Can't Drift to Democracy.

The big business interests are re-.
ported to have completed their plans
for after the war. Does any one be.
lieve that what the great monopolies
are planning can be in the interest
of any but themselves? Indeed, what
the people want is sure to be vastly
different.
But will the people be able to ex,
press their will in strong fashion
This must be done, and it can only be
done through organization.
One of the most subtle defenses of
conservation is that the modern no.
ton, seduloIsly sown, that democracy
is a process so inevitable and pre-
destined in the evolution of society
that no clearly conscious direction is
required. The dissipation of this be.
lief should be one of the chief services
of this war.
Democracy can not be brought about
by a drift of unconscious purpose. 1t
needs organization and direction by
the co-opertive will of individuals
and nations. Until this cooperative
will has been created and made effec
tive, it must continue to remain ar
open question whether democracy is
possible. The main attack must be
upon the vested interests in control
of politics and industry.

Fried Eggs Follow the Flag.
(By Macmillan FOster.)

War work in France is crucible
Thousands who have gone abroad Wis
ioning themselves as heroic figures at
the very battle front, only to find that
there is much more drudgery than glory
for the volunteer, have stood the test
Some who were insincere in their pur-
pose have weakened. They have been
sifted out and probably are back in
America. Only the pure gol. man or
woman is permitted to rehsain and
do the hard prosaic work which will
help the men in khaki to win the
war.
Just to show one side of what work
means over here, take one of the con-
ventional Y. M. C. A. huts outside
the war zone. Up at the front, of
course, there is plenty of excitement
to leaven the <oil, the drudgery; but

The Argument for Prohibition.

read a news item few days ago
stating that man had entered
home during the night and beaten
woman so seriously it was doubtful
if she would recover. This man, while
in jail the next morning, stated that
he had been drinking and did not
know what he was doing. What an
advertisement for booze this is! AL
though, if you will notice, the brewery
and saloon themselves, never adver-
tise their finished product. Why are
they the only manufacturers who pur-
sue this policy?
Booze is indicted as being the great
est impeachment to speedy, over
whelming and permanent victory. The
jury is your "horse sense" and the
evidence is an array of indisputab1e
facts.
First Count-Booze destroys six
times as much food in one year as the
submarines destroyed in. the first IL
months of their activity. The defend
ants themselves, the brewers, in their
year book, say that 2,949, 249 bushels
of grain were used in their manufac-
tories last year. The beer industry
alone is using the equivalent of 5,000,-
900 good loaves of bread day. This
is sufficient to supply 5,555,000 work
ing men,. Our own army in France
could be quadrupled, yet this grain
would feed them The entire enlisted
forces of the navy could be fed from
the land now used for hops. We leave
the restaurant after having dined on
limited ration Of bread, macaron1
and pie with crust of dark hue, and
we feel overspatri0tic for the self.
denial practised. AS we pass on our
way, musing upon the scarcity OF
grain we are confronted with a brew.
cry whose abdominally over-deVeloped
employees are dumping trainlOad OF
barley into stenchful' and poisonful
watts. Then, perhaps unwittingly, we
compare our Hooverized appetite with
the gluttonous satisfaction of the
brewery, and the recalcitrant process
of our minds intimate that this food
conservation business is a bit askew
Second Count-Booze is a monopol'
izer of transportation in time of need
The wine and beer business used 49,.
600 freight cars last year. Would
those cars, if filled with coal, have
helped us last January and February?
Transportation equivalent to 60 5000
ton ships is constantly employed to
carry drink. to and fro between the
Allies. Is that common sense?
Third Count-Booze wastes the la
Dor of 100000 farmers, who spend their
time raising it's ingredients, and the
time of 100000 other men who manu-
facture and dispense it.
Fourth Count-BooZe purloins the
wages of the working man to the
tune of $4,000, O00,000 annually. This
would have met the first Liberty
Loan and the change would have built
feet of super.dreadnaughts; $780,.
900 is returned In revenue.
Fifth Count~Beer is the best ally of
the Germans; Lloyd George says so
We Yankees drank eight times the
beer the boches did last year. OF
what nationality is beer anyway?
Americas opportunity has come to
make her profession and her life one.

hibition amendment in Sc states, we

as to the attitude of labor toward pro-

even insinuate that the miners would

Need Of Market Control.

How many farmers are fully aware
of the interest they have in the ques.
ton of fair markets for meat and
dairy products? The entire character
of the farming industry in America
is rapidly changing. A few years ago
nearly every farmer was growing a
single market crop-grain, potatoes,
fruit, cotton; while most of the meat
was produced on western ranges
Now a great deal of the grain crop is
fed on the farm, and goes to market
as meat, butter, cheese, milk and eggs.
Whoever controls the stockyards, the
packing plants, the cold storage ware
houses, the creameries and the cheese
factories will have a stronger and
stronger hold on the farmers mar
kets. The farmers can not afford to
leave this tremendous power in the
hands of private monopoly. It would
not be right. 1t would be an injustice
to themselves and greater injustice
to their children.
