at seems to me that the leaders in

superintendents, should get these
facts out to the public in clear-cut

1t is highly important that the people

THE leaders in education can get
these facts to the public thru the

The vote by which the national
house of Representatives Monday
night passed the bill to prevent
the sale of beer as a medicine
shows that the prohibition forces
are in the saddle in Washington
and are alert to the wishes of the
country III allowing no opening
wedge to be inserted in the liquor
laws. All this talk about beer
being good for the sick is so
much bunk-it is principally
useful to fatten Germans and
hogs-and was spread broadcast
over the country by the liquor
interests who foresaw that if they
could induce Congress to modify
the prohibition laws by allowing
beer to be sold on physicians
prescriptions there would be
opened thousand and one ways
for the sale of beer and that even
tually it would result in the un-
dermning of the whole Of the
prohibition laws. The anti-prohi-
bltion agitation, confined in the
main to the big cities which have
large German and Jewish popu-
latlons, will have to be watched.
however. The victory in the
house OF representatives Monday
night does not mean that the agi-
tation Is at an end. On the con-
trary, the liquor interests are rich
and powerful and it will require
constant vigilance on the part of
the Anti-Saloon league and other
societies and individuals promot-
ing good government to check
mate the moves of their organiza
hons and lobbyists in Washing

heightened by the impression

the duty of every citizen of the
