BOOZE AND SAVINGS

In a recent issue we spoke of the
food and labor that would be saved il
the United States should cut out the
booze business, even during the war.
1t would mean turning over $4,000
600 bushels of grain year for food
purposes, instead of using it for
booze; and it would add the labor OF
about one million men to other in
dustries.
There is another phase of it which
should be considered 1t is estimated
that the annual retail drink bill OF
the United States before the war was
So, 900. This is $500, 1000
600 more than was asked for our
first Liberty Loan, and it is equal to
our total annual exports before the
war. 1t is enough to buy most of the
War Savings stamps now being of
fered.
The money spent for booze is worse
than wasted. Booze impairs the eli
ficiency of the drinker to earn more
money. 1t increases the number O.
fires. the loss of property in Other
ways, the number of accidents the
expense of maintaining police de
partments and jails. If, therefore
we should bring about entire prohibi
ton. we would add to our industries
the labor of the men now engaged il
the various phases of the booze bust
ness. We would have large amour
of grain each year. We would saw
the money spent for booze. w
would save the rent paid for build
ings occupied by saloons, warehouse
and brewing establishments. W.
would save the autom obile truck
needed for handling this great traf
fic, as we'll as the gasoline and oil
needed to run them. We would in
crease the efficiency of the men wh'
have been in the habit of drinking
to say nothing of the moral effect ant
the happiness of the homes to whlcl
they belong. -Wallaces' Farmer

ADJOURN POLITICS

President Wilson, leader OF the
democratic party, and Will Hays,
chairman of the republican national
committee, have both advised that
politics be adjourned, as far as pos
sible, during the period of the war.
This is good advice and will be read
lily accepted by the people, in fact the
voters are likely to refuse to take
much intrest in politics regardless of
the attitude of their leaders, While
their thoughts are centered on the
military operations in France and
Italy, they are not going to pay much
attention to political campaigns at
nome. While they are ready to lis
ten gladly to appeals to patriotism,
they will turn a deaf ear to appeals
10 partisanship. While they are Wit
ally interested in the welfare of the
boys with the colors, they are very
nttle Interested in the prospects Of
candidates for county offices. Most OF
them will go to the polls and vote as
matter of duty and habit, but they
are going to measure the candidates
ny their record as loyal citizens,
rather than by their record as party
workers. They prefer to loan their
money to the government to be used
IN rghting Germany, or to contribute
y 10 the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A.,
knights of Columbus or the Saliva
'ioh Army for war work, rather than
!" donate it to political campaign
funds.
Ihls~ack of interest in politics was
V'uenced by the failure of all the
Peotions for proposed initiative meas
ues to secure enough signatures to
si'e them a place on the ballot at the
s0nlihg election. No particular fight
was made against them by anybody,

GREAT PRIVILEGES

Some people are asking why the
recent Chautauqua was a financial
failnre in Pullman, while a success
in other towns of smaller population
The question is easily answered. II
ia because the people of this commun-
ity can hear better music and better
lectures at the State College free oil
charge than the Chautauqua can al
ford to offer at the prices asked.
This privilege of being able to en-
10y high class music and to hear the
finest lecturers in the country, with
out money and without price, is

very great one, which the people
should appreciate and exercise far
more than they do. It is one of the
greatest advantages resulting from
the location of the college in our
midst.
The college offers another great
privilege to the farmers of this com
munlty. which many of them fail to
appreciate. They could study the
experiments which are being conduct
ed on the college farm and talk over
their problems with the trained sci
entlsts on the faculty, with great
benefit to themselves.
1t seems to be weakness of
human nature that distance lends en-
chantment. The average man feels
that privileges which can not be en-
Joyed without considerable trouble
are more valuable and more to be de-
sired than those which can be en-
Joyed without trouble. He measures
the value Of concert or a lecture or
a piece OF expert advice, in proper
ton to the distance he has to travel
to hear it and by the price he has to
pay for it.
Many people in this community do
not begin to appreciate or to make
use of the benefits which the proxim-
ity Of the State College affords them.

Cotton Still Rises

a new wall will probably go up at the
spectacle of cotton at the wild and unreg
ulated price of thirty-three cents per
pound. But consider the compensations.
Relatively little of our cotton is now
going abroad, except in the form of high
explosives for use in the war, and, OF
course, such cotton as we can spare for
our soldiers. The rest is all consumed in
the United States.
1t follows, therefore, that cotton at
$50 or more per bale simply means talk
ing from the pockets of some and putting
it into the pockets of others. 1t is all in
the family. Cotton planters are now
able to pay off their mortgages and put
immense SUMS into Southern banks. The
total gain to the South from these high
prices this year VIII probably exceed a
billion and half.
Nearly one-half Of this cotton is for
war uses, in one form or another. There
fore, the cost of the war is increased an
extra billion or so, but the South will be
really prosperous for the first time in
tifty-seven years.

Emotions and Boniires

watch the play of elementary human
nature. Not in the antagonists, of
course but in the yelling, cheering, ex-
cited crowd.
There was an especially good example
the other night at the Garden, when Mr..
Zbyszko, who was plainly irritated.
brought his powerful intellect, or the cas-
ing of it. in contact with the brain case
of Mr. Lewis and butted him out of the
ring.
Mr.. Lewis had panied Mr.. Zbyszko by
gripping his opponents head under his
arm and endeavoring to strangle hm.
Mr.. Zbyszko retaliated by twisting Mr..
Lewiss big toe with what seemed to US
extreme violence A look of great agony
came into Mr. Lewis's face.
At these plays and interplays joyous
frenzy seized upon the multitude. Cries
of Break it off, and "Choke the
geezer." filled the ain
A great many eanest-minded people
are disturbed by what they call such eX-
hibitions of brutality. In reality, are not
these contests the finest sort of bonfres
for a lot of emotions that apparently
have got to be burnt up in some way?
And what could be more harmless
These three or four thousand men who
attended went back to theT work the
next day, we are quite sure, with much
keener zest than if they had spent the

No Sewage for New York

The report of the special legislative
committee which has been investigating
the question of protection for New York
City's water supply is a straddlc. The
committee recommends that the site for
the Mohansc State Hospital be used as
a park and that the ground acquired for
the Training School for Boys be used
for a farm colony in connection with
the House of Refuge, to accommodate
limited number Of inhabitants. But it
also declares that for the state to pass
legislation prohibiting the location of
any state institution within the water
shed of any municipality, which has been
proposed for the last two or three ses-
sions, would be to create a dangerous
precedent.
New York City has won it's long bat
tle For that there should be general
rejoicing here and generous thanks to
the Merchants Association, which led
the fight Those who drink Croton
water may rest assured, if this report be
adopted, that they will not be drinking
the sewage from big public institutions,
as would have been the case if the orig
inal plans for the State Hospital and
the Training School for Boys had been
carried out. Unfortunately, under the
committees report the battle which this
city has had to make may have to be
made in future by some other city. IN
stead of creating a dangerous precedent
by prohibiting the placing Of public in
sttutions in watersheds from which
municipalities draw their supply, the
state would be creating a dangerous
precedent to rely on water and sewage
publication methods as the committee
suggests. Chat body recognizes this
fact, in effect, by recommending that
the state discourage the placing of any
hospital'or penal institution in The water
shed Of any public supply.
For New York's deliverance this city
is grateful. 1t is unfortunate for the
other cities Of the state that the COM
mittee did not follow it's own conclusions
to their logical end
