VCTU COLUMN
Wu Tiug Fang, who in char
acteriied as the most iopular
Chinese diplomat ever sent to
Washington, in an interview
- published in Harper's Monthly
thus expresses the sympathy of
his country with the cause of
v prohibition.
1China(, waging war on opium,
recognizee in this fact (Anieri
H ca'a prohibition reform.) a
kindred active moral force
w an,d shaking liandfl
with her sister republic across
: the seas hopes that the latter
. will some day be an free from
alcohol poisons as China hopes
to be of opium. The facts and
' arguments adduced against
strong drink are et forth
; in such a clear convincing man
- Hex in a book written by a tal
ented American woman that soon
I-' after reading it I became a tee-
totaller V
,'t Federal census report h recent
1-ly published show that the num
ber of criminals in the crimnal
e institutions of the forty eight
states per 100,000 population are
' as follows; In the prohibition
Mates, 84; in the near prohibi
tion states, 114; in thte partially
' license states. 118; in the ex
treme license states, 130.
( With regard to pauperism lb
' rports that in thte prohibiton
"Utajtes the number of paupers er

license states, 123; in extreme

. "It took twenty years of pop
ular .pounding to g.t through
Congress the constitutional a-
mendment which makes senators
elective by the people,'' the Bew
erely (MaB.) Times remiuds us.
"Behind It was at no time as a
lert or wiile-spread a .sentimeut
; as the sentiment for prohibi--,
tion which moreover, is or
' ganized and militant . 1 1 is a
crusade rather than a mere be
.lief. It has written itself into
. law In seventy one per cent f
the area of the natfoiu so that
what remains to do to triumph
ia less than what has already
been done.'' And the Brewers'
f (Journal says that "('considering
; what has been accomplished by
; prohibitionists, almost anything
ieems possible, including a fav
orable vote in Congress for the
ridiiculous Hobnob Hheppurd na
tiori wide prohibition resolu
tion".
'That alcohol shortens life is
'abundantly proved by the record
' of f life insurance companys
These tell us that a young man!
of sound health at the age of 20,
who is a total abstainer, who re
mains a total abstainer has a
prospect of life of 45.6 years, and
lives to the average age of 65.6
years. If he is a tippler, or mod
erate drinker, hi prospct of life
is 31,9 years and he lives to the
average of 51.9 years instead of
65.6 years. Hie may never get
drunk once1, but the price he will
pay for being a temperate or mod
era 'drinker is to lose 13. 75
'- years of Wis life.

CERENT COMMIT
HAD, VERY HAD
Day in, day out( he moans and
sighs
And shakes his head in doubt;
His sorrow he can not disguisn
The country's down and out.
The workingman is on the bum ;
it sorely is a crtime
To make a fellow-being glum
They work him overtime.
And lo, the humble farmer 'iiy.
His lot is worse by far;
it takes two loads of wheat to buy
A 1915 car.
i
The railroads are in dire distress;
Ah, brethren, it is tough!
For in dejection they confess
They haven't cars enough.
The bankers, too, are stricken
sore;
When harvest time begins
With one accord they'll raise a
road
And build more money bins.
Small wonder that this patriot
Should be so heavy-oull ;
A pesky Democrat has got
The job he used to hold.
IV. Kcc Maxwell in Peo
ria Journal.
What was probably the first
suffragette plot in history is de
scribed by .1 ami's Baikie in i
communication to the Nationa
ideographic Society, at Washing
ton, I). Ov summarizing the more
recent explorations and excava
tions in Egypt which have done
much to meal tlw history of an
ncient world power.
"We have a very fuM record of
the process against certain ladies
of the 'harem of King Usuueses
III, of the twentieth dynasty,
which exhibits the harem -in
trigue n all its familiar feu
tures", writes Mr. Baikie. "Of
ficials of the harem are bribed,
iuessages are sent out to officers
of the troops from the secluded
ladies, inviting the help of the
army to overthrow the king and
set up a pretender and the re
sources of witchcraft are called
in to insure the success of the
scheme. In this case even the
discovery of the plot did not
put an .end to the machinations
of those concerned. The judges
in the trial were tampered with,
and the result was a highly dis
creditable exjiosure of the corrup
tion of the Egyptian bench as
wvll as that of the harem." 3
