THE MILD LIQUOR FICTION.
(Muscatine Journal)

M uScallne
Mr.. John Mahin. former editor Of the
Journal, gives his opinion as follows
in the Chicago Tribune:
Chicago, June 24.-Editor Of the
Tribune: In an editorial you say:
The restriction OF the sale Of intoxi-
cants to light wines and beer would
be an interesting experiment" This
experiment was made In England un-
der Lord wellington. who earnestly
advocated the beer act OF 1880, claim
ing that in securing it he would con-
fer greater benefit on his people than
by any OF his military achievements.
But only few weeks after its passage
Sidney Smith. in his graphic style,
said: THE new beer bill has begun it's
operations Everybody is drunk" In
1853 the English parliament adopted a
-ennr. declaring the beer shop sys-
tenn has proved a failure" The Lon
don Globe said of this act: The in
jury done by it has been proved by
witnesses of every class of society to
have exceeded the evils Of any single
act of internal administration passed
within the memory of man."
In 1870 Massachusetts altered its
prohibitory law to allow sale Of malt
liquors. The police commissioners Of
the state subsequently made report
that the ale and beer law is a veil
that covers much that is vile. Under
its protection every vile compound that
ever poisoned the human system may
be sold almost with impunity.'
The experiment you suggest had a
fair trial under my personal observa-
ton in Iowa, when the prohibitory law
of 1856 was amended in 1858 by per-
hitting the sale of ale, wine, and beer,
under the plea that Is now made for
them. AS result, the so-called beer
saloons, with very few exceptions. sold
all manner Of liquors and 1t was al
most impossible to secure convictions
for Illegal sales.
Thus the proposed experiment" has
passed into the realm of an exploded
fallacy. John Mahin. 394S Pine Grove

THE TRUE DESIGN.

The DeS Moines Register and Leader
quotes from a poem by an Iowa mar
the excerpt given below and concludes
that it is poetry and worthy of q
place in any anthology of English
literature:
I will arise:
will go UP into the lofty places
Apart from all mans works, and there
commune
With God and mine own soul. l will
search out
BY lonely thought some meaning or
accord
Or radiant sanction that may justify
The ways of life. The void and trou-
bled world
VIII | renounce, to gain in solitude
What the world gave not-sense OF
life's design
Poetry. yes and literature, but lack
ing in the newer and better philosophy
and the surest humanity. Its philoso-
ply is individualistic. 1t narroWs to
the relationship between the individual
and the design he seeks.
Let US go down, not up to the lofty
heights, but on the plane of common
humanity seeking the sense of life's
design. For He who knew best the de-
sign and purpose of life sought it
among the lowly and found it with the
fishermen of Galilee. and taught it
from the house of a carpenter. Life is
best lived in the crowd and amid the
ferment There the design is Weaved
in the varied colors of existence. For
abides not in a hermitage but -four
ishes among men. Lies surest ex-
cuse and Justification is service. The
humblest hands turn that lifts the
world along the grooves of progress is
moro than all the spiritual frances Of
all the yogis.
Men live poetry. Poetry is truth
dressed in ethereal beauty The finest
poetry Is written in the commonplace
of life. The struggle which sends the
children to school and the, sacrifices
that make the next generation better
than the last are beautiful truths, finer
spiritualism than the visions that come
to anchorites in their cells Service is
the finest poetry because it is beautiful
and true. 1t is the pattern and design
Of life and Is lived among common
people in common places. not in the
solitudes
The finest conception Of life. OF
poetry, of religion, politics, all that
combines to create and maintain life,
is service 1t Is the Christ model OF
life, the whole design, the doing unto
others" and to the least of these My
brethren"

STAY INSIDE.

Forest City is laying thirty lone
blocks of paving. The community Is
prosperous and able to pave thirty lone
blocks or twice that, but the Winne-
bago Republican finds it advisable to
publish the fact that the supply of
labor is fully sufficient to the UNDER
taking, to warn men seeking employ
ment that the public work offers no
further opportunity for labor and ad-
vises them to seek work elsewhere
The Forest City warning is similar
to that sent out from other towns
where public work is in progress or
contemplated. The demand is not for
common labor 1t is in over supply.
There is a demand for skilled men in
the building trades but jobs at ordi-
nary labor, roust bout jobs in factories
and the like seem to be fully occupied
Two thoughts force themselves in
this connection. If you have a job,
keep it. The chances are for sorrow
and regret If you do not. The country
is overrun with the overflow from the
Chicago industrial war, with men from
less favored sections than Iowa who
are seeking work. Hang on to yours.
A steady job is an anchor against
disaster
The other thing: the roustabout
never gets anywhere. Impress that on
the boy who is getting ready to earn
his own living. Tell him about it.
Show him the unskilled worker and his
condition at forty. He ought to know
Scare him with it. Teach him that he
will be paid for what he knows, for his
falthfulness and his dexterity of mind
and hand; that anybody can cut ice at
20 cents an hour and that ice cutting
doesn't last more than ten days; that
any strong and willing human can
wheel Stag in a barrow and that the
supply of strong and willing whose
knowledge and dexterty are measured
by wheel barrow is away beyond the
demand: that he goes into competition
with strength and ignorance when he
depends on an ice saw and a wheel
barrow; that the man who knows one
thing thoroughly and does it we'll has
a monopoly; that the mob is warned
away and that they meet skill and
competence at the city limits with
brass band. Tell him about it.
In the meantime stick to the job.
Then the warnings sent out will not
apply. You'll be inside doing the send
ing away, with credit at the grocery
store.

INTRODUCES MIR. JOHNSON.


The Republican is pleased to pre-
'sent the name Of William Philander
Johnson of this county for governor.
Billy, as the boys all know him and
love to call him, is Of sturdy ancestry.
He owns several hundred acres of fine
land, breeds Shorthorn cattle and 10
student of affairs. On that subject OF
which the dear people are SO deeply
interested he is sound to the core. He
was dry born and born dry. He has
never tasted Intoxicating liquors in his
life He never drinks tea or coffee or
uses tobacco in any form. This ought
to make him solid with the drys.
On the other hand he has never been
fanatical. He always accords to others
the privilege of exercising individual
liberty within certain limits. The only
time he has ever got in bad with the
boys was when he objected to fish
ing party camping on his pasture and
leaving the bottles scattered around
The first time they did this he said
nothing, but when a fine colt got .
piece Of glass in it's foot and was per-
manently crippled, Mr.. Johnson said
that was too much. The year before
they left the bottles in his meadow, he
broke a moving machine which was
not strongly enough built to grind the
quart bottles.
This spirit OF liberation ought to be
as much as the vets could expect
under the present conditions.
Do you think that Cosson would pass
| it mildly by and have bottles scattered
around in his meadows and have his
mower busted with quart beer bottles?
Would Joe Allen permit fishing
party to occupy his premises on Sunday
and only kick when he lost q fine
horse?
Would Harding, wringing wet as
Senator Francis is said to have called
him stand for such treatment? Hard
ing may be willing to let others be wet.
but his pastures and his meadows are
| sacred.

to conjure with. Was not the most
