LIQUOR AND POLITICS.

One wonders just what effect the eradication of the
liquor traffic will have upon politics. Politics fattened
the brewery traffic for years and finally killed il.
No one can conceive the greatness of the change
unless he was fully convinced Of the Influence Of the
saloon upon politics. They used to be almost INSOFAR.
able; not that decent people gave way to their sordid
influence; but that many became closely associated with
them in exploiting public sentiment in the direction Of
alcoholic drinks. Why, il was once the case that poll
teal campaigns got much of their enthusiasm from the
liquor shop. And much of this enthusiasm resolved
itself into the political support of the drinking places.
II was SO often the habit, too. to have secreted near
the polls a bottle of party alcohol 10 influence the voter

All this will disappear henceforth and the fiery
demon will have no influence over the votes Of the PEG.
pie. One can conceive OF no greater liberty than to be
freed from the domination Of the saloon. Really, while
that lasted this was not a democracy; it was chained to a
thralldom that pressed upon men at every point in
their lives. The candidates used to have to spend large
sums in visiting the saloons and the brewery owned
saloon was an American curse. If the liquor men had
kept clean of politics, saloons would be open today.

REMEMBER THE FIREMEN.

Passaic, \. J., holds annual memorial services in hon,
or of local firemen who have lost their lives in the pro
lection of life and property. for the city.
Surely no public servants are more worthy of tributes
of respect than these heroes of peace, for nothing is more
hazardous than firefightng and no wound more agon-
izing than a burn. while death by fire is something to
make the bravest shrink.
IN spite of all this. there is seldom any public mem
orial service for the firemen of a nmunity If they
lose their lives, the flag on the city hall is put at hall
mast, and that is about all the attention that is paid
This is not because communities are heartless or un
appreciative, but just because every public institution
must have its start in the activity Of some individual
Every city owes its debt of gratitude to its firelad
dies. Why not take up the Passaic idea, and establish
a regular day to pay respect to living f%ire-heroes and
tribute TO the dead?

ceived travel pay at 81 cents per mile,
when as a matter of fact they were en-
titled to 5 cents per mile. This is now
being paid under the order OF the War
Department. and 1 am informed that

these claims. This money should be
paid to each soldier entitled to receive

not necessary for him to pay anything

TREAT THEM LIKE TRAITORS.

But, as we have pointed out before. while the
real barrier to the spread OF Bolshevism in America
is the common sense of the American people. it is the
part of decency and justice and patriotism to treat the
followers of the red flag exactly az We would treat trait
ors. For that is what the real followers of the red flag
are, traitors to the ideals Of the country, traitors 10 the
flag and traitors to the soldiers of America who have
given heir lives to save liberty for the world. The red
flag is the symbol of sedition. revolution, anarchy. and
anarchy is hell. And in the new America resulting from
the war to make the world safe for democracy there is
no room for such helLraisers, says the Uniontown, (Pa)
Herald.
To wave the red flag anywhere upon the soil over
which the flag of Washington and Lincoln flies is an
insult to every true American. There is only room for
one flag in the United States
!, Let US treat the disciples of Bolshevism. the wavers
of the red flag in this country exactly as they should
be treated.

but have insisted on her becoming a party TO a League
