Let Them Call 1t What They Nav
It's Right Name Is-Saloon

COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS have been made
IN this and IN other states TO fool the people
into voting for acts and amendments that
will bring back the saloon with all its at
tendant evils and dangers.
THE USUAL PROCEDURE is 70 give such
legislation harmless sounding titles but, by
tricky use of words-a camoufage of
language-slp joker into the text that
will give it, when enacted, the opposite
power and effect TO that which appears in
the title
A MORE VICIOUS use-or rather abuse-of
the intentions of voters cannot be imagined
but what can you expect from a business
founded was the saloon on the weakness
and cupidity OF the weaker members of the
race?
RIGHT n DIV IN MICHIGAN a last despe-
rate attempt is being made TO do lust that
sort of thing
UNDER TITLE that sounds like one thing,
an amendment that means Just the opposite,
sup for your decision.
1T is CALLED the Beer and Wine" amend
ment. When the VETS" speak of it they
use the term Light wines, etc" but as a
matter Of fact the word light" does not
appear in title text-and a heavier
weapon was never used by the advocates
Of q befuddled world
FOR IF YOU WILL READ this latest at
tempt to nulify hichigan's best piece of
legislation-the Dry act-you will find
that il means just this-bringng back the
Saloon In it's worst form and with its most
harmful accessories.
CALL IT WHAT THEY MAY-word it as
they may, to conceal it's true intent-this
Beer and Wine" amendments right name
is The Saloon Amendment"
DON'T BE DECEIVED by the wheeling of
those who have always advised only for
their own pso6t-and your loss.
Rad CAREFULLY weigh every word;
md make up your mind what the
saloon interests trying to get you to do
JUST AS AN EXAMPLE of the difference
between what they say about it and what
they say In it,
THEY ARE SOLICITIoUS-Oh. Sc feel
neiy soicitous-lest the poor farmer be
denied the privilege OF making cider from
his own apples. That would be q great
hardship you will agree. They weep rea
tears over his predicament.
VERY WELL-Read that amendment and
you will find cunningly concealed in verbi-
age yet clearly stated that if that Beer
and Wine" amendment were passed the
farmer could neither make nor sell cider
Without first taking out a license
same a saloon or a brewery
CAN YOU BEAT THAT for double dealins3
Yet they fondly hope that enough Michigan
voters will be fooled by the title and by
their propaganda to vote for this thing that
would put the saloon back even stronger
than IL was.
OH, WINES ARE HARMLESS they saw.
Verify Wine is the standby OF the Side
Door and the Cabaret. And the Cabaret
and the family entrance" are the most
vicious phases OF the Saloon-they ruin
women as well as men and degrade both
