BUT THEY ARE "CHEAP" AMERICANS.

Announcement has been made that- the government is to sue some two hundred American tourists to whom it loaned funds at the outbreak of the European war in their frantic efforts to get out of that country and return to the peaceful "home of the brave and land of the

Prohibition, Then What? By James C. Kelly Prohibition is offered as a final and satisfactory solution of the liquor problem. Granted that this be true, it would naturally follow that the state or community which adopts prohibition would rid itself forever of the troublesome “wet” and “dry” agitation and summarily abolish the consumption of alcholic beverages. Unfortunately for prohibition and the political units which have adopted it, however, it has failed to fulfill its glowing promises. Always, after prohibition is adopted, there is still the task of making it perform according to schedule. This in itself has invariably been found to create more disturbance than the original prohibition agitation and with equal regularity it has failed to diminish the consumption of strong drink. Maine and Kansas have had prohibition for many years. In the former state there is no contradiction of the assertion that liquor is sold openly. Politically, Maine is in a constant turmoil because of the “wet” and “dry” agitation which, however, assumes the form of a “law enforcement” and a “no-law enforcement” question. Think of it! A state in which the sale of liquor has been illegal for half a century, still divided, not on the question of repealing prohibition, but on whether or not to ignore it. That’s how prohibition settles the liquor question. Kansas, long a “dry” state, faces a different problem. Kansas, where prohibition is always politically expedient, faces the difficult task of setting a brilliant prohibition example for the nation, in spite of the official figures showing its liquor bill averages well with the license states. Recently it was shown by the records that a certain Kansas city has a record fordrunkenness which would make the ordinary license town look like a chautauqua. An officer of this “dry” community soon explained the enigma, however. In Kansas, he said, a man is arrested when his breath smells of intoxicants, but in license territory there must be visible as well as olfactory evidence. So it seems that in Kansas a policeman, in addition to other qualifications, must be a good breath smeller. Absurd as this may seem, it is the extreme to which prohibition of the use of liquors would lead us. The experience of these two states proves conclusively that prohibition is no solution of the liquor problem. It is a sort of public “swearing off” followed by secret and hypocritical breaking of the pledge.- 'Adv.

free.’’ They were without money and could not raise funds on their letters of credit, so the big, generous hand of their home government was stretched out across the waters and they were enabled to return home. And one would naturally suppose that they would have been so grateful for the succor extended them in their hour of need that they would have paid back the loan as soon as they reached America and could have arranged to secure the money. Not so, however, with some two hundred of these dishonest and cheap-skate Americans, although financially able to repay the loans, and now drastic measures are to be adopted to induce them to "cough up." Speaking of the matter, the Indianapolis News says: The state department may have to establish a credit bureau, not so much to extend credit, as to examine the rating of prospective borrowers. It is announced that more than 200 New Englanders, who borrowed money from the United States government through consuls in Europe during the times of stress immediately following the declaration of war, are to be sue-. These 200 individuals, who had enough money to make the European trip, and who, presumably, had enough to return under ordinary conditions, do not seem to have enough now to pay their just obligations. It is an illustration of the smallness of human nature. According to the assistant . United States treasurer, who has the

collections in charge; Americans of foreign birth have been more prompt than the native-born citizens in repaying the loans. This is a reflection on patriotism, it is not pleasing to contemplate. It appears that ordinary gratitude would prompt these tourists to repay the government that assisted them. Remembrance of the dreadful in which the tourists found themselves should hasten payment. When the war began thousands of Americans were in Europe. Many were in the central countries, and these, more than the ones in the British isles, felt immediately the ill effects of the outbreak. Their travelers’ checks became worthless for the time. Their letters of credit could not be redeemed. Banks were closed and only the solid metal of the country in which they happened to be was of immediate use.' As is the custom with most travelers, these tourists —or most of them--had little gold about them. The cancellation of regular train service and the demoralization of business left them helpless. Some were separated from their baggage. In their distress they appealed to the consuls.

In turning over the pages of the newspapers of August, September and October, 1914, memory may be refreshed. It is shown that these stranded tourists looked on the Stars and Stripes at the American consulates with emotion. The consuls gave first aid. In some instances they supplied money for emergencies out of their own pockets. Later, through special congressional enactment, they had sufficient to finance the return of any legitimate traveler. Two hundred delinquents may not seem to be many out of the thousands thus aided, blit these 200 are found only in the half dozen states of New England. It is not improbable that many more are scattered throughout the country. The government ought to collect these debts. If the tourists are ungrateful and neglectful, they should be compelled to pay the amounts of the original loans, together with court costs and interest. Such recourse would naturally present itself to a private money lender, and we can not see that the case is much different when the government is the creditor. Indeed, it is to the shame of these Americans that the government is driven to the courts.

Oxford Postmaster Resigns.

Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 27.—James Pickering, postmaster at Oxford, Ind., today sent his resignation to the postmaster general. Hie is a Republican and has held the office six years. About a week ago W. B. Piatt, a postoffice inspector, made an inspection of the books at the Oxford postoffice. The accounts are said to have been found correct, but Pickering had been slow in submitting some of his reports. His assistant has been sick and Pickering says he has been doing all the business of the office alone. Pickering said that conditions had been made bad for him by numerous aspirants for the offiefe and that he decided to resign for this cause. His term would have expired in January. Ralph McConnell, who at one time made the race for state senator against Will R. Wood, will probably be appointed to succeed Pickering.

The Unswatted Fly. Who would suppose that in one state the unswatted fly, by a month of extra life, due to late warmth and rains, could inflict upon one industry a loss of $2,000,000? Yet according to official authority this has happened in Kansas. The state of sunflowers also raises 1,000,000 head of beef cattle every year. In the past month an average loss in weight per steer- of 25 pounds, due to extra tail switching and nervous strain, makes up the above total. The loss does not stop there. Mules will not work and horses lie down in the fields and roll around. So if we have to pay more for beefsteak or corn muffins this coming winter, some of the excess can be charged to that übiquitous .pest of home and field, the buzzing, disreputable fly. Not in vain is the gradually growing effort to put him into the discard. —Boston Advertiser.

DON’T WAIT Take Advantage of a Rensselaer Citizen's Experience. When the back begins to ache. Don’t Wait until backache becomes chronic; ’Till kidney troubles develop; ’Till urinary troubles destroy night’s rest. Profit by a Rensselaer citizen’s experience. Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College ave., Rensselaer, says: “My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no ambition. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. I got a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Fendig’s drug store and they brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and then, keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and in each case the results have been of the best’’ Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Rutherford had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.
