THE RECORD HERALD

We regret to place the Chicago Record
Herald in the light in which that excellent
paper is of necessity placed by the facts
which are presented in the article from Kan
sas City which appears in this weeks Ma
honaz Prohibitionist. That someone con-
nected with the editorial staff of that paper
made a serious blunder in accepting the
matter from Kansas City in which W. R.
WAGGoNER was quoted against Prohibition is
evident. Common editorial prudence would
have dictated that something be learned con-
corning Mr.. WAGGoNER's standing and char
acter before publicity was given to his state
ments. If it be replied that Mr.. WAGGoNER
was vouched for by Chicago parties who are
interested in the publication Of his story, the

THE NATIONAL PROHIBITIoNIsT

statement may be accepted as true, but it
hardly relieves the situation for the Record
Herald, as the parties who were interested in
the publication of Mr. WAGGoNER's story
were not people who ought to have the ready
ear Of the publishers and editors of great,
influential dailies
But the Record-Herald makes a worse
mistake when, having published the matter
which came from Mr.. WAGGoNER, it closes
ITS columns against reply. The National
Proh'bltlonlst has it direct from the editorial
rooms OF the Record-Herald that that paper
was ''obliged" to take this course because of
the fact that both the friends and enemies
OF Prohibition poured in such masses of mat
ter. 1t may readily be that more matter has
been sent to the Record-Herazd upon the sub
Ject than that paper could readily publish,
but we see no excuse for a professed cir
culator of information that gives currency
to a mass Of falsehoods and refuses to give
herring to the truth

A SORRY CANTEEN DEFENSE

The Wdtchman, the wel-known Baptist organ
does itself poor credit i'll placing before its readers
a letter from nameless octogenarian who de
tends the military gin mill on the ground that her
brother and her son were surgeons in the army
and afterward in certain soldiers homes and told
her certain facts" about it. The Watchman ex
cuses itself for publishing the letter upon the
ground that 1--WE have found it hard to get at the
truth"
There has never been any difficulty in getting al
the truth concerning the canteen question: on the
part of anyone who wanted to get at the truth
The facts are plain, tangible, unmstakable. In
large part they matters of official record To
anyone who is willing to listen to the testimony OF
men like Chaplain ORvILLE NAVE, Gen. DAGGETI
Gen. Guy HENRY, Gen. 0. 0. HOWARD and scores
Of other unimpeachable witnesses there is no
ground for doubt The whole question has been
thrashed over to its mnutia the assertions of the
liquor interests and their military friends have
been analysed and puverized and there remains
of the canteeners' position nothing but the ashes
of exploded falsehoods.
This statement is stronger than the facts in
the case.
Now comes this poor old woman eighty years
of age, already past the years of active thought
when the canteen question first assumed an acute
stage, and she tells over, with childish simplicity.
the official story that has been poured into her
ears by her relatives who were officials of the
drink selling government, how mo could
have more than five glasses in twenty-four hours
how mo one ever got drunk in canteen,' and
how the alternate of the canteen was chose horri
bic saloons managed by devils and visited by aban
doned women"
All of which we have all read in the liquor
papers and in the reports of the official canteeners
from Washington and all of which we know to be
nonsense The Watchrnan not only had good
excuse for putting the matter before its readers
but has no good defense against the charge of dis
honesty and misrepresentation. To allow an aged
and incompetent witness to retail manifestly
false testimony is fraud.

THE MODEL LICENSE LEAGUE

The people OF the United States are to be con-
graduated upon the clearness with which the
Model License Leagues first address to the oen
eral pubic reveals the character of that insti
tuition
IL IS probably perfectly thinkable thing that
a group of liquor sellers, men of reasonable in
telllgence and having the rudiments of mora1itv
and decency in their makeup, might have been
so impressed with the evils of the drink bne;,ase
and might have been so deluded concerning the
possibility OF reforming the business while per-
petuating its essential character, that thew world
have formed such an institution rs the Model
License League for the reformation of the 1iouor
trade. we presume there are people in the
United States who, when they learned of the
formation of this League, looked upon it as an
honest endeavor along the line which it pro-
tesses to operate. Such an estimate of its charac-
ter is forevermore impossible. It comes before
the voters of the United States with an address.
issued in the name of REFORM and for the osten-
sible purpose of winning public support to re-
form measure; and the address, dispassionately
analysed, proves tissue of misrepresentation and
falsehood
OF course, we had no reason to expect anything
different Falsehood is a part of the stock-in-
trade of the liquor business and always has been.
No document of the liquor trade was ever issued
that could bear scrutiny and comparison with
fact and the mendacious character of this address
merely proves that the saloon, in the Model Ii
cense scheme, is the same old child of perdition
that it always has been
The facts concerning this matter deserve wide
publicity There ought to be some means of
reaching every voter in the United States with
accurate information concerning the character of
this address.

the remedy always was to present some excuse
for an assault upon the Christians.
There are striking contrasts in the situa-
ton today, but there are parallels that sug-
gest the historical reference
The people who govern our American
clties-more properly who misgovern them
and who largely employ the powers Of
office committed to them for the purpose
OF subverting good government, thwarting
the peoples will and plundering the public
interests are taking a leaf out of the note
book OF the old Roman emperors, and the
Christian having grown too popular and too
powerful to be the scapegoat take shy
at the Anarchist" when public criticism
of official wlckedness becomes too acute.
Nobody cares much for the Anarchist
The poor fellow, at best, is a sort of crack
bralned creature, dead wrong in his logic
and reasoning, dangerous, perhaps, in mod
crate degree, but seldom violent, without
friends and practically without defenders.
This makes him a safe mark, and when the
public begins to grow FESTIVE under the non
enforcement of law by the highly paid police
begin to ask the mayor why he swears to
enforce the law and then swears at anyone
who asks him to do it-why, then there is
nothing like having little "Anarchist' to
set up in a public place and spectaculary
knock down and pound to pieces, while the
claque applauds, or an anarchists Queen"
to harry about the country. All that takes
the peoples minds off from the real problems
of government; it diverts public attention
from the really dangerous criminals and
from those things that threaten the per-
petuity of American hberties-and it is
cheap.
But the people Of Chicago are to be con-
graduated that they have not allowed them
selves to be stampeded in any considerable
degree, by this latest case of anarchy-bait-
ing upon the part Of their anarchistic mu-
nicipal government It is hopeful sign
that the majority of the citizens of this great
city have taken the excitement and the Juror
and the arresting Of boys and girls and the
loud talk about Conspiracy for just about
what it is worth, and that the blowing over
of the storm finds thoughtful people coming
straight back at the police force to talk
about its sins and shortcomings and neglect
of duty
Whatever may be the peril of the anarchy
that talks Yiddish and carries red flag,
the people of Chicago and Of the United
States are very certain about the reality of
that kind of anarchy that lives in the city
hall and the gin mill, and are not going to
allow their attention to be diverted from it
by any cleverly arranged "men of straw
