DOCTOR GIVES FIRST AID TO

Quoting the ST. Louis Post.Dis-

A Columbia Is. CO. doctor Is said
to have issued $500 whisky pre-

the past year.
In this connection we recall the
stump speech Of Kentucky
Colonel on behalf of the vets, on
the subject of prohibition.

private citizens. Bless my soul.
here In your town you hear more
temperance and see less of it than
anywhere on top O. dirt! Every

AnSaoon Lacquer Believes People Should Be Denied the
Right to Referendum, But st. Louis Paper
Thinks Otherwise

Commenting editorially upon the &C
tivities Of W. c. Shupp, an official OF
the Anti-Saloon League, in seeking to
deny the people Of Missouri the right
to express their opinions upon i'm
portant legislation, the st. Louis Post
Dispatch says:
The Rev. w. C. Shupp, superintend-
ent Of the Anti-Saloon League, in a
letter to the Post-Dispatch, admits
that the league Is asking pledges of
candidates for the governorship and
the state legislature to approve a
statewide prohibition bill, with the
health, peace and safety clause, to pre-
vent submission Of the bill to the peo-
ple.
He justifies the notification of the
referendum on the ground that the mi
tiative and referendum are failures.
He says the people do not vote dis
cr1minately on measures submitted to
them and therefore they should be de-
prived of the power to vote on prohibit
ton.
Speak For the People.
Mr.. Shupp and his associates as
sumo the privilege Of speaking for the
people. They presume to decide when
constitutional measures are failures,
to be set aside, and to determine what
Is best for the people without consult
ing them or asking their consent. The
