It is useless to make predictions; but it is extremely

If Britain and France do make their blockade stick
the Spanish seems likely to end in victory for the

Liquor Not To Blame

Because of It's many features
and accurate account of all the
news, I believe your paper is
more widely read than any
other paper in this city. So I
will answer one, Joseph Shep-
herd, and try to put some light
on this deplorable condition of
hungry school children.
Mr.. Shepherd seems to think
that legalized liquor has a great
deal to do with this situation Of
hungry school children. I do
not think so, because no one
can deny that everything in gen.
eral is far better now than
when the rum soaks" bought
their gin up a dark alley and
over a back fence, paying a stiff
price for it at that.
Three years ago I was with
the Navy, stationed in San
Diego, Cal. I believe the system
used out there would work out
fine here as it did on the West
Coast, viz:
Each child whose father was
employed brought Is cents to
school with them each school
day, and all the children en-.
joyed a real nice hot lunch
every school day. Of course,
the children whose fathers were
out of work did not bring the
IS cents, but all the boys and
girls Of school age shared in the
lunch. This method would work
here If given a chance.
The next thing I expect to
see blamed on liquor is the
Washington Senators finishing
