LOOKING BACKWARD.

Somebody has dug up a letter written to man in
Hartford Connecticut in 1920 by pioneering brother
who had settled in Ohio It contains this interesting ref
erence to the liquor situation of that period
Whisky the principal drink usedin all this western
country and is drunk in great abundance The principal
reason of this probably the want of market for their
surplus quantity of grain which induces the inhabitants
to convert it into whisky which is very cheap in conse-
quence."
There seems to have been little problem" about it in
those days It evidently not thought of as moral
problem or efficiency problem They wanted something
to drink they had grain than they could eat or SELL
they made their surplus into whisky and drank the
whisky.
This experience duplicated in many parts of the
United States in the early daysand to some extent in
days not so early.
The whisky of that day was evidently not the patent
stuff to which the present generation has been accusom
ed It probably like the southern moonshine"
which is commonly said to be drunk by the tumberful'
without the consequences that would result from such
consumption of the usual hghproof whisky Of commerce
Still, it had it's effect.
With all the virtues possessed by those pioneering
ancestors sobrety hardly ranked high among them
it has among their descendants of recent decades And
they would have been amazed at the prophetic suggestion
that their grandchildren and great grandchildren would
pronounce alcohol an intoerable evil.

THE JUNKERS OF THE SENATE.

The New York World calls attention to the fact that
the course which Senator Lodge and majority of the
committee of Foreign Relations have charted is OF
complete responsibility Nothing matters to them ex-
cep the defeat Of the president and disaster Of which
the human imagination conceive is too heavy price
to pay for that.
Unless they brought to their senses by the Amer
can people, who will be the ultimate victims OF this insane
policy of malice and meanness according to the World
there is an excellent chance not only that the United
States will come out of the war with the open hostility OF
the great nations of the world but that there will be
actual coalition against That is what the Lodges are
inviting.
The Shantung affair is only case in point Grant
inc the substantial justice of the Chinese demands the
fact remains that it Japan and not China which oust
ed Germany from Shantung at time when this assist
ance was invaluable to the Allied Japan has prom
ised to restore to China everything except the German
railway and mining concessions, and the League OF Ma
tons provides tribunal under which these pledges can
be enforced The action taken by the Senate committee
admittedly provides no relief to China 1t not taken
to provide relief The Chinese case was used only as al
means Of muddng the treaty and increasing the Difficult

The factories involved were private concerns. There

1t is exactly if, in order to provide employment
in hard times the government were to hire two sets of
