NORTH LoUP. Neb., April M.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: II we arc to Judge
from the bills being enacted into law by
some Of the various legislative bodies of
the states with respect TO alcoholic bev-
erages. we may safely assume that the
temperance issue is becoming one of
the prominent subjects Of economic i'm
portance in the nation. The temperance
subject was originally a sentimental
issue, but more recently the subject be-
comes economic. There are a great num-
Der Of events in American politics which
are carefully hidden away from the pub
lilo view Many of us take certain posi-
lions on public issues because we have
limited knowledge Of facts respecting
those issues. Whereas. IL the facts
respecting the issue were clearly before
us. we might possibly reverse our opin-
ions.
There are a great number OF temper
ance people who. at times, wonder why
many of the best citizenship of the state
and nation pay little attention to the
temperance issue. There Is a very pro-
nounced reason for IT,
Here in Nebraska In recent years the
people who have handled the temperance
issue have unquestionably been in secret
conclave to nominate for public office a
class OF men who are distinguished and
identified as belonging to associated cor
porate wealth. That class of men Is
extremely detested by the best citizensip
because OF their association In the pow
erful Hobbies of Wall street financierinE.
A fair precedent of the character of their
work may just at this time be seen in
raising railway rates. We saw a fair
expression Of IL in the Nebraska primary
election OF 1914, when the temperance
management were tied TO Wall street
financiering. 1t also carried woman suf-
frage to defeat. The whole temperance
movement Is so bound. hand and foot.
This Is why i have supported Senator
cummins for the presidency Temper
anoe people should learn one thing: II
You must support men for office who
are IN the employ OF the high finance
Hobbies, the best citizenship are against
you. When you fail to support their
Hobbies, they will oppose YOU and hence
their support is for the service you car
render In elections. If you associate witt
hades. why argue temperance? Hades q

Guawoona country was at the end of a
considerable chain of lagoons, and

my men entering their territory, al

trolling these resolute natives or
