Stop worrying for the kaiser and
the other crowned heads Of Europe.
Practically all Of them have enough
property slowed away in such safe
places as America to live the rest of
their days without being disgraced
with work. The lord, dukes, counts
and other royal fixtures are similar
ly we'll fixed against the future. The
car had some $50, 100000 in the
Pennsylvania railroad, but he didn't
get away in time as the kaiser did.
We at least will enjoy keeping their
investments safe and profitable.

Cost of Prohibition

Prohibition. has joined the ranks
of other things soaring in prices. 1t
became known Monday that the
Internal Revenue Bureau already is
figuring On . request to Congress
for an additional appropriation to
carry out the terms of the enforce
ment code wartime prohibition and
prohibition, under the amendment
to the constitution.
The bureau, through the Treasury
Department will be compelled to
ask Congress to appropriate approx
imately $5,O0OO00 in addition to
the appropriation of 100000 in
the Volstead act and the $2,500000
included in the deficiency bill for
the enforcement of wartime prohi
tion About 100000 it is said.
will be necessary for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1921. while from
100000 to $1,OOO,0O0 will be re-
,quired to make up the deficiency
for the current fiscal year ending
, June 80 next.
1t is estimated by the Revenue
Bureau that the prohibition ma
chinery requires more than $3.50,
1O0O month, or about $1,000 a
day. This includes pay for about
1000 additional employees in the bu
reau 10 Washington and in the field,

Who Shall Pay?

That the coal miners are to have
an increase in wages is settled. The
problem confronting the Govern
ment now is how the income need
ed to pay the increase shall be &C.
quired by the mine owners. They
are cheerfully willing to pay the in
crease to the miners after they have
collected all of it from the consumer
by raising the price of coal.
OF course they claim that their
profits are such that they are en-
titled to an incree' prices if
they grant an increase in wages
On this subject there has been an
immense amount of loose talk. Peo-
ple have charged that the owners
have been making fabulous profits.
The owners have said that their pro-
fits are moderate now and no more
than they need to make up losses
sustained in less prosperous times
The public has right to the truth
in this controversy. If prices 60 IL p

The body of Roy Coleman, 20,

seas with the marines, was found
Monday in ravine, one half mile
from his home. in the northern
part ol Marion County, by search
ing party of $50 men.
Coleman had been missing from
his home two weeks. and among the
theories advanced for his disap-
pearance was the after effects of
gas poisoning had affected his mind
and that he had wandered away
from home.
Two weeks ago Coleman told his
relatives that he was going hunting
and he was never seen again until
the boiy was found. Beside the
body was his shotgun. The verdict
of the Coroner's jury was that he
was accidentally killed by the dis
charge of the SHOTGUN when he
slipped from knoll into the ravine

NO PROSPECT FOR
CHRISTMAS DRUNK
UNITED STATES SENATOR WOLCOTT
SAYS HIS PROPAGANDISTS ARE
PURSUING A VAIN HOPE.
COUNTRY DONE WITH EVIL
ALL HOPE ABANDONED, EVEN BY THOSE
WHO ARE THE CHEF PROPAGAN-
DlSTS FOR JOHN BARLEYC0RN.

Washington, Dec. 17.-All hope for
a Christmas drunk" which has the
sanction of law has been abandoned.
even by those who are the chief prop
agandists for John Barleycorn. Sena-
tor WolcOtt of Delaware said if his
chances for getting to Heaven were
no greater than the chance OF having
the liquor ban lifted before the
Christmas holidays he would sell his
hopes Of salvation for five cents. The
Senator declared the liquor propagan-
dists were trying to make more money
out of John Barleycorn dead than
they ever obtained from John Barley
corn alive.
Somebody is paying a very stiff
price for propaganda which will doom
the liquor men to disappointment" :"
said Senator WolcOtt. "The propa-
gandists are still holding out hope that
poor old John BarleycOrn will again
be brought to life and enjoy brief,
but from their point of view, a glor-
iOus existence. They would degrade
Christmas by making it the occasion
for a final glorificatiOn of Bacchus.
But they are going to be disappointed,
our Supreme Court.
Il always believed that the Supreme
Court would sustain the war prohibit
tion law. You can't fool those great
judges with any subterfuge or legal
camoulage. The truth is, the country
is through with John Barleycorn. He
has had a long and evil career, and it
is perfectly fitting that his doom
should be sealed by the worlds great
est legal tribunal.
THE liquor traffic has run its be
bauching course said Senator VOL
colt, "and now the country should pre-
pare to take advantage of the blessings
which the death and burial of that
great evil will bring. In my judgment.
the liquor question will never again
figure in political campaigns. The
people will habituate themselves to
the absence of the saloon, and in few
years hence it will be regarded as
in the nature of an an
tique. Children will ask their par
ents to tell them what a saloon was
and what purpose it served"
Senator Jones of Washington said
the future statesmen will absolutely
refuse to champion the liquor cause
and no man in Congress, unless he
wants to commit political suicide, will
dare to raise his voice in its favor.

The muskrat trapping season, which

low Odessa, when 1876 hides, large and
small, we're sold to Wilmington buyers

animals this season, and the trappers
are selling the hides as soon as possi-
BILE after the rats" are caught. The
