The country found itself in the position of needing more revenue in order to carry on the war ! and one of the methods resorted to | was the placing of a tax on beer with | the result that there has been a de- crease in the consumption of malt uors and an increase 1in distilled | spirits. Now England finds that the | capacity of its people for certain classes of business has decreased and | it has begun to talk of enacting pro- | hibition until, at least, the war has | been brought to a close. There is no | such talk in Germany, where beer is | consumed in large quantities and | without any complaint as to drunken- | ness or lessening the capacity of its ! labor. The beer there is renowned | for its purity and it is used with as | much freedom as wine is in France. The Republican argues tnat it may be | that England may go to school to | Germany on the beer question and | may learn a great deal from it. i The beer consumed in England is | seid to be of a stronger brew than | that In Germany and is no doubt more | baneful in its results, but tnere is a general recognition now that the in- | clination of the English people to drink distilled spirits is mjurious, al- | though there is no evidence that the | reason for it is due to the war tax. If the country resorts to prohibition it will destroy the revenue which it | was proposed to strengthen and will open up a question which will be in- | teresting in its development it | nothing else. Russia 1s operating | along the same line, but then that is a different country, the manner of living is different and the prohibition plan may not work out the same | each place, Whenever the financial | 1oss, which must accompany prohibi- in tion ,is referred to, the supporters of that idea say that the saving which | would be accomplished wouid more | than make up the loss of revenue, but [{hat is a much disputed point. MASSACHUSETTS SENATE ADOPTS GOOD RUL | The Massachusetts has :nv‘r\pted a rule to the efiect that all | | petitions for legislation must be filed | on or before the third Wednesday in senate Ilecember before the legislature con- ‘ venes, There was some opposition to | this movement, but the argument that | fome such rule was necessary in order | to expedite business prevailed and the | rule was adopted, There has been | some talk along this line in Connecti- cut, but nothing has ever been done about it. There was, however, «mendment adopted which that the legislature shall adjourn which has probably i an { provides hy | a certain time, | the same effect. i It would seem as if the early filing | of petitions would also serve an addi- | tional purpose because when the legis- | lature meets the members would find their work they could proceed with a better knowledge | ‘of what to do and with less liability of friction between measures. Some | times bills are introduceda early in the ion, then a time limit 1s fixed for the introduction of new business, and it is at this time that tne flood oc- curs, there often being more than one raeasure seeking practically the same object, and many of them being of such a nature that the legislature would be justified in rejecting them at cut out for them, ses cnce.

This bill has heen beaten every time and yet soon as a new legislature meets, up it pops again as fresh as ever.

DAILY DELIVERY in New Brim_in, Elmwood, Newington, Cedar Hill, Maple Hill and Clayts Dog Frozen Pointing Quail, (American Field.) Joe Wendling, of Thorn Lake, is mourning the loss of a valuable point- er dog on the peak of Foster Butte. The body of the dog has just been fround, frozen stiff in the rigid point- ing stand it had made on a bevy of mountain quail. The head and tail of the dog were stretched out on a level with the back, and the left fore- leg was lifted and bert at the eibow. 1t was the pose of a perfect stand and insteag of falling over in the snow the dog's body had toppled against a hawthorne bush, where it stood erect unti] found. No snow fell on Foster Butte from the time the dog froze to death, and the day the body was- found, and | stretching in front of the congealed canine were tracks of a big bevy of quail, The bird apparently had hud- dled in a hawthorne thicket just in front of the pointer, then flushed and flew to some other part of the moun- tain after the dog died. Mr. Wendling went to Foster Butte three weeks ago to round up his range colts and take them to shelter after the temperature had dropped to twenty below zero. Dan, the pointer, accompanied his master into the hills. Mr. Wendling did not miss the doz until he reached home late at nigh When Dan failed to return the fol- lowing day, Mr. Wendling set his pet down as the victim of timber wolves, coyote or cougar, and did not return to the mountains to make a search. The temperature remained below zero for more than two weeks, and there has been no thawing weather at the mountain tops since Mr. Wend- ling rounded up his horses. Other range men found the frozen dog and brought the body to Silver Lake for exhibit. Dan was known throughout Lake county because of his feats in holding points for long periods. Mr. Wend- ling says the dog frequently stood rigid on a bevy of quail, grouse or sage hens for two hours. The owner believes there is no doubt Dan froze to death waiting for some one to flush the quarry. Paraguay Promising Cattle Country. (Washington Post.) “The republic of Paraguay is per- haps as little known to Americans as any of the South American countries, it will become one of the most mportant,” sald Dr. J. A.

(Chlcago News.) One thing, as has been observed by the philosophers, follows another. Or it may be that one thing precedes another. This point has never been definitely determined; tho of the chicken and the egg Is stii pending. the issue that” cause hangs ar may hang the decisfod as whether bathing the pig by. rallroad corporations responsible for the high cost of pork or whether the high cost of pork makes it nec- essary for the raliroad to bathe the pig. Anyway, the modern, the sanitary, the tired business pig must have fts shower bath in transist from hither n Yyou, according to the testimony of G. R. Vilas, general superintendent of the Chicago and Northwestern rall- road, before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The expense of pro- viding shower baths and ather luxur- ious appointments for the pig and its attendants, according to Mr. Vilas,+ is one reason why the railroad com- panies respectfully and with tcars in their corporate eyes beg to be per- mitted to increase freight rates. It is necessary to bathe the pig Mr. Vilas says, in order that the pig may not lose weight Yet to a mere laymant it would seem cheaper toe carry a light pig than a heavy one, cspecially as the freight is most likely to be paid an the basis of the pig's weight at the beginning of its touf. One must assume, therefore, that the philanthropic railroad wants the pros duccr of the pig to get its full value and so conserves its weight The consumer, of course, pays for whaty he gets, though he does not always get what he pays for However, we are not cansidering the consumer.
