LopSided Patriotism

The liquor interests just bowling long
and loud that the enactment and enforcement of pro-
hibtory legislation is monstrous invasion OF personal
liberty They would have us believe that unless this
temperance agitation is stopped the whole country will
land in the national junk heap. So dlstraught are
these quaspatriots the supposed perils of per
sonal liberty that their platform speakers shout in
cessany and their journals give large space to this
subject One listening to this liquor din and hubbub
might conclude that else in the country cared
fig for the liberty of the people and that the liquor men
were the only genuine, ownn-the-bote patriots the
nation had
The liquor men not sincere in this The funda-
mental principles of the prohbitory laws in all their
essential features have been in the past years invoked

Booze is Sure to Win

Not infrequently good advice is handed out by
criminal young man landed in Chicago jail
short time ago for forging check. According to his
story his father died eight years ago. leaving him
half million dollars The young man had never done
any work and his days and nights were taken up in
having good time, as he thought. This large
of money was turned to him, and while it takes
level head to spend that sum of money wisely, the
young mans head not entirely level. According
to his own statement he tried drink up all the liquor
in the country and followed that occupation until,
finding all his money gone, he passed worthless
check on a sa1oonkeeper which landed him in jail.
After spending time behind the bars and be-
coming thoroughly sober and having opportunity to
look the past with its many mistakes, the young
fellow gave out this significant statement mo man
can fight booze and get away with it. No matter
who the man is what his backing it will beat him.

The young man is right. No man can fight booze
and get away with it. 1t will beat him every time.

Public Rights and Personal Liberty

We concede to the individual the fullest personal
liberty of action consistent with the rights of society,"
but we demand the elimination of the liquor traffic.
because it is wrong because it is wicked per Sc be-
it is destructive, and matter of protection
organized society. Prohibition of the liquor traffic is
fundamentally demanded because this traffic heaps
upon society the greater portion Of paupersm prevail
ing heaps upon society large proportion of insanity
epilepsy and kindred ills heaps upon society heavy
burdens of taxation without due return; because it
undermines health conditions of society, mentally
morally and physically because it degrades the ind
vdual members of society; because it debauches its
citizenship and discrepancies its bene6cent operations
To say that society SHOULD not do this is to
say that society should not defend itself and its in
terests To say that society CAN not do this, is to
say that society is mpoten to protect ITSELF and the
logical sequence of that is to the archaic days
of private vengeance-a turning backward the clock
of civilization thousands of years.
The highest personal liberty is the right of pro-
lection through organized society The liquor traffic
is essentially attack upon liberty and Patrick
Henry preferred death to surrender.

Brewers and Vice


The American Issue has insisted year in and year
out that back of every illegal seller of ntoxicants
stands the brewer and wholesale liquor dealer pro-
tectng the speakeasy keeper and the booegger from
prosecution. Incidents from every state in the union
confirm this statement.
The Minnesota senate has been given rather
interesting evidence regarding the relation of the
brewers of Minneapolis and other cities of the
to vice Of all kinds. This senate committee is in
vestigatng the ownership of saloons by the brewers
of Minneapolis,
A notorious woman who kept most vicious re-
sort testified before the committee that only did
she buy liquor for unlawful sale direct from the
brewery but under oath asserted that the house in
which she operated her place rented to her by the
agent of of the breweres and that she received
from this agent constant tips by telephone concerning
the activities of the police.
Police officials testified before the committee that
in rading disordery they always found beer
in and that in their raids they found the beer of
every brewing company in the city except A
detective who formerly driver for a brewery
concern testified that it the custom of the brew
cries deliver beer to disordery houses for sale He
said that some years ago an order had been issued
forbidding such delivery, but the order not
forced and the custom stopped. There
was plenty of evidence to show that when persons
arrested for the unlawful sale Of liquor it
agents of the brewers who the courts and pro-
vided these awbreakers with money to pay cash bail
There is nothing surprising in this testimony. 1t
is doubtful if there is brewery in the country
which does not sell liquor to disorderly resorts and
speakeasy keepers if the opportunity presents itself
These men talk long and loud about elevating the
business and getting rid of the dives and of making
saloons respectable and ORDERLY but they not only sell
to dive keepers and illicit dealers but protect these
patrons when they get into trouble.
