CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.
TtiuMHiHA tho reoort of the Internal
revenue commissioner shows an In
crease In the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor Interests are UHlng
it t,i holster ud their pet argument,
"Prohibition does not prohibit"
Tim rnuson for this Increase is
found, not In the greater consumption
of whisky by the people of the United
RtntPH. hut In various changing conui- .
Hons here and abroad. Ono of thee
Is set forth by tho scrre.tury of ttie
treasury In the following statement:
"NntwithHtantllns the spread or pro
hibition, collections on dlBtllled spirits
f..r the first ten months of the uscai
year showed an Increase over the cor
responding period of a year iiro. lmi
Is due lu great measure to tho effec-'
tlve enforcement of tho Internal rev
enue tax on distilled spirits. It IS
estimated thnt through the campaigns
of tho treasury department against
undergatiglng, equalizing and blockad
ing In distilleries, the revenue of the
government has been Increased by
probably $',000,000 nnnuallly."
A further explanation Is that the
large fpinntlty of spirits shipped from
this country t3 Africa to take the
place of tho P.rltlsh product now
barred from shipment because of the
European war, Is counted In the "In
creased 1 consumption." During the
rn,,r nnillni? June 30. 1915. exports
amounted to 1,0(53,000 gallons; during
the nlm months, July, 101.1, to March,
1!)10, rj,fi.,0,000 gallons were exported.
Then ngain there has been a stendy
decrease In the supply of imported
liquors due to diuVultles of transpor
tation. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches In this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the Internal revenue of the
United States.
Other reasons might bo given, but
these suffice to show how alert the
llquorltes are to seize upon any appar
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public Is to arrive at
Imsty conclusions. It Is not within
the province of the Internal revenue
department to Interpret Its report or
to explain where or how the tns-pald
liquor Is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the Internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor Is sold under prohibi
tion than under license, we shall find
them this fnll lining up with the drys;
we shnll find them during the antl
electlon campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more
states and the territory of Alaska dry.

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.
Tills Is what the Home Life Insur
ance company of New York has to say
about beer:
"Of ull intoxicating drinks. It Is the
most nnlmallzlng. It dulls the Intel
lectual and moral and feeds the sens-
nnl nnd beastly nnture. Iseyond an
other drinks, It qualifies for delib
erate nnd unprovoked crime, in tins
respect it Is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will com-
mlt murder only under tne dirci ex
citement of liquor, a beer drinker H
capable of doing It In cold M-.O'i.
Long observation has assured as inai
nronortlon of murders delib
erately planned and executed, without
passion or mnllee, with uo otner mo
urn than the ncnulsltlon of property
or money, often or trifling value, are.
perpetrated by beer drinkers.

NATIONAL DUTY.
wtw.rpver vou find these poor crea
Mima nhnso brains are shattered f
wherever you find human beings hud
died together in wretchedness, wner
pvnr vou find men living hi a condi
tion of vice and crime, they all bear
testimony that drink Is the prime
agency In the creation of these un
sightly masses of pain and degrada
tion; and I say this, that tne govern
mpiit would fall ablectly In Its duties
If, through any base fear of any force
or combination of forces, they should
shrink from doing all in their power
to cut from the social organism this
most malignant growth that drains
the vitality of the nation. Rt. Hon.
D. Lloyd-George.
WE DID NOT KNOW.
A leaflet Industriously circulated by
the liquor forces, puts to Its readers
the following query: "Did you know
that Vermont, on March 7, 1010, voted
two to one to return to locnl option
after CO years of prohibition?"
"No, we did not know It, nor snail
we ever know It. And for the best
of reasons IT IS NOT SO I"
Vermont has had option for years.
Fully 80 per cent of the population
live under prohibition by local vote.
Tho vote of March last was a vote to
remnln under thnt regime. The Union

RESULTS ARE BEST ARGUMENT.
At tho national convention of Indus
trial commissioners held nt Columbus,
O., Mr. Wayne O. Williams, commis
sioner from Colorado, made this forc
ible statement concerning the situa
tion In that stnte: "I want to say to
th industrial commissioners assem
bled hero and to the nation, that pro
hibition has proven an unqualified
success In Colorado. It Is exceeding
our fondest hopes and expectations.
Its success has mndo converts much
faster than mere argument can maks
converts."
SAFETY RULES.
The California industrial accident
commission has Issued a set of safety
rules prepared by mine operators and
miners themselves. The first rule in
tho list Is : "You are forbidden to take
wine, beer or other Intoxicating liquor
Into the mine."
TRUTHFUL TESTIMONIAL.
"My stomach was so weak M
wouldn't hold water. Since beginning
to drink your beer I have swallowed a
