Worse than War, Pestilence and Fam
inc Combined.
Ida H. Read, president Vermont W. C.
IT. III

Do the voters realize the danger of eX-
changing our Prohibtory law for Lii
cense? The saloons of the United States
send every year $4,000 to fill drunkard's
graves, and 100000 more to the poor
house. The entire world rejoices that the
Beers and the British are at peace. Some
of us understand about the horrors of
war, but do we. comprehend that the
liquor traffic is worse than war, pestil-
ence and famine combined? The great
wars of the world from 1915 to 1871 in
GLIDING the Franco-German war and our
own Civil war, cost a fraction over
twelve billion of dollars. The liquor bill
of the United States for the same period
was SIS. 900, 900 900 or SO 900, 900 more than
all the wars of the world during the same
time. For every 1000 killed in battle rum
kills 12,5O0
1t takes 100000 boys from each gener-
alton to feed the saloons one boy from
every five families thirty boys from
every little village of one hundred and
fifty families. Are we ready to sacrifice
the boys from our Vermont homes to
satisfy the greed of this great enemy of
souls? VIII the Christian men of our
state compromise with sin, or view with
apathy this great danger confronting us?
o, that each man would realize his own
individual responsibility, and in these
days of political strife stand in fear of
God for the purity and safety of the
childhood of Vermont.

The temper of the people of Ellens-
burg was pretty well aroused Friday
afternoon, when the P.-I. was received
and it's misleading headlines were
opened up to view For months. in
fact. ever since John l.. Wilson lost his
grip on the republican party in Kitttas,
the P.-I. has never missed an opportu-
nifty to misrepresent this city and val
the body of the report as sent from here
by the P.-I. correspondent, the whole
blame being attached to the P.-l. Office,
as there is where the headlines are
made up. Report has it that about fifty
daily supporters stopped the paper Fri
day and Saturday and that several
others will do likewise us soon as their
time is out. This lesson is pretty severe
and ought to teach the P.-l. that while
Kittitas valley is on the same side of
the mountains as Yakima. that Yakima
is not the only valley east of the noun
tains. The people Of Ellensburg are
perfectly willing to accord Yakima her
Just deserts and are only glad to see
her reap the just reward of her toll, but
they also believe that Kittitaa is en-
titled to the same distinction, and if the
Sound dailies do not accord her such, Il
boycott will follow as a result. Who
can blame our people for resenting such
gross insults? Certainly no fair minded
person.
