No who seeks favors from these factions can

less he is known by them to be their candidate. Dry
Republicans should hold themselves aloof from any
such alignment. They should wait until they find
out to where the support Of the liquor interests is
being directed. These interests going to take
chances this time this administration will settle
this issue.
There is little doubt but that the whole strength
of the saloon interests of the day within the Democra

in his campaign for denomination. They owe it to
him in gratitude for the influence he exerted to defeat
dry legislation in the orty-eghth assembly The dry

Does Prohibition Foster Disrespect for Law?

One of the arguments of the 1iquorites is that
Prohibition fosters dsrespect for law and they give
proof of this assertion the fact that there is boot
Logging in dry territory
This argument is not only untrue, it is insincere
No knows better than the liquor dealers that the
chief of lawlessness is the liquor traffic itself
All official Investigations show that booze and crime
go hand in hand. Those words of Judge Gemmill of
the Municipal Court of Chicago, quoted in an Issue
OF recent date deserve to be bazoned in every court
in the wide world
have observed that every bandit goes forth
to murder starts from saloon; that every panderer has his
rendezvous grogshop that every den of thieves makes
It's victims drunk before rob them that every of
prostitution has its bar partnership with
every gaming den either saloon sustans close
relationship with that the pckpocket trust" housed
IN saloon; that the payo joint for the crook and the
crooked policeman is in saloon that the professional
bondsmen and character witnesses for thieves and hodp
men are saloonkeepers or bartenders
1t is not to be expected that the elimination of
the saloon in any given community will immediately
result in the elimination of awessness Lawessness
like many other evils is contagious, and so long as
these breeding places of crime exist in one commun-
1ty laWless contagion is to spread in greater
or less degree, to neighboring communities
But all reliable testimony shows that Prohibition
as effective against the lawlessness caused by drink
as quarantine is against cholera or smallpox In
short, Prohibition may be regarded as a quarantine
against laWlessness

Captain Jean Janvier laid down his
pen and stared out into the gathering
darkness. 1t was his eight hours of
duty, but, exhausted though he was,
and longing for the repose of his straw
bed in the excavation under the hill,
he was writing a letter home.
1t was odd that he was thinking so
insistently of Philippe, his hayward
brother. The family came from AL
SAGE. After the war of 1870, when
the Germans annexed that province,
they migrated to France, always hop
ing to return when the despoiled ter
ritory had been regained. Philippe
had visited Thanh, where their inter-
ests were, to carry on the extensive
wine business. But, after bitter
quarrel, he had cut himself adrift;
for some years nobody knew what had
become of him.
Cal&ain sanvier felt very tenderly
toward the brother whom he had not
seen for SO long. His own life had
gone hardly. The girl to whom he had
become engaged, Celeste Paquin, had
broken off a few months earlier, &C
knowledging that she loved another.
Captain Janvier had gone to war in
spirit of citation; having nothing
more to live for, he hoped to give his
life for his country.
He started; he had almost fallen
asleep. The sentries in the trenches
were exchanging fitful rifle shots with
the enemies. Some instinct, which he
could not analyze, impelled the cap
tain to make the tour Of the lines
once more. 1t was now dark and one
could walk behind the trenches, where
the reserves were posted, under can
vas or in farm houses, without fear
