millions every day. After all, it was
business principles. and not merely
that banished whiskey. In
Baltimore it was found by actual test
that the city paid in expenses for
paupers, courts, etc, seven dollars

the service will be as good or bet

but not all as the prices were not
satisfactory. From $4,000 to $25-
90 was the price paid for those
sold Remember the cleo
ton on Monday February II on

Through the efforts of Rev.

week our pages are adorned with
attractive advertisements. They

sideration 1--WE know what
it took to win the world war but
not so certain what it takes to

......The cotton gamblers are get
ting to believe that the south has

into Harlem, where a gigantic arm
rose above the horizon, studded with
electric lights, holding bottle fifty
feet long, pouring beer into a glass
ten feet high. This was the sign of
the Jake Rupert brewer, glaringly
telling the boys at the College and
others for miles around, where they
could have their brains befuddled and
their nerves poisoned for few. cents.
The lights have gone out in that big
sign, and with them the hopes of the
wickedest set of low politicians that
ever piled their trade. The Rupperts
and Ebrets (another millionaire brew
ing concern) are all Germans, and
their sympathies were with Germany
in this war. Truly, disaster of dou-
BILE sort has overtaken them. and
neither the German idea nor the Ger
man brew will ever have any show in
this great country again.
Something had to be done to save
the women Of New York from the
menace Of rum. Saloonkeepers on
Broadway we're heard to declare years
ago that they would have to quit bus
mess long ago if it we're not for the
patronage Of the women. ! saw a
couple not long ago, both Of them
young, and not long married. They
had room in a respectable rooming
house, but the wife lay in bed all day
and ran around at night, and came
home drunk. They were given notice
to leave, and the wife angry at this,
ran out on the street half-clothed,
while the poor young husband ran af-
ter her, calling: Dear Marie, dear
Marie, come back come backp She
outran him, and he went on groan-
ing: %, Pm afraid the cops will ar
rest her before can find her. O,
Lordy, Lordy!" Sweet Marie soon
came back, but they had to move,
that very day. Some women drink
perfumerY, which contains pure alco-
hol.
Many are wondering what bad hab-
|it man will take up next, now that
whiskey is TO be done away with. Man
is an unfortunate cuss about his ap-
petites, and has less sense than a hog
about what is good for him to eat
and drink. Some think drugs will in
crease in use, but the laws will sim
ply have to be tighter, and il the
South could stand prohibition. this
big, naughty town will have to do it
too.
A more serious and practical ques-
tion is as to what will make up the
hundreds Of millions of revenue from
alcohol. That will quickly adjust it
self. The loss Of this nation from
the disablement Of working people
by whiskey has been figured at a bill.

New York Letter.

Well. the expected has happened, !.
and the prohibition amendment to the
United States Constitution has been
adopted, making the whole nation
bone dry from January l6. 1920. 1t
has taken over one hundred years to
bring about this great reform, and
the great war itself had more to do
with hurrying it to a conclusion than
anything else.
0, but Gotham howls! New York's
sore toe has been stepped on, and she
howls! What are the lounge lizards,
the tango pirates, and the night
blooming set Of dudes and dudines,
the peroxide blondines, the chorus
girls, and the fast ones of both sexes
going to do without their Martini
cocktails, their gin-fzzes, Scesch high
balls and rum sangarees? What will
the painted onef that throng Maxim's.
Rector's and other ultra-swell joints
on Broadway, do without their wines
and liquors, their creme-de-menthe.
and their burnt-brandy omelettes?
How can the TammanY ward-heeler
and the Irish roustabout exist with
out their whiskey, and who can be-
hold without tears, the misery Of the
peerless German! Hard as it is, New
York will have to standit. Now they
say that it will breed hypocrites, liars,
etc, and that there will be evasions
of the law. Did you ever know ..of
law that was not evaded by some one,
but was that a reason for not having
the law? MY belief is that there are
enough dry advocates here to see
that the law is enforced to the limit,
and that New York will take, quite
gracefully, the bitter medicine which
has been forced down her throat. For
New York side-stepped the vote on
ratifying the amendment. and missed
tie glory of victory as did number
Of Eastern States.
Something over half century
ago the East and the North and the
West conquered the South in civil
war, and stopped the institution of
slavery, as should have been done.
Now, mostly by the vote Of the South
ern States, old King Alcohol has been
banished. The South has freed the
North, East and West from a bondage
worse than that Of negro slavery, and
done herself proud and free at the
same time, Hurrah for Dixie!
One Eastern State took up the
amendment add played with it, and
said; 1T looks like it is going to be
adopted, and II so, our State must be
on the winning side. We don't want
to be identified with a failure" That
was Connecticut, the home Of refine
ment and culture, and Of some of the
best people | ever knew. Those
Yankees are shrewd, but this time
they rather got the laugh on them
selves. Their attitude reminds me Of
some verses | wrote about twenty
Years ago when was engaged in Q
campaign against some vile saloons
which had been started near my prop
erty in Maryland, close to Washing
| ton. went to the editors Of the
! Washington papers and asked their
| helm. and thew ali ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
except one. who said: .'Look here
ara Won goipp to win out? You see
we don't want to be identified with q
1 failure" ! am glad to say that he
lbalpad us. and that We did win out
lint ! never forgot that sordid atti.
