(From the New York World.O

(From the New York World.)
Probably the Wesleys, yyhiteneld,
Asbury, Cartwright, Cough and
Moody, to say nothing of Sam Jones
and Billy Sunday, never moved so
many Americans on religious or
moral issue at one time as responded
to the temperance appeal of William
j. Bryan in Philadelphia on Monday
night. When he had finished his ad-
dress, $4,000 men signified their pur-
pose to refrain from the use of intoxi-
cants. The sincerity of the orator
was shown by the fact that he re-
manned for hours after the meeting,
afflxing his signature as a witness to
personal pledges of abstinence.
This is prohibition that will pro-
hibit, if anything can. 1t is adj
dressed to the individual. 1t obli-
gates the individual. 1t has behind
it tn" moral force. whatever that may
be, of the individual. 1t gains sup
port, no doubt, from the fervor ex-
hibited in the same direction by so
many people of like minds, but it de-
ponds not at all upon law or coercion
or circumstance.
Millions of Mr.. Bryan's fellow
countrymen who doubt his ability as
legislator, financier, diplomat or
statesman will readily acclaim him as
the greatest of exhorters. Few men
in his position, with the world at war
and questions of the utmost gravity
arising almost daily in his depart.
ment, could be persuaded to devote a
day and a night to temperance. 1t
will be said that he was neglecting
duty. Yet the lesson of sobriety may
be one that civilization needs today
as much as any other.
A remarkable character is this Sec
rotary of state who breaches peace to
nations inclined to war, who bids en-
pires and kingdoms to think twice
before drawing the sword, and who
finds time in the midst of many dis
fractions to urge, and by personal in
fuenee to help, thousands to higher
standards of life. How much does he
owe to the president or the president
to him?

Just how far the orgy Of hatred In
the eastern hemisphere can be car
ried is indicated by number of car
toons selected for the April issue of
Cartoons Magazine (Chicago) which
is Just off the press. A glance at
some Of this pictorial satire will ex-
plain why King George and Queen
Mary have attempted to suppress
certain caricatures in England as be-

monarchies. II it is the voice Of the
people that is speaking--and car
toons are supposed to echo this voice
then the twilight Of the kings'' is
near at hand.
The magazine, both pictorially and
in editorial comment, covers the pre-
vious months events, and makes an
other chapter of the most fascinating
continued story ever written. The
American cartoonists in the blockade
situation have again found a subject
for their pens, and many striking de-
signs, introducing the rattlesnake
emblem and the shades OF the Maine,
give a somewhat threatening aspect
to their work. Other cartoons show
the gaunt wolf of starvation, enlisted
by the belligerents as an ally. or por-
tray the horrors Of the submarine

Jews in Poland lie described in Sc

The People and Laws.
Clarke Co. SUM-

What nefarious laws have been
enacted by the people that prompted
the legislature to change the direct
primary, initiative and referendum
laws? The people enacted the state
wide prohibition law and rejected a
number of Objectionable laws. This
shows that the people know. by their
votes, what to reject, what to mi
tiate and what should be referred to
them.

Knockers, Look Out! Prosperity Wave
Will Run Over You.

New York, April l0.-Secreary of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo de-
clared, in letter read this evening
at the dinner of the Westchester coun-
ty Democratic Club, that the Republic
can leaders are trying to convince bus
mess men that business Is in slump,
when as matter of fact, it would be
just as easy TO stem the tide of the
ocean as to hold back the wave of
prosperity ut hand.
William Church Osborn attacked the
Republican leaders in the State as
vigorously as MIR. McAdoo attacked
those of the nation. Mr.. Osborn spoke
of the hypocrisy and betrayal to spec
ial interests which those at Albany
have been guilty of, and said that the
"spendthrift crew has already dissi-
pated the rich inheritance they re-
ceived from their Democratic prede-
cessors."
The dinner was reall-, n harony
dinner for Wilson Democrats, and
most of the big Federal ofiiceholders
of the city and state were present."

being to prevent absorption of the So

side of the crock and its cover with
boiling water to kill any germ life
that might be there. Boil three or
four gallons of water and allow to

nine parts of this water and one part
of the water-glass.
Fill the crock two-thirds full with
the preserving mixture. AS the egg
are gathered daily, put them into the
crock. Do not keep eggs several days
before putting them into the water
glass, as it is very important that the
eggs go into the crock the day they
are laid. Eggs must on no account
be washed and all cracked eggs and
those with very thin shells that might
be broken must be discarded.
Eggs may be added daily until the
crock is about three-fourths full, bear
ing in mind, however, that at least
one inch of liquid must always be
above the top layers of eggs. Place
the cover on the crock and set it in a
moderately cool place to prevent ex-

Appearing Prosperous Pays

A certain aristocratic beau, who
was known to be habitually "broke''
was asked one time, "How do you
manage to wear those nobby
clothes?" to which he replied, "By
stopping at the best hotel" When
asked how he managed to stand off
the hotel, he replied, "Why, that's
simple! BY wearing pretty clothes
and appearing prosperous.
This, of course, is not good rule
to follow yet there is lot in look
ing and appearing prosperous and
up-to-date.
If you are writing letters to pros
pective customers on plain, cheap
paper and with pencil, you don't
look prosperous and up to-date.

on the investment than attractive
stationery, ink, fountain pen and a
typewriter.

the price of such things. Try and

And why are the criminals counted
by legions? Just search for the bot

And here are sad women, worn
mothers who've spoken the words, all
reluctant, that gained them divorce;
the dreams they once dreamed are
all shattered and broken, the talk
of their loving has finished its course
