q. y Quaker always did hate the booze traffic He was

new TWIST to his views on the matter If his standing were
to be determined by what that crowd thinks Of him he
would be put down as one Of the fighting Quakers.
All Of this one may be sure, will be recalled now that
he has taken the position that there is to be wet spell IN
this country until the peace treaty is ratified Another
crowd Of crics doubtless will tell the public that Nh. Pal
mer is very Machiayenian kind of politician and that by
his ruling on the length Of war time prohibition hes merely
seeking to increase public pressure upon the senate for the
ratification Of the treaty n
But as amatter Of fact Secretary Pamers ruling en-
nendy sensible proper It's just logical for him to
declare that there is state Of war until the treaty is ra-
fled as it is for the coal operators say it, and there are
not very many people hereabout who doubt the entire
enes of the operators when they took that stand at the
Buffalo conference.
And nasmuch as that is the legal status Of the matter why
should Mr. Palmer create legal fiction for the sake Of
permitting saloon keepers and liquor dealers to dispose Of
stocks which they deliberately accumulated in anticipation
