They're Growing Desperate

The brewers of America would have you think
they're at all apprehensive of the movements to-
ward Prohibition Don't let them deceive you. They
the handwriting the wall and are facing
business death.
Of course, they will not give TIP the battle, but,
like that have been cornered and know the strug
gle is hopeless will fight fercey than ever be-
lore. Bribery, intimidation lying political intri gue,
the boycott-all these, all these and probably even
harsher they will in order to foresta abso-
lutte defeat.
Prohibition is in the air; it is coming, perhaps
than its most sangune supporters dare to hope
perhaps longer delayed than most of us could wish
But it's signs every hand.
There is one phase of the situation which indi-
Gates the depths of oWess and corruption to which
the liquor will go. They need money with which
to finance their defense. They will get that money
by hook crook. Every person whom they can
compel will contribute to their unholy fund AS an
example, at least one brewery the American Brewing
Company, at New Orleans is holding back, from each
check it pays, I per cent discount, which discount
money it in protecting itself against Prohibition
Of course, it explains in its letters containing
mttances, if the creditor will not stand for the dis
count that amount will be paid but the tone Of the
letter indicates that the brewery expects right
that it will not have to pay the amount deducted

Hops and Pork in Oregon

Hops and Pork in Oregon
Louis Epstein advocate of the Prohibition of
eating pork, has been imported by the liquor to
conduct the campaign in Oregon against Prohibition of
peddling whisky.
Louis that the people raised hops, and so he
fastened to organize the Oregon Hop Growers As
sociaton' and got out scads of literature explaining
how Prohibition would put the kibosh the hop in
dustry destroy the farmers market for wheat and barley
and all that.
Now the anti-pork up against some facts:
Official statistics show that less than per cent of
the hops raised in the state consumed in the state
the crop, almost entirely is marketed in England.
Then it developed that there is not grain dis
tlery in the state and drop of whisky made in the
state The money spent for the wholesale purchase of
whisky is all sent outside of the state.
Then it developed that than three-fourhs of
the beer consumed the is brewed by eastern
porations.
Louis Epstein is getting out new kind of
literature showing that people still get drunk in certain
eastern villages that have dry law (but next to which
there is wet district)
Some time somebody will get back at Louis by
ganizng the Oregon Pork Growers Protective Asso-
cation and raise the cry that Prohibition of pork will
bust up an established Oregon industry.
There is no room in the economy of civilization
for the man on the fence. All men, of course, have
right to honest doubt, and should never make up
their minds without due consideration and prayerful
study. But the who has mind on the
moral issues that UP for settlement is to be
pitied and despsed. Opportunities for acquiring cor
rect information are limtess, and every with an
ounce of red blood in his veins will be found

honest and be neutral in any wherein morals or
betterment are involved et vouf attitude on all
questions be known and you will compel respect.
