The New York Tribune and the Chicago
Tribune are notorious for their fasehoods
about the people of the South. This sec
ton is derded for itslawlessness, ignorance
and general wretchedness, according to
their hypocrtical viewpoints. But we ven-
ture the assertion that there is not city
in the South that has as bad a record as
that OF Springfield, llIinois-the home of
Abraham LINCOLN and the Mecca of Black
Republican ''patriotism." 10 that city of
10000 people, or 10000 families, the rec
ords show that in 1913 no less than 1,764
families received some kind of charita BILE
aid. This means that nearly Is per cent
OF the people were in state of semi
pauperism. The factors assigned as the
cause of this were sickness, widowhood,
aatemperance, desertion, unemployment,
mental deficiency and crippled condition.
And the revelation, which is not pleasant
one, does not include the mobbing of ne

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Baltimore Sun: 1t doesn't take as much
to unmake good life as it does to make it.
The Louisville Courier-Journal's advice
to public speakers: "When you don't
know what to talk about, talk aboutthree
minutes"
Crittenden (Miss.) Press Record: Four
thousand four hundred hens, 3lS roosters,
weighing over 1000 pounds for hens and
BOOSTERS; and over 10000 eggs, for which
over So, 900 was paid out in cash, is what
we call a pretty good day in receipts in the
poultry business and represents what one
local trader received, shipped out and paid
for one day last week. Who said poultry
and eggs did not bring in the money?
Temperance Union: Twelve of the nine
teen dry states have laws prohibiting all
liquor advertising within their borders.
The Abercrombie bill now before Congress
would prohibit transportation through the
mails of publications containing liquor ad-
vertisements into these states. The y nited
States Government has prohibited the plac-
ing of liquor advertising calenders in fed
eral buildings. Nearly 900 daily newspapers
of the country have publicly announced a
non-liquor advertising policy, and the list
| is lengthening rapidly.
Edgefield Is. c. Advertisers: Several
years ago when prohibitions were doing
their utmost to create an anti-whisky sem
timent, some liquor men would point with
evident satisfaction to the fact that in spite
of the campaign against whisky drinking
the consumption was on the increase. That
may have been true then, but this cam
paign of education has been productive of
visible results, curtailing consumption.
According to the government statistics, the
consumption of whisky in 1913 amounted
to the enormous quantity of 143 ,O5e
gallons, while in 1915 the figures were
1875, 1918 gallons During last year los
distileries and forty-one breweries went
out of business. Notwithstanding that the
population is on the increase, there is now
very decided decrease in the consumption
Of intoxicating liquors.

The Wall Street Journal is authority for
the statement that less than three centuries
ago the whole of Manhattan Island sold at
value of S24. At this time parts of the
island are worth $40, 100000 an acre. There
are $4,000 acres on the island, but not all
OF them have reached the figure named.
Nevertheless the facts afford striking it,
lustration of the artificial appreciation of
values in real estate and the problem of the
unearned increment.

The Senate last Thursday defeated the
movement to make October 18th, "Colum-
bus Day. State holiday. 1.-The Senate
responded to the argument that the State
has too many holidays now, and it would
be unwise to add another to the list" says
news item. The sensible thing to do
would be to abolish nine -tenths of the hol-
days already in existence, which are not
wanted or observed by the people, and
which exist only to the detriment of legiti-
mate business and the encouragement of
idlenees and dissipation.

Shortcuts, or what seem so, are very
deceptive. Most people who have lived
any great length of time have found this
out by sad experience. They have dis
cerned the difference between sham and
reality; between false success and true.
1t is fairly easy to get the former for the
latter we must pay in genuine coin. Short
cuts to wealth by the path Of speculation
are very speoious, very al!uring, but they
usually lead to disaster. The danger with
the shortcut process is that the success
reached by it is more seeming than real,
and does not stand the hard tests of actual
life. 1t is better to go a little bit slower
and have something to show for it in the
end. The point is to get there safely and
permanently.

NEW Law means
MORE MONEY FOR
NATIONAL GUARD
Act of June 8 Bases AlIotments
Not on Representation In
Congress, But Strength

Substantial benefits will be derived
by the National Guard of Hawaii, as
concerns larger allotments, by the
new national defense act passed June
3, National Guard authorities here be-
lieve today.
Today is the date, June 80, on which
report is to be made to Washington
of the strength of the National Guard
of Hawaii in enlisted men and Off
GERS. On this report will be based
the sums of money allowed this terri
tory for guard uses in the ensuing
year.
The new act does not provide, ac-
cording to National Guard headquar-
tiers here, for the continuance Of the
permanent annual appropriation made
under Section 1861, Revised Statutes,
but on the other hand provides under
Section 81 thereof that the appropria.
ton provided for shah be apportion-
ed among the several states and terri.
tories under just and equitable spro-
cedure to be prescribed by the Secre-
tary Of War, and in direct ratio to the
number of enlisted men in the active
service in the National Guard existing
in such states and territories at the
date of superintendent of said appro.
priation.
Due to the enactment of the law
quoted the allotment to the territory
in the future instead of being fixed
by the Secretary of War must be APP
portioned in direct ratio to the num-
Der of enlisted men in active service
of the National Guard of the Terri
tory, and therefore will not be fixed
sum as heretofore.

THE commerce of the whole world

statements made today by ]. K. But

Oahu Railway Company, who came
here a few days ago to take an entire.
" new position that had been created
for him. -. ....... II.
Butler came here from the Southern
Pacific and is well informed in the
ways Of world shipping. He says
there are not half enough boats on
the water to carry available freight
in many lands, especially in the ORR
ent, and predicts equal interest in ship
ping long after the war has ceased.
There will be just as much peace
goods to carry then as there are war
goods now he says, :s.-"*s
The traffic man says big shippers
in the islands are already finding diff.
