REJOICE AND GUARD THE
VICTORY

John Barleycorn will be le-
gally dead at midnight and the
sun will rise tomorrow morning
on the greatest nation on earth
legally dry.
While this is the hour OF vic
tory and we rejoice at the over
throw Of the giant who had
stranglc-hold on every fiber OF
our institutions, we must not
forget that wise admonition,
Eternal vigilence is the price of
liberty" Old John is dead but
he has left behind strong bat
talon that is still under the
spell of his illusions. They will
be slceplcss in their efforts to
restore his baleful influence, to
regain the strangle-holo they
have lost. Until they, too, have
learned the power OF public
opinion, the Waterman must be
vigilant at their posts.
Let us rejoice, but let us
guard our victory with jealous
care.-Pittsheld Times.

WELL BEGUN is HALF
DONE

We live too near the event to real
ize the full significance of Americas
going dry. The richest and most
powerful nation in the world carries
some weight in the opinions of other
nations. 1t will not be possible to
sneer Prohibition out of court in
other sections of the world when it
works successfully here. Some of the
more conservative nations of Europe
may delay for while, but the de-
mands made by economic competi-
ton between different nationalistic
groups of workingmen will end the
saloon in one nation after another.
Well begun is half done.-The
