liquors, more or less. Russia

;s increasing hostility toward strong
drink on the part <>f the French
.Mid British governments. Germany
.'Ud Austria-Hungary have strictly
limited the sale oC spirits in their
capitals, in respect to hours and in
r<gard to soldiers in uniform. tier
Man submarines are kept entirely
" dry," at least as to some of the
i't»*t of them.
All this is done to increase 11a
ional efficiency in a great crisis
The object is to make the fighting
men in the field and on ships and
the diminished force of workers
left at home as useiul as possible
It is warfare against alcoholic
P.quors to better the chances of a
n inning war against hostile nations
The plain inference is that
it" enforced temperance so surely
..i.d so n>; rkedly increases na

it must be beneficial in peace, also

Heing ixxtsessed of sonu» proper
ty and concerned tor the wel
:~re of .Ms three motherless cliil
an Ohio ruan took thought
of tne future and asked himself
*hat he could do to m-ke his plan
secure in the event of his death
l:-*ing au attorney, he prepared a
•• ill. .letting forth his desires and
namit.g as his children's guardian,
.. woman who had teen his wife's
.'.end. who had kept his house dur
ing the several years of his widow
erhood and who hud tared for the
< hildren all that time.
This appointment, it is said. his
relatlvra are preparing to contest
in court, owing to the fact that he
came to a violent death a few days
■'ZO aii'l the ctrcumstar.ce that the
uoiiseKeeper is called upon to an
»»>r to a charge oi first degree
mi-rder in that connection T'aey
arsue. with some color of plauslbili
ty, that the deceased would not
have committed his children to the
custody of the woman it he could
have foreseen that he would be
shot dead by her.
The case presents interesting
phases, whose development in the
sev ral courts will be observed with
curiosity. Should the woman be
found guilty and as a result be
placed where she could not fulfill
the 'auctions of guardianship, it
may bo presumed the 6tale will pro
ride guidance for the children in
some other quarter. But what if
sne is acquitted on her contention
of self-defense? Will the court
nold th it the children should be
placed in the hands that killed their
father, albeit without culpability?
Would !l be justifiable to conclude
that this might even have been the
tt-jtutor's wish under the circum
stances?
Hut aside from its dramatic as
pects the Van Wert case brings up
•i pr.i.'tical question i.i a very point
ed nmsier: Why do nieu try to
govern the future so strictly from
t'te srave, deciding exactly what
tneir luirs may ami may not do
•a i* 1- 'l.ejr inheritances, seeking to
dictate how they shall conduct
themselves in otlie;- respects and
writinc all this down in wills to
be executed as by a dead hand, un
der circumstances of which, in the
uature of thingrs, the writers can
know nothing?
