NoRWAY's BAN ON SPIRITS

When one reads that Norway has
voted for prohibition by A2S,455 to
2S4, 1877 a false impression is liable to
be left in the mind. There was no vote
on red wine, white wine or beer. That
is in accord with the general policy
0f the Scandinavian countries to treat
spirits, rum, whisky, brandy, gin, ETC.,
os thing distinct from the milder,
vinous, fermented and brewed bever-
ages. A century ago the free and indie
pendent still on the farm in Norway
was peril, After various experiments
the Gothenburg system was adopted ii,
1871. This plan put municipal mo-
nopoly of the sale of spirits in the
hands of corporation of public spir-
tied men who subscribed to stock to
acquire the shops and finance the bus
mess, but not for profit. Agents in
charge were forbidden to have any in
terest in sales. Pure liquors were in
sisted on. After per cent had been
paid on the stock the rest went to pub
lie utilities. OF recent years Norway
has alsu had local option. A munich
rality had the right to bar spirits if 1t
so voted.
That Christiana voted almost four
to one against prohibiting the SAFE of
heavy liquors is interesting. 1t shows
that the cleavage between rural and
city sentiment on this issue Is the same
in Norway az in the United States.
This is the first plebiscite in Europe
on spirit prohibition. 1t is almost GER
tain that no continental country out
side of the Scandinavian group would
vote the same way. Some doubt may
exist about England. Heavy liquors
are not so popular there as they We're
there Is a growing element in the
electorate that would like to ban them.
That, in our time, John Bull will give
up his ale and his wine is phrophecy
that even a confirmed prohibitionist
would reasonably shrink from.

CLARK AND THE PRESIDENCY.

I'M URING debate in the house of rep
lLjj resentatives Tuesday, Champ Clark
jokingly remarked that he was willing
to send a youth Of 50 to the White
House." AS he is just that age both
sides Of the house took the remark
as indicating that the former speaker
would enter the presidential race.
They cheered the announcement only
to have damper thrown onto the
enthusiasm by Mr.. Clark when he said:
But l would want to know the iden-
tity of this 69-year- youth"
Champ Clark is one of the veteran
leaders of the Democratic party. He
is recognized by his colleagues as
Presidential timber. There is every
probability that President Wilson will
not be candidate to succeed himself.
Democracy will have to search about
for another Moses. To many of the
Jeffersonians, Champ Clark has every
qualification to fill the bill
While this veteran representative in
the house may have been joking when
he said he was willing to consider the
presidency, the remark probably has
real political significance. The fact of
the matter is Champ Clark is really
willing.

DENT
(NeW York Worldly


So far as the statements of physic

cerned nothing is disclosed as to the
real nature of his illness except that it
mas been alarming. To say that a pa :
tent Is suffering from nervous exhaus-
ton is to deal in vague generalities.
when professional men can make
nothing of the bulletins issued from
the White House 1t is natural that the
iaity should speculate and theorize to
the utmost. AS rsult of this we have
GOSSIP and rumor in full cry, some of
the Inventions being sensational and
some malicious. and all of them dis
quoting. Denials of these reports have
been made in specific cases, but un-
doubtedly they will persist so long as
secrecy is maintained.
The incapacity of the president from
any cause is Of vital public interest
His personal welfare Is a matter of i'm
portance to all good citizens, but above
every consideration of sympathy is the
right of the peopae to be informed as to
his actual condition. From the begin
ming of his illness until the present
moment not a word has come from the
sick chamber that could be regarded
as frankly enlightening.
Mystery begets justification. and to
no valid purpose. 1t is to be presumed
that his physicians know the nature of
his malady. They are public characters
treating public character. In the
fierce light that beats upon them and
their patient there can be no privacy
that is not mischievous It is their
duty to tell the truth. Whether agree
able or not, that alone will silence the
scandal mongers and panic breeders.

ExoNERATING THE FARMER.

NAN HEAT is the key crop to Ameri-
wv can agriculture. The things the
city man does not know about the
wheat crop are just illustrative of what
he does not know about farming in
general Among the things on which
his mind has ceased to function Is the
perfectly self-evident fact that the
farmer can not profiteer.
To profiteer involves controlling the
supply and setting the price at level
which involves making large profits.
The farmer can not control the supply,
does not and has never set a price,
There are 100000 individual farms In
America and every farmer sells what
he raises in competition with every
other FARMER, at a price fixed by the
purchaser. And he buys his necessities
in the open market at what the vendor
asks for them, and CANDLES his capital
and the labor of himself, his wife and
his children from two years old up
against the weather. plant and animal
diseases and insect pests, to get his
crop without any assurance of even
an average crop, without at any time
more than the probability that he will
have a market, and without any as
surance at any time that the market
price will make him a profit.
