had to look out lest he give his hearers
an opening for some opportune but
ribald Interruptions"
Mr.. Bradley gave a loud laugh.

knew there was no foundation for these

Let us remember that Jim Good and
Charlie Pickett and Burton Sweet are
all republicans fully entitled to aspire
to office. If Cousins and Birdsall are
afraid to go against them in the pri-

should not be blamed for any wrong
doing. Let us be careful lest famil-

The effectiveness of prohibition
lies in the fearless and the I'M

Where the officers of the law are
not in sympathy with the violat-
ors of the law there is more
assurance that prohibition Will
prohibit, at least in the same
ratio as may be applied to mur-

Men will kill, men will steal,
but if there were no restraint by
law. and the fear of the gallows
