TOMMY HOME FROM The WAR FOUND WHAT RUM HAD
DONE IN HIS HOME

He was not an interesting modern
Enoch Arden. He did not talk like
the Tommy Atkins of Mr.. Kipling
and at first | felt disappointed in him.
He was very dirty. And yet
He was human. He had put in two
years in the bloody trenches fighting
for his king and his country. He had
wife and some children, and he
cared enough for them to walk eight
miles in the mud to see them and
spend Christmas with them.
No One to Keep Booze Away
And the king he served and the
country for which he will probably
die, without knowing just what for,
did not care enough for him while he
was neville seni3 France TO keep
drink away from him wife or protect
his children from another man in the
'ouse."
You can take it for what it Is worth.
1t is only one such out of thousands.
This one came within my ken.
doubt if even Tennyson could have
made poem out OF it. And ] am
quite sure Sir Barclay Pcats couldn't
not even for Allsopps.
Some cold facts that are calculated
to make a Prohibitionist hot are
these:
During 1917, every day, submarines
destroyed the equivalent of 10000
loaves of bread. But during the same
period the breweries of Great Britain
destroyed the equivalent of 100000
loaves of bread day.
The British government allows
brewers to outbid millers by one
pound, six shillings and three pence
ton for grain. AS result, the
farmers sell the best grain to the
brewers, and the poorest goes for
bread.
Since the beginning of the war, the
breweries of England have destroyed
100000 tons of sugar, equaling thirty
eight weeks of sugar rations for the
entire population.

The liquor forces in New jersey
have distributed widely leanet en-.
titled, British Handling of Liquor
Question of Interest Now" the re-
putcd author being the Marquise de
Fontenoy, i'll which it is urged
Before definitely committing
the whole of the United States
to that particular form OF tyran-
ny known as Prohibition, Ameri-
can legislators would do we'll to
give careful consideration to what
Lord d'Abernon has accomplish
ed in Great Britain during the
last three years in the cause of
temperance by mere restriction of
the consumption OF liquor.
In the carly stages of the war
the government found the indus
tries of the nation to be handi-
capped by the grossest conditions
Of intempcrance. Something had
to be done without delay. The
experience of 200 years had
shown that it was hopeless to at
tempt to deal with the matter by
legislation. The statute book is
full OF laws bearing upon the sub
iect, and allowed to fall into des-
uetude owing to their impractic
ability.
Please note what they state TO be
the awful conditions caused by the
liquor traffic in England at the out
break of the war, and the confession
they make OF the absolutely lawless
spirit OF the traffic in times OF peace
Then the article goes on to state
that legislation was passed giving
sovereign power to central board of
CONTROL. The hours were reduced
from Is to 5, and all treating pro-
hibited. Then they set forth the fol-
lowing results, and all this is put out
as an argument in favor of the liquor
traffic
The result OF these measures
has been amazing. For every
100 cases of drunkenness in 1918
and 1914 there are today only rs.
For every 100 cases of delirum
tremens in those years there are
now only 20. For every 100

The liquor crowd have written tht
word, "fnis" to the life of John Coo
dan. Joe was a no-legged man out il
Napa, Calf. Napa is in the heart OF
the wine section, and it is not hard tc
get liquor. Joe, who lost both legs
made his way about in a wheeled
chair. He was a heavy drinker, and
got badly intoxicated the other day
and when lodged in jail he suffered
an attack OF delirium tremens. Physi-
clans worked over him, but epilepsy
developed and death claimed his Grip

William ]. Bryan, in an interview
with the Kansas City Star, Marcel
"a, is quoted as saying:
Unless something entirely un-
foreseen happens we shall have 80
states lined up for ratification,
the necessary number, within a
year. Among the states now
wet whose legislatures may be
counted to ratify the following
may be mentioned: Florida, Min
nesota, Missouri, Wyoming, Ne
vedaa nd Ohio. Missouri went
dry in 1916 outside of st. Louis.
AS the Missouri Legislature cam
not be overwhelmed by St. Louis
wet vote, your state can be
counted as certain to ratify. Ohio
went dry outside of Cincinnati
and in the total vote Prohibition
fell short by only 1887 votes. Six
teen of the % Ohio Congressional
districts voted dry and the Leg
islature is dry beyond a doubt.
The important thing now is to
hasten ratification in order to
hasten the closing of the saloons.
If the governors in the Fl dry
states will call special sessions
of their legislatures within
month we can increase the num-
Der of notifications to 81. Then
pressure could be brought on the
other FIVE states needed to COM
plete the list.

(The following is from an article
by Charles NJ. Sheldon, in the indie
pendent.)
He was just an average Tommy
fresh from the trenches on his four
teen days leave. | first saw him at
the end of platform OF small town
where l had to change trains and
wait for connections with the main
line.
He had the regulation kit, steel he'll
met, army rifle, canvas bag and all
the rest, over 100 pounds in all. He
had come right through from Char
ing Cross without stopping to clean
up.
He was saying to- the old station
porter: Am gon' on Az, sp I'D.
.Han't been 'ome fer two years. Coin
to see 'cr an kddies, am
ITS nigh on eight mile" heard
the porter say.
AN I'll be there afore dark" says
Tommy, and off he goes, the old por
ter watching him as he waded
through the mud OH the way to
Carnsford.
There He Was Again
Early next morning | was at the
same station again on my way back
from the meeting OF the night before,
and while waiting for my train I was
aware of the same Tommy, standing
almost at the same spot on the plat
form. The old porter was asking him
rather personal questions, and | con-
fess | went near enough to hear most
of them, and | shall feel more or less
guilty to my dying day, but Tommy
was saying with the brutal openness
OF AIRY and 'Arriet that cares naught
