People may continue to argue that
prohibition is not the logical thing but
take a slant at some of these facts
and see if they don't pretty near con-
vince YOU that it is. Prohibition has
brought more laughter to children and
more smiles to women than any other
legislation. 1t has turned almhouses
and breweries into factories, jails into
corn cribs, and brought their inmates
forward into the great industrial
army. It has added untold billions to
the nations wealth, transferred mon
ey from the saloon tills to savings
banks and newly erected homes. The
eighteenth amendment has increased
farm and city values, quickened in
dustry and brought to the United
States the greatest era of prosperity
ever known.
The vets are now trying to gain
control of the national conventions of
the political parties, but the drys are
making one of the strongest drives
ever made to retain the eighteenth
amendment. The supreme court is
still holding back on its decision re-
garding the validity of the law.

We have been preaching about auto
speeding right along ever since we
have been in this business, but it does
not seem to have very good effect
among the joy riders. Friday we
had three automobile accidents any Of
which might have resulted in the loss
of life only kind providence stepping
in and saving those who were placed
in danger. The accident yesterday
morning was in no way to be blamed
to the boy driving the car. 1t seems
that some school children attempted
to climb on the delivery wagon and
in his attempting to avoid an accident
he got little bit ratified and the &C.
cident happened. The only blame that
can be attached in that case is the
fact, if true, that the driver ofHthe
delivery wagon, under the state law,
is too young to drive an automobile.
The state law says that no person I'M
der fourteen years of age shall be al
lowed to operate car alone, and we
are told that the boy driving yester-
day when this happened was under
age. We do not know that this is true
and are giving hearsay evidence on
this. But we do know that there are
boys driving cars around this city
who are under age and this should be
stopped, it requires skill and cool
judgment to drive around in this city
at this time when there are so many
autoes flying around, and if men get
ratified, and women, too, it is but ma
tural that young boys are also ire
sponsible drivers. It is time some
