"Jess of the Bar-Z" is the bill which the Allen stock company Is presenting at the Lyric for the week. Through It the company will add to Its popularity, for the production Is a good one and seems well suited to the members of the company. The play, as the title would indicate. Is staged in cattleland and deals with the western life of the range In the western way and spirit. The theme follows that of the "Vir ginian" In many respects and gives ample opportunity for the characters to show their capabilities in actorshlp. The two leading roles are taken by verna 1'elton and liaipn weimont, who represent Jess and the rough rider hero respectively.

In 1904 the W. C T.

The amount of lnforniaUon obtained was surpris ing Tha W. C. T. U. had a representative In the Philippines during the war who was an eye witness to conditions in and about the army headquarters. Again, during the Japan-Russian war our W. C. T. U. missionary was there during the entire time and can give out Irref utable testimony as to the liquor ques tion there. Any one who haa read the remarkable statements made by Dr. Anita McOee in behalf of the restoration of the canteen should also read the facts refusing her testimony given by no less an authority than Japanese officials themselves. We would be glad to nlace this doc ument In the hands of every one who bellevus In restoring the liquor to the canteen. Many statements are made and given great publicity with no rerard for the refuting statements from undeni ably good authorities. In the outset we should correct the Impression that prevails that the advo cates for what la called the nntl-i-ntn law have deprived the soldier of the comforts and amusements that the can teen arrorded, whereas they only ask for the elimination of the barroom feat ure. They have worked aealously and successfully In obtaining adequate ap propriations from the government to es tablish In their post exchange as a sub stitute to the barroom canteen a gym nasium, a library and other featurea for the comfort and recreation of the sol diers. Over one and a half millions have been appropriated for this pur pose, and before there is any repeal of the existing law eliminating the drink evil. It is but rlcht that an In vestigation go on to show Just how this money has been expended and If not ad equate for the purpose see that provl- 1 slons are made; quor business.

When Congressman Morrell of Penn eyivania presented a Din before con gress with the statements that there was an increase of drunkenness and an Increase of ninety-four per cent, of trl ala by courts-martial, the legislative committee or the National Temperance Bociety wrote to judge Advocate Gen eral George B. Davis, who haa charge or au general courts-martial, reauest Ing him to send his annual report for seven years, beginning with the year ending June 3u. l'juu ana closing June in. isue. The official figures follow: 1900 General courts-martial, drunkenness, 1,645. 1901 General courts-martial, drunkenness, 1.458. 1902 General courts-martial, drunkennes, 960. 1903 General courts-martial, drunkenness, 811. 1904 General courts-martial, drunkenness, 616. 1905 General courta-martlal, drunkenness, 508. 1906 General courts-martial, drunkenness. 604. These figures tell their own In 1900, with the liquor sold canteen, 1.646 courts-martial trials for drunkenness occurred.
