THIS YEARS STATE ISSUE
[ [From the PhiladeIphia Press.l

[From the Philadelphia Press.1
Judge Bonniwell beat Mr.. Guffey
for the Democratic nomination for
governor on the prohibition issue
and now he hopes to win the cleo
ton by reaffirming his devotion to
the right of all men to sell intoXi-
cants to their fellow creatures. That
is the vital plank in his platform.
He opposes the ratification of the
Federal prohibition amendment not
only because he thinks each state
Should act for itself in all matters
affecting it's internal morality" but
because the proposed amendment
denies a heretofore unchaHenged
personal right which personal right
we take from the context to mean
liberty to be drunk or make others
drunk without interference.
AS Senator Sproul takes the op-
posite ground and faVors the ratifica-
ton of the prohibition amendment
by the Legislature the issue is
squarely drawn between the two cam
didates. Those who vote for Judge
Bonniwell will vote for whisky and
those who vote for Senator Sproul
will vote against whisky. 1t is true
that the Legislature and not the
Governor will pass upon the prohibi-
ton amendment but as the two cam
didates for governor stand commit
ted to the support of opposing prin-
ciples vote for the Republican can
didate is dry vote, while a vote for
the Democratic candidate is unquali-
fiedly wet.
The people of Pennsylvania have
thus the issue of wet and dry square
ly put before them. The other is
sues enumerated by Judge Bonniwell
do not count. To most of them there
is no organized opposition. To near
ly all of them there is no Republi-
can opposition. But on the question
of national prohibition the two par
ties are now for the first time in di.
rect opposition and the people will
be called upon in November to de-
eide between them on that vital
iSSla.

What 1t Is All About
IFrom Golfers Weekly1

j
Perhaps the reasoned explanations
of this war are too high for many
of us. These great congratulations as
to freedom, liberty and democracy
are true; they bark back to Magma
Charta and have the ring of Wash
ington and Lincoln in every syllable,
but sometimes they are a bit over
our head. There is a more direct
appeal than that. A British poet
we don't even know his name
tells about q crippled cockney SOL
dier who was creeping out of Fleet
street on his crutches one day when
over on the Law Courts side three
laughing Frenchmen passed in uni
form:
For the houses all grew misty with
a faint horizon blue,
While 1 thought o. cornfiowers
peepin' from blackened har-
vest land,
With many a weary Frenchy fightin'
where those cornfiowers grew;
An I've got kind o. homesick-
ness 1 cannot understand
Since saw those little BIueys goin'
laughin' down the Strand.
oh, cottages with gapin' roofs a.
starin' at the SKY,
On, ruined gardens on the Somme
an trampled banks of Aisne,
There's little left the Trenches but
to beat the Boche or die.
I'd go back to all we hated so, the
noise an filth an pain,
Jest to help those CHEEKY Blueys
win their little homes again!
For many of those who have been
there that is exactly what this war Is
about. That is one reason why we
will fight it and win 1t.

ahead of our schedule and going
fast. We mean to have two mil
lions instead of one in the fighting
line by Christmas.
The German drive has had an ad-
mirable effect upon us. We have
felt the spur and responded after
the manner of a spirited horse to
the goad. We are in this war to the
finish. and that finish will be also
the Kaiser's.
We are not proud of some of the
things we as a nation have done and
we condemn most heartily some of
the tragedies of government at
Washington, but as a whole the
country rejoices that it has done so
well and that we mean to do much
more.

RASTUS AND THE HAM

Some folks dey lubs de brown polk
chops,
An yuthah cyahs fo' lam;
But chile, jes' listen vile All talks,
Abs sho' some fool bout ham.
Jes' han hit tub me long wild aigs,
Er bill an slice hit col.
Hit sho do mex nah stomach glad,
An happifies nah soul.
Hesh talkin' bout yo' beef an lam,
Dey amt no meat kin class wild ham,
Talk erbout yo' landscapes bright
Yo' 'spirin' sights on sea an lam;
Dab haint no place kin hor er light
Tuh dat 'ah kitchen. man
Dat aint no time tub ahgahfy,
Nuh stan eroun' an preach;
Jes' put yo' mouf an teef tub wuck,
Caize ham am hits own speech,
Wen Dinah piles nah plate. ah

Wild steamin' ham an mustahd
greens.-Theophilus Bolden Steward.
