where the sun came peeping in at
morn. You'd hardly know the place
now, for Dad is p-to-date and the
farm is scientific, from the back lot to
the gate. The house and barn are
lighted with bright acetyline, the en-

we have silos, we have autos, we have
dynamos and things, telephone for
gossip and phonograph that sings.
The hired man has left us-we miss
his homely face-a lot of college
graduates are working In his splace.
There's an engineer and fireman, a
chauffeur and vet, Electrician and
mechanic. Oh, the farms run right,
you bet. The little window where the
sun came peeping in at morn now
brightens up bath room that cost
Dad a car of corn. Our milkmaid is
pneumatic and she's sanitary, too,
but Dad gets fifteen cents quart for

IRONTON MO, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1915 NUMBER S
Prohibition and Tobacco.

The following quotation is taken
from the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sun
day, April 4th.
"By the narrow margin of . vote
the esteemed House of Representa-
tives this week failed to make a new
crime of which schoolteachers alone
could be guilty-that of smoking
cigarettes. 1t was proposed to punish
by dismissal from service any peda-
gogue who burned his weed in paper
rather than tobacco wrapper. 1t
didn't make any difference where he
smoked them; at least the bill didn't
say anything about location He could
chew plug or scrap like a grasshop-
per. He could also smoke pipe that
would kill all the flies in the room and
asphyxiate the canary bird or he could
puff shooting gallery "La Rosa de
Skunkerino" Nothing could be done
to him. But let him f1t cigarette in
to his face and blooey! In the de-
bate there we're lot of old time tenn
perance speeches worked off, the
orators eluded alcohol and substitute
ing tobacco as the agent for the de-
struction of Christianity and morals
and painting dark pictures of the
youth of America being lured to their
doom by these hideous inventions of
the devil. Hon. w. s. Hoy, of jack
son, the prominent non-fee- splitting
surgeon gave graphic description of
the interior of some men he had dis
sected after they had died of smoking
the things. He left his hearers in
tears and went over to the Senate to
balleyboo on bill. During his abb
sence the roll was rolled and the
cigarette measure failed because he
wasn't there to vote for it. 1t is to be
remembered, though, that 81 members
of the House believe that man can
not SNAKE tobacco in paper wrappers
and remain moral. Quite q number
of them already believe that play ing
fifteen-ball pool is indicative of a
criminal disposition and others hold
stoutly to the opinion that no man
can enter the the.kingdom who looks
upon moving pictures on the first day
of the week, commonly called Sun
| day.

of the enjoyable features of the meet
ing.

Forty OF these joined the Woodside
Memorial church last Sunday. There
also were numerous additions to the
other churches Sunday.
Every minister of the city who Is q
member of the Pastors Alliance with
their congregations have worked un-
ceasingly to make the meeting a
success. The cooperation upon part
of the ministers has brought about the
splendid results that have been
achieved.

afternoon for st. Louis to hold q
meeting. Five churches of that city
have engaged the evangelists for q
big revival. After the st. Louis meet

hope to see the Democratic party
take the prohibition side. 1t cannot
ally itself with the liquor interests
without losing its moral standing, and
the moral standing of party is the
thing that gives it permanent
strength.
In other woros, according to Mr..

people. This istypically Bryanesque.
There are in this country thousands of
good people who do not drink, who
do not believe in drinking and who
have no sympathy with the saloon
element, who are vigorously opposed
to prohibition. These men and
women believe in the American idea
Of free speech, freedom of harmless
living, and in personal liberty that
does not infringe the rights OF others.
They are not drunkards or buns.
