me of the time I ran for mayor of

campaign n colored gentleman agreed
to deliver 150 colored votes. The ofll-
clal count after the election showed I
received Just 101 votes. Next day I
met my colored friend. I told him I
know positively whence came one of
those 101 votes, but asked him what
became of his 150 colored votes. 'Look

A Unique Metaphor.
A unique paraphrasing of a time
honored metaphor Is recorded In the
Outlook by Mary Dewhurst, reporting
food riots In New York. One of the
hungry women ninong those who pre
sented their grievances to the board
of estimate cried out: "We come to
you gentlemen here with the beeg
bends nnd you tell us that there are
no laws to let you belli us. You can
not take the sails out of our wind
like that." . . .

HOTELKEEPERS. TAKE NOTICE!
It has long been one of the stock ar
guments against prohibition that hotels
could not be profitably conducted with
out a bar, remarks the Union Slgnul. In
some or the campaign states hotel
keepers' associations were formed to
work ngainst prohibition. After a lit
tle more than one year's experience In
a dry state, the New Washington Im
provement company of Seattle Is about
to build a new wing, doubling the
capacity nnd gross earning power of
the New Washington hotel, already one
of the lurgest, If not tho largest, hotels
In the city. The company bus floated
n bond Issue of $00.0( for this nnr.
pose. The manager of the hoi.. Kin t, '
"Business nt the New Washington
for the Inst two yenrs has far exceed
ed our facilities for handling It nnd
during the heavy tourist travel of Mm
summer we have been forced to turn
nwny hundreds of guests." Thus Is It
proved that it Is not In search of booze
that tourists tour, and that u hotel does
not need to resolve itself into a saloon
In order to become a paying investment.
VIEWPOINT OF DISTILLER.
Since the introduction of nnti-whls-k.v
legislative measures the love of the
distiller for his brother, the brewer,
lias grown cold. The following is u
sample of what the whisky men are
saying:
'Until recent years, at least, it was
the custom of Milwaukee parents to
take their children into the vHrlonsi
gardens of the Creum City and fill
their little stomachs with 'suds.' The
high degree of intelligence portrayed
In these beer faces would not hM
brought fortn envy on the part of Pinto
or Homer. We recnll the time when
the employees of one of th in
wnukee breweries threatened to strike
because their dally allowance of beer
was to be cut from four gallons til. fivn.
gallons. It would thus be seen that
there must be somethlnir fllwnt ham
that perpetuates the thirst. Hut, nt
tho same time, it Is admitted by the
nrewers thot beer U a genuine tpm.
pern nee drink."
FAMILY TROUBLES.
Judge William N. OenimlT. fhlonmi.
formerly of the court of domestic re
lations, states that at lenst 7!5 nop nnnt
of all family desertions are due direct
ly or Indirectly to the use of Intoxi
cating drinks. "All our efforts to sup
press crime In the community will ba
futile," he says, "so long as we llr-nsA
7,2,r)0 places where boys are turned
Into bandits and husbands Into wife-beaters."

Friends Make Tommy a Sot,
Sir Alfred I'earce Gould, sneukin.? nt
Kllluini recently and referring to the
effect of drink on soldiers, said that
th( British Tommy was not a drunken
sot; it was the civilian population
that was ut fault. Hospitals should
bo a sacred retreat for soldiers, he
said, yet they would hardly believe
how difficult It was, even there, to
protect the men from the Introduction
of drink from outside. He knew of one
paralyzed and helpless man who was
found hopelessly drunk after bis
friends hud visited him. London

pickle making. United Stutes Depart
