The proposed law is a safe one and
the danger of furnishing beverage to
whiskey consumers through it's pro-
visions is extremely remote. My point
is that while this denatured alcohol

wholesale rectification would be an
extremely dificult matter. and a pro-
cess easily detected. OF course you

crude material. even wood alcohol;

| A few weeks ago. says Mr.. John
son, an elaborate plot was laid by
the opponents of the bill. working
through the Perkins Union Detective
Agency of Pittsss-rg. operating in the
interest of the wood alcohol trust, to
bunco the temperance people OF the
country into fighting the measure.
The plot was discovered and explod-
ed before it was scarcely In working
order.
/ The following are the points OF adj
vantage which the legislation would
have to the temperance cause:
We would no longer be compelled :
to argue what we would do with the
money invested In distilleries. -
We would no longer have to ar
que what we would do for market
for the farmers grain.
3 Distillers would no longer be
compelled to push their products into
the beverage market when a useful
one is open to them.
If we aid in this matter, 1t will
give us the friendship of scores OF the
most powerful organized manufacture
ing industries in this country which
are now fighting for this economic
reform
/ In harmony with the views OF our
chief leaders will you not quickly
write to each of the members of Con.
gress from your state, briefly telling
them that you favor this bill and
that it is your desire that he support
it. Get your friends to write. Every
letter counts whether from man or
woman. Do this quickly and we shall
have our reform on a higher and
easier basis"

says:
81 am most heartily in favor of the
removal of all taxation from alcohol
, when properly denaturized. 1t has
been exceedingly short-sighted Of our
rulers in Washington to have SO long
permitted this industry to be 30 sorely
handicapped No good comes from
this tax except to Germany and other
foreigf countries, which are Americas
commercial rivals.
Mr. Samuel Dickie, President OF
Albion College, Albion Mich. says:
There is no just reason why the
government should impose a special
! tax on alcohol properly denaturized
and adapted only to mechanical and
Industrial uses. / think 1t would be
a step in the right direction II such
tax were removed.
The following editorial was publish
ed in the New Voice Of Chicago, hay
ing been written under the direction
, of the editor, Hon. John s. Woolley:
Our war is not against alcohol or
the proper use of alcohol. We have
no quarrel with the man who wishes
alcohol to pickle snakes, to light his
house, to drive his automobile, to
manufacturer hats, varnishes shoes,
enamels. dyestuffs shellacks, ETC., and
thousands of other things that enter
into the manufacturers of every day
life
BY allowing free alcohol, Germany
, has become the chemical laboratory
? of the world.
