STATEMENT BY SENATOR FERNALD

WASHINGTON, June 49, Asked as to
his attitude toward National Prohibition
as a war measure, Senator Fernald of
Maine said: 'There is but one answer |
can make: have told all who have writ
ten me that heartily favor it and that l
shall vote for any measure Of that kind
which comes before the Senate. | have
supported all prohibitory measures before
the Senate since becoming member and
cannot, at this time, see any good reason
why should alter my attitude.
Senator Fernald has not introduced all
the resolutions and letters endorsing Ma
tional Prohibition as war measure which
he has received from Maine, but this does
not change the fact that they have reach
ed him by the hundreds. Some idea of
their number is to be had from the fact
that for two days in May one stenographer
in his office did nothing but write &C
acknowledgements of these. In addition
to this there has not been day since the
first of May when the Senator's mail has
not included from one to 20 of such let
tiers and resolutions.
The Senator's reason for not presenting
all these in the Senate has been that it
would UNNECESSARILY load up the Record
and thereby greatly add to the cost of an
already expensive publication and would
accomplish no good. On this point he
says: "These resolutions, letters and tele-
grams would influence no members of
Congress outside of Maine. Those MEM
beers will be governed by what the people
of their States desire and not what my
constituents wish.

THE SOUTHERN IDEA.

The Southern idea is to get what it can
for the South, and let the North do with
out. This was particularly noticeable in
the egregious pork bills at the last ses-
SION Southern crossroads villages that
| wanted elaborate post offices or court
houses had but to ask for them. Southern
streams of undoubted picturesqueness, but
no commercial possibilities, were enthusi-
astically included in the rivers and har-
bors bill. "What are we here for|' ask
ed an eminent Democrat on another fer
vid occasion. And what are the Southern
Democratic leaders in Congress for, the
rest of the country has often been tempt
ed to ask, if not to superintend the pas
sage of sectional legislation?
Under Mr.. Kitchin's guidance, the War
Tax bill went through the House in such
shape as to favor the South at the ex
pense of the North Any proposal to levy
imposts on Northern products or interests
was greeted with Joy on the majority side.
But let tax on the South be suggested,
and at once the sturdy defenders of that
favored part of the land rose in their
, virtuous wrath.
AS a Northern Representative, ironical
ly rejecting the Southern attitude, put it
in the debate:
"In fixing your taxes to pay for the war.
| trife of billions unheard of before,
Be sure to distribute the burden around
| And catch every fellow who ought to be
bound
The rich man. the poor man. your good self,
and me-
But don't you tax cotton.
For cotton is free.
Double up all the taxes on income and SUCH.
And take all the profits from industry,s clutch;
Insurance and business tax higher and higher,
Till each corporation shall gasp and expire;
But ever and always remember to be
A friend of King Cotton,
For cotton is free
The Southern leaders need to think
nationally instead of sectionally. They
need to realize that the task of legislation
that has been temporarily entrusted to
them is a countrywide task. Every part
OF the United States ought to shoulder its
fair share of the enormous new burdens
that the war imposes.
Many of these men, in their brutal dis
regard of legislative decency, have con-
verified whatever patriotism they ever
possessed into pork.-Providence Journal

"TAkt THE LOAN"

Fifty-six years ago the May Just pas
sed, Edward Everett Hale wrote "Take
the Loan poem, for war purposes, al
the outbreak of the Civil War. The pop
ulation of the country at that time was
less than one-third of our present popula-
ton. AS in these days, it was necessary
to arouse the people to the need of unset
fish assumption of their share of the bur
den of war. He wrote:
Come, freeman of the land,
Come meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophets saw,
For the swords your brothers draw,
For liberty and law
Take the loan!
Ye ladies of the land,
AS We love the gallant band,
Who have drawn a soldiers brand,
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she could.
Who would give the soldier food,
Who would staunch her brothers. blood.
Take the loan!
All who saw her hosts pass by.
All who joined the parting cry,
When we babe them do or die,
Take the loan!
As ye wished their triumphs then,
As We hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze as men,
Take the loan!
Who would press the great appeal
OF our ranks of serried steel.
Put your shoulders to the wheel,
Take the loan!
That our prayers in truth may rise.
Which we press with streaming eyes
On the Lord of earth and skies.
Take the loan!

Farewell to Meat!

EBy Scott Nearing, in Coast Seaman's Journal
Vegetarians have always been rare in
the United States. People have taken it
for granted that in India or in China a
meat diet was out of the question, but in
the United States-have not our ances-
tors eaten meat from time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary? True enough, but our descendants
must stop it.
From 1860 to 1917 the population of the
United States increased little more than
threefold, and from 1880 to 1917 1t doubled
almost exactly. Contrast with this in
crease in population the increase in the
production of meat, for which the work
ingman spends one-third of his food bud
get. The meat supply is absolutely limit
ed by the number of meat animals in 2
community, The figures showing the
number of live meat animals in the Unit
ed States indicate an alarming failure of
the meat supplies to keep pace with the
increasing population. Between 1860 and
1917 the number of cattle in the United
States more than doubled. In 1860 there
were 25 million cattle and in 1917 there
were GO million From 1880 to 1917 there
was an increase of 90 per cent. in the
number of cattle in the United States.
The increase in the number of people in
the United States is therefore more rapid
than the increase in the potential supply
of beef. Bearing in mind the fact that
idairving has increased very rapidly dur
ing the period under consideration, it be-
- ONES evident that beef demand has in
creased entirely out of proportion to the
1eef supply. During the fifty years from
800 to 1917 while the population more
than trebled the supply of cattle merely
doubled Practically the same thing is
true of sheep and swine, the two other
principal sources of meat supply. There
were % million sheep IN the United States
in 1860, AZ million in 1880 and 48 million
in 1917. The swine in 1860 numbered 33
million, in 1880 40 million and in 1917 81
million, showing slight progressive in
crease. In no one of these cases, how
ever, has the increase in the number of
animals corresponded with the increase
in the population
AS for meat prices, of course they are
high, and unless the ratio between the
number of meat animals and the number
of people in the country can be radically
changed of course meat prices will be
higher The increase in the land values,
the disappearance of great unclaimed
stretches of free grazing land, and the
growing conviction that more money can
be made in forms of agriculture other
than stock-farming, are all playing part,
and the American meat supply is dlmln-
ishing.
Two-thlrds of the people of the world
are yegetarians. The proportional de-
&crease in the number of available meat
animals, with the consequent increase in
he price of meat products, means vege-
tarianism for the iow-paid American
wage-earners. The rich and well-todo
will continue to be meat eaters, but those
who do the bulk of the work in the Unit
ed States must abandon a meat diet. The
next generation will see a growing line
of distinction between those who eat
meat and those who do not eat it.
