The Origin of the "WoTvi11e Stories"

The liquor papers take much satisfaction in
quoting extracts from The Sunset Trail' one of the
'Wolfville Stories" by Alfred Henry Lewis
In this particular novel, Mr.. Lewis reads into the
narrative lot of his own views as to the Prohibition
policy. Mr.. Lewis savagely caricatures people who
opposed to the saloon.
There is no law against Mr.. Lewis doing this, but,
years ago, the same licensed saloon made very
good caricature of man out of Mr. Lewis.
When he was practcing law in Kansas City, Mr..
Lewis known as CAP Lewis, and there he &C
cumulated such and ungovernable appetite
for booze that he compelled to go out the
plains for safety way beyond the reach of the Ii
censed liquor traffic
There, earning his living a cow-puncher, he
accomplished two things He overcame his appetite
for drink and accumulated the material which he has
since been using in writing his Wolfville stories
Almost universally, the victim rescued from the
clutches of drink becomes mortal enemy of drink,
but Mr. Lewis takes the unusual of defending
the adder whose fangs were once deep in his flesh.

Fencing With His Own Shadow

Liberal Advocate of Columbus, Ohio, addresses
column of editorial matter to "The Editors of The
American Issue" The burden of the pronunciamento
is as follows:
The Liberal Advocate, vocng the sentiments policies
and of licensed dealers in beverages has
stated and doubtless have read these repeioned
ratlons-hat it is the purpose of licensed liquor Dealers
10 elevate their business to higher plane of law and
morality
To obey the law.
To cleanse the business entirely far disordery
To favor strict instead of lax, enforcement of law by
the licensing power.
To help in cutting the black sheep from the ranks
10 conduct their business that public favor not public
odium will follow.
To refuse to sell beverages minors.
To prohibit absolutely and Internationally any of
gambling in their places of business
10 lessen drunkenness by refusing sell to known
ebrlates to those who display signs of noxcaton
To the moral of business from top to
bottom, from end to end
Let us see about this. Liberal Advocate purports
to be the Official Organ of the Ohio Liquor League"
What is the Ohio Liberal League now doing to
carry out the above program?
For weeks the organization has had a lobby
working in the Ohio legislature seeking to enact
license bill utterly devoid of any restrictions of the
traffic that would be at all effective in carrying out
their alleged program.
And, by the way, these fellows have been yelling
for ten years from the house tops that they were
going to "clean up"
They have it in their power to "c1ean up" and
why don't they "cean instead of forever telling what
they "going" to do?
Editor of Liberal Advocate is merely fencing
with his own shadow.

Menace of The
Money Power

1t is rather surprising to realize, as one must
from time to time, how many people there
in this world who measure everything and
even character itself. by the s0rdid degrading
dollar standard and whose moral obtuseness
obscures even the ordinary giimmer of intelii-
gcnce. Perhaps it Is a matter Of training and
Of daily NE that delude himself with the
offensive idea that everything even the char
acter. is purchasahle Such people this. with
moral sense perverted and intellectual percep-
tions eclipsed sometimes fancy they can buy the
+ convictions of a real man intimidate bride
such by the Jingle of the guinea the
threat Of its withdrawal. The alarming nj
crease Of this money worshiping class and its
bold bald efforts TO assert and exert power over
/ others either to bride or intimidate. may well
engage the attention Of thoughtful people and
elicit adequate rebuke. We find their class in
every community, men too obtuse to perceive
that a certain so-caled business proposition
/ Is bald, unblushing effort at bribery, or a
poorly masked attempt to coerce others.
We have heard much Of the money power
and the commerciaIistic standard in our politics
! in recent years, and have sometimes seen
the veii withdrawn and its hdeous exercise ex-
posed TO view, to the disgust of all decent clti-
zens 1t may be well for TO remember that
the money power and the commercial standard
as manifested in politics is the inevitable re-
suit of its domination by individuals who COM
pose corporations and political parties. These
are but aggregations Of individuals and their
standards of honesty and decenCy not bet
ter worse than those of the majority of the
individuals who compose IT, The who
fancies that he purchase bulldoze a
political party a reputable newspaper that
he restrain it from publishing what 1t con-
ceivcs to he public duty to promulgate is de-
serving Of pity contempt, 1t is hard to de-
terniue which. The effort may be thinly yelled
+ or poorly masked or sugar-coated. if that be a
more apt descriptive phrase, but even In this
game IL cannot for moment delude man of
strict integrity and sterling character.
There is need for awakening along this
line Of curbing the pernictous, albeit insidious,
efforts Of money a lease of petty power to
lntimidate to budoZe to beguile men into
submission to suggested schemes covering
those standards nnnn the maintenance OF
