BOOZE PRICES RISE AS
 VISITORS FLOOD FRANCE

PARIS, July 21.-Influx of viait- ing foreigners from parched land has unduly raised the price of French wines and liqueurs.
 This is implied in protest made by a congress of hotel keepers meet ing at Bourges against the whole sale prices set by wine merchants.
 They are going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs," the au- thor of the protest declared.
 The hotel keepers also protested vigorously against the "taxe-- de se- jour" at summer and winter re- sorts and touring centres. Accord ing to a letter received from the ho tel keepers of Chamonix, the tax is characterized as "imbecile" and 'paralyzing the efforts of hotel keepers to attract business".

sT>HE Ontario Argus which newspaper is supporting
Sinnot for denomination, has offered the man from
The Dalles very doubtful compliment:
mot for what Mr.. Snnott has done, particularly in the
past especially for this section of his district but for the
position in which he is placed where he certainly
should be able to be of real aid the Argus believes he
should be nominated"
In another part Of the same editorial the Ontario paper
says:
Though not alone responsible Mr. Sinnott must accept
with others portion of the blame for the fact that Ore
gon has never received its share of the reclamation
funds"
In conclusion the Argus has this advice:
he Argus believes that Sinnott should be nominated
once morethen If evidence Of ability to procure aid
for the 0wyee is extant that another be selected"
In other Words that Ontario supporerof Mr. Snnott is
disappointed in his record but the sake of politics
something else is willing to give him one chance.
Why daily when the facts are so clear? The Sinnott
slogan the ballot is that he has had 10 years experience
on the public lands and irrigation committees Therefore
he has been placed all the time that he should have been
able his district we'll But he has not done So His
record Of results is negligible and the main claim in his be-
half is that he secured an appropriation to fight the
pine tree beetle, whatever that may be- On the other
hand Mr. Sinnott has betrayed the civil service and ex
ated the spos system to the injury of the postal depart

Pickpockets Fight
Shy of Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-Pick-
pockets fight shy of the Quaker City.
No, II is not because sticking people
up" is easier, but because picking
pockets as q profession Is no longer
profitable here.
Two things have wrought the
change. The first is a neat law which
permits light-fingered gentry to spend
ninety days in Jail without being TAX
en- to court. Only a charge of vag-
rancy Is needed to secure this sentence
from a Magistrate.
The other and more potent cause
is skiold, that being the number of
men on the recently organized pick
pocket squad" of the city's detective
force.
Candidates for the squad were first
put through a course of lessons in
picking pockets which made them al
most as skilled as the professional
thief. However, their purpose was to
make the seluths acquainted with the
various wiles of the dips" Upon be-
ing turned loose the results attained
by the squad were miraculous. Many
pickpockets suddenly found them
selves guests of the city lookup.

Taking of Finger
Prints Sinplified
By Latest System

SAN QUENTIN. Cal. May IL
From behind the walls Of san Quen-
tin Prison has come a solution Of I
problem which has baffled expert.
the world over ever since the first
introduction Of the fingerprnt system
OF Identification.
Ii is a single impression system
simplified method which would
make it possible to identify each one
Of the earth's millions OF inhabi-
tants without leaving shadow Of a
doubt.
The inventor is Walter s Crosskey,
an Englishman. sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for the Staying of a San
Francisco saloon kkeeper under the
name of ]. ]. Walters
Crosskey did not allow imprisOn-
ment to embitter him. Instead he set
about improving the condition about
him. He became the first instructor
of class in psychology in the prison.
Desire for mental stimulation caused
him to request assignment to the pris-
on Bertillon room. Here he began a
study of Identification and learned
through the journal of the Royal So
ciety that experts were seeking to de-
wise a system of single fingerprint
classification.
He spent fifteen months oe inten-
sive study on the subject AMI finally
perfected his system. which has met
with the approval of the experts to
whom il has been submitted. Cross
key is now securing patents on his
system in all countries and has COM
pleted book describing it.
Crosskey says his system will revo-
lutionize the science, ana its adoption
by banks, business houses, insurance
companies. railroads and other insti-
tutions doing business where person.
al Identification is necessary, including
passport and election bureaus, will
minimize such frauds as check for
geries, incendiarism for gain, ticket
scalpng and the like. Positive iden-
by telegraph will likewise
be made possible, he asserts, and
al lthese advantages, II
will afford a basis for character read
ing when a child is young, enabling
the proper cultivation of traits, char
acteristics and gifts and the shaping
of careers.
As proof of the simplicity of his
system. Crosskey claims that 5000
records could be filed in cabinet

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS
ARE MOST DANGEROUS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, May r..
Some turn out to be "cake-eaters,
others swing to the other limit and at
eighteen are desperate criminals.
The old hardened criminal has
been crowded off the pathway of
crime by the "hoy bandit"
This is the declaration of w. j.
Clark, police officer for twenty-seven
years, now chief of police of this city.
1.-THE age of the average criminal
has dropped from thirty to thirty
five years to eighteen years" Clark
said.
'rhe youthful criminal Is more
prone, to kill than the old hardened
law violator. He generally gives his
victim chance"
"But get the young criminal in a
| tight place and the first thing he doe.
is to shoot" Clark declared, basine
his statement on the records of his de
| partment.

ARGU MENT

Men will sit down in solemn wise
TO wrangle questions. most pro-
found,
But meanwhile under sunny skies
Uncounted pleasures will abound;
Orchards will bring their trees to
fruit,
The woods will fairly ring with song,
And joys that are beyond dispute
Will cheer the traveller along.
I would not spend my years with
doubt,
Nor ponder dry and dusty books,
When there's so much of JOY about,
But, like the laughing streams and
brooks,
would go downward to the sea
With all the morning brings, con-
tent,
Trusting in God for what's to be,
Nor answering Him with argument.

] fancy to the end of time
Men will dispute with one another,
And for the dollar and the dime
Brother will quarrel with his
brother;
Sages will grayely stroke their chins
And argue questions wise and deep.
And then at last with all their sins
Fall into long unbroken sleep.
Meanwhile the hollyhocks will bloom
And overhead the skies be blue,
Laughter will ring within the room
Where hearts are light and friend
ships true;
And while men quarrel, birds will
sing,
And as they fret their hours away
Debating some disputed thing,
Night will have closed lovely day.
