Gloom in the Alcoholic Air

The last two years have been i'm
presively threatening to the liquor
traffic. Beginning with the defeat in
Main, which was entirely unneces-
sary, We have lost the crucial contest
OF the intervening period.
There are now nine prohibition
states. West Virginia, the last to
fall in line, was swept by a tremen-
dous dry majority, although up to
the day of the election our leaders
there claimed the state. Taking the
nation at large, there has been an in
crease in prohibition territory.
The passage of the WeLb-Kenyon
bill, its veto by President Taft, and
its victory over the veto by more
than two-thirds majority, apparently
marks the climax of movement
that has been active for half a cen
fury. If the supreme court declares
the act unconstitutional, it does not
change the impressive fact, that in
the face of the united effort of all
branches of the alcoholic liquor
trade, the national congress voted
for the bill.-Geo. Muller, late sta
tistician, United States Brewers AS

Journal, April 2, 1913.

W AVE AND TIDE

On the far reefs the breakers
Recoil in shattered foam.
While still the sea behind them
Urges its forces home;
tt song of triumph surges
Ger all the thunderous din,
The wave may break in failure.
But the tide is sure to win.
The reef is strong and cruel.
Upon its Jagged wall
One wave, a score, a hundred
Broken and beaten fall:
Yet in defeat they conquer
The sea comes flooding in,
Wave upon wave is routed,
But the tide is sure to win
o mighty sea, thy message
In changing spray is cast.
Within Gods plan of progress
1t matters not at last
How wide the shores of evil.
How strong the reefs of sin.
The waves may be defeated.
But the tide is sure to win.

0usting Of Clements
To Square Political
Debt Raises Storm

The plan to GUST Judge Judson
Clements, OF Georgia, from the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
make way for a patronage candi-
date" is causing a storm of criticism
among the judges Georgia friends,
and echoes of the storm are being
heard in Washington.
The fact that Judge Prouty, the
Oldest member Of the Commission in
point of service, is to retire, makes
it appear that the services of Judge
Clements. the next oldest member,
are particularly needed at this time.
The Washington Times has this to
say:
THE public has some rights in this
matter that can not safely be ig-
nored. The use of patronage power
to pay personal or political debts at
the expense of a most important
branch of the public service will be
neither forgotten nor forgiven"
