The MUD BATTERY

The people are waking up to the
fact that the Anti-Saloon League is
gigantic fraud
The trouble is that the League is
on its last legs. 1t is finding it in
creasingly difficult to get into the pull
pits so that it can pull money from
the unsuspecting public. AS the pub
lie becomes more educated the hard
er it is for the League to get money.
&C. Durant Jones, Chairman Prohi-
bition party of Iowa in Champion of
Fair Play (saloon organ), March ~.
This group of pharisaical ranters
are constantly posing as the embodi-
ment of everything righteous and
holy, one of their principal claims be-
ing that their organization, the Anti
Saloon League, represents "The
Church in Action Against the Saloon"
They also secure the vigorous back
ing of those few religious denomina-
tons whose half-baked and incompe-
tent reverend cast-offs form the rank
and file of its working force, and the
press of such virtually subsidized bod
les are always ready to expatiate with
pious JUNCTION on the virtues of the
League and its leaders.-Both Sides,
Liquor Organ.
The liquor business of the United
States has more men and more money
than the entire Anti-Saloon League
organization, and could crush that nest
of crooks if it would really act as any
other business interest would act, if
attacked by mercenary and corrupt
enemy.-Golden State Liberal, Stock
ton, Calf, Saloon Organ.
Fifteen years of tremendous A. S. L.
work, 900 men drawing $500 salaries,
entering churches, silencing preachers,
fleeing congregations, resulted in in
creasing it 100000 gallors in 1910
over 1900. License is its best friend,
local option, the next best.-F. P.
Vennum, in the Danville Banner, Pro-
hibition party paper and in The
Protector, Omaha saloon organ.

The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1913-04-11

The mental obscurity or at least
perturbation of Both Sides, Mime
apolis liquor organ seems well-nigh
complete. 1t is certainly an interest
ing case for the a1ienists and psy-
chiatrists of the northwest. This men
tai alteration is we'll illustrated by an
editorial in a recent issue of this moist
journal in which the editor wagers
"a fea's hind leg against the trium-
plant bray of Balaam's ass" cold
Smiler" Of late, but wherefore we
know not, has lost all his jibes, quips
and quiddities-all his wonted jo1lity.
His smile has come off and nothing
but the grouchiest sort of an "Old
Growler" remains. Judging from his
recent lucubrations, cold Smiler" has
that within him which passeth show.

Moral Suasion or
Scientific Truths?
You need facts to COM
bat the mOnstrous evils of
the liquor traffic! s.

Bare, cold facts will do more
than moral suasion. You can
say, Johnny, you oughtn't to
drink-please don't drink and
if Johnny 7OamtS to drink bad
enough he will go ahead and
drink anyway. But suppose you
say, Johnny, if you drink, even
very moderately, in time the poi
son of alcohol will destroy the
cells of your body and brain. You
will loseyour health and strength;
your body will become wreck
and your brain will be weakened.
Alcohol will destroy your brain,
if you give it chance. Alcohol
causes more insanity than any
other one thing!' If you can
prove this to Johnny, you will
instill in him a horror for the
stuff, and Johnny will be saved.
But no guess-work-no molly
coddle appeals to Johnny, espec-
tally if he is in his teens.
If I were a Sunday school
teacher, I would put copy of
"The Relation of Saloons to In
sanity in the hands of every boy
and girl above the age of nine
years. I would tell every scholar
that states like Wisconsin have
one insane person to every $50
people, while the eight states
having statewide Prohibition
have only one case Of insanity to
every 873 people,!

VIVID ELECTRICAL STORM.
Disturbance in the Atmosphere Early
Sunday Morning Causes Tremen-
dOus Lightning Display.

Between TWO and three o'clock on
Sunday morning, lasting about q half
hour, there was a thunder storm that
out-thundered any storm that has
beat around and about here in many
long day or night. 1t was terrific,
awful. The lightning famed and
flashed, the thunder roared and crash
ed, the wind blew and the rain pour
ed.
Talk about lightning-like rapidity,
it was there on time, with the rapid
fire strokes and deafening peals. So
fast upon each other came the flashes
and the peals that it seemed to be one
continuous reverberation, loud and
startling. Not many people failed to
see and hear the binding lightning
and the deafening thunder and some
nervous persons were frightened near
ly dumb or speeches. upon being
awakened by the fury of the angry
elements. Serene Christian people
felt a little uneasy as their homes
we're so startlingly and thrillingly il
Illuminated by flash after fash,a and
trembling sinners were suddenly
made to realize what the Almighty
Hand could do with this-little ball
of land at any time in the twinkling
of an eye.
There were many scared people
huddled together in the houses. They
hardly ever get to witness just such
a dreadful and dreaded electrical dis
play as that which occurred here at
that early hour on Sunday morning.
It was a great relief when it ended,
as it was a great strain while it last
ed, to those who huddled in the hall
ways or went into other rooms as we'll
as to those who remained in their own
beds. Many got up and dressed. 1t
was a time Most people, the sensi-
BILE ones were scared"
