A people who complacently insist upon wasting two billions of dollars a year for that which is of no value or benefit whatever to the consumer, but brings only harm to the individual and distress to the nation, should either cease complaining of the high cost of living or shut up her trouble-making, poverty-producing factories. If we do the latter, there will come such an era of prosperity as we have never yet seen and "hard times" will be forgot ten. The high cost of living is not to be compared to the price we pay the liquor traffic for ruining our citizens and despoiling our homes. The most vicious and dangerous evil of modern times is the saloon. It is the enemy of the home, the church, the state. Its Hgcnts know nelt hereon, science nor honor. Inspired by greed they will if necessary to accomplish their ends, degrade the home, corrupt the church and dishonor the btate. Controlling avata army of voters whom itjhas debauched, It dictutes party nominations and municipal, btate and national legislation. Ever alert, ag gresblve aud unscrupulous, it trades upon the evil passions of public men and wins its way by furthering ambiti ous purposes gratifyiug petty bpites, or filling yawning pockets. It la am bitious to dominate cities, states, the nation. It supports any party that will protect or further its Interests, and will end by using and controlling all parties. What is the 'duty of the true citizen in his relation to the sa loon? It is open, uncompromising, un dying hostility. "Heredity and environment, no mat ter how good, are of no value after a boy becomes a cigaret smoker," writes I). H. Kress, M. D., in a letter in the Chicago American, in which he states that Teddy Webb, one of the Chicago auto bandits, who has been captured recently, was aeon tinned cigaret fiend. Webb is the son of honest parents who lamed to make him- self-respecting. Dr. Kress continues: "By inquiry you will ascertain that all of his yonthful coMpanious who took part with him in bla holdups were cigaret tleuds, aud probably began the use at an early age The cigaret, more than any other one thing, is responsible for the present crlaae wave und for mauy youthful criminals. The fact is that 1)5 per cent of the young fellows who llgure lu our police courts aud enter our reform acuools are cigaret tmokers aud begin their duwnwaid cuiecr withtheir use. Tfaese facts aie well known by judges of juvenile courts aud other oillcials." Auother shock the "liberal" ele ments of our complex soulul organiza tion is the decision of the president to exclude Intoxicating beverages from the white house tabic. A great uiauy people who might otherwise take plea sure in dining with the president and Lis family will account it un alfrout to be iuviled wheie they can't tank up a little letweeu courses. We ate glad the president has taken thisstaud for tempei hucc and sobriety. It may be better for, those who swig to do bo during meal time, but there is no phy siological justification for the use of alcoholic beverages under any oircuin stauces. If it is discouraged lu high places the example will have a wide spread iiillueuce for good. I'm glad that Wilson won't iro(mie The white house table with et)Uiiip;innc.

The Sober Truth There are a number of people In lied Cloud who are ndvocates of high liconsc honestly believing that the liquor question can be best settled by rigid control of saloons. The argu ment Is advanced that no long as liquor is manufactured it will be bought and sold, hence it would be better to con fine such sale to a few persons who would be held responsible for any ac cidents, or any violation of law, and further the schools are benefitted by the license money. However honest men are in holding these opinions, we believe that they are mistaken, and that the facta do not bear them out. Iu the first place it has been convincingly proven right here in Red Cloud that the open sa loou is not only the greatest Institu tion of evil In America in the eyes of the temderance folks but it is also the greatest enemy of the other side of the question as well. As a matter of fact who put the saloons out of business lu this city? Was it the growth of temperance sentiment? Did the ef forts of the one third change the ideas of the two thirds? By no means. The two saloons which were so high hand od in their utter violation of every law, made the saloon business so unpopular that decent men would no longer be a party to such defiadce. And the sa loons went. This city Is not a mining camp, neither is it the resort of de graded humanity. The W. C. T. U. (and we believe a great majority of thinking men) is against the American saloon because of its violatlou of law, its efforts to make drinking popular, and its great avarice. It is conceeded that no man can ruu a saloon and live up to our Slocum law, then why accept n man's money when you know, aud he knows, that it is Impossible for him to per form what he swenrs he will perforin when granted tho privilege? We all know that whed the three saloons were here it was u common sight to see dray loud after dray loud of beer brought up from the depot. We no longer see that sight. We believe that the records of the Burlington stutlou will show that there is not one tenth as much liquor shipped into this city as there was wnvii we had our thiee open saloons. So far as aiding our schools is con cerned we simply wish to ask what would 81o00 amount to iu our school fund when we read the statement iu in last week's issue of the Chief that our schools cost us 8 10,800 per year? We are aware that it is no longer popular to present the "seutiuiental" side of this question, we are told that tho recital of the woes and heart-aches of the wives and mothers has lost its power to influence voters to register their judgment against the saloon, but we do know that "money talks" and we simply want to ask the business men of this city If they would not be pleased to tap a territory that would spend from $2 1,000 to 930,000 a year in their stores. The three saloons un questionably took in that much money each year. If the big corporations have found out that driuking dimin ishes the efficience of their help, it is not a good thing for your clerk, your boy or yourself. We are confident that the spring election will show a greater majority of dry votes than at any previous elec tionlet us make it unanimous. HOW TO MAKE HOUSECLEANING EASY Don't wait until tho first warm ''weather and then try to d.i overything in two week. There are a lot of odd jobs that can be done during the winter evenings of January, February or March that you will want to do in April but won't have tine. For instance look over your dining room, living room anil bedroom furniture, etc., and see if they don 't need brightening t ;). Begin nou Take one article at a time, wash it with strong soap, then aandpaper it smooth, and brush on the varnish. They'll be like new. Pun unadulterated Chi-Nairn-1 flows out smooth, requires little brushing, and does ftot need an expert to turn out a perfect job of varnithing. No brush marks no laps.

Perhaps we did not take as many orders as we might have wished, (there is no limit to our desires in that direction,) we are very well satisfied with the results and consider that the orders we did take will bring us many others, as the tools we have to sell are also made to do the work, for which they are intended, in the. best possible manner. We cannot afford to sell an article that will not give satisfaction to the purchaser, for thereby we would lose his confidence and we could never sell him anything else. We believe that one satisfied customer is worth more to us than two that have grouchs and when you buy an honest article at an honest price we know you will be a satisfied customer.
