SALOON AND LABOR PROBLEM.

We make no claim that a closed saloon will settle the labor problem; we do not believe it will. We do affirm that there never will be found solu- tion for the labor problem that ignores the saloon and allows it to continue, whether run by the individual or by the brewer for profit or run by the gov ernment without profit. Labor cannot carry 100000 rum shops on its back and prosper under any system.
 The kingdom of labor will not have come when the door of the saloon Is shut; there will still be industrial wrongs to right and other economic problems to solve; but the largest sin gle immediate contribution toward that consummation, the swiftest relief that can be applied, is the abolition of the liquor traffic in the United States. It Is the one thing that as the barrier to all other reform must be removed,
 To every son of toll who Is ground beneath the millstones of low wages and high cost of living, we have but one message. "In the name of God and home and native land, rise up and vote for prohibition. ."-Clinton Howard.

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.


 q have believed in the regulation, not the prohibition of the liquor traf- fic,' says Dr. Lyman Abbott, but the action of liquor dealers has made regulation Impossible"
 The secretary of the Ohio Temper ance Union Ca liquor organization wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a letter which could be used in the state prohibition campaign. Doubtless he is sorry he did it. The reply came as an open letter in the Outlook and is severe arraignment of the saloon as a lawbreaker. It's law-defying pro- pensities have, in the judgment of Doctor Abbott, been it's undoing. We quote:
 The American people are charac- teristically conservative and slow in coming to conclusion. But they are coming to the conclusion, though slowly, that the American saloon is not only local nuisance but na. tional calamity and are resolving to abolish it.
 ue QueStloH lS HOt, IS DUCT uSo- full article of food?
 It is not, Is moderate drinking wrong?
 It is not, Does the Bible prohibit or permit moderate drinking?
 These questions the people would prefer to leave each individual free to determine for himself.
 But they are not willing to leave each individual to determine for him. self whether the laws enacted by the community shall be obeyed. That question the community will decide, and it will suffer any inconvenience, any deprivation, which may be neces- sary to secure such obedience. This Is the meaning of the present prohibit tory movement.
 But if the people are compelled to choose between an unregulated and lawless liquor traffic and the prohibit tion of the liquor traffic, I do not doubt that they will choose prohibit tion. If we cannot reform the saloons, we shall abolish them. And if we can find no other way to abolish them, we shall abolish the distillery. the brew cry, the winery and the importation of liquor from abroad"

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

The following resolution was passed by the International Congress on Tu- berculosis, held in Paris. at which some 2,000 medical scientists were present: That in view of the close connection between alcoholism and tuberculosis, this congress strongly emphasizes the importance of combin- ing the fight against tuberculosis with the struggle against alcoholism"
 At the International Alcohol Con- gress at Bremen, Professor Segran. e distinguished Frenchman, said that the use of alcohol predisposes the system to tuberculosis and also pre- vents cures. The real individual and social treatment for tuberculosis con sists in the strictest total abstinence rom alcoholic liquors.

SOLDIERS NOISY DREAMrRS.
Fight Battles In Sleep, Say Fearsome
 London Landladies

Landladies of lodging houses near the London railroad terminal are be- coming dittident about taking in sol diers just back from the front, partic- ularly those who have participated in the recent fighting around Loos.
 The landladies say the poot soldiers fight the terrible battles over again in their sleep and the shreks and hys. teria are enough to shake the strong est nerves.
 Many of the men who took part in the engagement are afflicted with the most horrible of dreams and somn3m- bulistically slash and kill 1.-the Germans to the terror of all the other lod2ers.
 Figures are nnobtainabe. but the cases of nervous breakdowns during the last few weeks have reached a high figure
 Even officers have been affected, and men who have stood up under the strain since the early days of the war say that the sights during the recent offensive are too terrible for mention.

BY RUSE FRENCH ENGINEER
 CARRIES SIX TURKS TO DEATH
Explaining Submarine Machinery, He
 Causes Vessel to Sink.

"A story of an extraordinary exploit by member of the crew of a captured French submarine reaches me through what 1 believe to be trustworthy channel from ConstantinOple, says the Salonili correspondent of the London Chronicle
 "Some little time ago the French sub marine Turquoise. as already stated in the European press, got into difficulties in the sea of Marmora and was unable to avoid capture, her crew being taken prisoners. The submarine was placei on exhibition at ConstantinOple and visited by n number of members of the Turkish general stan, accompanied by some Turkish engineers, The latter were asked to explain the working of the vessel to the officers, but their eX- perience was insufficient. and they were unable to do so. Then the officers. be ing greatly interested sent a messen- ger to bring one of the French engi neers, to whom the desire of the Turk ish officers was explained.
 "The Frenchman saw he might have an opportunity or destroying lhe SUD marine and left note for his Comrade prisoners saying what he would do if he had q chance, bidding them goodby and writing "Vive la patrie!" at the end of the note.
 While on board the submarine the Frenchman managed to set the ma chinery going before 1t was noticed what he was doing There must in all probability have been a struggle in the submarine as it-sped away from shore, but at all events it was seen at some distance from the spot where it had been on exhibition, aud then it was ob- served to sink.
 "The number of officers stated to be on board the lost vessel is six"

OBJECTS TO LIQUOR DEALER.

My objection to the liquor dealer is the same as my objection to the bed bug For all l know, the bedbug may be entirely above reproach, so far as his social relations are concerned. He may be regular in his religious duties, gentle in his home and prompt in pay ing his bills. He may be frugal and in- dustrious and blameless in every civic duty and domestic obligation. He may be kind to his wife and children. obliging to his neighbors. generous to the outcast and worthy of the vote of his congressional district. But my ob- jection to him is the way he gets his living-T. Alexander Cairns.

MAKE JAW FROM A RIB.

Remarkable Surgery Successful In a
 Canadian Operation.
 Part of a rib of Toronto soldier has become his new jaw. This surgery has just been wrought at Toronto upon one of the 800 injured who have recently returned from the Canadian army corps fighting in France. The subject, a private, had big section of the bone from the back portion of his lower jaw carried away by shell at Ypres.

which would extend to every branch
of chemical and pharmaceutical
preparations.
We have talked lot and plausibly
of manufacturing dye stuffs here.
1t has been possible in Germany only
because of the elaborate university
system there and the intimate
mutual relationship between the
progress of the industry and theo-
retical research in organic chemis-
try. 1t was developed from the uni
versity laboratories, and even today
the great color factories and the
university faculties are hand in glove
and working side by side.
No such condition has obtained in
this country. 1t is distinctly possible
that if we had commercial advant-
age over Germany in the cheapness
of raw material the demand for its
utilization would do for our UNIVERSE
ties and for every branch of chemi-
cal activity what the Badische Anilin
Fabrik, Schuchardt, Bayer, and
others have done for Germany. The
layman can scarcely appreciate how
valuable to the world has been that
influence.
