"Because one man out of ten makes a fool of himself Is no reason why the, other nine should be deprived of the pleasure of drink." Replying to this prollquor argument, Clarence True Wilson, prohibition speaker, suys : "Yes; but It does' not stop with one man's making a fool of himself. The trouble Is that he mukes, too often, a wild beast of himself. The trouble Is that In that condition he Is liable to make a corpse of somebody else. If one mun out of ten, or one out of fifty, turned out by a suloon Is fur the time being a maniac, It Is ubout time to shut up the saloon and let the other forty-nine men gratify their appetites In a less hazardous way. If one coat out of every ten mode from South American wool were found to engen der Insanity In tho wearer, would tho public do right to puss a law, If neces sary, preventing the manufacture or sale of such coats? If one man out of every ten thnt at Ice cream was found to be afflicted with an Incurable dlseuso tliut mudo hi in a danger to piiKsers-by, how long before the law would throttle the Ice cream restau runts? "If liquor were an entirely new" thing, Just Introduced Into tho country, und the effects were at once ascer tained to be what they are known to be, a prohibitory law would bo passed by acclamation." DEER. Tho Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress' concluded thut while whisky and brundy made a man crazy, beer tends to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of the University of Zurich Bays: "Tho drinking of beer has killed the Ideals and ethics and has . produced an in credible vulgarity." The reason for the sottlshness Is that each pint of beer contains a small quantity of pure alcohol, a percentage of lupulln, the active principle of hops, which acts very much like the poisonous principle of Indian hemp. At one time Indian hemp was used as a medi cine, but It hud to be abandoned on account of Its varying and poisonous characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, an other authority, says' thut beer and wine drinking countries such as France, Germany, Belgium and Ba varia, are more alcohol soaked than the whisky and brandy countries, and states that tho beer danger Is much greater than the spirit danger. - CRIPPLES MINE INDUSTRY.

Cltlwni National. tUi.DUS ui.uw Mimin County Na- Uonal W.M W.W T1.W CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. The Internal revenue depnrtment of tho United States has made public fig ures from Its 1915 report which defi nitely and conclusively dispose of ono of the stock arguments of tho liquor Interests, nniuely, that prohibition does not prohibit and that with tho growth of dry territory the consumption of liquor Increases. Notwithstanding in dications on every hand to the con trary, journals of the liquor trade, antl-prohlbltlon platform orators and writers of liquor publicity articles In the general press reiterate the state ment that legislation has not had, and never will have, any effect upon the amount of liquor consumed. The statis tics given out by the Internal revenue department, to the effect that the in ternal revenue tax on spirituous liquors is decreasing at the rate of $1, 250,000 every month, most effectively; dispose of these falsifications. MODERN WAY. The newest and largest of United States battleships, the Mississippi, was christened with water from the Mississippi river. When people stop to consider the symbolism of the chris tening rite, religious or nautical, wa ter Is Invariably chosen. In days gono by, spirituous liquors were generally) supposed to give long life and to bring good luck, but tho revelations of sci ence have thoroughly exploded that belief. As Is well pointed out, the christening of a ship with champagne or anything contnlnlng alcohol, the symbol of destruction and death, Is an absurdity and a confession of Ig norance, y
