FEDERAL ARSENAL NEGLECTED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-(special
to Review)-For the last two years
the republicans of the house have been
calling attention to the folly of allow
ing our government arsenal to stand
idle instead of granting sufficient ap-i
preparations to keep them busy. The
answer from the democrats always
has been that in case of emergency
we could turn to private concerns for.
munitions. That now has been done.
but rifles are being secured at q price
far higher than it would have cost
to manufacture them at federal ar.
senal. Congressman Harry E. Hull,
of Iowa, who represents district ad-i
joining the Rock Island arsenal, has
been most insistent in asking for
funds for that plant, but for several
years it was closed entirely as to the
of small arms. Not until the
Villa raid ON Columbus stirred the
democrats to sense Of the country's
anpreparedness was Mr.. Hull able to
secure the sum of $5,000,00O for the
of rifles at Rock Island.

BURIED UNDER HAY BALES.

CARROLL, Oct. 26-Will Hupp, Of
the Carrollton neighborhood, was haul
ing baled hay near his home when the
wagon tongue came down just at-the
foot of hill and the team, of mules
hitched to the wagon took fright and
ran. The wagon could not be guided
so ran off the end Of small culvert at
the foot of the hill, upsetting and
dumping the hay by the roadside. Mr..
Hupp, who was riding the load, was
thrown for a considerable distance,
alighting against the fence, and a
great quantity of the hay fell upon him,
breaking his right leg just above the
ankle and otherwise bruising him
about the right side. He was complete
ly buried under the hay, the load be-
ing composed of about sixty bales.
and those who went to his assistance
were somewhat surprised upon uncov-
ering him to find that he had not been
killed outright. Mr.. Hupp is the Sec
ond man to be called in the next army
draft and he says he hopes he will re-
cover in time to be able to take his
place in the ranks of his country.

The Charles City Press says the gov
ernment was guilty of false economy
in the means it took to advertise the
liberty bond sale: that the waste in
poster and pamphlet material has been
great; that in Charles City that not
more than half of the material provid-
ed was used, the remainder going to
the waste paper baler. This waste,
the Press asserts, would have paid for
Q liberal amount OF newspaper adver-
tising.

The really vital point in this case is
the fact that the vets defeated the
will of the majority of the people
through an erroneous court decision
which had nothing to do with the real
problem at issue. And this case is a
typical one. The liquor interests,
while pretending to favor popular
rule, are as matter of fact, contin-
ually striving to defeat the will of the
majority. In the Minonk case they
did this by taking advantage of a
court ruling upon mere technicality.
In the state Legislature at the present
time, they are seeking to do the same
thing by defeating the present refer
endum bill which is now before the

Chicago Doctor
Condemns Beer
Says That Moderate Drinking Pro-
duces Drug Habit More Deadly
Than Opium Habit

In answer to QUESTIONABLE upon
the attitude of the medical profession
toward the use of alcohol as medicine
and the effect upof the body Of The
moderate drinking of wine and beer,
DR.. Richard H. Brown of Chicago re-
piled:
"In my opinion, the present atti-
tude of the medical profession is
more and more away from the use Of
alcohol as medicine With more
exact knowledge, we are coming to
realize that other drugs have all the
good effects which we used to ascribe
to alcohol, and we can use them more
exactly in medicine.
"The moderate use of alcohol is al
most universally considered injurious
to health by the medical profession.
Even though many use it themselves,
they are willing to admit that it is
habit, and claim that the habitual use
of it leads toward Bright's disease and
Quiet uSSCHSidtiFC 'SiidiiSSo.
Beer and Wine Injurious
In answer to the question, "1s the
drinking of beer and light wines as
practised in saloons physically injur-
ious?" DR.. Brown said:
at is considered not only injurious
physically, but far more so mentally
in its harmful influence upon the will,
leading to the drug habit.
"Most medical men today believe
that alcohol is an anesthetic drug
with primary stimulant effects; that
the use in small quantities brings
about drug habit far more pernicious
than those usually ascribed to opium.
We might miss it from our materia
medica, but most of us would be only
too willing to throw it aside alto
gcther if that were the only method
of preventing its indiscriminate use
by the unthinking We feel that it
should be employed only as medi-
cine and in the arts"
