Why, Wooiley himself admitted
that a supply OF intoxicating liquors
was practically necessity for the
tourist, when, in his statement be-

The ship that brings him (the tour
ist) VIII not lack full supply, and
he can carry his drink ashore; and
in the lavish hospitality that makes
the Islands famous, he is absolutely
safe from alcoholic drouth."
The paid agent of the Prohibition
propaganda admits that alcoholic
beverages are tourist necessity, but
he gets around IT by promising that
the visitor will be supplied through
an evasion OF the law.
Not every tourist is expected to
come OFF the ship and call for a
drink as his first need. But aver

Editor evening Bulletins;
Education is the greatest weapon
of the age, and one of the greatest
opportunities for educating the pub
lie lies in the welding of an edi-
torial pen. Therefore, It hurts
thinking man to see, at any time or
anywhere, the editorial mind, or,
should say. the editorial pen, turn
ed to arguments that are not sound,
not fair, or not within the clearly
defined boundaries of strict fact. The

erence to some communication
