Shipments. of LiquorDrunkenness Continues in Counties That Have no Saloons. ImEanapott. Inl., Aug. 9. Among the numerous plans the AnitiS-aloo-n league -has in mind for furthering temperance reform in. the sitzte is one providing for a bill to be introduced irj the next session of 'the legislature to regulate, or to stop -the shipment of liquor 'from "wet territory in the :a'te into co-unties hat have oeen voted "dry." The j!an has not ad.vanced beyond' the early formative socage, and -will proibalbly be greatly modified 'from its present shape (before ir. is submitted fT introduction. One öt fne difficulties now con fronting the temperance rciann workers in "dry" ternitoy in the -hip. merit of 'bcci and whiskyto consumers, "druggists and ane:rubers of -ocia clubs in "dry" -territory. Attempts have .been made to suoip .the practice by court action, but according to de cisioi'is there is no law to keep a con sumer in any part of the state from buying- intoxicants in a "wet" county and having them shipped to him, or tQ a specified consignee, in "dry" ter rk cry. Interstate Problem Bigger. A larger difficulty whach hus not yüt beert cleared up by the league is that of interstate shipments, Chicago St. Lotui-9, Lounsville, Cincinnati Mil wauflcee anjd either diiles ship beer and wtusky into "dry territory m Ir.dia-na, iwhere ;hese intoxicants are ordered 'by individuals, or iocia clubs, and the legislature has no power to enalct any measure affect iner thus interstate shimming. The temperance reformers all over t country arc planning to assail congress in its next session for an amendment to an interstate shri.Tping of Jiquor for !bcverages from a "wet to a "dry" süa'te. Tire rapäd i,rea ut the figh't ior local option an-state-wide prohibition has promoted the reformers to Ibelieve that ul mately they will be successful in ob taininig recognition from congreis on this score. The pcIitical workers vh do the lKctJcal -work ror the rs formers are preparing to .carry th plan into both the sit ate and the con gresi'jnjatl campaigns in 1910.' Don't be Finicky Eat What You Like IMuch, is being said; these day aootrt nvr,v to eat, how to eat, etc. We are told that there is a hot weather diet, and Lke tire fall and spring hat, we are given styles and varieties for tlhese seasons also. Such Ziuita a9 peaches, pears and plums, are mot to be eaten in the summer, t-r, it eaten, should 'be indulged very sparingly. But little meat should be eattn fin the spring, and ?ome say none at all. The watermelon is likely t'o cause ague in th fall, and tb!ackLeTries, appendicitis in the summer. It seems unfortunate that what is forbidden 'happens" to be the rery thing's we want, arAl the truit we wood have does not ripen at the right time, ! i ! ! I If these fruits are root to be indulged in the summer, then we ought to have varieties that ripen in the winter. Here is an oppOTtunity for -some one .to ma'ke hims!: fanouff. T i We are told tr. drink warm water n the summer when something cold is desired, and to drink something cold in the winter just when coffee hot aril steaming, is most relished. Jt seems that everything is reverstd, or it would be so, if we shouüd take all of this advice. It is the cpinion vf che writer that iron clad rules car. not le la'id dUwn in tlu-s matter, iw'hat is needed is good common fene'. In fact this is a commodity that is useful at all tümes, whether in eating, drinking or even getting m(arried. It h'as been the custom of this "office never to refuse any of the fruits) v above enumerateil, when Lrou-gfht in by our friends in the summer, and lest it might be supposed that these articles have been placed cn the forbidden list, it will be said tliat all seasons look alike at the Tribune office. It has been saiid that we should be temperate In all things. This) perh'alps means that we should be temperate even in making rules and regulations. Exercise proper sanitary precautions, eat what you war:, (if you can get k) moderately an'd wii?h judgment, spend less time regulating, and tLon't be afraid.

CONGRESSMEN

WISH RE-ELECTION INDIANA REPRESENTATIVES ALREADY PLAN CAMPAIGNS FOR RE-ELECTION. Only Evidence of Contest is Shown in Congressman Cox's District Washington, Aug. 10. Ali of the Indiana meim'ber? ot the House oi Representatives- will be candidates lor renom-i nation next ear. Ot the eleven Democratic represmutives from the dloosier stare Mr. Iioehne of the First District is the only one of vvhosie candidacy there has- at any time been any doatbt. IMr. Doehne is a man of affans, and from his ovn personal tan-d-point he is maMng a sacrifice, finan cially speaking, every day he is in Wa'shrmrton. Mr. Iidehne was far from favorably imp res seil by congressional Hie murtng tne long period of restful inactivity that ensued iter rh'e House passed the tariff bill amd btcorc it was disposed of by the Senate. It goes against his gra:n, so to speak, to kill tme loafing. But .U . .i 1. l next winter, in mv nuic muuc oi a regular se'lion, with mtntitarpaus maiitTa oi ieyiiaiioii up ioi consideration, Mr. liothne is likely to enjoy congressional Kfe .more. At any rate, he fwill consent, rkVhen the Urne conies to the use ci nis i,.ame .for aiiot'IiVr term. No one can forecast who his competitor wi.l be. Thomas I. Littlepage, former sec re tarv to Senator He men1 way, has been mentioned most frequently in that otinnectioii, but he says that he ha no intention to permit thJe -3e t-f his lKi'me. Representatives Cullop, Cox, Dix on, IMoss, Ilarnard, Kor8)ly, Adair. Morrison, Cruinipacker, Ranch, CKne, aiuJ -Rarnhart also have their eyes üxed on an-other nomination. Cox Meets Competition. Ok tjjo- Represmta'dive Cox of rb-e Third Distnct is the onlyx one who is threatened with 'serious competition, in his own party t'old. Geo. Voigt, a Jefferson lawyer, is said to be an aspirant for the toga worn by the present Third District represn'tative. Mr. Voigtj furthermore, is said to be mighty busy "lining up ihe boys. H'civvever, as an, active quantity in

politics he has no advantage over Mr 'wflwdi the Government has been able Cox, who undoubtedly writes more to dUtain is that on a casual inspecletters and keeps :n closer touch with ticn of treated and untreated pole

the heme folks than any other IndSana member. Voigt belong. - th. element: ot inarvi uistnct uemoicrats ihat kept former Representutive Zenor in office so many -years and they are the cllosest of friends. The Detn'cenatic congres.-onal committee is planning to "hellp out" the Democratic candidates in the close of Indiana districts next year. This will te a link an'd an important link in t. .t. - .. . . t i . T . uic enc nie to eiect a uemocratic House aind deipiose "Uncle Tote" Canr.on. Tiie congressional committee ian .nut at thrs time look forward to any monumental campaign fund. But some roanna will Ifafl from the Demccratic heavens and the close Indians at st nets will get their share of it. Furthermore, they will get a deluge of oritory, as the leading Dctricratic Speakers oif the nation are to e sent into Indiana to expound the issues Crom the Democratic view point. Altogether, the congression al campaigns in Indiana arje very ike'y toi be about the liveliest in the intire country. Wireless Shows Loss. - The enormous growth off telegraph nd telephone business in the Unit ed States is interestingly set forth in a bulletüi issued today by the Census Bureau. It appears from thlis bul letin that the telephone is supplant ing the telegraph to a considerable extent, even in train dispatching. The bulletin says in part: More fhlan lo.OOO.OOO miles, of - . .1 -I s-ingle wire are used by the ipeopW of the United States in communicating wHth each other over the various telephonc a-nd telegraph -systems. Of this number 12,999,309 nriles are operated by the telephone systems and 3.072J.SM males liy the telegraph companies. This length oif sinigle wire would enicirde the earrh at the equa tor more than coo times. Over the telegraph wire in 1907 there were flashd 303,470,509 messages, of which 5,SC9,317 were .cabilegrams. Wireless hSows Loss. The bulletin gtves the first statistio; for the conrmerfcfial iwirelests sys- , , ,t ,, . , , 4 ; terns already established and -states J . , , . that they were operated at a loss of $44,028 in 1907. There were six com - mercial wireless telegraph systems in 1907 operating 122 tower stations, lo cated at most of the large ports of the Atlantic and 'Pacific ocean, the Gu.t ot 'Mexico, Hawaii and the Great Lakes . They transmitted 16,617 wireless- mes-stiges. Their aut-h-orized capitalization cctisisted of slock at a par value of $39,400,000, of which $32,720,242 was the value of the outstanding issue. All of the advices received at tne office of the controller of the cur. renlry indicate a complete resump tion of confidence in the business world. During the morith of July, 1909, thirty-seven appli-ca 'ons to organize national (lxnrks were received. In the same -month twenty-eig'ht banks, with a total capital of $1,295,0O0, were anthcrized 0o begin busi ness.

GOVERNMENT SEEKS REMEDY Woodpeckers Attack Telephone, Tel egraph and Electric Light Poles Causing Damage. - Considerable damage is being done to telephone, telegraph and electric fiht poles .by members of '.the woodpecker ffani'iy.

It would, of course, not'be a diffi cult matter to exterrrriniate tnese birds. Hoiwcver, this is not dcrajle as they are among the most benefi dial iforms of bird life native to this coitmtry, because they destroy large number.? ot insects wlwch s-er:ously damage forest and food crops. It seems, therefore, that me-thods should be unxlertaken- to compel the birds to revert to their former habit of boriiirg rather t'htm to cxterm'in ate them. . 'Frequent inquiries have been made by the Forest Service in this connectic n, but the only information to date lines) in Louisiana. In that region i was found that poles which had beer nr.pregnatea wnth creoAyte oil were ntcc attacked by the birds, whereas untreated poles under tlhe same cotrIdttiT.ns were very -severely injured, Whefher or not creosote will prevent stich an attack 'is not definitely I known, but the Service is investigat ng this pnoillcm, and should this oil prove a preventative, it will fiiu.ill a I ....

WAR AGAINST

SLANG IN SCHOOL FUNDAMENTALS IN SCHOOL SUBJECTS WILL BE THE OBJECT THIS YEAR. Hygiene and Health and English Language to Be Emphasized to Distribute Course. liKÜanapoJis, August 10. The teaching of the ttunda-inentals of schod subject , wfth less i.tkT.tion to rnmi-or matters; tne tea-cnning principles of hygiene and IieaitM, .-d the teaching o!f the beauty of the English language and its current us;e. tfhese are the three points brought home to 18,ooo Indiana teachers in the new course of stHtdy for this year just prepared by the department of public instruction. The new course is ninw in the hands of 'the state printer and should be ready tli'is weck for distribution thrcaighout the state. OnK- 19,000 cojjies will be printed because of the hrir.kin'g appropriation for printing. It is the policy of Dr. A ley, siuperi nc er.de nt of public instruction, to hav-e les-s time spent in mc-ire cover ing ground and more spent in a thorough mastery df subjects s'tudk-J. Much Time is Lost. '"There are some portions of arith metic and history, i'or example, that are necessary every day," he said. "On the other hand, it isn't especially necessary to know how to ge; the greatest common divisor by lor.g di vision. In the same way as much time cs spent by tea'Cners on some little Indian Avar as the battle of Lexinytot. 'We want teachers t ) em phasize tilings because of their value and no; because they are in the text book. The svru-dy otf hygiene will p'ay a inire important part in the school room this year than ever before. It has been the purpose of Dr. A'.cy to .-rpplcment as .mulch as possible the campaign of the state board of health. Children wild- be taught the value of pure aiir, of sanitation, o'i proper food and of cleanliness. The physiology and hygiene text-book study wilj be along a special outline, made out by the author of the adopt ed text-bodks, Dr. 11. V. Conn, es jecSalvy 'for the Use oi the Indiana schools. A further ambition of the depart meut Of publik: instruction is to- in spire a new patriofcsm in the school children cj the state and i neiden;aMv to the teachers for the Eng:i;h language, not only for its Demi ar.d expressiveness, but also fer it correct usa-cre. leathers wid lirs: and foremost be expected to dri their mmils on the words nbascd most frequently. In the studv of lit erat ure the strong and we'-kn pl:rasis iwill :be pointed out and the students themselves wiCl be e;:our aged to use good English no: only serviceable English, but po'ishej and dt s c ri min at i ve E ng Hi sh . French Study Language. "In France," said Dr. Aley, "thi sort cf wiork is done in the common school, with the -result that every French boy and giirl h'as learned to love the language in the same way that the flag is loved. The children know wcll'-spoken French, and even the so-called ignorant Frenc'hman speaks good French. "But the average lloosicr or Buck e$ye with a -common school edu-cation distorts the -language with regularity and seems even to be proud of it. "I don't expect the results of this campaign for clean and forceful Eng lish to tear fnimed:atc results. lock for evidences of the teaching Of hygiene almost immediately, and for the pres-saire upon important things alone; but it Will be years), o course, before our common schoo' people wil'l speak Entgeh well. But if we caii, for a starter, cull the at tentio-n of 9,000 sichool teacheTS to the existence of ibad English, the re suit will be fett in the long run. It will be easier now thai the majority of our teacher are high school grad nates because they know more abou literature and English than do the cowmen slclnol graduates. A few years ago it would have leen a hard matter, indeed." IDr. Aley and -his assistant, E. G Uunmell, will visut sixty-eignt coun ties before school opens, and speak to the teachers- at county institutes lnese r..rce niaitTs win oe gone over carefu-My, and the. attention o; the teachers called to what is being done, and the reasons for i't.

LIQUOR WAVE COST MILLIONS

REVENUE OF NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IS CUT DOWN -BY LARGE AMOUNT. Less Drinking Than Before Accord- ( ing to the Report of Federal Finances. Wa-sliGn-gton, August 7. The wave of -prohibition that has been sweeping over the United States in the last fdw years cost the govemument $7,641,978.42 in revenue dttri-nig the fiscal year cnidled wGfh June o0. The loisB rs figured from a comparison with the returns from soints and terlenited J-iquors in the fiscal yiear pre ceding. Of this big sum the heaviest los's wa!s tracealble to the dctTeaisiiyg manufacture ankl use o-f whiskies. eer, .porter an.d other similarly fer mented liquors came next im the proporttidn of lost revenue to fhe governThe Alabama Experiment. Alabama has the courage of hs onvi-ctLon. It c-s certain that it can make prohibition prohibit. It re mafns certain of this even after it has made an attempt and still finds citi zens doing and saying things which :o man ever would do or say in any täte where prohibition prohibits so ftVetively that nobody could get runic. In Alabama, a elsewhere, much of the responsfbiJtty for fail ure falls upon the rattlesnake at this season cf the year. But even in the midst of the rattlesnake, seat on the Alabama legrs-lature has beeir called to meet in special session and supjplc ment the presx-nt prohibition law wfth ether .laws -so drastic and so all embracing that nothfing can 'get away. The Alabama -bills now proposed are lour in -number. The first of these is a proposed statewidc act perfecting the present law in 'place where -it has been found weak. The second is aimed at corporations authorized to do a business in liquors, and which are operated under -what arc called "expansive charters." Such charters have, in Alabama, been claimed to authorize sales by com pares holding them. Alabama now proposets seeing to it that such authorization can: be no longer claimed. The third act is to authorize municipalties to improve and amend any state legislation in any -way found to be necessary to make it apply quickly and effectively to any local condirioins exis-ti-n'g. This act promis-cs great things. After it gets to w-orking he news 'from AJabtwna is sure to be interestling. What mundcipalties woulld dio whh and to a law of that kind is as yet an untold story, bu: enough of it can be tu3d in advance to serve as as-suraiiice that Alabama would not omly have a ha!c)-on and vociferous time with it , but she would have to 3et the rest df tr enjoy rt with her.
