THE Washington Post, in n of
its characteristic editorials, cham
pions the cause of the moonshiners.
Among other things it says:
The truth is that not only the
moonshiners, but a great many
other people, of more or less in
telligence, begin to believe that
the army of homicidal deputies is
maintained much less for pur-
poses of justice to the taxpaying
distillers than for purposes of ex-
plotting a purely political organ
ization.
And the man who stops to rea-
son about the U. S. internal reve-
nue. laws is mighty apt to conclude
with Puck's ejaculation, "What
fools these mortals bel" A free
people (so-called) and an intelli'
gent people (so-called) putting
pains and penalties upon the ex'
ercise of their industrial rights! 1
the manufacture of liquor is {
crime it ought to be absolutely
prohibited; to license it, in tina
event, is outrageous. If it is not
crime, then it's special taxation il

THE st. Louis Jail is overcrowded
with prisoners awaiting trial, and
it occurs to me that Mr.. Folk would
better serve the State by fulfilling
the duties of his office, just now,
than by going over the State and
making speeches in behalf OF him.

may be an old fogy whose fault is
that he is behind the latter-day
notions of thrift and personal ad-
yancemcnt.

How does this read in "Free
America" coming from an insti-
tuition that is supposed to incul-
cate freedom of thought and the
the cultivation of the reasoning
power? 1t reminds Il of the
''good old time" when to think
was heresy and men were punished
with nose-slitting, ear-cropping,
etc., ETC., for INDUCING in the
anarchistic practice:
The faculty of Washington
(Kan.) college to-day ordered the
socialist club of the college to dis
continue its meetings. The order
is said to be the result of letters
from Eastern financial supporters
of the college saying they would
withdraw aid unless the club was
suppressed.
