A Dandy Constituency

A Western brewer, in a frenzied effort to foist
his bug-juice on the market, advertises that all the
energy Of sunshine and all the power in the earth are
concentrated in his beer" 1t is generally conceded
that beer has power to destroy health, wreck and en-
broil society, ruin business and damn the souls Of
men; but that it was as omnipotent as this brewer
claims it to be, to say the least and the mildest, is
somewhat startling. To say nothing about solar dy-
namics, there are several combinations of terrestrial
substances such as nitro-glycerine, dynamite and
giant powder thought to have considerable power,
but this brewers "suds" lays them low. Maybe the
brewer lied.
One of the dreariest tasks imaginable is to be
compelled to wade through the editorial columns of
the liquor press. With here and there an exception,
they are a wearisome waste of vain repetition,
bald assertion, r%e-hashes, bad English, wretched rhet-
oric. inane twaddle, prone sycophancy to the liquor
lords and namby-pamby drivel.
What a dandy constituency they must have that
relishes or will even stand for such stuff!

Wet Victories

Who are glad in wet triumphs in elections? The
sports, buns, thugs, thieves, %foot-pads, harlots, graf
tiers, liquor hyenas and jackals and the predatory and
vicious classes generally. Hell rejoices in them.
Who are sorry in wet victories? The churches
and their pastors, the schools and their teachers, the
wives, mothers and children, business men, employ
es of labor, the educated and refined classes gener-
ally. Heaven is sorry.
Who will suffer from wet victories? Wives will
lose a husbands love and protection and their homes

Dry Towns and Enlistments

During the recent wet and dry campaign in Ohio
an enlistment officer of the United States was heard
to express the hope that the state should not go dry.
Asked the reason for his attitude, he said that it was
almost impossible to get army recruits from dry
towns.
Now this is a powerful anti-saloon argument. OF
course, on the whole, our army is made up of material
which is far better than that in other countries. 1t
is we'll known, too, that whenever America is men
aced by foes from either without or within, the pat
riotic citizenry rush to her defense, unmindful Of the
cost in life or property.
But conversation with army officers will disclose
the fact that thousands of men join the regular army
because they have no regular occupation, no settled
habits, and little education. The records disclose
more enlistments from cities than from villages and
country places, also more enlistments from wet towns
than from dry ones.
The reason is plain. In wet towns more boys are
taken out of school than dry towns; in wet towns
more boys go without education, without trade train
ing and without settled habits than in dry towns.
Where liquor is banished there the boys grow up to
enter trades, professions and businesses. There are
fewer of them coming to manhood unlearned, inlet
tered and untitled for service.
