dian. but a white man. Indeed. l may
say a very white man. for he was fax
en- haired and had some characteristics
of an albino. He was clad In rags, was
very emaciated and bore every trace of
prolonged hardship. So far as could
understand the account of the natives
he was a complete stranger to them

make it too lengthy, but will do so from time to time, as occasion de mands, and we have endeavored to avoid the making of any more theor- etical statement, but have confined our discussion to the pointing out of those lines of work that can actually be put into practice under present conditions, and to a statement of those lines of work that can be successfully under taken when some of our present draw backs have been overcome.
 The possibilities of this country are vast indeed, and when our people fully realize their opportunities, and set themselves to the task of developing their potential resources, an era of prosperity bringing in it's wake con- tentment and happiness will abound.

CAPITAL AND LABOR BENEFIT.

When the BrunswickBalke- Collen der company some time ago announced it's intention of disseminating the man. ufacture of bar fixtures, because there was no longer a demand for them since prohibition had closed so many saloons. the liquor press sent up a howl declaring that prohibition had thrown hundreds of men employed by this company out of work Investiga- tion has shown, however. that the company had received immense orders for Edison photograph cases and sim liar work and that not one man has been discharged as a result for the diversion of the work into different channels. Not only this, but it is asserted that the number of men en- ployed will be increased rather than diminished, and the change is general. ly considered by business men of Du- buque as favorable to the labor mar. ket

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.

The liquor interests have unwilling ly given prohibition in West Virginia much valuable publicity. Their frantic efforts to prove that deficit in the state treasury is due to the loss of liquor revenue has called forth from loyal citizens of the little mountain state" strong testimonials on the sub ject. In the light of the moral, social and economic benefits derived from the prohibitory law, testified to by men of every class, deficiency of a few thousand dollars seems of com paratively little importance.
 As a matter of fact the loss of the $600,O00 a year in revenue to West Virginia as result of the adoption of the constitutional prohibition amend ment does not impose upon the indi- vidual taxpayer any burden worth con- sidering. In letter written by the state auditor, which has recently been made public, he shows that five cents additional state taxes on the hundred dollar valuation will take care of the money loss on liquor licenses. This would cost a man whose property was assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; if he has $2,000 worth, he would have to pay one dollar and if he had $10,000, he would be obliged to eXpend five dollars. So much for the enormous load of taxation being thrust up n the property owners of the state because of prohibition. The payment of such insignificant amounts would certainly appeal to q level-headed business man as a mighty good investment.

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

As one state after another outlaws the drink traffic the astonished liquor men ask, Whats the matter; any way?" That question is easily an swered. The thing tbats all wrong is liquor itself. and the people are find ing it out. The dispensary plan; the high license plan; the government owned saloon; the family liquor store; Sunday closing; early closing; strict supervision; abolishment of free lunch, music, tables and games; the system of having only one saloon to 20 many population; local option-al of these are mere subterfuges. They are quack remedies. They do not gc to .Ao root of the evil which is liquor itself. The only cure for the liquor evil is tho complete prohibition of its manufacture and sale in the whole ma tion.-Kansas Tity (MoO Times.
