities, with their big factories and large pay rolls, which create market for farm products but we forget that more workngmens families depend upon the railroads for living than upon any other one industry, either in the nation or in the average State.
 This is why the welfare of the farmer, the Worldngman, the business man, is so closely linked with the prosperity of the railroads-not merely because the railroads furnish them freight and passenger serv- ice, but because the millions they pay out in so many different ways contribute so much to the prosperity of the people Ar kansans are vitally interested in the wei fare of the railroads.
 Let us consider for moment what the railroad industry means to this country:
 It has 1,84S,883 employees to whom it pays $1, ,390, ,025, ,286 in wages.
 Forty-four cents out of every dollar spent by the railroads is paid for labor
