3O0,O 900 dwellings for it's working

"In agreement with the field

'there is now being prepared a

STEAM FIRST USED FOR, TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGE 100 YEARS AGO

The entrance of the Savannah
under full steam caused excite
ment in Liverpool and while the
vessel remained in port it was the
center of interest. The Savannah
then proceeded to Stockholm and
on Sept. IS arrived at st. Peters
burg (now Petrograd), where she
was inspected by the American and
oreign ministers and the nobility.
The ship left st. Petersburg on
Sept. 20, 1919, and arrived in Sa-
vannah on Nov. 80. after an alb
sence of 1872 days.
This was the first and last trip
of the Savannah across the Allan
tic. Afterward her engines were
removed and she was used as a
sailing vessel between New York
and Savannah. She was wrecked
off Long Island In 1921.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March T.
National prohibition next July 1
will find only about 100000 900
gallons of liquor in bonded ware
houses, barred from distribution
for beverage purposes, IL the pres
emit demand for whisky continues
during intervening months. Off
cials who have observed the effect
of high taxes in the past believe,
however, that Withdrawals from
bond will decrease under the new
revenue law, and that between co.
O00, 1000 and 100000 gallons
will be left in warehouses July 1.
1t is conceded that 1t is impossi-
BILE to foresee the effect of ap-
preaching prohibition on the de-
mand for liquor to be stored away
by consumers, and officials say a
big movement of buying even I'M
der the increased tax, may develop
and leave the quantity of liquor
left in bond smaller than the ad-
vance estimates.
The estimates do not take into
consideration liquor which may be
stored in cellars or attics of pros
pective consumers. Nor do they
include any stocks which whole
sale or retail dealers may not sell
before the prohibition wave catch

.eOLSHtWSTS SPREAD
DOCTRINES IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, Mar. IL. - Boil
shevist literature is being distrib-
uted among Mexican l%aborers, and
labor leaders, 1t is said, are spread
ing the gospel by word of mouth.
These propagandists, according to
reports, base their arguments on
literature that Is being brought
into Mexico from the United States
by a Bolshevik agent, who is eth
or q Russian or Austrian.
According to the Excelsior, the
propaganda is being carried on Sc
cretly but actively, and that with
ing a short time the results will
show. Several industrial disputes,
the paper adds, we're inspired by
the Bolsheviki. Recent reports
from Vera Cruz say that two Boil
shevik agents had landed there.
Labor troubles in Tampico dur
ing the last year of the world war
were blamed on I. W. w agents
instigated by Germans. The princi-
pal union labor organization of
the country, the Confederation de
Syndicatos Obreros del Distrito
Federal, officially denies any Boil
shevik affiliations or sympathies.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-03-15

The normal rate of demand, as
measured by withdrawal from
bond. had been between 100000
and 100000 gallons a month un-
til last October, when Withdrawals
jumped to S,35S,000. In Novem-
Der they were 9~,5s7,000, and in
December 1t is estimated they ran
over 100000 gallons, while In
January and February indications
are that the demand probably vas
nearer 100000 gallons. Most Of
this liquor was taxed when taken
cut of the bonded warehouses at
the rate of 1920 a gallon. I'm
der the new act, the rate
is doubled, amounting to $6.40.
Consequently the increase amounts
to 1920 a gallon or so cents a
quart, and the aggregate tax per
quart is $1.6O.
BY terms of the pending bill pro-
viding for enforcement Of pro-
hibition under the constitutional
amendment effective next Jan. 16.
the president would be empowered
to appropriate for government
purposes the stock of liquor left
unused in warehouses. The price
to be paid for this would be deter
mined by agreement OF by a spe-
c;al commission.

HINDENBURG SUPPORTS SOLDIERS IN RUSSIA
ASSOCIATES IN WAR MISS AMERICAN TUBS

ARCHANGEL, Mar. II. - The
soldier of the American north Rus
sian expedition misses the Ameri-
can bath tub and its simplicity and
frequency. He is annoyed at the
ceremony and difficulty n must
undergo to obtain a Russian bath.
Only in the homes of the wealthy
in the cities, and rarely, il ever, in
the villages, is it possible to find a
bath tub or q shower.
The Russian bath is a steam
bath in an alright room. where
water is thrown on a stove to make
steam. The bather then .douses
himself literally with buckets of
water after perspiring.
Some of the Americans, fortu-
nate enough to be in permanent
billets or barracks built by the
engineers, have their W modern
shower baths, but those in the viii
lagos ~patronize the Russian institu-
ton.
In Archangel there are two
bath houses, each having accommo-
dations for 100 or so customers in
the steam room, but there r only
two private rooms with tubs and
showers in the bath houses and
these are booked for days in ad-
vance by officers and soldiers.
One of these private rooms is
really a suite, as elaborate as if
it were intended to accommodate a
guest for a week, instead Of for
the brief period of a bath.

DON'T GO TOO EAR, GENTLEMEN

The head of some reforming league or other stated the
ether day that they would have to stop the sale OF all near
beers. things that look like beer, but that do not act like
them. in order to circumvent those who might hide behind
such devices of colorings to sell the stuff that mas what is
called the authority" He said that they could take no
chances and they would have to deprive the people OF even
their innocent beverages to keep out the dangerous ones.
All this is a nice theory of regulation. This particular
anil officer talked as if he and his associates were the sole
regulators of the affairs OF the people. He did not ask what
the people wanted. but what he and his pals were willing
to let them have. The mere people have been entirely subor-
dinated to the whims of the reformers. This is not a world
for the people, but for the moral regulators. They are the
people and the rest are kinds.
But we need to have a care. The sense of freedom is
still something that needs TO be priced. We are not yet all
kinds. 1t used to be said Chat it was better to have England
reeling thorugh life than to see all men ruled with a rod of
iron in the hands of a long faced moral tyrant. The American
people have been very docne in the hands of these men, but
they should not presume too much, nor should they go too far.
We are all willing to admit the evils of alcohol and we are all
willing to get measurably rid of them, but WE are not all
willing to be ordered about by a few bigots who may be not
better than hypocrites, or the kind that Christ defined as men
who like the outside of the platter clean.
We have gone a bit crazy on some of these things, these
assumptiye and presumptive things and before we all wake
I'D in a mad house it may be best to take thought and to have
care. When men talk about taking away this and that from
the people. even to near" beer, because it has the, color of
real beer and also the taste, it is going a bit too far and we
shall deem the American people not only kinds, but fools if
they submit to be talked to and dictated to in such ways.
There are some human rights that are more precious than
anything else.

HOW THEY MAY TAKE TOBACCO

The New York Tribune seems to want to warn the lovers
Of liberty that tobacco may be taken away from them as easily
as alcohol was denationalized. No one dreamed Of such a
thing, but suddenly it became a reality in laws at least. All
that is necessary is to put it up to the legislatures and men
enough will be found who are afraid of their constituents
men who think more of another election than they do of right
or wrong or liberty or tyranny.
But tobacco is somewhat different from alcohol. 1t is
in fact much different. Alcohol sent men staggering through
the streets and sent them home to beat their wives and chill
|dren. but tobocco's effects are invisible. They talk about
tobacco hearts and lungs, but there are also coffee and tea
hearts and lungs and chewing gum hearts and lungs, we
doubt not. One can prove that anything is injurious. Your
vegetarian can prove that all human ailments spring from
meat eating, and no doubt many do have such an origin. 1t
may be proved that men would live longer if they went to bed
at dark and rose with the dawn, but who wants to be told
when to go to bed, after %childhoOds days are over? Whose
business is it if a man wants to clip a few years off the use
less and often burdensOme end of life to live a little faster and
probably better during the bitters years of life? Most of us
want to remain masters of our own lives as we boast we are
masters of our own destiny. The b~usy-bodies are the only
ones whose lives ought to be shortened.
