A HANNA PREDIcTIoN.-

A HANNA PREDIcTIoN.-It was
Mark Hanna I believe who made the
famous prediction that the final pO-
litical struggle in the United States
would be between the Republican
and Socialist parties.
It is true that a few Republican and
even Socialist workingmen are turn
ing to Pres. wilson. But for every
turning Pres. Wilson. But for every
man that turns that way two bust
ness men or farmers will turn to Mr..
Hughes because they believe that
Pres. Wilson's attitude will have
tendency to increase freight rates.
Mr.. Hughes, therefore, in spite of his
weak speeches, will probably be
elected.

PTcKETs CAN'T STOP BEER

PICKETS CAN'T STOP BEER
Does organized labor stand solid to-
gether?
There is a strike on at the Ham
mond Beach inn at Hammond, Ind.
White walters, cooks, bartenders and
bus boys are on strike. Colored
strikebreakers have taken their jobs.
We have succeeded in stopping the
icemen, bakery and meat wagon driv-
ers from delivering through our
picket lines, but have been unsuc-
cessfuI in stopping the delivery of
beer.
Now this is a depIorable situation
and it is about time something should
be done in order that repetition OF
this character will not happen else
where.
If organized labor is honest with
its intentions, why is it that we can
not stop the delivery of beer-A. E.

BILLS BATTING AVERAGE
I have been reading your letters to
Big Bill. It is rather sane advice you
are trying to have him think and
ponder over. Do you think Big Bill
cares a snap about such advice?
While there is hope there is soap and
he slipped and fell omit, and you are
asking him to make amends for his
downfall, on account of some mis-
takes he had made. 1 believe, as you
say, he has lost his grip because he
allowed Lundin and some others to
act for him in making appointments
when he should have done this him
self. What good will all those letters
do to force him to change his atti-
tude unless he would heed your adv
vice and honestly go it alone and
show the public from now on that
he is the mayor and ignore those
who no doubt got him in this mess?
The way of the transgressor is hard.
I venture TO say that Big Bill will
have to change his title of Big Bill
to a small, teeney, Little Bill in poll
tics in the future unless he sees the
error of his way. But go on, Mr..
Cochran. Write more letters any
how. There may be a chance to
resurrect some that have a come
down in the political affairs of this
city, and Big Bills case looks hope
less. Mr.. Cochran, you have not fig
ured Big Bills percentage, or, as you
say, his batting average to date. He
started out like Speaker and Ty
Cobb and he has slumped ever since.
His batting will have to take a turn
for the better in the next two years
or he will be transferred back to the
Sportsmen's club for more season.

IS IT INJURIOUS.

The law (of prohihition) does not propose to deal directly with the per- sonal habits of men. It lays its hand on a traffic. Sales are public acts, and always within the domain of law. The law. for sufficient req sons of policy. prescribes the man. ner and modes of sales of real and personal property. makes void what 1t chooses. regulates what 1t deems dangerous, forbids. under penalties, what 1t thinks mischievous. If it lays either q regulating. a restrain ing, or prohibiting hand upon the traffic in intoxicants. 1t does no dif- ferently from what it does in regard to adulterated meat. unwholesome meat, dangerous explosives. fire works, obscene publications, lottery tickets, and numerous other subjects of sale. The only questions society asks. are: Is the trade injurious? Is 1t sufficiently so to call the interfer- ence?-Judge Pitman.-Advt.
