PEOPLE TO BE TRUSTED.
The reason why governments have
not done and are not doing their duty
toward the suppression Of alcohol Is,
in the last analysis. says Congressman
Hobsor, based on the absence Of pub
lie opinion on the part Of the masses
IS to the true nature Of alcohol and
the appalling results that come from
its USE" And DR.. T. D. Crothers, the
noted expert on alcoholism, declares
that IF the actual effects Of alcohol
were known by the people. prohibiting
its use would follow as q natural and
reasonable demand" To bring to the
people knowledge concerning the ma
ture Of alcohol and its effects upon the
individual. the family, the state, Is the
purpose Of the organized campaign Of
education now being carried on
throughout the land from remote coun.
tryside to halls Of congress. Given
the facts, the intelligent people OF
this nation will soon settle the liquor
question and settle It right. Bring the

and a lawyer was after him in the
most approved style to cast discredit
on his testimony. After apparently
frightening the Indian with the awful
consequences which would follow the
slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
Now, sir, / want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me 'how you get

The Indian looked straight at the
lawyer and, with that grave air ia.
