Declares Alcoholic Drink Loosens
the Inhibitory Control Which
Civilization Has Imposed Over
the Primitive Impulses of Man

Dr. William ]. Mayo, the elder of
the well-known Mayo brothers of
Rochester, Mimi, recognized as the
leading surgeons OF America, has
many times previously spoken of the
evils OF alcohol from the viewpoint
of the surgeon and in favor OF Prohi-
bition. In this address, quoted be-
low, DR.. Mayo points out the fact that
in America the introduction OF pota-
lie water has made Prohibition pos
sible and contrasts conditions in con-
tnental Europe with those in Amer
lea. This portion OF DR.. Mayo's adj
dress follows:
"The introduction of potable water
has made Prohibition possible. Pro-
hibition will enormously increase pro-
duction.
In Vienna the per capita consump-
ton of spirits and fermented liquors
was reduced 40 per cent following the
introduction of pure water supply
from the mountains The failure of
Italy and France to supply potable
water necessitates continuance of
wine drinking just as in Germany the
drinking of beer will continue. II
one traces the temperance movement
throughout the states of the Union he
finds that it was not the appeal to
self-control OF man which was be-
hind this great movement, but the
advent of potable water.
alcoholic drink loosens the inhib-
tory control which civilization has
imposed over the primitive impulses
% man. Crime, accidents and social
disease too often have had their
origin in the alb vance through alco-
hol of individual self-control.
Pure water has eliminated ty-
phoid; wholesome food and better
living conditio-a will go with reduce.

'osis and better care Of focal infec-.
tons in the earlier decades will pre-
vent many deaths in later life"

Indignant Manufacturers Seek
Injunction
tate's Attorney General Brown
Announces Injunction Suit Will
Be Fought to a Finish

In statement given out by Attor-
ney General Brown, of Oregon, a few
weeks ago, he made it very plain that
in the event that certain "syrups"
that were being sold in the state
came up to the advertisements on the
container their sale in Oregon would
constitute violation of the dry law
and that prosecutions would follow
The contents of one can of these
syrups manufactured and sold by the
Bebee Company, of San Francisco,
when treated according to the direc-
tons on the container would make a
quantity of beer containing ESQ per
cent of alcohol. Inasmuch as the
state law prohibits the manufacture
and sale of all liquors for beverage
purposes containing one-half of ! per
cent, Mr.. Brown contends that the
sale of such syrups is violation of
Saw. In a warning on the container
fhe purchaser is cautioned not to
make the full strength of the liquor
and in this way avoid violating the
Prohibition law.
The Bebee Company is real peeved
at Mr.. Brown for his statement rela-
tive to the sale of these syrups. They
do not propose to lose any business
and they have commenced an injunc-
ton suit against Attorney General
Brown and District Attorney Evans
oil Multnomah County, to enjoin them
from prosecuting this company for its
sales of these syrups in Oregon.
Mr.. Brown makes no comment on
this new phase OF the matter, except
to say that the suit will be fought.
However, those who know Mr.. Brown
and his reputation for sticking to a
job until it is completed are looking
forward with interest and expectation
to the fight that is developing, believ-
Ing that it will be one that will be
worth witnessing. They profess the
ebelief that at the conclusion of the
matter 1t will be the Bebee Company
and not Mr.. Brown that will be the
sufferer.

correspondent, who seems to think
that the farmers will have a disil.
! lusioned awakening from their
dream of political Utopia, at
least agrees that their future is
now in the hands of the most re
vOlutionary political machine that
ever gained complete autOcratic
control of legislative affairs in any
state in the union" A Bismark
correspondent of the Boston Her
and describes the nOn-partisan
leagues program as "the most in
teresting, and perhaps the most
important, political and social
movement now visible in the Unit
ed sates;;" and he adds that it's Op-
pOnOnents believe it to be dis
guised campaign for state and ma
tiOnal socialism" The same cores
pondent quotes one of the league
leaders as saying:
North Dakota is the first state in
the union to profit intelligently by
the lessons of the great war and to
prepare constructive program
that paves the way for the next
great political and economic devel-
Opment in civilization, the extern
sion of democracy into industry.
Consequently North Dakota will
be the first state to strike its stride,
long before the rest of the states,
while they are still faltering
through with haphazard and inef-
fective readjustment measures, and
this program promises to make this
state the most stable and content
ed, as well as the most prosperous,
commonwealth in America"
But if North DakOta's adventure
in government represents a revOlu-
ton, remarks the Chicago Post, it
is "a revolution of the bOurgeOise," !"
because in no sense can the land
owning farmers, who have very de
finite property interests and to a
limited extent are employers of la
Dor, be considered prOletarians."
What North Dakota now has is
IAN agrarian dictatorship" remarks
the Boston Globe, which reminds
us, however, that the state is go per
cent agricultural, with no manufac-
lures, and with only one city of 20,
per we find this Illuminating COM

Less than four years ago, when
the. sense of economic grievance that
rankled in the hearts of North Da-

flame by the refusal of the legisla-

Arthur C. Townley jumped into a
small, hired automobile and began
by farm-to-farm canvass the or
ganization of the Non-Partisan

For months the old-line pOliti-
clans regarded this "hiver cam
paign' as a joke, but today they
see Mr. Townley's league of farmers
grown to membership of more
than 100000, with a political organi-
zation in thirteen states, represen-

gress, and completely in control OF
North Dakota's government. More
