NEMO'S COMPLIMENTS TO OMEN.

EDITOR BuLLETIN:-
Omen, the narrow s0uled fabrica-
tor, has (with his usual trickery)
taken advantage of my answer to
"W hat they say" and has garbled
and perverted ii in manner, think
ing to make me appear ridiculous.
But it won't do, Omen, the reader
has taken your measure sometime
ago; and has got your cold, clammy
nature down to perfection. Omen's
article in the BULLETIN of Oct. 81,
from beginning to end, is filled with
nothing hut batch of repetitions
and whimperings, coupled with the
temper and peeyisbness of child
that has lost its sucking-bottle.
Omen says: "Nemo has to be fairly
kicked before he can see point.
| will say that am satisfied (and
have been for sometime past), that it
would take the kick of government
mule to make Omen see point out
side of his own narrow -mindedness
or to kick any sense of right into
him whatever. In the BULLETIN OF
Sept. 19, Omen said "There was
a prohibition candidate for governor,
Ferdinand Schumacher, at the same
election, who received 1852 votes.' -
Does not the above vote show there
are only 1862 prohibitionists in Ohio?
Or had the others gone on one OF
their little periodicals in New York
city? Perhaps Omen can explain.
For my part l am getting tired of
having to correct SO many of Omen's
intentional errors. / now ask OF
Omen, to furnish the reader the
source of his clippings, in all O bis
late articles. If he is afraiG or
ashamed to do it, hope he will be
man enough to say so. | have given
the sources of my information; it is
only fair, that Omen should do the
same.
The cost of city government in At
lanta, Ca, increased 10 percent
during the year of prohibition.
Rents in Atlanta, Ca, declined un-
der prohibition, 10 to 60 percent.
''There are twice as many houses
vacant to-day, under prohibition, as
there were when there was no pro-
hibition." - Atlanta Constitution,

because we believed the people of
Atlanta had the nerve to carry 1t

few months trial, to pronounce it a

Daily Capital. ''There is decided
increase in the number of illicit dis
tilleries in Georgia, which Collector
Crenshaw attributes to two causes-the
extreme leniency of the courts and
the home mark ct afforded by prohibi-
ton. Atlanta Constitution, 1887.
''All the figures, logic and cunning
sophistry of prohibition cannot alter
human nature. They may legislate
until doomsday and 1t will still re-
main true, as it has from time i'm
memorial, that the human appetite
cannot be controlled or restrained
by law on paper" Chicago Tri-
bune. "The crank does not seem tt
understand that man may oppose
prohibition without having deep
seated affection for rum. New Or
leans Picayune.
''In the long run, the operation
or the inoperativeness of this law

chievous as its pretentions are dis
