the internal foe, striking once more
at the vitals of the nation. ..-
Nevertheless, the singular delusion
fingered that if the king, surrounded
with every luxury and provided with
every diversion, could get along with
out beer, the workingman, il-fed, ILL
nourished, leading a monotonous life
in squalid surrounding, could easily
be satisfied with more tea.
AS matter of fact, while the agi-
tation neither increased the supply of
munitions nor visibly daunted the
Rum Fiend, it helped the government
otherwise, for it served as a "feeIer"
toward the naturalization of the
great and powerful brewery business,
which the government has up its
sleeve.
This marked one stage in the mar
velous transformation that, almost
unremarked elsewhere, has been go
ing on here ever since the war began.
The government is assuming new
and startling functions and new and
startling relations to the citizenship.
1t is taking over enterprise after
enterprise, always hitherto in private
hands.
1t has done this and is doing it be-
cause of the exigencies created by the
war.
Therefore it has disproved and re-
pudiated the theory so common
among us that private enterprise can
also do anything much better than
the government can do it.
In the stress of war the govern
ment, driven by an memorable neces-
sity, must have the best of every
thing, the best of service, materials,
products. To get the best the gov
eminent is taking the work out of
private hands and doing that work
itself
Railroads, for instance. The first
act of the government after it de-

To Ny Friends IN Lafayette County.

While / have been away from

have been rumors, tales. reports
and all sorts of things being scat
tered over this county with view
Of pTejuoicing the minds OF the
voters against me.
New, have made an honorable
campaign. ! am going to win and
will win by a very large majority.
The honest men of this county
know my private. professional and
political life; they know that have
some very dangerous enemies
men that scruple at nothing: they
have tried to ruin me time after
time; there seems nothing too
ugly for them to try to 90. In my
absence they are again at work.
! ask every fairminded man to give
me q square deal. Locate the
root OF these reports. If you will
do that you win find every one oil
them eliminates from my old polit-
ieal, personal and professional enc
mics. And let me say that when
ever you hear of ANY report
against me that is directed to hur;
me. let me advise you now, there
is not one word Of truth in any
SUCH There is q motive behind
these reports; they are the coinage
Of the brain Of my enemIes-as de-
termined desperate and unscrupul-
Gus set Of men as ever trod the
soil of this county They always
get behind closed doors, or wait
Until ! am gone and then send forth
these filthy lies to ruin and destroy
me. Take care of me. my friends,
