Once there were campfires
On hill and plain.
Once there were smoke-wreaths .
Where fields lie now,
And flames In the forests
That knew no pillow.
The red men built them:
Still there spells
The autumn wrath of wood-smoke
Upon blue hills.
And white men, strong men.
Laid them to rest
BY fires in the wilderness
From East to West.
Campfires, campfires,
From Maine to Oregon.
The ash Of their burning
Is scattered and gone.

And brave men trod,

MORAL AND FINANCIAL FTZZLE

MORAL AND FINANCIAL F1ZZLE
 As we seej it, the famous RFescrip- tion beer order of the Treasury De- pertinent is the first real crack in the foundation of this eountry's ri- diculous prohibition structure. Cow- ardly Raliticians everywhere are 1 beginning to sayly attack the law in response to public pressure and newspapers the states around are 1 echoing the growing opinion that the whole business is a farce, p!o- l hibitipg nothing but good liquor, creating an army of criminals drink ing more bad liquor and denying this country enormous revenue that it sadly needs. Neighboring coun- tries are pgofiting enormously at the expense of both our pockets and our stomachs, and the whole world laughs at us.
 We may not live long enough to see it, but we are convinced that sane regulation of the liquor traffic 1 will eventually superceGe present ! absurd conditions. It is we'll to look around Us dnd consider what the present Datlonal course means. For instance our neighdor. British Col : unbla, has taken over the liquor ! traffic and after several moLtEs' operation is in position to give the world some facts. While there has been some suspic:oil of graft, ls there inevitibly always must be, the operation of the act has on the whole been extremely satisfactory. There is little or no evidence of in- toxication in public places, except possibly es supplied by visitors from this side of international
 line; the vending ores are as rt. spectacle is bank or church; good liquor is dispensed and infractior of regulations Is severely dealt with
