This kind Of public opinion means that more and moro people are seeing the folly Of the sa- loon evil, in these days, They are coming to appreciate the bene- fits which come when the saloon is wiped out; that they are hap pier and more prosperous; that there are fewer criminals and less insanity; that they have bank accounts instead of owing bills.

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA

The good which comes from wiping out the saloons is brought to us even more clearly when we read -' what has happened in Rus sin siuc. universal prohibition has come into force. The governor ol Musk wrote in letter pub usbed in the Prohibition organ, the New Republc":-
 "The universal prohibition of the sale of whisky throughout the gov srrmeu- has an undoubtedly posi- tive influence upon the amount of crime, the percentage of the dim mutton of which is no less than 50. The prohibition of the sale of whisky has a similar effect upon the s9briety and the general or der among the population of the government of Minsk.

WONDERFUL LAND OF GOLD

When one reads Of the fabulous latent wealth of the valdez cOun- try or the Upper susitna country he would believe that these were the places to drive his stakes. But if you will come to Alaska and enter into conversation with those who have prospected most extensively in Alaska and you ask them what par, of tho territory will prove to be the greatest mining district they will point to the great Alas kan range of mountains and, shak- ing their heads will say. T wish l were 20 years younger for THERE Is whare the real BIG thing will bs found" They know it IS there. They have seen it them selve- outcroppiug from the mountain sides, but they have grown old waiting for rransporta- ton to it and now feel that it will be eft to younger men to un- cover some of the largest and rich est gold Iedges yet found in Alas sa.

WHY DANIELS Is ATTACKED.
KANSAS City Post.)

KANSAS city POSI-
1t is not hard to find why the steel
trust is attacking the secretary OF the
navy, Josephus Daniels. Since Mr.
Daniels took office, he has been buslly
engaged fighting the aggressions OF
patriots" who have things to sell the
government at handsome pro1ts.
Among them has been the armor plate
trust.
Secretary Daniels told of his contin-
ued fight for lower armor plate prices
in hearings of Senator Tillman's bill
for government manufacture of armor.
The detail shows why for several
years every species of underhand at
tack has been directed at the secre-
tary. No man can stand between the
powerfully conferred interests of quasi
monopoIies and huge profits without
paving the price in the way of all man
ner of insinuations. Mr.. Daniels said:
In 1906 we had the first competition
for armor. The Midvale company DID
S346 per ton. This brought the price
down from $500.
IF competition had continued the
price would never have been higher
than S346, and the government would
have saved S21 zoe, 200. This sum, paid
to armor makers in excess of fair
price, has practically paid for the
plants of all three of the companies
making armor.
IF the government had erected a
plant of it's own in 1894 the govern
ment today would own three armor
plants.
I'm 1897 congress fixed the price at
$500, but the manufacturers refused to
sell any until congress increased the
limit to $500, and it afterward took off
the limit
Thinking they stood in no danger
from a government plant, the com
panies put up the price to $454 in 1912.
when l became secretary of the
navy 1 secured a reduction to S440 and
then to s425, and now the Bethlehem
company holds out the tempting bait
of 1886 for five years now that they see
congress will no longer stand for ex-
tortionate prices.
But after five years, what guaran>
tee would the government have that
the prices would not again go soar
ing?"
Every man knows the answer.
The armor plate makers have rob
bed the taxpayers of S70,000000 in the
last 20 years, Secretary Daniels said.
There is only one thing which will
save the people from being robbed
over and Overland that is government
competition.

INCIPIENT TUBERCULOSIS.

tall, slender girl of 10, recently
graduated from high school, had been
rather frail, her mother stated, for
several years. Present complaint: Her
mother was anxious because the girl
was less vivacious and ambitious than
formerly. The girl felt tired out all
the time. She frequently complained
of a stitch or soreness in the right
side and under the right shoulder
blade. She was inclined to feel chilly
at times in the summer when her
friends were all too warm.
No, she had no cough. she declared.
The mother admitted that the girl Oc-
casionally cleared her throat. But
nothing was ever really coughed up.
Much against her own wishes the
girl was made to remove all clothing
to the waist line. She insisted there
was nothing the matter and that moth

sound heard over the right apex
(above the collar bone).
Blood examination revealed a reduC-
ton of red corpuscles and of hemO-
gIobin to 65 per cent of the normal.
No diagnosis was $ossible as yet
The patient was ordered to take a va
cation from her office work and to
keep a record of the temperature with
the assistance of a nurse friend. After
a week the report of the nurse showed
a daily rise of from one to one and
one-half degrees of temperature-it
ran from 99.4 TO 100 at the highest
Examination of the naked chest now
repeated showed no new sign. In the
week, in spite of rest and a fair APP
petite. the patient had lost one-half
pound in weight The pulse rate was
continuously above 80. That was 10
beats too fast.
Further cross examination OF the
mother now ELECTED the fact that an
aunt with tuberculosis had lived with
the family for about year some 10
years previously. The girl was her
crony.
diagnosis of incipient tuberculo-
sis was now made, and the family so
informed, though the girl herself was
told she had anemia in a marked de-
gree and must give up work for the
summer and go to the country TO live.
A half truth is better than whole lie.
She did so. protesting against the
sentence, but deferred TO her parents
wishes. At 10 girl likes company.
In three weeks she gained eight
pounds in weight, and her blood came
up TO so per cent She was eating
like a hired man" In six weeks she
gained in all Is pounds. and her blood
reached 90 per cent, which is the av-
erage strength OF the blood in women
engaged in indoor occupations
This gain was maintained through
the following winter. Yet in all that
time the physical signs on examina-
tion of the chest showed no change.

there is now "a new-comer-Jim CIeve
Joan's lover. Such is the desperate
and highly charged situation. which is
sui more intensified by the Shift of
scene when the~Dorder legion repairs
10 new mIning-camp. where a recent
gold-strlke has drawn thousands of
crazed and greedy men. Into this COM
munlty the legion insinuates itself by
ones and tWos, to pursue its stealthy
work or robbery and murder under the
direction the willy Kells. Mean
Wnlle understanding has come to Jim
CleVe, and he learns that it is Joan S
love for him that has brought about
her predicament. For both further
assimilation is necessary, since they
are now between two fires-the border
legion, to which they ostensibly be-
long, and the mining camp which is
eventually aroused against the secret
band.
The story plunges from one crisis to
another. Kells' banda desperate,
motley crew-are not wholly unre-
Heved in their blackness. They have
their redeeming traits, awakened-if
only for fleeing moment-by Joan, a
strangely appealing character against
so grim a background. And il is
through her that Jim Cleve also comes
10 prove the true man in him, and thus
Justifies Joan's impetuous pursuit of
him, and the perilous sequel which in

a strenuous one, but it is an exhilar-
ating and splendid tale such as we
meet with all too seldom.

WEIGHING OF THE MILITARISTs.

A f1abby dependence upon others to
supply the funds required to safeguard
liberty, home and country is poor
foundation upon which to rest hopes OF
physical support in the hour of dan
ger. The cost of modern ornaments is
very great, but in safety, pride and,
above all else, in the development OF
true national spirit, the expenditure
may easily be made as invigorating to
democracy as it is in strengthening to
national defense.-New York World.
And there we have the conclusion
of the argument designed to drive
home the view that now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of
their country. The World is convinced
that the $21O, 000,0O0 it is proposed to
spend for defense should be paid into
the national treasury by the masses.
The World argues that il the rich are
permitted to build battleships the poor
people will become tiabby. 1t holds to
the view that the income tax eXemp-
ton should be very low. 1t was only
few months ago that it was argued
glibly that the swollen income should
be drawn upon for a national defense
fund Now it is proposed to increase
the tax upon the workingman in order
to make him more patriotic. The work
ing man WOuIO pay an increased IdA
gladly if he were convinced the nation
needed his contributions. The work.
ingman knows, however, that the in
tereSts responsible for the demand the
United States spend more money for
battleships than any nation ever spent
on its navy during a time of peace are
weIching a bit. The millionaire, not
content with the fact that their patri
otism is to undergo a hardening pro-
cess as result of an increase in the
income tax, generously propose that
all men be permitted to share in the
glory of the new navy by being COM
PEELED to chip in on the bills. The
Worlds argument is far from convinc-
ing as far as the man who is shy his
portion of the 10000,000 tax levy
concerned. And is it not a bit early
for the World to be sounding the re-
treat of the money hosts that a few
short months ago were rushing so va
liantly to the defense of the country?
Is not the World really confessing that
the greatest navy in the world is fine
thing for the people who build the
ships? The average workingman, aft
er he has had time to think matters
over a bit, is quite likely to conclude
that there are a whole lot of things he
needs a whole lot worse than he needs
a world-compelling battle fleet
