was showing the bunk in pros
perity'' when railroads got their raise
in rates. Some are now asking for
a raise even in passenger rates-the
dirty thieVes-and may get it, too.
Now then, let me show you an OPP
teal illusion. When the l. G. hires
a hundred men in Springfield and
gives them track work; when the 20"
puts 100 men at work in the shops
at Des Moines; when the Pennsy
gives employment to 100 men in
Pittsburgh; when the Erie adds 100
men to it's force in Buffalo, the news
papers hear of it and the accumula-
ton Of jobs for men who have been
jobless absolutely proves" that pros
perity is on the way. Men who had
no work for months are being en-
ployed at good wages.
But they have been spending their
savings; they are now - being part
employed-beginning to pay higher
money for what the consumer, the
wOrkingman, uses. Even when they
are out of work they, or some one,
was paying for their food and cloth
ing and shelter, such as it was. But
I don't count this at all.
In Chicago there was a meeting of
the directors of a wholesale clothing
house that employs 5000 men. The
secretary reported that they were

WHAT BOOZE DID FoR ME-

WHAT BOOZE DID FOR ME.-My
paternal grandfather was a heavy
dTinker, his family consisting of four
sons and one daughter The three
older sons followed in the footsteps
of their father and though each was
talented in his particular line, one a
taxidermist, one a landscape garden
er and another a mechanical engineer
and successful business man, these
three were all religious, but became
incurable drUnkards before they were
80 and died in middle age of the over
use of alcohol My father, the young
est, though also a heavy drinkeT at
%, then met young woman whose
influence caused him to become
strict teetotaler for the remaining so
years of his life, and the example of
hereditary faint of drunkenness in
the family" as taught by my mother,
caused the six brothers and sisters
to be reared as strict teetOtaleTs and,
there being no religious belief in the
family, this successful result was OBJ
tanned by my mother through prac-
teal drill and the incUlcatiOn of the
habit of sobriety and abstemiOusness.
l think you viii agree with me that
it is a matter of some interest What
booze did for me" and our nationalist
family, for the booze was kept en-
tirely in the last generation and we
have found that other nationalist
families have secured equally crafty
ing results by not introducing any
form of mysticism to enforce a mat
ter of practical diet and common
sense, a matter entirely separated
from theory or theOlogy-A. WORTH

High Liquor License Defeated

The Lee high license bill has been
defeated in the Senate by a vote of
II to 8. 1t provided for quarterly
license of $3.50 for saloons or $1,000
a year. Senator Lee proposed the
bill at the request of saloon men,
who said that they desired to put the
business on a more exclusive and
higl - :. disarm those who
would soon be advocating prohibition.
Senator Kenney of Storey spoke
against the bill, saying it would drive
out of business many small innkeep-
ers who could not afford to pay the
license and that many a mans life
had been saved by having the chance
to get a drink along the highway.

CONGRESS FINALLY AOJOURNS
Fall OF Gavel Marks Close of Half
of President Wilson's Ad-
ministration

After two years of almost contin-
uous session, the sixty-third Con-
gress. which revised the tariff and
the currency system of the Nation,
supplemented the ust.laws, created
an income tax and experienced the
first popular election of United States
Senators, ended on March d.
When gavels fell in the House and
Senate signalling the adjournment,
they marked the close of half of
President Wilson'S administration,
the first under domination of the
Democratic party since 1895.
Strenuous scenes enlivened the fad
ing hours devoted chiefly to complet-
ing the appropriations for subsist-
ence to the Government. Two inn
portant measures, the Postoffice and
Indian supply bills, failed in the final
legislative crush despite desperate
efforts made to save them. In the
emergency occasioned by their fail
ure joint resolutions were passed and
signed by the President continuing
in force appropriations of the pres
ent year.
Wilson Creets Members
While tired Senators and Repre-
sentatives were devoting their ener-
gies to final essentials President Will
son spent more than an hour in his
room at the capitol surrounded by
members of his cabinet, signing the
last fruits of legislation. The Presi-
dent found time in the midst of this
task to greet Senators and Repre-
sentatives and he made the occasion
entirely one of congratulations, maxi
ing no reference to projects which
had failed.
Scores of members of both Houses
joined in an exodus from Washing
ton, taking with them assurances
that no extra session of Congress
would be called at least before the
Fall. Despite the fact that many
important bills failed of considera-
tion because of the long filibuster
against the ship purchase bill, it was
generally understood that Congress
would be given rest and the coun-
try respite from legislation. Ii
was regarded as extremely probable,
however, that the sixty-fourth Con-
gress would be summoned in Oc-
tober in order to be able to adjourn
for the political conventions and Ma
tional campaign of 1916.

ture recently adopted a resolution
directed to Congress asking that the
bill be passed.
