Marshall, candidate for the Democratic presidential nom ination, today sent to Colonel Bryan telegram asserting that he could not show preference for any one who might be chosen for temporary chair man of the national convention, espe- cialy Judge Parker.

Business Mems Conference

For the federal government, through its interstate
commerce law, to interfere with, hamper and largely
null1ty the laws OF any state regarding it's police
matters, is not good government good morals good
sense or good business.
The people of any state should have the right to
attend to their affairs without the interference of
greedy, special interests, operating through laws
higher up.
A year ago, two hundred business men of the
country met at Washington, to set in motion the
Kenyon-Sheppard bill, and progress has been made.
Now national conference of business men is to
be held in Washington, December 10, to urge the
completion of the work we'll begun.
The eyes of the business interests of the country
will be upon this conference 1t is healthy sign of
the times when the business interests take hold of
proposition.
Get behind this. Write to Dr. P A. Baker, Yves
terville, Ohio to E. C. Dinwddie, Bliss Building,
Washington for further information, including tenta
tive programs

Women have not brought the millennium in

If the protest against taxation without representa-

Behold, the Worm TWiSteth

Some time ago, American Issue published several
pages of letters that had passed between rev U.
c. Robinson and Hugh F. Harvey, chairman of the
congressional committee of the National Liquor
League proving that Your Uncle Robinson
financed by the liquor men to make trouble inside of
the dry camp.
At first "Rev." Robinson declared that if he wrote
the letters at ALL they were some addressed to E. C.
Dinwidde, of Washington, and not to Harvey.
Next Robinson denied that he had written them
at ALL but said that they were forgeries
Now Robinson comes to the front with brand
explanation. He accuses DR.. George L. Muller,
former statstician of the United States Brewers AS
sociaton with having had something to do with pro-
curing the letters which exposed his connection with
the liquor men, and now applies sulphurous epithets
to the statistician.
Come Robinson, why don't you the
American Issue for libel or have somebody pinched
for forgery if the discriminating letters forged

where and all that. He wished to restrict drinking
by reducing it to a system.
The people naturally forgot all about Platos
negatlons and committed to memory his ahirmations.
Platos rules the foundation of many of our
drinking customs of today
Thirty years ago, H. w. Hardy mayor of Lin
coln Nebraska conceived the notion that if the license
for the sale of drink put at high figure and if
the traffic surrounded with multitude of restric
tions to when one should drink, and how and
where, that the traffic would be stihed confined and
finally strangled.
Mr. Hardy became known the Father of High
License 1t took him but few years to learn his
mistake, and he still lives to curse the day on which
he developed that egregious notion.
High license has proven a powerful factor in
popularizing and respectabeizing drinking practices.

Plato, EpicuruS and H. w. Hardy

The two men who did more than any other two
men in Greek history to popularize drink were Epic
urus and Plato.
The former was friend and the latter an enemy
of alcohol
The idea of Epicurus that we would be
long time dead and that life limited that one
should, therefore, make the most of life.

Plato, out of desire to restrict drink formulated
all sorts of regulations for drinking; when how,

"Hold fast to that which is good" is good advice.
Victories gained the liquor traffic must be held,
and every foot of ground wrested from the enemy
must be defended But this is not ALL for if there is
no advancement, progress that which is held
will slip away.

Victory in Tennessee

The triumphant reelection of Ben w. Hooper as
governor Of Tennessee marks progress in the fight for
decency against liquor domination. The campaign
strictly speaking not made party issues, and
Hooper was chosen as a Republican, in state which
usually has been Democratic chosen too, in spite
of the fact that he was opposed by both Democratic
and Progressive candidates, and Woodrow Wilson
carried the state by good majority. The people of
Tennessee have learned the lesson that all the people
of America are learning, namely, that party lines count
for naught when moral issues are at stake. It is
glorious victory for rghteousness-th choice of Ten

Underwood Bill Revising Downward
 In Senate Today

Washington. Jan. sO-Unscathed des- bite the assaults of the Republican minority in the House, the Underwood bill revising downward the metal schedule, was presented to the Sen ate today, and will shortly be in the hands of the finance committee The measure passed the House, late yes terday, by a vote of 21O to 1O9, 20 Re publicans voting with the Democrats.
 It was expected, today, that the Senate committee would grant hear ings on the measure and that it would be several weeks before a vote in committees could be taken. If the measure gets to the floor in the same way that the other tariff revision bills did. last session, it is the hope Of Democrats that the progressive Re publican-Democratic alliance, which forced through other measures, may be again revived. The progressives have not yet mapped out their plan of action, it was said, today.
 Prior to the passage of the Under wood bill, President Taft told the Re publican members of the Ways and Means committee that he would veto the measure on the ground that tariff revision should wait definite inforIna- tion from the tariff board.
