subscriptions and membership fees
for its existence. This Is an organiza-
ton of liquor men, and it is willing
to render an accounting, give the
name of every subscriber and the
amount of his subscriptions, every
item of expense and the amount of
that expense.
In view of these facts the National
Model License league believes that it
is incumbent, not only upon the An
ti-Saloon league to make an account
ting, but that it is the duty of all
contributors to the Anti-Saloon lea
que, as we'll as the duty of the press
Of the country, to demand that the,
Anti-Saloon league explain what be-
comes of the hundreds of thousands
of dollars that flow into the Golfers
of that organization.

How Dry it Is in Ontario Town.
Statesman.

The writer at the invitation OF a
prominent citizen Of Ontario, Ore,
crooked his elbow over the bar Of the
Carter hotel in that city one day dur
ing the last week and enjoyed a re-
freshing drink of near beer
That's what the bartender called
it and that is the name the brew goes
by in Ontario. It is labeled "Malto-
ma on the bottle and, while 1t tastes
very much like beer, it's sale In On
tario was unheard of previous to less
than month ago, when the local
option law went into effect and the
town went prohibition.
TASTES whole lot like the real
thing, chr asked the bartender.
Pretty much, but it don't foam
great deal" was the reply
well, we got something from
Schlitz today that like better" and
the man behind the mahogany coun-
ter produced pint bottle labeled
"Lagerine'' and poured out two
glasses. 1t was an exact imitation OF
beer as far as color went. 1t smelled
like beer; it foamed like beer and it
tasted a whole lot like beer
Sell good deal of that stuff since
the town went dry?" was asked.
Eyes. That's all we can sell now
nv the drink, but most everybody
wants the real beer or whisky. We
sell both, but not to drink IN mere.
Since the common council refused 10
renew city licenses we sell only I'M
der a government license, and In tnat
way we can't sell less than gallon
of whisky at at time or a gallon OF
beer. -Four quart bottles OF beer
don't make quite gallon, and, SO as
to be on the safe side, we don't sell
less than six quart bottles at any
sale" -,
"Sell a good deal of it that way"
"Oh. about the same amount as
before the town went dry. But now
there are only two of the old saloons
doing business of that kind, Whlle
before prohibition went into erect,
five saloons were doing business
here"
ssWhat do the people think about
nrohibition now that they have been
trying 1t awhile?"
"Some are dissatisfied and some
pretend to be very much pleased with
the results

down on the part Of the Anti-Saloon
league, we think, would be Of pecul-
lar interest to the needy pastors who
see their congregation give hundreds
and thousands of dollars yearly to
the Anti-Saloon league. Many indi-
gent members of the churches who
give from their scanty store would
be glad, indeed, If they could receive
any assurance that their money is be-
ing spent for the cause of fighting
the saloon.
The National Model License lea
que has in its possession long list
of names of persons who have been
or still are, connected with the Anti
Saloon league, and who are charged
with large and interesting variety
of crimes, principally the crime of
defalcation.
1t would seem that 1t is due, not
only, to those who give to the anti
saloon cause, but also to the Anti
Saloon league itself, that the people
have some assurance that the agents
and leaders of the Anti-Saloon league
are honest, and that the money col
lected will neither be stolen nor mis-
appropriated.
Give and Take Offer.
In calling for showdown, the
National Model License league is not
asking more than 1t would give. The
National Model License league is at
all times ready and willing to give
an accounting for every cent receive
ed and disbursed. The National Mod
ell License league does not believe
that an organization has right to
hide its receipts and expenditures,
when such organization relies on

but this movement is a good
thing for my business. There is no
business local option can help more
than the furniture business, When
the men can't buy booze they will
sometimes buy some furniture.
They'll wear the same old clothes,
though. I'm satisfied, but say (rath-
er confidentially) this movement has
knocked spoke out Of the general
business wheel here that won't be

Fought For Local Option.
J. H. Shearer, another Ontario
business man, is credited with being
one of the most active in the fight for
local option, and he is rejoicing that
prohibition has become the rule in
his town.
"They are selling liquor by the gal
lon," he said, because Judge Davis
granted restraining order from
prosecuting them, but | believe that
the dealers are liable for every sale
made. The change is not affecting
business one bit and will help BUSH

Make It q Rule.

If you will make It rule not to
stand on the railroad track nor to
walk between the rails at any time
when following the line, you will DO
just as well off and not SO likely to
be run over by the cars.
Follow this rule when there are
no cars in sight and then you will be
more certain to observe 1t when there
is danger.
Don't walk between the rails.
Be afraid of the track.
Be afraid Of the cars.
