One of the wisest and most intolli
gent men that ever lived in Darling
ton has said that the American pet
pie make the liqnor problem a v'er,
tioublesome one by their manner c
handling it. He believes that if th
tax were removed and everyone wa
allowed to sell liquor just as he sell
any other commodity there would b
less drunkenness and- the peopl
would not think of drinking whiske
as they do now. We have held th
same opinion for years and we fui
ther believe that 'ie quality of liqua
sold under such conditions would b
much better than that sold now. W
also believe that every farmer shoul<
be allowed to distil his own whiske
and sell it as he would any oth.-r arte
of commerce. Such views will doub
less horrify some of our prohibitior
friends, but we believe that suchi
state of affAirs would do away witL

Ten years of the Dingley law shows
a tax of $3 a year on every man, wo
man and child in the United States.
rLThat's only what was paid in buying
imported goods. The less direct tax
for high prices of domestic goods with -
foreign competition throttled can
never be estimated, but we may form
some idea of it by the siza of the for
tune-s iccumglated by the magnates
of the stuel ti'ist, the leather trui.t
and the like. The most reliable Bta
0iticins estimate that each family in

Dharma, the ascetic priest, was the
son of a king of India. -He went into

b e remained in contemplation in a temn
pie. Later he went to Japan, and he
died on Mount Katavka. He imposed '
uipon himself, -as the first rule of his
I life, privation from sleep. One day, in
a dignant at falling asleep, he cut off his dJ
eyelIds and threw thoem away as mis
erable sinners. From the spot where
the eyelids had fallen sprang up a bush
