The Liquor Traffic.
HIN. Neal Dow

The policy of prohibition rests
upon the fact that the liquor traffic
is in violent antagonism to every
interest of the nation, state and
people; that it is impossible to
reconcile it with the general good /;
that il is the fruitful source of
poverty, pauperism, suffering,
crime, insanity and premature
death; that its whole influence is
TO drive out from among the peo-
pie every good thing, and to sub.
stitute for them every bad thing in
every possible degree of degrada-
ton, shame and sin, at the same
time that no good does or can
come from it to any public interest.
We say, then, that such a traffic
should not be licensed and estab-
lfshed and protected by law, but
should be absolutely forbidden and
suppressed.
do not understand how any
man who has a clear notion of
right and wrong, and of his re-
sPonsibility to God, can approve
the establishment by law of trade
which is the inevitable source of
infinite misery to the human fami-
ly. 1t the evil must be done,
and will be done. let it be against
the law, like theft, robbery, arson,
murder, and not under the sane
ton of law--like the greater evils
coming from the licensed liquor
traffic.

CHARGES THAT MEN ROBBED

Jamesburg, Nov. 7:-Marshal
George Bender arrested a colored
man bearing the title of Uncle Tom"
and Charles Varrilgal, aged twenty
five, who were charged by vachiel
Dufffe, wanderer, with stealing $23
from his person while drinking at a
local hotel.
According to the complaint the
three men were having a jolly time
at the hotel when Duffie made known
the fact that he was without home
This so worked on the feelings of the
two former men that they invited
Duffie to. spend the night with them
at upper Jamesburg at Possum Hol-
low.
According to "Uncle Tom" his
newly found friend tried to make his
house dog drunkard by feeding him
beer as soon as the party reached
home. This was too much for the
men and they threw Duffie out into
the dark night and when he awake
he was minus his money. The COM
plaint was made and the arrest fol-
lowed
At the hearing before Justice of
the Peace Paxton at Borough Hall
the men were held for the grand jury
and the complainant was also Jailed
and held until Sunday afternoon,
when Recorder Asson released the
men on the payment of all costs that
were lodged against the borough.
Duffie was held as a material witness
and the release Of the men was the
only means of solving the mixup.

MEXICO REPLIES
TO U.BOAT NOTE
Great Britain Warned General
Carranza of the Danger
in Gulf of Mexico.

Mexico City, Nov. 7.-Foreign Min
lister Aguilar replied to Great Britain's
note demanding that Mexican neutral
ity be vigorously enforced as regards
the German submarine believed to be
operating In territorial waters Of the
southern republic.
The British note, sent through Sec
retary OF State Lansing and warning
against aid or assistance being afford
cd to the Teuton submarine, created
strongly unfavorable feeling, which
expressed itself in Aguilar's reply.
The Carranza foreign minister first
pointed out that he failed to see why
the British note should have been sent
through the state department of the
United States instead of direct to the
Mexican foreign office. He declared
Mexican neutrality would be enforced,
but pointed out that Mexico could no
more be held responsible for German
operations of her coasts than could
the United States be held responsible
for the recent activities of the U-53
on Nantucket after that undersea
fighter had entered an American port.
The reply, with thinty veiled sar-
casm, suggests that the best way to
assure continued friendly relations be-
tween the two governments is for the
British feet to prevent German sub
marines from leaving their bases, thus
eliminating any chance for disagree
ment.
The Carranza foreign office, 1t added.
will, however, permit no violations Of
neutrality by any warshlps Of the bel
Hgerent nations.

What did people eat before they had
the potato as a staple article of diet !?
Apparently they had most of the vege-
tables that we have now. OF London
ers in the time Of the Tudors, Sir Wal
ter Besant tells us that they ate lettuce
as separate dish before the meat,
used turmp leaves as a salad and
roasted the turnip itself In wood ashes
Horseradish and carrots were known
to them, and capers were served boiled
In oil or vinegar. Cucumbers, radishes.
parsnips and cabbages also figured at
the Tudor meal table, for which, by the
way, they boiled their oysters and
spread their beef with honey. 1t would
be fun In these days to eat-or refuse
