King Alcohol is Doomed
Says Senator w. E. Borah

Senator William Il. Borah delivered
ago on the food control bill in which
he discussed the proposal to prohibit
the manufacture of intoxicating liquor
from grain and other food materia
during the war. The closing para
graphs of that speech are worth pre-
serving. Here they are
Mr. President, | believe the liquor
traffic OF this country is near its final
doom. Powerful influences may pro-
crastinate the hour but the hour
nevertheless approaches. 1t is in the
hour of execution. however that we
hear singular and surprising pleas for
communication 1t is then that ingenuity
searches the realm of conjecture for
some possible fancy upon which to
hang a claim for mercy. We have an
example of this here and now in this
plea for the workingman, who they
say must have his beer-otherwise he
will strike and break his government
down even in the face of the enemy.
And following hard upon this plea 10
favor tabor is the plea that the gov
eernment must have more revenue.
"A great metropolitan paper in an
ambitious editorial pleading plain
lively in one part of the editorial for
the favor of the laboring man, says, in
the close of the editorial, the govern
ment must have $450,O00,000 in the
way OF revenue from this traffic. Let
us look upon this logic in all its hide
Gus deformity The average earnings
for the laboring man in this country
are from 500 to 5000 year. Upon
that sum in these times no man can
rear a family in decency, no man can
educate his children and fit them for
citizenship in republic. Under such
wages men live constantly on the rag

WHEN EGGS COME REAL HIGH

City of Mexico.

1t is a weird tale of finance and
st. Louis by Henry Herschkowitz,
formerly translator at the United
States embassy, City of Mexico.
Herschkowitz said he was forced to
leave Mexico by II. G.. L.
Articles of food in the Mexican cap

the kind of money paid for them. AID
egg, for example, only costs 10 cents in
silver money. But in Mexican paper
money the same egg will cost % pesos
The peso for many years has been
considered worth so cents in United
price to $3.50. But the money chang
ers declare the value of the peso has
deprecated to one-quarter of a cent.
1t is the same with butter. A pound
of medium quality butter can be pur-
chased in the City of Mexico for only
$1.25 United States money. 1t will
cost $3.50 in Mexican silver and 625
pesos in paper money.
Even in the United States coin the
price of shoes has doubled while corn
is $50 per cent higher than in 1913,
and charcoal is $50 per cent higher.
Charcoal is universally used for cook
ing.
According to Herschkowitz, there is
no police protection in the City of
Mexico. Instead, martial law prevails,
but it does not prevent the holder
