In reporting that the manufactu.
Importation and s:le of absinthe In
Switzerland is now prohibited, Vic
Consul Leo J. Frankenthal of Berne,
gives the following particulars of the
recent referendum by which this was
accomplished.
In a previous consular report by
the wfiter on the practical workings
of the popular initiative in Switzer
land, the absinthe Initiative was ex
plained at length. It was accepted
by the Swiss people on Sunday, July
5. 190S, by a vote of 236,582 against
125. SS8. The total votte cast was
372.470 from a voting strength of
over 807.700, showing that 335,000
voters did not go to the polls.
Its acceptance amends the Swiss
constitution by a paragraph prohib
iting the manufacture, importation,
and sale of absinthe In Switzerland.
Damages will undoubtedly be paid
to the manufacturers in the Canton
Neuchatef, where a flourishing ex
port industry had been built up. The
federal alcohol monopoly will lose a
larpe sum annually.
The vote of the French cantons
Geneva, Vaud, Valals, Fribourg, and
Xeuchatel where absinthe Is con
sumed, and where In Geneva and
Vaud, Its sale was recently prohibit
ed by cantonal ordinances, rejected
the federal initiative by a small ma
jority. The vote In the German cantons,
however, where absinthe Is practically
unknown, turned the tide In favor of
the measure. Thus Us fate was de
cided for the citizens of western
Switzerland, who were personally In
terested, by the votes of those In the
other cantons whom the measure
did not affect.
Central and eastern Switzerland
had been appealed to by the western
or French cantons to support them
in voting In favor of the initiative,
while the votes cast show that the
French cantons as a whole rejected
it

In some cantons the affirmative
.ote fell far behind the number of
tignatures to the Initiative petition.
In Canton Berne, where 38,337 voters
had signed the Initiative s petition,
only 24,593 voted for it, or 13,744 less
than the number of signatures origi
nally obtained. In Xeuchatel 9628
signed the petition for the abolition
of absinthe, and but 6340 voted for
it upon the day of election:. Fri
bourg shows 9535 signatures In favor
of the petition and 7244 votes for the
measure on election day; Glarus se
cured 3420 signatures against 2800
votes, and Basel-land 4022 signa
tures to the Initiative and 2843 votes
In the affirmative.
A favorite placard of its adherents
was a radiant white cross behind the
range of the snowy Alps, printed up
on a red ground, with the legend,
"One for all, all for one. Vote 'Yes.' "
The question now arises how the
federal prohibition will work, since
the federal government has no police
fc)ice of Its own and Is dependent up
on the cantonal police. If 50,000 of
the 135.000 voters against the initia
tive sign a second Initiative, they can
force the matter to a popular vote for
the second time.
How to Get Strong.
P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St.,
Chicago, tells of a way to becomi
strong. He says: "My mother, who
Ii old and very feeble, is deriving so
much benefit from Elictrlc Bitters,
that I feel it is my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about It. In my mother'
case a marked gain In flesh has re
sulted, Insomnia has been overcome,
and she Is steadily growing stronger."
Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom
ach, liver and kidney complaints.

Rev. Euster, pastor of the M.. E
church of Pendleton, preached his
closing icrmon yesterday at the M
E. church. This ends the conference
year with him. He said In part: "I
have enjoyed myself here In this
pastorate more than anywhere else
I have ever been. I have found here
a broad-minded and generous church.
A church liberal in Its giving and
broad-minded In Its conceptions of
what a minister should be and do. It
condemns only that which Is wrong
In Itself. During all the year I have
not found anything In the least disa
greeable or any criticism whatever.
I find that members here as else
where are coming to view the Chris
tian life more and more as an Invest
ment for God. All else Is but Inci
dental. This Is the chief thing to In
vest our time, our talents our money
and our energy for God. He who
goes gladly to Invest time and tal
ents in the Sabbath school work Is a
happy Christian. You Invested for
God when you erected this church. A
thousand years from now It will Still
be used for the same purpose and you
will be glad that you Invested. Only
what we Invest for God gives us real
enjoyment. All else we really do not
cure for after it Is gone, but this
never goes. Then I am glad of the
unity belonging to this church. It Is
united as but few churches are, and
now I rejoice to know that the other
body of Methodism here is consider
ing coming In with you and thus
making one solid Methodism for God
In this place. How much good this
will do no one can tell. I know
all will receive a warm and generous
welcome and will come gladly. I
hope none In this church or the oth
er has a memory that cannot forget
ti e days of '62. Those days are too
far in the past to remember . any
more. The public actually demands
this of the Christian world that it be
united. It cares not to support a di
vided house any longer. Then I am
glad that you believe in revivals here.
Other churches get along without re
vivals, but as they depend largely for
recruits from Methodism and other
bodies, but our church cannot live
and prosper without revivals. I am
glad you are a unit upon this."
In the evening he spoke highly of
the business and professional men

ICxix'nscs Heavy.
The American and National leagues
use 1000 bats In a year and the best
sell at $1 a piece. These 16 clubs also
use from 800 to 1000 dozen balls, at
$12 a dozen. The clubs In the minor
leagues require from 2500 to 3000
dozen balls. They use an average of
6 bats each in a season.
More than $1,000,000 a season Is
spent by the managers of the big
league clubs for running expenses.
Crack clubs, like the Pittsburg, the
Chicago and the New York teant In
the National league, cost $65,000 a
year. If an average Is struck at $50,
000 and the 1G clubs In the two
leagues are counted, expenses run up
to $800,000 for a season.
To the salaries Is added an allow
anec of $30 a pleco for each player
on the league teams for uniforms
This means two flannel suits In a
season at $15 apiece. For the 320
players in the 16 clubs In the big
leagues this item would come to
$9600. A similar allowance for the
4300 players in the minor leagues
would swell the tailors' bills of the
professional players to $138,600.

the sales of equipment for oilier am

stores of manufacturers and thous
ands of small shops. If one-half the
2S, 000, 000 spectators at the profes
sional games In a season should play
ball, be divided Into nines, and each
should be given a ball and bat, it
would take $4,000,000 to pay the bill.
The sums tied up In grounds,

vary considerably. The National
Ungun grounds In Bosjon, St. Louis
and Philadelphia are elaborate. The
American league has fine properties
In Boston and Cleveland, and Is plan
