4 CCORDING to the Commissioner of IN
- terna1 Revenue, u. S. Treasury Department,
the above figure represents the sum of money
paid in cash to the United States Government in
internal revenue receipts from 1862 to 1916 in
elusive, by the manufacturers of malt and distilled
liquors.
It is an uncomprehendable sum. It is beyond
the grasp of the human mind.
But every penny was paid in advance of the
sale of the manufactured goods and the revenue
went toward the support of the various depart
ments of the Federal Government.
Surely no person can deny that this industry
has paid literally in dividends to its govern
mental partner.
But large as this sum is, it is small compared
with the amount that all branches of the industry
have paid during these same years in local and
State license fees.
It is impossible to secure the exact figures of
this is the case with the U. S. revenue
receipts but authorities estimate that the amount
is double and perhaps three times as great.
It yields to each licensing community large
part of its total revenues and if the sum could be
ascertaned it would be staggering.
In addition to these, are the local and state
taxes. Brewing, disti11ing plants and property
used III the retail sale Of the products are all
assessed high, and much Of this value and con-
sequently much of the tax accruing would be
lost in case of the destruction of the industry.
Paying SO generously through all
these years and encouraged to THRICE and
deoelop and pay more; forced to exert
eOery energy to meet the conditions i'm.
posed and to earn The fixed dividends
Which its partner demanded; deUeyobine
and building from its o10u share of The
profits only, does it notD seem one tithe
more than a fair dealt gi0e Con,per-
satioTa in The eUent Of utter destruction
Of the entire business?
Think that over!

Past the poor 'dobe houses, through
the doors of which you get glimpses
Of family life unpleasantly intimate,
we go into the Via Diabolo, called by
Jack London the wickedest slura In
the world.
I cannot vouch for it's depravity, but
I should think it must be the dirtiest,
busiest, poorest, weirdest, rowdlest,
tawdriest and most heterogeneous, bar
ring possibly some sinister suburb OF
Algeria.
Gaming houses are the staple Sum
day attraction. Sweating crowds OF
men and women rim the tables, the lot
terry booths, the wheels of fortune-
and, to judge by most Of the patrons,
of misfortune-that fill the barnlike
shacks.
One man in five is some sort OF sol.
der, wearing some sort of fragmentary
uniform.
Poverty and Squalor.
/ Notice the rakish cartridge belts
some worn straight around In rows,
some over one shoulder, some over
both crossed back and front. Ammu-
milton is debited to the men, and they
have to take care of it! The begrimed
fellows, with the bits of leather
thonged about their bare feet, with
dirty serapes on their shoulders, are
Of the piteous peon class.
You have seen poverty and squalor
at home, but never such as this The
poor at home at least work in the hope
of overcoming their wretchedness.
Here all is sodden. No opportunity,
no ambition, no hope at all.
There are few prosperous gamblers
in the gaming dens who serve to set on
the sinister raggedness of the rest.
Sinister, because everyone totes q

to appraise thirstily the modest jewel
on your breast, the purse beneath your
pocketfap.

Fell Into the Bears Pit.
When spoke Of my visit to the bear
pit this afternoon lady recited the
story that has become a tradition In
Berne, but that is historically accu-
rate. She told 1t well and 1t was
much more stirring than the story OF
the horrible butchery by which thou
sands had lost their lives in Flanders
only the day before. So cruelty does
usage blunt human feelings!
On a night many years ago one or
the secretaries Of the British lega-
ton with a colleague from another le-
CATION stopped at the bears den. 1t
was about midnight. They had been
out to dinner and were much uL;er
the influence of wine. The English
man in a spo1ty spirit vaulted over
the iron rail at the top and then back
several times. The last time he was
tripped by his cune, which he held In
his hand, and fell % feet to the bottom
of the pit. He was not hurt by the
fall. The pit was empty; the bears
had gone into their sleeping cellars.
Neither diplomat was much alarmed
as It was found that the Englishman
wasn't injured by his fall. He was 80
bered, and cautioned the other not to
make too much noise while he explo. ed
the place to see If he could climb OFT
Some time was spent in this hunt
which was without result; but there
was still no sign from the sleeping
bears.

The co,lea que then went off to find
