Ode to February.

Here's the gallant month Of Feb How
The slush doth flow and cbb, How
the nrluen2iay now Goth echo ON
the way, with its soft and lunefuI
sneeZes: with the oft repeated
wheezes of the snuflles, blithe
and gay, soushins round lis night
and day
All thou month when resolutions I'M
dergo great revolutions, and the
poor unhappy man who's been
good since first of Jan doth re
sumc the ancient vice that one
time gave life its spice, sending
down good pavement hard for
Gehennas boulevard
How the winter blasts do roar, How
they thunder at the door. How
they shake the window pane with
Borean might and main, How the
world doth crack and thrill with
its wealth of frosty chill, followed
shortly by the hush of an endless
stream OF slush,
How the taxis chug and thud, scat
terin2 the liquid mud Ger the
carelchs passer-by, as upon their
p way they fly Oh the mornings
bright and clear with hint of
spring-time cheer. followed by a
falling night in the grip OF biz
Iard tight,
Touch of spring, and touch of fall,
with old winter over all. Now a
bird song from the tree Now
slnmp Of mercury! Now hint
of viole's, Now old Xero'a chill
regrets, What in all our yearly
web is so raw'5 a day in Feb?

Louisville. Ky. Feb. PA vigor-
Gus letter of protest against the en-
actment of the Kenyon and Webb
measures which seek to compel ship
pers of liquors to have foreknowledge
of the intentions of conslgneeS in
interstate transactions has been sent
to every member of the house and
senate at Washnston, by T. VI. CD
more. president of the National Model
License League
The letter is as follows:
"On behalf of the active and as
sociate members of the National Mod
el License League. and on behalf OF
the millions of citizens who are SIN
cerely in favor OF proper regulation
of the liquor business, | venture to
address YOU in regard TO the pending
bills drawn for the purpose Of curlall
Ing the interstate thipment Of aIr"-
holic beverages.
Il am informed that the Anti-Sa-
loon League is using every agency
at its command to bring about tn"
passage of these bills. This activity
of the Ant-Saloon League at Wash
ington is directly due the fact that
the extension Of prohibition beyond
local option has brought about an
annual increase of nearly five gal
Ions per capita in the consumption
of alcoholic beverages, the increase
being due TO the purchasing of liz
uors in wholesale quantities by con
sumers, which in turn increases the
use of alcoholic beverages, much TO
the discredit of the prohibition agi-
tators.
1T is "a matter of public knowledge
that |, as president of the National
Model License League, representing
the leading dstllers. brewers, whole
salers. wnemakers. retailers, etc,
throughout the country have challeng-
ed the Anti-Saloon League TO amend
all existing prohibition laws so as TO
put a penalty upon the purchase and
use of alcoholic beverages in dry
territory, assuming that the only OBJ
iect Of prohibition law is TO prohibit
the use OF liquors.
THE Anti-Saloon League, as an
nounced through the newspapers OF
the country declined this challenge,
admitting that a law to prevent the
use Of alcoholic beverages in dry"
territory would break down the pro-
hibiton movement. and make prohi-
bition unpopular and ridiculous.
The bills of the Kenyon and Webb
type seek to convict the shipper of
