ON SECOND THOUGHT

we do not share the alarm OF the
correspondent who believes tne at

tscularly in the matter of personal

cious consequences not now appre-
hehded.n In the first place. every
thing peruieious in its nature already
ond. pretty nearly everything that can
happen has happened
The column has hitherto expressed
its reluctance to fight for 2.75 beer.
We wish to add that the probability

''She is,'' we quote from the es-
teemed HavFe (Mont.) Democrat, "a

sip and politics. does not mix with the

none too plentiful. But in the East

We recall but one other incident of
the prohibition typhoon so calculated
/ deeply to thrill us. That was the en-
lbroglio between the Hon. Turk Burke
Hon. Zunwalt, "spotting' for the state
Temperance union. had wandered cas-
| ually into the Hon. Burkes saloon.
He noticed a certain faucet which.
upon occasion and in response to the
| touch OF the bartender, gurgled an
amber-colored fluid. Possessing him
self of an empty bottle, Hon. Zumwalt
| giided behind the bar and proceeded
to fill ii from said faucet Hon. Burke
caught him in the act and Hon. Zum-

Subsequently a grateful popuiace
purchased a s75 gold-headed cane and
presented it to Hon. Burke. But that
graceful acknowledgment of Hon.
Burke's prowess did not stay the tide

Hon. Burke and his kind. 1t is en-
tirely possible that riding "Pussyfoot'
johnson on a rail will not be construed
as an effective argument against
"Pussyfoot's" cause.

A few labor union leaders are rep
fesenting their critics as opposed to
organized labor. Possibly some of
their critics are in fact opposed to or
kanized labor but by far the-greater
pumber are merely opposed to the
Evils of organized labor, the strikes
chat entail public suffering. BY pic
furing all their critics as enemies of
organized labor, the union1eaders will
hurt their own cause by unduiy mag
