:C facts. '
A*i eminent authority says that
there is pretty general agreement
that within histm- c times progressive
chanjres of elimau* h:.v;- nor urred.
I:; parts of the United States teniper
ntur? and rainfall reeards have been
kepi for mere than one hundred
years. Taking: New York City and
New Orleans as examples, he states
t.hat ia a ecr.tury of time at New
i'ork and ei}jhty-seve!? years at New
Orleans., the yearly means have not
varied more than five or six degrees,
although it is shown that rainfalls
show a much greater variation.
As in the story of the man who
to taxation, which were found to be
travelled extensively, but "always
took his climate with him," and
never quite found a suitable one*
v. eat her agr'eeablencss is largely a
?natter of acclimation and mental at
:i ta.de. Much as we like to dream of
tinny isles and palm-bedecked ave
ues, the Almighty never intended
iluit all of us should walk around in
?athing suits, or spend all of our
time frolicking after rabbits in snow-.
So lon.tr as we are sober, in
'ustrious, happy, thrifty, co-opera
d conscientious, we ought to .
rake the weather for better or for
wo'se. though the doing of this is a
i v- : i'.e mankind has been slow to
adopt.

t.FSS .MOKBIDITY in the solution of
thv problems wirh which it brings as
: to face.
NATION'S WEALTH INCREASED j
72 PER CENT PAST DECADE I
The wealth of the United States
a the v "d of December, 1-5)2-, on the
best estimates available of all prop
, eiassiried by the Census. Bureau,
u- phiced at $320, S03, 862.000 in
? . j-ort issued at Washington in
j ja iua^y. This was an increase of
.72.:. -jer cent for the decade since
i the ? .") i 2 ct -.sus found the nation's
wealth to be $t 86,291), 6(34, 000.
The Bureau said that many diffi
culties and necessarily wide margins
in the estimate and error in putting
together its calculations made impos
sible the close estimation given to
its population figures.
The item of greatest value in the
category of national wealth was real
estate and its improvements subject
worth $155, 908, 625, qOO. ,
The second item in point of size
was the grouped valuation of the
clothing, furniture, vehicles and like
property of individuals which totaled
$37,816,001,000.
Real estate and its improvements
include building activities. Roger
jBabson, noted economist, gives the i
(passing of the saloon as the outstand
ing reason for the increased building
activities of the past few years. If
Mr. Babson is correct, prohibition,
which has been in effect for five years
has certainly contributed largely to
the increased wealth of the nation.
Clothing, furniture, vehicles and
like property of individuals is also
closely related to the prohibition
question. No one disputes the fact
that the clothing and furniture in
dustry boomed with the closing of
the saloons. Wage earners who for
merly spent much of their earnings
in saloons, with the barrooms closed
turned their attention to buying what
they hitherto considered luxuries,
viz., clothing and furniture. Thus
prohibition has greatly contributed
to the second item in point of size
in the category of national wealth,
viz., clothing and furniture.
THE BOOTLEGGERS
The concensus of opinion with
thoughtful and observing men and
women is. that a firmer hand will
have to take hold of the bootlegger.
He is resorting to the same tactics
of the old-time saloon keeper, who
cultivated the appetite of the youth
so that his supply of customers i
would not become exhausted in time. <
This greed of the saloon keeper for
the youth of the laud had more to do j
v ith wiping out of the saloons than j
:iiiv othr one age'icv. Not all of the'
saloon keepers- were guilty of this j
practice, neither are all bootleggers
trying to contaminate youth; but
those who are guilty are uniting men j
and women of liberal minds around j
the idea of strict law enforcement (
and the punishment of the bootleg
ger. There are men who like to take
their drink on the side; this is not
aiig'e- for they were re :.])>(>(! in a day
when the brew erv was a U'gitinuue
? . :Tr ?' '? ' ' ? i
industry and the saloon a conimer
'
cal house j'l-t as other business
houses. A gi'heijation ago the liquor
Lraffic was Jliffcrently regarded
from now. Today the mind revolts
igains t a drunken youth. This re
volt is -earliest because it is under
mining manhood. *
CRITICISING THE PREACHER
No man has harder people to
serve than the minister of tfcV; gospel.;'
': lis* critics arc many, and the criti
cisms varied. A Texa- paper com- .
meats as follows: "The- proarh .
,vaV a great time. If his hair gray,
he is old. If he is a you i'.g. .nan. he
hasn't had experience. if he h/.V ten
ihii Iron he has ion many; if iie'.has
tie;:e. he isn't a good e"ampie. If !">';?
wife sings in the choir,- she is piasunir
if she lioi sa"t she isn't interest
ed in her husband's work. If a
preacher reads from notes, he is a
'?'ore; if he speak.-. ?. xleripoL\ineoa.;iy
he isn't deep enough. i-i he stays a'
ho.r.e in his study, lie does't mix
enough with the peon! : if he is seen
around the streets, he ought to- be
home, getting up a g nu! M tmon. If h;;
calls on some poor family, he i.- play
ing to grandstand ; if he calls at the
home of the .wealthv, he is an aristo
tiat. Whatever he does >oni,ertne j
could have, told hi rnto do better.'' J
