RUSSIA DRY FOR ALL TIME.

In a debate before the Russian
duma the minister of finance, M. Bark,
made this significant declaration:
Il deem it necessary to declare cate
gorically that all suspicious ascribing
to the government any intention of
resuming the state sale of liquors are
unfounded. l declare categorically
that the government will encourage
temperance after the war, also, and
that any return to the old state of af-
fairs is impossible. Proof of this in
tention is the fact that the govern
ment is now engaged in drawing up
a bill, on lines suggested by forty-five
members of the duma, for the main
tenance of temperance for all time.
This bill already has met with the
sympathy of the entire council of min
listers, and vodka, in accordance with
the cars wish, as expressed to me,
will be totally prohibited forever"

ALcoHoL AND PNEuMoNlA.

DR.. w. A. Evans conducts a depart
ment, How to Keep Well,". in Chica-
go Daily Tribune. Giving advice re-
Gently concerning measures for the
prevention of colds and pneumonia he
said:
Now is the time to get on the wa
ter wagon and to stay there. Whisky
and every other form of alcoholic
drink is a pneumonia begetter. Alco-
hol lowers the fighting d~efenses of the
human body against all forms of dis
ease, but especially against pneumonia.
This has been proved by careful scien-
tifc tests. 1t is a universally recog-
nized clinical fact. This is one of the
points on which the laboratory men
and the practicing physicians are in
full accord. II an ordinary mar gets
pneumonia chances are three to one
that he will get well. Whisky drink
ers who get pneumonia do not have a
three-to-one chance for life"

ON THE DoWNGRADE.

For a decade while prohibition area
was steadily spreading, the statistics
of the federal government showed the
manufacturers of intoxicants paying
taxes on a constantly charging guam
tity Of their products. And it sure
ly did make a hard nut for a prohibi-
ZIONIST to crack-to explain the reason
why the liquor trade got better while
saloons were all the time growing
fewer.-The Continent.
Not such a hard nut when it is
known that all liquor on which the
government tax has been paid is off,
cially reported as consumed" and
that during the decade referred to
large quantities were forced out of
the bonded warehouses by the time
limit and stored in private warehouses
awaiting a constantly decreasing de-
mand.
But" continues the Continent, with
pertinent emphasis, whatever was
the real secret of that paradox, the ne
cessity of explaining it has now quite
gone by. 1t is a fact no more. The
business of brewing and distilling is
at last on a ~toboggan slide which no
body can deny. The report of the COM
missioner of internal venue for 1915,
just issued, shows a decline in both
beer making and whisky making,
which demonstrates that prohibition
is now prohibiting with a vengeance
plainly marking the beginning Of the
end. The 1914 report already showed
some shortage in the whisky business;
from the year before there was a de-
cline Of 15,000,0 900 gallons. But the
e report proves how falling bodies
are accelerated as they fall, for the
decline in the year just past is 41,OOO,-
600 gallons-from ISL, 900, 900 to 14O.-
O00,0 600.
Even more significant is the record
ed item that within the year 1913 dis
tilleries quit business out of TAB such
institutions in the United States. And
meanwhile the quantity of beer made
in this country decreased from Sc, 0OO,-
600 barrels to $4,000, 900. This is. for
the brewers, their first setback, but 1t
furnishes sufficient notice that they
are ticketed for the same downgrade
that their distilling brethren are en-
barked on. The cry is Going DOWN.

Power of EVIL

The reason why we do not feel the
power of evil is partly because we are
not resisting it; we are sailing a good

cause it is like the pressure of the

NAVAL PRACTICE POPULAR IN
 EAST

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Enroll. ment of civilians for the forthcoming cruise on United States warships is proceeding with indications that the experiment is popular, and there is no doubt that the full quota of two thousand citizen sailors, ranging all the way from 19 to 45 years of age, will be ready to carry their dunnage bags aboard the practice fleet on Aug ust 15. The men will board the ships at the ports nearest their home, and in the months duration of the cruise will be given experience in almost every form of naval life from swab- ping decks to firing big guns. The enrolment thus far shows men of all trades and professions, many promi- nent and wealthy. who are enthusias- tic over this new plan of naval pre- paredness. Assistant Secretary Roose- welt, of the navy department, expects to spend at least some of the month as one of the citizen blue jackets.
 Rear Admiral J. NJ. Helm, who is at present in charge of the naval militia cruise, will be commander in chief of the civilian cruise also, and will use the same warships. The vessels and the ports from which they will sail are: The Virginia, from Portland, Maine: the Kearsarge, from Boston.

Bishop Peter T. Rowe arrived in Cordova this morning from Fairbanks via Chitina, on his regular annual trip over the territory.

Mrs. Rowe and his son are aboard the Evans, and he will join them and make the trip to the westward, stopping off at Val deg, Seward and Anchorage. At the latter city it is Bishop Rowe's inten- tion to organize a church. Lots al ready have been purchased for this purpose, and it is probable that Rev. Lumpkins, of Fairbanks, will be trans ferred to that post.
 On his return voyage Bishop Rowe will stop off at Cordova for several days, and will make the trip up the line to Kennecott and Chitina, leaving for Juneau on his return.
 Rev. E. P. Ziegler, of Cordova, will accompany Bishop Rowe to Juneau on his return, and will be ordained a priest by the bishop.
 Bishop Rowe disclaims any political ambitions in Alaska, and is emphatic In declaring that his name was men toned as a candidate for delegate to congress without his authority and against his wishes.

not engaged in the liquor business,
but considered as related to it. now
get advantage of the nonhazardous

We still hold to this view in the case
