son can there be in urging the farm
crs to grow great crops, about forty
million bushels of which are to be
used for distilling into liquors? The
farmers should rise up and demand of
the government that this waste be
eliminated. Why should the farms
of this great nation be taxed forty
million bushels of their products, in

cs, in order that a few people may
have liquor?
Read the following strong argu-
ment from the IN. W independents;
The argument for prohibition is
clcan-cut, simple ana direct!
The drinking Of alcohol never pro-
duccd for any normal individual pos
tive good--in health, efficiency, pow
er or happiness.
The drinking OF alcohol does pro-
! duce for countless individuals and for
society positive evil-in disease, loss
of efficiency, impairment of power
vice, crime and unhappiness.
The best that can be said for the
drinking of alcohol is that it affords
pleasure, ratification, and sociability
The evil that it produces constitutes
too heavy a price for the community
+ to pay for these cpicWean benefits.

health and ,'iseasc-but between food
and drink.
Shall the many have food, or the
few have drink? This is the qucs-
ton.
Last year there were issucl in the
United States in the making of dis
titled spirits thirty-two million bush
els Of corn, three million bushels of
rye, four and half million bushels
Of malt, made from barley, and one
hundred and liftytwo million gal
ions of molasses. These are the Of
liicial figures. a careful estimate by
prominent professors Of economics in
Harvard and Yale Universities shows
that there were used last year in the
manufacture of fermcnted liquors in
the United States thirteen million
bushels of corn, fifty-four millions
bushels of malt, and seventeen mil
lion bushels of barley.
If us much rs One-sixth of the
grand total of these food-stuffs were
to be used in the manufacture of al
cohol for industrial purposes, the saw
ing in food-Stuirs would be sufficient
to supply the energy required of sew
On million men for one year.
Cutting Off onc-half OF our produc-
ton Of distilled and fcrmcntcd ilq-
Tors would save enough foodstuffs TO
provide eleven million loaves of bread
Il day.
What are we going to do about il :?
Are we I'll to suffer for lack of food
in order that some of us may continue
to get pleasure out of drink?
A time of national crisis like this is
time for national and individual
self-sacriiicc. We shall ali make sac
rificcs, not so much because we must
as because we will. The spirit of the
American people is right. But the
sense of the American people must be
kept right also. To sacrifice bread for

known throughout the State, Mr..
Hart is candidate for supcrintend-
cnt of public instruction, and from
this on he will visit as many counties
and cities in the State as his time
will permit Mr. Hart stands high as
an educator and he is asking for the
votes of the people OH the high
ground that he will be able to benefit
the schools Of Virginia if elected to
the position he is seeking. Mr.. Hart
is the superintendent of schools in
Roanoke city and is quite prominent
there in business, educational, church
and social circles. lie has 4 pleasing
personality and it goes without the
saying that he will be cordially re-
ceivcd by the people in every section

WHY NOT a TAX ON CHECKS?

During the Spanish American war
Il small tax was placed on cneciis by
which many hundreds of thousands of
dollars was raised. 1t is simple, in
expensive, requiring no bookkeeping
or clerks, and is a tax TO which no
one will object. Any man, able to pay
his bills by checks, will not object to
putting Il stamp on each one, any
more than he does putting Il stamp

AN OBJECT LESSON.
(Communicated.)

The recent trial of Rector for the
killing of John Miller, has afforded
Il demonstration of two facts, or con-
ditlons or abuses of our system of
Jurisprudence that should be discuss
cd by the people, and if not grown
chronic should be corrected. The first
OF these IS the altogether vicious and
rcprehensiblc custom of summonine
whole countryside as witnesses in
trials of u criminal character, only
- neglible few of whom can know
anything of the facts. In the case
mentioned there were forty or fifty
summonsed by the officer at so much
per head, brought quite distance mt
so much per mile, paid by the Treas
urer at so much per day, when prob
ably. the three eye witnesses furnish
cd the only testimony relevant to the
case or considered by the jury, and
only Il few put on the stand.
Another conclusion to be drawn
from this regrettable incident is AS
Obvious and Of far more dil'eful sig
nilicance and relates to the appoint-
ihent of eNtra-judicial officers with
police power. Rector was not elect
cd as Il Constable, nor did he nun
the gauntlet of the ballot box as an
under sheriff. II he had had such an
eXequatur, in all human probability
Miller would be alive today, and in
custody of the law. Everybody knows
that he should not have been killed,
and also that only bare technicality
saved Rector from punishment. Ev-
erybody knows also that special Off
crs picked up in emergencies should
not he clothed with the power of life
! and death. These object lessons will
doubtless bear fruit but too late to
prevent the bereavement of mother
of an only son.
