Let Them Call It What They May
It's Right Narne Is-Saloon

COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS have bee, mad.
IN this and in other states to fool the people
ni.o voting for acts and amendments that
WIN orng back the saloon with all it's at
oendant evils and dangers.
THE USUAL PROCEDURE is to give such
legislation harmless sounding titles but, by
q tricky use of words-a camouHaee of
language- slip a joker into the text that
VIII give II. when enacted, the opposite
power and effect to that which appears in
the title
MORE VICIOUS use-or rather abuse-of
the intentions of voters cannot be imagined
Dut what can you expect from a business
rounded as was the saloon on the weakness
and cupidity of the weaker members of the
race?
RIGHT N DIV IN MICHIGAN a last despe-
rate attempt is being made to do Just that
sort OF thing.
UNDER A TITLE that sounds like one thing,
an amendment that means Just the opposite,
IS up for your decision.
II ID CALLED the Beer and Wine amend
ment. When the "Wets" speak of it they
use the term Light wines, etc." but as a
matter OF fact the word Tight" does not
appear In title or xt-an a heavier
weapon was never used by the advocates
OF a befuddled world
o IF YOU WILL READ this latest at
tempt to nullify Michigan's best piece of
legislation-the DRY" act-you will find
that 1T means just this-bringing back the
Saloon IT its worst form and with it's most
harmful accessories.
CALL 1T WHAT THEY haywood it as
they may, to conceal it's true intent-this
Beer and Wine" amendments right name
IS "The Saloon Amendment"
DON'T BE DECEIVED by the wheedling of
those who have always advised only for
their own proft-and your loss.
READ CAREFULLY; weigh every word;
and make up your own mind what the
saloon interests are trying to get you to do.
JUST AS AN EXAMPLE of the difference
between what they say about it and what
they say in it,
THEY ARE SOLICITIOUS-Oh so feel
ingly solicitous.-lest the poor farmer be
denied the privilege of making cider from
his own apples. That would be a great
hardship you will agree. They weep real
tears over his predicament.
VERY WELL-Read that amendment and
you will find cunningly concealed in VERDI
age. yet clearly stated, that if that Beer
and Wine" amendment we're passed the
farmer could neither make nor sell cider
Without first taking out a license
same as a saloon or a brewery
CAN YOU BEAT THAT for double deaIi-e?
Yet they fondly hope that enough Michigan
voters will be fooled by the title and by
their propaganda TO vote for this thing that
would put the saloon back even stronger
than it was.
OH. WINES ARE HARMLESS" they say.
!. Verpyl Wine is the standby of the side
Door" and the Cabaret. And the Cabaret
and the family entrance" are the most
vicious phases OF the Salocn-they ruin
women as well as men and degrade both.
WHY, SOML FOREIGN WINES nave al
most as great an alcoholic content as the
strongest whiskey-and create . worse
form of intoxication.
AND BEER" they used TO tell US why
in Germany ever the children drink beer
Beer drinking is universal there"
WELL. WE HAVE SEEN what Beer will do
when universally used Was ever a people
more de~gradcd-more brutalized-more
deadened to the difference between right
and wrong7
