With This constitutional and truly

been exhausted or its %inadequacy
proved by experience, any proposal to
issue bonds for the requirements OF

almost criminal in its Indifference to

There Is no more warrant for a
bond issue for this purpose, the tariff

than there Is for a bond issue to pay
the current expenses Of the West

That is why we hesitate to believe
that President WILSON and his advis-

Congress to go TO the bankers before
going to the custom houses. 1t Is

FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT.

(By REV. JOSEPH HENRY CROOKER)
Let US see how the liquor trade
works out as business proposition in
a small village of 5000 people count
ing the tributary country folk), with
four saloons. AS the average per cap
ita expenditure for drink in the United
States is over twenty dollars a year,
on that basis this village would spend
100000 annually for liquor. But, to be
conservative, we will cut this in two
and make it $4,000. That sum, very
large for SO small a community, we
may set down as the charge against
the saloons. The business gains from
them are practically as follows: For
licenses. $1,000 $3.50 being the aver
age village fee); for rent Cthe keepers
living above their barrooms), $4,000;
for household expenses of four fami-
lies, $4,000 Ia very high estimate;
making $500 the amount of money
which the business spends in the town
"a very liberal calculation That is,
for every four dollars paid over the
bar, only one comes back to the finan-
cial interests of the community. An
outgo of four dollars and income of
one dollar. Surely. not much profit in
that
Or to put the matter in another way:
For every four dollars that goes into
any one of those saloons, three dollars
never comes out again to do business in
that town; the grocer on one side loses
a dollars trade, the market on the 9th
er side loses dollars trade, and the
merchant across the street also loses
a dollars trade for every hour through
out the year!

SAVED TRAIN BY SAFETY PIN

desk had a lot of trouble. 1t seems
that the new train is made so that it
can be worn or not worn, just as the
owner of the freak to which it belongs
fancies. When her friends expressed
their admiration of Mrs. Camille Roe's
new frock, all went merry as a mar
riage bell until one of these friends
became SO enthusiastic over the way
Mrs. Roe managed her new train that
the latter drew out of the dance to
explain.

catching at her skirt. She caught in
