Labor Holding Only Key

Representatives of labor have appeared before the ed
ucaton and labor committee of the advocating
eminent action to increase home building operations IN
the United States While there has been time
when home building needed, both to furnish
homes employ labor and capital it is hardly proba
BILE that anything congress can do will start the work
So long as labor itself holds the only key, person
or corporation able build, will be likely to startfew
people like anything they cannot finish, and few
indeed to be found in this country who believe they
rely labor to finish the job if trouble should
arise in Kalamazoo, Mich Patterson, N. j. Such an
optms would be equal to the who remarked to Noah
that he did not think it would be much of shower.
The easy and free way in which labor puts losses and
ruin upon innocent and women when it is necessary
that they do to further their selfish ends is
like the operations of the Germans in Belgium that
not expect hold the confidence of the balance
of mankind.

LETTER OF Mr.. GILMORE
Louisville, KY, June 7.

Louisville, KY, June 7.
"Oh, Consistency, thou art jewel"
To the Editor, Dear Sir:
On the grounds that liquor is
"damnable stuff" or as some of the
other reformers call it 'hquid hell
fire." and that it is responsible for
nearly all or our crimes, and that it
steals away our brains, state after
state has adopted prohibition and
forty odd states have ratified an
amendment in favor of prohibition.
And hundreds of millions of private
properties will be destroyed without
conversation and hundreds of mil
lions of revenues will be sacrificed
and all for the purpose of prevent
ing men and women from using
whiskey, wine and beer.
In various states automobiles, suit
cases, berths on Pullman cars and
occasionally residences are being
searched for liquor that it may be
confscated and the holders fined and
imprisoned.
Our great commonwealth and our
antional government are crusading
along the lines of Carrie Nation, and
they are doing it on so big scale
that Carrie Nation has been forgot
ten. So intent are our great law
makers, on prohibiting the use of Ii
quor by all people save the law-mak-
ers that Bills of Rights and Decla-
rations of independence have been lit
orally thrown into discard.
Down in Tennessee which is being
made veritable desert of thirst I'm
Gle Sans sleuths have been very &C
tive of late and thousands of quarts
and pints and half-pints have been
seized and the owners probably have
been fined and sent to the Federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga.
And what did Uncle Sam do with
this vast amount of liquor-this
"damnable stuff" that no man should
be permitted to use? Was it de-
stroyed as it should have been? On
the contrary, it was shipped up to
Louisville and advertised and sold at
public auction at the Custom House.
Men and women were invited to come
and buy this liquor, and its virtues
were extolled by the good natured
auctioneer to such an extent that it
realized extraordinary prices.
The only excuse for the confisca-
ton of all of this liquor, including
the automobiles in which it was car
ried, is the contention that it should
not be used by human beings, and
yet the United States government, af-
ter taking the property from the men
who owned it, sells it to the people
of Louisville and puts the money
received into the public treasury.
The contention of the prohibition
lists is that liquor belongs in the cat

The Liquor Makers Plea

We are continuously in receipt of the propaganda Of

Assuming that the charge of Mr. Gilmore is true-that
the seized whiskey in Tennessee and sold it
in Kentuckywe do not know the facts, but wish to
remind Mr. Gilmore that the U. S. Government has long
been willing partner in the crime of whiskey traffic
But now since the people have more nearly assumed
charge of their government they unwilling for
the partnership continue and they depore any act OF
any government official which makes of whskey for
the financial benefit of the government

President Parks is loved and respected by the class
of the year. and by those who have gone before who
