time in years, gave him some pain,
and during the past few days these
wounds became sore and painful This
is said to be the first time that they
have given him any trouble in years
Mr. Fahm fought in many of the
hardest battles in the Civil War. In
the battle of Gettysburg he received
two serious wounds on the same day,
and was in many othec hard strug-
g.es
The deceased was also Z Mason, one
of the oldest members in lis city, and
has been an active me Der of the
Confederate Veterans as )ciasion ev-
err since the Civil War. He is sur
viyed by one daughter, M $. Anderson,

New York Brewers Put the Lid On

The New York brewers have decreed that Sun
day must be absolutely dry. AS few leading brewers
hold chattel mortgages s. per of the New York
city saloons, they control the great majority of liquor
dealers.
If any saloonkeeper dares protest against orders
it is only necessary to remind him that the mortgage
his fixtures might suddenly terminate He takes
the hint
Thus it happens that when the brewers say: ere
member the coming Sabbath day to keep it dry" the
saloonkeepers wiring their hands and mutter deep
ly but they cannot disobey-or better to be dry on
Sunday than evicted on Monday-Mda's Criterion.

Liquor Consumption in Kansas

Among the false and misleading literature which
is being scattered broadcast the country by the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association is a
pamphlet entitled Facts About Kansas" by Royal E.
Cabel, former United States Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue. Whatever may be Mr.. Cabels reasons
for taking up the cudgels for the liquor interests land
there doubt that he has his private reasons) he
has shown himself in this pamphlet to be past mas
ter in juggling and dstorting the facts.
Regarding the consumption of liquor in Kansas
he says that he has been unable locate any reliable
figures. The truth is that when the "facts" make
against Mr.. Cabeps conclusions he is careful not to
record them. AS to the consumption of liquor, we
give below statistics which derived from reports
made to county clerks under the Mahin law and which
therefore are entirely trustworthy:
Kansas population 1,o9o949
Paid for liquors :............$ 53o3,666o4
Pad per capita ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Per capita cost in nation whole
At of SCI per capita Kansas would pay
These figures should set at rest this much moot
ed question and convince the candid of the unrea-
bility of so-caled wet statistics regarding Kansas

should be satisfied with that and we should be willing
to abide by that.
Also, let the liquor people agree that at the same
time along with their claims, shall be filed the claims
of the shareholders of the South for the billions of
dollars OF slave property that wiped out by the
thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution.
They who demand equity must be willing to do

Their Claim for Compensation
By Sam W. Small in National Daily

trade is prohibited, they should be compensated by
the public, in various sums of money, is about the
limit of impudence
Compensation should be justly awarded to them
under only two crcumstances-either for the cancel
ing of franchise before its legal termination and
without default by the holder, or for the taking of
property from the private for public use.
Neither of these contingencies necessarily follow
the act of Prohibiting the liquor traffic.
Licenses or franchises to make or sell intoxicat-
ing liquors issue always for period fixed by law,
and scarcely ever for longer term than one year.
At the end of that year the buyer Of the license
has received all that he paid for and the public has
given to him all it sold to him. If the public refuse
to the bargain with him for another year. then
he owes the public nothing and the public owes
him nothing at all.
Where, then, is the legal ground for compensa-
ton to the rejected would-be license purchaser?
AS for the second contingency, the public does
not take the property of the liquor dealer 1t leaves
every item of it still in his full possession. 1t only
exercises it's sovereign police power to stop him from
using his property in unlawful ways. All the courts
of the land that passed upon this phase of Pro-
hibton have denied that the liquor dealer has an ota
of legal ground for compensation
But the liquor people cite the cases of Swtzer-
have been allowances Of compensation for liquor
trades, either repressed suppressed
The cases SO cited not comparable with the
case in the United States.
In Our country liquor licenses not property.
They do not attach to the premises and become a
part of their vested values With us license is not
contract in law between the public and the
licensee. 1t is simply personal privilege for a
stated time on terms fixed by law 1t is always re-
vocable at the will of the public, without explanation
compensation.
In England one hears of licensed premises but
in America speak of licensed saloonkeeper."
Therein lies legal difference of status and abi-
ity wide the Atlantic ocean.
Anyhow why not end this Compensation racket
at by announcing to the liquor trade that after
national Prohibition is proclaimed, will gladly pay
to them all the compensation that the Supreme Court
of the United States will award to them? They
