AIDING THE DEVIE

Under the above caption editor Fred

who,wi many others i'm the state re-
ceived a copy Of the publication re-
ferred TO. says:
We are in receipt Of a copy Of the
July number of "The Inside Ameri-
car" a newspaper published i'm the
Interests OF the liquor traffic by Sheri-
dan Ford of Detroit i'm which we note
a number of very strong appeals for
personal liberty. Mr. Ford is one of
the hired agents Of the liquor interests
who seek by the use of printers ink
TO put a smooth finish on the business
which derives it's greatest success from
the greatest number of ruined lives
ruined homes and ruined regulations
The appeal for personal liberty is
strong one and of course Will appeal
TO all those who have become victims
of the flowing bowl II is an appeal
for the continuance OF the business
which only recently cost a human life
in a Highland Park saloon and which
is daily adding its quota of unfortun-
ates 10 the mad houses and prisons of
our country We do not favor a per-
sonal liberty of this kind; the kind
which allows a whiskey soaked fellow
man, 10 beat the brains out of his wife
and children or TO fill a persons body
with slugs of lead.
THE liquor business has been for
years, and still remains, the greatest
blot on our national escutcheon. All
men of higher thought and nobler
ideas are fighting this devil with a
determination of destroying ii and God
will soon speed the day when its
blighting influence will be forever
banished from our midst. Like Great
Britain and Russia our country will in
time follow the example set by them
and Danish it forever. If the use of
liquor makes the soldiers Of our coun-
try who are drilled to stand hardships
worthless in times of war how much
quicker will its use destroy the men
tally and body of our citizens who are
not Injured to hardships that may en-
compass them. Editor Ford says
there is but one side to any question
and that is the inside and we are sure
that large number Of our people
have seen enough of the inside of the
liquor question TO wish 10 see the end
OF it,

Already the lines are being mapped
out for the coming national political
campaign.
William +. McCombs, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
has received from Dallas, Texas, an
offer of 100000 as a cash contribu-
ton to the National Committee should
the 1916 convention be held in that
city.
Dallas also pledged a coliseum seat
ing $4,000 persons and adequate hotel
accommodations.
There is one consolation for the
democrats in the thought that William
Jennings Bryan will not cut so much
figure in the 1916 convention as he
did four years ago. Bryan and Roose-
welt both have been eliminated from
the political arena.
