EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.

During the wet and dry campaign
Of the state Of Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month of pro
hibition this is what the editor said:
I'VE fought prohibition ON economic
grounds alone. We believed that in
a great seaport city with a popula-
tion of upwards of 100000, prohibit
ton would be destructive: that 1t
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor traffic as
well controlled as It could be-; we
wanted to let 1t alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight. But in
spite of all we could do. prohibition
carried and went into effect January
1. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had $50 saloons and
we had an average Of $500 arrests a
month for crimes and misdemeanors
growing out of liquor drinking. In
January We had only 400 arrests and
90 OF these were made January 1.
and were the result Of hang-overs
from the old year"

You haven't pound of old antimony
lying around the shop, perhaps? The
foxy Chinese have cornered it because
of its great demand for munitions of
war-to say nothing Of type. Once it
was worth $125 ton; now you pay
5000 gold ton for the same. Why?
Because it Is mixed with steel for
shells, making it more brittle. Thus
1t breaks into smaller pieces when it
explodes. Nice thought for the men
in the trenches; what?
So they are working over old. worn
out type, here and abroad, and explod-
ed shell fragments, to get back this
near-precious metal.
Tungsten is used in making tool
steel, for which there is an enormous
demand. Before the war It brought
so cents a pound. Today it is SIS a
pound, and ton Of ore brings $4,000.
So precious is this metal that even the
assay offices are being secured for spe-
cimens. and every ounce of 1t is being
reclaimed that can be found. Brokers
do not sneer at a trade In one-pound
lots, and to quote the Waste Trade
Journal. "the purchasing agent of the

And. says the editor. there's an
overnight fortune for the man who can

junkman's trade. Two million dollars

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE
Whv haa Kanzpa The 1owasf death

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.
Why has Kanses the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
ton was asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had investigated the
report Of W. J. v. Deacon, state regis
trar of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.S
per 1000. The answer of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel L. Rogers. direc.
tors Of tle United States bureau Of
census. gave this reason among 9th
ers:
kansas is . prohibition state and
has been for. q generation. and In Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. do
not mean by this there Is no alcohol
consumed in the state. but the alb
sence Of the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who. in the absence of any bar room,
find more healthful pastimes than loaf.
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition Is that the
wage of the laborer or mechanic is not
dissipated, but goes to supply those
necessities OF food, clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the wellbeing OF
their families and themselves"

USING COMMON SENSE

From James l.. Wellington of
Swansea, Mass, on his 96th birthday
comes a simple receipt for longevity.
Don't be too fussy, he says, but just
use common sense in all your ways
of living"
IL sounds like an unconscious re-
petition of the rule of the ancient
Greek sage, Measure (moderation)
in all things. Just avoid extremes,
and keep to the middle of the long,
wide road.
But how many of us can follow it?
We can fast, or stuff ourselves, We
can sleep too little or too much. We
car live without medicine, or make
drug stores out of ourselves. We can
stay indoors altogether, or camp out.
We can work strenuously, or not at
all. We a do or refrain from do
ing any specific thing, especially if
it looks absurd or impossible. Any
extreme is easy. But to use COM
non sense in all our ways of living"
well, Solomon himself couldn't do
that.
A man So years old should have
learned long ago that there's nothing
so uncommon as common sense"
Aberdeen American.

COUNTY OPPOSES BONDS

That Hand county still retains its
early day prejudice against bonds
was forcibly emphasized in the vote
upon court house bonds at the recent
election. The proposition was de-
seated by more than 4 to l.. This has
since the county's organization. The
thrifty pioneer settlers OF this coun-
ty have decided several times to
forego the enjoyment of something
they really wanted until they were
able to pay for it. That same thrift
exists among the old timers today. 1t
may be merely sentiment, as some
young friends have said, but il is good
business sense, as they and their
children will admit in the years to
come, when the old boys who helped
establish the county have passed to
the great beyond.
The people of Miller city and Miller
township, wherein such a building
would be erected, voted with the rest
OF the county and gave a majority of
AZ against bonds. While every mar
who investigates the present court
house, and it's primitive equipment,
admits that the county needs a mod
ern building. they say lets scratch
along with the old one for a few
years, and then put up a good one with
our own money"
Hand is one Of the few counties in
the state without bonded Indebtedness
1t is a large county; 1t is rich; il
could build a 800, 900 court house, or
spend any reasonable sum it desired.
But when 1t does, the building will be
paid for.
A neighboring county took the other
method and borrowed $50, 900 at 6 per
cent to run 80 years. Take your
pencil and figure what that court
house will cost. The voters of the
county and city are to be commended
for their economic wisdom. We
would be eminently wise to practice
the same patience, economy and COM
mon business sense when luxury ap-
peals to us individually.

NOBODY HOME IN CALIFORNIA

Chicago Tribune: California is the
state which every now and then
causes the rest of the nation to won
der how the trouble it makes can be
safely handled. California hates the
Japanese. 1t offends and insults the
Japanese. 1t pays no attention to the
treaty obligations of the United
States.
Several times California in a stub
born and b%elligerent mood has almost
put the alternative OF war or humil-
iation up to the rest OF the nation.
Some day, when Japan is ready, a
California offense will result in the
seizure of the PHILIPPINES and Hawaii.
California makes the trouble and
expects the rest of the country to pro-
tect it. 1t may make a wal and drag
the rest of the country into it. Cali
fornia is our junker state in all ex-
cept willingness to strengthen the
ability OF the federal government to
meet the trouble 1t may make and is
perfectly willing to make.
California ought to have given the
Republican ticket a great majority. A
state which demands the privilege of
making trouble ought to be willing
to meet it. 1t ought to be willing to
take the consequences.
California now scenes to be con-
cerned chiefly for the right to blus-
ter. The normal condition of some lit
tie rotten spot in the interior of the
United States can be understood. But
California presents a long coast line
which it demands that the United
States defend. II wants a Pacific navy
1t seem to have voted for a pacific
navy.
How a state which when il is not
scared to death itself is soaring the
rest of the nation to death could have
given even two votes in a precinct
to the administration which maintains
J~osepphus Daniels as schoolmaster Of
the American navy is a question be-
ypnd normal intelligence.
BY giving Wilson the vote it did,
California, with its record and Will
sons record, presents itself as the
champion boob state of the American
republic.
The only thing needed for the per-
lection Of the irony was hat the work
ers who want Japs excluded, in Or
der that American standards of COM
fort shall not be lowered. should have
tried to deliver the state to the ad-
ministration which has tried to break
down national courage. Z.
California, which wants everything
for itself, is inclined In the direction
OF an administration which blandly
says that America demands nothing
for itself that 1t does not demand for
the rest Of humanity. What a sweet
vaporing of magnanimity for Califor-
