''An Injustice"

The Chemistry Bureau of the Department of Agr-
culture recently prosecuted liquor firm for 'mis-
branding" gin, labeled as, Highly recommended for
the kidneys and BLADDER
"The Liquor Dealer calls this effort to protect
citizenship from alcoholic poisons injusticev
An injustice to whom? Not to society certainly. 1t
that to the liquor mind, society has absolutely no
rights, and only exists to be exploited by the liquor
gang. Should society put forth any effort at self
protection, which is natural and inalenable right
against liquor frauds, then it is guilty of "injustce
The gall of these liquor spouters is truly amazing

Out With All of 1t

The Anti-Saloon League sometimes is criticized
because its attacks to be directed against the
saloon place where Intoxicating liquors sold
RETAIL under license tax. But in the lexicon of the
Antl-Saloon League no such meaning has place
lhe term saloon means to the League any place where
liquors manufactured or sold, and this term in
cudes the brewery and distl1ery we'll the place
where liquor is sold by the drink 1t goes farther
than that for the saloon existing with authority of law
despite it, is still a saloon Liquor sold legally is
just to intoxcate liquor sold in the blind
tiger and the speakeasy The results of drinking liquor
bought and paid for would not be different from the
results Of drinking liquor that had been stolen.
1t is against the sale of this abominable stuff that
the League contends. It would throw the whole stink
ing ugly overheard. 1t would tear up this
noxious weed root and branch. Brewery, distlery
wholesale liquor store, saloon cafe thirst palace grog
gerry jointly whatever you call it and whether
sells by the barrel the glassyes whether it sells
under license illicity-let's have done with the
whole business.

Some Pertinent Questions

What reason is there in spending tens of thou
sands of dollars each year in keeping and boys
from becoming criminals and at the time main
tanning in every block crime-producng institution
WORKING every hour in the day and every day in the
week?
Where is the logic in building and maintaining
institutions to restore criminals to decent manhood
and at the time permitting thousands OF saloons
to continue the work of making criminals out of decent
men?
Where is the wisdom of building Our great educa-
tonal institutions for training the heart brain and
hands of our young and at the time allowing
the saloon to exstan institution which in every way
units these young men for the work for which they
are trained?
Is it not folly to give much OF our time and
money to lift the standard of citizenship and at the
same time bv our votes or by indifference permit
saloons to openly, publicly, persstenty and pern1c
iouslv work to lower this standard? This is the way
the Congregational and Christian World puts it:
It is not chiefly that the saloon political evil not
chiefly drunkenness is abhorrent not chiefly that IN
teeres with business altogether that makes
50 much misery many but that at last seeing
that and ntemperance are the enemies OF sous
that have WORTH and the destroyers OF bodies that
have cost such care. We last seeing how utterly
illogical even mbecle it spend thousands of dollars on
schools produce fine SOULS and thousands
of dollars sanitary cities and streets and houses and safe
guards to grow healthy young and even to spend
thousands criminals MANHOOD and then to
allow on any corner institution which destroys both body
and soul.
We want Our working men to be at their best in
order to the greatest results for themselves and
vet scientific tests show that heavy drinkers and con-
6rmed drinkers have their productive efficiency low
cred at least IS per cent that the every day drnker
suffers loss Of productveness Of fully 50 per cent
and the occasional drinker a loss of 10 per cent.
Why work to build up to the greatest degree OF
efficiency and then keep on hand lot Of grog shops
to tear down that efficiency?

Ohio for Roosevelt.

Columbus, May 22-Returns shoy
that Roosevelt gained at least
80 out of the AZ district delegates
to the national convention yester-
ny. Governor Harmon has at least
2S of the AZ district delegates and
Wilson s. Harmon has large
lead in the preference vote. 1t is
estimated that Roosevelt has
carried the state by practically
10000. Taft so far has carried
but three districts entire. 1t is
thought that the Roosevelt forces
will dominate the Republican state
convention which will name the six
national delegates-at-large
Complete returns from SO Of tn
IS counties show that Roosevelt
carried As and Ia IA. Harmon
carried the same number as Roose-
welt The rural vote thropghou the
state was light, as the farmers, who
had been retarded by the weather,
preferred to put in crops rather
than got to the polls. La Toilette
got his heaviest vote in the
Twenty-first district where he
polled 4163. In Fulton county he
got more votes than Taft. OF the
IA counties which so far are re
ported as carried by Taft, half are
Democratic sttrongholds, where the
vote was very light.

The Best Havforlx

Two years ago the Hawkins hard
ware store introduced an improved
hayfork. 1t was put out by the
manufacturers of the Keen Kutter
brand of tools, and its merits at
once found favor. Since then it
mas had big sale. For handling
all Kinds of hay it is superior to
al other forks, but it is es-
peclaly valuable in the alfalfa
Ileld. No hay will hang on the
FORK. 1t is a time saver and a
labor saver and there will I'M
uoubtedly be still larger demand
sor 1t this year than ever before.
