John earIeycorn Moving to Other
Lands.
Pac1hc coast papers report that
large breweries and distilleries are
establishing plants In the Orient.
News dispatches also state that Mexi-
co and South American countries are
being invaded by the liquor men
driven out of America. This must be
stopped, not simply because these
people need protection against their
new enemies, but because most of
these men are vicious enemies of the
United States and will use their In
huence against our interests where
ever they are allowed to build up their
destructive "business."
DR.. Clarence True Wilson in an
open Letter to American Brewers"
says:
would you think we would spend
hundreds of millions sending mission
aries to China, Japan and Africa to
save the souls and bodies Of men; to
build the homes, the schools and
churches of the new age, and then let
you go over and debauch mankind j?
No, we have beaten you after our
long war; you are retreating from
your American stronghold. We will
follow you wherever you fee and stop
your poisoning our brothers, sisters,
and children. You shall not cruelty
humanity upon your cross Of greed.
Listen to this advice: 4 speak as
unto wise men, judge We what I say:
Quit while the quitting is good, invest
those illgotten gains in legitimate
business, which supplies the needs Of
the world, get the faint and curse
rubbed off that money by investing
and working it in honest industry.
Maybe you will be able to save your
fortunes, your future, your families.
But, through the portals of the future,
your trade shall not pass; it bears
upon its face the blood Of men and
the curse Of Cod"
Why We Went Dry.

Cheering Some One On.
Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name
All the best in lifes the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone;
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown,
Never mind the little setbacks
Nor blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when they're forgotten,
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
Filger McKins.
