WOULD STOP GRAIN FOR BOOZE.
Senator Kenyon Proposes to Prohibit
Use Of Cereals For Alcohol Making.

Use OF Cereals For Alcohol Making.
Washington. April 14.-Senator Ken
yon expects Monday to offer bill to
prevent use of grain for distilling and
brewing for beverage purposes during
the war. He is working out plan to
impose heavy tax, which would be
iprohibitive, on newly produced alco-
hol or malt spirituous liquor.
This would not interfere with con-
sumption Of liquor in bond or with the
manufacture Of alcohol for denaturing
or for any scientific, medical and me
chanical or like purpose.
| Senator Kenyon says It would save
an enormous supply Of grain for food
purposes. A strong sentiment for pre-
venting use Of grain for distilling and
brewing for beverage purpose cropped
out today in the committee on agricul-
ture.
Representative Green, who is on the
ways and means committee, spoke in
favor of the bond issue bill. He urged
prompt and decisive action.
"Shall we wait until too late before
we act?" he asked.
He pointed out the danger that tho
the empire Of the Hohenzollerns is sur
rounded by wall of steel, the wall
may break in its weakest part and this
country face dangers it does not now
realize. BS
He strongly urged the committee on
the conduct Of the war to keep track OF
expenditures and Of the loans to the
allies.
while we have given the president
our confidence" he said, ''the president
should also take congress into his con-
ifidence." He said the country would
mot be satisfied with the expenditure OF
the enormous sums to be authorized un-
less the advice and counsel Of the most
distinguished men in congress was
sought.

The boys, guided by the progress

But with the merits of the school
girl and school boy debates this little
dissertation has nothing to do. We
are talking for the moment about the
popularity of the suffrage for women.
This is a new thing that our free gov
eminent and the love of self rule is 60
ing to bring to us within very short
time. There are staid, cut and dried
arguments that are always used in the
debates, whether in school or in matur-
er contests, but the woman wins in
nearly all of them.
Students of political science and
economics among us, writer's on the
same topics, all have leaning to the
extension of of the suffrage and it is
growing at a more rapid rate than
most people would suppose. The next
ten years will witness changes in many
of the states which now have no use
FOR the women in the making Of the
laws or running the government. 1t
is coming to us whether we want it or
not. Our own women are going to be
changed and will within a very short
time be having part in the very max
ing and shaping of government that
we now so jealousy guard for our
relves.
