Brewers Have Not Yet Given Up i'm
 Fight for Rights

Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. 25.-
 Brewers of the United States will use every legal and constitutional means ''to keen that liberty and that property is guaranteed to us by the constitution" Christian w. Feigen- span declared here today at the Uni ted States Brewers conference of which he is president.
 Counting the non -ratifying states those which have not voted for sta te prohibition and those which have voted against federal or state con- stltutional prohibition in recent ycars," he said. "we have 25 or more than majority of the whole num- Der. There are 21 referendum states, 15 of which are not included in the foregoing. In these states the people have reserved to them selves "the power to approve or re- iect at the polls any act of the legislature" they must therefore be counted as states which have not ratified. Adding these states to the 25 mentioned heretofore, we have a total of 40 in which the people are either opposed to federal prohibition or have been denied their undoubted right to pass upon it. No wonder the proponents of this system fought tooth and nail against letting the people vote."
 "The present short period of pro- hibtion has been a blessing in dis guise It has aroused the American people to the necessity of being keenly on their guard to preserve their liberties. It has opened their eyes to the interruptions tactics and hypocrisies of certain irresponsible element which has almost escaped public condemnation because of a constant pretense of morality and righteousness.
 ''The so-called eighteenth amend ment will be obeyed faithfully by us as long as it is accounted a part of the constitution of the United States. Its misbegotten offspring the Volstead act, also will be obeyed as long as it continues to disfigure the statute books. This legislative monstrosity reveals in it's pages the solemn life-and admitted to be g 7ie-which attended the birth of the amendment.
 "It is part of the prohibition prop aranda today to pretend that the American people, thru their own ac ton have brought about the existing sitpatAn. Never was there a great e. falschood The American people pavar hage acted upon national pro

The Home Paper.

Ex-Governor Francis once said the
following of newspapers: Each year
the local paper gives from $500 to
81 900 in free lines to the commun-
ity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The edi-
tor in proportion to his means does
more for his home town than any
other ten men, and in all fairness he
ought to be supported-not because
you like him or admire his writings,
but because the local paper is the
best investment a community can
make. 1t may not be brilliantly edit
ed or crowded with thought, but f.
nancially it is of more benefit to the
community than the preacher or the
teacher. Understand me, I do not
mean mentally and yet on moral
questions Won viii find most of the
papers on the right side. Today the
editors of the local papers do the
most for the least money of any peO-
pie on earth"

PAYING COURT TO MISS VOTER.
Within Short Time Voting Population
of State Will be Doubled by
Powers Granted Women

Politicians of all parts are bidding
for the women voters. Within very
short time the voting population OF
this state will be doubled by full vot-
ing powers granted to women. So the
woman vote is being courted strongly
by political SWANS singing beneath
the windows of feminine franchise
protestations of undying affection,
says the Marshalltown Times Repub-
fican. ~
1t will be we'll if politicians do not
promise too much in the wooing and
if their dear object does not ask too
much. Citizenship and it's acquisition
is serious matter and should be ap-
preached with a strong sense and un-
derstanding of it's responsibility. 1t is
mot a matter of direct advantage to
sex or to be played as a chip in the
game" There is and has been no
doubt in the mind of this newspaper
that woman. suffrage is just and that
the voting citizenship of women will
ultimately advantage all citizenship.
But the womsa Who. are to vote must,
If this advantag gets TO be gained, ap-
proach their new privilege, not as 2
parallel in a seige of advantage, but
as a duty and high responsibility
The average woman will vote as
1ntelligently as the average man
The average man would vote more
intelligently if he held his vote as q
higher personal privilege than he
seems to at present and to have done
in the past. The tendency among us
is to vote against somebody or
something more than to vote for is
sues and men. In short, most of US
cast negative rather than an AFR
native vote. Most of us fail to look
forward and beneath the surface.
Most of us vote specifically.
Let us hope that the woman vote
viii seek to display the higher citi-
zenship that judges and decides
rather than traffics.
