REVOKINGILIQUOR LICENSES]

son for Revoking Liquor Licenses,
Judge Taylor, in Washington coun-
ty, has startled the holders of liquor li-
censes by revoking all the licenses in a
mining village of his district for in-
fruction of the law. Nevertheless, the
Judge was doing just what the license
law requires him to do.
It is not a new interpretation of the
act. The late Judge Paxson held that
where prooffis made to the Court that
the party holding a license has violated
any of the laws relating to the sale of
liquor the sct is mandatory upon the
Judge to revoke the license. He believ-
ed it was the clear intent of the statute
to take from the Judge, upon proof of
violation of the law, all discretion as to

CORN,
Little Colony Flunted First Seed in 1608,
If a tourist from the other side of the
world should crows the United Btates
in October he would be profoundly im-
pressed by the corn fields. The straight
rows of shocks on the immense farms
in the west could excite the traveler's
wonder as much as the rice fields of
Japan, the tea plantations of northern
India, or the wheat fields of the Nile
astonish and delight the American
who beholds them for the first time,
Corn is the typical American erop.
The farmers are now gathering the
300th harvest of maize. John Bmith’s
little colony at Jamestown planted the
first seed io 1608, and it ie fair to sup-
pose that in no year since then has this
continent been without its corn, Of
course, the Indians were raising it long
before the days of Pocahontas, and the
white man borrowed his first seed from
the red man, as he also obtained from
him tobacco and potatoes,
This country was already selling
corn to Europe 160 years ago. Before
the Revolution Virginia alone export.
ed over half a million bushels annual-
ly. Butin the seventy years follow-
ing the surrender of Cornwallis, Amer-
ica’s corn exports did not grow very
fast. They were 2000000 bushels
when peace came and had only just
doubled when Henry Clay was fight-
ing for his last great compromise in
the middle of the Nineteenth century.
lo recent years, although the Unit-
ed Btates sometimes ships abroad as
much corn in one week as itdidir a
year just prior to the Civil War, still
our exports are not large consideriog
the magnitude of the crop. In round
numbers, America sells to foreigners
one bushel of wheat out of every six
and a half bushels grown, We sell but
one bushel of cornu out of about every
twenty.
Corn is the cereal. It
fattens the bogs, it
helps produce the milk, it makes plen-

with whisky, it adds weight the

It honest and formidable to look
upon, while it is the most beautiful
cereal grown on the face of God's earth,
and at the same time lends itself to
more forms of utility than say other.
It typifies Lhe nation.
From the cracks in a million cribs it
