HUMORs OF RENT COLLECTING
Seeming Proof That Stern Gatherer Of
Landlords Tribute May BE
Human, After All.

A Bostonian, owning houses In
neighboring city, received the follow
ing stately letter from the collector of
rents. We publish 1t to show that a
collector may be memorable, yet have
vein Of humor in his iron constitu-
ton. The letter was written In Janu-
airy:
"The soil-pipe, water pipes and other
apparatus in the cellar of the old
homestead are in their usual hibernal
state-frozen stiff; so Lemuel reports,
and adds that he offered to contribute
to Bill ton Of coal for the furnace to
generate little warmth and partially
overcome the deadly, gravelike chill Of
that subterraneous space; and Bill
tells me that Lemuel is cheerful liar,
and made no such offer, and so tell
both what the other says, and leave
them to fight 1t out, impressing ON
them, however, that the rent must be
forthcoming just the same"

WHAT NATIONWIDE PRoHlBI-
TON MEANS.

From the noise that is made about it
among the vets, one might think pro-
hibition meant murder.
1t doesn't.
1t simply means more food, and that
means lower food prices.
1t means more efficient labor. and
that means greater output, and that
means lower prices again.
1t means that the men who are now
making beer and whisky will begin to
make the equivalent of what they con-
sumo, and that. again, means lower
prices for you.
1t means more car space for legiti-
mate commodities, and that means
faster handling Of freight, and that
means lower prices.
1t means more ship tonnage to be
used In transporting material for our
boys In France and for our allies, and
that means not only lower prices for
our allies, but the lives of American
boys saved for America.
Incidentally, 1t means less crime,
and that means less taxes. It means
less pauperism, and that means less
taxes It means less insanity, and
that means less taxes. 1t means less
disease and death, and that means in
finite myriads of things for the good
old U. s. Aboard of Temperance,
Methodist Episcopal Church.

WOULD CUT PRISON POPULATION
I'M TWO.

"My experience on the state COM
mission of PRISONS" says Mr.. Richard
Hurd of New York, ''as well as my
study of crime in other states, makes
me confident that If wartime prohibit
tion should be adopted the population
of our prisons and jails would be cut
in halves. AS the total number of
men in prison in the United States
averages about 100000, this would re-
lease 100000 men for useful tasks. I
would add that in making require
ments for prison or Jail accommodate
tons In different counties the state
commission of prisons takes official
cognizance Of whether county is wet
or dry, requiring only about half the
accommodation for dry county,"

REASONS FOB RATIEYlNG.

Among seven reasons given by
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon league, why states should
ratify the prohibition amendment are
these:
A national evil requires national
remedy. Our interstate relations and
the inherent, vicious character of the
traffic make it a national evil. The al
coholic may drink liquor in one estate
and commit crime or become public
charge in another. The remedy must
be as far-reaching 40 the evil. State
boundaries are not adequate barriers
to moral contagion and no state, care
less in such matters, should be per-
mitted to dump its DRINKS and other
derelicts over the border line for a
neighboring state to care for.
1t will result In team work between
the state and nation in dealing with
the liquor traffic. The dry states are
handicapped in their effort to enforce
prohibition as long as the federal gov
eminent continues to collect revenue
from, and recognizes the outlawed-traf-
nc in, such states. National prohibit
ton unites the state and federal gov
eminent in common policy for the
public good.
The purposes of the federal govern
ment can be more easily consummated
under national prohibition. One Of the
fundamental purposes of the federal
constitution Is ito promote the general
welfare" The courts tell us this means
to protect public health and public
morals. The liquor traffic underinines
or destroys both. We cannot carry out
the fundamental purpose Of our gov
eminent If we foster, protect and en-
courage crime-producing business, like
the beverage liquor traffic.

want to. Say wealthy friend Of
the family come to life all at once and

"But there isn't any such friend, is
there, Captain Warren? Other than
yourself, mean?"
Captain Elisha grinned in apprecia-
ton Of private poke. "There Is some
body else" he admitted, who'll pay d
share, anyhow. But, anyhow, you saw
wood or bones or whatever you have
to do, and leave the rest to me. And
don't tell Caroline or anybody else 4
