HOW TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

"They tell me that the prohibitory
law is not enforced" says William Jen-
nings Bryan. my answer is, elect men
who will enforce it! Don't you know
that the first thing that the liquor in
Cerests do is to name men who will not
enforce the law? The man who accepts
the nomination from the men interest
ed in liquor must take an oath in adj
vance that he will violate the oath that
the Constitution requires him to take.
That is the condition upon which they
give their support!
"Bnt have another answer. Ii you
tell me that we will have blind tigers
if we don't have saloons. / answer
that II a tiger were after my boy, the
Ps5linder the tiger, the stsftffs essr.~ my boy
would bel If the tiger Is blind, my boy
must hunt him up If the tiger can see.
he can hunt my boy up. If we close
the saloons and they still sell liquor,
they do it in the byways and in the al
leys, and those who sell are criminals
and those who deal with them do II
with shame upon the face.
IF we close the saloons and then
elect men who will enforce the law we
are not to blame if, in spite Of all we
can do there may be some selling with
out a license. We are no mere respon-
sible after we have done all we can
than we are for the work Of burglar
who enters house in spite of the FACT
shat we have law against burglary"

FOLLOWS THE USE or BEER.

During the Spanish-Ameriean war
a group of physicians of this country
signed this statement:
ut is not only in the state of drunk
enness that men sep into danger of Ia
curing venereal diseases, but in the
state of exhilaration and weakened
self-control which follows the use of q
comparatively small amount of alec
hollc liquors. This impairment of self
control not only follows the use Of
the stronger liquors. but may also tol
low the use of beer"

tn: PROHIBITION SITUATION AT
THE BEGINNING OF 1918.

A survey Of the wet and dry situa-
ton throughout the country, taken by
the board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals Of the Methodist
church, shows that on January / there
were 2.374 dry counties and 615 wet
counties. This is dry gain for the
year 1917 of SO counties.
The year 1917 gave the drys state
wide victory in New Hampshire. Utah
and Indiana by legislative action and
In New Mexico by vote of the people.
Iowa failed by very small majority
to make it's prohibition constitutional.
Ohio reduced its wet majority almost
to the vanishing point. New Jersey
elected local option legislature and
Kentucky elected one pledged to sub
mission Of state prohibition and ratifi-
cation of the national amendment.
New York added 105 towns to its dry
list and Illinois closed saloons in the
state capital.
The United States Supreme court
upiSiu TIC NtDD-INetlyOu dhtl-olilppii6
law and sustained the rigid Idaho bone
dry law.
Congress voted the District of Col
umbia dry, passed the Reed bone-dry
law, shutting liquors out of all prohi-
bltion states; enacted law prohibit
Ing the sending Of advertising of Ii
quors through the mails into states
where it is forbidden; enacted prohibi-
ton for Alaska in response to the ac-
ton Of the people at the polls; made
Porto Rico prohibition territory; for
babe the sale of liquor to soldiers and
sailors; prohibited the manufacture
and importation of distilled liquors
during the war; gave the president
power to stop brewing to save grain
and submitted an amendment to the
Constitution for national prohibition.

HOW THE SALOON PAYS ITS IL.
CENSE MONEY.

Some one may claim that the sa-
loon helps to pay his taxes. This is
a great error. Can you squeeze water
out of sponge? If you think you can,
go down to the drug store and buy
one. l will squeeze 1t. How much
water do l get?
The only way you can get water out
of sponge is to bring the water in a
basin, drop in the sponge and let it
absorb 1t. Then you can squeeze some
Of the water back.
If you want to get money out of
saloon, the only way is to put the
saloon down in the community and for
every $4,000 1t takes from the pock-
cts of the people you can squeeze one
thousand of it Lack in the form Of city
license. The saloon must pick the
pockets of the poor-to pour a thin
golden stream of revenue.-Exchange.
