RusslNs PEASANT BANKS.

SIN IS months of 'water-wagOn' life
there have been founded 1900 peas
ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas
ant cooperative supply stations or
stores" says Ivan Narodny, secretary
OF the an-American-Asiatic cor
poratlon, In the New York Tribune.
These peasant banks are just now
forming a central administration, q
bank of banks, In Moscow, composed
of delegates from provincial banks.
The government has not yet been able
to grasp the whole extent Of these pc
cular institutions Of the people, both
sporadlcally and suddenly looming up
as something gigantic In national
economic life. .. The cash capital Of
these peasant banks amounts to 500,'
100000 rubles, while the value of their
accessories, real estate, securities, etc.,
reaches 1,000,000,000."
Most of the hatred against the Rus
sian jew. he tells us, originated in the
lending Of money by Jews to peas'-ts.
The peasant banks abolish automati.
cally all Russian Jewish troubles.
"If the czar had done nothing but
abolish alcohol" says the secretary,
''he would loom up in history us one
Of the great reformers."

Alco- Tenn
PROVING GOLD BRICKS.

1t Is authorltatlvely stated that
beer has fallen to fifth or sixth place
among the products Of the city Of
Milwaukee. One of the largest brew
cries in the city has been offered for
sale several times in recent years,
with no bidders. Another brewery
has sold all its stock to holders In
England and Germany. The. buyers
thought they bought gold mine,
whereas they bought a gold brick. The
prohibition sentiment. which has been
sweeping the West has made Itself
felt even in Milwaukee. 1t is a fact
not generally known that one OF the
largest brewerles in that city is using
an assumed name. The real owner
doesn't want his own name conpeeted
with the business.

WISE WORDS.

WISE WORDS.
"No temperance advocate In the
world has spoken wiser words thnn
those uttered by the German emperor
to the naval cadets" said Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels, speaking before
the national convention Of the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence union. The
words referred to, spoken November
21, 1910, at the dedication of the new
naval academy at Murvik, are in the
light Of the events of the past two
years most significant. We quote part
of the address:
"As you will observe In the course
Of your time on board, the service In
my navy has reached a degree Of
strain which can hardly be surpassed.
To be able to endure this enormous
pressure In time Of peace without wear
ing out. so that you may be fresh when
a serious call comes, Is your duty.
The next war; the next naval encoun-
ter, will require of you sound nerves.
These are undermined by alcohol, en-
dangered from youth up, by Its use.
You will later have opportunity to
see the marine targets and the ac-
ton Of modern guns on ships, and will
be able, therefore, TO infer the con-
dltlons In battle. You will see hor-
rible devastation and all kinds OF pic
lures. Then the word will be strong
nerves and cool heads. The nation
which drinks the least alcohol will he

POWERFUL ARGUMENT.

In all discussions of the liquor ques
tion there is enc powerful argument
on the side of those who favor the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic. wheth.
er the prohibition is applied to q large
area or small enc, namely, that the
man who opposes the sale Of liquor is
asking nothing for himself except re-
lief from injury at the hands Of the
others, while the man who insists up
on the sale Of liquor is asking some
thing for himself which cannot be
granted without injury to others

'ANTIS" TO BUTTONHOLE DELEGATES TO STATE
 DEMOCRAT CONVENTION

The board of managers of the Con- necticut Association Opposed to wom- ap Suffrage Is busy this week prepar- ing for the Democratic State Conven- ton in New Haven next week, and during the time the convention is in session will maintain headquarters in that city from which a campaign to lay before the delegates the real at ttude of the women hemtselves to- ward woman suffrage will be direct ed.
 It Is expected that some of the state officers and members of the board of managers will appear before the re- solutions committee at the convention to combat the efforts of the suffragists to have incorpofated in the platform a plank advocating woman suffrage. At the Republican convention last week such a.ction was taken, and the arguments presented presumably were so adequate that the platform of the Republican state party contains no reference whatever to woman suf- rrage. It is the claim of the anti-suf- fraee association that rme women themselves do not want the vote. in spite Of Che statements of the advo- cates of suffrage, and also that the question Is one to be decided by each state for itself, and not one to be fore ed upon the country by the acoption Of a constitutional amendment.

tics were followed. Soldiers from the provinces north of the Yang-tse were quartered upon the southern prov inces, just as in the Manchu days. It was a continuation of the old military domination. This system will not work Southern provinces will not submit longer to any such indignity, and there will never be any peace in China until new methods are adopted.

Tang ShaO-yi Looms Up as Director of Public Policies
 In the Orient.

Shanghai China, Sept. 14-Tang Shao-yi, who was the first premier under the Chinese republic, but incur red the displeasure of Yuan Shi-kai and had been out of favor for a per- iod of four years, has again loomed big in Chinese affairs and is the cen ter of the crowd of ultra republicans at Shanghai who are endeavoring to direct the reorganization of the re- public.
 Tang Shao-yi was educated in Am erica, and Aecame we'll known in of ficial circles there when he was sent to Washington in 1908 to thank the United States government for return ing to China the portion of the Boxer indemnity money which exceeded the actual losses suffered by American citizens through the Boxer rebellion Associated with Tang Shao-yi, in the present effort to direct the reor- ganization of the Chinese government along more democratic lines are Dr.

 China does not want a continuation of government similar to that main tained under the Manchu emperors.

INSANITY IN IRELAND.

Dublin, Ireland, Sept. 14-Insanity in Ireland has lately shown a decrease ch1eny among women. This is something new, as 1reland's statistics for insanity have always been unusu- ally high. The superintendent of the asylum at Belfast declares the reason for the decrease is due entirely to the improved standard of living and tc the restrictions on the liquor traffic Many people who lived in poverty, are now in comparative luxury. There are, he declares, solid grounds for the hope that, especially among women Ireland will witness a great diminu. ton of neurotic disorders.

SEND
 BRITAIN MONEY TO 1
 AID IN GREAT WAR

LOnQOn, sept. 14-OIHClalS or tHe treasury have been surprised by the steady inflow of gifts from all parts of the empire and from former Brit ish CTS in neutral countries in the form of cash towards meeting the expenses of the war. The e$donors range from men and women to small boys and girls, the former sending sums mount ing up as high as a thousand pounds and the latter remitting the contents of their savings banks. A total of many thousands of pounds has been sent. Sums ranging from a shilling to a thousand pounds are acknowledged with the same promptness and polite ness by the treasury.
 Many gifts are accompanied with notes explaining that they are design ed as substitutes for personal service at the front, and one man in Canada explains. that sum of 200 pounds is intended for schooling obtained in England half century ago.
 A firm in Sandakan, British North Borneo, sent 500 pounds, explaining that as that territory contributes noth- ing towards the finances of the em-
 pire while enjoying all benehts of British protection, they wished to be allowed to discharge a portion of their obligation in this war. A Britisher writes from St. Louis in the same tone with a contribution of 100 pounds.
 The municipality of Matsqui, Brit ish Columbia, sends 52 pounds. The natives employed at Tanning Island, who live in the Gilbert Islands, have sent two gifts.
 A Baptist minister in Ontario sends $500. From Summit, New Jersey, an American citizen sends a substantial check made payable to the British Empire. A husband and wife send rom China check in four figures. From Saskatchewan an old man qc-
 companies a check for 20 pounds with the explanation that it is to help beat the Kaiser.
 A little girl who writes that she is seven an has two uncles fighting, sens from an island a shilling from her sav- ings bank. There are many gifts from officers on active service, some send ing a years pay. Among gifts from retired officers, one writes from a far
 country to say that he desires to aid the war fund because, after having
 been made deaf from gunfire as a gum ner officer, he had been refused ser vice now on account of his lack o1 hearing. A working man, sending 20 pounds in an anonymous letter, ex- plains that he never believed in war
 loans as long as gifts would be ec- cepted.
 Many of the gifts are sent in the
 form of monthly donations, one mar in Asia having instructed his banker: to remit a certain sum to the treasury monthly until the end of the war
