DRUGGISTS AND sALooNIsTs

An odd angle of the prohibition
movement has developed in Ohio,
which has decided to go dry for it.
self before the federal law becomes
operative. The state pharmaceutical
association asks the legislature to
keep saloonkeepers from setting up
as druggists when their places are
closed in May.
This looks. at first glance, like
funny reversal of an old problem
trying to keep saloonists from doing
drug business instead of trying to
keep druggists from doing saloon
business. Somehow, druggists and
liquor dealers seem natural rivals.
But there are special reasons for
the rivalry in the Ohio case.
The saloonkeepers want to go in
to the drug business because the
prohibition law provides that drug
gists will be allowed to handle
wines and alcohol for sacramental,
medicinal, manufacturing and scien-
tific purposes. The liquor men see
in this possibility of continuing
some of their old lines under new
auspices. subject to disagreeable re-
structions Of course, but still prom
Using profit. The druggists are ami
mated both by praiseworthy de-
sire to keep up the standard Of their
profession and by natural yearning
for whatever profits may accrue
from the legitimate sale of wine
and alcohol.

SOLDIER LETTERS
A Letter From Russia

Dear Mother:
Since answering your last letter
l have been transferred to the ma
chine gun company and l sure like
it lot better than the old replace
ment. There's so much more system
here and all the non-coms are old
soldiers. In the replacement battal-
ion ALI our officers were practically
new men to the game and made It
pretty hard for us.
In this company they have grade
system. A, B and c classes-A's can
stay out until $3.50; BIS until 1880
and C's not at all. There is justice
in that, for 1t is a shame to make all
the unoffending suffer for the offen-
ders. Were all kept in 1870 checks
in the replacement. Why, i don't
know. except that they judge the
whole company by a few.

This is sure a funny country.
Hardly any snow on the ground at

snow lasting about "a hours. In the
woods the snow is up over my
knees in places, while where the
wind was felt there Is no snow at
all. Big drifts and bare ice covered
the ground.

RECOGNIZING MERIT IN CON.
GRESS

One of the most hopeful bits of
news coming out of Washington
lately is the report that the leaders
Of the party which will control the
next congress intend to abolish the
seniority rule" in the organization
of house and senate. The plans are
said to include everything from the
speakership down to the chairman
ship of the least important commit
tee.
II this is not true, it ought to be.
Both parties have long operated un-
der the absurd system by which any
representative or senator automatic
ally comes into a committee chair
manship or other place of leader
ship by virtue OF his period of SER
vice in congress, without any regard
to his fitness for the position.
Such a system would be tolerable
only on the theory that every mem
ber of congress was a statesman cap
able of performing any task assign
ed him. Its evils have become very
evident with what most observers
regard as the progressive deteriora-
tion in the personnel of congress in
recent years. The present congress
has been extremely unfortunate in
some Of it's important chairmanships.
The next congress will be unfortun-
ate too, il it does not inaugurate this
promised reform, demanded alike by
the most enlightened members and
by the best sentiment of the nation.
