LOOK OUT FOR THIS CHAP

A glib talker has been dipping house
keepers in Wilmington. He made dill
gent canvas offering six months subscrip-
to the Woman's Magazine and in addi-
ton free premium of life size pastel
portrait. The sum asked was only twenty
five cents and there were many takers,
with the result that the canvasser reaped
harvest.
The stranger had large assortment of
pastel portraits which he displayed as
samples of the work which his dupes
were supposed to receive For the twenty
five cents he received the canvasser
handed over a receipt which formerly
was blank receipt to be flied out by an
agent of the Publication Promoting Com
pany for the Ladies World. The address
had been crossed off with lead pencil and
the words Ladies World were also crossed
out and Womda's Magazine substituted.
The name Fl. Brown was signed as agent.
The fakir is likely to be touring the
towns of the State and THE TRANsCRIPT
readers had better make note OF it.

.cHEAP wHIsKEY"

Occasionally the E0ening Jour
nal leaves off its far seeing
glasses and attempts to criticise
things and persons in Delaware,
instead of those in Philadelphia,
Oregon, California, Missouri, or
some other localities. This has
happened in the past week, and
fault is found with those who in
trying to locate the cause Of the
recent disorder in this state, be-
cause they do not agree with the
Journals ideas. The. writer of
the article in question attempts
to be funny, by saying that eff
forts are made to place blame on
"cheap whiskey' as distin-
guished from what he calls "good
whiskey.' So far as THE TRAN
SCRIPT is concerned, we hay e
not attempted to distinguish be-
tween two varieties, except as the
class of people who take part in
the troubles under consideration
usually buy and drink the
cheap" kind, as they are unable
to drink the Journals brand.
Nevertheless, we think in view of
the statements made be U. S.
Governments food experts, that
only about five per cent. of the
whiskey sold is pure, or nearly
so, and that the cheap whiskeys
are adulterated with wood al
cohol, pepper, and other deleter-
ious subjects, we are forced to
the conclusion that cheap whis-
key" is more harmful than "good
whiskey." The Government In
ternal Revenue tax on whiskey is
S1.10 per gallon, which is paid on
every gallon manufactured; yet
plenty Of whiskey is sold at
1925 per gallon at retail. This
brand of liquor is often adulter-
ated after reaching the retailer,
and is the kind which is more or
less responsible for the violations
Of law, recently noted as an
alarming feature of rural life in
Delaware. A man who is per-
mitted to fill himself full of this
kind of poison is not responsible
for his acts, be he white or black.
What THE TRANSCRIPT is con-
tending for is an enforcement of
ali the laws, against morals as
well as against property.
