"Some of these theorists say Is a tonlo for the race." "That may be, but If you ask the British. I'll bet they tell you It Is Teu tonic." ' , i. fir (Coniliirted by the National womap WE CAN AND WE WILL. A few vears as:o I was up In the Interior of China." says Bishop Samuel P. Spreng of the Evangelical church. It was about three years atter mey had determined to do away wltn me opium traffic. The opium tramc la aa great a curse, or was as great a curse In Cblna, as the liquor traffic baa ever been here, and the government de termined to p Jt that traffic away with in ten years. That was In 190C. Three years later In the interior citlea you could not find an opium den except hidden away in the back alleys, In the little places, Just where they have to look for the blind tigers and places of that kind here. By the time the ten years are up that traffic will be blotted out among those four hundred millions of people, and they did that, they un dertook that, In spite of the fact, or In view of the fact, that nearly 28 per cent of their revenues came from the opium traffic. They let the revenue go and looked for other sources of rev- jnue that are honorable and honest and clean, to carry on their govern ment and let the opium traffic go. And say If the most conservative, the bulkiest, the biggest people on the face of the earth can put away the opium traffic Inside of ten years, we Ameri cans ought to be ashamed of ourselvea If we cannot put down the liquor traf fic. And we are going to do It, we are able to do It, we are not going to say that we cannot If we will. We can and we will, God helping us." is. Y1 1 .v'V POOR ADVERTISEMENT. "Our town offers especially strong Inducements to men with growing fam ilies who want to raise their children In the atmosphere of the saloon; no town offers better opportunities for ed ucating the youth In tbe habit of drink ing; we boast of ten saloons, one on almost every corner." 'No one ever saw an advertisement like that and never will," says the Kansas City Star. "There Is not a town In the world that bases Its prosperity on tbe number of its rum shops. Vil lages, towns and cities advertise their good points, not their bad points. They have this and that opportunity for employment. The climate Is more or less wonderful. The transportation facilities are told of. Good neighbors are a valuable asset Tbe town has so many churches and so many schools. If it is without saloons, that good point is made much of as an appeal to men and women with families to come there. But If it has saloons there is never a word about It! That Is bidden, covered up." MUST BE TRANSFORMED. "Our trade cannot afford to longer oppose an aroused publie sentiment," says Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circu lar. "It would be like Belgium stand ing alone against the German empire." And the editor says that in order to defend the trade successfully liquor leaders "must make war on those things that breed opposition nust demand whatever changes are neces sary to adapt our affairs to the de mands of public sentiment." The W. C. T. U., through Us mouthpiece, the Union Signal, Informs "the trade" that it is a change in nature, not in method, which public sentiment is de manding, and reminds the liquor inter ests of the declaration of Mr. Mc Donough, former president of the Na tional Liquor league, to wit: "This talk of reforming the saloon sounds well in the form of a resolution, but It is all rot" The change necessary to adapt the wine and spirits trade to the demands of public sentiment is nothing less than a transmutation. CHALLENGE OF PATRIOTISM. This Is the challenge of patriotism America needs every man at his best, and it Is written in the plan of God for the ages that America shall not fall. Are the progress armies of the great republic less patriotic than the armies of Europe? The armies of Europe have banished intoxicants. Is America less patriotic than Chi na? China has banished opium. Is America less patriotic than Rus sia? Russia has banished vodka. Is America less patriotic than France? France has banished ab Blnthe Daniel A. Paling. By a decision Just rendered by tbe probate court of London, England, thi great battle for the Sllngsby fortune has been decided at last In favor of Teddy Sllngsby, the four-year-old subject of this photograph. The decision in effect declares him to be legitimate son of Charles Raymond Sllngsby. though two brothers of the former lieutenant of the royal navy who settled in San Francisco and married Miss Dorothy Cutler Mnrsnn hav claimed otherwise. Little Teddy becomes heir to an Incomo of $50,000 per year. WANTED BY THE SALOONI One hundred boys for new cus tomers.

"The liquor bill would pay for 60, 000,000 bales of cotton at ten cents a pound about equivalent to four years' production for the catire South," as serted Senator Morris Sheppard in a speech delivered at Little Rock, Ark. "It would pay for 125,000,000 tons of cotton seed at $20. It would pay for all the corn the entire nation ralBea in two years, at the rate of a dollar a bushel. It would pay for all the cattle and hogs Arkansas can raise in two decades." COWL OVER THEIR HEAD8.
