The Way to Destroy the Liquor Esusi-
ness Ia to Fight II.
The above caption Is borrowed, but
the supply being exhaustless It does
not have to be paid back. 1t is tru-
ism that means no failure in proper
effort to do anything that ought to be
done and that where failure occurs it
results from imperfect methods in the
effort to do the thing.
Ought the liquor traffic to be de-
stroyed? Fifty million voices respond
yes! But are even 100000 of those
uttering the response trying to destroy
It, and. if SO, how2 In unity there is
strength. aud in organization there is
power. The liquor traffic is organized
and unified for both offensive and de-
fensive work. and every license party
in the nation Is organized and standing
behind 1t with license in Que hapd
authorizing its existence and stat
utory law in the other protecting Its
privileges. And therein rests Its
strength. Now. If the business ought
to be destroyed the laws authorizing Its
existence and protecting it in It's grant
ed privileges ought to be repealed and
let It stand before the country as q
nuisance and an 0utlawed evil instead
Of protected industry. And II po-
littcal parties in power will not repeal
these laws a party ought to be placed
in power that will. Why nrst legalise
an evil and throw the protection of law
around 1t II the ultimate object is to
kill IT. II the business ought to be
destroyed. instead Of laws to create,
license and protect y. there ought to
be law fixing severe penalty to
every attempt made to engage In It.
That would strike ut tho root Of the bust

It to fall Of its own weight 1t is the
plan proposed by the antilicense Prohi-
bition party. and the liquor men them.
selves say IL carried out they may as
we'll hang their harps ON the willow
tree and prepare to 90 out of the bust
ness. To say that the business ought to
be destroyed and yet cannot be, even
II we thus go at 1t right. Is to say that
wrong has the ascendency over right
and that the devil has become stronger
than God. The DEVILS forces for the
time being may he stronger than Gods
forces. But II so 1t Is because the latter
are out OF harmony with Gods meth.
ods and not because Gods power to
accomplish good through right methods
has weakened. Then let us restudy the
question and see II we can find any
warrant in Gods word for first legal
ising or licensing an evil in the state
ana nation and then trying to destroy
It inch by inch. Therein has been our
folly.

100000 ana the remaining 100000 is
offered to negro capitalists at $40 q
share.

fined to certain localities can be done

TO yENIKATE STREET CAR
1avemeaea of Brooklyp Health on
es Said to Work vKsll without
Causing Chilling Draft.

A simple method for ef1sctuAlly ven
tilating street cars without causing .
draft has been devised by DR.. Walker.
chief OF the health department ol
Brooklyn Confronted with the prob
lem OF providing for the ingress Of
fresh air and the egress cf fool Ais
without subjecting the passengers to
a chilling draugt. DR.. Walker sought
the Aimplest possible means. He had
two Hsenings made in the deck
SASH of car shout ten inches apart,
into which were fitted Stats to ;detlect
the intake df air to the roof Of the car
Between these openings a shingle wa
extended from the side Of the car so
the wind ~ould strike against it when
the car was in motion.
The principle on which DR.. Walker
proceeded was that air would strike
the front Of the shingle and be defect
ed into the car, while dust, cinders,
etc. would fall to the ground. Simul.
taneously the forward motion would
create vacuum in the rear which
would suck out the vitiatcl air of the
car through the rear stats. The cold,
fresh air introduced would sink to-
ward the floor and tAe heated, the viii.
ated air would rise aad pass out.
He had rags and refuse burned in
the car until the atmosphege was rem
dered absolutely unbearable. The ca.
was then sat in motion at the average
rate of speed. 15 to 18 miles an hour,
and Dr. Walker reports that within
two minutes and 30 seconds the air
within was absolutely fresh and purt.
1t is estimated that during the time
the car was in motion 300 cubic feet
OF air minute came into the opening
IN the front and similar amount was
exhausted in the rear. The absence Of
draft to which passengers would
have been subjected was particularly
noticed, az the progress Of the fresh
air TO the bottom of the car was SO
gradual it could not be detected by 8
lighted taper.
