NOT A SQUARE DEAL.

A retired farmer of southern Ne braSka moved into village to spend the latter days of his life. Soon after he was solicited to sign petition for a man who wanted to open saloon He refused to sign. and, when asked for his reason replied that the town did not treat the saloonkeeper fairly
 The applicant for license had heard many other reasons, but never having heard that one, he asked the man to explain.
 The explanation was like this: You want to start your saloon for the benefit of the town, don't you?" Yes" replied the would-be saloonkeeper You think 1t will bring trade to the town and improve business, don't you?" Yes" said the man who want ed the license. Well" said the farm CT, If your saloon will help the town draw trade. and improve business, they ought to give you bounty in stead of making you pay high price for the privilege of starting a saloon."

LISTEN TO COMMON SENSE.

Does not common sense show you that you would be better off to buy the liquor and not drink it, than you wonld to buy the liquor and drink it? 1T you buy the liquor and don't drink it, the liquor man has the money, and you pay the license just the same and you have lost nothing except the money you have paid out for the liquor. It Is true the money Is gone and the liquor is gone; but if you buy the liquor and drink 1t, the money Is gone, the liquor is gone, and the man is gone; hence, common sense says the liquor traffic doesn't pay anybody except few men who sell 1t. But how long shall thou sands of people be made enormously poor in order that small preferred class, who are doing absolutely noth- ing for the welfare of humanity, may be made enormously rich ?-Mary Har- ris Armor.

TRAINING AND DRINKING.

Can we imagine any sane present. day trainer telling his team or crew that they need not bother their heads about the amount of beer or wine they take during training? With most of them 1t Is case of the less the bet ter, and none best of all. If this is true of physical energy which, after all, is the crudest form of energy, what train of reasoning leads us to ig- nore the effect that alcohol, in its vari- ous vehicles, has on the intellectual and psycho-physical powers of the man in our midst, who is training for the great game, or battle of life in which he shortly is bound to engage Prof. c.

"LIQUlD BREAD"

This true story about the harm lessness" of beer is told by the Tem- perance society of the Methodist Episcopal church:
 "Some time ago an advertisement asserting that beer is liquid bread and temperance drink fell under the eye of a man who had never taken a drink in his life. He was me chanic. making good wages. He had wife and two children, owned his home, and was in every sense of the word a man of strong character and of worth to his country.
 ''The liquid bread temperance drink converted him to the use of beer In time he introduced 1t into his home.
 "Some months later he returned home after an absence of three days. When he entered the house he was 'beer-drunk'-soggy. stupid, brutal with the brutality that delights in pervert- ed forms of cruelty.
 "When he entered the living room something angered him. It may have been the reproach he read in his wife's face. He knocked her down, went on into the bed room where he found his two children asleep, cut their threats, and when his wife, hay ing recovered, entered the door and screamed, knocked her down again and crushed her skull literally kicking out her brains.
 "Ths man declared that he had never tasted anything but beer in his life. There is no reason to disbelieve him."

CAN'T BUY A LINE.

"The Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen is unequivo- cally and uncompromisingly temper ance organization. says The Fireman and Enginemen's Magazine.
 "So closely does the organization adhere to this principle that all the breweries and distilleries of the con- tinent combined have not enough money to buy one line of advertising space in its official publication, The Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen's Magazine, for the purpose of advertising their intoxicat- ing products"

". c. T. U.

In yesterdays meeting with Mrs Daniels we found that women, the world over, are antagonistic to drink The world has not yet recovered from the surprise it felt when the czar of Russia gave his proclamation for pro- hibition throughout his vast empire. Mrs. Elgin read paper on Rus sia's Crusading Women, in which we found that the credit for prohibition is laid at the feet of peasant women, and not to the Grand Duke Constan- tine, president of the Russian Chris tian Temperance Society, who peti- toned the cZar to abolish forever the government sale of alcohol.
 Listen to Tchelyshov's impressive words: Long before there was any hint of war; long before Constantine petitioned the czar to abolish drink, thousands of vodka shops had been closed through the persistent efforts of the peasant women; these women were justified in their crusade. Four and half million children under five years of age were dying annually for want of maternal milk. Over a mil lion working men-family bread win ners, were drinking themselves to death in public houses. Tens of thous- ands of insane people roamed around at large for lack of accommodation in asylums, and hundreds of thous- ands of criminals filled the jails." So it seems as Tchelyskov says: "The secret of Russia's miracle lies in the action of her peasant women who, starved and cold and driven to despair during the rigors of winter when their men folks were away on drinking bouts, tried to destroy the vodka shops, thus creating riots and forcing the hand of the ruling author ities."
 This was militant measure-a Carrie Nation act, but it is considered one of "the most remarkable phe- nomena connected with this reform"
 We also learned from the papers read by Mrs. Moncrief and Mrs. Blakely that the liquor men fear, more than anything else, woman's direct influence (the vote), her wo- manly persuasiveness and her un- swerving loyalty to high ideals.
 Ex-Gov. Carlson of Colorado says: "Take from the politics of our state and nation the insidious influence of the liquor traffic and nation wide equal suffrage would prevail within a years time"

The mathematical gentlemen, who have all such figures at their finger tips, estimate that the possible auto mobile purchases in the United States this year number 100000, while the years production will not exceed 1,600,000 cars. The point is, at all events, that however it may be with the cars themselves, the market for them is not likely to be overcrowded in the near future.
