it started some years ago under the
guiding hand of ^Thomas Fortune Ryan.
Within (be past month over 100 mush-

Eondon alone, and the English workmen
are bringing forth their savings to in-
vest in rubber stock. The price of rub-
ber in Iaonrion has risen from 40 cents a
pound to $3 a pound within the past two
years. Conservative hankers ha\Y sent
out a warning to the English public tell-
ing them that a majority of the rubber
companies now offering stock are pure)
wildcat concerns, but the public has re-
fused to be warned so far. If the United
States the rubber industry is on the
boom, due to the great demand for auto-
mobile tires, experts say. Sir Clifton
Robinson, one of tin* leading English

to go to the Congo district and take

PROHIBITION WAVE HAS NOT
DECREASED LIQUOR DRINKING
The following letter, which speaks
for itself, has been sent out by the
president of the National Model Li-
cense league:
The prohibition wave that has been
passing over the country is showing
unmistakable signs of subsiding be-
cause. the people are finding out that
prohibition, whether by State or coun-
ty, does not prohibit.
The indisputable evidence^)! the In-
ternal Revenue Department proves
■beyond question that putting over half
of the United States under prohibitory
investors is ttie warning sent out tty N<-w Congo is said to is- under the dire tion

ertng of rubber in South Atin-i1ca and. equated cruelty.
the political boss could no longer can-
cel his right to do business; it would
be .a valuable asset and -especially i(
limited in number as sugested, and
the holder of such a license would hesi-
tate a long time before be would In-
vite its destruction by violating a law.
The mandatory penalty which no
judge'could set aside would do a wav
with the farce of minimized penalties
which are generally imposed and
! which are merely an invitat ion to
the adoption of license lawsuthat will
both encourage and compel obedience
so far as their trade is concerned.
Persecution, excessive taxation, ex- nirtb^d'disobedleuce.
cesslve competition and nominal pen-
alties may compel the saloon keeper
in his fight for existence to do tilings
that are wrong, but it is a great mis-
take'to suppose that brewers, distill-
ers, wholesale or retail liqour dealers
favor law violation or that they would
not welcome a law abolishing such
practices.
I ask your consideration, therefore,
laws has increased liquors„fifty__per of what are known as Model Llceiye
cent.
Prohibition destroys millions of
property and revenues, but it doeanot
check the demand for whisky, beer,
wine, brandy, gin, alcohol in the form
of patent medicines, etc., -and while
this demand exists the mail order
houses, the druggists, the bootleggers
and the moon shiners will see that it
Is supplied.
A nation that consumes each year
twenty-three gallons of alcoholic bev-
erages per capita may pass prohibi-
tory laws, each voter favoring them
for the other fellows, but it will not he
denied these beverages by any edict
of law and It will not for long, nor seri-
ously, prosecute the men who supply
them.
The question, therefore, for the fut-
'nre is to regulate the sale of these
beverages and it is the part of wisdom
jo adopt regulation that will regulate.
The people and the press of this
country are demanding obedience to
law And the liquor trade will welcome
provisions and should they appeal'to
you I urge that your influence he em-
ployed to engraft them-Into your liquor
ordinances.
Wo reecommend:
First—-That all licenses must be re-1
newed so long as the holder is not
convicted the second time of the viola-
tion of law and the business Is not pro-
hibited by a vote of the people:
Second—The license issued in the
future shall not tie in excess of one li-
cense for each five hundred population.
Third—That the license shall be
reasonable, fair and just and not rep-
resent a penalty,
Fourth—That for the first oorivb
tion by a jury of the violation of law
the license shall be suspended for
thirty days and the place closed for
that period: and for the second like
conviction the license shall lie can
celled, and the holder never again li-
censed to retail liquors In that city.
The permanent license will remove

PRICES AND SALARIES.
In discussing the problem of prices,
the assistant professor in American
universities, in Science, Professor
(luido H. Marx, of Stanford universe
ty. says: "The rapid increase in the
cost of living in the last twenty yearn
has made the situation acute; for
there has been no general Increase of
salaries commensurate with this, and
ar ft consequence these men find
hliriii'-,elves driven to a lower and
lower" standard of living. This Is a
grave menaec to the efficiency of the
institution, both present ami future,
for it must not he forgotten that the
highest ranks must be recruited from
time to time from pirn whose develop-
ment has meeaaarijy been limited in
the contl it ions surrounding this t ank."
ROUSED THEM UP.
A certain Scotch minister, a new-
comer in the parish, finding it impos-
sible to arrest the attention of his con-
gregation, became desperate. No
sooner did he appear in the pulpit than
•bey promptly composed tbmeslvcs to
sleep.
One evening, after taking up his po-
sition. he wrapped sharply on the
edg,, In front or him, and addressed
ins somnolent flock In tones of severe
remon&tranae.
"Now, brethren,” he said. “It s not
fair to go to sleep as ye always ha'
done directly I begin my sermon. Ye
might wait a wee til) | get aiang, and
then if I'm not worth hearin', sleep
awa" wi" ye, and I'll care no more; but
dinnn go before I ha commenced. Gic
me this on** chance.”
Finding they were all fairly awake
by that time, he went on;
“1 r.ball take for my text the (wo
wolds. Know thyseii, but 1 will say-
before I l>egin the discourse that 1
would not advise this congregation to
make many such profitless acquaint-
ances."

Royal Geograhic Society
Presents Peary With Medal
Achievement ot American Explorer Highly Lauded In
London—Eagle Soars Over Frozen Pole.
London, May 4.—Before a vast au-
dience at Royal Albert Hall the Royal
Geographical Society tonight present
eti Commander Robert. E. Peary with
the apodal gold modal of the society
and through its president welcomed
the American explorer as "The first
nip I only human being who evar led
it party of bln fellow-creatures to a
pole oi the earth."
A silver replica of Ihe medal was
presented to Captain Robert A Bart-
lett.
When the two explorers entered
the hall accompanied hy Major Leon-
ard - Darwin, president of the society,
the great audience arose to welcome
them and accorded them a reception
befitting national heroes.
Commander Peary prefaced ills lec-
ture with a tribute to British Arctic
explorers. The lecture was enthu-
siastically received, the audience
again rising to cheer when a picture
showing the Stars and Stripes flying
at the Pole «as thrown on a screen.
At the conclusion of the lecture Sir
George Hares, vice admiral, retired,
who commanded the "Challenger" ex-
pedition in 18711, moved a vote of
thanks to Peary, which was seconded
by Admiral Sir Lewis Beaumont, the
veteran Arctic explorer, and hy Cap-
tain Robert F. Scott, who will com-
mand the British expedition to the
South Pole this year.
in presenting the medal President
Darwin said:
‘‘America may well be proud to
own Peary as a citizen.”
He recalled that Peary already
possessed the gold medal of the so-
ciety, arid in conclusion said that the
special medal had been presented to
him not, only for bis recent achieve-
ment, but for the work of a lifetime.
The medal, which was designed by
MYs. Soott, wife of Captain Scott,
bears on the obverse side the portrait
hi profile of Peary, with his name
around the edge. On the reverse side
is a representation of the American
eagle -with wings outstretched soar-
ing over the polar regions. The in-
scription reads:
