this means? What it means in eco homie loss to the nation
 From 25 to 30 per cent of all the insane in this nation are victims of alcohol used sometimes on the pre- scription of the physician; sometimes constantly in patent nostrums; often in moderate quantities, and frequent ly to excess.
 Illinois, Indiana, Onto, New York, Pennsylvania and Kentucky are the six great whisky producing states of this nation. Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania New York and Ken lucky have the largest percentage of insanity of any of the states of this nation. Do you call that coincidence? I don't. call it cause and effect. You can't trample Gods laws under foot and go unwhipped of justice.
 Sometimes get a good deal mixed up on the question of who the crim- inals are. Often am quite convinced that the poor fellow behind the bars is not half so bad as the man who walks down the street, brides himself on his strength, and puts into the box a ballot to enthrone in office men who he knows will not enforce the law.
 1 want you to go with me to the prison for little while at the time the men fall in line to march to their cells at night. If you have such a splendid Christian warden as we have in our Kentucky state reformatory and in our state penitentiary, you can say to him, Wont you call that line to halt and order every man who came here for offenses committed when he was under the influence of alcoholic liquor, as shown by the evi- dence adduced in the trial, to step out of that line over here." If you are not up on statistics you will be amazed at the results. If you were in Kentucky S6 out of every 100 of these men, according to the decisions of the courts, would step out and form a new line. If you were in New York, according to the decisions of the courts, 92 out of every 100 would step forward. ask you, which is more of a criminal, the man who votes to establish an institution to make crim- inals, or the poor fellow, who with muddled brain commits some offense for which he is sentenced to the peni- tentiary?

Historic Painting Spell.

Prince Oscar, the kaiser's fifth son, wbo has just returned to duty with the German army, left the fighting line after an engagement in which he saw the officers about him slaughtered by Turcos and himself collapsed from what has been pronounced a severe at tack of heart trouble. In the Mexican war Brig. Gen. Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire tainted while in action from the pain of an injury sustained when his horse fell on him. This h. cident-this unmanly fainting at a time when other people were getting killed-was used numerically to make Pierce a target for ridicule in later years when he ran for the presidency.

The life of tenant family in the Southwest need not be altogether hard. In fact it might as well be as satisfactory, to a large degree as the life of the family of the average home owning small farmer. The home owner pays no interest, in the form of rent, on borrowed capital that is his only necessary advantage. But the tenant, in this respect, is at no greater disadvantage than 90 per cent of the really successful business men, who do business in rented quar- ters and on borrowed capital.
 Several conditions are necessary for satisfying life in tenant home pleasant home surroundings, good church and school advantages, pleas ant social life, and cordial relations with the landlord. The last named essential and still another-long term

 Is there any conflict between land lord and tenant in the Southwest? :? If there is it has less reasonable foun- dation than has the monstrous Euro pean war, and it has none! The in- terests of landlord and tenant are one. Both get their living from the same ground, and both want the best liv- ing that ground can afford. One cannot get better living without the other doing so also. Here, then, Is ground for the dlosest cooperation known among business associates. And since the family's life is so vii tally related to the community life, full. harmonious cooperation should prevail among all the landlords and tenants of any community.

HARD MATTER TO ARRANcr
Question of Disarmament, Eol,o..- War, Will Test the MettIe of
 Diplomats.

Whenever talk of the re-estab,,., ment of peace after the present v,, comes up. disarmament or the rear. tion of ornaments Is sure to be an ,,s portant issue. Just how the nat,or. shall effect program of disarm,. ment is vexed question. The pn cyclopedia Britannica cites as "th. only existing case of contractura, TO. duction of ornaments" the disarm.. ment agreement of the 18th of May 1902, between Chilean and Argentina republics. By this agreement the tvo governments arranged to reduce thei, fleets according to an arrangement establishing reasonable proportion between the two fleets, and respective ly promised not to increase their mari. time armaments during five years, un. less the one who shall wish to in. crease them shall give the other IS months notice in advance"
 The Britannica authority points out that an agreement of this kind is mora feasible among states whose nayles are small, because in the case of large navies 1t would be difficult to agree on principle for assessment of the proportionate fighting value of the re. spective fleets. Even comparatively slight differences in the ages of ships may make great difference in their fighting value.

CITIZENSHIP.

CHRISTIAN C|TIZENShfP.
 Excerpts from an address delivered before the National w. c. T. U. convention by Mrs Frances E. Beau champ of Kentucky.)
 Why do we have blind babies? We do not have blind calves, blind colts, blind pigs. and blind lambs. While the problem confronts us the statis tcian steps up behind us and tells us that GS per cent of all the children that are born blind come into this world thus hampered because the griAy hand of the liquor tra afic, through tho drink habit of the parents or grandparents lifted itself out of the past and projected itself into the fu- ture, aud closed the eyes of the chiE dren before they were born. The sci entists tell us that so far as the blight upon future generations is con- cerned, a man would better get hilari- ously drunk now and then and stay sober the rest of the time, than to be a constant, moderate thinker, contin- ually taking into his system small quantities of alcohol.
 1 ask you to estimate how many blind children we have in the United States, count the cost to the state of maintaining its institutions for the blind, and then put it down as part of the tribute we annually render to King Alcohol that he may go on in his work of putting out~the eyes of generations that are to come
 Why should America have deaf chil. dren? As you are pondering upon this problem the statistician again steps up behind you and says, as in the case of the blind, that about 6S out of every leo (taking the average throughout the land) of all these chil dren who are born deaf, are the vic tins of this sane great destroyer, the liquor traffic If the lower animals were fed on alcohol, as is the highe' animal, they would have deaf colts 1 and deaf calves and deaf pigs, and deaf lambs.

Remembered Toast.

In the sos l was in Washington at a dinner given by Senator Dawson of Georgia, writes a correspondent of the New York Sun. A number of guests were present, among them be- ing the noted actor James A. Mur- doch. Toasts were given, and the host requested that Murdoch recite Richard Brinsley Sheridan's toast, viz:
 The World: We came into it, naked and bare; We go through it with sorrow and care; When we die, we go, God knows where; If We arc thoroughbreds here, We'll be thoroughbreds there;
 If we are scoundrels here, We'll be scOundrels there.
 This toast was recited with his un. surpassed elocutionary power and graceful manner, and left memory that has been with me for years.

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS

Precipitation on the Pacific coast
and the Rocky mountain plateau,
with heavy rains on the coast of Cali
fornia, has attended the western storm
which shows separate centers over Al
berta and Nevada. Higher tempera-
lures prevail from the lake region to
the south Atlantic and east gulf coasts
and generally fair weather is observed
from the eastern Rocky mountain
slope to the Atlantic states, except that
snow f1urries are reported from west
ern Pennsylvania and western New
York. Owing to the approach Of the
western storm, partly cloudy weather
is indicated for this vicinity tonight
and Sunday, without much change in
/ temperature.
