On the ISSUE Of

Be No Compromise
No Beer, No Work
ny DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank Crane)

When you are in the minority, and when
the majority takes some action that does
not suit you, you are helpless. just as help
less as if you were in old Germany before
the war and fretting under some Disagree
able .cdict of the kaiser.
The only difference is that then and
there you had no redress, while now and
here you are at liberty TO win the majority
to your side, if you can.
The American people, in due, orderly, an
constitutional manner, have abolished ~
booze. II you do not like this, the o.
thing you can do is to get them to revoke
their decision in the same due, orderly, md
constitutional manner.
Go to it,
But when, instead of doing this, you ~
solve to strike, paralyze the business Of
the country. and bring hardship upon the
great mass of the public, because you cannot
have your own way, you are bad citizens,
you are un-American and you are poor
sports.
The instinct of law and order is deep IN
the American people, and if you imagine
that vociferous army of discontinued per-
sons. even tho crying for beer, can stampedo
the U. s. A., you are mistaken.
