The Democratic state Of Virginia
went prohibition with a good major
ity last week. Why not Minnesota?
The people are ready to vote, but are
denied the privilege by politicians
masquerading around as friends of the
people. The liquor interests are on
the retreat step by step. Pretty soon
the far-sighted ones will prefer coun-
ty option to what is coming to them.
County option was a compromise idea
which looked good years ago to strug-
Cling temperance advocates over
whelmed by superior numbers. Today
the dry" forces have gained such
momentum that they will demand an
unconditional surrender" as soon
as the knockout blow has been de-
livered.

and last December l remembered
woman who had been good to Us
when we we're in trouble three or
four years ago, so l wrote and told
her our circumstances and asked if
she could let us have a Christmas
basket
she sent $25 to one of the investi-
gators of the United Charities to be
given to us, and while Miss Doyle
was with the United Charities she
bought US SIS worth of groceries
three times out OF this $25, and once
she gave me 1925 of the money.
Then she left the United Chart
ties and she told me they made her
turn the balance Of the money over
to them, which was $6.75.
81 had received a five-day notice
from the landlord, so l wrote to the
United Charities and asked them if
they would send this $6.75 left of the
money the lady in question had given
them to my landlord.
There was no answer to my let
ter, but one day a new investigator
called, looked around, asked some |
questions, and said the $6.75 would |
be sent us.

"Then the United Charities never
really gave you one cent of assist
ance. They simply handled the $25
given you by another woman"
''That is ALL" Mrs. Rose answered,
-"but1 do not want charity. If George
could only get work now l am sure
we would get along all right, because
l work as many days as can"
And then the oldest boy came
home for his supper, so / reluctantly
went away.
But somehow all the way home
forgot to think about the contempti-
BILE manner in which the United Char
tiles held on to money that did not
belong to them while woman went
out and worked and worried over I'M
paid rent and children were going
hungry, and l just thought of-the
happy laughter, and the bright faces,
and the love of them all-and
smiled.
