because n man can drink q large guam
tlty of beer without getting drunk He
can stick around and talk or play cards
for the greater part of an evening and

saloon Is not success.
Midas Criterion champion of dis
tillers:
Any man who has had any expert
ence in drinking knows it Is possible
to get exactly as drunk on beer as on
whisky. If we were to decide between
the merits of the beer drunk and the
whisky drunk, we would say candidly
that the mushiest and sloppiest kind Of
a drunk In the world is the beer drunk.

PIANO SALES INCREASE.

According to travelling representa-

converns who have recently been in
San Francisco, says the Musical
Times, piano sales in the western
states that have Joined the dry ranks
show marked increase. They report
that business in Colorado, Arizona,
Washington and Oregon was never
better and that retailers, many of
whom opposed prohibition, are now
heartily In favor of the change. More
pianos are being sold, it is asserted,
initial payments are larger. collections
are much better and fewer instru-
ments are returned.

Miss Rankin,s Sex Limitation.

Brooklyn Eagle: Modest, indus
trious, of quick intelligence, and not
affected by the cacoethes loquendl,
Miss Jeanette NJ Rankin of Montana
the one woman member of the house
of representatives, is true and falr
representative of her sex. She loves
the right, she hates the wrong; she
wants the best in legislation.
And yet Miss Rankin's first vote
was against the resolution of war on
Germany, and her first great speech
made was in essence a defense of the,
Industrial Workers of the World, an
arraignment of the owners Of copper
mines. a. demand that the government
seize such mines and operate them in
the common interest. Shocked by the
flynching Of Little, repudiating other
acts of anti-I. w. w. violence, she
chose to ignore every suggestion OF
the truth that the I. w. W. is formally
arrayed against government and
against society.
Let us be frank. Let us call Miss
Rankin's exhibitions of one-sidedness
sex-limitations, due to super-sympathy
with the under dog, which often bites
you if you try to help him. In gentle
woman this super-sympathy has
charm of its own. Men would not
Danish it. Men do not laugh at it.
But. translated into legislation, 1t
would be not merely unwise, but grave
Ely pernicious. The corollary any
| thinker can work out for himself. 1t

Warden Perkins.

Sioux City Journal: 1t is a COM
pliment to the judgment of the state
board of control that in Sioux City
the news of the appointment OF a
minister. Rev. j. r. Perkins, to the
wardenship of the state penitentiary
was received, first, with little sur
prise, then with the general reflec-
ton that the appointee is remarkably
qualified. In Sioux City, where he
has held the pastorate of the First
Christian church for five years, Rev.
Mr. Perkins is very well known, in
deed. His activities and his acquaint-
anceships have been far wider than
those of a localized churchman. And
he is not only most known, but pos
sibly also best known for his con-
genial humanness in all relations
for his native sympathy with men.
That quality, plus a high degree of
practically in his thought and deal
ings. unquestionably brought him to
the attention of the board of control
in the boards search for the right
man to take charge of the Fort Mad
ison prison. Rev. Mr.. Perkins will
take with him to Fort Madison ideals.
and he also will take common sense.
He will take sympathy, and he will
take the proper degree of restraint.
The board of control has not chang
ed a preacher into warden, but has
recognized the warden in the preach
er. AS Rev. Mr.. Perkins says, the
step is not really such a radical one.
It is from the service of men to the
service of men. And the opportun-
ity for the exercise of the human
quality, intelligently directed, is
surely nowhere greater than at the
concentration camps Of the stigma
tized.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
OBLIGATION.

OBLIGATION
I may not have the strength to set
My will against the tyrant's arm,
Or cause him sulenly to let
His prey escape the threatened harm
But if the bully does not choose
To suffer to shield the weak,
I tenderly can battle the brulse
That blackens on the martyrs cheek
cannot hope to gladden. all
To whom each day brings only dreao;
I cannot answer every call
From those whose dearest hopes are dead;
But l. within the little sphere
In which my daily tasks are laid,
Can sneak the faith and lend the cheer
That makes the doubter unafra1d.
I am not numbered with the few
Whose fame extends through every zone;
My place is with the millions who
Pursue a daily course, unknown;
But even so, have no right
To shun the wrongs l should assam;
I. too, must help with all my might
And am guilty If fail.
