A LIQUOR EXHIBIT.
 Neither the liquor industry nor its partner, the government, nor the peo- pie, who by their votes support and protect the traffic. ever ask for space in which to exploit its products at state or national or international ex positions. The saloon has no window display of its workmanship and no inspection of its processes is invited On the contrary, wherever permitted it puts up screens in an endeavor to hide It's work and the manner of 1t from the public eye
 Apropos of this point Is the follow ing story told of the noted reformer. John B. Cough:
 AS MT. Cough hastened along the street of a great English city he found drunken man lying on the sidewalk outside a saloon door. Go- ing across the street he obtained piece of paper and with colored pen cil wrote on 1t the words, "SPECI- MEN of the work done inside" He '''N'- P'AAAA'd NAlC ibb'l tO tllt III ulihN' mans coat and stood aside to watch the effect produced ca the passersby.
 The attention of the saloon keeper was attracted by the crowd which soon gathered, and when he observed the cause of the interest. he Hngrily asked: Who did it." Which," asked MT. Cough. If you mean what is on the paper, did that If you meaI the man, you did that This morning when he started for his work, he was sober man; when he went into your saloon, he was 6 sober man; when he came out he was like that and he is what you made him. If he is not specimen of the work done inside, what is he?"
