1t is asserted by natural historians
that hungry wolves when they cannot
find other animals to prey upon, de-
YOUR one another. The rapacity of
this species of the genus CAMS, is well
illustrated in the liquor camp. Our
esteemed wet contemporary, the
Champion of Fair Play offers reward
of $50 for the arrest of certain fake
distillery agents infesting liquordom.
One of the leading liquor organs runs
a column-long list of fraudulent dis
tilling companies" This organ fran
tically calls upon the trade" to look
out for this bunch of scoundrels. This
is natural enough. The liquor dealers
have preyed so long upon the general
public and their capacious nav has
become so ravenous that they are
preying upon one another. Better let
the wolf eat wolf than wolf eat lamb
Sic 'em.

Flarebacks


The liquor interests are "hollering"
long and loud about the possible loss
of revenue to the government and of
business to the trade" occasioned by
the passage of the Webb bill. These
perspiring patriots only see one side
of question and that is their side.
They do not see that even if the gov
ernment would lose some revenue and
the liquor trade some business, it
would result in the great good to the
community at large. Every dollar
saved from going into the saloon
keepers till adds just that much to
the comfort and progress of the peo-
pie.
