EDUU SUfFMSE DEFEIT
BIBS SOUPS' VOTES
NEW YORK, June 22—“To the vic
tors of Armentieres the electrical com
mittee, of the Prussian three class
house has given its thanks in .a re
sounding boxing of the ears,” says the
Berlin Vorwaerts in commenting on
the committee's rejection of the equal
suffrage plan.
"All war reports praise the sacri
fice and obstinacy with which the
brave men of the west blazed a way
through the impassable mud and the
crater fields. What that costs in
sweat and blood no one can conceive.
On the other side of the crater field,
however, they wait not for the Eng
lish but for the Prussian reaction
aries to push them into another mud
field, into the slough of political dis
enfranchisement.
"For this sarcasm and fraud prac
ticed on an entire people the only
slogan can be ‘fight to the utmost.’
Equal suffrage must be carried
through the slough of reaction. We
face the fight with good cheer.
‘‘Those in the front cannot defend
themselves against the insult com
mitted against them by those who
wailed hypocritically because the elec
toral reform was being prepared with
out the help of the field gray and who
now are forging an electoral reform
r—i r— ---
at the expense of the field gray. Ev
eryone must give a hand. Every party
aid means a beam across the slough.’
CLOTHING AND LEATHER
ARE SCARCE IN GERMANY
NEW YORK, June 22.-»-The scarcity
of clothing in Germany has resulted
in an order that all municipalities
negotiate with societies for the util
ization of materials used for hall dec
orations, says the Berlin Tageblatt.
The imperial clothing board has been
forced to deny the applications of
communities for the delivery of cloth
ing and linen for the city children
sent to the country because of the
scarcity of supplies. Worn footwear
and old leather may be sold only to
persons and boards designated by the
imperial board for shoe supply. The
same holds good as to all finished
goods in whole or In part of leather
such as trunks and hat boxes, foot
balls, dice boxes, saddles, school knap
sacks, harnesses, and card cases.

A CHEERFUL THOUGHT
Be cheerful. Mental depression
checks digestion. Poor digestion
wastes food. Wasted food helps the
enemy. Cheerfulness is conservation.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 22.—War
, and Kentucky whisky have produced
a number of millionaires. The story
of its accomplishment forms an in
teresting chapter in present day his
tory.
Eight months ago distillers were
gloomy over the prospect of ruin as
the result of enforced closing of their
plants for a period of two years and
the aggressive advance1 of the prohi
bition movement. Today, through
whisky price advancement, according
to statements made in the Louisville
wholesale liquor district, practically
all have become \veil-to-do, or have
been thrust into the millionaire class.
About twenty men in Louisville alone
are said to have become wealthy as
a result of an advance of approxi
mately $2.50 per gallon in whisky
prices since September 1 of last year.
One man, long identified with the
whisky business, said that whisky
owners and dealers who have held
supplies have made money so fast that
they hardly know what to do with it.
One of them, he said, has made ar
rangements to provide annuities for
certain of his older employes.
Retailers say that the consumer
must settle the bill, and that over
the-bar customers are not only paying
more in cash in many cities, but are
getting less for their money.
One Louisville plant had 30,000 bar
rels when prices began soaring. If
the owners have retained It they will
realize a profit of about $3,525,000.
Another distiller is reported to have
50,000 barrels, which at present prices
would yield him $5,875,000. Still an;
other, it is said, had 25,000 barrels,
now worth $2,937,500. Five others are
reported to have holdings which would
net them $2,350,000 each, or a total
profit of $11,750,000. One dealer is
said to have cleared $2,500,000 alone.
Many small dealers who held from
100 to 200 barrels have cleaned up
from $10,000 to $20,000 each. The in
dicated holdings of the men and firms
aggregate approximately 300,00(0 bar
rels of whisky of forty-seven gallons
each, or 14,100,000 gallons, on^which,
it is currently reported, they have 1
realized $35,250,000. Many are hold,
ing their stock lor even higher prices.
The report of the internal revenue
department shows that there were in
bond in the United States on July
31, 1917, 193,673,000' gallons of whisky.
Of this total there was in Kentucky
108,321,723 gallons. March 1 of this
year there was in bcmd in the United
States 178,404,000 gallons, and in Ken
tucky at that time there was 98,492,
000 gallons, thus showing a with
drawal in the country during that pe
riod of 15,289,000 gallons, and a de
crease in Kentucky of 10,829,723 gal
ions. !_
When the law closing distilleries -
became effective it was estimated
that there was a supply which would
last for two years or more, but the
withdrawal rate which began this
spring, it is estimated, will deplete
the supply in a year. During March
there was taken from bond more than
10,000,000 gallons.
Last September the price of whisky
in bond ranged from 50 to 60 cents
a gallon. Later in the fall it rose to
$1. At this record price one distiller
sold approximately 75,000 barrels.
Now the price stands at $3.05 per gal
Ion.
