ON CONFISCATION.

One of the arguments against pro-
hibition is that 1t confscates property.
1t has been well pointed out that this
argument overlooks the fact that pro-
hibition does not take from the brew
ers, distillers and saloon keepers a
foot of ground that they own or a
single brick out of any of their build
ings. They have their property just
as they had it before, but they cannot
use it for the same purpose. However,
there are other purposes for which it
can be used. When the saloon is
driven out the building can be used
for the sale of things that are helpful,
and the buildings now used for distil.
leries and breweries can be utilized
for other business enterprises, as they
have been in states that have adopted
prohibition, with distinct profit to the
property owners.

CONDITIONS IN KANSAS.
Have you noticed the Appalling
Conditions in Kansas" says the To-
peka Capital.
We'll if you haven't, the brewers
have. 1t is awful. The publicity
agent of the Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' association in 1916, serial No. 70,
lays bare all the details. And awful
is no name for it. The state is a
regular shambles, as a result of pro-
hibition. %Infanticide is a popular
sport, fall and summer. No baby's
life is safe in Kansas, the publicity
expert has learned. Relatives thirst
for the lives of the little ones. Dirt,
restitution and disease prevail. Flash
lily dressed lassies prowl the streets
in droves in search of their prey, and
no man is SAFE"
The Capital goes on to quote some
of the scare headlines of the Liquor
Mems publicity serial and concludes:
Kansas might as well face the
proposition squarely. Any attempts at
Improvement made in the state, no
matter along what lines, will be seized
upon by the liquor interests to show
that the conditions existing in the
state r appalling and the 'appall-
ing is due entirely to prohibition. 1t
is understood the next serial issued
will explain how it was that the
prairie fires in western Kansas were
due to the state prohibitory amend
ment. You may not see the connec
ton, but the bright young man en-
ployed as publicity agent for the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers as

New French Army Helmet.
SiXty-four operations are necessary
in making one of the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
first step, says Pearson's Magazine, is
stamping out disks from great sheets
of steel. A machine that exerts a pres

and can cut out 5000 disks a day,
does that work.
Each disk is placed under a shap-

Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in a special mixture that makes it a

then fastened on, and the helmet is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the num-

RANDLE miracle MAN OF SEA"

Capt. William G.. Randle, dean of
American mariners. knighted by the
queen of Holland for bravery at sea,
a former United States naval officer
and a shipbuilder of note, has retired
to private life after serving for the
last il years as marine superintendent
of the New York Shipbuilding COM
pany's plant at Camden, n. ].
After Sc years of labor, the vet
r a sea captain, at his home in Ches-
ter, Pa, will spend the remainder of
his days, surrounded by pictures of
his treasured ships, testimonials from
those to whom he rendered the great
est service, trophies of war and fond
memories. He Is now s~eventy-eight
years old.
Captain Randle has been the
miracle man" of the sea in his day.
1t was he who first guided a steamship
across the deep without a rudder.
While he was captain of the American
line steamship Paris which still runs

between Philadelphia and Southampton, the ship lost its rudder when 1000
miles out at sea early in 1894. He navgated the ship safely back Il Queens
town, without any discomfort to the hundreds of passengers o. board.
When the Spanish-American war broke out, Captain Randle voun-
day war was declared.
Captain RandIe was assigned to the St Louis as its navigating officer.
While the ship "a under fire many times, and wa attached to Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet during the blockade of Santiago, Cuba, it escaped damage.
The biggest and most thrilling rescue at sea in which the veteran
mariner eve participated was the one that won him knighthood. Captain
Randle, with the aid of his crew o the ST. Louis saved 212 souls, including
the passengers and crew, of the Dutch steamship Veendam, of the Holland
American line, at SCI at midnight on February 10, 1905. 1t required three
