cause he was actuated by high mo-
tive, we must conclude that in some
| way the man who lectures in the ser
vice Of the booze crowd or who de-
votes the columns OF his newspaper or
magazine to the furtherance Of the
booze trade, is remur Grated in some
way. even as the bartender or the
drummers from the wholesale liquor
houses are remunerated.
A few days ago we received a copy
of the Waldo County Herald. published
by one Edgar F. Hanson Of Belfast.
1t contains a two and half columns
editorial with Mr.. Hansons likeness
at the head, which starts Off as fol-
lows:
when the readers Of the Herald read
this editorial l will be many miles away
from Belfast. away up at the head Of the
great lakes in the city Of Duluth, Mimi,
engaged in opposing the advocates of pro-
hibition, the hirelings of the AntiSaloon
League, whose pockets are filled from the
contributions that are gathered all over
our great land in the name of temper
Golfers of this great organized gang. OF
what appears to us to be the most sue
| cessful gang Of grafters of which we
know"
Mr. Hanson lergthily boasts of his
service in the interests Of booze, and
he denounces all who work against his
business as "grafters," as this great
organized gang" He says their
pockets are filled from the contribu-
lions that are gathered all over our
great land"
Can Mr. Hanson first explain to us
WHY these contributions from all
ever the land are offered? What spirit
inspires the people who pay for the
services Of those who work to down
the hosts Of vice ard greed that are
led and controlled by the whiskey and
beer interests?
And then lot US ask Mr.. Hanson a
fair question: If those who work for
temperance are paid by contributions
from all over the land, who pays him
for his preaching in the service Of the
devil?
Can Mr.. Edgar F. Hanson Of Bel
fast, afford to give his time and
money. and space in his paper, for the
high purpose Of l,beling the laws Of
his State and Of converting a few,
possibly many. to the moral duty Of
contributing money. brains, health and
honor to the booze trust2
From what source is contributed the
pay Of Edgar F. Hanson and all such
as he in their denunciation Of the peo-
pies laws and the promotion of laws
drawn by the liquor interests?
Here is fair. square question, Mr..
Hanson, and we wish to publish your
answer as we publish this question:
Who pays you for your lecture trips
and your writings against prohibition7

EDITED BY JACK BETHEA
FOOD FOR RANDOM
By FRED BoDEKER

Stark is we'll fortified. in catch CTS. Jack Wallace, the former Bar on, is the first receiver, and al- though he is playing far below his stride, he is probably the best re- ceived in the circuit.
 Jack was injured yesterday in the second inning and consequent 1y the fans will not have another chance to see the plucky catcher in action again in this series. Jack suffered a sprained Iigament in his left leg when he fell over Danny Clark in a chase between third and home. The second catcher, Ruel, is also a first class receiver.
 The Barons are now in the second division, two games below the 800 mark. The Lookouts are in front of the Barons by a narrow margin, while the Pels lead with the Vols second. The Crackers occupy third place and the Lookouts fourth Little Rock is fast advancing from the lower regions and it behooves the Barons to win a few ball games if they don't want to stage fight for the cellar in the near future.
 Dolly Stark doesn't seem to be rattled the least bit over the talk that he Is to be "canned" as pilot of the Chicks. Dolly talked freely about the matter yesterday, but our knowledge on the subject was not benefited by the conference. t11af 1,n IyYa bea lutely nothing about George Nor iarity assuming the command of the Chicks, and further more he not expecting to hear anything along that line.
 "All I know about this talk of removing me is what I have read in the newspapers said Dolly. q have never heard anything from the Memphis club officials in re- gard to the matter, and thing that it's nothing but newspaper talk. I know that none of the southern papers don't know anything about it and consequently since it all came from Chicago I don't give 1t much credit"
 True, the team has been going badly" continued the Chicks pilot, "but it always takes team a little while to get down to play ing good ball. The pitchers have been going bad and that's our main trouble. I think that when the pitchers begin to show their expected form, we will find a berth near the top of the ladder. We're in this league to fight for the pen- nant and watch Us do 1t"
 Fans, go out today and see the Barons even the series up with a win over that bunch from Memphis. Watch our smoke.

 Anniston scored in the third when Russell, first up, singled and went to second on Clark's sacrifice and scored on Reynolds hit. Reynolds later scored when Sewers hit the ball over the left field fence for ho<ie r~p. It was the longest hit made in Anniston since the days of Tom Fisher and was the fea- ture of the contest.
