Joseph Debar, president OF the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers Asao-
citation of America, makes the follow
ing answer to the utterance given to
the press by the Rev. Pur!ey A. Baker,
national superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League:
9TH, ststsm,,,t made by tke Rev.
Bake that twoaty-gour states haVa
ortlawel the drink traffic, Is Tisleaa-
ing and untrue.
Only twenty.throe states are dry
many of these by act Of Legislature
and not by vote of She people. In
March OF this year Vermont reYu-
dated prohibition by two TO sne
vote. The population Of the twenty
three dry states is only 32,316 34l,
while the population of the wet states
Is 1866, ,926. The population of the
states voting dry last Tuesday is only
f,JOS,Oso' Ac I'Daldl-OA VI iiS
states voting wet is 7,352,lS6. These
states are Missouri, California and
MarylGnd. All of these figures tell
their own story and show that on Tues
day over 100000 more people voted
wet than dry while there is st!ll
twice as many people living in II.
censed states as in so-cllled prohibi-
ton states.
Protect Individual Rights.
"The states referred to have not out
lawed the drink traffic. on the con
trary, they have in various ways ar
ranged to protect and perpetuate the
right to use wine, beer and whisky By
securing laws which designate the
quantity that an individual may buy
or receive for personal u6e.
THE further statement by the Rev
Baker that most OF the territory in the
remaining states has abolished drlnk
through the instrumcntallty of local
option is not truo In any sense.
Some districts have voted against
licensing the saloon, but in al in.
stances the right OF the Individual TO
secure wine, beer and whisky for per-
sonal use has been protected by the
efforts Of Mr.. Baker and his colleagues
OF the Ant!-Saloon League.
Tho Rev. Baker complains that
neither political party was willing to
declare for national prohibition. No
national party can in honor afford TO
do this without providing compensa-
tion TO the interests destroyed.
No national party can go before the
people favoring conascatlon of prop
erty.
Only $4,000 Prohibition Votes.

tionlsts, Chairman Oliver w. Stewart

PINK MAYFLOWERS.

The little mayhower. or arbutus. Is a
great favorite Of mine.
Not only Is the may flower sweet
smelling, but 1t is sweet tasting, as any
little bumblebee can tell you. On the
hillsides or the borders Of rocky woods.
where the flower generally grows. you
will In the springtime find swarms of
the bumblebees hanging around the
flowers, into which they dive for a
drink of their delicious nectar.
must tell you how the mayflower
got its name.
l have told you of the brave white
people who first came to live In this
country nearly 800 years ago. They
reached the land in the fall, and In
Massachusetts, where they had come
to stay, that winter was very cold
one. They suffered much because the
food was scarce and the clothes which
they had were not warm enough. Their
English homes had been warm and
comfortable, but in the American for
est they had only poorly built log cab
ins, through the cracks in which the
chill winds often whistled.
When the hungry wolves howled
around their doors ON wild nights or
they could see the Indians watching
them from behind the trees In the
great uncleared forest no doubt they
often longed for the pleasant English
towns they had left. For the women
and children who had to stay much In.
doors 1t was very hard indeed.
But 10y and by spring came. and then
the settlers were able to be out once
more. And great was their delight
when the leaves came out on the trees,
when the bushes in the forest clothed
themselves In green and the grass ev.
erywhere became fresh and bright
Here and there In the woods flowers
began to appear and first of all among
them the little pink flower which we
have named the mayfower.
The little children gathered them and
carried them home to show their de
lighted parents.
And the women dug them up and
tried to plant them around the cabins
to begin little gardens. gardens that
they meant to make as much as they
could like the loved gardens which
they had left with theT homes across
the ocean.
The flowers grew all about the pine
groves Of old Plymouth. where the
people had settled. and because the
flowers had come to them in May and
because the name OF the good ship that
had brought them to America had been
called the Mayfiower they so named
the flower.
