there is little basis for the apprehen-

time. -
1t is very plain that certain ele-
ments in Minnesota are frantic and
overzealous to discredit the league,
and are willing to resort 20 anything
and everything to accomplish their
purpose. Fortunately, however, mere
accusations mean nothing; proof of
the charges and conviction must fol-
low.
The Nonpartisan league thrives on
the villificatton which IL being heaped
upon it by the organs Of big business,
and the workingmen, heretofore
skeptical, are beginning to realize
there must be some reason for this
abuse. Generally, these who are fair
enough to investigate the league and
its platform ascertain that there is
no foundation for the charges Of dis
loyalty, but that instead their sup
port is merited, which IN most cases
is forthcoming.
Undoubtedly the rapid growth Of
the league and it's Influence had
something to do with the arrest of

JACK LONDON ON BOOZE

Jack London was one OF Americas
most brilliant writer's. He probably
died prelnaturely as a direct result OF
drink. In a book entitled John Bar
leycorn" he told frankly the story OF
his struggles and defeat. -
He insists very strongly in this book
that his failure was not due to an ap-
petite for liquor-he says he disltked
the taste--but to the fact that It was
always easily accessible. His conclu-
sion is given in these. forcible words:
''The way to stop drinking is to
stop it. The way China stopped the
general use Of opium was by stopping
the cultivation and importation Of
opium. The philosophers, priests and
doctors Of China could have preached
themselves breathless against opium
for a thousand years, and the use of
opium, 80 long as opium was ever ac-
cessible and obtainable, would have
continued unabated. We are 80 made,
that is all. Wo have with great sue
cess made practice Of not leaving
arsenic and astrychntne. and tyhoid
and tuberculoisi germs, lying around
for our children to be destroyed by.

Stop him. Don't lot him lie around,
