Another Voice for Grant.

Omaha. May Ito the Editor Of
The Ree, have been very much in
teresied In articles appearing in the
newspapers recently about that great
statesman and soldier. General
Grant. An article appearing In The
Zee on sunday, April 80, written by
that eyer'loyai Grand Army patriot,
Captain c, y, Adams. comes the
nearest doing justice 10 this great
American citizen of anything ! have
read yet,
l would like 10 say that II any
one knows anything al all about the
town OF Gaiena. H., In tho civil war
times. they would readily see how
and why such slnnderous stories
would be circulated about this ciii-
zen who made such a glorious record
In the preservation OF the United
States.
rhe most outstanding fact con-
corning these reports about General
Grant being drunkard. a pauper
and a disgrace In that tho report 10
absolutely false.
Another outstanding fact Is that
any one who knows anything ut all
about Galena and vicinity, more es-
peeially during civil war times, knows
that this was very prosperous and
extensively worked lcad-mininH dis
strict: also was tho terminus OF the
Illinois Central railroad at that time.
and the lead miners AZ majority
were men who worked on the rail-
road grading. and when the road was
finished this far great many OF
these men got work In the lead
mines. II you know the kind OF men
who used to work on the railroad
grade with the pick and shovel you
would readily know something of the
class that It WAS necessary to deal
with In those days.
There was not spot In the north
where "copperheads" were so nu-
merous or so vindictive. and. as they
were 80 radically opposed to any
and all such men as General U. 8.
Grant, one can readily see where
and why such nefarious reports
originated. II is true that Grant
worked for his father and his
brother. Orville Grant. in what was
called leather store: not tannery.
as was stated In another sheet print
ed in Omaha. II is also seemingly
true that General Grant did not have
that adaptability TO business matters
that would tend to make him a busl-
ness man, generally speaking, his
special born adaptability not having
been discovered at that time. but
which was SO grandly and gloriously
developed soon after. and a great
man with ability to fill the highest
office in the land. and that with
credit to himself and this great
United States. and no man ever re-
ceived such great honors abroad as
did General Grant on his trip around
the world.

Made Cross-Eyed by Thirst

The misunderstanding remark heard so
often nowadays, Il tell you | never saw so many
drunken men on the streets before prohibition as
see now doesn't oyerwhelm anybody who
enjoys memory Of any length running back
over the progress OF temperance reform. This
sort OF observation is all old familiar friend,
grown only bit hoaricr and shabbier with the
lapse of the years. An age ago, when towns in
the west first began to vote out the saloons
under local option there was certain brand Of
travelling statesmen forever coming by and tell
ing you: Il can always spot one of these local
option places just as soon as land at the sta
ton; there's always lot of drunken buns hang
ing around the station But it's never that way
in saloon town." Or your neighbor with a
tone of supreme disgust at such hypocrisy"
would assure you: Il have just visited that dry
town in the next county and you see more
drunken men OIL the streets there in an hour
than you would in any wet town in week"
Well, it was none of it true, of course. No
need of statistics to disprove such talk. Human
nature was plenty to explain the whole case.
These men hated prohibition-so when they came
where prohibition prevailed, they looked for
signs to discredit it. Where the saloon held
sway they never thought of watching for
drunks;" so they saw none. 1t was only where
animosity toward the dry law sharpened their
wits, that they took note of the facts that their
prejudice wished to see. 1t is just SO now with
national prohibition. No friend of the drink
traffic ever took census Of the cases of ntoxca-
ton he saw before prohibition went into effect;
they were matter Of course then; he paid no
attention IT'S literally true that he-emphasiz-
ing "he"-sees more DRINKS now than he used
to; he is looking for them now. But people
whose eyesight is not complicated with their
thirsts or their sellshness, whose memories
actually can paint real picture of ten years
back, don't talk that way. Their common sense
teaches them better.--Continent.

The report contain si,cmized transactions OF ting

in the matter OF transfer OF surplus material and

sively the great changes that have been effected by
the adoptonof business methods in handling gov

Note should be taken Of the fact that the in

ordered by congress, mainly due to increase in

overcharges and good roads; increase in trust
fund investment; increase in amount for reduc-
ton of public debt, and increase in interest pay
ment on public debt.
A study Of the report in detail affords much
that is enightening. The item OF transfer OF
property from one department to another, or the
sale Of surplus supplies and materials from one
TO another, shows total saving Of 81 200 1868.
Total savings effected in the several departments

Bolsheviks Are Dissatisfied

LAUSANNE. Dec. 9.-(By \. p
Proof that Bolsheviki Russia is
highly dissatisfied with Turkey be-
cause Ismet Pasha has abandoned
the Russians on ;be question of the
Dardaneues WIS found today when
NJ Tchitcherin. Soviet foreign min
lister, issued an urgent invitation 10
the Turkish journalists and in the
course OF long speech warned
them Of the dangers of placing
their trust i'm the allied nations.
NJ. TChitcherin did not want TO
say anything n the way of criticism
of the Turkish plenipotentiaries but
thought the Turkish people at home
should know Of the trend of things
at Lausanne lie had a distinct inn
preston, he said, that war between
Turkey and the rOwers was still
going on. Usually wars were fought
on the battlefield. but at Lausanne
the war was being waged around the
green table and the goal was 10
separate Turkey from Russia. Aft
erwards the great powers would de-
feat Turkey and Russia or sepa-
ratey.
Tchitcherin charged France had
abandoned Turkey in favor Of En-
gland. and the consideration was
probably some concessions on the
reparations problem from England
Favors Russ-Tufk Alliance.
But it remains to be seem he
continued. how far France and En-
gland will agree when the Brussels
conference is held"
lie rejoiced that Turkey and Rus
Aa had finally come together be-
cause they were vitality important TO
each o,hcr; their interests were the
same.
The independence and strength
OF Turkey is security for Russia" he
added. "anad Turkey cannot be
strong and Independent unless the
straits are closed" The Bo!shevi6i
leader declared that to allow for
eign warships TO PASS through the
straits would mean the handing over
OF Constantinople TO the nation with
the strongest navy. Naval units
would seize COnstantinoEle, then at
tack Russia.
Therefore. il Constantinople was
in danger. Russia also was I'm terror.
Turning his attention 10 England.
Tchitcherin told the Turkish CORE
spoudents that Great Britain had
her eve on northern Persia. The
way 10 northern Persia was through
