VAMPIRE TRADE.
The following quotation Is from a
speech delivered at a business man'
meeting In Liverpool, Knglnnd, by Mr.
Alfred Ilooth, head of the Cuuurd
Steamship company. The Amerlcaa
citizen who advocates "preparedness"
for pcuce or for wur will dq well
to ponder these tilings :
"The most glaring example of a form
of consumption which wo could per
fectly well dispense with Is thfl drlnlt
tru flic. I am not thinking now of the
temperance side of the question. Im
portant though that Is, wo have got far
beyond that now. 1 um thinking of
the demand which the trade makes
upon the services of our ships, our
railways and curts, and of our lubor.
Thirty thousand tons a week of barley
and other products are brought Into
this country for tho brewing and dis
tilling trades! Think of the demand
which this makes on the depleted re
sources of our mercantile murine.
Then ull this stuff, together with tho
larger quantity which is grown at
home, has to be carted and hauled by
rail to the brewery or distillery. Then
it has to bo brought back again and
distributed to the consumer. In addi
tion to this, C,Ot0 miners are kept per
manently employed In getting coal, and
:i(l,(HX) tons of coal to bo sent every
week to these breweries and distil
leries. Taken In the nggregate, the
services absorbed by this trudu are
on a gigantic scale, uud the net result
of It all is a decrease In national edl
ciency. I say In ull seriousness that,
if we are to maintain our urates In
the field, we shull before lotig huve to
choosu between bread und beer."
SENSIBLE ARGUMENT.
This from the Dully Oklahomnn:
"The ardent prohibitionists nuike ex
travagant claims for their policy, with
w hich It Is not necessary to ugree. Hut
If anybody can produce one sensible
argument lu behalf of tho saloon, ho
can get rich a good deal quicker than
Mr. Walliligford. The brewers will be
tprlnkle him with diamonds and the
distillers will upholster his purse with
million-dollar bills.
"The silence remains unbroken. It
can't be done. There simply Isn't a
word to say for the saloons. How
they nmnuged to hold on us long ns
they have Is one of the mysteries. It
Is ulso one of the most serious re
lleitions upon our capacity for self
government. 'Tosterlty Is going to have a good
deal to wonder about. Among tho fol
lies of the fathers will stand the su-
loon."
SHORTAGE IN COLORADO.
The state penitentiary of Colorado
Is threatened with a shortage of oc-,
cupaiits unless something Is done at
ouco to stop the ravages of prohibi
tion. For a period of approximately
ten weeks this year, from. May 1 to
July 14, the penitentiary received but
41 prisoners, less than one-third of the
137 prisoners which were sentenced
during the same period of 1015. Dur
ing July of lust year 33 prisoners were
admitted to the penitentiary. Up to
July 18 of this year only one lonely
victim was received. "That," says
Warden Tom Tynun, "the story of
Prohibition In Colorado given in a nut
shell." Poor Colorado! Here Is a chance for
Tom Gilmore to fly to her relief with'
some of the lutest brewery-distilled
nu'iiufuctured "facts." Louis Albert

WHY A NUISANCE?
Why is a slaughter house a nuis
ance? r.ecuuso Its noisome odors can
not be confined to the luud on which It
Is situated.
And who has a right to complain of
a slaughter house? Kverjone has a
right to complain as soon as the odors
of the slaughter house reach him.
And why Is n saloon tt nuisance?
Ilecause Its evil inllucnces cannot bo
confined to the block lu which It Is
located or to the city which licenses
It to do business. ,
And who has a right to complain
of a saloon? Everyone who lives with
in tho rudius of Its evil Influence
everyone who suffers from tho use ot
the liquor which he sells. William Jen
nings Brynn.
TOLL OF THE BREWERY.
Such horrors as a great modern
Joint-stock brewery perpetrates are
unrivaled In the w hole world's history.
Men In past centuries were made chat
tel slaves. Hut the slaves, kept their
health. Men have been killed by thou
sands; but the children of tho mur
dered remained living. Now they ninko
slaves of them nnd murder them at the
same time. They kill them together
with their children and children's chil
dren. They kill them slowly j they tor.
ture them slowly to death. ,
LARGE REDUCTION.
According to the official report of
the Internal revenue department, the
number of barrels of beer sold In the
United States during tho first tea
months of the present flscul year, be
ginning July 1, 1015, have decreased
2.2JC,(170 barrels, as compared with
the first tea months of tho previous
year.
RID OF DRUNKARDS.
The only effectual way to get rid
of drunkards is to cease their creaV
tlon.
WHAT THEY GET.
A bushel of corn produces four gal
lons ot whisky. This retails nt $10.
Of this the fanner gets 25 cents; tho
U. S. government gets $1.50; the rail
road gets $1; the distiller gets $ 1; the
draymnn gets 25 cents; tho suloou
mnii gets ?0; the ' consumer gels
drunk; tho city or the charity s
clety gets the wlfo and children to
tupport.
REPRESS PROHIBITION.
i There is oue way of reptiwln; rro
liililtion. Give It the earth.
