The liquor men are an inconsistent
crowd. In New York they have de
clared against Governor Whitman, not
because he declared for prohibition, for
he didn t, but because he said he be-
heves that the people of the various
localities have the right to settle the
lquor question for themselves, by their
own vote, and that he will sign such a
bill if the peoples Representatives in
the legislature pass it up to him. If
Governor Whitman had declared against
the saloon and for prohibition the liquor
interests might be expected to fight
him, but the liquor traffic has disclosed
its right nature in attacking the Amer
lean ideal of self government in order
to avoid standing on its merits before
the people. Although he merely de
clared for the extension to the cities of
the right of the local vote accorded to
towns and rural districts by the present
excise law which the liquor men them
selves praise so highly, yet the word is

The Reformer has more than once de-
clared that the country and state were
suffering from too much legislation, and
it is not without distinguished company
in this conviction. Many legislators.
without any particular reform in mind
feel that they must do something to
show their constituents back home. that
they are making record. The result
is mass of useless and at times con.
tlicting statutes. What we need is fewer
laws and better enforcement of those
we already have. A few days ago in an
address III New York United States SEN
atOr Weeks of Massachusetts said that
far too much legislation is being enact
ed by congress and the state legisla-
lures He asserted that more than To-
600 laws have been placed on the statute
books in the last ten years, "manv of
which make little difference one wav or
another, while some are distinctly bad. ,,
Senator Weeks believes this to be \ had
thing, as must every man who stops to
consider the subject. Fewer laws and
more rigid enforcement would be a
blessing to the country, but how the
change can be brought about is not eosv
to tell.

THE STOCK DIVIDEND
By Howard Liam


The stock dividend is something
which occurs when there is no other
place to put the money.
The object of the stock dividend is
to provide genteel board and automo-
biles with red wheels for citizens who
got in on the ground floor. BY the simple
process of taking a little foresight and
wrapping it around a 800 bill, thou
sands of people have been enabled to
retire from business and live off of
semi annual stock dividends which have
escaped the sinking fund. This is why
we see so many people who couldn t
keep books in shooting gallery living
IN the lap of luxury and wearing
thread-silk union suits.
The automobile industry produces a
very swollen form of stock dividend
but it is not distributed among the com
mon people to any alarming extent.
When Henry Ford started out in bust
ness the neighbors would not call on
his wife or take any of his stock, rs
he was considered about 80 per cent

"We're So Glad You've Come"

non compos mentis. This forced Henry
to take most of it himself, with the re
suit that his yearly dividends make the
output of the South African diamond
fields look like the earnings of an ice
cream social. This teaches us that there
are times when it pays a man to 90
plumb crazy.
While fortunes are being made in
stock dividends, it does not pay to
mortgage everything in sight unless
the dividend can be seen approaching
with the naked eye. 1t is a great disap-
pointment to sink the earnings of a
lifetime and the surplus capital of soft
hearted relatives in a new kind of
stock which fails to survive the teeth
ing period. The glittering stock Ger
titicate is nice to look at, butt it does
not always put coal in the cellar and
flour in the bin.
The stock dividend which breaks out
in song twice a year is priceless boon
but it is a poor substitute for good
health and a free-aeting stomach.

In these ringing words George Har-
Vey, the able editor of The North
American Review and one of the strong
est writers III America, closes an edi-
torlal advocating the election of Mr.
hughes as president of the United
States. Editor Harvey is the man who
made Woodrow Wilson president and
TINS complete reversal of position bv a
man Of such power and acknowledged
ability challenges the attention of all
America. ''Why?' will be upon the
lips of every thoughtful man. We wish
space would permit us to reproduce Mr.,
Harvey's answer ON this great question.
1t IS the strongest political article if
has been our privilege to read in recent
years. Summarized his answer is:
The Republican party is the better
equipped and more likely to render the
highest public service.
Under the administration of Josephus
Daniels the navy will never be proper
ly enlarged, the officers of the navy
would be subjected to gross injustice
through favoritism and "A vote for
! Wilson is a vote for Daniels.''
That the federalizing of the mill
tia by the Democratic party has
proved abortive, that the huge sums
already voted for the increase of the
national army would be sacrificed in
fruitless effort and the cause of "True
Preparedness betrayed by the Demo
cratic party. That the Republicans can
utilize the resources in hand to the
greatest advantage of the country.
That the Republican policy of pro-
lection IS the only policy that will pro
! tect American manufacturers and
American workingmen in the great in
dustrlal conflict sure to follow the close
of the European war.
That Mr.. Hughes would never have
surrendered the principles of arbitra-
tlon and fair legislation to the repre-.
scntatives of the four railroad brother
hoods for the purpose of making votes
for himself
That the supreme court of this land,
the ''great tribunal which "has held
the full faith of the people as the bull
wark of their liberties under the law
would not be safe in the hands of
| Woodrow Wilson,
That in Europe President Wilson is
the one most mistrusted and CON
demned of men, whose tender of aid in
the name OF justice, fairness and hui
manly would be rejected unanimously
with derlsion and scorn. -
That Mr.. Hughes stands for America
first while Mr.. Wilson stands for
Wilson first.
Mr.. Harvey has spoken as no other
American could and his mastery appeal
should not be rejected by the American
people.
