Recently the liquor papers of America published
what they declared was amazing proof of the as
serton that prohibition doesn't prohibit, in the find
ing from agents figures, that in some of the
prohibition states moonshinng was going on ex-
tensively. Of course everybody knows that in the
mountainous districts of some of the sparingy
populated states there is moonshinng, despite the
efforts of the authorities put it down. But now
B. Mccoy, special agent has declared that the
sort of illicit whisky making is being conducted
in Wisconsin II the state in which is located Mil
waukee with all its breweries Isn't it fact that
everywhere will violate law and that somebody some
where will violate any law? Isn't it well known that
in the places where saloons thrive best there the
place where there the most speakeasies?

Se1fiShneSS the Worst Sin

Selfshness is the supreme sin, the root of all evil,
the thing, indeed which evil and permits
exist. Were universally unsel6sh, all assoca-
tons which have their object the betterment of
mankind would go out of business, having nothing
do 1t is we'll remember in this connection, that,
besides the unwsdom of a few misguided persons,
there is nothing else but sehshness that keeps the
liquor business in the world Desire for gain, what
be the loss to Others inspires engage in
the manufacture and sale of that which does nobody
any good but does everybody harm. The

building to be used for the conduct of wicked bust
Politicians, serving selfish ends, wont to
wink violations of the law vote and work for
measures which permit liquor selling. Taxpayers,
thinking they the saving of penny two, vote
permit and to perpetuate the saloon for the
it produces. Many of the who drink in fact all
who have not become alb ec slaves habit take their
potations for selfish qualification.
There is but one lesson in all this for those who
would make the world brighter and better and that is
that the fight against this worst of evils must be
waged all along the line from the kindergarten teach
ing to the work at the ballot box.

LiquOr Advertisements

The Baptist Standard has this to say concerning
newspapers whose editors and proprietors publish
liquor advertisements:
There difference in moral quality between keeping

money and both corrupng And there difference in
moral quality advertising whisky and drumming for whisky
Papers which help the liquor business the
hurt the homes and the All papers ought quit

The Standard is absolutely right. When

ADMIRAL MAHAN GIVES REASONS WHY CONGRESS
should BUILD BATTLESHIPS FOR PROTECTION

many against Great Britain might be
placated by Great Britain repudiating
the Monroe Doctrine. This does not
mean that Great Britain desires. or
should desire. new American territory,
but that she should enter into an
agreement with Germany that she
would not oppose any German project
to obtain American territory, CONT
mental or insular.
This would be on the same lines
by which Great Britain arranged her
Iong-standing territorial difficulties
with France, by conceding a free hand
for France In Morocco OF course. we
Americans do not wish to depend up
on any other nation for support TO our
rational policies, yet we may need it.,
and probably would not receive it, If
We relax our battleship building. Even
the intermission of single year will
embarrass the future seriously. Here
is the place to mention that very re-
Gently an article has appeared in
German magazine directly assailing
the doctrine. If attacked as being
without support from international
law, and also contrary to German in
terests. there is no reply except an
adequate battle fleet.

Points to German Policy as Po-
tent for Future Ex-
panSion

With the two houses Of Congress
| in controversy over the battleship
building program, the following view
OF the military situation by no less
an authority than Rear Admiral Ma
han is especially timely:
The late w. T. Stead, foremost
journalist. who went down in the Ii
tanic, was a peace enthusiast; he
published a periodical called War
Against War, but coincidentally, as
peace measure, he advocated laying
Down two British battleships for each
German, one and was largely instru-
mental in the sustained increase of
the British Navy. In the United
States the Monroe Doctrine, il of
shorter tradition, is nevertheless a
national policy similarly conducive to
peace and equally established in the
will of the people, but although there
exists a present evident necessity for
navy, the relation between ii and
the Monroe Doctrine is not as clear
to the apprehension OF our people as
the relations of the navy to their in
sular well-being has been to British
citizens since the time of Shapes
peare.
"Yet the Monroe Doctrine has not
a leg to stand on, except the United
States Navy. Eminently moral as the
doctrine is, because it makes for the;
peace and independence of all Amer
ican States, it has not behind it al
shred OF sanction from international
law It's assertions are contrary to
established international practice. II
contravenes particular European in
terests. 1t forbids in the American
hemisphere the political transfer of
territory to or between non-American
States, proceeding which has pre-
vailed everywhere else from time i'm
