Licking the ALLIES In
tho War
The following letter is clipped
from the Fargo Courier-News and
explains itself:
Wahpeton, N. D., Feb. 2i, 1915
Fargo Daily Courier-News:
Dear Sirs: The last time your
Agent has been here / told him to
stop paper on the 18th this
month. That's because l wanted
to leave for several months and
will not be home, still you keep
send paper, and want you to, stop
it, as will stop all other papers.
/ don't want to get dry goods
box for to keep the mail until I
come back, and when l am in CAL
ifornia l do not care a dam for
the Prohiption state of North Da-
kota, and when come back I will
take along wine enough to do me
for the next 25 years. You have
been writing so much about the
Prohiption, withiut to do the right
thing, myself has been drinking
wine, beer, whiskey, as a boy and
so has my five brothers and neith-
er of us is a drunkard, and we
are all we'll off, better than som
.Prohiption, without to do the right
but the woman spends the money
in her clubs and churches and
their not able to meet their debts.
You had better to study the old
country Lisens Law, and all
drunken row and trubel would
stop, but as long as the News Pa
pers is running by Kapitalist,
Government employs to help to
keep the pappers down, to tell the
public the truth, as long as the
People tool for the voters on
Election, of som Sukers. will just
take your time a little and gieve
you the Laws soi the foreign
Country. What makes our whis-
key SO bad and q man who drinks
it grail. In the old country the
whiskey manufactured must be
sold as it comes from Distillery,
branded as follows. APPLE, Pears.
Cherry, Plums, Crab and Potato
Whiskey. That whiskey cannot
bee adultered and mixed, as soon
as it comes from the distillery it
is tested, examined by Govern
ment Officer, and so it comes di-
reckt to the Market, then SUDDENLY
without warning, the Government
Offiser under his bonds (not like
here, to gieve a tip) apears by the
Dealers, and-if he finds a barrel
of whiskey mixed, or wine, or
beer, it will be rolled on the street
and the bottom knock in and let
it run in the cutters. (If Gov
ernment Offiser has to come to
Moorhead and Examine all the
Whiskey, the river would have a
different color.) That Whiskey is
mild, don't make nobody sick or
grazi, and is healthy. Look at all
the old country People coming
over here, do you think the Ger
mans would lick the He'll out of
the English, Franz and Ruso, iff
it wouldn't be for the Healthful
food and drink they get? The Sa-
Ion lisens there is fixed so that a
salon keeper can make lifing
without gambling, bad Houses and
so on. The man must have a good
character and be Home Man.
The Parsons in the old country
will go to the salon take his glass
Of f7beer and wine and get in con-
versashen with the People, that's
the reason we Germans like to go
to church and respect for the
Parson.
What you do here in them
churches where you hear no
preaching as just listen that a
man is a criminal, who drinks q
glass of beer? Il never go to
church and never will).
What makes the whiskey bad in
this country also the bad running
saloons, to lisens bad Bar Tend
ers, without characters who will
gieve q Man a drink when he is
already overloaded. The whiskey
here comes from the Distelery to
the Government Ware Houses,
there it is tested by our Govern
ment and then, let er go, that's the
last the Government, takes care
Of it. OF course in Washington
they drink the good Kentucky and
Tennessee Mponshein Whiskey,
and they don't care what we drink
in North Dakota. From the Gov
ernment warehouse the Whiskey
or Alkohol goes to the Compound
ing Facktory. Out Of one Barrel
Of Alkohol they making one dozen
different Brand Of Whiskey (My-
self has been making in one)
There gets mixed with Red Pep
per, tobacco roots, Herb, rosted
Zucker to make color. The one
room looks like drug store and
& asssoon as our Government would
