PROBITION DOES NOT APPEAL VERY
STRONGLY TO MILITANT MOTHER JONES

Whatever significance the prohibi-
ton movement may have for the rest
Of the population of the United
States, one thing seems certain, and
that is, that it is not an issue in
which the workers are much con-
cerned. This is the declaration OF
Mother Jones, the gray-haired and
fiery champion of the laborers, who
came to New York after attending
the convention Of miners at Indian
apolis.
prohibition is not an issue for the
workers" said Mother Jones to the
group of working men which gath
cred to bid her welcome. The subject
was brought to the fore when the dis
cussion of conditions in the Colorado
mines came up in connection with
the recent visit Of John D. Rookie
Teller Jr.
"And how about the new prohibit
ton laws?' asked one of those pres
ent. How are the boys getting on
without their can Of suds?" Mother
Jones chuckled. Those present did
not need a. better answer to their
query. It was evident from her laugh
ter that, as far as the miners were
concerned, prohibition did not pro-
hibit.
''The coal operators" declared
Mother Jones, "are against the sa-
looms, not because they believe in
prohibition or because the. have the
welfare Of the miners at heart, but
simply because they have discovered
better sources of revenue than that
which they got from their saloons.
Besides, the saloons were places
where Jim and Mike could gather al
ways and freely discuss their griev-
ances and formulate plans for action.
That is one Of the reasons, and a very
good one, why the operators are for
prohibition and against the saloon.
There was many a time when we
could not obtain hall to hold meet
ings and the back room of a saloon
served our purpose"
"And what about the recreation
halls established by the operators for
the miners?" she was asked. With a
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-03-18

quick motion Of her hand she waved
the subject aside.
"Our boys" she said, twill never
feel at home in halls built for them
by their masters. They want places
OF their own, be it a. saloon or any
other place. You know without my
telling you that Jim and Mike cannot
discuss their affairs under the watch
full eyes OF the operators. And their
halls will only be places where their
thoughts will be imprisoned. Mind
what say! I do not think that the
saloon is a good thing for the boys
or that 1t Is the best Of gathering
places Tor them, but I must admit
that its doors always swing open to
them and bid them welcome when all
other doors are closed. So far, moth
ing has been established which could
take it's place and where a working
man with the sweat of toll upon his
hands could feel at home. The saloon
Is the only place where he could 20
| and feel that he is wanted.'
And what about prohibition" she
was asked. p
"Prohibition," she seneered. 1T is
all good and we'll for those rich fel-
lows to deprive the poor man of his
can of suds when they can safely OBJ
tain bottles of wine and have their
nice, comfortable clubs to go to. At
any rate, prohibition is not an issue
for the workers.. We have greater
dreams and. plans for the future than
that Of prohibition. We have learned
long ago that it does not prohibit.
The miners in Colorado get all the
booze they want. All they have to
do is to go to the border Of New Mex
leo. They bring it in by the trunkful.
And the authorities know and are
wise enough not to say anything
about it.
what right have they, anyway, to
tell us what to do and what not to
do? The working men have brains
enough to build railroads, operate
mines, erect buildings and create
most of the worlds wealth, and I
trust that they have enough brains to
know when to stop drinking. They
do not want a lot of rich idlers and
sanctim onious politicians to instruct
them how to live.
II have just come from a conven-
ton of Miners continued Mother
Jones with renewed fervor, (which
was attended by 1900 miners. The
convention lasted a whole week and
during: that week you could not find
single member or delegate who was
drunk. bet you anything that; you
could not find such a spirit of sobri-
ETY. at convention of Democrats, Re-
publicans or: any other organization,
And yet they are trying to tell the
workers when to drink and when not
to. We working people are not in
| terested in the booze question. It is
not an issue which concerns us or af-
fects us in any particular way. We
have greater problems to solve, and
when they are settled prohibition
won't be an issue any longer.
In conclusion" Mother Jones de-
clared that the question of drink is
being utilized by the powers of today
to over-shadow the many important
problems which~are confronting u.s.
They blame poverty of the workers
| on drink. They blame their degraded
| condition on drink. It is a subject
which covers a multitude of sins per-
mitted by the capitalists and they use
it as it suits the occasion.

FRIENDSHIP THAT is REAL
Distance Has but Small Part in Sever
ing Ties Bound Together by
True Affection.

We often hear of cases-more often
between men, but sometimes between
women-where school friends separate
and marry, living their lives apart for
ten or fifteen years, only to find the
old relation just as firm as ever on
meeting again. Or In certain instances
friends separate, never to meet again,
but keep up their correspondence for
years, and the one in far city would
do just as much for the distant chum,
were the occasion to arise, as If their
friendship had recently been close and
intimate.
Friendship knows no space and no
bounds. 1t is an indissoluble link be-
tween two human beings. And If you
expect to enjoy the affection of real
pal you must be prepared to do your
share. Do not be forever demanding
and expecting from your friends. You
can only keep alive the pure flame Of
friendship by giving unselfish love and
disinterested affection Do not look
for them. but give from your heart,
and you will receive. That is one of
the beauties OF friendship. The more
love you give. the more you receive.
But the more you demand and expect.
the less you get.
Good pals are more precious than
diamonds or gold, for they are the
rarest of all valuables. Friendship is
the salt OF the earth and those who
know the Joy of real friendship should
do all In their power to guard and
keep it, not to destroy 1t.
How often we risk losing the affec-
tion of real friends for some worthless
acquaintance! So often we offer In
suits and snubs sometimes uncon-
sciously) to those who weigh more in
friendships scales than thousand OF
the aimless datterers who would try
to make US believe they are friends.
Let us learn to know our real friends
and to give a heartfelt appreciation
for the value of such friendship.
