LIQUOR COST IMMENSE
Dominion of Canada Pays $9.50 Per
Capita for Intoxicating Liquors,
is Claim.
Edmonton, Alia., April 17. Nine
dollars and thirty-seven and a half
cents per capita, estimating the pop
ulation of the dominion at 8,000,000,
or $75,000,000 a year, Is Canada's
bill for intoxicating liquors?, accord
ing to Rev. Thomas Powell, pastor
of Grace Methodist church of Ed
monton, who also said in a public
statement that a similar amount is
expended annually in caring for the
effects of strong drink. Discussin
the subject to emphasize the urgent
need for a definite practical nation
wide temperance movement, he said
that, in accordance with the laws of
political economy, a business is sup
posed to meet some real need in the
community; the public drinking place
could not make such claim. "True
it is," he added, "the saloon makes
business, but It is chiefly for the po
lice and the magistrate and the jail
er; furthermore, to say nothing of
the broken hearts and wrecked
hopes, it keeps taxpayers busy pro
viding funds for the detention and
support of criminals."
Giving Away a Country.
Abdul Aziz was very eager to. ae
cept Napoleon Ill's invitation to visit
the exposition at Paris in 1867. But
between his desire and its attain
ment stood the law of the Koran,
which he could neither disobey nor
set aside.
It is rare that a privilego enjoyed
by the subjects of a country is denied
to its ruler, yet by a law of the
Koran the sultan may not leave his
realm unless he goes sword in hand
for the purpose of conquering new
provinces.
His ministers advised him to come
to an amicable understanding with
Napoleon, and after announcing that
war had been declared upon France
to journey to the exposition sword in
hand. This scheme, howeyer, seemed
of doubtful advisability, and finally
a simpler plan was adopted, says Das
Buch fur Alle.
One day the morning papers of
Constantinople contained the start
line news that Napoleon III had
made the sultan a present of France
Abdul Aziz was, of course, at entire
liberty to visit his new province and
he decided to do so at once. Paris
and France were greatly amused at
the subterfuge that their guest had
practiced and offered no objection to
his approach.
After a very pleasant visit to Paris
Abdul Aziz returned to Turkey. But
before he left he magnanimously
gave France back to Napoleon III,
Washington, April 17. That Cali
fornia is absolutely determined upon
exclusion of the Japanese, that Call
fornians are set like steel for a
white man's state and why they are
so set, was explained here today by
William Kent, congressman of Cali
fornia, In a lengthy statement deal
ing with conditions now agitating
the Golden State. He said-
"Chinese exclusion wa3 based on
economic and social reasens. The
economic reasons were fallacious.
If the Chinese did our work without
demoralizing our democracy,' there
was no reason why he should not do
it. But in working he kept out
white labor and thus demoralized
our social status. ' -
"The same reasons were cited as
objections to the Japanese. He was
found to have a much lepe valuable
economic quantity than the China
man. He did not have the same
ideals of commercial Integrity and
his social attitude was more offen
sive.
"The exclusion laws undoubtedly
would have been passed against the
Japanese if their government had
not entered into a treaty to provide
against issuing passports to its la
boring classes coming to America.
"The practical effect of Japanese
land tenure is shown by Japanese
settlements in some of the most fer
tile portions of California. The
white people shun these sections
This may and may not be due to the
prejudice of white neighbors, but
California, thus far, has been a white
man's country and it is the inten
tion of the people of California to
keep it so.
"It is a curious fact that the Jap
anese persistently deny that, in their
case, a race problem is involved and
refuse to recognize this as a vital
element in the whole contention. To
a thoughtful student of the situation
there can be no assumption of su
periority as lying back of the racial
question. We may admit, if we
choose, that the Japanese are, in
some particulars, our superiors. We
cannot deny, however, that, taken
racially, they are different from the
white race. They cannot be assimi
lated into our population. Introduc
tion of permanently defined groups
of non-assimilable population must
necessarily create bitterness and mis
understanding and hamper the devel
opment of democracy.
"The privileged classes in Califor
nla the land owners and great em
ployers of labor may clamor for
this cheaper labor, but th9 vast ma
jority of Californians look forward
to a great state wherein similarity
of population will make an enlight
ened democracy possible."
Some Cubist Verses.
Since the new French school
of
Cubists, or Futurists,- is depicting
everything in art as grotesquely
cube-shaped, why not a school of
Cubist poetry, something after the
style of the following?

If Burns were living now and fol
lowing a plow in the fields of Linn
county, the chances for a poem like
that beginning with "Oh, sleekit,
cowerinlittle beestie" would be far
from favorable.
In certain portions of that county,
so it is reported by John Wills, a
farmer living near Albany, the field
mice nuisance has beconi9 one of
proportions that make it comparable
to the grasshopper scourge that hit
Kansas years ago, the chinch bug
ravages in Minnesota and the boll
weevil ruin wrought in the Texas
cotton fields in recent years.
.Mr. Wills says that in the Knox
Butte Country east of Albany, in the
Brownsville districtand elsewhere the
little rodents within the last year
or two have so multiplied and over
run the country that in many cases
clover, grass and grain crops have
been all but ruined, and to many of
the farmers who have suffered as a
consequence of their ravages, the
outlook is almoBt hopeless.
Wills tells of one farmer who in
plowing a field of 19 acres had his
boys follow the plaw, and as. the
share turned the nests to the surface
the youngsters killed the rodents,
The boys In that field, he says, killed
over 2,000 mice, and even then made
but a small dent in the ro lent popu
lation of that field.
The farmers, he says, for a time
tried poisoning the mice, but the
state game authorities soon discov
ered that the China-pheasants of that
district, which are protected by law,
were dying by hundreds as a result
of eating the poisoned bait set for
the mice, and they at once put an
end to this means of dealing wtih
the rodents. Forbidden to poison
the mice, and having no other means
of reaching them, the farmers of that
part of the state are facing a prob
lem for which there appears to be
no solution.
Last year immense stretches of
crass, clover and grain tieid were
practically wasted by the mice, and
this year, it is said, the prospect is
for even greater destruction.
MILL HAVE TO STARVE.
If Scientists Keep on All Things Will
Poison Us.
If the scientists keep on there will
soon be nothing left for man to do
bue die, and then he will be a men
ace to the living. That soda-water
is poisonous is the latest fad. The
Portland Telegram takes it off in the
following:
The dear young sweet thing who
chortled that she "could just die
drinking soda water" may do it yet
if she keeps on.
Drug store proprietors and bosses
of those marble top fountains of
fizzy waters are buried in melan
choly over a brand neW swat which
a bewhiskered scientific guy named
"Doc" Lederle has just handed ou
in an interview back east. Word of
the sad blow has just fi'.tered into
Portland and it begins to look as if
it is back to the old style plain, un
varnished, uncolored ice cream for
the summer girl.
The latest jolt from the realm of
science Is that you mustn't drink
anything that foams or froths or has
suds on top of it.
With one exception, and that
what comes out of a keg and is made
in Milwaukee, St. Louis and Olympla
Wash. Namely, beer. -
But soda water, that soft, cooing
hissing, sputtering stuff i'nat cools
the parched tongue and throat me're
ly at the sound of its purling from
the nozzle of the marble fount that
stuff is poison. You mustn't touch
it. There la death at least twice in
every bubble that sizzles from the
nozzle. -
This highly suspicious savant is
dubious about, everything that. car
ries a "bead," save as aforesaid, the
amber brew.
"Life is getting to be risky these
days," complained a soda water jug'
gler. "Here we go to work and in
vent a thousand new drinks a year
with nice pretty colors with cherries
fruit and all sorts of junk on the
top to give the proper scenic effect
and now some laboratory shark dis
covers that summer girls mustn'
touch the stuff.
"Tell you what I'll do. I'll bet
this talk about' foam, froth and suds
being poison will be a big boost for
business. I know a lot of girls who
will drink the stuff just to see
whether it will kill 'em.
"Another, thing, I'll bet that wise
guy of a professor is under salary to
the breweries."
A safety gas meter invented in
Holland is said to prevent the pos
sibility of asphyxiation and to Indi
cate the loss of unconsumed gas by
leakage or otherwise.
