WASHINGTON, D. C, BONE DRY

We cannot speculate as to what
would be the thoughts of those earlier
statesmen of the republic if it were
possible for them to return to earth
and find Washington City "bone dry"
We are told that Washington, the
Father of his Country" distilled his
own apple brandy and partook of it
with the same punctuality and regu-
larity as he did his meals, and his po-
tations were not at all Hooverized
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Ste
phen a Douglas. Andrew Johnson,
Ulysses S. Grant, all have more or less
celebrity along this line, and the GUS
tom prevailed down to the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland, and. intel
lectually speaking, despite the GUS
tom, it is the record that there were
giants in those days. &
But the custom has gone out the
same as the powdered wig, knee
breaches and jeweled buckles, never
to return, and future generations will
be all the better for it, for so few
could use the distillation in modera-
ton, and unless so used it were more
to be dreaded than Dante's Inferno. .
Halloween night babe farewell to
the reign of this long crowned king
in the capital city, and his sceptre has
departed
The first day of bleak November
found the saloons bleaker still. Icha-
bod were written over their portals.
and our statesmen shall never see
them more
The capital is "bone dry" and it is
almost safe to say that it is only a
prelude to what we shall soon see
throughout the nation.
Othello's occupation is gone-for-
ever gone.

1t Is a Supply and Repair Station For
 Undersea Boats.
 What is a submarine base?" Well, submarine base is, i'll word, a sup ply and repair station for undersea boats. Craft of this kind are very elaborate and exceedingly delicate pieces of mechanism; they are liable to need tinkering at frequent intervals.
 Hence there must be a machine shop on shore at the service of the boats when at intervals they return from cruises. There must also be a store house containing all kinds of supplies and spare parts for the submarines. Most important of all, there must be tanks of fuel oil.
 Usually there is attached to the base mother ship"-a good sized steamer, with machinery aboard for making emergency repairs. The steamer also carries dynamOs, which may be used for charging the batteries of the boats though at sea the charging is accom- plished by the oil engines that propel the submarine when on the surface.
 When it is not practicable to estab- fish such d shore station the mother ship may be utilized temporarily as floating se.-EXchange.

LABOR DAY

| Louis V. Woulfe, friend Of James
B. Diver, of this city, has written
the following tribute for Labor day:
The marts Of trade are deserted.
Factories and workshops, SO noisy

is the national birthday of labor-a
day set apart by a wise government
when thinkers, producers, and art
isans may understand and appreciate
the sacredness of rest.

lean institution credi.able recog-
milton CT the dignity and majesty of
toll. Throughout the length and
breadth of the United States profes-
sions are expressing their tribute in
various ways. Time saving devices
will answer popular need, but
hand labor and human ingenuity will
constantly defy the encroachments
and be the basis for all production.
Year by year the ranks have been
recruited until there now exists an
army OF respondent, faithful, ener-
getic toilers who are the bulwarl5

fort and individual skill.
Labor is a divine mandate. "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread" Severe as seems this jldg-
ment, there are rewards for those
who heed the precept Brain and

ment. They return at night and re-
ceive the benediction Of sleep and
The farmer works in the

side Of labor, but there are
hands that rock the cradle in the
still watches of the night: people
