NEW YORK, Aug 10-Two results

close their plants when the bill that
prohibits the manufacture of whiskey
during the war goes into effect, or
maintain their plants in the hope of
getting government contracts for the
manufacture Of alcohol that will go
into SIN okeless powder.
Many plants in Maryland already
have been closed, owing, it is said.
to the high price of corn and the fact
that large stocks of whiskey are being
held in bond.
Illinois and Kentucky distfllers are

At Peoria, Illinois, distillers said
their plants would be closed immedi-
ately when the law goes into effect
An effort will be made to obtain a
modification of the law at the next
session of congress They believe
this will be possible because of the
enormous corn crop forecast for this
year Pekin, Illinois, distillers are
said to have obtained government
contracts, but Peoria dealers say
they have not. Ernest Rfpey, Ken

REAL. DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.

Questions of price regulation and taxation all
bark back to the big, main question in which So
ciety is interested-the final distribution of the
fruits of industry with relation to the average
mans share. At the very beginning of any
discussion Of this sub ect, it is important to de-
termine what is real distribution. In current
discussion there is but slight recognition OF the
value to the community Of capital accumua-
tons, taking form as they must in improved
and enlarged facilities for general production
and public service. This community value Of
private wealth is understood by economists, and
it is understood by everybody in concrete
cases; every community appreciates the gain
from having a railway built into it, or water
power developed, but in general discussion it is
usually assumed that all the benefits of wealth
accommodations, even in these forms, go to the
owners There is little analysis of actual distri-
button. The emphasis is placed on the owner
ship of equipment rather than upon the distri-
button of the goods produced. Mere ownership
of productive property, however, only gives the
right to 60 ahead and produce something All
the benefits from productive properties come
out in the stream of products that issue from
4hem and the real distribution of the national
income takes place at the point of consumption
where these products are finally absorbed by in
dividualS and disappear from the common
store This view is illuminatngly set forth in
the monthly publication issued by the National
Citv Bank of New York. The banks writer
contends that whether man is a day laborer
or millionaire, he actually gets as his share of
current production what he consumes or with
draws from the common supply to his own eX-
elusive use and benefit and more. If he oc-
cupes seat in a railway car, he has taken that
much; if he keeps servant, he has taken that
much if he owns a motor car, he has taken that

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
OCEAN LIGHTS.

y.
Awaked before the rushing Prov.
The mimic fires of ocean glow,
Those lightnings of the wave;
Wild sparkles crest the broken tides.
And flashing round, the vessels sides
With elvish luster lave,
= lille, far behind, their livid light
TO the dark pillows of the night
A gloomy splendor gave.
Nor lacked they steadier light to keep
Their course upon the darkened deep;-
Artornish, on her frowning steep
'Twixt cloud and ocean hung,
Glanced with thousand lights of glee,
And landward far, and far to sea,
Her vestal radiance flung.
By that blithe beacon-light they steered
Whose luster mingled well
With the pale beam that now appeared,
AS the cold moon her head upreared
Above the eastern fell.

WAYCROSS BAR PAYS
TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
JUDGE w. w. LAMBDIN

Waycross, Jan. 20.-The Way

the following resolutions deplor-

w, w. Lambdin, a former resi-

TO the Waycross Bar Associa-
ton:
Your committee appointed to
draft resolutions on the death of
William Wallace Lambdin beg
leave to submit the following:
William Wallace Lambdin.
son of Charles =. and Martha
(Middlebrooks) Lambdin, was
born in Epson county. Georgia,
October 18th, 1861. His father
was a noted educator and the
founder Of Gordon Institute, one
OF the foremost preparatory
schools in the South. Naturally
the son received his preparation
for the University OF Georgia at
this school. After graduating
from the University OF Georgia at
the head OF his class and receiving
the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
1870, he began teaching school.
employing such odd hours as he
could spare from his duties as
teacher i'll the study of law. AS a
teacher he was equally as success
full as he afterwards became as a
lawyer. At the time he abandon
ed teaching he was principal of
the West End Academy in Allan
ia, Georgia. Always student,
enthusiastic in any work he un-
dertook, being possessed OF the
happy faculty of imparting know
ledge and interesting his pupils,
the youth of Georgia suffered a
great loss when the legal profess
sion in 1888 was made richer by
his addition to the ranks of illus
trlous lawyers OF this country.
An ndegatigable worker he was
always thirsting for more know
ledge; with receptive mind,
seeking always for that know
ledge which makes men good and
great, and with a generous and
wholesome disposition, he was
capable OF cxcusing the weakness
es and ignorance OF men less rich
" endowed. TennySon must have
have had in mind such another
man when he wrote:
And thou art worthy; full Ct

America in the War

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Parts Of a
recent speech by Dr.. Dernburg. Ger
many's ex-Colonisl Secretary and chief
Of the German propaganda in the
United States in 1915, h&ye reached
here. II was delivered in Karlsruhe
4 month ago and was devoted largely
10 minimizing Americas role IN the
war. DR.. Dernburc said:
Despite Americas aid 10 the Allies,
they have not been able to draw her
into tbeir net. The war aims
Of America and the Allies are not COM
pAtible with one another. America has
neither entered the Entente's alliance
in-arms nor identified herself with the
pact Of London of September 5, 1914.
America is not represented in the Al
lied War Council. and she has refused
10 sdopt the idea OF smashing Ger
many or of wsging economic warfare
on her after the war
"U-boat warfare has not accom-
plshed what an artificially manutect-
ured popular fantasy expected OF It,
but il has turned out TO be a terrible
brake on all the activities Of our enc
mics, and will in time, which can per-
haps already be measured, reveal Eng
lands readiness for peace. without
which the world will not be at rest.

Bolshevik Aims
Told to French
Envoy by Trotzky

PARIS Sunday, Dec. 90. - Leon
Trotzky, the Bolshevik Foreign Min
ister, according to a note issued by
the Havas Agency, called on Joseph
Noulens, the French Ambassador to
Russia. and explained that the Bolshe-
wiki wished to keep to the principle Of
democratic peace" leaving to the
peoples the right to dispose of them
selves. The ambassador having asked
him what he would do if Germany re-
fused such a peace, Trotzky answered
that then the peace would not be
signed and that the Maximalists might
be led to "wage revolutionary war"
Trotzky added that "if public opin-
ion was opposed to such a war, the
question would be carried before the
Assembly" He concluded
by saying that if the Bolsheviki sue
cumbed to the resistance they are
with in Russia the country
would be given over to anarchy.
The Havas note concludes:
"This conversation, which is correct
must be considered as
creating no new relation between the
Maximalist government and u.s."
