Your spirit so gentle and lovely
Now rests on the beautiful shore.
Sleep on, our dear Miss Katie,
Life's noble deeds never die.

CONFERENCE TAKES UP CUES
TION OF WAR PROHIBITION.
Reported by the Associated Press

New York, May 21.-A Conference
on Prohibition during the war was
held here today between a committee
Of sixty, representing the Council of
National Defense and representative
of the United States Brewers Asso-
citation. The brewers reminded mem
bers of the Council that the brewers
had placed themselves unreservedly
at the presidents service and added:
"They are prepared to make any
sacrifice for the country's sake that
competent authority after investiga-
ton may demand. They insist that
any attempt to force the administra-
ton into radical action without due
inquiry and consideration in order to
exploit a favorite theory is not only
michievously but decidedly unpatrio-
tic"
The theory alluded to, the brewers
said, was that the brewing industry
was using up large proportion of the
nations cereals.
In presenting their statement the
brewers said they were "well aware
that the committee of sixty is a pro-
hibition body, sedulously seeking to
bring about the adoption of that sys-

LITTLE FooDsTUFF USED.

The brewers told the committee
their actual consumption of foodstuffs
last year was less than $4,000, 900
bushels of grain. They added that bas-
ed upon the governments estimate of
a 1917 production of 100000 barrels
of beer proposed federal liquor taxes
would yield more than s137,500,00.
The statementpointed out that the
brewers cooked grain that is turned
over for feeding of cattle, stimulates
the flow of milk.
at would be reasonable to suppose"
the statement says, that one result
which would follow the stoppage of
brewing would be an increase in the
price of milk in many cities" 1t
points out further that the European
nations at war serve rations of beer
or light wines to their troops "Show-
ing that they regard the light alcho-
lie in some form as a necessity"
There are evidences" the state
ment concludes, that there is much
corn still held on the farms in this
country because of the difficulty in
transporting it to market. 1t must be
plain from this and other circum-
stances that the chief problem in re-
grad to the food supply relates to
transportation and the prevention of
speculation"

Progress And the Negro.

Detroit Free Press, May 22-It takes
years for great movements to produce
visible results. In the South a gregar-
ious, pleasure-loving improvident race
has seemed to be but slightly affected
by the economic and industrial
changes Of the time. The Negro has
been the unskilled laborer, the poor
tenant farmer, raising his bale or
two Of cotton and turning it over to
the local buyer in liquidation of his
debt for the years living expenses
Tuskegee, Calhoun and Hampton are
producing class trained in trades,
efficiency and initiative, whose in.
fiuence is leaven slowly permeating
the mass for industrial uplife and
awakening in the Negro a sense Of
his economic value. The labor short
age has been an advantage to him.
Seven thousand Negroes applied to
the Federal Department of Labor last
year in regard to opportunities for
employment; testimony to the spread
of industrial education.
