PROHIBITIONISTS AND
TAXPAYING.

The Champion of Farblay, a Chicago
liquor paper, insults the national flag
by placing it at the head of column of
mendacious nonsense in which it claims
for the liquor traffic the credit of "sav-
ing Old Glory" The matter with which
it supports this claim is mass of boast
ing concerning the dirty hush-money
which the liquor traffic wrests from it's
-7vNfecttlinls and turns into the United States
treasury. The outburst closes with this
sentence:
A professional Prohibitionist never
has and never will contribute one cent
towards the support of the govern
ment.
Whatever professional Prohibi-
zionist" may mean, this is sure, the
mass of Prohibitionists are honest, we'll

THE SENATE HYPO-
critics.

The Republic of St. Louis expresses
the opinion that the bill which the SEN
ate judiciary committee is now reported
to be willing to pass, prohibiting C. O..
D. shipments of liquors, addressed to
fictitious persons and practically in
tended for sale to any person paying the
charges, is hyprocritical. 1t points out
that such shipments have already prac-
tically ceased, and says:
1t is merely an empty and hypo-
critical bid for favor with those who
desire to restrict or do away with
the liquor traffic.
There is no more honesty in it than
there is in Republican promises to do
something to the tariff "after the
election"

Local Option

[Orrin II. Graham in the Venango Daily
Herald
Local option is with all Difference
to the many genuine adherents of the
temperance cause who favor it) the
oldest superstition since the days Of
Salem witchcraft. When we see that
it has had the field for more than
half century, that millions of dol
lars have been expended on it, that it
has had the advantage of large news
paper publicity and the best of oppor-
tunity in every way to show what it
can do, and when we see that in spite
of all this the liquor traffic, with every
other evil, is steadily and marvelously
on the increase in the land, that SO
many otherwise shrewd persons are
clinging hopefully to it will one day be
regarded as incredible.
Just as I opposed high license when
it was all the rage, and Republican
booze papers were advocating it as the
final solution of the liquor problem, so,

POOR OLD TIMES

The New York Times which, in all its
history was probably never known to
utter single word favorable to the
temperance reform, must have read some
handwriting on the wall somewhere for,
reviewing an article in which the ad
vance of Prohibition is summarized, it
says:
Nevertheless, sooner or later, the
pendulum must swing the other way.
The best than can be hoped for is that
the saloon will never regain all of its
lost power in the states which have
abolished it.
Doing very well, poor old Times.
But don't worry about that pendulum.

They'll Stand Pat
From the Buffalo Courier.

There is no reason to believe that the
Republican national convention or the
Democratic national convention this
year will endorse national Prohibition.
The failure to do so may lead an I'M
usual number of Democrats in the
South and an unusual number Of Re-
publicans in the North to vote for the
Prohibition Presidential ticket. But if
this should occur, the Republican party
would have far more to fear in the eff
feet it would have on the electoral vote
than would the Democratic party.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent. but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold. but this stipula-
tion is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not overcourteous demand
for money. II is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.

Mr. Brsnt-Sero is widely read and
cultured and is a student of the basic
principles of law. His standing as a
legal authority may be gathered from
the fact that he recently has been ap-
pointed a lecturer by the Personal
Legal Rights association, which has
many eminent jurists among its mem
bers, and is organized for the purpose
of giving assistance to poor persons
whose rights are invaded by official
dom and who are in danger of suffer
ing injustice because of their ignor-
ance of the law. Mr. Brant-Sero now
goes from town to town lecturing on
the work of the association and organ.
