It's hot weather that does it.
Don't shove unless you are be
ing showed.
Remember the little babies to
keep them cool and happy.
Giving it another twist, the
people would rather have Mr..
Bryan fright" where he is than
president.
Evidently there are more ways
of enditing tribal lays than of
writing diplomatic notes.
For strategic reasons Mr.. Bryan
retreated to a position previous
ly prepared.
Among the seasons novelties are
June roses, frappe.
'Peace is a good thing and the
whole worlds entitled to enjoy it
"Shirtless, sleeveless and stock
ingless" is the description of the
latest seaside bather. No wonder
sharks are biting.
Next will be a movie film of
a fat man trying to get satisfact
ion out of a pineapple sundae.
Perhaps after all what the
President needs is a "Stenograph-
er" Of State rather than'a "Secre-
tary of State"
President Wilson may safely
proceed upon the principle that
the right is always expedient.
Mr. Bryan is a voluntary Jonah
but he cant locate the whale;
In a crisis the Government and
the people are one and the male
VIOLENT critic of the one is the
of the other.
Mr.. Bryan wrote his own res
lgnation and signed it, and perhaps
nus enemies will call it IAN able
state paper"
At least it is appropriate that
all these peace rumors should
blossom out of orange bloom
time.
Rather than rock the boat Mr..
Bryan plunged over board into
the deep blue sea.
In the emergency the much
abused automobile is a blessing
even to the person who does not |
own one.

! bring to you some greetings true
That have put in rhyme,
From those who love you every day,
And love you all the time,
We don't know just how many years
Unto your life have chung,
But you have got the helping heart,
And you are always young,
And you have kept the patient life,
The kindly life and true,
A friend indeed in time of need,
When there was work to do,
The neighborS heart to make the
world,
A better place for men,
The brothers heart to lift the load,
And bring the song again,
The helping heart to pierce the
gloom
And find good tomorrow
The Sympathizing heart to sooth
In any time of sorrow,
Yes you have been along the years,
Where Joys and sorrows blend,
To those who gather here tonight,
A true and faithful friend.
And so because we feel toward you,
AS those who love each other,
We have come TO tell you so tonight,
Neighbor, and friend, and Brother.
If we could tell you All we feel,
Of high regard for you,
1t would make a pyramid of words
To touch the vaulted blue,
But since we lack not WILL but
Words,
We close these simple rhymes,
Hoping hundred birthday bells
May ring for you their chimes,

long course of experience that the
manufacture and sale Of liquors is at

tremely detrimental to good govern

mind that the moral side Of this prob
lem is Of supreme Importance for all
Of the people and furnishes abundant
reason for the prohibition of the iq-
uor traffic.
'The economic side of this PROPOSE
ton is of very great Importance:
shall refer to only one phase OF this,
however, because believe the others
have been discussed from every view
point. The phase that wish especial
ly to consider is suggested by an argu-
ment which appeared in the New York
Herald, June z, 1914. The following
statement appeared in the argument:
Facts about the liquor business
and allied industries in New York
state
Number of persons employed,
$4,000.
Annual wages and salaries,
100000.
value OF product and trade,
$S42 100000.
Internal revenue tax for 1914,
$72;000,000.
Number of farms devoted to hop
culture, 1927.
Acreage of farms devoted to
hop culture, 1880.
"Statements Of the above character
are often made with the intent that
they should impress the public and
win them to the support OF the liquor
interests They begin at the wrong end
Of the argument. II the liquor traffic
in itself is not desirable and useful,
then the employment Of $4,000 per
sons in New York alone, and q much
greater number in all the states, is to
be deploreo, for to take the time Of SO
many persons in a useless and even
harmful occupation is a waste. These
persons should be engaged in a work
that would help in the production and
distribution of the things that we need
and that are useful. Likewise the in
vestment of $S42,000,000 in the liquor
product and trade would be immensely
more valuable in it's service if it were
employed in operating enterprises in
which the common necessities Of these
and all other people are in need. 1t is
mistake to employ anyone in an enter
prise that does not serve actual neces
sites. In the final analysis labor pays
! for all production, and therefore the
production should be of a character tt
! serve our common requirements ant
not merely to keep persons employed
irrespective of the need of the prod
ucts of their employment.
ut is also foolish to claim that thu
liquor traffic should be supported tt
furnish revenue to the government ant
to villages and cities collecting for Il
censes. In the first place, the evil e1
fects resulting from the business il
themselves create more expenses thai
ali the revenue and license collection
amount to. And, furthermore, in az
counting fer the collections made TO
village and city licenses we know tina
the dealers must pay for their stoc
and the costs of running the bushes
as we'll as a profit in addition. Sine
what they sell serves no actual nee
of the buyers here again is waste
and the funds used might much bette
be invested in enterprises that woul
serve actual needs.

SENTIMENT ON THE EUROPEAN

sympathy in the European war, but |
thus far it has had no basis except |

approach an answer to this question
we have obtained statements from be-
tween $50 and 400 editors, telling their
own attitudes and the feelings of their
communities toward the warning ma
tions.

the result Of this inquiry entirely with
out partisanship, and purely for our
readers information. The replies COW

handles, roundly denoancing q certain
libelous article which had appeared in
one of the Twin City papers.

Says if Present Tariff is Con
tinued, Party Will Have
Broken Pledge

Frank C. Lowry, manager of the
sales department of the Federal Sug
ar Refining Company, and alleged to
be the chief legislative agent of the
refners. is out with another attack
on the sugar tariff.
The latest tack taken by the rein.
ers in their efforts to secure raw sug-
ar cheap is apparently to attack the
Democratic administration on the
ground of violation of faith, for Low
rvs letter declares that a continuation
of the present tariff means that the
Democratic party failed to keep its
prediction pledge to the American
people"
His most recent document is a
printed letter under date of Novem.
Der Is, as follows:
aFree Sugar"
Means saving to consumers of
over 1c per pound on all sugar con-
sumed in the United States. This
equals something more than $4,000
900 annually. Indirectly such reduc-
ton In their first cost would also be
of the greatest advantage to all man
ufacturers who use sugar. The bene-
fits of free sugar are very apparent
"A Continuation Of the Present Tariff
means that because OF the duty, the
consumer viii pay $22.40 per ton, or
over $S4.000,000 per year more for
his sugar than would be the cost un-
der free sugar. This amount taken
from the people will be divided about
on the basis of "fifty-fifty" between
the United States government and the
sugar interests. The government win
collect in duties approximately $780,
OO0,0eo less about $S,000,000, which
will be refunded in drawbacks.
Because of the enhanced value of
their product, as result of the duty,
the producers within our borders viii
divide as an indirect subsidy, the bal
ance of approximately $3S.000.000. The
division being about as follows:
