The Wet Anarchists
iSterling Gazettcl

The liquor interests arc absolute
anarchists. The wet men who arc
trying to fill dry Michigan with
booze because a wet Legislature en-
acted an arti-boozc law with SKINNER
holes in IT purposely, will be found
to be the type of men who arc al
ways denouncing every effort at de-
ccncy and order. who not only violate
the liquor law with impunity, but VIC
late any law they feel like violating
in the SAME way They arc the type
OF people that arc adding daily to the
breed that breeds anarchy in every
country, aad unless Michigan can
suppress these dehers of law and or
der, good government will prove d
failure.

NO MIDDLE COURSE

1t is a matter of regret and
chagrin to me that some of your
trade and labor unions have as
sumed an aggressively antago-
nistic attitude towards state and
nationwide Prohibition. Every
body knows and admits that the
drink habit and the saloon evils
have been the most prolific
curse of the poor workman and
his home. | cannot understand,
therefore, how an intelligent and
conscientious leader of labor
can honestly oppose a reform
which is calculated to do as
much at least for the day labor
er and his family as any other
victory that would give peace
and prosperity to himself and
family.
To oppose Prohibition is only
to advocate the saloon. There
is no middle course, and cannot
be, while commercialized liquor
points the way.-Father ]. ].

speaking in the Senate recently, de
nounced newspapers, public officials
and public men who are advocating
defiance OF the Prohibition law. He
said
by their words and their acts they
arc dehers of law, breeders OF revolu-

Americanism and unpatriotism. They
do not urge the laws enforcement
They incite and encourage resistance

And counts his jack necessarily
With soft and nimble hands.

And cheerfuIly the blacksmith sings
