FIGURES AND FIGURES.

The number Of bushels of grain con-
sumed annually In the manufacture of
alcoholic beverages has been variously
stated by the press, but the figure most
generally used has been 600,OOO,O0O.
The distillers and brewers now are
calling the attention of the newspa-
pers to the fact that they use only
the triling amount of approximately
135000,000 bushels.
The interesting point In the case Is
that the inflated figure, 800000,000.
originated with the liquor interests
some years ago and has been used to
impress the men engaged In agrlcul-
ture with the immensity of the market
for grains afforded by the liquor busi-
ness and the calamity that would
necessarily result to the farmers from
prohibition.
Not word Of protest was ever ut
tered by the liquor interests concern
ing the use Of this figure until the war
prohibition question loomed large.
Then 1t was made to shrink In aston
ishing fashion. The figure now named
by the liquor interests is approximate
ly the same as that which appears In
w. G. Il. U. literature, notably In
Prof. John Nicholl's booklet, "Does 1t
PayY'-The Union Signal.

dead MANS HILL"
have seen picture inexpressibly
sad Of 'Dead Mans Hill In France"
with Its 100000 graves and as many
wooden crosses. Far as eye can reach
are the figures Of black shr0uded wom-
en-; they bend themselves above the
graves; they lift themselves with out
stretched hands toward the unrelent-
Ing heavens. But for them there is
pitiful compensation: They have the
trlnkets of the Legion of Honor and
the memories Of heroism that will
never die. Powder-blackened and dis
emboweled, their sons were hurled
into long trenches, but above them
float the tri-color Of France and the
flag of the fatherland and they will
live forever.

"A hill that rises In my own land, and
from this proud, imperial city The
picture of this hill Is infinitely sad.
Women crowd 1t with their forms and
cover it with their lamentations and
for them there Is no compensation, no
flag to drape above the picture, no
cross Of honor to press into the baby's
hand, no memory but one Of infamy
and shame. They weep and through
their tears no rainbow ever shines, for
their dead have died in vain.
Who speaks for these women. for
these who mourn the unnumbered slain
of alcohol, who have followed their
sons to the drunkards grave and
their daughters to the stake Of mans
lalcohol-fed lust? Who speaks for
theml BY the blood of the innocent
and by the flag Of the free, we speak
for them! And we will speak. until.

LIQUOR LIES ANSWERED.

Through the misuse OF statistics,
through cribbing brief statements Of
fact from official reports and adroitly
stripping them from their qualifying
clauses, the desperate saloon interest
still is trying to fool the nation into
believing that prohibition is harmful
to Kansas, where the people voluntar-
lily have just added the most stringent
bone-dry law In existence to keep llq-
uor from seeping acrtss the state bor-
der from the outside.-Capper's Week

FARMERS NOT AFRAID.

The destruction Of the markets OF
the farmer by the coming of prohibition
is still one of the hackneyed sophls-
tries of the llquorites. Strange that IL
prohibition is so inimical to the agri-
cultural interests Of state the farm
ers of North Dakota in electlng a gov
ernor last year should have put In
power so enthusiastic an adherent or
the policy as is Governor Frazier.

from the top of the stuirs to the bot

wrath, he hobbled away to the resi-
dence Of the president of the club, and
there complained of the treatment he
had received.

On March the Berliner Tageblatt
asserted that the suspension of all

SALOON REVENUE NOT NEEDED.

After the saloons were driven out
Of Kansas City, Kan, the states larg-
est city. for the first time In 20 years
that municipality made no debt for
current expenses. And this without
saloon revenue, as its mayor at that
time, U. s. Guyer, has recorded In a
signed statement.
The first year the saloons were effec-
lively suppressed In Kansas City. 1t Is
recorded by q former attorney general
Of Kansas, that the cost Of public pros
ecutlons, which the public had to bear,
fell off $4,000. Another saving Of
S25,000 was made by reduction OF
the police force. How much was
saved the merchants In the better col
lection Of accounts, and how much was
saved the people In other ways, can
not be estimated.

leader and convicted of completely in
the plot by which a number of persons
met their death during the great pre-
paredness parade last June, yesterday
sprung a mine under the prosecution
by impeaching the testimony of France
c. Oman, cattieman of Durkee, Ore,
the chief witness against Mooney in
his trial.
The counsel for Mooney declared
that they have positive proof that the
entire evidence given by Oxman-

given in AL the sensational trial Of
the labor leader-was fixed by the
prosecution with the deliberate intent
of "railroading Mooney" to his death.
They. announced furthermore that
their proof was of such nature as to
enable them to ask for the immediate
arrest of the Oregon cattleman, and
that they will do so at once.
